What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 334. Dimensional Engineer, Level 334 Member

To Kroya's surprise, all of Ivy's invitations were rejected, with responses from Estner and Milfin all conveying a sense of apology.

The gist of it is that they are very busy and simply don't have time to come over—especially Estner, who has been busy fighting alongside the battle mages of Star Town, and has even resigned as the president of the Norland Kingdom's Mage Association.

For him, being able to fight everywhere and learn more advanced knowledge was far more enjoyable than being a beast of burden in the Mage Guild.

"That's really cool."

"So you're actually a hardcore battle enthusiast?"

When Kroya saw this reply, he wholeheartedly agreed. As long as you have the strength, it's easy for a mage to gain status.

If Estner truly possesses a higher level of strength, even if he doesn't want to be the president of the Mage Association, a large group of people will beg him to take the position.

Everyone else is also busy. The entire human world is undergoing dramatic changes, and they also need to deal with and adapt to them.

"...It seems we'll have to wait until things are over before we can get together again."

Although he could understand, the lack of response to his call still left him feeling frustrated. He sighed softly and then pulled up the list of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild.

Since things have come to this, let's go shopping first.

When I'm in a bad mood, I feel like spending some money. I have money anyway, so why not spend it?

These days, his number of magic crystals has already exceeded ten million. After deducting the daily maintenance, the number of magic crystals he can control has reached about twenty million.

He is currently a level four member, and upgrading to level five requires ten million magic crystals. He has been waiting for enough magic crystals to make the purchase, but he has been too busy with other matters to do so.

Since I had nothing to do at the moment, I decided to go on a shopping spree.

"Miya-sensei, is there anything you want?"

"I'll just take a look. By the way, what are you planning to buy?" Miya asked in return.

"A plane." Kroya replied immediately, "I want to gradually transfer the mines and other things into a plane, so that when I leave this world, I can take everything with me."

He said with some distress, "It's still because my strength is not enough. Even with the ability to fix space that you gave me, it is extremely difficult to create a stable space."

Miya remained calm: "It's already difficult for you to get involved in this kind of thing right now. You're already very powerful. If it weren't for your special magic, you would need to go to the astral plane to get involved in space."

"The Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce offers both good and bad planes. My advice is to just buy the most basic one and don't buy any additional services."

"Oh?" Chloe blinked. It seemed that he had been tricked before. Even Mia could be tricked by the Holy Spring Merchant Guild like this?

Despite the curiosity and doubt in his eyes, Miya quietly sailed away on the Wind Boat, not wanting to mention the past, which was clearly not a pleasant memory.

"Tsk."

Kroya suppressed his curiosity and turned his gaze back to the Holy Spring vent—which had already revealed the dimensional sales services it could offer.

The Shengquan Chamber of Commerce has been incredibly supportive as always.

Indeed, there is a wide variety of them, ranging from different elemental planes to planes with special minerals and races. In fact, due to Kroya's special authority, it even displays some huge planes that are second only to the main plane.

It contains complete laws, cyclical mineral veins, and different intelligent races...

You could say that if you could buy a world like this, you might even consider becoming a god in it for fun.

The price needs to be negotiated with the sage of the Holy Spring, which is similar to the idea of ​​non-sale items in luxury stores.

Kroa was able to browse calmly.

Then focus your attention on the plane you need, which is the simplest one, one with basic elemental magic that allows humans and most magical beasts and plants to live.

Surprisingly, this dimension is more expensive than the elemental dimension. With Kroa's current magic crystals, he can only afford two micro-dimensions.

Its area is roughly the size of the Kingdom of Norland.

He hesitated slightly, then said enthusiastically, "If you have any doubts about the price or do not have enough funds at the moment, we can provide you with a loan service."

You are authorized by Lord Solon's Holy Spring to obtain loans exceeding 300 million magic crystals. Of course, all you need to do is sign a simple contract; no collateral is required.

"..."

"Um???"

As expected of a super guild capable of conducting business across dimensions, they can even provide loans, and they even have the authority to obtain 300 million magic crystals, which is no small amount.

It's estimated that even the major races would have some difficulty producing 300 million magic crystals at once.

Even if a rich mine is fully mined, it would only yield tens of millions of magic crystals at most. The Yavana Holy Mine is divided among so many countries, and its total reserves are said to be only one hundred million.

He was quite moved, then decisively refused: "I don't need it, I'll just buy two miniature dimensions."

The voice of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce sounded somewhat regretful: "Okay, may I ask what method you require to control the plane? We can offer you two solutions."

The first method: You only need to enter our magic rune number to enter your dimension from any region or place.

The second option: We will compress the plane for you, giving you a sphere of the plane, which you can then stabilize and store yourself.

"In addition, if you need to plan and process the plane, we will also provide you with the most complete and excellent plane construction engineers to optimize it for you."

The light screen in front of Kroya changed again, this time displaying the profiles of various "plane engineers," including humans, dwarves, and even elemental beings unknown to Kroya.

The introduction details their areas of expertise.

For example, one of the fire elemental creatures, "Korba Fireman," is best at optimizing planes in terms of fire elements. It can easily plan any kind of magical beasts and plants, or even fire element factories.

There is also an unknown creature called the "Nenat Star Worm," which can construct spatial structures across vast planes, dividing them and drilling wormholes to create natural spatial teleportation arrays.

As for other beings such as humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons, there are even more diverse and dazzling species—and without exception, all of these planar engineers are of very high level, with some of the most powerful even being legends or gods.

Although "legend" is a very broad concept, encompassing both weak and strong legends, it is still one of the ultimate goals for extraordinary individuals. The fact that a legend would work for someone is quite absurd.

After carefully reviewing the introductions of these dimensional engineers, Kroya asked, "What procedures or tests are required if I want to become a dimensional engineer?"

He was genuinely tempted. If he could participate in something like this, he could definitely accumulate a lot of experience and expand his network in advance. Most importantly, he had an innate advantage in the field of transformation.

This time, the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce remained silent for a long time.

—The hourglass beside it had been running for a full ten minutes before it finally gave its answer: "Lord Solon the Holy Spring has given you a reply and will give you a micro-plane. You need to complete the basic plane modification within it."

Once you successfully complete the modification, you will receive our Dimensional Engineer Junior Certificate and enjoy the special benefits associated with Dimensional Engineers.

It is extremely rare for an eighth-level mage to obtain a planar engineer's license. Even mages trained by major powers cannot accurately see through the essence of a plane at the eighth level, let alone modify it.

To date, the lowest-ranking planar engineer in the Holy Spring Merchant Guild is level ten, and only at level ten can one freely travel in the astral plane and drive floating islands around.

Although Kroya had guessed that he was somewhat special, he didn't expect it to be that special. He readily accepted: "Then let's begin the transaction now."

"I choose the second option: to compress the dimension and install it myself."

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him, from which a massive amount of magic crystals gushed out and flowed into the Holy Spring Geyser of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild, which indiscriminately consumed them all.

Above it is a real-time statistic of the magic crystals.

After reaching 20 million magic crystals, the Holy Spring stopped and, after a brief silence, announced: "Your current total consumption has reached 26 million magic crystals."

You have been upgraded to Level 5 Member.

"Your Clockwork Golem can evolve again, changing its internal spatial structure to adapt to the clockwork structure of the space factory."

"The support attacks you can now summon will be upgraded to the intermediate divine power level."

"You may choose one item from our treasure vault to take with you."

"Happy shopping, dear Level 5 member."

As its voice faded, even more deep blue liquid spilled from the holy spring's vent, covering Kroya's entire field of vision within a few short seconds.

It was still the familiar deep blue illusion, but this time countless small fish swam in the environment. Each of these fish represented a treasure, and their numbers were as numerous as stars in a galaxy.

Kroya was once again surprised by the strength of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild.

He blinked, seriously considering how much he could take away if he used the power of the Ring of Radiance to break the seal here.

—Wealth truly is a powerful motivator.

However, after careful consideration, he gave up. If he were to take it that way, it would definitely lead to a complete falling out, and he didn't know if he could even succeed.

So he simply looked at these treasures with admiration, and saw near-legendary level staffs, high-level magical plants and beasts, and some special ancient magic books.

Each member can only enter the treasure trove of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce once. The contents are not explained in detail, and what you get depends entirely on your luck.

Of course, the Holy Spring Merchant Guild also generously allows its members to use identification magic, and they can use any method to identify the type of magic they want.

This is good news for Kroa.

He strolled leisurely, blinking, focusing primarily on the magical plants and beasts, and the rest of his attention on the ancient texts.

As for those high-level magical artifacts, staves, rings, bracelets, and the like, he really didn't care. With his divine gear, he didn't need those kinds of things at all.

As we walked and looked around, time flew by.

During this time, he also saw some magical beasts and magical plants that attracted him, such as a kind of "void worm", which can bite through space and then reassemble it into a special crystal.

That crystal is the purest spatial energy, which can be used to create and manufacture spatial magic artifacts. If you accumulate a lot, you can even build a small space.

They are extremely rare, and because they are very adept at traversing space, they are rarely caught. Even the Holy Spring Merchant Guild cannot sell them openly and can only keep them in its treasure vault.

There is also a magical plant called the "Kabbalah Wishing Mother Tree," whose appearance is related to the "Kabbalah Tree of Life" that the goddess of the underworld brought to Kroya before.

Its internal astral structure is very special; it is an endless ball of light, like a fountain in a wishing well that never stops flowing.

Its abilities involve "wishes" and "desires".

"It can fulfill a wish to become a god directly."

After glancing at its outstretched branches, Kroya immediately looked away with some apprehension. This thing was powerful, but also evil.

He continued his aimless search.

A few days later, he suddenly sensed something and walked straight in a certain direction. There, in a corner that looked no different from any other place, he saw a small, unremarkable rainbow-colored grass.

It grows quietly inside the enclosure provided by the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. Apart from being a bit more colorful and radiating a bit more vitality, it has nothing special about it.

Only someone like Kroya, who has studied "The Rainbow Poem," can discover its special features. It contains a rainbow grass space, and who knows what's inside.

This is a special ability that "spreads throughout all the lands of rainbow grass," a special ability that Kroa has not yet been able to learn.

Whether it's Apollo, the ancient sun god, or even your own mysterious "grandfather," they are all important.

Kroa made a decisive choice.

The moment Kroya received it, she was expelled from this place and returned to the outside world. In her hand was a small rainbow-colored grass, but only then did Kroya notice a small olive wreath mark on its leaves.

It seemed as if a goddess wearing an olive wreath was smiling gently at him.

"..."

So this was also left behind by the goddess Athena?

Wait, if it's the goddess Athena... then wouldn't Apollo be her contemporary?

There are things left behind by Apollo here.
