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

Chapter 405. Dimensional Engineer Qualification, Titan Technology

This... this guy might be my shill, right?

For a fleeting moment, Kroya even wondered if this was a scam targeting Tiria, because the latter's expression visibly turned ugly, and she pushed Atreus away without saying a word.

Then I focused intently on drawing gashapon capsules.

But the result was obviously not very pleasant—she kept drawing the most common white and slightly more advanced blue, not to mention the most advanced colors, she didn't even get a single purple.

This can't be explained by just bad luck; it feels like something mysterious is involved.

"Are you sure the program isn't set up wrong?" He didn't even look closely anymore and secretly asked Eden. The latter felt very wronged and wanted to cry because of his father's doubts.

"I can't be wrong! She's just really unlucky!"

"Okay, okay~ I know, I know."

Kroya comforted it for a while before looking speechlessly at Tiria, whose blue and white gashapon toys were piling up around her, wondering if she had made a design mistake.

Yeah, there's no guaranteed minimum.

Although he admitted that he had always been ruthless, he felt that not setting a guaranteed minimum was still too much, so he secretly modified the gashapon machine system.

The moment the setting took effect, a "ding-ding-ding!" sound rang out, and a colorful gashapon fell into the exit, inside which was a picture of a swaying pink wind chime.

The label reads: "[Lily of the Valley, which can be used to complete the Beginning of the Reef Pokédex, currently 1/2 available.]"

Tiria looked at the 90,000 Eden Coins she had spent, took a deep breath, picked up the Calm Lily of the Valley card, and laughed, "Nothing special. If I want it, I can get it."

"But why isn't there another card in the gashapon machine?"

Kroya replied, "Because it's spring now, and the harvest of 'Thick Potatoes' is in autumn, which means it will only be available in autumn—by the way, the 'Peaceful Lily of the Valley' card will also be temporarily unavailable after this gacha pool ends."

Atreus: "...Limited edition?"

He looked at Chloe with the gaze one might give a capitalist, and said in a strange tone, "You really know how to plan, don't you? If I wanted it, wouldn't I have to take it now? If I can't take it, it's gone?!"

Meeting his gaze, Chloe smiled: "Of course."

Now it was Tiria's turn to smile, while Atreus looked worried.

Fortunately, Kroa has always been good at balancing things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to raise so many elves who love him so much, and even want to be so domineering as to monopolize him, and still be able to do so with ease.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?" and said with clumsy acting, "Atreus, what you got is a collector's item card. Even though it's only one-seventh of the original, you can exchange it for candy once it's grown."

Candy?

Atreus immediately abandoned the idea of ​​arguing with Tiria. He looked down and saw that the chibi-style sunflower was pure gold, radiating a constant, seemingly eternal golden light.

Gold, candy...

"Is that the golden candy I bought for 200,000 level 3 magic crystals?" Atreus's eyes lit up.

"yes."

"However, it is very delicate. You can't just feed it any growth-accelerating liquid. It needs careful care to produce golden candies."

"My friend!"

Before Kroya could finish speaking, Atreus leaned in with a big smile, putting his arm around her shoulder like a pirate roaming the astral plane: "Friend, why don't you just sell me some?"

"I will use it as a congratulatory gift for the emperor."

"Those eternal candies... are truly rare treasures that are hard to find. I'm willing to buy them for 300,000 each. I'll buy as many as you have."

The only response he received was Chloe's calm voice: "Open your mouth."

"Huh?" Atreus instinctively opened his mouth, and then was fed a golden candy. The sweetness and warmth, as if frozen sunlight, flooded his heart, making him feel comfortable all over.

"We're friends, so I'm not stingy with what I give you."

Kroya casually picked up a plate and placed it on the table, chuckling softly, "But our friendship... I hope nothing else will get in the way."

To put it bluntly, he simply didn't want to sell to the emperor.

Ultimately, I rose through the ranks from the Astral Council, and my connections are mostly there. The Astral Council and the Starsea Empire are currently in a very stable state.

He didn't want to break the rules—perhaps he overestimated his abilities, but who knows what unexpected things might happen, so it was better to be a little more careful.

One or two alone might be okay, but who knows what will happen with more? He will have to do some processing on the candies in the future, at least to prevent the "laws" about the rainbow from taking shape.

"Alright~ alright." Atreus sighed helplessly, reached out and picked up a candy to taste, then changed the subject: "This place is similar to your divine realm, where you can build whatever you want. What if we were inside a plane?"

"Tiria and I have agreed that we will provide you with a complete medium-sized plane for renovation. We can also help you with future customer acquisition and some other complicated matters, but as for the shares..."

He blinked and looked at Chloe.

Kroya said quite frankly:

"Don't worry about the renovation. This place is actually a bit too dreamlike. If I were to actually renovate the interior, I would make it more natural."

I'm very good at this; you can handle it without any problem.

"As for the shares, each of you will own 20%."

"I have the right of first refusal to purchase your shares if you intend to withdraw them in the future. This represents a total of 40% of the shares."

"Can."

Neither party had any objection to the shareholding, so after a brief departure, Tiria retrieved a contract stamped with the emperor's seal. It was just a thin piece of paper, yet it carried a great power that seemed capable of suppressing galaxies.

Kroa was curious about this.

Even though he had just arrived in the Astral Plane, he was aware of the Emperor's formidable reputation.

One of the strongest known beings in the astral plane, he has slain the astral dragons, annihilated the Aetheric God, and wiped out an entire tyrannical civilization. Among many civilizations, he is almost referred to as the creator.

Such a powerful being... his mark was actually a plum blossom claw print.

It looks like he just grabbed a cat and pressed it.

After glancing at it a few times, Kroya signed his name along with the two electors and then submitted the document, with the Star Council and the Star Sea Empire each keeping a copy.

Afterwards, Tiria and Atreus readily took Chloe to the medium-sized plane they had chosen.

The plane is located at module 10085 of the Genesis Star Ring.

This is considered a mid-level piece of the Genesis Ring. It's said that Atreus bought it casually when he came here to adventure. The price was relatively low back then, but now it's worth more than a hundred times.

He and Tiria own dozens of similar businesses, and if it weren't for the purchase restrictions imposed by Genesis Star Ring, they could probably have expanded to several hundred.

All Kroya could say was that hoarding houses existed in other worlds too; what wicked landlords and landlords they were.

However, since Genesis Ring can create and extend modules indefinitely, is it really meaningful to purchase "real estate" in this way?

—This doubt vanished in an instant, and he quickly realized why: the earlier the number, the higher the status, the closer to that infinite sun, and the more sunlight one enjoys.

It seems the competitive spirit is quite strong in the Astral Realm, not just among the nobles, but also among the mages.

He shook his head and looked into the distance.

In an instant, his powerful mental energy allowed him to see this medium-sized plane clearly. It was indeed a good plane, with basic magic, various terrain structures, and all kinds of mountains and rivers.

"A very nice dimension."

"We have everything we need, so the modifications won't be difficult..."

"Hmm, I estimate it will take about a month."

Kroya provided an estimated timeframe.

"A month is already incredibly fast, take your time, there's no rush."

"Anyway, we're going back to the Empire anyway, so we'll come back then."

The two electors beside him were curious about how Kroya would transfer that strange environment from that divine realm to reality, but they also knew that this might involve Kroya's secrets.

So after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they said goodbye and left. They planned to return to the Empire and bring a group of good friends here to experience it. Their friends were, of course, all powerful and influential people.

Making money by exploiting the lower classes is pointless and doesn't bring in any profit. It's better to take advantage of your friends!

……

After seeing off the two chosen emperors, Kroya did not immediately begin the transformation. Instead, he first used a special method to "photograph" and upload the assessment results of the planar engineer he obtained from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild.

He was indeed very confident in his strength in magical beasts and magical plants, but he also wanted to learn about the advanced concepts of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild—it was said that after becoming a plane engineer, one would have the authority to purchase some special items.

He initially thought his application would require some time to be reviewed, but to his surprise, he heard a voice coming from inside just a few minutes after he started using it:

"Dear Protoss, congratulations on your successful approval."

"You are now a Level 1 Plane Engineer. Please modify the plane yourself and record the entire process, or you can take a plane modification task from us to upgrade your level."

"You have access to a unique list of items for Dimensional Engineers. The items you can purchase will vary depending on your level."

Happy shopping!

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the "emotions" of this holy spring vent seem to be fuller, as if there really is a warm-hearted staff member there communicating and responding on the spot.

"Is it because my level has increased? Or is it because of the Time Treasure?" He squinted thoughtfully—although the process of robbing the Time Treasure last time was extremely easy, he didn't believe that the other party would not have noticed.

Moreover, the attitudes of Qi Ya and Mi Ya during this process seemed to be a joke, or rather, a "tacit understanding" between two treasures.

So what is the Time Treasure plotting against itself?

He didn't know, but it didn't matter.

You are indeed a treasure, but it's not like Kroa hasn't seen treasures before; he's even been kissed and blessed by one.

So he quickly calmed down and started looking at the newly refreshed product list, and was surprised by the prices—the simplest water magic dust that could make elemental spring water was priced at several hundred level 2 magic crystals per bottle.

Its function is to guide the water flow of the elemental plane to converge into a river in a designated area when sprinkled on the ground. The advanced version can also increase magic power and change the properties of magic power.

Furthermore, the hammer that shapes the terrain, the spell that can create volcanic hot springs, the alchemy that can turn a certain substance into a continuous vein of minerals... these things gave Kroya the feeling that they were specifically designed for some lower planes.

Do advanced dimensions really need something like this?

Or perhaps some powerful mages could do it by simply chanting some spells?

He found it strange and simply asked, "Aren't these things a bit low-level for a legendary item? A plane engineer's tools shouldn't be this rudimentary."

The Holy Spring Spout immediately replied, "This is indeed for novice plane engineers to practice. Your assessment is special; it will be relatively stricter if no one recommends you."

Perhaps these things seem rudimentary to you, esteemed Protoss, but for novice planar engineers, they can greatly help them save energy and focus their limited efforts on shaping more critical positions.

Hmm, that explanation does make sense.

Indeed, some of the things sold here are nothing to Kroya, but he does have such a large territory, so many apprentices, so many elves who can work for him, and he can even bring in the world consciousness of an entire world to work for him.

Thinking about it that way, he realized that the things they were selling seemed pretty good.

Although he himself wouldn't really need it, it would be great for his apprentices. He was confident that he would earn enough money to recoup his investment, and it would be nice to be able to buy some quick and convenient gadgets.

So he began to seriously calculate how to build it, and summoned Eden, through whom he connected with the Tower Spirit, and had it draw up the blueprint with him.

"We can leave the vegetation to the plants themselves. I will mark them and let them decide where they feel most comfortable. That's nature's choice."

"The direction and course of the river need to be influenced by the world's consciousness. If that doesn't work, we can ask the Terai River to come and help."

"Let the elves handle the flow of the wind, the flickering of the flames... My requirement is that everything, except for the fields, should be made in accordance with the harmony of nature."

He and Tarling gradually refined the blueprint, purchasing more and more items. As the list went down, he began to discover some exceptionally expensive items.

It is clearly marked as: Titan Technology Creation.

Titans, these giant creatures are extremely powerful beings in many myths and legends. They are incredibly strong in individual combat and are also skilled in crafting special treasures.

Even golden races like elves and mermaids were no match for them; it was as if all the power and aura surrounding these giants were bestowed upon them.

Cloa was naturally interested in their things.

—What's being sold here is a "sky canopy" based on Titan's dimensional consciousness, integrating teleportation, communication, intelligent services, isolation from external interference, and protection of the interior.

Kroya immediately thought of the starry sky.

"It should be a censored version."

"But this thing is really powerful. It can penetrate into the world consciousness... I can only interfere with it using the power of the Rainbow Poem."

"Speaking of which, primordial gold can bestow souls upon inanimate objects, transforming them into 'magical beasts' that can be studied and observed through astral inscription techniques. Could this work?"

A bold idea popped into his head.

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
