Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 170: The Ultimate Customization Feature

"If you have not seen miracles, then don't blink."

D waved his hands and gestured a few brush strokes with his index finger and his mind completed the rest of the picture. Within seconds, the picture of a bunny was visible on the board. D gave it a pale brown colour, and continued to add more details. Lee noticed an Essence cost indicator at the bottom right corner of the screen.

'So it makes plushie?'

Lee was simultaneously confused and irritated by his initial evaluation. But he did guess that the Workshop might have a higher function than what meets the eye.

The next second, a very detailed rabbit was born. It was as if it was alive. Lee observed the rabbit's picture, and then noticed the Essence cost indicator on the bottom right corner suddenly go from mere hundreds to half a billion.

'What?'

Hudson was briefed about the speciality of the system, and was given a brief description on the usage and property of Essence. Even he was dumbfounded by the sudden change, and peered at D. Lee too was confused and was staring at the display and D repeatedly.

Half a billion Essence was deducted from Lee's reserve and the screen disappeared. At the next instant, a living bunny was manifested in front of them. It fell to the ground, and looked around, to see three towering individuals staring at it. Afraid, it ran away to a distance and settled there, while gnawing leaves.

Hudson had his jaw dropped by the turn of events. The Workshop was a feature that could enable them to create living beings. Lee also had never expected such a feat with the upgrade.

"The creation of living beings is the maximum extent of the Workshop's potential. It can also create inanimate objects, weapons and even design skills from scratch. It is the Alter of Shop. It is the greatest achievement through the upgrade."

Lee could not be wonderstruck any further. Creating life is a great feat to be proud of, and this one upgrade has brought him the ultimate customization feature into his hands. The ability to design skills from scratch felt like over exaggeration to Lee, but he did not question the words of D. Unlike him, Hudson had some difficulty in digesting the reality.

The rabbit was running here and there, and soon found nothing suitable to eat. D drew a square plot of farmland on the screen, which he described to have carrots growing. He did not forget to add wooden fences around it, and drew another seven carrots for the rabbit to eat now. Pressing the transaction button, a quarter million Essence was reduced from his reserve.

Right before their eyes, an agricultural plot had manifested. The brown unpolluted soil was beautiful with a few shoots of leaves among them. The growth of the vegetation was quick so as to provide the rabbit with a regular amount of carrots.

"So Lee, you basically have acquired an all-terrain vehicle. Now it is up to you to drive it and bring out its maximum potential."

Lee understood what D meant and gave a nod in return. Spending a few moments thinking, he raised a question which was crucial for his survival.

"What is the conversion rate of Essence to attribute points?" (Lee)

"About that, I have already told you that it would be painful. To further escalate the difficulty, the conversion rate is 5500 Essence for each physical attribute point, and 9000 Essence for each mental attribute point. The system is directly wired to the soul, so the existence of soul attributes are irrelevant.

EsGen and EsConv are merged together, and are now embedded in the system. The production of Essence has been enhanced to an extent.

And there are some other conditions too. The Vanadium-Titanium alloy bow will need 45 Essence for a common arrow from here onwards. A homing arrow needs 90 Essence and an explosive arrow needs 75 Essence to manifest. The bow is also reconstructed to go compatible with normal wooden and metal arrows, so make sure to design some when you have time. The elemental arrows will not be available in the bow, but you will have to make them in Workshop."

D waved his hand and the screen disappeared. He turned around to see the faces of Hudson and Lee, and spoke-

"The System Space is your territory. It has only the size of a hectare, but I have managed to incorporate a lake, a hill and a flat land into it. You can bring your familiar beasts and people into the space from the EsGen storage, and can move them vice versa. Those that have been in the EsGen storage for even once, will be subjected for Essence harvesting. Thus if you bring your companions here, they can move around and practice, while being productive simultaneously.

To exit the System Space and return to reality, the absolute affinity with the Space element will help you. Use the element to create a spatial tear and you will see your exit. But remember, spatial tears are temporary and unstable portals which can cause unexpected events when kept forcefully open. So you will have to be quick after creating a tear. Prolonging more than a minute is gravely dangerous.

It would be the only way through which anyone in the System Space could move towards the reality and return. You will be the only person with its complete control."

Lee turned to his right and slashed diagonally. The Space element was activated and it created a spatial tear. He found his first try to be successful, and stepped towards it, to exit the space.

"When I am gone from the System Space, Bring An, Mia, Ruella, Tera, Gauthama, Fero and Perrafin into the System Space. Please explain the properties of the System Space to them, and introduce the new member to the family."

Saying this, Lee disappeared into the void, and the portal closed behind him. All traces of his existence vanished from the System Space, and the rabbit beheld this awe-inspiring scene. The carrot in its mouth fell on the ground, and it was not able to comprehend what had happened even after a minute of contemplation.

Meanwhile, our protagonist had stepped outside of the System Space.
