Chapter 499 (2/2)
Hao Ren glared at her and said, “Am I a man who doesn’t keep his word? MDT, check how far away Holletta is from here.”
He did not make the decision to send Becky back on a whim. Instead, he realized that all the origins of The First Born—the secret of the goddess of creation must be revealed quickly, and no doubt that The Disciples of Glory of Holletta must have possessed some clues. Plus he still had to deal with the two sleeping First Borns, he must go and take this opportunity to get everything done once and for all.
“Well,” suddenly the MDT spoke. “Let’s just wait for a moment, the coordinates I set in Holetta was disturbed by the information of the Surface World. It’s not the same as the current state The Plane of Dreams is in now. I need to run some calculations to convert the two’s mapping relationships. Please wait.”
Becky was bouncing off the walls when she thought of her noble manor estate which was already at her fingertips. But anyway, after all the experience of the city of gold, she was more restrained as she only whispered to herself.
Hao Ren looked at her, from beside her. Looks like Becky would have to re-adapt for a few days more before she could actually go home. Look at her—does she even have a bit of bumpkinness in her like she used to be? The way she spoke the earth’s vocabulary—headline news, paid-for ticket, temporary residence permit—it wasn’t entirely improbable that she would be deemed as someone who was suffered from brain damage after exploring the relics, and sent to mental hospital when she returned to Holletta.
The MDT had completed the conversion, figuring out the real, relative position between Becky’s hometown and the plane of Tannagost. It flew ove Hao Ren’s head. “Are we teleporting or flying over? We could still catch some sceneries if we fly in spacecraft while finding out other planets along the way. But teleportation will save you time.”
Hao Ren gestured with his mouth telling the MDT to look at Becky who was becoming impatient. “If we go by spacecraft, I’m afraid she would wreck the whole control console.”
“Well, then teleport…”
“Wait a second,” something suddenly crossed Hao Ren’s mind as he stopped the MDT. “I need to prepare for the future.”
Hao Ren led his clueless partners to the entrance where they had come from, the spatial fissure beneath Andrea Castle. He glanced at the empty square around him and then took out a set of teleportation equipment from his dimensional pocket—the same type which he used in his own basement. He then summoned several autonomous robots to install the equipment next to the spatial fissure, and set up a simple protective layer around it with a beam barrier so that the entire spatial fissure and teleportation equipment were shrouded in it. No wild life would be able to trespass—if there were any.
“This is a simple base.” Hao Ren clapped his hands in satisfaction. He then scanned the square. “I will renovate the square and turn it into a base next time… at least transforming it into a small station. This is the key entrance to The Plane of Dreams from the real world. It should be built up nicely.”
“Are you addicted with building stuff? You’ve even said you wanted to build an ice town on the snowfield,” Vivian said. “It sounds awesome, though. Where is the teleportation equipment? Are we going home?”
‘No, it’s still a bit dangerous to use the teleportation equipment to travel directly between the real world and The Plane of Dreams. This teleportation equipment is an escape route in The Plane of Dreams,” Hao Ren said of his plan. “I’m going to place the first node in Hollerta. We can expect we will traverse frequently in The Plane of Dreams, leaving a node for each new location will make travel much easier. After all, it’s less efficient and not very comfortable to teleport using the MDT.”
Vivian seemed to have guessed Hao Ren’s long-term plan. She looked at Hao Ren curiously. “You are planning for the future?”
“I have a hunch,” Hao Ren smiled. “Just be prepared. We might need it… There may be times when we couldn’t depend on the ad hoc setups. And to be honest, it’s interesting to build houses..”
After leaving behind the teleportation equipment, Hao Ren patted the MDT and said, “Let’s go and surprise Marshal Opra.”
