Chapter 86: Testing New Features

The staff had just reached Zhao Hai's hands when the spatial prompt sounded: "Wraith Staff, can automatically extend and retract, longest five meters, shortest 0.5 meters. In dark environments, it can emit light and use all spatial functions."

Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't expected the staff to have such effects, which was a pleasant surprise.

Although the first two functions weren't very useful to Zhao Hai, having them was better than nothing. Zhao Hai was also very satisfied with the staff's design.

Zhao Hai turned his head and glanced at the screen, tapping the store icon. The store page appeared, and the first page was still ordinary seeds. Zhao Hai took a quick look. Apart from the seeds that were already in the space, there were now many more plants unique to the Ark Continent. Zhao Hai looked up and found the decoration option.

Zhao Hai tapped the decoration option, and indeed, a decoration page popped up. It was similar to a game, with a row of house images appearing on the screen.

Zhao Hai glanced at them and found that each image had a price tag, indicating that this was indeed similar to a game, and using these backgrounds also required additional payment.

Zhao Hai looked at the images and finally found a background that could be bought for one gold coin. This background was the same as the small villa he used in the game. He noticed that there was also a fence, doghouse, and background. However, Zhao Hai didn't need the last three items, so he spent one gold coin to buy the house image and decorated it.

As soon as he tapped the decoration button, Zhao Hai felt a tremor around him, and then everything around him was enveloped in a layer of white light.

When the white light disappeared, Zhao Hai was stunned. He found that he was no longer sitting on a small stool. Instead, he was sitting on a sofa in a large living room. The living room was over twenty square meters, and he was sitting on a sofa. This was a set of sofas, consisting of one large and two small ones. The large sofa could seat five people, while the two small ones could each seat one person. The floor was covered with a carpet, and there was a coffee table in the middle. The coffee table was wooden, with a cherry red color, and very beautiful. Directly opposite the large sofa was a 42-inch screen, which was currently off. On the coffee table was a remote control-like device.

Zhao Hai stood up from the sofa and looked around. He found that the house was indeed very large. On the first floor, in addition to the living room, there were two bathrooms, a hot spring room, a storage room, a kitchen, a dining room, and two guest rooms.

Zhao Hai took a look at the first floor and found that the bathrooms were all modern. Each bathroom was about five square meters, with a toilet, a bathtub, a showerhead that could adjust hot and cold water, a sink, and a large mirror. The two bathrooms had the same layout.

The kitchen was well-equipped, suitable for both Chinese and Western cooking. All the kitchen utensils were shiny and clearly new. The dining room had a long table that could seat eight people, with a few ordinary landscape oil paintings hanging on the walls.

The hot spring room was relatively simple, with a floor made of small stones that were both slip-resistant and could massage the soles of the feet. The room was about five square meters, with a resting stone and tiled walls.

The storage room contained various household items, from basins to buckets, from mops to brooms, and even five ironing boards and an electric iron.

The guest rooms were relatively simple, each with a bed, a wardrobe, two bedside tables, and a lamp. There was also a small table and two sofas near the window. The layout of the two guest rooms was the same.

The first floor alone was almost two hundred square meters. Zhao Hai then went up the stairs to the second floor. Unlike the first floor, the second floor had no living room or kitchen. Apart from one bathroom, there were only five bedrooms. Four of them had the same layout as the two guest rooms on the first floor, while one had an additional 32-inch screen, but was otherwise similar.

Zhao Hai returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and picked up the remote control-like device. The buttons on it were very simple. The bottom row was a power button, the second row had three numbers: 1, 2, and 3, and below that was a circular button with up, down, left, and right arrows, and in the middle was a button labeled "OK." At the bottom was a smooth, touch-screen-like surface.

Zhao Hai looked at the remote control and pressed the power button. The screen lit up, showing a desktop similar to the original one, with the same icons and no changes.

Zhao Hai pressed the "1" button, and a voice from the screen said, "You haven't set up a teleportation point. Do you want to set one up now?" The same message appeared on the screen. Zhao Hai habitually said, "Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, the "Yes" on the screen seemed to be clicked, and the message disappeared. Then a map appeared on the screen.

Zhao Hai was stunned as he looked at the map. He didn't understand what it meant. At that moment, the prompt sound came again, "Please select a teleportation point."

Zhao Hai carefully examined the map and found that it clearly showed all the places they had been from the Black Earth Wasteland to here, from the castle to the city of Ka, and all the places they had visited. The places they hadn't been to were still dark.

A small white arrow, like a mouse pointer on a computer, appeared on the screen. Zhao Hai stared at the arrow, then looked at the remote control in his hand, focusing on the touch-screen-like surface at the bottom. He lightly touched it with his finger, and the mouse pointer on the screen moved.

Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected the operation to be so simple. He carefully examined the map and pointed the arrow at the Green Stone Manor, then tapped it.

Sure enough, the prompt sound came again, "First teleportation point, Green Stone Manor, Yes or No?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes." The spatial prompt sound came again, "First teleportation point, Green Stone Manor, confirmed. Do you want to set up a second teleportation point?" As soon as this prompt ended, a green dot appeared at the Green Stone Manor.

Zhao Hai quickly said, "Yes, set it at Iron Mountain Castle." Zhao Hai wanted to test if he could control the screen with his voice.

It worked. Zhao Hai could control the screen with his voice. As soon as he finished speaking, a green dot appeared at Iron Mountain Castle, flashing. Then the spatial prompt sound came again, "Second teleportation point, Iron Mountain Castle, Yes or No?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes." The green dot at Iron Mountain Castle stopped flashing. The spatial prompt sound came again, "Second teleportation point, Iron Mountain Castle, confirmed. Do you want to set up a third teleportation point?"

Zhao Hai stared at the screen for a while and then shook his head, "No." The prompt sound disappeared.

The screen returned to the desktop. Zhao Hai pressed the "1" button again, and the screen showed a 3D map of the Rocky Mountains, centered on the point where he entered the space, with a radius of 500 meters, almost covering the entire Rocky Mountains.

Zhao Hai's finger moved on the screen, first tapping the courtyard of the manor. The image of the courtyard immediately appeared, followed by a series of clinking sounds. Zhao Hai was surprised, looking around but finding nothing that could make a sound. Suddenly, he focused on the screen, where they were smashing rocks. As they started, the clinking sounds came.

Zhao Hai's face lit up. The surveillance system used to have no sound, but now it did, which was a pleasant surprise.

Zhao Hai then pressed the "2" button, and the screen switched to the castle, showing a wider area than before. Originally, he could only see a bit of the inner castle, but now he could see outside the castle as well.

Zhao Hai let out a joyful cheer and pressed the "OK" button. The spatial prompt sound came again, "Do you want to switch to the second teleportation point, Yes or No?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes." He eagerly put down the remote control, took the staff, and stood up. With a thought, he left the space.

Outside the space, Zhao Hai looked around and found himself back at Iron Mountain Castle, standing in his bedroom.

Zhao Hai let out a joyful cheer, ran to the window, and pushed it open to look outside. The scenery of the castle was in full view. Although it was still covered in black soil, it now seemed charming.

Zhao Hai leaned on the window and laughed heartily. This new function of the space was truly amazing and powerful, allowing him to travel from the Rocky Mountains to Iron Mountain Castle in an instant.

After a while, Zhao Hai calmed down and, with a thought, returned to the space. He then said, "Switch to the first teleportation point." With another thought, he left the space and found himself standing in the bedroom of the Green Stone Manor. He hadn't entered the space from here but from inside the alien, and he had set the teleportation point at the Green Stone Manor, so the space arranged for him to exit in his bedroom.

Zhao Hai listened to the clinking sounds coming from outside, suppressing his joy, and entered the space again. Zhao Hai knew it was time to open the ranch.
