What treasure chest monster? Call me the Mysterious Merchant!

The alchemy workshop looked like a matchbox, with no support whatsoever.

But in reality, even if it is damaged by external forces such as an explosion, it is extremely stable.

"Forget it, let's respect Newton's decision."

Fang Qi thought for a moment, then pretended to replace the bricks with wooden blocks to build beams and pillars, and even added doors and windows.

This time everything is there, and it looks much better.

"I'll allocate you 200 square meters for now, I still need the rest, is that enough?"

The method of building a house by "getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later" left Luo Xi stunned. She murmured, "It's enough, but... will this really work?"

Fang Qi was too lazy to explain and simply clicked "confirm".

A prompt box pops up in the trading terminal.

[Asset Index has been used to replace Magic consumption. 11100 Index points are required. Click to view the bill.]

"Why is this so expensive? I need to check the bill!"

【Building Boundaries Blog】

Operation cost:

The area is divided into 100 points per instance, and can be used once.

The basic materials (soil/stone/wood) are modified at 10 points per cubic meter, totaling 260 cubic meters.

The special material (iridescent crystal branch) is modified at 100 points per cubic meter, totaling 84 cubic meters.

The total consumption index is 11100 points.

"Screen is so expensive!" Fang Qi gasped as he looked at the screens that he had laid out on one wall for the sake of grandeur.

Halve it! We must halve it immediately!

Shave off the edge of the screen, re-mount it in the center of the wall, then halve the thickness of the wall, and click OK again.

[Requires an index of 5700 points. Confirm?]

"confirm."

It's still expensive, but it's a necessary expense, and we can't cut back on it at all.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; you need to take care of your household affairs first before you can focus on finding good food.

Luo Xi was thrown to the second floor, and before she could react, the pure white walls around her suddenly changed.

A milky white light slowly spread from the point where the person was standing.

The light rippled across the ground like water, and the solid wood flooring was laid out on top.

As the light slid across the wall, the initially dazzling white quickly transformed into a heavy, dark gray.

A logic board was perfectly embedded inside, and it was about the same size as the one she had seen in the academy's collection.

The light finally swept across the roof and converged towards the center, instantly completing the details of the beams, slabs, columns, and other elements.

Rose stared wide-eyed, held her breath, and her jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

"Wow! Ancient...ancient technology has worked again!!" she stammered, touching and looking around as she spoke.

"This feel, this material... Could it be that my ancestral empty treasure chest is actually ancient technology? I'm rich! I'm rich!"

"What ancient technology? This is otherworldly technology..." Fang Qi thought to himself, not wanting to interrupt the little dragon girl's get-rich-quick dream, so he let her be.

Consciousness returned to the [Building Boundaries] editing interface and began to operate.

Compared to the "pragmatic" minimalist style of the second floor, the first floor is the face of the place where we will receive the indigenous people and players in the future, so we can't be careless.

"As for the style... since it's the base of a mysterious merchant, it has to have some class."

Speaking of style, Fang Qi recalled the painful games he had played in his previous life.

That profound sense of epic scale is a devastating blow to the native inhabitants of another world.

When fellow players from the same hometown come to visit, it feels especially warm and welcoming, doesn't it?

But we can't just copy it verbatim; the style needs to be changed.

Otherwise, if it's all dark and gloomy, people might think they've entered a shady shop!

Fang Qi was struck by inspiration and manipulated the pixel blocks with his mind, stacking them up in a flurry.

In a short while, a huge circular corridor structure was completed.

In the very center of the hall, Fang Qi had specially erected a circular "altar".

"What should I put in the middle..." Fang Qi hesitated. According to the original design, a spiral sword or a blessing point should be placed here.

However, they are not very auspicious for accumulating wealth.

"I've got it!" With a sudden inspiration, he quickly stacked blocks to create a transparent pillar, just like the exhibition stand, and threw the "Authentic History" onto it.

In an instant, a soft halo of light spread outwards from the book in all directions, like a dream.

"This is my campfire." Fang Qi nodded in satisfaction, and the screen displayed: (‵▽′)/

"Once I open the entrance, players will gather here to enter the dungeon and raid. It will be much more ceremonial."

The walls and floors are not yet decorated, mainly because there are only the most basic building materials available. There isn't even a piece of marble, so it looks tacky and lacks sophistication.

It would be better to keep it pure white; it looks more futuristic.

On the walls of the circular corridor, he built a row of archways as the future storefronts.

The interior was empty and very shabby.

But in Fang Qi's eyes, this was clearly the future blacksmith shop, magic shop, and scroll merchant...

"The first one on the left is for the blacksmith Paru we'll capture later, and the one on the right has good feng shui, so I'll keep it for selling my own alchemy products..."

Fang Qi planned as he went, filling in the details as he went.

[Special spatial design elements are created at a rate of 50 points per cubic meter, totaling 100 cubic meters.]

[The basic special rules for sound insulation, temperature control, ventilation, and lighting are written in one by one, totaling 4000 points.]

"Hold on, this is a fixed asset investment, it's our business!" He looked at the rapidly rising bills, his heart aching as the container twitched.

Finally, there's the lighting.

Although the stomach area already has a warm white glow, it's not cool enough!

Fang Qi then randomly selected some blocks from the ceiling and replaced them with "Rainbow Crystal Branch" blocks.

The previously added "lighting" rules came in handy, and in an instant, a simulated, dazzling starry sky appeared before our eyes.

The tiny crystals, like stars, emit varying degrees of light, which, far from being dazzling, add a touch of mystery to the circular corridor.

[Total points consumed in this boundary construction: 11500.]

Fang Qi pressed "OK" with a pained expression.

This is already the most cost-effective renovation plan, and there's not much room for further reduction.

As the light faded, the new space was fully formed, just like the preview image, familiar yet mysterious.

As Fang Qi watched the changes in the space inside his stomach, the pain vanished instantly.

"Perfect! From now on, let's call this place the Circular Corridor!"

This place may look rudimentary now, but in the future, it will undoubtedly become the center of global commodity trading.

Fang Qi already has a preliminary plan, and soon he will be able to deploy the first "teleportation trap".

As for what comes after that...

The treasure chest merchant's "traps" will surely be spread all over the world!

……

Fang Qi had a lucid dream.

In his dream, he became Roxi and came to an archipelago floating in the clouds.

There are many dragons there... playing cards?

They huddled together, some lying down, some sitting, and the only thing they had in common was that they were all holding a stack of cards in their dragon claws.

The contents of the cards were illegible, but their leisurely demeanor as they fought in pairs and occasionally let out a howl suggested that these dragons were living a very comfortable life.

The scene shifts to a misty island in the distance.

This appears to be a rest area, with a beautiful environment and huge nests built on it.

The dragons lay among the gold coins, fast asleep.

Fang Qi was extremely envious and was just about to try to get closer to count how many gold coins were under the dragon's body, to see if there were any treasures...

Suddenly, I woke up, and the scene cut off.
