Report

In front of Zhang Tie was a square, vast, and flat land. Standing in the middle of the land, Zhang Tie found that the length and width of this land were many times larger than that of the Seventh National School of Blackhot City. Standing in the middle, Zhang Tie estimated that the length and width of this land were all more than 700 m, making it extremely spacious. There weren't many things on this land, making it look like a barren land. The only protruding object was a small tree as high as a person in the middle of the land not far from Zhang Tie. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the surroundings.

With a strong sense of curiosity, Zhang Tie started to look at that small tree.

The small tree grew luxuriantly. Each leaf seemed to be flowing with a special luster. Therefore, it was very eye-catching. What amazed Zhang Tie was that the leaves of the small tree had different shapes and colors. Basically, none of the leaves were the same, which made Zhang Tie feel very strange. Although it felt strange, watching the leaves of different shapes hanging on the small tree, Zhang Tie felt an inexplicable harmony. It seemed that the small tree was perfect. However, the material of the small tree was neither gold nor wood. Zhang Tie didn't know what it was made of.

In the sky and the surroundings of this space, strands of colorful fog were constantly twisting and changing into various shapes. Only by looking at those changing shapes for a short while would Zhang Tie feel refreshed and tranquil.

The scene that he had seen in the crystal egg several hours ago was now completely presented in front of him — that strange small tree, that colorful fog...

Was this a dream?

Zhang Tie looked at himself and found that he was still in the clothes that he had worn to sleep. He only wore a pair of underpants. Even his sitting posture on the bed was the same. Sitting on the ground, Zhang Tie forcefully pinched his little brother. Knowing that it was not a dream, he then stood up barefooted. He was sitting not far from the small tree, about ten steps away. Walking to the small tree that seemed to be flowing with brilliance, Zhang Tie circled around it twice. Not knowing why, Zhang Tie always felt a sense of warmth as if he was related to this strange small tree by blood.

Being related to a strange tree, Zhang Tie felt that he was going crazy.

After circling around the tree for a few times, Zhang Tie still didn't see anything special about it. He only felt that it was strange for each leaf of the tree to be different. Therefore, Zhang Tie decided to explore this place carefully. Because the soil here was fine, soft and had moderate humidity without any impurities, Zhang Tie felt like he was stepping on soft and wet sand. Therefore, Zhang Tie started to run in this small space which only covered a bit more than 0.5 square miles. After checking the surrounding environment, Zhang Tie could see the colorful mist rolling at the edge of this space from afar. The mist was strangely elastic, which prevented Zhang Tie from crossing it no matter how hard he tried. Less than 300 m away from this small tree, Zhang Tie found a black muddy pit on the ground, which covered over 200 square meters. The black muddy pit was as black as ink and was constantly rolling bubbles. However, it didn't have any smell at all. Zhang Tie felt that it was a bit strange. Zhang Tie felt a bit strange. After looking around, Zhang Tie found that he couldn't even find an ant in this space besides himself.

"Is there anyone here? Where is this place? "

"Who can tell me where this place is?"...

"Is there anyone here?"

Zhang Tie shouted several times, but nobody answered him, not even an echo. After looking around this space for more than ten minutes, Zhang Tie finally confirmed that he was the only living being here besides that tree.

Finally, Zhang Tie decided to learn about this strange place from that tree.

After circling around that tree for a few more times, Zhang Tie felt more and more familiar with it. Finally, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch that small tree whose leaves seemed to be flowing with brilliance. At the same time, a semi-transparent, pale blue dialog box appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes. A line of words appeared in the dialog box. Zhang Tie was startled by the thing that suddenly appeared in front of him.

— — Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree

— — The treasured tree sensed that the body energy of the one who has integrated with it is leaking. The leaking energy can be used to produce leakless fruits. Do you want to produce them?

— — Yes... No

There were two options below. Although Zhang Tie had not touched them before, he immediately understood what they meant. Zhang Tie was dumbfounded. After moving his hand away from that leaf, the dialog box disappeared. When he touched it, the dialog box reappeared. He tried it several times, but it was still the same. Although he didn't know what it was, Zhang Tie knew that it was definitely something...

Although Zhang Tie didn't know what kind of energy would leak out of his body, it seemed that this choice wouldn't do him any harm. Therefore, after several tries, Zhang Tie reached out his hand and selected "Yes" in the dialog box. It was a very strange feeling. Although there was nothing in front of him, when Zhang Tie pressed his hand on it, he really felt like touching something — —

— Leakless Fruit in the process of being produced. 168 hours to ripen!

— — Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree Space Management System Template has been created!

— — Please give this space a name. Warning, this space cannot be changed after being named!

— — Name of the space: ----- (followed by a row of flashing light spots)

The old dialog box disappeared and was replaced by a new one. Looking at the row of flashing light spots at the end of the space, Zhang Tie was dumbfounded for quite a while before he figured out what it meant. After thinking for a while, he finally said four words — — Castle of Black Iron!

The moment he finished speaking, four words appeared on the flashing light spots — — Castle of Black Iron. This situation made Zhang Tie dumbfounded once again.

— — Name of the space: Castle of Black Iron!

— — Confirm... Reselect

Zhang Tie reached out his hand and pressed the "Confirm" button. After pressing the button, the old dialog box disappeared and was replaced by a new one.

— — How do you want the system to call you?

— — Your honorific title is: ----- (followed by a row of flashing light spots)

With the experience just now, Zhang Tie already knew what to do. After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie decided to let this thing call him — — Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, since nobody else knew about it, it was okay for him to be a bit arrogant and not afraid of being called disgusting.

"It should be nothing. After all, nobody knows about it!" When pressing the "Confirm" button, Zhang Tie thought weakly. Finally, he made up his mind and pressed the "Confirm" button shamelessly.

— — Name of Castle of Black Iron confirmed. Everybody in Castle of Black Iron confirmed!

— — Primary management system template of Castle of Black Iron has been established!

After the dialog box disappeared, Zhang Tie's sight changed once again. A pale blue translucent icon with a small tree in the middle and the four words "Castle of Black Iron" below the small tree appeared in the upper left corner of Zhang Tie's vision and started to flash. Gradually becoming braver, Zhang Tie pressed on the icon, causing it to enlarge in front of Zhang Tie in an instant. At the same time, several lines of words appeared on the trunk of the icon and turned into a tree-mounted menu bar. There were four options inside.

— — Basic attributes of Castle of Black Iron

— — Creation of space and terrain

— — Biology and species management

— — Formation of special seeds and fruits of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree

Zhang Tie pressed on the first "Basic attributes of Castle of Black Iron" located at the root and trunk of the function tree. In a split second, a new data window opened.

Castle of Black Iron.

— — Length: 1 Krosa

— — Width: 1 Krosa

— — Aura value: 0

— — Merit value: 0

— — Basic energy storage: 0

— — Special output: None

— — Length unit — — 1 Krosa? What was that? How long was it? Zhang Tie had heard of millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter, kilometer, even sound second and light second. But what was "Krosa"? Was there such a length unit? Since Zhang Tie couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was just a unit of measurement. Zhang Tie glanced at the other basic attributes and let out a long sigh.

Although the data was not good, Zhang Tie was spirited as he felt like he was starting from scratch. Although he didn't understand the contents of the dialog box, Zhang Tie still pressed the other button "Space and Terrain Creation". Unexpectedly, he saw such a sentence after pressing it.

— — As the three storage values of Castle of Black Iron are 0, the function of space and terrain creation cannot be used!

Clicking on the next option "Biology and species management", a new window opened.

— — Carbon-based biology and species management

— — Silicon-based biology and species management

— — Sulfur-based biology and species management

— — Other biology and species management

This time, except for the first button "Carbon-based biology and species management", all the other buttons were greyish white. When Zhang Tie pressed the first button, a log dialog box popped out, containing two messages.

— — If system resources are invested in a certain biological population or a certain living being, it is possible for the species or living being to mutate and evolve unexpectedly.

— — The system has detected the carbon-based microorganisms carried by the Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord when he entered the Castle of Black Iron. The microorganism system of the Castle of Black Iron has been opened.

After the dialog box disappeared, three new tabs appeared in front of Zhang Tie.

Among the three sub-tabs of animal, plant, and microorganism, only the button of microorganism was available.

Zhang Tie then clicked on the microorganism tab.

Next, on the option "microorganism", he saw the microorganisms that he had "carried" into the Castle of Black Iron. They were bacteria and yeasts. Everyone had bacteria more or less, so it was not strange for them to have different functions. As for the yeasts, they were probably brought by him when he brewed rice wine at home. He remembered that he had eaten three bowls of rice wine downstairs, so he might have been contaminated with some of them unconsciously. After that, these things followed him into the Castle of Black Iron.

Zhang Tie then clicked on the enlarged yeasts that looked like water droplets, and a new picture appeared.

On the left side of the yeasts icon, there was a red cross. Below this icon, the system showed three pull-down buttons similar to progress bars, which corresponded to the three basic attributes — — aura value, merit value, and basic energy.

As it did not look complicated, Zhang Tie only glanced at it and roughly understood its meaning. The three pull-down buttons seemed to represent the system resources that he was willing to invest in this living being. As long as he was willing to invest resources, the living being or species that he had selected would have a chance to evolve and mutate.

Zhang Tie then clicked on the red cross beside the yeasts icon!

— — Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, have you decided to use the space rule to erase the existence of this living being? Warning, once it was erased, it could not be resurrected.

— — Yes... Cancel...

Zhang Tie was startled by these cold words and hurriedly clicked "Cancel". He decided to use this function less in the future.

It seemed interesting. After closing this window, Zhang Tie tried it again. The function "Special Seeds and Fruits of the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree" was not activated at this moment.

This Castle of Black Iron seemed to be full of secrets. When Zhang Tie prepared to study it carefully, a dialog box of the system appeared in front of his eyes.

— — The system has detected that Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord's spiritual energy and physical strength have almost been overdrawn. Various body functions have started to enter a negative state. As the system's aura value is zero, it is unable to provide a good environment for recovery. The system suggests Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord to leave the Castle of Black Iron and enter it again after recovering his energy.

At the same time, the special "door" in his mind also slightly emitted a wave, letting Zhang Tie know that if he wanted to leave, he only needed to lock that "door" with his consciousness and say "go back" in his mind...

After being reminded, Zhang Tie suddenly found that he was already very sleepy. After such a long day, his mood had fluctuated greatly, which was very exhausting. Letting out a big yawn, Zhang Tie thought for a while and forcefully resisted the urge to continue exploring here. After locking that door in his mind, he said "go back" in his mind. Then, he felt like passing through a tunnel in an instant. Even though Zhang Tie had widened his eyes, he still didn't know how he had come out. He only felt that the arched door in his mind shook once before he stood on his bed in his room. The surrounding scenery had completely changed. Everything that had just happened seemed like it had never happened. He had returned to where he had come from. This feeling was like when you were taking a family photo in a photo studio and the photographer pulled a line on the wall behind him and changed the background.

That was too f * cking amazing!
