Before entering the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie carefully checked the cabin and closed the windows and the entrance of the staircase. After that, he prepared to enter the Castle of Black Iron once again. After all, this experience was too special. Zhang Tie was not sure whether there would be any strange sound and light effects each time he entered the Castle of Black Iron. Besides shock and surprise, Zhang Tie also felt the stress from carrying this secret. Therefore, it was always better to be careful.
After checking it, Zhang Tie always felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking for a while, he patted his head and murmured, "How could I forget such an important thing!" After saying this, Zhang Tie put down the stairs of the attic and went downstairs. He came to the courtyard near the kitchen. On the wall of the courtyard hung two bunches of dried corn cobs. Zhang Tie took one of them. After thinking for a while, he went to a corner of the kitchen and took out two sprouted potatoes from a pocket. After that, he went back upstairs and returned to the attic. In the utility room beside the attic, Zhang Tie found the two pieces of pyrite that had been thrown aside and a 1 m long waste steel bar. Finally, he took out a dagger gifted by his elder brother from the drawer at the head of the bed. After putting all these things on his body, Zhang Tie closed his eyes and started to sense the arched door in his mind.
Not knowing whether it was because he had already used it twice, the process of sensing the door became faster. In less than 20 seconds, the moment Zhang Tie closed his eyes and slowed his breath, the door in his mind had already clearly appeared in front of him.
"Go in!" Zhang Tie thought inside. Then, he felt the light in the surrounding space slightly shaking. When Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he was already standing in that strange space.
— — Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, welcome to the Castle of Black Iron!
The familiar system dialog box appeared in front of Zhang Tie once again. After a few seconds, it disappeared.
"Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord" and "arrival", these two words are really f * cking good! " Zhang Tie thought proudly. He then hurriedly checked his "equipment".
The steel bar in his right hand was still there, the dagger in his waist was still there, the potatoes and corncobs in his left hand were still there, and the two pieces of pyrite in his pocket were still there. At this moment, if someone saw Zhang Tie's weird look, they would definitely think that he was sick. Never would they imagine that Zhang Tie was actually ecstatic at this moment.
Zhang Tie really sprung up from the ground as he exclaimed twice out of excitement, 'That's great! I could really bring things from the outside world into the Castle of Black Iron. Even though I haven't discovered the other functions of the Castle of Black Iron for the time being, this function alone is enough for Zhang Tie to be excited for a long time. What does it mean? It means that from now on, Zhang Tie would have a portable warehouse that nobody else could discover. Although he didn't know how to use this function now, he was sure that it would play a big role in the future.
"I'm rich, I'm rich …" Zhang Tie paced around the same place for a few times before gradually recovering his composure. He then sorted out his thoughts. Now that the first function of the Castle of Black Iron had been confirmed, it was time to test its other functions. Thinking of this, Zhang Tie threw away the iron bar and the potatoes in his hands and took out the two pieces of pyrite and threw them on the ground. Finally, he took out the dagger. After taking out these things, Zhang Tie squatted down and started to pick off the corn cobs one by one with two hands. There were more than 200 corn cobs on the corn cob, which could almost fill half of his trouser pocket. After that, Zhang Tie threw away the naked corn cob and stood up with the steel bar in his hand, looking around.
The space in front of Zhang Tie was exactly the same as when he came yesterday, including the rolling colorful clouds, the strange small tree in the center of the space, and the black swamp. Nothing had changed at all.
After walking around this extremely spacious land, Zhang Tie finally chose a place and fiercely inserted the sharp end of the steel bar into the soil under his feet.
With a 'puff' sound, the front end of the steel bar, which was more than 20 cm long, was completely inserted into the soil under his feet.
'Oh, it's a bit deep. I remember that the teacher at school said that only 10 cm was needed.' Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Tie scratched his head and pulled the steel bar out of the soil. Given the quality of the soil, the moisture of the soil under this land could be guaranteed. Zhang Tie became more confident.
Once again, he inserted the steel bar into the ground. With a "Pu" sound, it penetrated more than ten centimeters into the ground. "Almost there," Zhang Tie muttered to himself. He then pulled out the steel bar once again, leaving a shallow hole in the ground. He then took out a dried corn from his trouser pocket and put it into the hole. After that, he covered the hole with his hand. Finally, the corn seed was planted. This was the simplest way to plant corn. Zhang Tie's heart was filled with joy. Since he had succeeded the first time, it would be easier for him to do the rest. Zhang Tie imitated Zhang Tie and poked the steel bar into the soil, leaving a small hole. After that, he put a corn cob into the hole and covered the hole with soil. The distance between each hole was about 50 cm.
With a 'puff' sound, a seed was buried...
With a 'puff' sound, a seed was buried...
With a 'puff' sound, a seed was buried...
With a 'puff' sound, a seed was buried...
In more than ten minutes, Zhang Tie had already planted all the corn cobs in his trouser pocket in seven or eight rows, crookedly and disorderly. After planting the corns, Zhang Tie continued to work hard. He ran back to where he had left the pile of things, pulled out his dagger, and cut the two sprouted potatoes into five or six pieces. He then returned to the place where he had planted the corns. Beside the corns, he dug a pit with his dagger like a dog before burying a piece of potato into it. After that, he did the same with the rest of the potatoes. After doing all this, Zhang Tie patted the dust off his hands and stood up. After giggling for a while, he inserted the steel bar into the side of the corns and potatoes that he had "cultivated" as if he had made a mark.
On the left side of the steel bar were the corn cobs, and on the right side were the potatoes. Whether they could grow out or not depended on God's will.
After completing the second task in the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie was in a good mood. After sorting out his belongings, Zhang Tie walked towards the side of the swamp which was constantly emitting black bubbles. Zhang Tie had already thought it through, 'Nothing in this space is useless. That black swamp must have its own function.'
This time, Zhang Tie was much closer to the black quagmire than when he had come here for the first time. He didn't stop until he reached the edge of the quagmire. Of course, Zhang Tie was not an idiot. He didn't directly put his hand into the quagmire. This place gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. Zhang Tie knew that if he touched it, the result would be extremely miserable.
After circling around the edge of this strange black swamp twice, Zhang Tie still couldn't figure out its usage. Finally, his eyes brightened as he suddenly thought of a method. Although he didn't know whether it was right or not, he still needed to verify it. Therefore, he ran to the place where he had left the two pieces of pyrite. Holding them in his hand, he ran back. When he was about ten meters away from that place, he waved his hand and threw a piece of pyrite into the black swamp. The moment the pyrite entered the black bog, Zhang Tie hurriedly opened the management panel of the Castle of Black Iron and clicked on the basic attributes of the Castle of Black Iron in the menu bar to check it.
— — Castle of Black Iron
— — Length: 1 Krosa
— — Width: 1 Krosa
— — Aura Value: 0
— — Merit Value: 1
— — Basic Energy Storage: 0
— — Special Output: None
Merit Value: 1? Strange, where did the merit value come from? Zhang Tie was a bit confused. However, before he could respond, he saw the "0" behind "Basic Energy Storage" suddenly jump and turn into "0.1". When this number changed from "0" to "0.1", the color of the words on the entry "Basic Energy Storage" also became vivid. The words changed from light black to blue.
— — Basic Energy Storage: 0.1 (Blue)
This raised entry box reminded Zhang Tie of the "Confirm Button" in the system. Therefore, Zhang Tie pressed the "Basic Energy Storage" entry box, causing a translucent log window to appear in front of Zhang Tie. There were two entries in the log dialog box. One was placed in the middle of the log window.
Zhang Tie's mom opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She doubted whether there was something wrong with her eyes. Right then, Zhang Tie walked downstairs with a bucket of water and a mop. The couple immediately understood what had happened.
"Son, did you do all this?" Zhang Tie's dad stared at Zhang Tie as if he was an alien.
"Yes!" Zhang Tie smiled as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.
"Son, are you stimulated by something? Don't scare me." His mom stretched out her hand and touched Zhang Tie's head. Although Zhang Tie sometimes helped them with housework, he had never been so proactive and diligent.
Hearing his mom's words, Zhang Tie felt both moved and ashamed. "Dad, mom, I'm fine. I'm free tonight, so I wanted to give you a surprise. Are you happy?"
A surprise from their son? After exchanging glances with each other, Zhang Tie's dad and mom let out a sigh. They both revealed a smile and nodded, saying at the same time, "Happy!"
Zhang Tie also smiled as he felt pretty satisfied...
When he was sleeping alone in his room, Zhang Tie entered the Castle of Black Iron once again and threw the remaining pyrite into the Pool of Chaos. After destroying the last evidence of the Castle of Black Iron in this world, Zhang Tie opened the Basic Attributes Panel of the Castle of Black Iron.
— — Castle of Black Iron
— — Length: 1 Krosa
— — Width: 1 Krosa
— — Aura Value: 0
— — Merit Value: 2
— — Basic Energy Storage: 0.2
— — Special Output: None
As expected, the Basic Energy Storage increased by "0.1". After opening the log box of Merit Value, Zhang Tie saw a new log.
— — On the evening of May 13, 889th year of the Black Iron Calendar, the Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord cleaned his home once again. Making his parents happy, he gained 1 Merit Value.
