Then, these grids began to separate independently, and then recombine in a mysterious way, forming the prototypes of room entrances, each exuding a different atmosphere.
After doing all this, Zhou Ye extended his right hand, palm up.
All anyone saw was a slight ripple in the space in front of him, and an antique-looking calligraphy brush suddenly appeared in his hand, as if he had casually taken it from another unseen world.
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yotsuya Miko stared wide-eyed. Was this the boss's method? Making things out of thin air? No, it felt more like... creation!
Zhou Ye held a paintbrush, his gaze falling on the nascent "House of Time and Spirit".
With a slight flick of his wrist, the pen tip sketched in the air.
There was no paint, yet a strange, radiant energy flowed with his brushstrokes.
A moment later, he personally drew twelve lifelike animal heads on a specific area of the giant Rubik's Cube, cleverly forming the pointer and scale of a unique timing device.
Rat, Ox, Tiger... Pig, each one is full of charm, as if it has been given life.
Zhou Ye nodded, holding the pen in his right hand, and continued to sketch on the time device composed of the twelve zodiac animals.
It's half past two in the afternoon.
As he spoke, he wielded his brush in the air, blue energy threads extending with the movement of the brush tip.
I've fixed the ratio of one hour outside to twenty-four hours inside for now. That's it for now. Once any loopholes are fixed, I'll change it to one day outside to one year inside.
With a light touch of the pen tip, the twelve zodiac animal heads instantly lit up with a faint glow.
The Rat's eyes flickered, followed by the Ox, then the Tiger...
Each zodiac animal flashes in turn, finally settling on the position of the Goat.
The initial internal time anchoring has been completed.
Rias swallowed nervously.
Is it really possible? A time difference of 1 to 24?
rest assured.
Zhou Ye put away his paintbrush, which instantly disappeared into the imaginary space.
Theoretically, I can achieve a ratio of 1:100, but considering your physical capabilities and the possibility of bugs, 1:24 is currently the safest ratio.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire giant fluid cube assembly began to shrink rapidly.
The enormous object that had been floating in mid-air shrank in the blink of an eye into an exquisite blue cube box, which gently landed in Zhou Ye's palm.
Is this the "House of Time and Spirit"?
Zhu Nai's purple pupils were filled with disbelief.
It looks...so small.
Zhou Ye smiled calmly.
Size is just a superficial appearance.
He gently tossed the blue cube in his hand, and the small box spun once in the air before landing steadily on the ground.
With a soft thud, the blue cube instantly expanded, transforming into a square building roughly two stories high, its surface shimmering with a dreamlike blue light...
A rustic wooden door appears on the front of the building, and above the lintel is a time display made up of the twelve zodiac animals.
Should we go in and give it a try?
Zhou Ye looked at Rias.
Without saying a word, Rias strode towards the door.
She reached out and pushed open the wooden door, and a breath of fresh air rushed in.
Stepping inside, she found herself standing in a spacious hall with multiple passageways around her, each entrance marked with a different scene name.
Ocean training ground, desert trial ground, hot spring rest area, snow mountain extreme training ground, mountain combat field, academy simulation field, and urban battlefield.
Amazing!
Rias's voice came from inside, filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Ye! Come in quickly! There are really seven different scenes in here! And each one looks so realistic!
Others also eagerly flocked into the House of Time and Spirit.
Upon entering, everyone was stunned.
The space inside is more than ten times larger than it appears from the outside, which completely defies the common sense of physics.
Nami walked to the entrance of the ocean training ground. Through the transparent barrier, she could see that there was indeed a vast ocean inside, with rolling waves and seagulls flying.
Boss, are these scenes real?
of course it's true.
Zhou Ye walked to the center of the hall and pointed to the huge time display above his head.
At this moment, the position of the Goat is emitting a soft light, while the other zodiac signs are dim.
Three minutes have passed in the outside world, but our time display shows that one hour and twelve minutes have passed.
Rias was so excited she almost jumped up.
It's a success! 5.3! It's really a success!
She turned and ran towards the desert training ground.
I'm going to start training now! I'm going to perfect my destructive power!
and many more.
Zhou Ye called out to her.
They wanted to familiarize themselves with the environment first before rushing into high-intensity training.
He looked at the others.
You can all choose a suitable setting to cultivate in. But remember, everything inside is real, including the dangers.
Zhu Nai nodded thoughtfully.
Ye, when are we going out?
The time ratio is 1 to 24, meaning that for every day that happens outside, 24 days happen here.
Zhou Ye explained that, considering the physical strain, it is recommended that each visit not exceed three days outside, which is equivalent to seventy-two days here.
Rias couldn't wait any longer.
I'm off to the desert training grounds now!
She rushed towards the entrance to the desert training grounds without looking back.
Chapter 113
Rias's figure flashed like a red lightning bolt, rushing directly into the entrance marked "Desert Trial Grounds".
Step in.
boom--!
A wave of scorching heat, almost enough to bake a person dry, rushed towards them.
Rias felt as if the blood in her body was about to boil.
Before us stretched an endless expanse of golden sand.
The massive sand dunes stretched endlessly, reflecting a dizzying light under the blinding "sun" overhead.
The air was terribly dry; every breath felt like a burning sensation, as if you were inhaling scalding sparks instead of air.
Rias instinctively raised her hand to shield her forehead, squinting as she adjusted to the sudden intense sunlight and high temperature.
She could feel a stinging sensation on her skin, a direct reaction to the intense heat.
"This……"
Rias's red lips parted slightly as she gazed absently at the boundless desert.
She slowly reached out her hand, her fair fingers hesitated for a moment, and then gently pressed them onto the sand beneath her feet.
"hiss!"
The scalding heat from her fingertips made her abruptly pull her hand back.
The sand was incredibly hot.
As if exposed to the scorching midday sun for days, every grain of sand contains astonishing heat.
She looked down at her slightly reddened fingertips. Both the physical sensations and the visual impact clearly told her one fact.
This is the desert.
A real desert that is scorching hot, dry, and boundless!
"Amazing……"
Rias couldn't help but murmur softly, her beautiful red eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
She never expected that the "House of Time and Spirit" that Zhou Ye mentioned could achieve such a level of functionality.
This is no longer a simple scene simulation; it's practically creating a real miniature world!
“That’s really amazing!”
Rias's voice suddenly rose, filled with barely suppressed excitement and agitation.
She felt the scorching heat of the desert and the chilling atmosphere, and her fighting spirit was ignited like a flame, burning ever brighter!
right here!
This is exactly the kind of environment she needs!
A battlefield where she can unleash her destructive power without any restraint!
A trial ground that allows her to push herself to the limit and break through her own bottleneck!
Rias clenched her fists tightly, her long red hair swaying slightly in the hot wind, her eyes burning with an unprecedentedly fervent determination.
