Chapter 13: Castle of Black Iron
Translator: WQL Editor: Geoffrey
Zhang Tie faintly felt that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed as if he instantly exited a tunnel while on a train . At the same time, Zhang Tie also felt warmer . He could smell a much fresher air, a smell akin to the park after it rained . Zhang Tie couldn’t help but open his eyes . When he did, he was really shocked with his mouth opened widely, saliva dripping .
What was presented in front of Zhang Tie was a square, broad, and empty land . Standing in the middle of the piece of land, Zhang Tie noticed that this land was several times larger than the Seventh National Male Middle School . He roughly measured the length and width of the land with his eyes and found that they were both at least 700m . It felt extremely open; there were only a few things left on the land . It seemed like a barren land with only one bulge at the center of the land . There was also a small tree as tall as a person not far away from Zhang Tie .
With great curiosity, Zhang Tie looked at the small tree .
It was growing well with its spreading branches and luxuriant foliage . Each leaf seemed as if it was flowing with a special brilliance, which made the tree very conspicuous . What amazed Zhang Tie was that the leaves were in various shapes and colors, making each leaf distinct from one another . How weird! However, Zhang Tie also felt strangely harmonious with the leaves of varying shapes hanging on the tree . The tree was neither made of gold nor wood; it was a material that nobody knew of .
Colorful fog swirled above the tree in ever changing shapes . Staring at the tree for a while, Zhang Tie naturally felt a sense of tranquility and peace .
What he had earlier seen in the crystal egg several hours ago was fully present in front of his eyes — the strange tree and the colorful fog…
“Am I dreaming?”
Looking at himself, he was wearing the same clothes he wore before going to bed — he only wore shorts . Even his posture in bed was unchanged . Zhang Tie pinched his !@#$% and realized that he was not dreaming, thus he got up and stood on his bare feet . Where he sat was just ten steps away from the tree . He moved towards it and circled it twice . He didn’t know why, but he felt a sense of familiarity with the tree . He felt that he and the tree shared a blood-tie .
Being a relative to a strange tree, Zhang Tie was almost driven mad .
Circling it for quite some time, he couldn’t figure it out . He only felt that there was something strange about those colorful leaves . Thus, Zhang Tie decided to further explore the land . As the soil was fine and smooth with a proper temperature and contained no impurities, Zhang Tie felt like he was standing on soft and wet sand, so he began to run in his bare feet . Although the area only covered slightly more than 0 . 5 km2 and was limited in space, it was still enough for Zhang Tie to make a dash . He explored the surrounding environment and the edge of this space . He could see the rolling colorful fog from far away . There was a strange elasticity that pulled Zhang Tie back from the barrier; therefore, he was never able to break through it . More than 300m away from the small tree, Zhang Tie found a black deep mire that was larger than 200m2 . The mire was as black as ink, and it was still bubbling; however, there was no smell, which gave Zhang Tie goosebumps . After looking around, Zhang Tie found no other living being within this space besides himself, not even a single ant .
“Anybody here? Where am I?” . . .
“Can anyone tell me where I am?” . . .
“Anybody here?” . . .
Zhang Tie shouted yet got no reply, not even an echo . He spent another ten minutes to look around and finally ascertained that he really was the only living being here .
Therefore, Zhang Tie decided to start from the tree .
Circling the tree for a while, he felt increasingly intimate with it . Zhang Tie couldn’t help but touch the small tree that had splendid leaves . Touching it, Zhang Tie abruptly saw a semi-transparent pale blue dialog box that had a line in it and was startled .
——Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree
——The tree feels that energy is leaking from your body . With the leaking energy, you can produce Leakless Fruit . Do you want to produce it?
——Yes … No
There were two options below which Zhang Tie had never seen before . He was really stunned when he saw this . Moving his hands away, the dialog box disappeared; putting his hands on it, the dialog box re-appeared . He repeated this for many times and got the same response . Although he didn’t know what it was, he knew that it was definitely a great thing . . .
Although Zhang Tie didn’t know what energy was escaping from his body, he considered that the choice would do him no harm, thus he stretched out his hand and selected “Yes” . It was a strange feeling . Although there was nothing in front of Zhang Tie, when he pressed the option, he felt like he really pressed something ——
——Leakless Fruit in production, 168 hours away from maturation!
——Space management system template of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree is established!
——Please name It . Attention, the name is permanent!
——Space name:———————— (followed by a line of sparkling spots)
The moment the old dialog box disappeared, a new one appeared . Seeing the line of sparkling dots behind the name of the space, Zhang Tie was stunned for a while . He then figured it out and replied — Castle of Black Iron!
After That, the four words appeared on the sparkling light spots . This also shocked Zhang Tie .
——Name of space: Castle of Black Iron!
——Enter … Back
Zhang Tie pressed the “Enter” button . Then, the old dialog box disappeared and a new one appeared .
——What do you want the system to call you?
——Your Name:————————(followed by a line of sparkling light spots)
Zhang Tie then naturally knew what to do next . After a while, he figured that nobody would even know . Even though he was a little arrogant, no matter what, he was not afraid of being called sick; therefore, he set his name — Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord!
“It should be ok, nobody would know!” Zhang Tie thought to himself faintly . Finally, he made a decision and pressed “Enter” . . .
——Castle of Black Iron and the Lord of Castle of Black Iron confirmed!
——Preliminary management system template of Castle of Black Iron has been established!
When the dialog box disappeared, Zhang Tie’s eyes turned bright once again . A semi-transparent pale blue icon, marked with a small tree in the center and “Castle of Black Iron” below the small tree, appeared in the upper left corner of Zhang Tie’s vision and started to sparkle . Becoming braver and braver, Zhang Tie touched the icon with his hand, and as a result, the icon instantly expanded in front of Zhang Tie while several lines of words appeared on the branch of the tree and became a tree-like menu .
