Chapter 307: The Manor Design

The scenery in front of his eyes rapidly retreated, bringing him a strange sense of fluctuation. It was different from the feeling he had when riding a motorcycle at high speed in the past. It was more like the distance was becoming distorted because some kind of spatial manipulation was involved.

On the contrary, precisely because supernatural senses were so sharp, the reaction would be even more obvious.

But Joo Joowon’s expression remained calm. His soul had traveled back and forth through that special land more than once or twice, and his body had also undergone some changes along with it, so naturally, he would not feel uncomfortable because of this.

Seeing this, Seong Seungmin no longer conducted any further tests and directly climbed up the mountain.

After Joo Joowon went down, Seong Seungmin tapped his glasses, and a screen that looked almost solid immediately appeared in the air. As his thoughts moved, a design was quickly outlined on it.

"Boss, what do you think? Would this design work?"

Joo Joowon looked at it. It was a Lord’s Manor designed in a style somewhat similar to a manor estate. Its area was not small. Although it did not cover the entire mountain, it still extended all the way to the halfway point of the mountain.

Beside the house was a retractable observatory platform that could be raised and lowered, allowing him to go there directly from the bedroom. On the other side of the house, the tip of the tower was an energy source connected to the protective network surrounding the entire Lord’s Manor. Some of the plants on the mountaintop had been preserved, while the Lord Core had been placed inside a secret chamber.

"Change it," Joo Joowon said. "Hollow out the underground area and put the core underground. Add a few controllable laser lights on the observatory side, and put a few retractable and rotating elastic strings on the other side."

Seong Seungmin: "...Boss, what are those additions for?"

Making changes to the design was nothing unusual for Seong Seungmin, but these meaningless modifications still left him somewhat confused. The underground area could still be understood, but what were the latter two things supposed to do?

Joo Joowon: "Play with cats."

Seong Seungmin: "???"

Joo Joowon did not think there was anything wrong with this. Even Byeol, who was usually quite reserved, would occasionally be attracted by the movement of a laser pointer. With their physical abilities now, ordinary laser pointers and cat teaser wands would definitely no longer have the same effect as they did in the past. Naturally, their range of activity would have to be expanded somewhat to arouse their interest in playing.

The Lord’s Manor was a place where he would need to live for a very long time, so of course he had to design it according to his own preferences. There could be no ambiguity about this at all.

Seong Seungmin could not help falling silent for a moment. When building a Lord’s Manor, was the first thing that should be considered not defense? Even if that was not taken into consideration, one should at least consider whether expanding the territory would be troublesome, or whether the surrounding area was safe and stable.

Very few Lords would think about entertainment when they had just started building their Lord’s Manor.

Was he simply too confident, or did he not understand?

Seeing that Joo Joowon had already made up his mind, Seong Seungmin did not say anything more.

"Then I will build a plaza here to make it more convenient for running around."

As he spoke, he made some changes to the blueprint, quickly modifying the layout. Then he asked tentatively, "Boss, I have a barracks blueprint here. Do you think you need me to add it?"

"No need," Joo Joowon said. "When you are building underground, communicate with Gaemi."

"Gaemi?"

"That ant."

Noticing Joo Joowon’s lowered eyebrows and eyes, as if he were becoming somewhat impatient, Seong Seungmin’s heart tightened.

"Boss, don’t worry. I’ll start construction right now."

Joo Joowon gave a soft hum, silently holding Byeol in his arms as he turned around and walked toward Gaemi.

At this distance, with their fortunes already connected to one another, it was enough for him to roughly observe the fluctuations in the other party’s fortune.

And right now, his forehead was darkened, with dark clouds hanging over his head. Under such circumstances, Joo Joowon felt that it would be better to stay as far away from him as possible.

Seong Seungmin did not think too much about it either. Not every Lord liked to act as a construction supervisor.

He directly took a spherical object out of his spatial storage. The moment the sphere landed on the ground, it immediately transformed into a huge piece of machinery. Nano-bugs were constantly being produced from it, quickly burrowing into the mountain.

Speaking of which, this construction tool was quite lucky. Hee had fought so fiercely against the Interstellar Pirates, and many things had been lost because of it, yet this one had luckily been preserved. Otherwise, he would have had to open a teleportation channel and have the system mail the tool over, and he might even have had to do the work himself.

It could be said that he did have many part-time jobs, but he really did not like doing this kind of physical labor.

He could only say that fortunately nothing had happened. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to spend that much on the teleportation fee either.

After extracting the building materials from the system, Seong Seungmin was just about to find somewhere to rest and run the disassembler at maximum power to analyze the world’s information. However, before he could even take action, she suddenly heard the construction tool make a clicking sound indicating that it was malfunctioning.

An ominous feeling immediately arose in Seong Seungmin’s heart.

"Chip, scan."

[ Scanning in progress... Scan complete... Terminal controller damage: 60%, raw materials lost: 45%, production line damage: 25%, repair device missing. ]

Seong Seungmin: "..."
