Reborn With A Technology System In A Fantasy World-Chapter 67: Infinite Domain

With only an hour left, Adrian dove back into the task, his hands moving with purpose.

He etched the remaining Thermic Runes onto the core, calibrated the mana regulator, and began assembling the Pyralis heating element.

The process was complex but Adrian worked as fast as he could, but eventually, time still caught up to him.

Access Time Remaining: [00:00:10]

With just ten seconds left on the clock, the heater was only three-quarters complete. Adrian sighed, stepping back.

"I’ll finish it next session," he told himself, already looking forward to the three-hour window his recent upgrade promised.

As the white light enveloped him, he reappeared in his dorm room. Checking the System, he confirmed the cooldown:

System Factory Cooldown: [01:59:59].

"Still two hours," he muttered, grateful the upgrade hadn’t extended the wait. With time to kill, his mind wandered to the Mana Grenade.

He itched to test its explosive power, though he knew that wasn’t possible here in the Academy. While he could calculate its damage, seeing it in action would be far more satisfying.

"Maybe later," he sighed, glancing around the quiet room. Karl’s bed remained empty.

With no urgent tasks, Adrian sat cross-legged on his bed. "Might as well cultivate."

"Tech Core, remind me when two hours have passed," he instructed.

The System pinged in acknowledgment, and Adrian closed his eyes, focusing inward.

He drew mana from the air, guiding it into his dantian with slow, deliberate breaths.

***

[Reminder: 2 hours elapsed]

Adrian opened his eyes to the System’s ping, a faint smile on his lips. He felt refreshed, as always after cultivating.

[Mana: 1.04%]

The gain was meager, but he shrugged it off. Progress was progress, and he could now return to the Factory which was all that mattered.

Lying back on his bed, he closed his eyes and willed himself back: "Visit [System Factory]."

The world dissolved, and he reappeared under the vibrant sky of his personal domain, the Factory’s doors ahead.

[Access Time Remaining: 02:59:55].

Three hours. Adrian grinned and stepped into the workshop, the Magic Heater waiting exactly as he’d left it.

He resumed work immediately, picking up where he’d stopped. The regulator needed fine-tuning, and the Pyralis element required precise alignment to ensure even heat distribution.

He moved between the workbench and the auto-forging array, etching runes and shaping Vyrillium plates for the casing.

Time blurred as he worked, the hours slipping away in a rhythm of carving, calibrating, and testing.

Finally, he secured the last Vyrillium plate, sealing the Magic Crystal within the core.

The heater was complete. A sleek, cylindrical device no longer than half a meter.

As he set it on the workbench, the System lit up:

[You have completed an Invention!]

[Analyzing Invention: Magic Heater]

[Type: Magical Tool]

[Functionality: A+]

[Practicality: B]

[Complexity: C]

[Integrity: C]

[?? - F-]

[Overall Grade: B]

[Remark: A compact, mana-efficient heating solution that outshines traditional methods.]

[Reward: +1500 EXP | +1500 TP]

Adrian marveled at the heater, turning it over in his hands. The B grade was slightly lower than the grenade’s, but the A+ functionality made him proud.

It was a practical tool, one that could change lives in this world of smoky fires and scarce fuel.

Satisfied, he carried the heater to the assembly room, where the central console hummed softly. The room was lined with automated arms, ready to mass-produce his inventions.

He paused the ongoing production of Communicators which had 176 units completed already.

He then proceeded to upload the Magic Heater’s blueprint to the console.

The System had explained before to Adrian. It could only produce items Adrian had successfully created and registered.

The heater’s blueprint was now part of its database. The console pinged: freёnovelkiss.com

[Sourcing materials from Inventory...]

[Specify quantity]

Adrian considered his resources. Vyrillium and Pyralis were plentiful in his Inventory, and he had enough 1-Star Magic Crystals for a sizable batch.

"Three hundred," he decided, aiming to distribute them later or sell them through the Association. The console calculated:

[Total time for 300 units: 300 hours.]

He confirmed, and the assembly arms whirred to life, pulling materials from the Inventory and beginning production.

Adrian watched for a moment with satisfaction before checking the timer:

[Access Time Remaining: 00:27:03].

With less than half an hour left, he decided to step outside the Factory and explore his personal domain, something he had never considered.

The vibrant green grass crunched softly under his boots as he walked, the colorful sky swirling above.

The space felt alive, yet eerily boundless. He wandered for ten minutes, expecting to find an edge or boundary, but the landscape stretched endlessly, the Factory’s doors always visible in the distance no matter how far he walked.

The situation made Adrian surprised, and he paused to analyze it.

"Is this a loop?" he wondered, applying his mathematical knowledge to test the theory.

He recalled principles from his past life; topology and non-Euclidean geometry. If the space was a loop, it would follow a toroidal or spherical manifold, where paths curved back on themselves.

But as he walked, marking his steps and calculating distances, the geometry didn’t align.

The Factory’s position remained constant, yet the ground he covered suggested a straight path. He theorized the space might be a hyperbolic plane, expanding infinitely outward while maintaining a fixed reference point, the Factory.

But even with his enhanced cognitive abilities, the calculations hit a wall. The space wasn’t a loop; it was infinite, existing in a way that defied conventional physics.

"It’s like the System itself is generating this reality," Adrian muttered, awed and frustrated.

[Access Time Remaining: 00:04:47]

After Adrian realized how much minutes he had wasted on this, he gave up trying to unravel the mystery.

Sitting on the grass, he tried cultivating, hoping to draw mana as he did in the real world.

But he felt nothing. There was no flow into his dantian.

"No mana here," he mused, "or maybe it’s because only my consciousness is present?"

He considered Magic Crystals, but was still grounded by the fact that only Mages could use them.

"Knights can’t will mana from crystals into their dantian," he thought. "The resonance isn’t strong enough, unlike a mage’s mana core."

Then, a spark of inspiration hit him.

"What if I made a formation to pull mana in?" His eyes lit up.

A formation that could channel mana directly from Magic Crystals, concentrating it around him would be a game changer.

Such would make the air around him saturated, enabling him to cultivate with a more dense mana.

"This is perfect!" Adrian exclaimed.

"I might have just solved the problem of slow cultivation!"
