Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 159: Chapter 158 This Move……Really a Heavy Loss

The “vehicle gift pack” in front of Fang Zheng was as simplistic as it could get—a white cardboard box tied with a ribbon. Well, there was no helping it, considering it was a test version, so a random texture to signify its purpose would suffice…

While resignedly mocking, Fang Zheng reached out and gave the package a light tap. Instantly, the package burst open with a “pop,” and three square stones appeared before him. They each bore symbols representing land, sea, and air… well, nothing else to say, but at least the range was comprehensive.

“Hmm……..”

Looking at the stones before him, Fang Zheng nodded. Most items in the “Dimensional Codex” existed in forms similar to the Soulstone. Aside from some equipment and jewelry, most items generally took the form of Summoning Stones, and all Fang Zheng had to do was take them out and then…

“Come forth, Pikachu!”

“Bang.”

...

Fang Zheng first took out the stone for the ground vehicle and threw it, followed by a soft sound. Then, a sci-fi inspired, totally white, strange vehicle appeared before him.

It looked more like a four-wheel-drive car, with a long body and an overall streamlined design like a sports car. It was six-wheel drive, and on either side of the body were two peculiar cylindrical air intakes. Simultaneously, information about this vehicle also appeared before Fang Zheng.

[Wanderer-class Landing Vehicle (Multi-purpose)]

[Available slots: 7]

“Why is it this thing?”

Looking at the vehicle before him, Fang Zheng was taken aback. He obviously knew the origins of this vehicle; it was the planetary landing explorer from “Mass Effect,” and yes, it was indeed quite functional. It could adapt to almost any harsh environment and could even climb forty-five-degree slopes, but… wasn’t this thing a bit too sci-fi? How was he supposed to drive this to the Main World?

Wait, could it be because the system detected that I’m currently in a Sci-Fi World, so all the vehicles it gave me are sci-fi ones?

Damn it!

At this realization, Fang Zheng’s expression soured. He retracted the Wanderer-class, glanced at the other two stones in his hand, then Fang Zheng once again took out the air vehicle stone and threw it forward!

“Bang!!”

The next moment, a nearly 120 meters long, fully white warship appeared before Fang Zheng. Its front was cone-shaped, and on each side of the body were three hexagonal, armor-like structures. Honestly, this thing did look pretty cool, but… this is what you’re giving me?

Thinking back to that several-hundred-meter-long Ironblood Mother Ship, and then looking at this “elegant,” “luxurious” yet severely downscaled thing before him, Fang Zheng was speechless. This was like losing the watermelon for the sake of a sesame seed. This was just speechless!

[Purification-Class Stealth Bomber (Dimensional Exclusive)]

[High Energy Slot: 5, Medium Energy Tank: 3, Low Energy Slot: 3, Small Modification Slots: 2]

Wait, what exactly are these slots about?

Looking at the slot information displayed in the system, Fang Zheng curiously reached out and tapped it, and then his face suddenly went pale!

“Damn it, this crap system, you scam my ride, and now I have to pay for add-ons myself?!!”

If possible, Fang Zheng really wanted to throw the Dimensional Codex into the water to let it sober up a bit. God, I sold you a fully furnished luxury villa, and in turn, you gave me two base model homes? And I have to decorate and furnish them myself?

Do you have no shame?

Huh?

Do you have no shame?!

Ah, how ungrateful… It’s really a sign of the times when people hanker after the past. I remember the days I spent writing plans, setting up, and coding non-stop, raising this system with much difficulty, and the moment it turned around, it didn’t recognize me anymore. Looking back, it scams me so proficiently—where did it learn that? You’re so great, but how come your dad didn’t know about it?!

“Sigh…”

Helplessly, Fang Zheng put away the warship. Right now, this warship was utterly empty, not even a ghost aboard. If Fang Zheng wanted to outfit it, he would have to install weapons and various performance slots… Oh, right, and he had to pay for all these himself.

Absolutely sickening!

Muttering curses under his breath, Fang Zheng took out the last stone and then opened it…

“Bang!”

But to Fang Zheng’s surprise, what appeared was not the vehicle he had imagined but a… card?

[Dimensional Event Exclusive Invitation Card]

[Can activate a specified world, the event starts upon activation]

There’s actually something like this?

Looking at this invitation card, Fang Zheng paused for a moment, then quickly realized.

This was actually an event card!

All mobile games have various events, and Fang Zheng’s “Dimensional Codex” was no exception. However, unlike other games that just open an event with a preview, Fang Zheng had been a bit “artsy” when designing this system. The player would first receive an invitation card, then learn about the event’s contents through the card, after which they could choose whether to use this invitation card—of course, you could also choose not to use it and keep the card for later. After all, some people might not have time for certain events, like Valentine’s Day activities. Some folks have to spend time with their girlfriends, right? Fang Zheng felt his idea was quite thoughtful.

What? You’re afraid no one will participate? Hahaha, that’s not going to happen. The initial planning document stated that the maximum reward for each event would be determined by the total number of invitation cards used. If players used many invitation cards, then the event rewards would be especially generous, and the reward amount would also double. But if the number of invitation cards used by players was only one, then the event rewards would be guaranteed minimal.

Well… Fang Zheng had even considered whether invitation cards should require top-ups… After all, for the wealthy players, they wouldn’t mind spending a little bit of money, right?

But now, he obviously didn’t need to consider this issue.

So, this meant that his first event in this world was a vehicle event?

Did it really have to be this annoying… But then, who knows, what kind of vehicles would there be, Transformers? If it’s Transformers, it might be quite acceptable…

While thinking, Fang Zheng put away the invitation card. He wouldn’t need this event invitation card for now; he would have to wait until his departure from the dimensional world and then wait for the time travel cooldown before he could use it.

This whole situation was totally a loss!

Fang Zheng was really frustrated now. Such a massive Ironblood Mother Ship, and all he got were these three things, and what a welcome offer… Hell, an armored vehicle couldn’t just be driven around in the Main World, and the Purification-Class Stealth Bomber was specifically for the Dimensional World, outright denying him the chance to take it to the Main World—Okay, fine. But the fact that it didn’t even have any weapons installed, and he had to buy plugins from the mall with his own money!

Meaning, the Dimensional Currency he had earned from selling that Ironblood Mother Ship would probably go right back to the system before it even had time to cool down.

Truly infuriating!

“Master?”

Just then, Fang Zheng heard Nymph’s voice in his ear. He turned his head, only to see Nymph looking at him.

“The Ironblood Fleet is about to arrive, we….”

“Order Mirune to get ready; we’re going to wipe out these bastards and take back all their warships!”

The frustration I suffered from the system, I’m determined to fully reclaim it from the Ironbloods!
