After the successful summon, Shen He finally felt relieved.
In fact, from experience, the system's card pool up seemed to not only increase the appearance ratio, but also the probability of appearance, which made Shen He even more looking forward to the next event dungeon time.
But before that, he still had to check out the rewards for this clearance.
Three large treasure chests, choose one.
He hadn't encountered this in the games he played before, but opening chests also required luck.
"Chinese people respect the right." Shen He muttered to himself, "I'll choose the one on the right."
After clicking on the rightmost chest, the three chests opened one after another.
The first box contained a card for any contract. After the information related to this card appeared in Shen He's mind, he immediately regretted his choice. If he had chosen this, he could have contracted with the girl Aleister, or even Kanzaki Kaori would have been a good choice.
But he had already made his choice, and regretting it now was useless. The card for any contract slowly disappeared.
The second box opened, revealing a fragment that looked like crystal.
A Certain Magical Index World (Remnant).
Information related to it appeared in his mind. With this fragment, all Servants could freely travel to the A Certain Magical Index world. Although they couldn't bring anyone in or out, it was equivalent to the logistical support of an entire world.
Shen He felt like he'd been screwed over.
Finally, it was the third box he had chosen. After opening it slowly, something like a castle model appeared.
Virtual Castle.
A palace between virtuality and reality, an extremely luxurious residence with variations in several styles.
The most crucial point is that one can freely bring people in and out!
"There's even something like this..."
Shen He's interest was immediately piqued.
This was almost equivalent to a base camp, and even with the Travel Card, it might have unexpected effects.
He told Jeanne and the others about the Virtual Castle, and they were also very interested.
Immediately, Shen He silently recited in his mind, entering the Virtual Castle.
Somewhat unexpectedly, he didn't enter directly, but rather, a translucent "door" emitting crystal light slowly appeared in front of everyone. It was about three meters high and two meters wide. Shen He felt he could control the size of the "door" to a certain extent.
It's not hard to figure out why things are the way they are.
The Virtual Castle already belonged to Shen He. He didn't need to use the system to teleport. He could open the door at any location and naturally, bring people inside as well.
"Let's go in and take a look,"
Jeanne seemed very excited and walked forward to push open the door.
In an instant, everyone was dazzled by the dazzling, colorful light within. When they adjusted to the brightness, what appeared before them was a resplendent world dominated by a white jade crystal theme. The broad road was paved with spotless white jade, lined with neatly arranged, smiling maids on either side. Every so often, gorgeous crystal lamps were suspended in the air. The entire road led straight to a majestic and imposing Crystal Palace.
"Welcome back, Master."
The moment Shen He stepped inside, all the maids bowed and saluted, their postures uniform, dignified, and elegant. Even the most demanding guest couldn't find a single fault.
At the same time, a flash of understanding passed through Shen He's mind. He had already established a connection with the entire palace.
Now, this castle was in the style of the "Crystal Palace". These maids were all virtual characters, without souls, and unable to speak. They would only meticulously carry out the commands he gave. However, they could be touched. The number and duties of the maids could be freely decided. In the end, this place was like a computer game controlled by a player; everything was virtual, but also real.
"Let's try a different style."
Shen He snapped his fingers, selecting the "Lord's Castle" style.
In an instant, the white jade underfoot turned into smooth, shiny black marble, and soft, luxurious red carpets were laid. The gorgeous crystal lamps transformed into golden gems, radiating a dreamlike, dazzling light. The Crystal Palace also became a black and gold themed castle, filled with solemnity and reverence. At the highest point, a giant flag fluttered in the wind.
With a thought, the Chaldea emblem slowly appeared on the flag.
Under the respectful gaze of the maids, everyone walked on the red carpet, passing the path lined with giant knight statues, and came to the majestic double doors, which were over six meters tall. Everyone wore expressions of amazement and novelty, because the doors were adorned with exquisite carvings, with every detail showcasing nobility and realism.
Shen He was eager to push open the door, but the two maids in front of the door stepped forward first.
Along with the heavy sound of the door opening, the air seemed to change.
Although everything outside was already as silent and solemn as an imperial palace, the inside was even more so, with a pressure that swept over the entire body, truly interpreting what was called ultimate luxury.
This was a vast hall—
The ceiling, which was looked up to, was very high, with golden jewels that emitted a soft light floating everywhere. The surrounding walls were based on black, dotted with various gold-based decorations, plus the pillars that needed several people to embrace to encircle, it didn't look like a transit hall at all, but more like a magnificent throne room.
"So, so big..."
Jeanne was the first to exclaim in surprise. Not to mention before her death, even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, she had never heard of a castle as luxurious as this anywhere in the world.
"Shen He, it's too big!"
Ryougi Shiki emphasized her tone.
Shen He understood what Shiki meant. Neither of them were people who sought enjoyment; too big was inconvenient.
However, he was the one in charge here.
"We just need to stay at the top of the castle."
Shen He waved his hand lightly, and the environment around them suddenly changed.
They instantly arrived at the highest level of the castle, and even here, there were nearly a dozen rooms.
"Next time when opening the door, I'll send you directly here. We can renovate the other areas and use them as our secret base. First, we must have Doctor Gekota's medical room. I can also provide virtual assistants and virtual nurses, even medical equipment. Then, there's a training ground, where I can provide you with all kinds of venues and props..." Shen He rambled on.
This place could completely replace the virtual reality company outside and become Chaldea's true core location.
No one could enter or find this place without Shen He's permission, making it a perfect secret base.
Thinking this way, it didn't seem so bad that he hadn't opened the Contract Card and the A Certain Magical Index world.
"Master." Jeanne took Shen He's hand. "If we use the Travel Card, can we call Misaka Mikoto, Kanzaki Kaori, and the others over to play?"
"That's right," Shen He nodded. "However, they can only come here to play. They can't use this as a transit point to go to other worlds..."
That was the only thing he found a bit regrettable, but the system obviously wouldn't give him such a big loophole.
"Then let's decorate the new home well."
Jeanne's spirits immediately soared. She had long wanted to invite them, as well as Lelouch's sister, Nunnally, and others to come to their home as guests, even including Saiki's lover, Teruhashi Kokomi.
Saiki Kusuo, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a bad premonition, but after hesitating, he still said nothing.
Because he knew very well that it wouldn't be of any use to say anything.
"I also want to see the training ground," Ryougi Shiki said, "and the rooms."
The term "new home" touched her. This place would also be a place that would leave memories in her heart in the future.
"Alright," Shen He simply nodded with a smile.
Although there were gradually more Servants now, the ones he was truly closest to were still the original few.
However, it seemed that one more person had joined the group of people who often stayed by his side, Misaka Mikoto Alter. Shen He looked at Misaka Mikoto Alter, who was standing there a bit left out, and was about to say something when Jeanne pulled her small hand and went to choose a room for her. He immediately felt relieved. It seemed that with Jeanne, this helpful wife, it wouldn't take long for this Alter Servant to integrate.
He spent some time helping the few people here arrange the things they needed.
Afterward, Shen He summoned Misaka Mikoto, Accelerator, Doctor Gekota, and Lelouch together.
"Can I bring the little brat over?"
After learning about this castle, Accelerator immediately thought of this, and after getting an affirmative reply, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.
This place is also absolutely safe, right? If anything dangerous happens in the future, just bring the kid here, and he can crush all enemies without any worries.
"Can any medical equipment be made?" Doctor Gekota asked.
"You need to know the principle," Shen He explained. "Parameters, manufacturing industry, structure, the more detailed the better. That includes the knowledge and abilities of the 'nurses'. Also, if it's a consumable, it still has to be brought from outside. This place can only serve as a 'processing' stage."
In a certain sense, this Virtual Castle is very similar to a virtual reality world, except it can turn virtual things into reality.
But this reality cannot be taken outside; it only works here.
"Then I'll collect more data when I go back," Doctor Gekota seemed relieved. "I was worried that we'd be helpless without equipment in the other world."
Shen He could only respond with a smile. He looked at Misaka Mikoto, thought for a moment, and suddenly waved to her.
"What's up?" Misaka Mikoto walked over and asked straightforwardly.
"This is your room," Shen He said, gesturing behind her with an inscrutable smile. "Aren't you going to go in and take a look?"
Misaka Mikoto looked at her with a doubtful expression.
Her intuition told her that something was wrong inside, but in the end, she still pushed the door open.
"Ah—!"
The moment the door opened, Misaka Mikoto let out a high-pitched scream, typical of a girl.
