When Yang Yuan arrived at the assembly room of the Research Department, Leader Chen and Chen Xianzhi were already there.
In addition, there was also the Space Carrier superpower user whom he had met twice before.
When he arrived, the Research Department was enthusiastically discussing the research on the Evil Suppressing Stele, but it was clear that no results had come out yet.
"Mr. Yang Yuan is here."
Chen Xianzhi spotted Yang Yuan and immediately came up to him, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is the only Space Carrier in our 13th team. He was originally a soldier in the 13th Independent Regiment, ranked as a squad leader. But after awakening as a Space Carrier, he is now responsible for logistics and serves as the head of our 13th team's logistics department, Yao Jun."
Saying this, he turned to Yao Jun: "Yao Jun, this is Mr. Yang Yuan."
"Mr. Yang Yuan, it's an honor to work with you," Yao Jun said, politely extending his hand.
"Likewise."
Yang Yuan extended his hand to shake the other person's and then curiously asked, "Could I ask, what major system does your Space Carrier ability belong to? What is its main capability? Of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."
"No inconvenience at all."
Yao Jun earnestly explained, "Space Carrier is considered part of the Rule System. Although it belongs to the spatial aspect, it's actually just like that. I don't have any spatial abilities, I'm just a carrier."
"Carrier?" Yang Yuan was taken aback.
"That's right, a carrier. As the name suggests, I carry a huge space, but I, myself, actually have no combat power. Even my constitution isn't much stronger than a normal person's. I'm now considered to have stepped into the human level, but my pure strength is less than 300 pounds," Yao Jun explained.
Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow, "I noticed your space seems quite large, I thought..."
"The space is indeed very large. When I first awakened, I had a three-dimensional space with a diameter of 100 meters."
Yao Jun remarked, "Now that I've reached the human level, my space has reached a diameter of 1,000 meters. I'm just a pure carrier, carrying this empty, vast space. Perhaps that's precisely why this ability is called Space Carrier."
Chen Xianzhi also remarked, "Based on information we've dug out from the Ancient Ruins, every time a Space Carrier breaks through a small barrier, the space diameter doubles, and when breaking through a major barrier, it increases tenfold. But the carrier itself has almost no combat power."
Such a gigantic space!
No wonder the entire 13th team's supplies seem to fit inside it, probably not even full.
Yang Yuan listened and marveled, clicking his tongue in praise, "It's truly a miraculous ability. May I ask, does this ability put a burden on you?"
"Well, what do you think?" Yao Jun replied with a helpless smile.
Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Chen Xianzhi helped explain, "He's a Space Carrier, and carrying naturally causes a burden. Of course, this burden isn't a weight pressure. The objects placed inside the space he carries don't let him feel any weight. What truly burdens him is the space itself, which brings mental pressure."
"To put it simply, for instance, if you carry a huge basket every day without being able to put it down, you'd also feel pressured. Even if the basket has no actual weight, it's... an eyesore."
Yao Jun said helplessly, "My ability is different from others. I can see that enormous space at any time, unable to block it out. It's like facing the vastness of deep space at all times."
Yang Yuan suddenly understood. So that's the pressure... A significant mental burden indeed.
Chen Xianzhi opened up again, "Mr. Yang Yuan, now that Yao Jun is here, how do you plan to proceed with this? By the way, I've already explained everything to Yao Jun, and he's agreed."
Yang Yuan straightforwardly said, "He's a superpower user in the space aspect. Presumably, his blood would contain some spatial power. I want some of his blood to forge a door."
"Forge a door with human blood?"
Everyone present frowned.
"May I ask what this door is for? What function does it have?" Leader Chen hurriedly asked, being particularly interested in such things.
Yang Yuan decided to first instill a concept for the door and imprint it in everyone's mind: "This door is called the Door of Arbitrariness. It has the function of ultra-long-distance teleportation, but it must be forged with materials containing spatial power. If successfully forged, maybe we could use it to escape these Ancient Ruins."
"A Door of Arbitrariness?! The legendary Arbitrary Gate?"
"You can forge an Arbitrary Gate?!"
Everyone present was astonished.
Even Yao Jun was very intrigued, "To be honest, I don't know if my blood contains spatial power, so..."
"I know, but giving it a try wouldn't result in too much loss, would it? All I need is a portion of your blood, and it won't endanger your life. Afterwards, I'll specially craft a weapon or something else for you. Think it over and come to me when you're ready. Of course, you'll provide the materials," Yang Yuan said.
Yao Jun thought for a bit and agreed, "Then I have no issues. When do we start?"
"The sooner, the better. Ideally right now."
Yang Yuan looked at Leader Chen, "This door preferably should have a doorframe that can be installed on the ground and is portable, with a door panel that can open and close, just a single door."
"Is there a size requirement?" Leader Chen asked.
Yang Yuan: "Standard size will do, but the higher the quality of the material, the better. Oh, and above the door, engrave the words 'Arbitration'."
"That can be done."
Having some understanding of Yang Yuan's ability, this time Leader Chen didn't ask any questions and directly proceeded to make it according to Yang Yuan's requirements.
First, he instructed Yao Jun to let out blood.
No matter Yao Jun's lack of combat power, he's still a human-level superpower user and not easy to kill.
So Leader Chen was somewhat inconsiderate, letting him almost fill a glass vessel, pausing only when Yao Jun was almost fainting.
After having Yao Jun carried off, he immediately began preparing the materials, essentially mixing the blood with a metal known as Blood Steel, resulting in a crimson-gold metal.
Yang Yuan looked at this metal, suddenly having a thought, wondering if there's any upgrade data for metals he personally concocts.
But the timing wasn't right, so he didn't act rashly, merely observing from the side.
With the assistant's help, Leader Chen worked quickly. Coupled with automation equipment here, the various modules were quickly made, taking under two hours in total.
In fact, the majority of the time was spent on making the metal materials.
"Since you need it installed on the ground, I added a base," Leader Chen said.
"That's fine."
Yang Yuan nodded and then began assembling under guidance.
When all the modules were assembled, a metal door measuring 2.5 meters in height and 1.5 meters in width appeared before them.
The door was entirely crimson-gold. Ignoring the frame's thickness, people up to 2.3 meters tall could pass through.
There was also a latch and handle on the back of the door panel.
[(Fake) Door of Arbitrariness Lv.1: 0/10 (A counterfeit not even considered substandard, but perhaps a good theft-proof door due to the high quality of the door; cannot be upgraded)]
This description made Yang Yuan raise an eyebrow and then grin.
As long as the name is right, the rest doesn't matter.
"So, does it meet the requirements?" Leader Chen asked expectantly.
