Chapter 576: Conjecture
After finishing these tasks, Zhao Hai finally sighed in relief. Although he did not hear the prompt sound from the space, he understood that it was because the items he had collected were still in the warehouse. As long as he placed those items into the space, he should hear the prompt sound.
However, Zhao Hai had no intention of taking those items out at this moment. If a bunch of prompt sounds echoed in the space then, it would be quite noisy. He decided to wait until night when they arrived in the space to release those items.
As Zhao Hai turned around, he was startled to see Billy and Juno closely following him, their expressions as if they had seen a monster. Zhao Hai quickly regained his composure and forced a smile, saying, "Did you two guess it?"
Billy and Juno both nodded in unison. Zhao Hai smiled wryly, "Since you both know, I'm not afraid to tell you. This is a spatial otherworldly technique, but my spatial technique is a bit strange. It has no attack power; it can only be used like spatial equipment to store things. That's why I haven’t told anyone."
Billy and Juno nodded. They didn’t doubt Zhao Hai’s words too much. They understood that if it came to offensive superpowers, spatial otherworldly techniques would certainly be among the most powerful. If Zhao Hai could use spatial techniques to attack enemies, his combat power would nearly rival that of a ninth-level expert, and his fame would likely be even greater than it is now.
However, Billy and Juno also knew that it couldn't be ruled out that Zhao Hai could use his spatial technique for attacking. His remark could just be a precautionary measure. But it didn't concern them; they were friends with Zhao Hai, and the stronger he was, the better.
Billy laughed heartily, "Don't worry, sir. Today you have solved a major problem for us, so we will naturally keep your secret. As for this old fellow, you don’t need to worry. He’s an old and shrewd character who certainly knows what to say and what not to say. For him, having a friend like you is much better than having an enemy like you. You’ve helped us tremendously today. Once you clear this place, we can start mining that iron mine."
Zhao Hai smiled wryly. For the dwarf clan, having a mine to excavate was more important than anything else, as it was their obsession.
Juno smiled wryly as well. Billy called him an old hand, but he was not far behind either; he was also quite experienced. In any race, their clan leaders were not simple figures. Even purely foreign races were the same; otherwise, their races would have been swallowed up long ago.
The three of them carefully checked the valley again, and after confirming that no more red-stained stones were found, they left the valley. As they exited, Billy's smile never faded; Zhao Hai had truly helped him resolve a pressing issue.
Once back in Billy's office, after sitting down, Billy turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, bring out some good wine. Today is a joyous day, and we need to drink a few more cups."
Juno laughed heartily, "You old wine lover, just say you want to drink. Do you think Mr. Zhao Hai cares about that little wine of yours? By the way, this reminds me, sir, just how big is your space? It seems like you've never filled it up."
Zhao Hai smiled wryly, "You hit the nail on the head. I really don’t know how big my space is. All I know is that it can hold a lot of things and has some directional teleportation capabilities, but beyond that, there aren't any other functions."
Juno and Billy were taken aback, "Directional teleportation? You mean your space can perform directional teleportation?"
Zhao Hai nodded, "Yes, but it's quite difficult and requires a lot of preparation. Right now, I can only teleport people to Golden Island; other places won't work."
Zhao Hai mentioned this because he knew he would need to use teleportation many times in the future, so it was fine for them to know.
Even though Zhao Hai had made this teleportation function sound quite simple, Juno still felt envious. He smiled wryly, "No wonder you can carry so many things and come and go so mysteriously. It turns out it's because of this reason. With such an ability, it's no wonder the Budah family is thriving."
