Chapter 54: White lotus
Chapter 54: White lotus
Before starting the last process of construction, Xin had to connect the vessel with one of his internal organs. Some tend to connect the magic vessel with their hearts, while others connect it with their abdomen.
If the vessel is not connected by its user, it would automatically connect itself with any random organ of the body. But in Xin's case, nothing of that sort happened, and instead, it was floating in his abdomen region.
It was his first time to witness something like that. His construction process had already crossed 80%, but his vessel root wasn't connected to any organ.
Apart from that, he was squeezing his brain to think of a way to stop the construction process. Ninety-two percent, Ninety-three percent, Ninety-three percent It was nearing its completion, and Xin had no idea what to do in such a situation. If he ended up with a spherical-shaped vessel, not only would it limit his potentials, but it would also decrease his chances of evolution.
While he was wrecking his brain, suddenly, a notification window popped up before him.
[Host has acquired the Dimensional Storage]
[Host has acquired the Expansion Infinity]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
Seeing the same notification appearing, again and again, Xin got pissed and yelled with anger, "Lol Daisy, it's not the time for that!!"
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
[Host is requested to configure both the rewards]
Daisy didn't reply to his vexation and kept on spamming the same notification on the screen. Seeing the spam wasn't showing a sign of stopping, Xin finally gave up and asked her to pose the instruction manual.
The vessel construction was a lost cause now. He didn't have any plan or backup to reverse the process. He let it be as it was and diverted his attention towards the reward configuration process.
"Show me the manual," Xin ordered in his mind.
[Creating a reward configuration manual]
[Creation success!!]
[Reward configuration manual]
{Dimensional Storage: A reality illusion space that can be used to store anything. Must connect its root to an internal organ before using it.
Expansion Infinity: A special one-time package, used for expanding the dimensional storage}
Xin read the manual on the screen and had some thoughts about it. An insanely crazy idea was coming to his mind, and he was tempted enough to try it out. After pondering some more about it, he finally decided to throw away his hesitation and follow the plan that he had been making for a while.
"Daisy, open the gift package Dimensional Storage."
"Affirmative, master."
[Opening the reward package, Dimensional Storage]
Suddenly a white lotus materialized out of nowhere. Xin went near the materialized object and touched it with his finger. Upon touching the lotus, he felt as if an unknown energy entered into his body.
Xin closed his eyes with the lotus in his hands and tried to trace the whereabouts of that energy. He did so by mobilizing his mental power and letting it pass throughout his body. It was one of the standard methods used in the world of magic to find any defects or know the body's condition.
Half a minute later, Xin found out that unknown energy wasn't stationary in his body, and instead, it was moving here and there as if it's searching for something inside his body.
Xin abruptly opened his eyes and asked Daisy to explain about that unknown energy. But before she did, Xin's forehead began to glow, and a white lotus mark materialized on his forehead.
Tons of information were flooding into his mind. He was having a hard time processing them at once. After taking some long breaths, Xin finally processed all that information and learned about the lotus mark on his forehead.
According to the system's information, the white lotus was the vessel of the Dimensional Storage, having roots similar to that of a plant. Before using the Dimensional Storage, he had to connect its two primary roots with his body and let it absorb energy from there.
The unknown energy from earlier was like a searching device that determined Xin's forehead was the best place for connecting the roots and transferred the Dimensional Storage there.
Xin could clearly feel the connection of the two branches and its effects on his mind. He felt as if the power of space had been embedded in his body. A dazzling smirk appeared on Xin's face. He was moving onto the next part of his plan, which was to connect the root of his magic vessel with the root of his dimensional storage.
This was the plan he came up with after reading the manual provided by the system. 'If both the things have roots, then why don't connect them into one?'
The construction process had already crossed ninety-nine percent, and the vessel's shape was finally getting materialized. It was just a step behind completion.
Just at that moment, Xin mobilized all the magiculus energy in his body to intervene in the construction process from completion. While the magiculus energy was stopping the process, his mental energy was trying to connect the root of the Dimensional Storage with the magic vessel's root. The Dimensional Storage had two primary roots, and Xin was trying to connect one of them with his vessel.
Both the roots were far away from each other. One was at the abdomen, while the other was on his forehead. In the beginning, Xin was planning to extend both the roots and connect them somewhere around his chest.
But after observing the mental power consumption of the task, he decided to exert force on the magic vessel and extend its root towards his forehead.
Meanwhile, the effect of the Second Wave was wearing off gradually in the outside world. Some cadets were trying their best to wake up from their dreams while the others were half awake from their sleep. Since the entire area was covered by fog and mist, they could not see what was happening behind the Red pine truck.
On the other side, Xin was using every last drop of his mental energy to extend the vessel's root towards his forehead. His head was getting heavy, and his heartbeat was getting unstable. The oxygen level in his brain was depilating faster. He had no other means to supply oxygen except breathing air through his mouth.

He knew the first two were related to his health status, but not sure about the third one. While he was pondering over it, a gentle aura appeared around his body.
The uneasy feeling from earlier disappeared all of a sudden. His heartbeat was becoming stable, and his brain was getting enough oxygen for generating an enormous amount of mental energy.
After recovering from his fatigue, Xin decided to give it one last shot and finish it in one go. He closed his eyes again and took one long deep breath in. He didn't let it out from his lungs and instead used that momentum to extend his vessel root towards his forehead.
[Success!!]
[Success!!]
[Success!!]
The notification window appeared again. Xin didn't waste time in checking the notification and gave out his final order to the system.
"Daisy, apply the Expansion Infinity, now!!" Xin screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Affirmative, master."
[Applying the Expansion Infinity]

Thud!!
With that, Xin fainted on the ground and fell into a long deep slumber.
