Nexus Demonic Farm Teleporter

The first seed available was labeled "Lunar Slumber Blossom." Eager for details, he clicked on the '(?)' icon next to it, and its description appeared: 

 

<<<<

[A plant unique to demonic farms. Once harvested and discarded, it releases a potent aroma, inducing a deep sleep in those who inhale it. Price: 1000 seeds = 1000 Abyssal Coins.]

>>>>

 

Next, he tapped the '?' beside the Agilitybane Thistle. The description read: 

 

<<<<

[A seed that sprouts into a wicked ball of thorns. On contact, the thorns release a curse, reducing the agility of the afflicted for 5 minutes. Note: Effects can't be stacked more than 3 times. Price: 100 seeds = 3000 Abyssal Coins.]

>>>>

 

Lastly, he clicked on the '?', revealing the description of the Abyssal Delight Fruit: 

 

<<<<

[Abyssal Delight Berries - A coveted Berries from the very depths of the abyss. Renowned across realms for its unmatched, exquisite taste. Price: 100 seeds = 10000 Abyssal Coin.]

>>>>

 

The first two weren't items that he could use as food, yet they held immense value in dangerous situations. On the other hand, the last edible item carried a hefty price tag. 

 

He pondered, 'I wonder how these Abyssal Delight berries would taste?' 

 

Just as he was immersing himself in the description, a series of notifications began to flood in, momentarily causing him to frown. But as he read through the contents, his face lit up with joy.

His eyebrows raised slightly, a soft smile forming at the corner of his lips. He hadn't expected someone to buy his crops this quickly, but it certainly worked in his favor. 'Well, that was fast,' he mused inwardly.

 

The marketplace was more active than he had thought and It was clear that these items were in high demand.

 

With enough funds now available to purchase the [Nexus Demonic Farm Teleporter], he quickly navigated to the [Special This Week] section and selected the third item.

 

A prompt appeared on his screen: <Are you sure you want to purchase the [Nexus Demonic Farm Teleporter]?> with the options [Yes/No] below.

 

Upon confirming his choice as [Yes], 43,000 abyssal coins were deducted from his golden vault, reducing his balance to 4,310 abyssal coins. 

 

A cylindrical capsule, shimmering with captivating lights, manifested about two meters in front of him. The sight caught Theo's attention immediately, and he went forth to inspect his purchase.

 

However, one look at its imposing size, and he could tell - this Teleporter was not going to be easy to move. When he tried, he barely nudged it a few inches from its spot. 

 

But then, Theo discovered wheels attached to the base of the Teleporter. This should have made things simpler, but the darned thing still seemed ridiculously heavy to shift.

 

Feeling a bit defeated, he sighed. Glancing towards the rainbow tree, he noticed Lilith was no longer sleeping and had woken up. "Demoness, could you give me a hand here?” He asked her using telepathic message.

 

Lilith’s mischievous voice sounded in his mind, “Mmm, will you grant me a sip of your delectable blood in return?” By then, she was already making her way towards him.

 

Theo replied back with a hint of exasperation, “Really? Now? Do you genuinely want me to die due to a lack of blood? Can't you think of something else besides my blood for once?”

 

The corners of her mouth twitched upwards, showing her amusement, “Just a little sip? I promise it won't be much. Think of it as a... service fee.” Lilith cooed, trying to sound as persuasive as possible. As she neared him, her eyes glinted with mischief.

 

However, As she was met with Theo's unwavering, frosty stare, her playful expression briefly faltered. With a giggle, she conceded, "Fine, fine. I'll help my favorite human for free – no charges today.”

 

She reached the Teleporter and pushed it with all her strength. The earth underneath her feet slightly sank, indicating the immense weight of the object. But she made progress, even if her strained face gave away the struggle involved. 

 

Managing to find her voice amidst the strain, she puffed, "Where are we setting this beast up?”

 

“Between Dreamweaver Pond and the Obsidian Shed,” Theo responded, trying to mask his amusement at her struggle.

 

“On it…” She huffed and started wheeling it to the designated location. After ensuring it was safely placed, she dusted off her hands, shooting Theo a look filled with both fatigue and smug accomplishment. 

 

 

Approaching her, Theo patted her head, "Well done, Demoness.”

 

She leaned in slyly, batting her eyelashes, “How about a tiny sip of blood as a tip for a job well done?”

 

A soft thud resounded as Theo playfully bonked her on the head. 

 

"Ow!" Lilith exaggerated her pain, rubbing the spot where she'd been hit. But a faint smile graced her lips. The girl knew better than to complain; after all, This playful 'punishment' was, in a way, Theo's affectionate response to her banter, especially in response to her endless, teasing blood jokes.

 

Standing in front of the capsule, Theo spotted a discreet button on its side. Upon pressing it, The capsule began to quiver, its wheels retracting into the ground as a series of mechanisms clicked and whirred, and panels slid out, parts shifted and expanded, anchoring the structure firmly to the ground. 

 

Emerging from this transformation was a platform elevated by three steps, and atop it, a half-opened screen embedded within the semi-capsule shape.

 

Theo and Lilith climbed the stairs side by side. Glancing at the screen, Theo saw a prompt that read, [Initiate the Geo-Scan.] Without hesitation, he tapped on it. 

 

As Theo started the scanning process, the screen transformed, pulsating with a vibrant luminescent green as a net-like pattern began to oscillate, mapping the varied terrains. 

 

Slowly, the surrounding area began to show on the screen with each oscillation, representing forests with finely detailed tree icons and delineating paths that twisted through them. 

 

Dots in differing colors began to appear, marking various points of interest. The name of Ashenvale village appeared prominently, albeit without the typical green locator dot accompanying it.

 

In the result displayed on the screen, they could also spot the nearby Ironkeep city, marked with a green dot. However, there were other cities in view, each marked distinctly: some in yellow, others in red, and a few with mysterious "???" labels. 

 

With the last oscillation, the detailed map finalized, presenting a vivid landscape full of possible destinations. Following this, a new message emerged on the screen:

 

<<<<

[Scan completed.] 

[You can designate primary and secondary home point destinations. Modify them at any time.]

>>>>

 

After a few seconds, more queries appeared:

 

<<<<

[Would you like to set your current location as a primary home point?] 

[Yes/No]

>>>>

 

Without hesitation, Theo selected [Yes].

 

Lilith, with wide eyes, inquired, “Where did you find such an advanced Teleporter capsule? And one that even lets you set two home points?”

 

“From the auction house," Theo replied in a calm voice. "But it cleaned out my funds. I'm almost broke now.”

 

Lilith comforted him with a sweet voice, “You'll eventually earn more.”

 

Uncertainly, Theo asked, “Do you know how to operate this?”

 

“Not entirely. But choosing one of these dots sets your Teleport destination. It'll then ask if you wish to proceed. But, it uses some energy for its function. It seems like it's drawing power from the farm, which nourishes its energy from those Eldritch trees you planted earlier,” Lilith explained, pointing at the dots on the screen.

 

Upon closer inspection, Theo found 11 color dots, symbolizing cities available for him to Teleport to from his current location. Three red dots indicated areas dangerous for his current level. Four yellow ones suggested caution, and several with the ??? sign remained locked to him. Additionally, forest areas indicated beasts and creatures, hinting at its dangers.

 

After carefully checking, Theo remarked, “For safety, it's best to stick to the smaller cities given our current strength.”

 

Lilith asked, gazing at the boy as he was looking at the screen, “Have any place in mind?”

 

“I've heard about the Shadowmire woods near the Ashenvale village. Given the village's fear of this wild forest, this city might be a good spot to explore. And since it's marked in green, it's likely safer compared to the red and yellow zones,” Theo mused loudly as he indicated at a city that was within the forest.

 

Lilith's eyes sparkled with happiness, “I can finally travel outside.”

 

Theo hesitated, “Given it's my first time using this, shouldn’t you wait here? I'll bring you out when find a good place.”

 

Lilith gave a resigned sigh, “Fine, but don’t keep me waiting too long.”

 

“Don’t worry Demoness, I'll get you out as soon as I can,” Theo reassured her.

 

Lilith then descended from the platform, and Theo, taking a deep breath, clicked on the green dot near the forest. A prompt popped up: 

 

<<<<

[Elwyn city]

[Do you want to Teleport now?]

[Yes/No]

>>>>

 

Taking a moment to collect himself, Theo pressed [Yes].
