Hearing Xia Anran's complaint, Lin Xian patted the chicken bone fragments off his hands and slowly sat up from the grass.
Asking someone like him, a seasoned master of lying down, to go down the mountain to run errands and buy groceries would be worse than killing him.
Living in a floating manor 10,000 meters above the ground is quite comfortable, but the commute to get off work and grocery shopping is a bit tiring for the legs.
"Brother Xian, how about I get up early tomorrow and borrow a tricycle from the village chief to go down the mountain and buy some vegetables to bring back up?"
Xia Anran clutched the hem of her clothes, her innocent face filled with heartache, afraid that the whole family in the manor would go hungry.
Lin Xian yawned loudly, casually plucked a foxtail grass from the grass, and put it in his mouth.
"Why would I borrow a tricycle? If you get hurt from all the jostling, who's going to make my bed?"
Two blushes crept up Xia Anran's fair ears as she lowered her head, not daring to look at the teasing glances of the girls beside her.
Lin Xian effortlessly activated the system panel in his mind.
A screen full of flashing blueprints scrolled rapidly in front of him.
My gaze was fixed on a hidden corner of the space-related technology tree.
"Miniature two-way spatial jump door, priced at 500,000 comfort points."
"It can establish a stable spatial wormhole between two fixed coordinate points, regardless of physical distance."
Lin Xian didn't even look at his balance; he simply pressed the redemption button with his mind.
A pale blue beam of light, invisible to the naked eye, burst forth from Lin Xian's fingertips.
The beam of light drew a graceful arc in mid-air and landed precisely on the solid wood door of the manor's back kitchen.
The solid wood door frame was instantly covered by a layer of water-like, ethereal blue light.
The once ordinary wooden door now resembles a rippling blue mirror, exuding a profound sci-fi feel.
A faint crackling sound of electricity could be heard in the air, and the surrounding space even appeared to be visibly distorted.
Tang Wu had just picked up the magnifying glass that had cracked when she turned around and saw this scene. Her hand trembled, and the lens shattered completely on the ground.
This national treasure-level female scientist stumbled and crawled to the kitchen door, her face almost touching the blue light screen.
"You actually used wormhole-making technology to modify the kitchen door!"
Tang Wu grabbed her messy hair, feeling that she had wasted all her education.
Lin Xian leaned back in the rocking chair and raised his chin at Xia Anran, who was stunned.
"Anran, go and push open that door and take a look."
Xia Anran swallowed hard, her small hand trembling slightly as she pressed it against the blue-glowing door.
It doesn't have the hard feel of wood; touching it feels like touching a warm lump of jelly.
She pushed forward forcefully, and her whole body passed directly through the light curtain.
The scene shifts, and Xia Anran discovers that the grass beneath her feet has transformed into smooth, non-slip ceramic tiles.
The noise of middle-aged women scrambling to buy discounted eggs filled my ears, along with the popular hit song playing over the supermarket's loudspeaker.
She turned her head and looked around, only to find herself standing in the fresh produce section of the largest Jiajiafu supermarket in town.
Behind her, an invisible blue portal was slowly closing in the air; only she could sense the existence of that coordinate.
A middle-aged woman wearing a red vest pushed her cart past and rubbed her eyes.
"That's strange, how come this living person seems to have appeared out of nowhere from behind the freezer?"
Xia Anran clutched her heart with both hands, so excited she almost jumped up in the supermarket.
Brother Xian actually built her a door that would allow her to instantly descend the mountain!
She pushed a shopping cart over and, like a little girl who had just received her New Year's money, rummaged through the fresh produce section.
"Sister-in-law Xiu Niang said she wanted to make turtle soup for Brother Xian and bought two of the biggest wild ones."
"Sister Chu likes seafood, so please take a few more of these Australian lobsters."
In less than ten minutes, the shopping cart was piled up like a small mountain.
Xia Anran swiped the unlimited credit card given to her by Lin Xian, and carrying four large shopping bags, headed towards the invisible coordinate point.
Outside the supermarket, several deliverymen, drenched in sweat, were cursing under their breath from climbing the stairs to deliver groceries.
Little did they know, some people in this world were already using teleportation portals to buy groceries.
Xia Anran took a deep breath, picked up her shopping bag, and took a step forward.
That feeling of penetrating the water film returned.
A second later, she landed steadily on the smooth wooden floor of the manor's kitchen.
Outside the kitchen, Lin Xian was holding a glass of chilled lemonade, chatting with Su Qinghan about the interior design of the new villa.
Xia Anran held the two large, menacing Australian lobsters high in her hands, her smile brighter than any flower.
"Look, Brother Xian, I bought all the ingredients for a Manchu Han Imperial Feast in less than ten minutes!"
Tang Wu squatted next to the teleportation portal, holding a voltmeter she'd somehow found, and started randomly testing the air.
"The stability of the spatial channel has reached 100%, which completely violates the cosmological constant!"
Lin Xian walked over and gently brushed the tip of Xia Anran's nose.
"From now on, the highest level of access to this door will be tied to you alone."
Xia Anran felt as if the tip of her nose, which Lin Xian had brushed, was on fire, and the flames spread all the way to her ears.
She shoved the lobster into the sink, then bent down to wash tomatoes, not even noticing the tap was running at full blast.
Su Qinghan leaned against the kitchen counter, watching Xia Anran's lovestruck expression, and secretly clenched the water glass in her hand.
Despite his status as a CEO worth hundreds of billions, he was no match for Lin Xian's personal butler who knew how to buy groceries.
She walked up to Lin Xian in her high heels, just about to ask for the privilege of keeping accounts for the manor.
The blue teleportation screen, which had been as calm as still water, suddenly began to flicker violently as if it were leaking electricity.
Blinding red and blue lights flashed alternately, accompanied by a piercing crackling sound of electricity tearing through the air.
The voltmeter in Tang Wu's hand suddenly burst into a burst of sparks, startling her so much that she fell to the ground with a thud.
"Boss, an object of unknown mass is forcibly compressing the wormhole barrier!"
Lin Xian's lazy expression vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if he had been disturbed.
He shielded Xia Anran behind him and casually grabbed a gleaming boning knife from the cutting board.
The light curtain fluctuated more and more violently, and the water ripples were distorted to the extreme.
"Sizzle—"
A crisp sound of tearing fabric came from the light screen.
A pair of feet, clad in expensive Italian handmade leather shoes, slipped awkwardly out of the blue ripples.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a bespoke suit and with slicked-back hair fell in headfirst like a bowling ball.
The man fell heavily onto the kitchen floor, his face sliding half a meter away, brushing against a few pieces of vegetable leaves that Xia Anran had just washed.
His suit was torn in several places by the spatial turbulence, revealing a flashy silk shirt underneath.
The man lay on the ground and gagged twice, then struggled to lift his head, clutching his swollen forehead.
Lin Xian twirled the boning knife in his hand in a beautiful flourish, then placed the tip of the knife against the man's nose.
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll use you to make the broth for tonight's lobster soup."
The man, seeing the knife tip so close to his face, scrambled backward in terror.
He raised his hands tremblingly, pointed at Su Qinghan who was holding a water glass next to him, and shouted.
"Don't kill me! I'm a representative from Aurora Capital. Young Master Zhao sent me to take President Su back to get married!"
