Chapter 159: This Is a Huge Loss...

  The “Vehicle Gift Package” in front of Alex was as simple as it could get—a pin white box tied with a satin ribbon. It was clear this was just a pceholder iest version, with minimal effort put into the design.

  With a resigned sigh, Alex reached out and tapped the package lightly. Instantly, with a soft “pop,” the package exploded into three stone cubes that appeared before him. Each cube bore a symbol representing nd, sea, and air. At least the categories were plete, he thought.

  "Hmm..."

  Staring at the stones, Alex houghtfully. In Map of Myriad Dimensions, most items appeared in a form resembling soul stones. Except for equipment and accessories, most thied as summoning stones. All Alex o do was activate them, and…

  "e forth, Pikachu!"

  With a "bang," Alex first picked up the stone for nd vehicles and tossed it forward. A sleek, futuristic vehicle in pristine white materialized in front of him.

  The vehicle resembled a six-wheeled rover with a streamlined design akin to a sports car. It had two unusual drical air intakes oher side. As the vehicle appeared, a detailed description popped up in front of Alex.

  [Nomad Reneral-Purpose)][Avaible Slots: 7]

  "Why is it this thing?"

  Alex was momentarily stunned. Of course, he reized the vehicle—it was the pary exploration rover from Mass Effect. Admittedly, it was very funal. It could adapt to harsh enviros, climb 45-degree slopes, and handle rugged terrain. But… this thing was way too futuristic! How was he supposed to drive this back to the main world?

  Wait, could it be because the system detected he was currently in a sci-fi world and decided to give him only sci-fi vehicles?

  Are you kidding me!?

  Realizing this, Alex’s expression darkened. He retracted the Nomad Rover and g the other two stones in his hand. He hesitated briefly before pig up the one for air vehicles and tossing it forward.

  "Bang!!"

  The moment, a sleek, 120-meter-long white battleship appeared before him. The ship had a ical front, with three hexagonal, armor-like structures on each side. To be ho, it looked quite elegant and luxurious, but… this was it?

  Thinking about the massive Predator mothership he had before, Alex couldn’t help but feel disheartehis was a cssic case of losing the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed. How could he not feel frustrated?

  [Purifier-Css Stealth Bomber (Dimensional Exclusive)][High-Energy Slots: 5, Medium-Energy Slots: 3, Low-Energy Slots: 3, Small Upgrade Slots: 2]

  Wait, what do these slots even mean?

  Curious, Alex tapped on the slot information dispyed by the system. His fastantly turned pale.

  "What the heck? This lousy system not only gave me downgraded vehicles but now expects me to spend my own money on plugins?!"

  If he could, Alex would have thrown the Map of Myriad Dimensions into the body of water to wake it up. What nonsense was this? He had handed over a fully furnished luxury vil, and iurn, he was given two bare-bones shells? And now he had to spera just to make them funal? Unbelievable!

  Do You Even Have Shame?Huh?Do you have shame?!

  Sigh… ungrateful children these days... The world is truly deteriorating, as are no longer what they used to be.

  Alex muttered bitterly, "Ba the day, I toiled day and night writing pns, creatiings, and g tirelessly to raise this system like my own child. And now, look how it treats me—turning ohout hesitation, scamming me like a seasoned artist. Where did you even learn this? How e your dear father never knew you had such 'talent'?"

  Sigh...

  With a heavy sigh, Alex relutly put away the battleship. As it stood, the ship was utterly barren—not a single piece of equipment. To make it funal, Alex would have to install ons and performanhang plugins. And, of course, he’d have to pay for those out of his own pocket.

  Ridiculous!

  Cursing under his breath, Alex took out the st stone and activated it."Bang!"

  To Alex's surprise, this time, peared wasn’t a vehicle but a… card?[Exclusive Activity World Invitation Card][Opens a specified world; activation initiates the event.]

  Wait, there’s something like this too?

  Staring at the invitation card, Alex froze momentarily before realization hit him.It’s a card!

  Every mobile game had some kind of eveure, and Map of Myriad Dimensions was no exception. However, uher games that unched events after a mere annou, Alex had desighis system with a touch of creativity. Pyers would first receive an invitation card detailing the event. They could then choose to activate it or save it for ter—useful for those who didn’t have time to grind, like during Valentine’s Day when some pyers might be busy with their girlfriends. Alex had felt this design was quite siderate.

  What’s that? Worried no one would grind? Hah! No way. Alex’s inal pn ensured event rewards were tied to the number of invitation cards used. The more cards pyers used, the more lucrative the rewards. Using only one card? Enjoy the bare minimum.

  Alex had even briefly sidered whether these invitation cards should be part of a paid gacha system. After all, for the wealthy, money wasn’t an issue, right?

  But now, this wasn’t his anymore.

  So, was this his first event in this world? And it was a vehicle-themed event?

  e on! That’s too unfair… Alex grumbled inwardly. But what kind of vehicles would be included? Transformers, maybe? If it were Transformers, that’d be acceptable…

  Lost in thought, Alex tucked the invitation card away. He wouldn’t for now. He could only use it after leaving this dimensional pne and waiting for the cooldown on dimensional travel to end.

  This time, he had suffered a huge loss!

  Alex felt utterly dejected. Trading a massive Predator mothership had earned him only three items iurn. And now this? The Nomad Rover ractically useless in the main world, the Purifier-Css Stealth Bomber was dimension-locked, and it came without ons ear. Every enha had to be bought from the in-game store!

  In other words, the dimensional credits he had earned from selling the Predator mothership would likely all go back to the system before he could evehem.

  Absolutely infuriating!

  "Master?"

  At that moment, Alex heard Nymph’s voice. He turo see her looking at him expetly.

  "The Predator fleet is approag. Shall we…"

  "Order Miruuo prepare. We’ll destroy those bastards and take their ships for ourselves!"

  The grievances from the system? Alex was determio get revenge on the Predator fleet instead!
