The Rich Cultivator-Chapter 258. A small journey to the south

A swirling portal materialized in the heart of Cedar Islands, its shimmering energy rippling like a liquid mirror. Tyler, accompanied by Lily, Mana, and Zuzia—who had taken her winged cat form—stepped through, their expressions calm.

But

"Teleporting without the receiving point. One might end up between the buildings or deep inside the sea." Lily said.

"No problem, I can handle it . We are going to travel all the way to south with this method and create a Teleportation Hub." Tyler replied.

Actually luck is also part of this. The accident rarely happens without a receiving point. And Hawk always uses this method to travel south. Tyler never doubted his luck. Especially his abnormal luck that helped him get away from an Immortal.

Waiting for them was Situ, the newly appointed Head of the Woodcutter Association, standing respectfully with a bow.

"Alright, I need to check on all my branches, so my schedule’s tight. Let’s start immediately," Tyler said briskly, wasting no time.

Situ led them to the newly built private teleportation hub.

Unlike traditional teleportation arrays, which required intricate engravings and years of painstaking labor to construct, The waypoint terminals which can create portals was completed in just three months with the combined expertise of Head Serena and Hawk.

The project was part of a previous agreement: They would deliver a series of waypoint terminals that could connect southern islands for Tyler’s buisness, along with granting limited usage rights to the technology. The first terminal was completed successfully, though Serena’s subsequent poisoning had been an unfortunate setback. Still, Tyler wasn’t deterred. He now owns the technology. For now, one operational terminal was enough, he can just use his chest item to multiply it.

Upon reaching the private teleportation hub, Tyler quickly instructed everyone to clear the area. With a calm precision, he raised a copper ladle and made a pouring motion towards an empty space.

In an instant, a portal machine appeared, it is the waypoint terminal. Its shimmering edges crackling with vibrant energy. The portal device itself stood as a towering masterpiece of futuristic engineering, its immense circular frame glowing with hues of blue, purple, and white. Intricate engravings covered its metallic surface, a seamless blend of ancient runic designs and cutting-edge technology.

For the next hour, Tyler worked tirelessly to connect the various components. Holographic symbols and patterns floated in the air, rearranging and shifting as though they were alive. The entire system pulsed with energy, radiating an otherworldly hum that filled the room.

Several hours later, Tyler emerged from his work, his expression satisfied.

Situ, now joined by several other shareholders from the company, arrived at the teleportation hub to witness the demonstration. Tyler didn’t waste time. Glancing at his watch, he activated the portal with a simple tap. The air shimmered, and a vortex of swirling light and energy formed before their eyes.

"Follow me," Tyler said, stepping confidently into the portal.

Situ followed without any thoughts.

The group hesitated for a moment. Summoning their courage, they stepped through, finding themselves instantly transported inside the Teleportation Hub.

They were awestruck by the swirling storm of light and energy that seemed alive with its own pulse. It was unlike anything they had ever seen—large enough to accommodate not just people but vehicles and cargo.

The shareholders stood in stunned silence as they took in the sight. Unlike traditional teleportation arrays, which required two fixed hubs to function, Tyler’s portable waypoint unit could open a portal anywhere. It was a game-changing innovation, a revolutionary leap in teleportation technology.

"This system eliminates the need for fixed hubs on both ends," Tyler explained as he glanced at their astonished faces. "It’s fully mobile and adaptable."

The shareholders’ eyes gleamed with excitement, their minds racing with possibilities. But before they could voice their enthusiasm, Tyler cut through their fantasies with a sharp dose of reality.

"This portable waypoint unit won’t hit the market for a few dozen years," he said, his tone firm. "For now, it’s not for sale, and you won’t be getting your hands on it. Just use it like normal Teleportation arrays."

With that, Tyler dismissed their eager expressions, leaving them awestruck and grounded.

Tyler just want to own private teleportation Hubs.

Tyler and the girls resumed their journey.

Their next destination was the bustling Triangle Islands, accessed via one of the waypoint terminal.

Upon arrival, the girls left Tyler to his business, to explore the lively island. They immersed themselves in sightseeing and shopping.

The island had transformed drastically since Tyler’s establishment of the "White Trading Center."

Once a quiet blueford town, it now teemed with merchant ships and adventurer vessels, the streets alive with the sounds of commerce and excitement.

Tyler, however, had no time to linger. He met with the trading center’s manager, who escorted him to a large empty warehouse. The structure, normally reserved for emergency supplies, provided the perfect space for Tyler’s next project.

"Clear the area," Tyler instructed. The manager obeyed without hesitation, ushering the workers out of the warehouse and leaving Tyler alone in the expansive room.

Tyler began his work, retrieving his trusted copper ladle and pot. From the pot, he looked inside and saw an intricately crafted small Waypoint Terminal. This was the original terminal, painstakingly created by Serena and Hawk during their initial efforts.

Tyler used ladle ability to place the original inside the copper pot.

Yes this is one of the ability of Copper pot where Tyler doesn’t need to store something in Storage device and then copy it.

Instead he can copy any items at any measurements with the Ladle.

Carefully, he used his ladle to "scoop" a copy of the Waypoint Terminal from the original inside the copper pot. With a practiced motion, he "poured" the terminal into the empty space of the warehouse. Instantly, the structure materialized before him—a perfect replica. Its glowing runes flickered to life as Tyler began the process of connecting and activating the system.

Then it took an hour of focused effort to connect and activate it. Tyler worked methodically, ensuring the terminal integrated seamlessly with the network he was building across the south. Once the connection was complete, he approached the small screen embedded beside the terminal.

The interface was simple but powerful. It displayed a list of destinations, with "Cedar Islands" prominently displayed. Tyler tapped the option, and with a hum of energy, the portal opened—a swirling vortex of light and power.

To test the system, Tyler stepped through the portal and found himself instantly transported to the Cedar Islands’ teleportation hub. Satisfied with the flawless connection, he walked back through the portal to return to the Triangle Islands.

Tyler smirked, pleased with his work. He called the manager over and demonstrated the functionality of the new Waypoint Terminal. The manager’s awe was evident as he witnessed the seamless travel between islands. Tyler provided a brief explanation of its use and emphasized its importance for the trading center’s growth.

The next morning, Tyler regrouped with the girls, who were brimming with stories of their adventures on the island. Without wasting time, they prepared for their next destination: Rosefall Kingdom—or, as it was now known, The New Rose Kingdom.
