Chapter 002: Time Villa Upgrade

The big shot didn't refuse; he nodded gracefully, closed the portal, sat down beside Wang Bo, picked up a mirror lychee, peeled it, and began to eat.

"A sweet and noble flavor, intense sweetness without any cloying, and a texture as light as cotton candy," the big shot savored as he ate. "This is quite good. What world does it come from?"

"Toriko," Wang Bo answered honestly.

The big shot smiled slightly and turned to Wang Bo. "Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm."

"Yes, big shot. No problem, big shot," Wang Bo nodded.

"Don't call me big shot. You can call me Ancient One, or you can call me teacher," said the big shot, Ancient One.

Wang Bo looked at the big shot in astonishment, as if understanding something, and tentatively asked, "Time Stone?"

Ancient One nodded, confirming Wang Bo's guess. "Yesterday I noticed a change in the future, so I used the Infinity Stone and saw the future where I meet you."

Wang Bo was first stunned, then enlightened.

The Marvel world had many spells, among which the Mirror Dimension and portals were definitely what Wang Bo coveted.

Although Wang Bo already had teleportation, it could only move him around on Earth.

Slightly farther distances were impossible.

For example, the moon.

Even if Wang Bo consumed all his magic power, he couldn't teleport himself to the moon.

The distance was simply too great.

But portals were different. In Avengers: Endgame, after Doctor Strange was resurrected, he brought the resurrected Spider-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy to the battlefield.

And behind them was the dusty planet Titan.

This proved that Doctor Strange's portals could not only transport large numbers of people but also perform cross-galaxy ultra-long-distance teleportation, much faster than spaceship space jumps.

So Wang Bo figured that if he could ensure his own safety in the future, he would definitely seek out Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, to learn the Mirror Dimension and portals.

But unexpectedly, before he could act, Ancient One had already come to him.

Tsk, was seeing the future really that impressive?

Wang Bo thought carefully; it seemed that seeing the future really was that impressive.

If he could see the future, he wouldn't need to search for transmigrators; just a few glances into the future might reveal them.

Even if he could see the future, he would know what he would get from a lottery draw and could decide whether to draw or not.

Damn, thinking about it, the Time Stone seemed very useful to him.

Ancient One seemed to see through Wang Bo's thoughts and shook her head. "The Eye of Agamotto is reserved for Strange. Besides, in your future draws, you might just draw the Eye of Agamotto."

Wang Bo: ...Even the lottery is known.

"So, big shot, you know all about my origins."

Ancient One said, "What do you think?"

What else could Wang Bo say? Someone who could see the future was truly impressive and could do whatever they wanted!

After eating a few mirror lychees, Ancient One also tried the Rainbow Fruit and BB Popcorn, then said, "Give me a serving of Century Soup."

"Sure," Wang Bo ordered a serving of Century Soup from the Gourmet Tablecloth.

But Wang Bo immediately realized, Big shot, your character is breaking! You're not supposed to be a foodie! Your aura is dropping fast!

Ancient One leisurely savored the Century Soup and said, "In my long years, there haven't been many delicacies. Compared to Century Soup, indeed, every world has its own miracles."

As she spoke, she drew a small portal about a dozen centimeters in diameter with her right hand, reached in, and took out several books, placing them before Wang Bo.

"These are the basics of Kamar-Taj. Study them yourself. Also, take this as a gift."

With that, she placed a sling ring in front of Wang Bo.

Then, she picked up the Complete Book of Magic Spells. "I'll take this spellbook back. Although I've long known that besides our own multiverse, there are other multiverses, I've never seen them. This time, let me see the magic of another world."

Having said that, Ancient One stood up, casually drew a portal, and gracefully returned to Kamar-Taj.

Wang Bo: ...

As expected of a big shot, coming and going without a trace. Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

After breakfast, Wang Bo put away the Gourmet Tablecloth, took out the Time Villa and the Well of the Woodcutter from the Fourth-Dimensional Pocket, and threw the Time Villa into the Well of the Woodcutter.

Soon, the Spring Goddess appeared, holding a miniature Time Villa, and asked, "Is this the house you lost?"

Wang Bo shook his head. "I lost a big one."

The Time Villa Wang Bo threw into the Well of the Woodcutter was about the height of a person, but the upgraded version the Spring Goddess brought out was only the size of a palm.

"You are an honest person. Then I'll give this to you."

Wang Bo took the miniature Time Villa, placed it on the table, then picked up the magic book Ancient One had given him and crawled into the Time Villa.

At the same time, Wang Bo was surprised to find that the upgraded Time Villa had not only shrunk in appearance.

More importantly, the space inside had expanded.

The place was already huge, with a beach, a villa, and an endless sea, but now Wang Bo found it even larger.

The beach had expanded at least tenfold, and the sea had become even more exaggerated. It could accommodate not just one whale but a whole pod of whales without any problem.

Besides that, the already luxurious villa had turned into an even more extravagant palace.

Wang Bo's eyes went wide.

Moreover, interestingly, after the upgrade, the time flow inside the Time Villa had changed again.

Originally, one day inside the villa equaled one hour outside.

But now, two days inside the villa equaled one hour outside.

In other words, for one day outside, forty-eight days would pass inside. It was definitely a great place. But such a large area would be troublesome to clean. Fortunately, Wang Bo had a solution.

He took out a parchment contract from the Fourth-Dimensional Pocket, summoned several demons skilled in gardening, gave them a job, and tasked them with managing the Time Villa.

The demons exchanged glances and nodded. One of them said, "Rest assured, master. We will keep your residence spotlessly clean."

Wang Bo nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. "Alright, you may go to work now."

The demons nodded and vanished in an instant.
