Master Inventor from Hunter x Hunter

"You guys can just go cool off somewhere else!"

If he weren't worried about overstepping his bounds, Phinks would've already reached out with a dismissive wave, shooing them away.

"What, afraid someone might not even know the way and end up leading themselves straight into a garbage dump?"

Uvogin shot back without missing a beat: "And who knows, maybe they're harboring some nasty intentions and schemes, up to no good."

"We're genuinely concerned for Mog's safety here!"

"Oh, really?!" Phinks sneered. "Looks to me like the ones with shady intentions are you lot. You've followed him all the way to his doorstep!"

"What, is this your house or something? If a piece of trash like you can show up, why can't I?"

"What did you say?!"

Seeing the two of them practically breathing fire and about to tear into each other again, Feitan and Machi, seasoned by experience, stepped between them.

Calmly, they pried the two apart.

"Enough, stop fighting. All of you, come in."

Just then, Mog, who had entered first, called out from inside.

Uvogin and Phinks exchanged one last vicious glare before filing in one after the other.

The moment he stepped through the door, Phinks felt how cramped it really was.

Mog hadn't been wrong—his house was indeed small.

Like Nobita's second-floor room, it barely had space for the [Super Mini Rice Field] used to grow rice.

Add in all these people and a shabby bed, and it felt even more crowded.

But that wasn't the point. After giving the place a quick once-over, Phinks' gaze, along with everyone else's, locked onto the new object in Mog's hand.

"Those things... are they building blocks?"

Uvogin, ever blunt, blurted out the question.

"On the surface, they're a pile of blocks..."

Mog picked up one piece from a box of blocks he'd [invented] nearby, weighing it in his hand.

"This is the newly expanded floor room."

He smiled, placing the house-shaped block on the ground.

"Floor room?"

Uvogin instinctively looked up at the ceiling, which nearly brushed the top of his head.

"Isn't this just a single-story house? You don't even have a second floor."

"Hold on, you'll have one soon~"

Mog lifted the block roof shaped like a single-story house, then picked up another block resembling a middle floor and set it on top.

After placing the roof block back down, it now looked like a two-story building.

"Are you just stacking blocks higher or what..."

Uvogin tilted his head. "They're just blocks, not your actual hou—"

Creak, creak.

Before he could finish, he felt the same tug on his clothes.

"Huh?!"

Knowing only Machi would pull at his sleeve, Uvogin shut his mouth and quickly scanned the room.

And then~~~

"Where the hell did those stairs come from?!"

Uvogin stared at the staircase that hadn't been there before but now seemed to have materialized out of thin air in the corner of the room, shouting in shock.

What stunned him even more was that it wasn't just the stairs.

At the top of the staircase, where it connected, there appeared to be an extra floor added.

"How is that possible?!"

Refusing to believe it, Uvogin immediately stomped up the stairs.

And then~~~

"It's real?!"

Reaching the second floor, he saw with his own eyes the extra layer of space, with floors cleaner and tidier than the ones below.

Uvogin felt like his eyes and brain were malfunctioning.

What he was seeing and the knowledge and understanding of this world stored in his mind...

Seemed to have nothing in common at all.

The two sides were completely out of sync.

"Did we really match one layer?!!"

Uvogin's shout was naturally heard clearly by the others below.

Phinks clicked his tongue, then quickly turned his gaze to the blocks in Mog's hands.

Without a doubt, these changes were all caused by the blocks Mog held.

He simply added one layer to the blocks, and the corresponding house in the real world outside actually gained a floor as well.

This ability to effortlessly alter reality...

Phinks felt his mouth go dry and instinctively licked his lips.

His gaze toward Mog grew intensely fervent.

How could anyone not yearn to possess such power?!!

Machi and Feitan, upon hearing Uvogin's shout, paused for a moment.

Then, without a word, they pushed open the door and stepped outside.

"There's no change to the outside floors..."

From outside Mog's house, the two saw the same ordinary, unremarkable little shack.

No outward sign of an extra layer at all.

But inside, there was indeed an added floor~~~

"A power capable of confusing space?!"

Feitan's narrow, fox-like eyes glimmered with light.

This world was starting to get interesting~!!

Chapter 027 [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box]

Machi silently assessed the contrast between the inside and outside of the house.

The impact on her was no less than on Uvogin, Phinks, and Feitan.

"The inside has an extra floor, but the outside shows nothing at all..."

Though she was young and lacked the vocabulary to understand dimensions and spatial changes, This highly deceptive [invention] was incredibly practical!!

"The upper and lower spaces are exactly the same..."

When Machi and Feitan re-entered the house and closed the door, Uvogin came down from the second floor, clicking his tongue.

"And it's even cleaner than down here."

Both the floor area and layout of the second floor were identical to the ground floor.

"Because the added floor is based on this house, so whatever the first floor looks like, the second floor looks the same."

Mog smiled, pulling the [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box] block floor out of the block house.

Instantly, the staircase leading to the second floor vanished from the room.

Naturally, the extra second floor disappeared along with it.

Invention: [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box]

Source: Doraemon World—Future Technology Company.

Effect: Using the current room's floor as a base, each added block layer actually adds a floor to the existing room, increasing it only in dimensional space without altering the external appearance.

This was the [invention] obtained based on Phinks' earlier [request] to improve the house.

It could add more floors to the house, providing more space, but the space was templated on the current room.

In other words, the floors added by the [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box] were modeled after the floor where the user was standing.

Just like when Mog set it up in his small house, the new block floor matched the area and layout of the room he was in.

In the Doraemon world, when Doraemon used this gadget, he was in Nobita's room on the second floor of Nobita's house.

So the added floors were all templated on Nobita's room, with the same area and layout, not the first floor.

Moreover, the added floors only appeared inside the room, completely invisible from outside.

This also provided excellent concealment.

"So, if the house is small, the expanded floors are small, and the bigger the house, the bigger the added floors..."

This logic wasn't hard to grasp; everyone understood.

"So, if we could find a bigger house and add a few more floors..."

Phinks thought of this, his eyes lighting up: "Then we'd have a huge hidden space, like a secret base!!"

Well, any man—or teenage boy—could never resist the allure of a secret base!!

"But in Meteor City, besides the elders' residences, where is there such a big house..."
