Chapter 43. What Was This Button For?
The Mushroom Man had survived for so many years in the dangerous Andaheim, and their intelligence was unquestionable.
Their average IQs were very high.
After all, the Dark Elves were a bunch of idiot.
Therefore, he wanted to escape as if he had gone crazy.
In addition to money trading, they were also good at excavating ancient ruins.
There was a type of metal called Khorium that only existed in Andaheim. It was the main magic-conducting metal of the last era, no less than the Mithril of today. Most of the Khorium were hidden in Andaheim or deeper into it, but those places had no light and were difficult to mine.
The Dark Elves had tried using magic to light up the place, but all of them would trigger the explosion of the magic power that had been dormant for tens of thousands of years around Khorium, causing explosions and landslides.
In comparison, the Mushroom Man had a natural advantage.
Their heads glowed, and it was a cold light source, a natural searchlight. Coupled with their outstanding intelligence and petite bodies that were not easily broken, the archaeologists of the Mushroom Man had also brought the technology to discover the ruins to the surface.
In such a large fighting club, the timed flame-spraying device under the iron net, the rotating neon lights, the alarm outside the circle, and even the magic phonograph that played music were all man-made by Maica.
Maica could have bought it from other places, but even among the same race, the Mushroom Man wanted to make a lot of money. He could not be bothered to pay for it, so he did it himself.
Thus, he was very confident.
With the heritage of the last era's civilization and high IQ, he seemed to be standing on the shoulders of giants looking down on these small races.
They could not understand the complicated and exquisite mechanism design. Even if they did, they would not be able to find the rules and design, let alone find the illegal immigrants he had hidden.
Feel the crushing power of intelligence, you bunch of scum!
Until Char suddenly asked, "What's this button for?"
A button?
Maica was shocked and quickly rushed to the source of the sound.
"No..."
His voice was like a pot of boiling water.
"You... Come down quickly! Don't touch that!"
He was so shocked that his small eyes were completely wide open. How did that Half-elf do that?
Char was standing on a table, and above her was an open ceiling. A control panel hung down from it, and there was only one big red button on it.
Strictly speaking, there was a line of words from the previous era written under the button. Michael had only mastered 10 - 20% of it, but he knew what the line meant...
Activate the self-destruct sequence!
The underground fighting club hidden in the shanty town was actually a car. A mobile base vehicle excavated from ancient ruins. It was much more powerful than steam locomotives and carriages. It was a car when it ran, but it was a small base when it took root. As long as there was enough energy, it could go wherever it wanted.
As long as they dug a 30-meter-deep pit at the destination, buried the car, and pressed the launch button, an underground space that could accommodate nearly a thousand people could be built in an hour.
This was his biggest secret, and also the biggest secret of the Astan City's fight club.
He had applied for a large amount of funds from the headquarters for the construction of the venue, all of which went into his own pocket because of the existence of the MCV!
However...
How did this Half-elf find the self-destruction button so easily?
I've already hidden it on the ceiling and you still won't let it go? Are you crazy! Why lift the ceiling?
"Quickly come down!"
Maica's pupils dilated in anxiety.
The others also rushed over.
The floor of the room was in the shape of a black and white checkered chess board, and every piece was very big.
Other than Mia, everyone else was standing on a white square.
Char was on the table, and Evelyn was holding the table for him.
"What happened? Char, why are you standing on the table?"
"Mr. Maica, didn't you say you weren't hiding anything? what's with this big button?"
"Damn it, all of you shut up!"
All of Maica's attention was on the button, and his mind was spinning quickly.
"Don't touch it, Char. I can promise you anything, as long as you don't touch it. I'll give you all the money you earned yesterday, no, the day before yesterday! As long as you don't touch it!"
"You have to tell me what it's used for. Why are you so nervous?" Char asked.
"Because it consumes a lot of energy! Maica's could not even speak properly. "Then... Then light up all the lights! It can't be turned off until it's burnt! Yes, that's it. This will cost me a lot of money! You can't afford it!"
"I see. I want to take a look!"
Char pressed the switch.
"Beep"
[Self-destruction program activated. Countdown of 10 minutes.]
The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and all the self-illuminating objects lit up with a scarlet light. It flickered and reflected Maica's ferocious face.
The Mushroom Man only hesitated for a second before he rushed to the cabinet on the right with a speed that did not match his own. He opened the cabinet and twisted a clay pot.
His speed was so fast that the others did not have time to react. They heard a few cracking sounds and the white grid under Simon and the other three's feet disappeared. They were caught off guard and fell.
Judging from the sound of water, his life would not be in danger for a while.
As the owner of the MCV, this was just one of the insignificant means prepared by Maica. At the same time as he turned the earthen jar, a bottle of liquid that emitted a faint purple light appeared in his other hand. He threw it heavily on the ground!
Bang! Bang!
The medicine bottle shattered, and the smell of durians spread in the air.
Mia hurriedly held the cross pendant tightly and summoned a shield.
"Char, come in quickly! Why are there four of you? I'm so dizzy!"
Before the girl could finish her sentence, she fell down limply, and the shield that had lost its support disappeared in an instant.
Char hurriedly jumped down and let Mia fall into his arms.
"You did it on purpose." The Dark Elves were jealous.
"Are you jealous? Let me give you a hug? The power of the holy light won't burn you to death."
Char made a face at the Dark Elf and put her down on a chair.
Maica watched as he walked back and forth in the purple mist.
He said, "You..."
"What me?"
"No..."
"Yes?" Char replied.
"No, I mean... How did you..."
"You're so annoying!" Evelyn glared at Char and threw a small bottle in front of Maica.
"There. This is the reason why we are still standing!"
A few minutes ago, Char took out a small bottle of medicine from a set of armor on the shelf. Evelyn understood that it was most likely an antidote to the purple mist.
As for why he knew so much, who cared? It was not the first time anyway.
"So... So what if the numbing agent can be removed!"
Maica sat on the ground dejectedly.
"It's over. It's all over. Dying from self-destruction is just a joke. I'll just die, anyway!"
"What nonsense are you saying?"
Char smiled and pressed the red button twice.
"Ding dong..."
[Self-destruction program has been shut down.]
"Eh?"
