I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 44. You've Suffered a Loss Due to Your Lack of Culture

"Eh?"

Maica jumped up.

The red light also stopped flashing.

The alarm had stopped.

The red button was still in Char's hand.

If it was not for the fact that a few people were missing and the Priestess was sleeping on the chair, it would be as if none of this had ever happened!

"That... That program..."

"A single click is to activate it. Double click is to de-activate it."

Char pressed it again.

"Beep."

[Self-destruction program activated. Countdown of 10 minutes.]

"Click. Click."

"Ding dong..."

[Self-destruction program has been shut down.]

"Do you want to try again?"

"No! How did you know?"

"It's written here. Self-destruct sequence. Click to start. Double click off. Click four times to switch off the alarm. Long press to enter custom mode. You can't even understand these?"

"You can understand those words?"

"Of course."

Even though the words in the game would automatically be translated into a familiar language once they were learned, Char was too free. There were no foreign language textbooks in the game, so he simply used the physical method of reading and remembering to bypass the rules and learn the ancient words.

Maica looked at Char in a daze, with all kinds of emotions in his eyes.

However, most of it was regret.

He felt sorry for himself.

He regretted not studying the ancient characters properly.

He was the one who found the MCV, but he did not report it.

When they left Andaheim, all of them had to submit their property to the registration system and pay the storage and teleportation fees according to their value.

As well as buying teleportation insurance.

This was a huge expense.

Maica knew that this thing would be valued at a high price, so he covered the words under the button with a special dye and hid the fact that it was a MCV. He lied that it was a remote-controlled self-destructing car from the ancient Khorium ruins, and finally successfully brought it to Astan City.

A wise man from the Mushroom Clan once said, "If you made a mistake and you aren't immediately punished, it'll appear again in front of you one day in the future."

Maica did not believe this in the past...

"What do you want to do?"

Maica looked at Char.

This was the person!

He was even worse than the most vicious Dark Elf Queen! He was still pretending! He must know the secret of the MCV!

"Me?" Char scratched his face. "I'm not going to beat around the bush, I want this car."

"You knew it! You..."

"So you're giving it to me?"

"Impossible!"

Char laughed, he knew that would be the answer.

It was not that he had not asked for it in his past reincarnations, but it was only after he had a certain amount of wealth.

In the past, Maica's price for this car was two precious metal mines that could be mined for more than 30 years and a promise of priority purchase right.

The control core of the car was engraved with Maica's name, so he had the authority. Even if he was dead and nailed in the coffin, he would still shout with his rotten vocal cords in the grave, saying that the car belonged to him.

Therefore, he could not take it by force and could only think of a way to do it. There was still a chance now that Maica was out of it.

If he could get this car in advance, it would be more convenient for him to do anything in the future.

Char had been dealing with Maica for many years, and he knew that he could not talk about money or life when dealing with this guy.

The Mushroom Man were one of the most stubborn races. They would rather give up their original home in order to not waste their lives, and they would rather sell the entire world in pursuit of money. To them, he could only continuously offer him a fair price. He could not force his way through.

Char thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you three pieces of information. Give me a price."

"I'm not selling regardless of what information you're giving me!"

"What about Mayenne?"

Maica's expression changed slightly, and his small eyes opened a little.

"You know him?"

Zin'rokh had deposited Mayenne here on behalf of Fredrick. If Char admitted it, it would be equivalent to admitting the biggest secret of the Gold Association.

Although Maica was a stingy b*stard, there were a few things that were equally important in his heart.

The few things were his secret of betraying the whole world, self-destruct of his MCV, and bankruptcy.

These three matters were probably on par with each other, and they were all big enough to make him open his eyes.

"I can make up an answer and see if you believe it or not." Char laughed, neither denying nor confirming. "I'm saying, do you know why Luke left and returned?"

"He can't live alone out there. I provide him food here."

"Ha... You really think too highly of yourself. He's the Sealing Medium for Mayenne."

Char's words made Maica fall into deep thought. He did not say anything for a long time, and his vision was blocked by his mushroom head.

When he raised his head again, his eyes were half-open.

"If the other two pieces of information are of the same value, I can consider it."

Well...

"The second one is the whereabouts of the other half of the Hand of Midas blueprint."

"What? Oh, you actually know about this!"

Maica stood up in excitement! He circled around the same spot a few times, mumbling madly, "You actually know about this, don't you?"

The Hand of Midas was a legendary glove blessed by God. As long as one wore it, anything they touched would turn into gold. For the Mushroom Clan, it was an existence that was no less powerful than Mystletainn, Narshil, and Gungnir. It was even more powerful than the latter.

'However, how can I be sure that he's not lying?'

"Let's talk about it together with the third condition. In three months and four days, there will be chaos in Andaheim, and one-third of the Light Forest will be affected. The ruins of the Hand of Midas are there, and you can come with me. "

Maica was shocked once again!

Then, he quickly followed Char's train of thought.

"You want me to take the MCV?"

"Yes, but it'll become my MCV. I can also promise to help you find the Hand of Midas, but the premise is that you give me the MCV. I won't swear, and I won't write a contract, in case you guys take advantage of me."

"Then what's there to talk about?" Maica said angrily, "No way!"

"If you don't agree, I'll go to Makus City and find Franco. I believe he'll agree." Char shrugged. "I'll also tell him about the entrance to the Siege City. You should know what's hidden inside, right?"

"The Seige City! Franco! What the hell? You must have been sent by the Seven Holy Spirits to punish me, right?"

Maica was so angry that he grabbed a cup and threw it on the ground.

However, after venting his anger, he felt some lingering fear.

Char's omniscience was beyond his acceptance, and he was more inclined to believe that he was telling the truth.

There were so many towns around Astan City, and all of them had branches of the fight club, and each of them had a Mushroom Man in charge. However, when he mentioned Franco...

Makus City's Mushroom Man, Franco, was in charge of the registration of the transfer of property.

As an accomplished Alchemist, Franco had noticed that there was a strange smell on the self-destructing MCV and asked for an inspection, but Maica had bribed a teleporter to send it in advance.

After all, he was an out-and-out fan of cars.

Franco's dream was to go to the legendary Ancient City of Machinery, the Siege City, and find the blueprints of the Hand of Midas there.

The Hand of Midas was a shapeshifting steel giant that emitted the glow of gold coins. It was also the ultimate dream of Franco.

If Char really did know the entrance to the Siege City, he would definitely agree to go regardless of whether it was real or fake.

The legendary Eighth Holy Spirit, Siege, the God of Machinery, was besieged by the Seven Holy Spirits until he died in Siege City. It was said that there was a powerful gem that could control all mechanical creations, and it would be easy to deprive a simple MCV's authority.

In other words, if he did not agree, he might give it to him for free.

If this had not happened half an hour ago, he would have rejected these ridiculous words. What a joke. 'You want me, Lord Maica, to submit with just your words?'

However, after experiencing so many things, he was getting more and more flustered.

He felt like Char knew everything.

His experience and knowledge were completely crushed, and Maica was out of breath.

He stomped his feet after thinking about it.

"Fine! I promise you!"
