I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 113. Happy Cooperation

"Three, two, one... Hello, boss!"

The four mushrooms stood neatly and bowed to Char together.

They looked like four mushroom caps floating in the air.

Mia was caught off guard and was shocked. If she was not holding Char, she might have thrown a [Holy Explosion] at them.

"Tsk, you four didn\'t run."

Char gestured for Mia to put him down on the recliner and teased, " "I thought you would use the same trick you used on the Dark Elves to deal with Evie. Fortunately, you\'re not that stupid."

Although the Dark Elves had been targeting the Mushmen in Andaheim, over time, they had developed a way to deal with the Dark Elves. They would praise and enchant the Dark Elves with all their might.

It could be said that the Mushmen who evacuated from Andahaim had two faces. One was for survival, and the other was for money. The former was flattering, and the latter was mean.

However, if they really did that, it was hard to say how Evelyn would treat them.

After all, she hated the traditions of the Dark Elves.

"We won\'t do that," Brown mushroom head Brian replied, embarrassed. "Miss Evelyn is different from those Dark Elves..."

"It\'s good that you know." Char coughed and smiled. "There was a temporary change in our contract..e."

The four suddenly became nervous!

When it came to the exploration and property of the ruins issues he was most concerned about, Brian could not care less about his fear and immediately shouted, "Y-you can\'t change the contract! This is the dignity of the ancient!"

"Yes, you can\'t do this!"

"Although you\'re our boss..."

"..."

Char waited for them to finish their chatter and snapped his fingers without explaining.

Instantly, the spoils of war from the Khorium ruins fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a small mountain was piled up on the floor of the cockpit.

There were scrolls, books, potion formulas, skill books, and all types of antique sculptures labeled as \'luxury\' from the Krypton civilization. Some had been appraised, and some had not.

After all, he got the Duke title for free, and the latter did not necessarily know everything.

However, the four in front of him were different. They specialized in alchemy, enchantment, inscription, and the appraisal of magical equipment. Naturally, Char did not go to the Khorium ruins just to add points to his attributes. He still had to make use of these four free labor and try to earn some cash.

In the face of this sudden wealth, the four were stunned.

"The \'change of contract\' I was talking about is that you don\'t have to risk your lives exploring the ruins. I\'ve brought back some valuable spoils of war, which is enough for you to study..."

"But," Char kept the items and smiled at them. "Observation and research are not free."

The four of them had no objections to this decision. The four mushroom heads gathered and discussed among themselves.

They were still using their own password.

The Mushmen were all encryption experts. Their sensitivity to numbers made their brains like a decoder, and the ciphertexts they heard could be translated in almost seconds. It was also to prevent enemies with high perception from overhearing the discussion. For example, Mia was confused about what these Mushmen were talking about.

After a while, they finished talking.

"Dear Mr. Char," Brian said.

"Tsk, you\'ve even changed the way you address me?"

At least they didn\'t have to call him "boss" anymore.

"Ah... You\'re our distinguished customer. Of course, we can\'t call you that anymore." Brian\'s expression was a little grim. "Since you\'ve gone to the Khorium ruins and brought back so many spoils of war, we hope to make an honest deal. For example, you didn\'t mention the most crucial [Hand of Maedas]. We want to know the reason."

"Simple. Because I\'m not free."

"Huh?"

"I don\'t have the time to care about your most precious treasure... But I did find traces of it. I will provide you with the information, but as for how to find it is up to you." Char replied.

Brian and the others looked at each other and fell into a discussion again.

In fact, Char wasn\'t lying. He really didn\'t have the time.

From the moment Ortlinde rode her dragon to attack him, things came one after another, not giving him any time to find the Hand of Maedas.

The blueprint was a puzzle made up of more than 20 pieces, each of which was hidden deep in the Khorium ruins. The location was random, and the difficulty was comparable to looking for the plot outline. After weighing the pros and cons, Char only chose these spoils of war to whet the appetite of the Mushmen. The purpose was to trick them into opening an office of the Khorium Explorer Association in Golden Butterfly City so that it would be convenient for the players to move around and intercept the United Holy Kingdom.

Khorium ruins were now open to the public, and as the number of products increased, it was bound to attract many buyers. It had a huge impact on the advancement of technology. Rather than letting the United Holy Kingdom have the prize, it was better to let the Mushmen interfere.

He was the best at fanning the flames.

Of course, the Mushmen would have thought of this, but they did not have that understanding for the time being. They felt the most precious thing in the Khorium ruins was the formula of the Golden Hand and nothing else. After weighing the pros and cons, they might not necessarily join. What Char wanted to do was drag them down by force.

Seeing that the four had no answer, Char coughed and brought up the main event again.

"Here\'s a drawing of the Titan Giant."

His voice fell to the ground as lightly as the drawing.

However, to the Mushmen, it was like an atomic bomb that exploded in his heart!

T-Titan Giant!?

Brian\'s eyes widened in shock. He stepped forward and held the drawing bigger than him, his eyes full of stun and greed.

"This..."

"Is this true?" asked White.

"I don\'t know, but at least it deceived me!"

Brian\'s small eyes were solemn. He carefully folded the drawing and handed it back to Char.

"This is a serious matter. We have to ask the City of Wealth for instructions and let them choose a researcher who can understand the drawings to help us."

"There\'s no need to choose. Franco from Mucuos City will do. He loves cars as much as his life. There\'s no one more suitable than him. I\'ve permitted you to use the magic communication device," Char said. "You can use it in the communication room on the second floor. If you\'re worried about exposing the short-wave password of the City of Wealth, you can destroy the device after you\'re done using it and make a new one."

Brian looked at him deeply, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"I will, Sir."

"Oh right, there\'s a modified Dark-robed Magic Puppet parked outside. Help me take it apart, maintain its parts, and store them in the warehouse. Repair the [Heart of Magic Puppet] too. If the City of Wealth decides to send someone over, make sure they bring some [S.P.R. Drink], [Magic Engine Oil], and [All-purpose Repair Liquid], enough for at least ten units. I\'ll buy them at the market price."

Brian wanted to say that these jobs were not within the scope of the contract, but when he thought of the tip of the iceberg the other party had just shown, he felt a little frightened.

"We will complete the mission and pass on the message."

"Then let\'s have a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

...

After seeing the four Mushmen leave, Char let out a long sigh of relief.

There was nothing better than oppressing this group of Mushmen, who was famous for oppressing their labor force.

At this moment, Evelyn\'s voice came from the shadows.

"You should rest, Char."

Mia was shocked and immediately grabbed Char\'s hand.

She looked at the slowly approaching woman with vigilance.

"W-what are you doing?"

The Dark Elf turned a blind eye to Char\'s actions and went forward to hold his other hand. She lifted her head, her eyes unyielding.

"Heal him."

Char: "???"
