I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

Chapter 7. What Was a Surprise?

Char picked up the compass and fiddled with it.

It was a small black box with a classic design. There was a brass lock on one side, and it looked very sharp.

No matter how he turned it, the needle of this thing stuck close to the dial, as if there was a magnet below it.

Actually, the way to reset it is very simple.

Char said slowly, and Maica stretched out his ears.

"As long as you find the last person who used it and make him say the words long-cherished wish is fulfilled, you can immediately deactivate the settings."

"Then you're not talking nonsense in vain!" Maica said angrily, and his voice attracted a few disgusted gazes from the surrounding people.

"Be quiet, Mia."

"But what if I can find this person?" Char laughed.

"No other conditions?" Maica frowned.

"No."

"You're that kind?"

"Sigh, why do you always doubt me?" Char sighed. "If you don't believe me, you can just say your long-cherished wish is fulfilled."

"Long-cherished wish... Wait?"

Maica jumped on the table excitedly and looked down at Char, his eyes half-open.

"Did you say 'I'?"

Did you scratch your hand when you found this thing in a Khorium Ruins? "

Mia was silent.

Who the hell would remember if there was such a thing?

"Then say why didn't you bury this damn thing deeper?"

Maica was shocked.

"Could it be that?"

"Yes, that's exactly it. That's why it thinks you want to go to the deeper parts. It means deeper underground literally. Here, no matter how you point, the needle will always point down, unless..."

Char tilted the compass to 90 degrees, and the needle left the dial and went straight down.

Maica swallowed.

After a brief hesitation, he said carefully in a trembling voice, "My long-cherished wish has come true?"

This sentence seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. The needle began to spin quickly, and finally slowed down, but it was still spinning.

Maica reached out to grab it, but Char dodged it.

"I forgot to mention that this thing can only be used once by each person."

He smiled and cut his finger with the brass lock on the side of the black box, then said, "Ortlinde."

The needle quickly turned and pointed in a certain direction.

Char looked over and was relieved.

There was no one in this direction, and it was directly facing a wall. The needle's rotation was insignificant. It was obvious that Ortlinde was moving slowly in the far direction.

"Char!" Maica lowered his voice and shouted. You're scheming Against Me!"

"What's that old adage of yours again? The wise are born to calculate, and only the fools are calculative. Don't be a sore loser now. "I meant it when I said I'll save you. You might not have thought about who would find this thing," Char said, shaking the small box in his hand. "Other than making the previous user speak, the other method is to kill him. Don't tell me you think that they won't be able to find you?"

Maica could not help but shiver.

He did not even know what he was thinking back then. If the buyer really came to find him, he was afraid that the only way out was to be killed.

However, a problem came with it.

How did Char know?

Alright, this was not even a problem.

Some questions had been brought up too many times and were no longer as important.

After weighing the pros and cons, Maica realized that he had made a profit this time-a small amount of gold coins was more important than his precious life.

With the item in hand, Char was too lazy to waste any more time in the auction house.

​ Most of the equipment on Evelyn's hands were things she had brought along when she escaped from Andaheim. There were only a few that were truly valuable. Even the Dark Elf did not care about them, and he was too lazy to retrieve them for her.

As for the other dispute that was neither big nor small, he would have to use another method to get back at it.

"We should go," Char said to Maica.

The Mushroom Man was stunned for a second, but he quickly reacted.

"When you say leave, you mean..."

"We had an agreement."

"Now?"

"Now." Char smiled. "But you have ten minutes to inform your friends who are waiting to give me a surprise outside the city. Then, you can come back and bring your luggage. Although we are going the same way, we are not going together."

Maica's squinted eyes suddenly widened!

How could he let the other party know about this?

He had indeed gone to find his friends, and just as Char had said, they were prepared to give him a surprise.

When he drove the MCV away, they would use the latest paralyzing agent from the gnomes to put Char down, and let him understand the consequences of offending the ancient.

He was very sure that this matter had not been exposed. Each of them had sworn an oath to their wealth! Unless some bastard really wanted to be cut off from gold coins for the rest of his life.

However, what was going on?

What was the reason?

"Are you surprised? A surprise is right, I have more surprises for you. In the future, when you see what I have promised you and open that door, I think you will thank me. "

Char smiled.

He had been tricked by this guy more than once or twice, so he had experience. His sworn friends would never betray him, but he could not imagine what Char had been through.

He was vague, but Maica understood.

The entrance of the Hand of Midas and the encirclement of Siege City soldiers.

There was no such thing as the latter in their original agreement, but he had thrown it out so easily now.

It looks like a...

This was just an insignificant secret.

Maica finally became obedient.

He had received too many surprises, and it had already turned into shock.

The Mushroom Man left the table in a daze, met up with his Ogre bodyguards, and walked out.

John cast a puzzled look but did not ask further.

The reason why others were so vague was because they did not want him to know. Being able to listen was already a great approval, and he wouldn't touch this bad luck.

This former first mate of his was well-read in emotional intelligence.

"Captain Drake is still on his way."

He mentioned it indifferently.

"I know. He's in a very subtle place right now."

Char stood up. I'll borrow your crew scarf from back then.

John was slightly stunned, but he still handed him a hat.

[First Mate's Headscarf]

[You look like you'll be able to win the sailors' favor.]

[Crew reputation +1000]

[However, he could also be wanted by the Navy.]

[Navy reputation: Hostility]

Any NPC's private clothes, even if the gender was not suitable, would have a certain disguise effect.

Char did not know if this would be of any use to her. After all, he didn't know what state the Valkyrie was in and how much of her memories she had recovered.

However, he still had to make preparations.

He put on his headscarf and dragged Apple Pie out of the auction house.
