To Aelita's deafening declaration of slavery, Su Lin simply expressed a capitalist's approval.
Night fell.
The MC Dungeon now belonged to nocturnal hostile creatures like Zombies, and of course, it also belonged to Iron Golems.
It was Aelita's first day in the MC Dungeon, and she was curious about everything, with no intention of sleeping yet.
She lay by the window, staring intently at the Iron Golem, which was wreaking havoc among the Zombie horde, her gaze more infatuated than if she were looking at a lover.
Su Lin couldn't understand, nor did he want to understand, this mentally unstable Elf, so he returned to his bed to rest and recuperate.
Aelita, however, grew more and more astonished the more she watched.
That Iron Golem was far more powerful than she had imagined; it ran through the village, and any Zombies and Skeleton Archers it encountered were no match for its single blow.
Although, as Su Lin introduced, Zombies and Skeleton Archers were the most basic and lowest-level monsters commonly found in the MC Dungeon.
In terms of status, they were roughly equivalent to Goblins and Slimes on the Aetheram Continent, but Aelita had her own understanding after encountering them.
Judging from magic resistance, physical resistance, physical attack, and other aspects, these Zombies and Skeleton Archers were no weaker than Lv30 adventurers.
At the very least, they qualified as intermediate monsters.
Even so, they couldn't withstand a few hits from the Iron Golem.
Thinking this, Aelita increasingly felt that an Iron Golem made of thirty tons of iron was truly outrageous.
Hmm... just as outrageous as this MC Dungeon.
In the dead of night, amidst Su Lin's snores and the mechanical sounds of the Iron Golem swinging its arms, Aelita quietly pondered everything she had seen today.
Even though she already had a clear conclusion in her heart, she had to admit... the MC Dungeon was definitely a gift from the heavens for the rise of the Elven Kingdom. Whether it was the Bone Meal or that Iron Golem... they were enough to allow the besieged Elven Kingdom to catch its breath, and even sound the horn of counterattack. And these were just a tiny, insignificant corner of this outrageous Dungeon.
After all, Aelita had only been in the MC Dungeon for one day.
It was hard to imagine what level the Elven Kingdom could reach once it truly understood this Dungeon.
She looked back at Su Lin, who was sleeping sprawled out, completely without an ounce of grace.
He was a terrible fellow, without any empathy for a beautiful young girl, but... Su Lin, who was so familiar with the MC Dungeon, was also the hope bestowed upon the Elven Kingdom by the heavens. Having such a Dungeon guide was also a kind of luck.
"Just a few more days..."
Aelita murmured softly.
"At most two or three more days, then I must hurry back to inform my sisters..."
The current situation of the Elven Kingdom was truly not a time for her to quietly stay and develop the MC Dungeon.
She needed to make the Elven Kingdom realize the opportunities contained within this Dungeon as quickly as possible.
Aelita's gaze involuntarily focused on the Iron Golem.
She had seen the magic golems of the Armed Empire Doragon, and frankly, apart from being able to cast some spells, they were no match for the Iron Golem from any angle.
But as she watched, Aelita noticed a few monsters Su Lin had never mentioned.
They were slender and tall, like stick figures, completely black, almost blending into the night, with only their eyes glowing with purple light.
What concerned her most was... these monsters even possessed spatial abilities, teleporting here and there in the village.
Spatial abilities... Although not uncommon on the Aetheram Continent, as the Elven Kingdom had many spatial teleportation magic circles.
But this didn't mean spatial magic was common; at least, she couldn't use it, and only a few in the Elven Kingdom could.
Aelita was somewhat concerned, but considering Su Lin was already asleep, she felt it would be rude to wake him.
Moreover, monsters with spatial abilities were usually very difficult to deal with, and she had just taken a powerful punch from the Iron Golem, so she didn't dare to go out.
However, after noticing the Iron Golem killed the black monster with two punches, Aelita couldn't help but feel a little contempt.
"The monsters in this world are as stupid as the villagers..."
Aelita muttered with disdain.
They clearly had amazing spatial magic, yet they insisted on teleporting over to take a powerful punch.
The prestige of spatial magic was completely gone!
If the top spatial mages of the Midgard Magic Academy knew, they would surely come to clean up their own kind.
But it had to be said... even high-level spatial mages couldn't continuously use teleportation abilities without burden like these monsters.
"No wonder Grandpa Lop said those crazy mages always shout 'I'm not human anymore!'..."
"Behind! Big guy! There's a Skeleton Archer behind you! Hammer it!"
"That's it! Use your invincible righteous straight punch!"
Aelita was invigorated, sleepless all night, cheering for the Iron Golem's spectacular home runs from time to time... Soon, dawn broke.
Su Lin was dreaming that the MC Dungeon had become the number one Dungeon on the Aetheram Continent, and he himself had become a capitalist with millions of top adventurers working for him like cattle and horses.
Suddenly, he was shaken awake.
"Su Lin! Wake up! The sun's already high!"
His beautiful dream shattered like glass, and Su Lin slowly got up.
Now he finally understood why Cao Cao always told others, "I like to kill people in my dreams."
If he had a Diamond Sword at hand right now, he would definitely give Aelita a fashionable new hairstyle immediately.
"Don't sleep, come out and look! The Iron Golem has so many cracks on it!"
Aelita, completely oblivious to any danger, urged Su Lin, who reluctantly followed her out the door.
Sure enough, the Iron Golem wandering in the village was already covered in visible cracks.
Aelita was heartbroken.
"Su Lin, is it... dying?"
"Nonsense."
Su Lin rolled his eyes.
"The Iron Golem isn't invincible. It's perfectly normal for it to be injured after a night of high-intensity combat."
"Can it be saved?"
"Just repair it with Iron Ingots."
"Ah? It's that simple?"
Su Lin said nothing, stepping forward and quickly restoring the Iron Golem to its former glory.
After careful observation, confirming that all injuries had been repaired, Aelita praised sincerely.
"As expected of the MC Dungeon, it easily accomplished what was impossible on the Aetheram Continent."
This made the Iron Golem even more strategically valuable.
It could be made with thirty tons of iron, repaired with cheap Iron Ingots when injured, and even returned a few Iron Ingots when it died.
Environmentally friendly!
So environmentally friendly!
This was truly sustainable development!
"Oh, right!"
Aelita clapped her hands and pointed to the chest by the door.
"I collected all the monster drops, and also..."
She pulled out some round objects.
"Last night, the Iron Golem killed some unknown teleporting monsters, and they dropped these things."
"Ender Pearl?"
Su Lin was a little surprised.
This was the first time he had encountered an Enderman since he transmigrated, and this Enderman actually dropped an Ender Pearl directly?
He was quite lucky.
"Is this thing called an Ender Pearl?"
Aelita examined it carefully for a moment, then shook her head.
"It doesn't look like a pearl at all..."
Noticing Su Lin's somewhat fond expression, Aelita asked curiously?
"Is this thing very precious?"
"Of course, even on the Aetheram Continent, it's an incredible resource."
"Eh? Can such a stupid and weak monster actually drop such a treasure?"
Su Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at Aelita strangely.
"Weak?"
"Otherwise?"
Aelita said as if it were obvious.
"It clearly had spatial magic, yet it was beaten to death by the Iron Golem in two punches. It's terribly weak, alright!"
Su Lin retorted:
"It's just that you didn't go out last night and have a staring contest with an Enderman, otherwise I could be collecting your corpse right now."
"Damn it, are you looking down on This Queen's strength?"
Aelita raised her fist threateningly.
"That guy was hammered to death by the Iron Golem in two punches. If it were This Queen, it would only take four or five spells at most!"
"Nonsense."
Su Lin tapped Aelita's head.
"The Iron Golem would only need two punches to hammer you too."
"The high-attack, high-defense Iron Golem is a rare war god on the first floor of the MC Dungeon."
"If it were you, you probably wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of an Enderman's clothes. Do you understand the value of instant, no-cooldown, no-delay teleportation?!"
This Enderman was already a very difficult opponent.
Its 'staring' mechanism was enough to kill many adventurers who didn't understand the nature of Endermen.
Aelita naturally wouldn't doubt Su Lin, after all, he was the MC Dungeon guide.
However... yesterday, when she saw those Witches who threw terrifying magic potions, Su Lin didn't say a word about danger, and even the Iron Golem, the village's hammer god, Su Lin easily handled.
Only for the Enderman did he give a dangerous evaluation... This MC Dungeon was good, but wasn't it too dangerous!
It was only the first floor of the Dungeon, yet such outrageous monsters with spatial abilities appeared.
What about the deeper levels?
If not for Su Lin's guidance, if the Elven Kingdom developed the MC Dungeon on its own, it would probably suffer even heavier losses than with the previous Dungeon they developed.
Aelita's heart became increasingly clear.
The MC Dungeon was important, but Su Lin, who knew everything about it, was even more important!
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Su Lin spoke softly.
"This Ender Pearl has a magical ability."
"Ah?"
Aelita was startled, then saw Su Lin casually throw out an Ender Pearl.
The next moment, Su Lin instantly teleported to where the Ender Pearl landed.
"As you can see."
Looking at Aelita, who was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth, Su Lin chuckled:
"This thing allows people to teleport like an Enderman, even ordinary people..."
"!!!"
Aelita was so excited she was incoherent, her limbs feeling somewhat numb.
To allow anyone to have the ability to teleport... this was even more strategic than the Iron Golem!
If the Elven Kingdom could extensively arm itself with Ender Pearls, wouldn't it be... "Su Lin!"
Swinging her twin pigtails, Aelita ran to his side, her voice excited.
"This Queen... This Queen has..."
"If you're going to say you have another bold idea, then please spare me."
Aelita's next words abruptly stopped, leaving only a deathly silence in the air.
Melancholy spread in Su Lin's heart.
This Elf was a bit too aggressive...
