Opening the window, the two slipped into the monitoring room. The room itself was not monitored, only filled with machinery and masses of data cables. I found the main power source and pulled out the plug slightly. Covering my hands with my sleeves, I held the iron bar I had just found and inserted it between the plug and the socket, causing the neutral and live wires to touch and short-circuit automatically (a dangerous act, do not imitate). With a bang, the screens of all the monitors went black, and the noise of the machinery instantly stopped.
However, after only a few seconds, all the equipment began to work again. After a unified restart of the monitoring screens, they became effective once more.
At the same time, a humming sound came from the adjacent room.
"Why?" Yao Yao asked, confused. She now understood some basic scientific knowledge and knew the purpose of electricity. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"There's a backup diesel generator," I said, pointing to the next room.
Yao Yao no longer feigned modesty. She directly kicked the wall, and the wall collapsed with a roar. In the adjacent room, there were indeed three diesel generators working in series. This was easy; there was a switch, and turning off the diesel generators would suffice.
After dealing with the monitoring system, Yao Yao began to cast spells on each floor using her five elements techniques. In places with many flammable materials, she set fires. In places with a lot of steel and concrete, she manipulated the metal within the structures, bending the rebar and directly causing the buildings to collapse.
I felt that if Yao Yao were to work in demolition, she would also make a fortune.
After ten minutes of simple and efficient spellcasting, the entire factory area was engulfed in flames. The areas that were not on fire had also collapsed, as if they had been hit by bombs. I couldn't guarantee anything else, but all the electronic equipment, written materials, and other items in the rooms were destroyed without exception. These were the most important assets of a company.
After the destruction, we returned to the car and drove to a small elevated area not far away to overlook the fire.
About twenty minutes later, relevant departments arrived to extinguish the fire, but it was already too late. After the fire was extinguished, only the security booth at the entrance remained unharmed.
This should be a major event in Fucheng. More and more people and cars gathered, including some with a low-level aura of abnormal humans. I didn't know if they were Shakespeare's people or those from the Cangjing Group, but there were no experts with purple energy, so I didn't pay much attention. After observing for a while, I returned to the city, drove around, and returned to the Zhe Jiang Building.
Yao Yao had suffered a considerable loss from using her spells. She frankly told me that after her bath, she would need me to replenish her energy.
"Does this have to wait until after the bath?" I asked, smiling as we entered the small room.
By the time we emerged after replenishment, it was already midnight. The battle in the room earlier had been quite intense, and I hadn't heard the phone ringing outside.
There were three calls. One was from my aunt, likely to ask about my date with Shen Xingyue. It was too late, so I didn't reply.
The other two were from Prefect He. I called him back. Because communication might leak secrets, Prefect He didn't elaborate, merely expressing his gratitude to "Mr. Huang" and inviting us to his home as guests.
I agreed. Prefect He gave me an address in the suburbs. Judging by the name, it should be a villa area.
"I have some treasures, and I hope Mr. Huang can help me appraise them."
"I'll be there in half an hour," I said, winking at Yao Yao.
It was quite fortunate. We had a meal, obtained antiques and curios, and also blunted the Cangjing Group's edge. I didn't expect it to be a double victory.
However, Yao Yao said that we needed to bring Whale God along.
"Why?" I asked.
"I'm afraid that if I absorb too much residual energy from the antiques, I might lose control. I need a master to guard me. So, you'd better return her demon core first. I'm worried her purple energy might not be enough to subdue me," Yao Yao said with a smile.
"...You can absorb so much energy from antiques?" I asked doubtfully. The Whale God, without her demon core, was already a mid-stage purple energy expert. Could Yao Yao, by absorbing some antiques, directly advance from early-stage to mid-stage purple energy?
