I'm the administrator of the National Fortune Arena at the start of the game; I'll hand it

"Ha, a sneak attack? Stealing?"

In the operations center, Su Yuan almost burst out laughing as he listened to the battle plan coming from the White Elephant Army's internal channel.

"This train of thought is truly bizarre." Li Guodong shook his head repeatedly. "Taking a B-grade item and thinking he can challenge three S-grade mechs? Is this the courage Liang Jingru gave him?"

"Ignore them, they're just a bunch of clowns." General Lin Zhan said dismissively. "Xiao Su, should we remind Wang Yi and the others?"

"No need." Su Yuan waved his hand, a playful smile on his face. "It's pointless to remind them. I'd rather see what their expressions are when they fall from heaven to hell, thinking they have victory in their grasp."

He didn't even bother to use any complicated methods anymore.

The simplest and most direct way to deal with such clueless fools is often the most effective.

He reopened the environment control options in the administrator panel.

"Last time it was oxygen deprivation, this time... let's try something different."

Su Yuan's gaze swept across the control list.

[Regional water pressure adjustment], [Regional water temperature adjustment], [Regional ocean current adjustment]...

His finger finally stopped on the option for "Area Dissolved Oxygen Concentration".

However, this time, he did not choose to lower the price.

"Since you like Shiva so much, I'll let you experience what it feels like to be 'burning with desire'."

Su Yuan's mind stirred.

[Command: Instantly increase the dissolved oxygen concentration in the target area (the area where the White Elephant Kingdom team is located) to 50 times the normal value.]

……

Inside the instance.

Rajesh and his men were holding their breath, lying in ambush behind a huge coral reef, waiting for the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Suddenly, they felt something strange in their bodies.

An indescribable feeling of excitement and heat, as if they had inhaled pure oxygen, spread from their lungs throughout their entire bodies!

"Huh? What's going on? Why do I feel... so hot?" one of the team members asked, puzzled.

"Me too! And my heart is beating so fast! I feel... I feel like I have inexhaustible energy!"

"Hahaha! This must be Shiva bestowing strength upon us! He wishes us swift success!"

Rajesh felt the surging power within him and burst into wild laughter.

He thought it was a miracle.

He was completely unaware that this was actually a harbinger of death.

The oxygen concentration in a living organism is not necessarily better the higher it is. When the oxygen concentration in the blood exceeds a critical value, "oxygen poisoning" occurs.

In mild cases, it can lead to excessive oxidation of cells and tissues, resulting in impaired function; in severe cases, it can directly ignite organic matter in the body, causing... spontaneous combustion!

"Now's the time! The Chinese have already entered the tower! Let's go!"

Rajesh saw that the three mechs of the Dragon Team had disappeared into the entrance of the energy tower. He roared and led his teammates, who were also in a state of extreme excitement, out from behind the coral reef.

However, they had only gone less than ten meters.

"ah--"

One of the team members suddenly let out a piercing scream.

Without warning, a strange blue flame suddenly erupted from his body!

The flames seemed to ignite the air, instantly enveloping his entire body!

"Help...help me!"

He struggled and rolled in the flames in agony, but the flames were like a leech, impossible to extinguish.

In just a few seconds, he was burned alive into a charred, human-shaped charcoal.

"What?!"

Rajesh was terrified by this sudden turn of events.

Before he could react, another teammate beside him followed suit, turning into a human torch with a scream.

Then came the third, the fourth...

Fear, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed Rajesh.

He finally realized that this was not a miracle, but a curse! A divine punishment!

He wanted to run, but his body began to uncontrollably radiate scorching heat.

He could feel his blood burning.

"No...no—"

In endless fear and despair, his vision was completely engulfed by a blue flame.

Near the distant coral reef, Chen Hu, piloting the Titan mech, had just dealt with a small mechanical guard that attempted to ambush him from behind and was preparing to return to the team.

He inadvertently caught a glimpse of those eerie blue flames in the distance, and the figures struggling in the fire.

"Huh? What's that? Is someone playing with fire?"

He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

He casually reported this situation to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi glanced at the shared view and frowned: "Never mind, it's probably some kind of defense mechanism here. We've reached the core area of ​​the energy tower, be careful."

"oh."

Chen Hu shrugged, didn't think about it anymore, and turned to follow the main group.

He was like a passerby who inadvertently caught a glimpse of a minor accident that had nothing to do with him.

He had no idea that just moments ago, a nation's top athletes had been wiped out in the most ridiculous and humiliating way.

The interior of the energy tower is a hidden world.

Unlike its futuristic appearance from the outside, this place is filled with a sense of ancient and mysterious ritual.

On both sides of the wide circular passageway are countless murals that are difficult to understand, depicting scenes of Atlanteans worshipping the sea and fighting with some huge sea monsters.

"This place... feels like a temple," Zhao Zihan's voice came through the channel.

"Be careful, I have a feeling that the things in these murals might come to life at any moment." Chen Hu cautiously looked around.

The three mechs cautiously advanced through the narrow passage.

According to the map provided by Su Yuan, the energy hub is located at the bottom of this tower.

They descended without encountering many obstacles. Apart from a few scattered mechanical guards, Chen Hu easily dealt with them.

Soon, they arrived at an incredibly spacious circular hall, resembling a giant cavern.

At the center of the hall was a bottomless, enormous energy well, radiating a ghostly blue light. Countless thick energy conduits extended from the well, connecting to the walls around the hall like the roots of a giant tree.

This is the energy hub of the entire city.

And guarding this place is the last and most powerful mini-boss in this dungeon.

"Rumble..."

As the Dragon Team arrived, the entire hall began to shake violently.

Within the energy well, the once calm blue energy began to surge violently, like boiling water.

A colossal black shadow slowly rose from the depths of the energy well.

"roar--"
