Arther rested for two hours in the driver's cabin itself, since the seats had a very high comfort level, along with good security. While resting he checked on all the stats of the MCV, while checking he found out that in yesterday's collision the front side of the body frame was also damaged a bit. He immediately repaired it, this repairing didn't cost many materials.

Later he went to the pickup truck his family has used and parked it beside the MCV. After this he went inside the MCV, this moves from him also attracted the attention of his sister and Nanny who were practicing with the ballista, they poked their head out from the roof of the MCV.

Arther sat in the driver's seat and turned ON the fluid absorption option. As soon as he turned it ON a faint blue light passed through the area around the MCV, this was to scan for the objects, soon after this was done under the surprised eyes of Nanny and Jessy the pickup truck body started to melt without any reason, even the temperature in the surrounding was same and the liquid metal also didn't seem hot. The most amazing thing was that except for the metal no other part of the truck was affected, soon a large amount of metal was melted down and started flowing towards the MCV as if it was alive, the metal then melted into the MCV surface and disappeared. The MCV was like a sponge absorbing water, the metal kept coming and it was absorbed by the MCV without any delay.

On the ground where the truck was parked now remained nothing but a number of other parts like tires, steering, seats, etc. along with this was burned oil from the engine, fuel, and rust. Seeing this Arther was impressed by the system, unknowingly he had got one more use for this option which is to purify the metals. In the storage a huge cubic block of silver-colored metal was placed, the color of the truck was also removed in this process.

Seeing the entire process Jessy and Nanny were having goosebumps over the body. When they thought it was over, Arther turned ON the robotic arm, under their surprised eyes the backside roof of the MCV was opened and a metallic arm came out of it, it had four fingers and more than two joints, it had a futuristic look with a shining silver body.

As this option was turned ON, the dashboard in front of the front passenger seat was next to the driver opened up, and a touch screen tab-sized panel along with a joystick appeared. The joystick was used to control the arm while the live video from the arm was displayed on the panel. It might require some training and practice for anyone the operate it but for Arther, it was an easy task. He closed his eyes and thought about the arm, soon his vision was changed to a 3D perspective of the arm, he felt the arm to be connected with him, such a feeling was a bit different for him, as he tried to move the arm it moved easily according to his instructions. As he got accustomed to this feeling he was able to use the robotic arm as his own body part, then he tried to pick up the biggest parts of the truck, and then one by one tried picking up the smaller parts. He didn't collect the bigger parts since they had no place inside, instead, he collected the smaller parts and most importantly the rubber ones as he was planning of upgrading the MCV tires into something more sturdy.

After collecting the things he wanted to, he was not done playing with this new toy. So he searched in the surrounding for anything he can use his arm on.

While Arther was doing all this Nanny and Jessy on the roof were already having cold sweats, first, the pickup truck was eaten by the MCV and now an arm has grown out of nowhere, "Hey Nanny do you think the MCV is a monster?", both of them were lying on the roof watching the arm doing its work.

"Sister Jessy, please don't say such things, the MCV might get angry.", Nanny's tone was already shaking due to fear.

"Hah, who is afraid of this thing. I have to spank that brat a bit to speak out all the secrets he has.", Jessy spoke as she raised her fist, while she was acting tough her legs had already given up.

After observing the surroundings and not finding anything Arther was about to give up when he overheard their whispering. Seeing them Arther had an idea in his mind as he had a wide grin.

He operated the arm to move towards them and under the horrified gaze of both of them he picked up Nanny, seeing this both of them were already screaming to the extent, without further ado Arther placed Nanny in the upper deck and called back the arm. As soon as he was done, their parents also came running out of the MCV, on the roof Jessy was crying with tears spilling down her cheeks, seeing this Arther's father went to the roof to check on her, at the same time a dumbfounded Nanny also walked out of the MCV, when she was about to call for Jessy a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her inside the MCV. When she was about to scream a hand was placed on her mouth, she opened her tightly shut big eyes with tears already welling up in them, in front of her Arther was gesturing her to be quiet. "Be quiet, let's have some fun with sis." after he spoke he released her and went to the driver's cabin pulling her inside by her arm.

Unknown to Arther, the whole face of Nanny was already red, when he held her both their face was a bit closer, enough for her to feel his breath, and now him holding her hands felt a bit more intimidating for Nanny.

In the driver's cabin, he called on for a screen that displayed the rooftop, to Nanny's surprise this video didn't seem from a camera as it had a god's eye view and even the audio was very clear.

On the roof, Jessy was in a very sorry state, with her whole body covered in sweat, while her hands and legs shaking due to fear, soon Jack reached the roof and held her in his arms as he took her down in the living room, she was placed on the sofa, all of them worried about her conditions as she was crying and muttering something. After a while, she calmed down from the shock and fear, Abella gave her some water to drink after she was done drinking the water, Mey was not able to hold on and asked her with a worried expression, "Jessy, what happened and why were you calling for Nanny. What happened to Nanny."

Hearing this tears started welling up in Jessy's eyes as she thought of it, "Aunt Mey, Nanny.... was eaten by the MCV.",

As soon as she spoke this, Arther came to the living room with Nanny following him, hearing Jessy's answer everyone was about to react when they saw Arther walking in with Nanny. Seeing this Jessy was the most shocked, after thinking about it she understood that all this was Arther's doing. As soon as she thought about how she was crying in front of everyone her blood was boiling due to anger, seeing Arther knew he was done for so without waiting for anyone to talk he ran to the driver's cabin.

"Ahhhhh...you stinky brat. I said stop there, today I am going to make you regret your actions. How dare you...", Jessy was like a tigress stepped upon her tail, she jumped up from the sofa and ran behind Arther, but she was a bit late in her actions as Arther had already closed the cabin door. She tried to open the door but he locked it from inside.

After failing to open the door and being ignored by Arther her anger reached a higher limit, seeing everyone observing her she tried to calm down when her eyes fell upon a certain someone. Nanny was trying her best to reduce her presence in the living room, she knew what will happen if she fell in Jessy's hand now, as she was relieved when Jessy followed Arther she heard something which sent chills down her body, "Nanny, let's go we have to practice our task.", when she slowly raised her head Jessy was already beside her and without giving her any chance to reject she was pulled to the roof.

For the whole time, the elders were having a confused expression on their faces, but this event helped them relieve from the things Arther told in the morning, seeing how active their children were they also felt happy and went to their allocated tasks.
