Evolver Association, 23rd floor.

The shattered 'lenses' scattered on the ground.

Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang couldn't help but change their expressions.

They knew Cao Rong's personality wellhe feared neither heaven nor earth. Since he agreed to check out Lin Yuan's background, he wouldn't back down halfway unless...

Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang exchanged a glance.

As evolvers with developed brain domains, various speculations quickly formed in their minds. The combat power glasses were the latest research result from Black Crow Star. Although they weren't perfect and had the possibility of malfunction or explosion, Cao Rong wouldn't be so nervous just because of that.

Most likely, before the combat power glasses exploded, Cao Rong had seen something through them.

"It's better not to offend this person."

In the blink of an eye, Zong Bai had various thoughts in his mind. He took a step forward, putting on a friendly smile. "Mr. Lin, the three of us have been waiting for you here."

"I apologize for being late."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He casually swept his gaze over the scattered 'lenses' on the ground. Just a moment ago, he vaguely sensed a weak 'sensing presence.' It most likely came from these eyeglass fragments. However, this 'sensing presence' was shallow at best, only providing a slight perception of Lin Yuan's partial strength. As for his true trump cards, they were hidden within his body. Unless he went all out, it would be challenging to detect them.

"Please come this way. President Liao has specially prepared delicacies from other planets, which are slightly beneficial to evolvers like us."

Zong Bai spoke warmly.

Lu Xi Guang also smiled.

"I wonder what Cao Rong actually saw?"

Lu Xi Guang's gaze occasionally shifted to Cao Rong, who seemed lost and disoriented. If Lin Yuan wasn't present, he probably would have asked by now.

At the dining table, Lin Yuan took a sip of the exquisite wine.

"Good wine."

Lin Yuan praised.

His comment about good wine wasn't just about the taste of the wine. The wine entering his throat slowly improved his body. If an ordinary citizen drank this wine, it could probably extend their life by three to five years.

Even though Lin Yuan's physical body was already powerful, he could feel his blood and energy slightly boiling.

"This fine wine is called Tianzhi Wine. It's a treasure from Brother Zong, and if it weren't for your arrival, Mr. Lin, we wouldn't have the privilege of enjoying it."

Lu Xi Guang couldn't help but say.

Tianzhi Wine, even for first and second-rank evolvers, was considered a luxury item. A bottle of Tianzhi Wine on the market was priced between five to ten million, and the glass Lin Yuan was drinking was worth five hundred thousand.

Of course, the high price of Tianzhi Wine was due to its exquisite taste and the slight enhancement it provided to the physical body.

Zong Bai had brought this bottle of Tianzhi Wine out from home to savor slowly. If it weren't for Lin Yuan's extraordinary status and Cao Rong's actions just now possibly causing misunderstandings, Zong Bai wouldn't have been willing to bring out the Tianzhi Wine.

In the following conversation, Lin Yuan gained a general understanding of Zong Bai and the other two.

Zong Bai followed the evolution path of a "Psychic Master." Controlling psychic power, he could kill from a distance.

The "Psychic Master" evolution path was relatively widespread within human civilization. It essentially involved constantly developing one's psychic power to influence reality. When cultivated to the fourth or fifth rank, a slight thought could cause natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and plate tectonic movements.

As for Lu Xi Guang, he was a bloodline evolver. All his abilities came from his own bloodline.

Lu Xi Guang's bloodline quality had reached the second rank.

However, even for bloodline evolvers, the difficulty of cultivation is lower than that of evolvers following other paths. It's not an easy task to progress from the first rank to the second rank, especially considering Lu Xi Guang's relatively low bloodline concentration. He had been stuck at the first rank, twelfth stage, for over ten years. Interacting with Zong Bai, Lu Xi Guang, and others proved helpful for Lin Yuan.

As they chatted face-to-face, Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the others, occasionally providing feedback with his unrivaled insight, giving Lin Yuan some enlightenment.

Especially with Zong Bai's "Psychic Master" evolution path, the so-called psychic power was essentially the power of the soul and mental abilities. Some of the insights gained from it could be applied to the martial path evolution.

An hour later, after exchanging their respective citizen numbers in the virtual world, Lin Yuan proposed to take his leave. Back in Room 23, Zong Bai and the others bid farewell to Lin Yuan.

"He's indeed not ordinary."

Zong Bai frowned, pondering for a moment before speaking.

By 'not ordinary,' he naturally referred to Lin Yuan. Initially, his cautious attitude was due to the uncertainty about Lin Yuan's strength and Cao Rong's behavior. However, after conversing with Lin Yuan, Zong Bai developed different thoughts.

Setting aside other matters, Zong Bai keenly noticed that Lin Yuan had an exceptional understanding of the essence of evolution paths. When questioning about his "Psychic Master" evolution path, Lin Yuan effortlessly clarified questions that had troubled Zong Bai for a long time, questions that even higher-level evolvers struggled to answer. Lin Yuan, who hadn't fully delved into the "Psychic Master" evolution path, had a profound comprehension. Even his casual words were immensely beneficial to Zong Bai.

"Cao Rong, what's wrong with you? What happened just now?"

Lu Xi Guang nodded in agreement and looked at Cao Rong beside him.

At this moment, Cao Rong seemed unusually silent.

"Mr. Lin's combat power."

Upon hearing this, Cao Rong's face revealed a terrified expression.

It's indeed about combat power, Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang thought.

They had speculated earlier that Cao Rong's behavior was influenced because he saw Lin Yuan's combat power through the combat power glasses.

"How much combat power does Mr. Lin have?"

Lu Xi Guang immediately asked.

"My combat power is only a thousand. Mr. Lin's combat power is at least ten thousand."

Cao Rong's voice trembled, "No, it's over ten thousand."

After reaching ten thousand combat power, the combat power glasses overloaded and exploded. Therefore, Cao Rong believed that Lin Yuan's combat power was definitely more than ten thousand.

"Over ten thousand combat power."

Zong Bai and Lu Xi Guang took a deep breath.

This was the combat power possessed by true second-rank evolvers, a level that most second-rank evolvers couldn't reach.

"Liao President didn't say that the person invited this time was supposed to be similar in strength to us."

Lu Xi Guang muttered to himself.

They had a combat power of a thousand, while Lin Yuan had over ten thousand. This was considered similar?

"The combat power glasses shouldn't make mistakes."

Cao Rong added from the side.

If the combat power glasses had exploded before seeing Lin Yuan, it might have been a problem with the glasses themselves. As a new technological product, malfunctions were possible. However, since the glasses exploded after capturing Lin Yuan's approximate combat power information, it indicated that there was an issue with the glasses' configuration, but the captured information was accurate.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing the two in silence, Zong Bai suddenly smiled.

"The stronger Mr. Lin is, the better, isn't it?"

Zong Bai asked.

Facing the upcoming arena competition, the stronger Lin Yuan was, the closer he could get to the top rankings. Even if he didn't make it to the top three thousand in the end, he could still receive personal compensation from President Liao.

"It is indeed a good thing."

Lu Xi Guang and Cao Rong exchanged glances, their eyes suddenly shining.

They immediately realized that for them, Lin Yuan was like a lifeline. Holding onto him might boost their rankings in the arena competition by several tens.

Evolver Association, 30th floor.

After leaving the 23rd floor, Lin Yuan didn't return to the Water Moon Residential Area. Instead, he came to the 30th floor, intending to meet with President Liao.

This visit served two purposes getting familiar with his three teammates for the upcoming arena competition and something else.

"How did it go? Did Zong Bai and the others give you a hard time?"

President Liao asked with a hint of concern.

He naturally knew the personalities of Zong Bai and Cao Rong. Understanding that Lin Yuan wanted to integrate into the group, he realized it wouldn't be so easy.

"Not bad."

"That pot of Tianzhi Wine is quite good."

Lin Yuan casually replied.

He had a good impression of this kind of fine wine. If it weren't so expensive, he would have considered buying several cases.

"Hmm?"

"When did Zong Bai become so generous?"

President Liao's face showed surprise.

He had long coveted that pot of Tianzhi Wine, but Zong Bai had never invited him to drink it. Yet, now, with Lin Yuan here for the first time, he brought it out?

"President Liao, I came here this time with another matter I'd like to ask for your help with."

Lin Yuan got straight to the point without beating around the bush.
