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.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

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.

"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.
