Because of the significance of this battle, Sifuer specifically found a manor with quite a large area within the refuge for Pei Yan and others. And below this manor, there are several basements storing miscellaneous items and fine wines.

At this moment, Wang Wenze and Jiang Feiyang, standing guard for their friend at the basement door, watched as Pei Yan repeatedly took out one gigantic cabinet after another from his ring and couldn't help but ask, "What on earth are these things? My God, you've absorbed more than a dozen of them and still haven't finished?"

"There's plenty more!" Pei Yan patted the newly taken-out cabinet with a face full of joy and said, "I thought I couldn't apply for this thing, but unexpectedly the higher-ups really were willing to pull off such a big move for me."

"Stop beating around the bush, what exactly is it?" Looking at the dark large cabinets, Jiang Feiyang couldn't help but ask.

"Supercomputers! Real supercomputers! Although these are not the latest, most cutting-edge devices nationwide, they're not far off. This is, so far, the most expensive device I've absorbed." Pei Yan couldn't hide his excitement as he spoke, and even more excited was Suzi in his mind. Feeling the powerful computational capabilities of these products, she was almost impatiently urging Pei Yan to speed up the absorption, not waste time talking nonsense with these two.

"Computers, huh!" Though seeing Pei Yan so happy knowing these things were very important to him, Wang Wenze couldn't help but mutter disapprovingly. He thought it was some high-tech weapon.

No longer bothering to explain to his friends the importance of this item to himself, Pei Yan hurriedly immersed himself in the process of absorbing the supercomputers, which, if all laid out, would fill half a playground. It took Pei Yan five hours to completely absorb them.

Once everything was over, Pei Yan activated his mechanization power again, feeling the sense of leaping anticipation brought by the newly acquired abilities within his body and the completely different visual impact of his eyes after modification, his heart couldn't help but rise in a surge of wanting to battle.

"You've already reached level six, just as I said, after absorbing fragments from various realms, you'll awaken a new ability after leveling up twice. It seems you are quite pleased with your new abilities!" Lin Junzhao's voice timely reached Pei Yan's mind.

"Yes, very much liked. I can feel an uncontrollable powerful force, but honestly, this ability somewhat overlaps with the previous one. Yet it doesn't matter; this feeling is indeed wonderful!" Saying this, Pei Yan looked down at the electromagnet jumping in his palm and couldn't hide his joy.

"Stop playing the fool now, you really turned misfortune into fortune this time. This ability not only compensates for your own equipment absorption shortcomings but also has merged with the abilities you've absorbed before, resulting in a mutation, such a situation is indeed rare! Not to mention your right eye, how astonishing that it managed to combine the essence of all four realms into one. Now I'm more curious about what role it will play in the future, Pei Yan, you are indeed quite interesting. I'm starting to feel a bit unwilling to see you die. Strive to live on and let me witness more novel happenings." In Lin Junzhao's nearly deranged laughter, Pei Yan ended this evolution journey, tonight he needs a good rest, tomorrow he will face a negotiation with an uncertain future.

Refusing Leohard's request to send more guards, Sifuer along with her uncle Bailang and uncle-in-law Samikina accepted Gu Shenghui's invitation without any guards and entered his staying manor.

The unusual occurrences here in the past couple of days were already reported by subordinates to her, and she couldn't understand what the changes in the investigation office's location could mean just before the war. With such doubts, she walked slowly into the manor, what greeted her eyes was Gu Shenghui sitting under a sunshade and his standing subordinates.

Seeing that she was almost to the sunshade yet the other party had no intention of rising to greet her, this extremely rude attitude cast a shadow over Sifuer's heart. Looking around, she did not spot Pei Yan's figure among the crowd.

"Miss Sifuer, Mr. Samikina is here, please sit down!" Only when the three stepped under the sunshade did Gu Shenghui slightly rise, making a gesture of invitation and smiling as he said, "Thank you for your many receptions, as gratitude, this time I've prepared some humble food from our homeland for you all to taste."

Sitting down, seeing colorful various foods arranged on the table, smelling their emitted fragrance, Sifuer had no appetite and directly approached the subject, "Mr. Mu, why haven't I seen Mr. Shitang? Has he gone out to execute a mission? But my subordinates didn't record any departure from this place."

"Miss Sifuer, are you asking about my disciple? You should be clearer of his situation than I am!" Gu Shenghui said, standing up and receiving the teacup brought by Zhao Yuanhu, one by one brewing tea for them while speaking.

Listening to Gu Shenghui's ambiguous words, Samikina sitting beside had long detected the hostility of this group, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Mu, I appreciate the direct and pragmatic nature of your disciple, so I also ask you not to beat around the bush, speak directly if there's something."

"Indeed, my good disciple is too direct and pragmatic, hence attracting resentment!" Gu Shenghui sat back down after brewing tea, put down the teacup, picked up a napkin to wipe the hand tainted with tea, casually threw it aside, and sneered.

As soon as the words fell, Sifuer saw the door behind them open, Pei Jin pushing a wheelchair slowly came out, and sitting on the wheelchair was Pei Yan, glaringly pale and wearing sunglasses.

"This, what, what's going on?" Sifuer was shocked into standing up from her seat in astonishment.

Pei Yan peeked sneakily under his sunglasses to see the expressions of the three changing abruptly upon seeing him, his heart fell halfway down. It seemed pretty much as he guessed, these few didn't know the elemental shards were meddled with, otherwise their acting would be too good, but specifics still needed to be probed further.

"Miss Sifuer, do you really not know what's going on?" Elder Lin's voice countered with hatred.

Feeling the undisguised killing intent from the other party, Bailang hurriedly stood up to shield in front of Sifuer and retorted, "What do you mean by that?"

"He's right in front of you! My man was attacked! What do you mean?" Gu Shenghui slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"We didn't do this! There must be a misunderstanding here!" Sifuer fiercely pushed away her shielding uncle and argued, "It must be the remnant of Friedrich trying to revenge and stir up conflict here, it must be a misunderstanding. Mr. Mu think about it! For the sake of this collaboration, we've already put all our chips on the table. At this critical moment, how could we harm the key figure of this mission!"
