Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

With the warning beeping of "beep," the emergency plan was quickly activated.

Water mist began to spray from the ceiling, and the ventilation system made a loud noise, quickly suppressing the escaping smoke and dust.

Su Shuyan's eyes widened involuntarily at the scene before her. She quickly cut off the power and rushed forward as the smoke dissipated, trying to open the instrument's door.

Before she even arrived, there were two loud crashes, and several fist marks appeared on the heavy door of the instrument compartment.

Then, accompanied by a screeching sound, the entire hatch was torn apart by a powerful force and smashed to the ground.

"Cough cough."

Thick smoke billowed outwards from inside, and flames could be faintly seen burning within.

Lin Yuan coughed twice and slowly walked out. After casually extinguishing the small flames on his body, a golden light rippled around him. He then walked to the slightly dazed Su Shuyan's side and together they turned to look at the unrecognizable instrument.

"This... the equipment in the technical department seems to be of poor quality. I haven't even used it yet... I hope they won't make me pay for it, Researcher Su?"

Lin Yuan scratched his head and looked at Su Shuyan beside him, saying, "Although the timing isn't ideal."

From the outside, Lin Yuan, who was spotless and dressed neatly, and Su Shuyan, whose white uniform was blackened by smoke and dust, looked somewhat disheveled and had some water stains on her body, formed a stark contrast.

"Researcher Su, are you alright?"

Seeing that the other party did not react, Lin Yuan waved his hand in front of the other party with some concern.

"fine."

Su Shuyan, her gaze now calm, looked at her again from head to toe. Although her gaze seemed unchanged from before, Lin Yuan could sense the complex emotions within it.

Lin Yuan even sensed a hint of...resentment?

"As I said, the relevant departments will bear the costs of equipment manufacturing, and I will ask them for reimbursement."

As the soft voice finished speaking, Lin Yuan seemed to hallucinate the final tremor in the other person's voice.

"We'll talk about your matter later. I need to take care of something first."

As Su Shuyan spoke, she turned and walked straight outside.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly followed.

"...Find a place to sit for a while. Oh, and don't touch my other instruments."

Su Shuyan's voice faded into the distance as she quickly left.

Lin Yuan shrugged, went to the spot near the entrance where he had just been resting, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a short break.

......

Soon, the maintenance team and various types of machinery arrived.

The damaged areas in the laboratory were quickly treated.

Lin Yuan watched Su Shuyan busy herself, but felt a little disappointed.

"I thought I was lucky to have met a master, but it seems there's still no way to help me."

If even the testing equipment couldn't withstand Lin Yuan's power, then he had little expectation that Su Shuyan could create a weapon that would satisfy him.

"I'll see what's suitable in the system store later."

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly, then stared blankly into the eyes of onlookers.

His consciousness continued to sink, and he began to browse the system interface.

.......

"Hey, hey. You... Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan focused his gaze, looking away from the system panel and ahead.

Su Shuyan's voice rang in her ears, and a pair of slender hands waved up and down in front of her.

What are you spacing out about?

Su Shuyan's voice was somewhat different from its previous calm tone.

Seeing Lin Yuan react, she put away her waving hand and stood to the side, her face returning to its usual calm expression.

"Is it resolved?"

Lin Yuan didn't know how long the other person had been calling him. He stood up, stretched his body, and asked.

"Okay, come with me."

Su Shuyan's words were as concise as ever. After she finished speaking, she took the lead and walked out of the laboratory with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was puzzled by this, but he still quickly followed.

The two walked one after the other through the corridor of the technical department without saying a word.

During the process, many employees in the technology research and development department cast inscrutable glances at this scene, and some even whispered among themselves.

As the journey continued, the number of people around gradually decreased, and the surrounding roads and cabins appeared simple and deserted.

A sense of unease crept into Lin Yuan's heart, and after turning a corner in the corridor, he couldn't help but ask aloud.

Where are we going?

"Go check your weapons."

Su Shuyan didn't turn around, but said in a cold tone.

"My weapon... has the test just finished?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat curious. Could things have taken a turn for the better after all this?

As if sensing Lin Yuan's thoughts, Su Shuyan froze.

She sighed softly, her voice gentle but also somewhat helpless.

"To be honest, your situation is somewhat unexpected."

Su Shuyan touched her forehead with her slender hand.

"Originally, I only intended to experience the difference between the [Preservation] power and other Destiny powers, but now I can't help you make what you want."

She didn't try to hide it and admitted it directly.

“But I have to keep my promises to others; that’s my bottom line, so I brought you here.”

Looking into the other person's bright eyes, Lin Yuan saw an unusual determination within them.

"So...where is this place?"

"This is the containment area, which houses the strange artifacts collected and archived by the company's technology research and development department."

As Su Shuyan spoke, she led him around a corner. A straight passage appeared before them.

"Could it be that you want me to find some rare item?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised, yet it also felt like it was within his expectations.

If a wandering soul were to use it as a weapon, an artifact would obviously be the most suitable.

Just like the little gray guy in the game, that rule-breaking baseball bat is a marvel.

"That's right, but it's just an experiment."

Su Shuyan glanced at him subconsciously and took the lead in walking forward.

As the two walked forward, a beam of light descended from the ceiling and swept towards them.

"Su Shuyan, authorization granted."

A voice message rang out.

"Please wait a moment."

Su Shuyan took out her terminal, intending to perform some operation, but the voice message continued broadcasting the report:

"Lin Yuan, authorization granted."

Su Shuyan paused, glancing at Lin Yuan with some surprise, then a look of realization dawned on her eyes.

The gate at the end of the road ahead made a mechanical sound and then slowly opened.

"Why isn't anyone guarding such an important place?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat curious.

"If you don't have permission to get here, you'll know what the defenses are like here."

As Su Shuyan spoke, she silently led the way into the cabin in front.

As the two entered, the lights on the ceiling gradually brightened from near to far.

"Don't wander around. There are some areas here that we don't have the authority to access."

Lin Yuan nodded and looked around.

This was a huge, astonishingly large cabin. The lights only illuminated the immediate vicinity; much of the area remained shrouded in darkness.

Transparent isolation chambers were densely packed throughout the site, but the contents inside were obscured by a fog and could not be clearly seen.

"This way."

Su Shuyan gestured to lead the way, and the two soon arrived at an isolation pod.

After a series of operations, the fog inside the cabin began to dissipate. Lin Yuan was surprised to see an irregularly shaped, blackish-red substance constantly changing and twisting before his eyes.

"Is this the strange object?"

Lin Yuan turned to look at Su Shuyan.

"Yes."

Su Shuyan's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment.

"It is called... Xuan Yi."
