After Qian Yangsheng left, Zhang Yelin's face grew even paler. The base leader, however, looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Doctor, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired from researching the potion these past few days. I'll go take a rest." After saying that, he got up and left the conference room.

The man behind him, seeing his actions and words, looked on with disdain. Who would believe that kind of childish nonsense? He was perfectly fine a moment ago, and suddenly he feels unwell, tired? Even a ghost wouldn't believe that.

It seems this Dr. Zhang has many secrets I don't know, but someone who can make him pale and wary is definitely not simple. It looks like if I recruit him, I'd like to see if he still dares to be so arrogant.

Zhang Yelin, who had left, was unaware of Zheng Renzhong's thoughts. Both of them harbored their own secrets and were wary of each other.

Zhang Yelin returned to his bedroom and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

"It must be him, there's no mistake, he's come to take revenge on me!" Zhang Yelin muttered to himself, his face pale and his mind unsettled.

In a fit of anger, Zhang Yelin swept his hands across the table, causing the items on it to fall to the ground with a clattering sound.

"No, I need to calm down. Since I remembered him back then, I'm sure I can do it this time." He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down and think of a solution.

Since Luo Jingli has a woman by his side, that woman is probably his weakness. As long as I find his weakness, I won't have to worry about him not submitting to me.

Zhang Yelin's ambition grew larger and larger. Back when he was in the same laboratory as Luo Jingli, he framed him many times. Although he only succeeded in the end, forcing Luo Jingli to leave the research institute, it cannot be denied that he was quite intelligent.

However, if he knew that his scheme had been seen through by the reborn Luo Jingli, and that he had deliberately made it seem like he was forced to leave, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Yelin suddenly chuckled maliciously, stood up abruptly, and reached out to turn the lamp in his bedroom. A hidden compartment appeared in the room, and Zhang Yelin took out a bottle of medicine from it. The corner of his mouth curled up, and his smile was rather eerie.

He took the medicine, turned around and left the bedroom to go to his independent laboratory. He planned to research a powerful inhibitor. If Luo Jingli was ungrateful, he could secretly give him the medicine and then he would be at Luo Jingli's mercy!

Furthermore, it's not enough to just suppress superpowers; you also need to suppress mental power, because the use of superpowers is mostly supported by mental power. I was able to do this research thanks to the experimental notes left behind by Luo Jingli.

Zhang Yelin found the manuscript and began to study it while adding unknown potions to the bottles and jars. The various potions mixed together, occasionally bubbling, creating a beautiful yet alluring, alluring yet dangerous effect.

The two people on this side were unaware that a huge conspiracy was waiting for them, and were focused on absorbing the energy of the crystal core.

Sui Yi is already at level nine, almost at level ten, but she's stuck at that crucial juncture, unable to advance or retreat. She's absorbed over a dozen crystal cores without any improvement, which is quite frustrating.

"Tong'er, is there any way for me to get promoted quickly?"

"No." A very straightforward refusal!

"Sigh! Where are you on your update progress?" he sighed and continued to ask.

"It's still a long way off." The system was also a little frustrated. This major update has been going on for more than a month, and it's only a little over halfway done. It'll probably take another month or so to finish updating.

"Are you a knock-off?! It's so slow to level up."

"You're the fake one! I'm the real deal, the genuine product, the genuine product!" The system wouldn't stand for it if it said it was a counterfeit.

"Fine, System, let's put on a TV show." Looking at the system jumping around in a fit of exasperation, Sui Yi's eyes twitched, utterly speechless. She demanded the system play a TV show to pass the time.

"What are you looking at?" The system stopped jumping and instead leaped onto a red sandalwood chair in the space, crossed its legs, and looked relaxed and content.

Sui Yi then noticed that the space had changed drastically. Mahogany furniture was everywhere, and a pile of squirrel plush toys sat on one of the partitions. There was also an exquisite little bed, comfortable furnishings, and various entertainment facilities. These things wouldn't be cheap in real life, let alone in the system's shop. Upon closer inspection, she realized that even after all these household items were arranged, there was still plenty of space.

Now Sui Yi understood everything. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, her chest heaving, she was utterly furious.

"Damn you, system! I'm working myself to the bone doing tasks outside, and you give me this crap. It turns out my points weren't used to level up, but instead you spent them in the shop."

"Uh!" The system, feeling a little guilty after hearing Sui Yi's imposing words, jumped off the chair and looked at her in a coquettish manner.

"Sui Sui, look how plain our house is usually, it's not comfortable to live in, is it? Now that I've arranged all this, isn't it cozy?"

Suiyi just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Well, I bought these from the shop because I didn't have enough points to upgrade. These things are definitely cheap, they're all on sale. I promise." Seeing that Suiyi didn't speak, the system was a little scared, so it stretched out its furry paw and held it to its ear, making a promise.

"Heh! You said you wanted something cozy, but look at all the furniture you bought, is there anything I can actually use?" Sui Yi looked at the furniture the system had bought, several of which were miniature versions. What use was there for a grown woman like herself?

"Sui Sui, Sui Sui, these pieces of furniture can change size. When you come back, I'll be your servant and take good care of you, okay?" He said with a fawning expression, as if afraid that Sui Yi would pack up and sell back the things he had tricked into giving him.

"Hehe! Okay. Now, let's watch a TV series." Sui Yi didn't care about the points; she just wanted to scare the system, otherwise it would definitely be so smug it would fly to the sky.

It's fair to say that this system has accompanied me through several worlds, keeping me from feeling lonely. Sigh! I really am getting old, almost two hundred years old!

The system obediently played "The Legend of the White Snake," and the plot reached the point where Xu Xian was scared to death after Bai Suzhen turned back into her original form because she drank too much realgar wine.

"How can Xu Xian be so timid? He's a doctor, this doesn't make sense."

"Tch, what do you know? It's just part of the plot. This is a classic, it's pretty good."

When Suiyi saw Bai Suzhen steal the elixir of immortality, be captured by the Queen Mother, and be rescued by Guanyin, she couldn't help but sigh that having a powerful backer makes all the difference, no matter the era.

Bai Suzhen became a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan, who was of equal status to Nuwa, and it seemed that she and Nuwa were also related. Out of respect for the old mother, she rushed to her rescue when Bai Suzhen was in trouble. This relationship was incredibly strong.
