Lin Yu: All my summoned creatures have serious problems

"Buzz--"

The incandescent bulbs lit up, and the Ballast beeped, illuminating the spacious view behind the underground door.

The underground space wasn't as elaborately decorated as Supervisor Tennyson's residence. The floor, ceiling, and surrounding "walls" were covered in rocks, almost like a cave. It was just a suspended ceiling and some support, and in many places on the floor, transparent resin glass was used to fill some holes—under the glass, you could see the rushing water.

Lin Yu speculated that there should have been a natural underground cavity here, possibly formed by a tributary of the underground water system of the entire City That Never Sleeps, which was then modified and utilized by Supervisor Tennyson.

And just as Old Zheng said, this place does indeed include the function of Supervisor Tennyson's "private Gym" - in a corner of the empty room, there are all kinds of large fitness equipment, from strength training to physical training, and you can even see a very professional fighting practice table.

At the same time, Supervisor Tennyson's training here is definitely not limited to physical fitness and combat skills—on the other side of the fitness area, there is an area similar to a shooting range.

There were all sorts of firearms on display, and the targets and surrounding walls were riddled with bullet holes, suggesting that Supervisor Tennyson had probably conducted a lot of shooting training here.

This only accounts for less than half of the underground space.

The other half of the area is a more professional-looking area than the private Alchemy Laboratory downstairs—a larger alchemy table, cabinet-style servers and operating terminals, and more than ten large Alchemical Equipment.

In the lab above, Supervisor Tennyson only had two large machines on display... and those two looked to be fairly common models.

However, these dozen or so alchemy facilities clearly possess a more expensive and professional quality.

Although Lin Yu's Alchemy skills were not high and his knowledge was limited, he was unable to determine the specific functions of these Alchemical Equipment.

However, the cost and quality of expensive items can indeed be discerned from their appearance.

Even someone who knows nothing about cars can tell the price difference between a Ferrari and a regular sedan.

Not to mention...

Lin Yu could also verify his judgment by observing the reactions of knowledgeable people.

After all, among the people present...

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot must be very clear about the value of alchemy facilities.

Lin Yu was already able to observe Nightless Sky Fire Apricot —her eyes were shining, and she even seemed a little envious.

"My God, the 'Barent's Right Hand' alchemy refining machine from the Divine Power Group, one of only three prototypes in the entire City That Never Sleeps, one in the No. 1 Direct Laboratory at the Divine Power Group Headquarters, and two that have been destroyed... I thought they were really destroyed, but I didn't expect them to be here!"

"And this GMOA-7... This is the alchemical solidification and shaping equipment from the Creator's laboratory of 'Supreme Evolution'... Most of the Alchemical Equipment in the Creator's laboratory is lost, I didn't expect to find one here—I just don't know if it's a replica, but even if it is, it's still very impressive."

"And this 'Myriad Forms Fusion,' this 'Solence Six'... My God, I don't even recognize this one... but it's so beautiful, so sexy."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot carefully touched the outer casing of the equipment, almost like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar or a weasel that had fallen into a chicken coop, seemingly completely overwhelmed.

Although Nightless Sky Fire Apricot is Royal Nobles and has recently been Chosen of Wisdom, the resources she has for Alchemy research are undoubtedly the best in City That Never Sleeps...

However, for a long time, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's study of "Alchemy" was a "secret hobby," and most of her research was conducted in secret.

At that time, her Alchemical Materials were either scavenged from the waste bins of the Nightless Sky Family, other Noble families, and the Alchemy Laboratory of the Truth Company, or stolen—so when she told Qin Siyu that she also stole things, she wasn't joking.

Sometimes, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot would disassemble the Alchemy Component and devices she received, extracting the Alchemical Materials for her own use.

Therefore, even though she has now returned to the "lavish life" that should rightfully belong to her as Royal Nobles, Huo Nightless Sky Fire Apricot City has indeed developed a "poor man's mindset," which is rare for Noble, during her long period of financial hardship in the past.

Therefore, upon seeing so many expensive, professional, and even rare alchemy facilities, a rare look of envy appeared in the eyes of the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

"Wow... Supervisor Tennyson's life is so carefree! His life is exactly what I dream of. Every day after work, he comes to his Secret Base, where he can work out whenever he wants, do target practice whenever he wants, and even build alchemical devices... It has a full set of top-of-the-line advanced equipment!"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot clutched her head, then sighed, "I really wish I could switch lives with Supervisor Tennyson!"

Qin Siyu, who was standing nearby, was also infected by the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot and became excited.

"Oh, wow, the thing behind this lock sounds really valuable! At first, I thought it was a bit of a rip-off since it wasn't Warehouse or anything like that, but I didn't expect these facilities to be so valuable!" Although Qin Siyu didn't understand Alchemical Equipment, she was naturally happy whenever she saw something of high value. "This is wonderful... Nightless Sky, it seems I've been a great help!"

"It's more than just a huge help," Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, holding a piece of Alchemical Equipment with obvious delight. "Being able to see the real thing, and even have the chance to try it out myself... I could die happy."

Seeing the appearance of Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, Old Zheng coughed lightly, reminding Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

"Ahem, Miss Nightless Sky Fire Apricot... I'll just mention this briefly: you don't actually need to switch lives with Supervisor Tennyson, because that guy is already 'dead'... You can completely inherit his life."

As Old Zheng reminded him, Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng.

"Your mind always works really fast at times like these, Old Zheng..."

Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng and said.

Only at moments like these could he realize... that Old Zheng was indeed the First Generation "Freud" who founded the "Psychology Society".

Although Lin Yu had realized through their time together that Old Zheng was not a "bad person" in the traditional Values, he had a conscience and Moral Concepts values, and he did not like to do things that harmed others for his own benefit.

But...

This guy was able to come up with the mission statement of the "Psychology Society," and under certain circumstances, he was indeed capable of making his Moral Concepts yield to "practical value."

In fact, this is almost a natural way of thinking for Old Zheng in some situations.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Old Zheng touched his nose and gave an awkward smile.

"I was just reminding this Miss..."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, standing nearby, was indeed inspired by Old Zheng, and her eyes lit up.

"Wow, yeah—now that Supervisor Tennyson is dead, I can indeed 'inherit' his life... I can steal all these things!"

However, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot frowned again.

"But that doesn't seem to work either... Supervisor Tennyson's house is under seizure, and although the owner of these things is dead, the ownership should have been taken over by the Divine Power Group..."

Upon hearing what Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said, Stiller also spoke up to remind her.

"Your Excellency... I don't think there's too much to worry about, because these Alchemical Equipment don't look like they were obtained by Supervisor Tennyson through legal channels—don't forget, this is a 'secret space' hidden beneath his mansion."

"These should all be unregistered 'assets'."

Lin Yu heard these words and looked at Stiller.

He remembered again... Although the Artificial Humans Stiller was not old, he was, after all, the head of the Security Department of the Truth Company and a confidant of President Paris —he had done his fair share of dirty work and filthy things.

Qin Siyu, standing to the side, became even more excited.

"I get it, this is 'stolen money' and 'stolen goods'... What I love most is double-crossing and transferring assets that the victims themselves can't even openly pursue. Nightless Sky, you're really Good luck!"

The three of them chatted away, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot also excitedly started making plans.

"Wow... so it seems I really can empty this place out... This secret space is even built underground. I can easily remove all these viewing windows, widen the passageways, and move all this equipment underground into my Secret Base... Aha, now all this 'illegal proceeds' will become the property of me, the 'Fairy Queen'!"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot spoke with great enthusiasm, and Qin Siyu immediately echoed her.

"I'll help you—secretly transferring and checking the goods upon receipt; these are skills and expertise that I'm just as good at as lock picking."

Stiller immediately nodded. "Your Excellency, I can also help with the relocation—I've dismantled quite a few Alchemical Equipment for President Paris, and I have extensive experience in relocating large equipment."

The three of them, along with Old Zheng who initially came up with the idea, had almost formed an organized criminal team.

Lin Yu listened to the increasingly outrageous remarks and sighed silently.

"Have you forgotten something?"

Upon hearing this Nightless Sky Fire Apricot looked at Lin Yu, and after thinking for a moment, sincerely said, "Thank you, Arthur. Without you, I wouldn't have made this discovery and gained anything—thank you for entrusting me with the investigation into the case of President Paris being framed. You are truly my best friend!"

Lin Yu was even more helpless. "I didn't mean you forgot to thank me... I meant, have you guys forgotten about the important matter?"

"We're here to investigate his hidden secrets, okay?"
