Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 620 New Materials (Request Subscription)

As soon as Pei Yan finished listening to the introduction, he eagerly rushed forward, joyfully caressing each container. Even though his special ability, upon awakening, could break through the material limits, it was still based on the foundation of absorbed substances. Essentially, the higher the level of materials he absorbed, the greater the extreme his body could reach.

Seeing Pei Yan's happy demeanor, Engineer Li showed a proud smile as he continued to introduce, "Not only these, but there's also this. These are the top fighter jet engines from various countries. Although not the latest models, their basic performance remains intact, and all these things are exclusively for you." While speaking, Engineer Li pointed to several foreigners standing by the warehouse with cameras in their hands and said, "Do you see them?"

Following Engineer Li's finger, Pei Yan nodded, and Engineer Li continued, "They are the escorts of this batch of equipment. From the point of departure to here, the boxes are to remain unopened until you've absorbed everything. We have no right to inspect, and this is all to maintain secrecy. This condition was also exchanged for allowing their state's special ability users to enter the Hell Plane for practical combat training, so it equates to something you earned yourself."

"Good! Good! Good!" Pei Yan exclaimed three times in a row, rubbing his hands together in eager anticipation.

Clearly, Engineer Li still wanted to keep some surprises, leading him to another storage cabinet marked with a danger sign. Whispering in his ear, "Inside are three types of hazardous gases. I'll give you a list and precautions later. Here, I advise you to use them judiciously. If it's not at the most critical moment, it's best not to use them. First, their destructive power is too strong. If you cause collateral damage, it would be an irretrievable situation. Secondly..." Engineer Li paused and pondered, "It significantly damages morale. If you don't want to be listed for strict control post-war, I suggest you never use them in the Hell Plane."

"Alright! I understand," Pei Yan solemnly replied, putting away his smile.

Having introduced these three items, Engineer Li moved to the last three containers, patted the box, and sighed, "When it comes to weapons, you've evolved a Plasma Cannon beyond what modern technology can create. To be honest, the current weapon standard can't meet the requirements. Now, there are two backup options left for you."

Pei Yan stood like a student, straight and attentive, listening patiently to Engineer Li's explanation: "The first is the laser weapons you previously didn't favor. I think you should absorb them. I read your combat reports; your full-power Plasma Cannon has always struggled with deployment and the limitation of firing more than three shots. You can completely use laser weapons to make up for the firepower gap. Compared to the distant future Plasma weapons, modern technology has made significant progress in laser weapons. Although various factors affect it in atmospheric combat scenarios, I think your evolved abilities can make up for these shortcomings."

"But aren't laser weapons only effective against high-tech products? Can they also work on people?" Pei Yan cautiously asked, not knowing much about weapons.

"Laser weapons are divided into soft and hard disruption. Soft disruption, as you said, destroys the optical components and sensors of advanced weapons, while hard disruption directly destroys your physical structures with high temperatures. These weapons are agile and accurate, hitting precisely as targeted, with no one able to react faster than its attack. Mildly, it causes blindness; severely, it penetrates with thermal damage. The biggest shortfall of this weapon now is the energy supply not being micro-sized, but this issue isn't a problem for you!"

After hearing Engineer Li's introduction, Pei Yan felt it very feasible. The Plasma Cannon had limited use and long cooldown times, and although the Electromagnetic Cannon was powerful, it took considerable time to condense and launch the projectile, reducing its frequency in close combat. Laser weapons perfectly filled the gap between the two, completing his attack system. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But knowing Engineer Li's tendency to save the best for last, he held back his impatience and asked, "Engineer Li, what's the second option?"

Expecting Pei Yan to ask this, Engineer Li spread his hands helplessly, "For the second one, even if you ask now, I don't have it. The second is a meteorological weapon. This type of weapon can't be achieved by simply absorbing something specific. It's a system project, and we're still gathering information and available materials for you in the lab. Moreover, such weapons are not very effective in direct combat. That's why we placed it as a backup option, just as a reference for you."

"Oh! Then there's no rush. I'll just absorb these things first," Pei Yan grinned, feeling relieved.

"Can you absorb them now? You haven't broken through the seventh level, have you?" Engineer Li kindly reminded.

Pei Yan waved his hand casually, "I'm already at the peak of the sixth level. Reaching the seventh level is just a small step. It's just that the timing isn't mature yet, but it doesn't matter. With my current abilities, I can completely absorb these materials into my body. Once I break through to the seventh level, these materials will fully integrate with my body and complete the evolution together."

"That's the best scenario. Otherwise, we'd have to waste another batch of storage rings, and the special personnel would be pointing fingers. If you can absorb them all at once, it'll save us a lot of hassle," Engineer Li sighed in relief, feeling fortunate.

When Pei Yan finished absorbing all the materials and walked out of the warehouse, it was already evening. Gu Shenghui had been waiting outside for quite a while, and he quickly approached when he saw Pei Yan coming out, concernedly asking, "How do you feel? Any signs of breakthrough?"

Pei Yan looked at him in surprise and asked, "It's the first time in four years you've asked me about a breakthrough, Director Gu. You've always been more composed than I am. What's up this time? Is it urgent?"

Gu Shenghui chuckled, "A bit! The higher your realm, the more confident we can be this time!"

"Who's going on this trip?" Pei Yan questioned.

"The scale is about the same as last time. The older generation includes the newly advanced Elder Yun, and from our generation, besides the four of us, there's former squad instructor Liu Xuan and Dong Shigang. Oh yeah, including those two bodyguards of yours. For this mission, we're leaving out those whose strength is relatively lower in your squad. This mission is different from large-scale battles, focusing more on individual combat skills. I've already done the ideological work for those staying behind. You'll naturally see those who are going when the time comes."

Upon hearing this lineup, Pei Yan curled his lips as it was about what he anticipated. Three at the ninth level and eight at the eighth level, this lineup was on par with the team dispatched from the Hell Plane, even though two of them were borrowed. But this was the ultimate lineup the Investigation Department could send while ensuring self-protection. With this thought, Pei Yan shrugged, "This lineup is already strong enough. We're here to observe, not fight. If they really don't know any better, we can overturn the tables. Whether I break through or not doesn't matter much, does it?"

"It matters a lot! Because you're the leader this time!" Gu Shenghui said righteously, patting Pei Yan on the shoulder.

"What?"
