Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014: Chapter 407: Girl Group Chapter 1014: Chapter 407: Girl Group Zhuge Liuyun's surveillance of Yan Fei's comings and goings in the Quadrangle Courtyard had actually been detected long ago by the Artificial Intelligence “Dream.” The reason why this surveillance team was exposed was that they used the latest surveillance equipment, which had to be connected to the internet to function, and the moment they went online, they were discovered by “Dream.”

Because of “Dream,” Yan Fei had known for several days that he was under surveillance and had traced back to find out who was monitoring him. So, to avoid exposure and to use this surveillance team as an alibi, he put a lot of thought into finding another route, launching a surprise attack from underground to kill Yang Liu.

What the monitors didn't know was that, while they were watching Yan Fei, he was also using “Dream” to perform counter-surveillance using those high-tech devices, having complete understanding of their every move. Yan Fei had just acquired four Drone Upgrade Essential Items when “Dream” detected Zhuge Liuyun and Gu Xiaolan entering the surveillance team's room, so “Dream” immediately informed Yan Fei of this through the secret mailbox.

As his strength increased, Yan Fei grew more confident in himself, able to remain composed even when facing a God-Level Expert. However, there was one person he did not want to confront, and that was Gu Xiaolan. Yan Fei had previously engaged in a battle of wits with Gu Xiaolan in France, and although he had deceived her, he felt uneasy. He sensed a great threat from Gu Xiaolan, a threat that stemmed from the soul level, which at times made him shudder. Although Yan Fei could not see through Gu Xiaolan's depth, he knew how terrifying she was.

The second time he saw Gu Xiaolan was in Africa. At that time, Gu Xiaolan, with a single firearm, was able to easily severely wound the berserk Thunder Controller who had pushed Yan Fei into a desperate state, forcing him to flee immediately, increasing Yan Fei's wariness of her to an extreme extent.

Though it seemed Gu Xiaolan had ambushed her targets, the fact that she could injure a God-Level Expert with her weapon proved her exceptional capabilities. Yan Fei was not yet a God-Level Expert himself, and becoming an enemy of Gu Xiaolan would be extremely dangerous. Yan Fei also had an intuition that although Gu Xiaolan had always relied on firearms to harm others, she must have other skills, which she had perfectly concealed.

So when he discovered that Gu Xiaolan, this extremely dangerous person, had come near his home, Yan Fei immediately sped up his return, getting back to the Quadrangle Courtyard in the shortest possible time. Then, Yan Fei hurriedly took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and pretended to read and drink tea in the courtyard, just in time to deceive Zhuge Liuyun's drone probe.

Yan Fei used “Dream” to monitor the internet, discovering the surveillance operation against him in advance, and completely grasping every action of Zhuge Liuyun and the surveillance team, creating deceiving appearances based on the opponent's actions, successfully fooling Zhuge Liuyun and Gu Xiaolan without revealing any of his secrets, perfectly proving the importance of intelligence.

Subsequently, under the continuous monitoring of “Dream,” Yan Fei found that Zhuge Liuyun and Gu Xiaolan were beginning to withdraw from the area, along with their surveillance team. Yan Fei understood clearly that the opposition had not found any leverage against him and therefore had begun their withdrawal. It was only at this point that Yan Fei breathed a sigh of relief because he was now completely safe.

Yan Fei calmly finished his tea before slowly returning to his room. He took out the eight large chests he had retrieved from the Ancient Well and stacked them in the bathroom. The chests, originally of very good material, had started to rot extensively after being soaked in the underground mud for nearly three hundred years. So when Yan Fei gently tapped on a chest, it fell apart, followed by the sound of “clatter,” and the contents of the chests rolled out.

Four of these eight chests contained calligraphy and paintings by famous figures from various dynasties in history. When sinking these chests into the Ancient Well, they were wrapped in thick waterproof cowhide, and even the calligraphy and paintings inside were wrapped in oil paper to prevent water and moisture damage.

Li Zicheng's idea was simple at the time: to temporarily hide these calligraphy and paintings in the Ancient Well and to retrieve them after some time when he returned to Beijing, thus preserving them from harm. However, Li Zicheng's defeat was rapid and he died soon after, never returning to Beijing, and so no one remembered the buried calligraphy and paintings.

After soaking in the well's water for hundreds of years, not only was the cowhide enveloping the chests completely decomposed, but the calligraphy and paintings inside the oil paper had also rotted away. When Yan Fei opened these chests, he found that all the calligraphy and paintings had disappeared, leaving only piles of black mush, indistinguishable from what they originally were.

In the other four chests, however, were various types of gold and silver treasures. When the chests were broken by Yan Fei, these treasures spilled out, covering the floor. Most of these treasures were gold and silver, but due to years of oxidation underwater, the gold had lost its luster, and the silver had even turned black. In addition, items like pearls, jade, and gemstones had long since been damaged beyond recognition, unable to be identified as their original forms.
