Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui was astonished, thinking to himself, Could Professor Han actually have such connections?

The so-called "starting with the rank and treatment of a brigadier general at the Security Bureau" must mean that his abilities hadn't reached the rank of brigadier general, but he could still receive the rank and treatment of one at the Security Bureau? Or actually control a department with a top-secret clearance of a 3S level?

Could this be true?

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Professor, what exactly is the situation? The Federal Security Bureau wouldn't recruit me without any reason.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): I'm not sure how to explain it since it's quite complicated. Take a look at this video recording, it's meant to be seen and then destroyed.

Professor Han immediately sent a video over, and after watching it, Lin Rui's brows gradually furrowed.

At the moment, he was being escorted by Xue Lingxue toward a distant armored police car, but Lin Rui was entirely lost in thought, causing great confusion for Xue Lingxue beside him.

She could tell that Lin Rui was communicating with someone, but had no idea what could be so distracting to make him so absent-minded.

It seemed like he didn't care at all that he had been handcuffed and was about to be detained at the police station.

Xue Lingxue thought about it and decided not to disable the communication function of Lin Rui's personal smart terminal.

Her intention was just to scare the guy, not to really do anything to him.

The trouble this time was too big; the entire orbital station and a vacuum rail tube were severely damaged, and an orbital train was badly damaged as well.

Fortunately, none of the more than 30 injured people in the incident died, thanks to timely treatment, or else the situation would have been even more problematic.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): The person in the video is an old classmate of mine named Zhou Yunfei, a prosthesis general of the Security Bureau, currently serving as the director of the Security Bureau's Ninth Division.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): Just watch the video, and make sure not to let out any information. I didn't get his permission for this video, and though what he says is almost common knowledge among the upper echelons of the Ninth City base, leaks could still lead to some trouble.

After watching, Lin Rui thought to himself that this was truly problematic.

The bother wasn't Zhou Yunfei wanting to see the dossier, but rather his identity as an alien walker.

If he really could become a commander of the Divine Envoy, then he could easily sort this out.

The problem was that after this contact with the Security Bureau, there would definitely be more trouble in the future.

If there is one time, there will be a second time. Could the Security Bureau encounter an issue and not think of him, a "traitor" from within the Tianji Star people?

On the other hand, could he really assume the position of a commander of the Divine Envoy? To be in charge of such an important department as the Imperial City Division?

Is this grand model's prediction accurate?

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Professor, if I refuse, will they take further action? If I agree to cooperate, then the chances of exposing my identity are also quite high, right?

Admiration appeared in Professor Han's eyes. This kid was indeed smart, catching on to the key point immediately.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): From what I know of Old Zhou, that guy is already desperate. He's like a drowning man clutching at every straw he can use. If we refuse, he will surely investigate our relationship further and try every means to persuade you, getting you to agree to cooperate.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): Once you agree, the likelihood of exposing your identity rises significantly. However, from the moment you become a commander of the Divine Envoy, there's a very high chance of being exposed anyway.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): You might not imagine how much the Federal Security Bureau values this department. In the fourteen divisions of the Security Bureau on Tianji Star, each has a dedicated department closely monitoring the Divine Envoy's every move. Once you are in charge, your every action will be scrutinized and analyzed under a magnifying glass, and they will even create AI models to simulate your thinking; the problem is, you can't possibly not show a single flaw.

Lin Rui's headache intensified, thinking that his promotion had actually led to trouble.

He understood Professor Han's meaning; since exposure was inevitable sooner or later, it was better to deal openly and secure the best treatment while he was most needed by the other party.

The dossier Zhou Yunfei needed was a significant bargaining chip.

And with the help of the resources of the Security Bureau's Ninth Division, he could better hide his identity as an alien walker.

A prosthesis general, the director of a division of the Security Bureau, could provide him with strong and powerful protection.

Lin Rui knew that the position of commander of the Divine Envoy was indeed very important and closely watched by all sides.

Once his alien identity was seen through by someone within the Earth Federation, things would become complicated.

Protected by the Third Divine Envoy, his alien self could stride about within Tianji Star, but his original self only had the Fang family to rely on.

According to what Lin Rui had learned so far, the Fang family's influence in the political arena was strong, but in terms of military and financial power, it wasn't very prominent.

The Tianlan Group had developed in the last two hundred years and was still far from a top financial conglomerate.

Lin Rui envisioned the better outcome for himself: being taken over and controlled by a major power within the Earth Federation. If his luck was poor, then he would no longer have freedom over his life and death and would be exploited until death.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Professor, what do you think of Zhou Yunfei? Is he reliable?

Lin Rui knew that to survive in the bureaucracy, especially in a secretive agency like the Security Bureau, the most important thing was to follow the right person.

Lin Rui's smooth sailing in his Tianji Star career was because he had followed a good superior.

He was self-aware enough to know that even with his capabilities, if he hadn't met Zhuang Mingyue, he wouldn't have reached his current status.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): From my years of knowing Old Zhou, I can say he is quite loyal and not the kind of person to kick someone down after crossing the river, nor is he foolish enough to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): Zhou Yunfei is a peak 'prosthesis general' with a combat composite rating of SS+, and it's almost a given that he would advance to a 1-star marshal. He could even now enter the eighth realm of martial arts and receive a marshal's rank by lowering his prosthesis rating and removing one or two pieces of prosthesis.

Feng Huo Lian Cheng (Han Kedao): However, the Ninth Division is a stumbling block in his career. Zhou Yunfei is a figure who the East Asian Republic has been heavily grooming within the Security Bureau. The East Asian Republic now expects him to reform the Ninth Division and purge all sorts of internal strife. This step will determine whether he can obtain more resources from the East Asian Republic and shape his future within the Security Bureau. However, judging from the current situation, he's not in a good position.

Lin Rui couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui), "So, Professor, you think the timing is right now?"

Han Kedao (Han Kedao), "If you could accept his recruitment, it would be a timely aid for him. And with your status within the Imperial City Division, you could enjoy a confidentiality level of SSS or above at any institution."

Han Kedao (Han Kedao), "The key point is, I share a common teacher with him; he works in the secret service department of the East Asian Republic and is a two-star marshal. So even if Zhou Yunfei isn't reliable or something happens, I can find a way to cover for you. The East Asian Republic is desperate for someone with your qualifications."

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui), "!!!"

Lin Rui was astonished. So the professor had such connections?

This person was actually a student of a two-star marshal.

Meanwhile, in the office, Han Kedao could only let out a bitter laugh.

He hadn't fared very well in the years since his graduation and felt ashamed to even mention that teacher, to the extent that he normally didn't dare to contact him.

However—

Han Kedao looked at a mirror beside him and saw his own flourishing youthful reflection.

After the success of the Qin Yan Fortress project, he would have enough resources to build his own top-tier armored war dragon.

As long as the Federation completed the armament of the war dragon successfully, the "Dragon Transformation" on Tianji Star would be much easier.

This was precisely the advantage that an abhuman walker had over the ordinary people of Tianji Star.

A 69-year-old SS-ranked Brigadier General wouldn't let his teacher down.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui), "I understand, Professor. But I can't make a decision in such a short time. Please help me stall for a few days, and if that's not possible, I can start by making contact on Tianji Star. I need to see his sincerity."

Such a significant matter required Lin Rui to carefully analyze the pros and cons and think it through before making a decision.

When Lin Rui turned off the chat system, he saw Xue Lingxue's face, which could easily switch between joy and annoyance.

"Done talking?" Xue Lingxue's eyes, distinct in black and white, glared at Lin Rui, "Do you realize how serious this is, Lin Rui? I know you're very confident in your own strength, but what if they've set a trap specifically to lure and ambush you—"

Lin Rui was about to respond when he received another call request.

The label in the address book read 'Junior Partner Radford Comming from Purple Gold Flower Law Firm.'

Lin Rui immediately answered the call.

His smart terminal also projected Radford Comming's video image.

"Mr. Lin, I have familiarized myself with your situation."

Attorney Kang Mingkai's expression was solemn, with a hint of warning as he looked at Xue Lingxue, "From the video at the scene, there was nothing inappropriate in your actions. The first to attack was 'Death Gaze' Horn, a well-known assassin from Base City No. 9 and an SS-ranked fugitive wanted by the entire Federation! Any reactive actions you took in that situation were justified, and everything you did was in self-defense. I've already protested to the police, and they will release you immediately!"

Lin Rui's lips curved slightly, thinking this was the advantage of hiring a top law firm.

The one million Federation dollars he spent on attorney fees each month weren't wasted.

Originally, he hired Attorney Kang Mingkai as his legal advisor to prevent legal disputes during live broadcasts, but he hadn't expected to first see the value of this top lawyer in this aspect.

Xue Lingxue's complexion turned ashen. She had already received orders from her superiors.

Yet Xue Lingxue was reluctant, her eyes, clear in black and white, moving slightly.

Although the police had no right to detain Lin Rui, she was also a Lieutenant Colonel in the Security Bureau!

She could still take Lin Rui in, citing public safety concerns, to teach him a lesson.

As Xue Lingxue hesitated, she received a message from her superior.

Zhou Yunfei, "Lieutenant Colonel Xue, I recall you're from the abhuman special agents, right?"

Xue Lingxue's mind tensed, and she was puzzled.

Xue Lingxue, "Yes, General. I used to work in the abhuman department, but after being transferred to Base City No. 9, my abhuman identity has been sealed."

The Federation Security Bureau's abhuman special agents ceased activities on Tianji Star, and their abhuman aspects were stored in designated places to prevent any damage that might affect the primary body.

Zhou Yunfei, "Reactivate it! I need your abhuman to head to Shazhou to meet someone for me. This task has a confidentiality level of SSS+, and you must not disclose it to anyone. I will arrange for someone to prepare a workplace for you and a quantum descent apparatus."

Xue Lingxue's gaze grew even more puzzled.

The minister was going to prepare a quantum descent apparatus specifically for her?

Even the cheapest model of the "quantum descent apparatus" on the market cost fifty million Federation dollars.

This device consumed three hundred thousand Federation dollars in electric charges per day, but it could support the conscience descent of fifty abhuman walkers onto Tianji Star at the same time.

For companies, the cost could be justified, but for personal use, it was a resource-devouring beast.

Why was the minister willing to use such resources, and what kind of mission was he assigning to her?

Xue Lingxue looked at Lin Rui coldly, then with a snort, unlocked his handcuffs.
