Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Xi believed that this piece of information related to the gang was in line with Lin Rui's requirements—there were many people involved, and there was money to be had.

However, when she forwarded the message to the operations group, the few members inside reacted coldly.

Of course, Lin Xi would not say she had seen it directly from the security agency's intranet, but she claimed she had learned it through special channels.

Fei Yunlai looked at it and was disdainful.
Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Don't even think about it, my intuition tells me this is definitely a trap, one hundred percent!

Gong Hengdao: It is indeed a bit suspicious, now with the intense scrutiny around the ninth base city, normal people wouldn't initiate such a large-scale transaction under these circumstances, besides, if this information is only within the security agency and hasn't appeared on major dark webs yet, it is very likely a probe into security internals.

Xue Lingxue then sent a direct message to Lin Rui.

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): BOSS, I've been tailed these past few days, I must avoid meeting with you in public spaces, a former colleague of mine told me someone is investigating me.

Xue Lingxue: My father has always been performing X-grade tasks for the Federal Security Bureau, so when I was studying and working, my family identity information was classified, known to no one, the problem is my cyber-syndrome outbreak might have leaked some critical information, and the situation is a bit messy.

Lin Rui: I was just going to tell you about this, the problem isn't big, make a list of those who might expose your information and I will ask Old Zhou later to launch a top-secret mission, there are places in the Extreme Star where quantum communication chips can't be used, right? Send them all there.

Xue Lingxue understood Lin Rui's intentions in an instant, he was going to stuff all those who might leak her information into this secretive mission team, keeping them from communicating with the outside world for months.

The Third Division is the territory of the East Asian Republic, and Zhou Yunfei also has a deep foundation there.

This was the clever use of power and networks, Lin Rui had been an officer on the Extreme Star for half a year and had already mastered it well.

Yet Xue Lingxue felt a bit ashamed, stuffing her colleagues into a secretive mission group, not allowing them to communicate with the outside, wasn't this a bit too much? How was it any different from locking them up in prison?

Xue Lingxue's heart then hardened, these people dared to spread the word about her having the cyber-syndrome, it was quite generous of her not to pursue their crime of leaking secrets.

Xue Lingxue: Understood, but I still have a few classmates at the ninth division, and they might also know a bit about my situation,

Lin Rui: Hmm, that's even simpler, draft a mission application yourself and give it to me, just make sure no one dies.

Lin Rui then took another look at the intelligence Lin Xi had sent.

Even if this were a trap, it wasn't necessarily a bad deal.

However, the location of this transaction isn't quite suitable, the environment is too narrow, it doesn't give Gong Hengdao's long-range advantage a chance to shine.

Lin Rui didn't know until afterwards, in the two armored vehicles that Gong Hengdao blew up with his cyborg battle dragon, there had been four Realm Six individuals, among them an S+ ranked major general who possessed his own battle dragon.

—Such sniping skills are simply too awesome! Truly befitting an entity with an SSS-grade overall firearms evaluation.

Lin Rui was already looking forward to the level of fighting power Gong Hengdao would demonstrate once his syndrome improved and he ascended to Realm Seven.

Lin Rui: Old Fei, Old Gong, accompany me to a place tomorrow, bring all the gear, including the battle dragon, Xiao Xi, you also need to prepare for deep dive tomorrow, you have to help me verify something on the net related to the super AI, I want to know if it's actually its core.

Lin Rui: Xiao Xue, have your 5S operation group ready tomorrow, along with those Jie Long 6 and Jie Long 7, position them here on standby.

The place Lin Rui was heading to was the core location of Guang Ming Heart number 9.

From what this super AI revealed about itself, it was indeed valuable.

The key was that this AI was willing to disclose the location of its core to him.

Any intelligent AI, whether or not it has awakened its intellectual personality, as long as its core location is controlled by someone, will be at their mercy.

They can indeed cut and paste their program into other computers, thus drifting through the network.

But there's an issue, after copying their program, are they still themselves?

The fact is that after these intelligent AIs are copied or cut and pasted, their intellectual personalities vanish, equal to a newborn.

It's not like human soul ascension, when human souls are uploaded to supercomputers, the soul's main body is actually inside the supercomputer, always unique.

Lin Rui thought it was worth a look, as long as he could control the core of Guang Ming Heart number 9, then the risks he had previously been wary of would cease to exist.

There was also the High Priest of Guang Ming Heart number 9—Lin Rui had always wanted to kill this person, yet had always been unable to find him.

Lin Rui pondered and then sent another message to Xue Lingxue: Notify the armed police forces to deploy a heavy reinforced battalion on standby.

Why did he join the security agency? It was because of these conveniences!

Lin Rui was no match for this Realm Seven High Priest, but as long as he knew the person's location, he could easily send him to his death.

There were no matches these two days, so Lin Rui descended in spirit to the Extreme Star that very afternoon.

At that moment, Lin Rui was aboard the official vessel sailing on the Grand Canal, about to enter the Sky Suspension River, not far from Luo Jing.

Therefore, he must come down to handle some necessary affairs.

But no sooner had Lin Rui's consciousness descended than he felt something weighty inside his sleeve.

He reached into the container and surprisingly pulled out a large stack of silver notes, roughly counting them, they amounted to 120,000 liang, along with 700 liang worth of divine gold notes, valued at 190 million federal currency.

He then checked the records in his biological chip and discovered they were 'Cheng Yi' given by the officials along the way.

Knowing that Lin Rui's ship would not dock, these people took boats to intercept him on the river, presenting gifts under various pretexts, even embedding in merchandise under the guise of 'local specialties,' which eventually accumulated to this much.

Because of this, his journey was delayed by several days.

Lin Rui's expression darkened immediately; all those silver notes were hidden on Ji Xueying's body, and his avatar should be penniless.

During the half month on the ship, Lin Rui's Primordial Spirit had been in the base city.

First, he was busy earning money through live streaming, and activities like the martial arts league and capturing the Nursery Rhyme Killer also took up some of his time; second, his original body had a complete pseudo Golden Core, and its physical quality had fully surpassed his avatar. Following the avatar assimilation effect, he had to exercise in the base city so that both his original body and avatar would benefit.

And life on the ship was indeed quite boring.

Lin Rui did not expect such a big problem to arise after he hadn't descended for just a half month.

Lin Rui quickly realized there was an issue with his behavior pattern.

His auxiliary AI, mimicking his actions and based on Lin Rui's previous acceptance of local specialties and Cheng Yi, did not refuse any gifts.

Lin Rui broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that his AI had really screwed him over; this journey had predestined him as a corrupt official.

He opened the chat window with his senior brother, Li Li.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Senior brother, what's going on with my avatar? Why did it collect so much money? Why didn't you advise against it?

Li Li's avatar, Li Guli, was also traveling to the capital with him.

He and Wang Sen had different tasks, Wang Sen being in charge of security, while Li Li acted as a mentor.

Li Li studied under Han Kedao, possessing profound knowledge and more than capable of passing the Hanlin scholar exam, sufficient for the mentor's duties.

Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): I did advise, your avatar insisted on accepting.

Lin Rui was startled by this response, then checked the videos and indeed found it to be true.

However, his brother could have sent a message to notify him as well.

Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): I think it's not a big issue. Brother, you are considered very incorruptible in the Great Song dynasty. And I checked carefully, they did not give much, they just wanted to get familiar with you. So, you don't need to take it too seriously. When you meet these people in the future, just keep it polite on the surface. If a crime should happen to be in your hands, then it must be dealt with accordingly. As an official, you must learn to switch your stance as easily as turning a page.

Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): Also, if you want to mingle among the upper echelons of the imperial city, you must have some local connections. If you don't accept their money, they wouldn't dare get close to you. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you. If it's inappropriate, I will definitely notify you.

After reading this, Lin Rui pondered and felt that Li Li's words made a lot of sense.

He looked at himself in the mirror, touched his chin, and thought that he still was a clean official.

So Lin Rui gathered the silver and gold notes and began to focus internally on his physical body.

This past month, his avatar had been trained by the auxiliary intelligence according to his preset memories, practicing the Great Grandmaster level 'Rising Sun Stance'; whether Solidifying Pills or Body Refinement, the effect was about 5% off from his own bodily consciousness.

However, under the influence of the avatar assimilation effect and the medication, the actual disparity was even less.

By now, his Golden Core was 82% complete.

"Indeed, it is generating abyssal essence! No, it's pseudo abyssal essence."

Lin Rui's eyes gleamed with excitement: "This is a pseudo-divine level Golden Core!"

Lin Rui thought this research result might even promote his teacher, Professor Sima, to an academician.

Lin Rui then concentrated, sensing the surging energy inside the Golden Core.

Continuously consuming various homemade pills for a half month, Lin Rui had accumulated a massive amount of ether elements for transforming his dragon armor.

But it still was not enough; he needed to accumulate for a longer period.

For his first transformation into dragon armor, it would be ideal to cover the entire front chest like Blood Blade Ji did; covering the entire half-chest and back would be even better.

Lin Rui also sensed the impending awakening of his ultimate heart source!

This was also key for breaking through the 'Dragon Metamorphosis' phase.

His sister once told him about the benefits of awakening the 'Ultimate Heart Source': in the future, whenever he breached any boundary, the 'Ultimate Heart Source' would help reinforce him specifically.

"Only 10 days left!"

Lin Rui looked ahead; in another 10 days, he would arrive in Luo Jing, and that would also be his Dragon Metamorphosis day.

In the end, Lin Rui looked again at the outside deck, where Wang Sen was practicing martial arts on the gangplank.

He knew his brother was diligently cultivating, striving to pass the Heavenly Demon Test on the day Lin Rui took office.
