Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Xi didn't rashly insert the black card she held into the built-in card slot of the Tianyan quantum computer.

She first checked online for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought so."

Lin Rui looked at her, puzzled, "What's going on?"

"This card contains a special chip made by an underground bank; it requires a custom card reader to access, or the associated account will be frozen."

Lin Xi opened an online shopping site and ordered some tools and parts.

Three minutes later, when the delivery arrived, Lin Xi, with skillful hands, began assembling the parts.

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, "Are you making a card reader yourself? You're quite adept."

Lin Xi didn't answer.

A brilliant hacker must also have a thorough understanding of various hardware components.

The hacking equipment she had used in the past was assembled from discarded parts found in trash piles, under the guidance of "Fei Yan."

Although her craftsmanship wasn't comparable to those mechanics who could manually assemble combat robots, making a card reader was not a problem for her.

About ten minutes later, Lin Xi inserted the card into her homemade card reader and began operating on her Tianyan Model 9 quantum computer.

Her gaze was focused, giving her all.

Lin Xi had chosen today to confront the issues because she realized that the young man in white clothes Lin Rui had been tracking was very likely the person who had killed "Lin Rui" a few months ago.

They had battled fiercely at the Second City Rail Station. The young man in white was almost killed by Lin Rui, but he eventually escaped with the help of several companions.

Beyond that, her brother Lin Rui also hid very well!

Where had Lin Rui gone tonight?

Lin Xi used her hacking skills to track him down, even taking over the police station's monitoring apparatus, yet she hadn't found Lin Rui's whereabouts.

However, she knew Lin Rui trusted Ambola Shared Company and subsequently found two taxi records there.

What alarmed her even more was the discovery of a massacre at the "Iron Fist Entertainment Company" owned by the Blood Lizard Gang near Lin Rui's taxi spot. The incident resulted in 157 deaths, including Wang Li, the big leader of the Blood Lizard Gang.

Lin Xi then broke into the police archives and was shocked to discover that the Blood Lizard Gang had been hit multiple times recently, with almost identical methods used each time.

From the black bank card Lin Rui had shown her, Lin Xi had already guessed some of the truth.

Lin Xi realized she needed to join Lin Rui's team, which might help her understand the whole truth.

She felt she also had a responsibility, as a sister, not to let Lin Rui wreak havoc unchecked.

There needed to be a plan to ensure safety.

Therefore, not only was this a confrontation, but it was also her time to prove her capabilities.

Just 7 minutes later, Lin Xi's pupils slightly constricted, her expression one of extreme shock.

She turned her head to look firmly at Lin Rui, her face blank and bewildered.

"Did it fail? No worries, although I don't understand, I feel your hacking skills are probably quite good," said Lin Rui, seemingly unconcerned, as a failure would only result in a loss of millions, which he guessed was about the amount on the card.

At least it confirmed that Lin Xi had potential in this area.

"No, this is an unregistered black card from Han Ji, the largest underground bank in the lower district. As for the amount—" Lin Xi gulped,then turned to show a video screen to Lin Rui, "See for yourself."

Was this black bank card really the one Lin Rui had snatched from Wang Li?

Lin Rui hadn't cared at first, but after a glance, he was also stunned.

It was a ten-digit number with many zeros trailing.

Lin Rui blinked, then thought for a moment, and opened the chat box of Fei Yunlai.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Old Fei, I have good news and bad news here, which do you want to hear first?"

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): "Don't tell me, I don't want to hear!"

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "I have already had someone crack the bank card's password, the good news is the money inside is extremely substantial, amounting to 2.8 billion Federal currency, the bad news is also that the amount is 2.8 billion."

Fei Yunlai was taking a shower in the room at that moment, his heart skipped a beat, nearly triggering angina.

Is that true? Is there really 2.8 billion in the card?

Hallucination, right?

Fei Yunlai then saw the screenshot sent by Lin Rui, and his face contorted, he vehemently stomped and drummed his chest, thumping loudly on the floor.

He clearly had the chance to take half of that huge fortune!

But what did this guy mean by bad news? Was it to mock himself for not choosing to share the spoils?

Fei Yunlai narrowed his eyes.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): "Do you mean, that money might not truly belong to Wang Li, that there might be trouble following?"

This little guy is impressive!

He can predict three moves ahead and isn't blinded by the sudden wealth.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Isn't that expected? Wang Li, a gang leader, couldn't possibly have so much operational funds. Moreover, I've checked his background; it's clear someone has been supporting him from behind.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Old Fei, if you have the resources, look into who's behind Wang Li. We need to know our enemies as well as we know ourselves, and not wait until trouble knocks at our door before we understand what's happening.

Fei Yunlai again felt a wrench in his heart. Lin Rui's words clearly meant that although he took the money, the subsequent troubles had to be borne by both of them.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Lin Rui, have you thought about what to do with the money? How about you consider investing it with me? I guarantee to return it with interest within three years. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Looking at the message, Lin Rui let out a cold 'heh', realizing that only a penniless Bull could be of use to him.

A wealthy Bull would be like a kite in the wind, impossible to pull back!

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): No interest. I have use for the money, but I might need your help again later. I'm busy now; let's talk next time.

Lin Rui closed the chat window and turned, his eyes coldly glaring at Lin Xi: "I met with Uncle this noon, and he said you absolutely must not undergo implantation, or it would be fatal. What's this all about?"

Lin Xi's face paled slightly; she knew there wouldn't be any good news from her brother meeting with Uncle.

She crossed her arms, saying stiffly, "This is my own business, none of your concern! And you should know some of our family's circumstances. If I don't undergo implantation now, are we just waiting for others to doom us?"

Lin Xi actually wanted to ask, what happened with you being shot in the head three months ago? How did you survive?

Since it's a showdown, then everything should be made clear.

But Lin Xi didn't dare to ask; she was genuinely afraid of the answer Lin Rui might give and didn't want him to know that she had already seen the footage of him being shot in the head.

She wanted to investigate it herself, and judging from her brother's actions, he seemed to be investigating as well?

Lin Rui frowned and said nothing, opening Divine Doctor Sima's chat window instead.

At this time, he didn't care that it was deep into the night.

Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): Little Rui, I can't say much about the specifics due to certain reasons, but I can tell you Lin Xi's condition is indeed dire. The more she uses implants, the faster she moves toward death. I wanted you to learn medicine from me so that you could find the answers yourself, especially in internal medicine, concerning implants and biotechnology.

Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): Also, becoming an Exotic Body Walker is indeed a way out. You need to strengthen her spiritual power quickly, as it can effectively delay and ease her condition. Moreover, there might be a real solution within Tianji Star that could save her, but that depends on your luck.

After reading the message, Lin Rui felt extremely heavy-hearted.

Even Professor Sima thinks Lin Xi is doomed?

In this age of highly advanced technology, where even cancer has been conquered, are there still incurable diseases?

Lin Rui called out to his Battle Spirit Ring in his mind.

"Battle Spirit Ring, help me copy advanced-level medical skills!"@@novelbin@@

Lin Rui already possessed Great Grandmaster-level basic and intermediate medical skills, and now he was copying advanced medical skills.

However, the level 2 Battle Spirit's advanced medical skills only reached the level of True Essence.

Notification: To exchange for advanced medical skills (True Essence), you need 8000 Soul Points.

Lin Rui thought to himself how expensive these high-level skills were!

Nevertheless, he didn't hesitate to do the exchange and additionally spent 12000 Soul Points to raise the skill level to Great Grandmaster.

The medical skills he exchanged from Ji Shenyan were specialized for the people of Tianji Star.

However, Lin Rui thought that since both are carbon-based life-forms, their medical principles should have something in common.

He felt that the medicine of Tianji Star, similar to the traditional Chinese medicine of the East Asian Republic, if delved into deeply, might suggest a shared lineage.

"Battle Spirit Ring, what level are my internal and surgical skills? Can they be deduced?"

Notification: You have limited knowledge of internal and surgical disciplines; no related skills.

Notification: Battle Spirit Ring can perform related deductions. Would you like to use 3000 Soul Points to acquire basic internal medicine (beginner level), or 3000 Soul Points to acquire basic surgery (beginner level)?

Notification: Increasing the completeness of the Battle Spirit Ring can reduce the Soul Points needed for deduction.

Without hesitation, Lin Rui used 20000 Soul Points to increase the completeness of the Battle Spirit Ring by 30%.

He found that the cost of mastering 'basic internal medicine (beginner level)' had been reduced to 2000 points.

It still seemed like a rip-off! If he could directly copy from the Battle Spirit, probably 200 points could exchange for a beginner-level basic skill.

Yet, Lin Rui still exchanged for basic internal medicine and basic surgery and spent another 10000 points to raise these two skills to the level of Great Grandmaster.

This time, he spent a lot of Soul Points, but his sister's life was more important, so he couldn't care less.

These two basic skills allowed him to gain some fundamental understanding of the human body.

To Lin Rui's surprise, as his intelligence and insight were maximally elevated by the Battle Spirit Ring and he began deducing, the advanced medical skills of Tianji Star he mastered indeed sparked off numerous revelations with the basic internal and surgical skills he was deducing, and with the pharmacological knowledge he knew.

Lin Rui closed his eyes and sat for a while, then extended his hand towards Lin Xi: "Give me your hand, and stick out your tongue for me to see."

Lin Xi looked suspicious but still passed her small hand over.

Lin Rui held Lin Xi's wrist pulse, carefully sensing and discerning, and after a while, his eyes tightened.
