Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

"So the Governor of Shazhou has been brought down just like that?"

Lin Rui was alarmed.

The Governor of Shazhou had been in office for less than half a year; not long after his appointment, he sank several starships of the federal military and destroyed their quantum communication relays. At that time, he was vigorous and formidable, and his momentum was astounding. And now he was overthrown?

Meng Weiyun said this person was suspected of 'defying the gods' and ordered for his arrest and questioning in the capital. Once convicted of such a charge, his death was certain, and not only would he be doomed, but so too his family.

Even if he managed to escape by luck and cleared his name, this fellow would still be stripped bare. He would never again be able to hold any senior position in the court of the Great Song.

Lin Rui wondered if it could be because of him?

All he did was throw a bit of dirt on this man, enough to bring down the mighty Governor of Shazhou? That's impossible—

Meng Weiyun didn't explain the details in her letter. Her meaning was that the reaction of the Governor of Shazhou next was unpredictable, and he might not be willing to obediently comply. As the newly appointed Chief of Judicial Watch, he needed to be prepared. If the Governor of Shazhou showed any intent of rebellion, he would have to respond accordingly and deal with him with thunderous methods.

After reading the letter, Lin Rui frowned deeply, sensing a great trouble.

The Governor of Shazhou was a great master with cultivation at the eighth realm, holding a second-rank official title. Lin Rui had just achieved Core Formation; how was he to strike such a heavy-hitter with thunderous methods?

However, the court had not yet finalized the charges against the Governor of Shazhou, simply stating that he would be taken to the capital for interrogation. Surely he wouldn't react too violently, would he?

Lin Rui continued to read the contents of the letter.

He discovered that Meng Weiyun also hinted in the letter, asking whether the trade with the Heavenly Demons from beyond the realm had been completed, and if this connection was reliable? Could he help her buy some items?

This senior sister was probably worried that her Civilian Umbrella may be intercepted and could leave written evidence, so she was very cryptic with her words. Anyone not paying careful attention might not even notice it.

Lin Rui immediately replied to Meng Weiyun with a letter, which was carried away by her Civilian Umbrella.

He himself was a Heavenly Demon from beyond the realm, so this connection was certainly reliable, and there was no way he would scam his own senior sister.

But in this letter, Lin Rui not only used cryptic language but also appeared extremely troubled, self-blaming, and guilt-ridden. In short, in the name of resisting demons, he was forced to make a deal with the Heavenly Demons, which tainted his pure soul.

Lin Rui also mentioned that the Heavenly Demons he was in contact with were rather trustworthy, supposedly from the Republic of East Asia.

Their Type 5 bloodline enhancement drug was priced at 3,500 taels of demon silver, but he was unsure of the market and whether it was genuine.

Currently, the government agency in charge of external organisms priced a Type 5 bloodline enhancement drug at 3 million federal dollars, which was equivalent to 3,000 taels of demon silver.

However, as a Major General in the Federal Security Bureau, he could use internal channels and didn't need to pay the extra money to purchase from the government agency in charge.

He could buy it in the ninth base city for 1 million federal dollars, and then have it delivered by the Security Bureau's starship at no extra shipping cost.

Special agents of the Federal Security Bureau's External Organisms Division had a certain exemption for shipping each year.

As a Major General in the Security Bureau, Lin Rui could waive about 200 kilograms of shipping weight a year. If he went over that number, he only had to pay half of what the government agency in charge would charge.

Lin Rui wondered whether he was being too outrageous with his pricing?

The problem was, if it was too cheap, his senior sister wouldn't believe it.

While others would mark up 50% on top of the government agency's prices, his markup of 16% was extremely conscientious.

The very next day, Meng Weiyun replied to him with a hidden message in the form of a list, asking him to inquire about the prices from the Heavenly Demons from beyond the realm.

Lin Rui was secretly alarmed, as the list involved several types of Type 5 and Type 6 drugs in significant quantities and varieties, as well as an SS+ grade artificial Golden Core. Calculated at the government agency's prices, the total transaction would be 300,000 taels of demon silver.

If he were to purchase these for Meng Weiyun, wouldn't that be equivalent to aiding the enemy?

He didn't dare make such a decision on his own and asked for instructions from his immediate superior, Zhou Yunfei.

Zhou Yunfei was generous and simply told him to go ahead and sell.

Within the Security Bureau and the internal circles of the Republic of East Asia, it was accepted that drugs below Type 8 were not regulated.

If the Republic of East Asia didn't sell these kinds of drugs, other member states of the federation would.

However, Zhou Yunfei cautioned him to be mindful of the quantity, as he should not sell too much at once.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Rui changed the pricing back and forth. Finally, enduring the torment of his conscience and with a heavy heart, he wrote down the price of 380,000 taels of demon silver.

According to the trade rules of the Heavenly Demons, the more goods traded, the higher the risk, and therefore, it was necessary to increase the price!

The next day, Meng Weiyun's Civilian Umbrella came again, accompanied by 21 silver notes with a denomination of 10,000 taels each, instructing him to purchase these items and send them to the capital together.

Her words actually contained a hint of surprise, suggesting that Lin Rui must secure this connection.

Meng Weiyun also said that the set of Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor she made for him cost a total of 170,000 two of demon silver in production fees.

Since the materials Lin Rui provided were extremely precious and the production cost was high, she had paid for it in advance and directly deducted it from the transaction amount.

Lin Rui did some calculations and discovered that even after deducting this sum, he had actually still made a profit of 70,000 two of demon silver.

He felt a twinge of conscience and thought that he must treat Sister Meng better in the future.

70,000 two of demon silver, according to the Exchange Bureau's rate, is 70 million federal coins.

Lin Rui gathered some additional silver, and together with this demon silver, he paid Fei Yunlai a commission of 130,000 two of demon silver, totaling 130 million federal coins in value.

He felt sorry for Old Fei, as working for a living was hard, and therefore he could not delay payments that were due.@@novelbin@@

Lin Rui also purchased everything Meng Weiyun had requested, though the delivery time was a month and a half later, after his arrival in the capital city to collect his goods.

One reason was that Wang City Prefecture didn't have a branch of the Federal Security Bureau; another was that if Lin Rui carried the goods himself, it would add unnecessary risk.

However, when Lin Rui was buying these concoctions, he worried again for Old Fei.

This General Fei harbored deep grudges against Meng Weiyun, and had mentioned more than once in his presence that he would make her pay one day.

But once Sister Meng switched her Cultivation Technique and injected herself with the concoctions he had purchased on her behalf, Old Fei might not stand a chance against her next time.

In the following ten days or so, Lin Rui not only intensified his martial arts practice but also increased the harvesting of Soul Power points at the Ninth Base City.

Unfortunately, during these ten days, Lin Rui only harvested six times, and the quantity was far less than that of the old-age care center incident, with at most just over 100 people, bringing his Soul Power points up to 553,211.

The gangs in both the upper and lower districts had become vigilant, investing heavily at their strongholds to enhance the ventilation systems and the installation of posture sensing equipment. They avoided gathering unnecessarily, making it difficult for Lin Rui to find a suitable opportunity to strike.

Lin Rui could hardly understand how a gang called the Tiger Teeth Gang even installed a Type 7 Ether Radar above their toilets, along with a high-powered ventilation machine worth 500,000 federal coins. It was simply madness!

They even reinforced their network, causing the cyber security companies of the Ninth Base City to be in high demand lately.

It's worth mentioning that during this period, he received another dividend from the Jinggang merchants and the filial respects of the Wang City business community and elders, totaling nearly 130,000 two of demon silver.

Lin Rui did not favor the officialdom ethos of the Heavenly Pole Star; he had only done things within his official responsibility, so how could he rightly accept money from the locals?

Nevertheless, these elders were incredibly enthusiastic, saying that since he took over as the defense officer, he had not only dredged the rivers but also cleared the many demons and monsters within the city, making both the city and the surrounding rivers clean.

What the situation was like before Lin Rui's arrival, and the transformation after, was something all residents had witnessed.

The Prefectural Governor, the Prefectural Commander, and the Prefectural Chief were all ineffective, unable to secure the situation in Wang City. It was Lin Rui who arrived and turned the tide, restoring peace to the people of Wang City.

They had some source of news indicating that Lin Rui was about to be transferred to the capital city. The local elders were very reluctant to see him go but also happy for the Defense Officer. They were in the process of making a Civilian Umbrella to give to Lin Rui as a farewell gift.

Lin Rui was overwhelmed with happiness because of their praise and reluctantly accepted the filial silver they offered.

The elders' enthusiasm made it impossible for him to decline.

Not long after this, Fei Yunlai mentioned that his heteromorphic body had almost fully recovered and he was also preparing to leave Wang City Prefecture.

At this time, Fei Yunlai was spirited and glowing with health, a far cry from his despondency a month ago.

Not only had his injuries healed to about seventy percent, but his heteromorphic body's overall strength had greatly improved.

After following Lin Rui on a few missions, Fei Yunlai not only managed to gather the interest for this month's loan but also had Lin Rui help him equip his heteromorphic body's war dragon with a full-coverage subdermal nano armor.

This not only enhanced the war dragon's defensive capabilities but also increased its strength and speed somewhat.

Fei Yunlai was brimming with confidence, believing that his heteromorphic body taking on mercenary tasks within the Heavenly Pole Star would be easy and would put his life back on track.

This month had been tough for him. Going around with Lin Rui and slaughtering drug traffickers and gang members, he feared that one day he might expose his identity and end up on the Earth Federation's wanted list.

What he could not bear was that every time he chose a commission, Lin Rui would always make a small profit. Now this guy must have at least 3.8 billion federal coins of illicit money in his hands.

But if he chose profit-sharing, he would inevitably end up at a loss.

Fei Yunlai surmised that his own body might be facing unlucky times and that he could only place his hopes on his heteromorphic body.

Seeing Fei Yunlai's triumphant demeanor, Lin Rui secretly felt regretful, thinking that the penniless bull was indeed about to fly away—
