Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

At the same time, Lin Rui was lying in the Divine Sleep Chamber, flipping through the budget sheet that Si Malin had sent over.

Lin Rui's face was a bit dark.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Professor, how come it adds up to over 30 million? Why would Lin Xi's alternate body cost so much?"

Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): "Don't forget that your alternate body also cost over 5 million, and that doesn't include the part that the government reimbursed."

Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): "Her situation is a little more complicated. You'll understand the specifics when you take my master's course. Don't worry, for little Xi's sake, I won't scam you. Of course, if you really can't come up with the money then forget it, but if you decide to go through with it, it's best to act quickly so you won't have regrets later."

In the lab, Si Malin looked disdainful. To create an alternate body for 'Despair Heavenly Girl,' could the expenses be any less?

Just the Dragon Origin Quality alone was very difficult to deal with.

The quote of over 30 million was already the result of repeated reductions. Si Malin planned to stuff all electricity and nutrient fluid costs into several other research projects of his. As for the usage fees of various top-tier instruments, none were included in the calculation.

After seeing the message, Lin Rui 'tsked' and grew even more suspicious that Si Malin was hiding something from him about Lin Xi.

He pondered for a moment, then sent a message to Lin Xi.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Start getting ready now. Learn some knowledge about Tianji Star. In at most a month, I will create an alternate body for you."

To make 30 million within a month, Lin Rui felt a bit of pressure.

But he always saw Lin Xi as his responsibility.

The existence of his younger sister was like an anchor, allowing his ship to stay steady on the sea's surface, preventing it from being blown off course by the raging waves between heaven and earth.

Lin Rui hoped that the demons of Wang City would be as supportive as those in 'Silver Moon County'.

However, when he thought about how the more demons a place had, the harder the lives of the common people at the bottom, Lin Rui again felt that this thought was rather malicious.

After deliberating for a long time, he could only think of one somewhat feasible method, which was to trouble the gentry of Wang City.

Summer's End Shallow Thought (Lin Xi): "A month? Brother, can we really come up with that much money? I asked Professor Sima before. He said that configuring my alternate body might cost a lot of money. He couldn't reveal the exact amount, just said it might go into tens of millions."

Summer's End Shallow Thought (Lin Xi): "I've asked Sen-ge too. You guys did make a lot of money last time, but that was an exception. Sen-ge said you expended a lot of effort, and you've only descended for a month. Now that you've finally gotten a foothold, don't ruin the good situation because of my issue."

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "No matter what, you must study some geography and history of Tianji Star this month. You can learn the dialects around Wang City for the language, and it's best if you can recognize some characters, but it's fine if you can't."

Lin Rui thought it wouldn't be too bad for his sister to be illiterate like himself.

After replying to the message, he turned his head to Wang Xiaofang who was beside him and said, "Sister Wang, help me descend into an alternate body now!"

Wang Xiaofang nodded: "Alternate body quantum chip connected. Beginning the descent!"

Lin Rui's consciousness blurred for a moment, and then he found that his perspective had changed; he had already descended into his alternate body on Tianji Star.

He was riding a Steel Scale Horse, ambling along on an official road.

Up ahead was Ji Xueying, who, sensing something, turned her head to look back: "My lord!"

Yet, Lin Rui looked around in astonishment: "Did something happen on the road?"

The moment he descended, he received a red alert from the intelligent life chip, indicating that his alternate body had been involved in a battle not long ago.

Lin Rui reviewed the video of his journey and discovered that they had been ambushed by a group of demons and demon cultivators while traveling at night the day before.

There were seven of the second realm, two of the third realm, and they were likely the fish that slipped through Zhu Lingshi's net, or perhaps mutations induced by the Ziyao Yuan Crystal radiation.

The intelligent life chip did not sense a threat to life, so it chose to handle it autonomously and did not inform his main body.

"They were just a group of lowly demons; it's nothing," Ji Xueying said with an indifferent expression. "I noticed my lord seems to especially despise demons and demon cultivators, so I cut off their limbs and left it for you to finish them personally."

Lin Rui's face darkened as he watched the video to the end.

It was indeed as Ji Xueying had said; Blood Blade Ji had chopped off the limbs of these demons and lined them up beside the official road for 'Lin Rui' to execute personally.

Lin Rui considered his own obsession with harvesting demon lives; had even Ji Xueying clearly perceived it?

Unfortunately, the killings carried out by the intelligent life chip did not yield any Soul Power points.

Lin Rui shook his head: "There's no need for this in the future. In such situations, prioritize our safety and clear out the enemies quickly."

Having Blood Blade Ji for protection offered him an undeniable sense of security.

Lin Rui's intelligent life chip could also fight, possessing a certain level of combat ability, and could autonomously learn Lin Rui's battle habits.

However, even if he were to fine-tune the combat AI of the life chip to perfection in the future, its combat power could never match that of his main body; being at 2/3 the strength would be extremely fortunate.

The Earth Federation was capable of producing better life chips, but if a life chip became too smart, it could lead to unpredictable accidents.

Before coming to Tianji Star, the Federation had experienced a robot rebellion that affected several colonies.

Although the rebellion was quickly suppressed, the impact was profound. Since then, the Federation has maintained strict limitations and requirements for all types of AI.
