Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

As soon as the banquet ended, Lin Rui sent the intelligence that Zhou Yunfei had divulged into the combat group chat.

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): They've indeed invested heavily this time. There's a video leaked on the dark web claiming to be the handiwork of one of Jin San's men risking his life to film it. I can't confirm the authenticity of those black cards in the bank, but the divine gold bars are the real deal—over 30,000 taels, worth more than 30 billion Federation dollars.

Lin Guangming: Guess what I found in this escape route? I just sent a few mechanized bugs to check it out, and this escape route also directly leads to the outer layer of Satellite 9. There's also a small dock there, with a guard starship equipped with a quantum leap device docked.

—This is Lin Guangming of Heart of Light 9. She named herself Lin Guangming after being added to the combat group by Lin Rui.

Lin Guangming: I also scrutinized the pile of second-hand parts in the video. There's enough to assemble at least twenty Red Spider Model 6s and four Red Spider Model 7s. They should also be able to put together some higher-grade mechas and exoskeleton armors, and there's even a Dragon Slayer Model 7, but I couldn't see clearly as it was blocked. The parts for the fifth model are piled up like a small mountain, easily enough for a hundred units.

Lin Rui's spirits lifted at this news.

The cost of a guard frigate is just over seventy to eighty million dollars, and with all kinds of weapons, it's a bit over two hundred million. However, a guard starship equipped with a quantum leap device starts at 3.5 billion dollars.

What was crucial was that quantum leap devices were hard to acquire; they were priceless on the dark web.

Lin Guangming already owned one guard starship. If he could get his hands on this one as well, he could organize a smuggling fleet operating to and from Tianji Star.

The Red Spider Model 7s were even more expensive. Lin Rui had previously spent 5 billion Federation dollars in black money to purchase just two.

Xue Lingxue: I'm afraid there's more. Based on what I know about Jin San, this guard starship may also be storing a vast fortune, possibly even his real assets.

Xue Lingxue: If that's the case, then this operation might be feasible. We have complete intelligence, and with Lin Guangming's addition, our strength far exceeds their expectations. If the plan goes smoothly, we could even consider transferring the weapons and parts from the warehouse to the guard starship through the escape route to make our getaway.

Fei Yunlai the Invincible Bull: I think it's doable. Let's make a plan, BOSS!

Fei Yunlai, changing his previous attitude, was very enthusiastic.

Based on his employment agreement with Lin Rui, if the profits from a mission exceeded 5 billion, and Fei Yunlai played a major role, then he could take a 1% cut of the earnings.

Fei Yunlai had gambled away the 30 million he had struggled to gather in just a few days. He had been living tightly and indeed needed the money.

Moreover, the numbers for this operation were indeed substantial.

Gong Hengdao: I'll follow the BOSS.

Wang Sen the Eccentric Youth: Me too.

Ji Xueying of the Blood Blade Sky Saber: Same here!

Lin Rui also wanted to tackle a big heist. He calculated the potential earnings and figured that they could reap between 300,000 to 400,000 Soul Power points in one go. Afterward, with some demon-slaying on Tianji Star, he might be able to exchange them for the Emperor Flame War Dragon. With some luck, he might even manage it in one shot.

Moreover, securing this huge sum would greatly enhance his overall strength and benefit his subordinates.

Lin Rui then calculated the forces he could currently mobilize. Besides the people in the combat group, he also had 32 Red Spider Model 6 defensive robots, 12 Hawk Falcon Model 6 combat robots, and 6 Red Spider Model 7 defensive robots at his disposal.

This was definitely not enough to overpower the more than 1,000 people near the warehouse, but they could outsmart them.

Xue Lingxue: The problem now is the security bureau personnel lurking nearby. With the style of the Nursery Rhyme Killer, they won't make a move unless absolutely necessary.

Lin Guangming: I've never understood why the security bureau would expend so many resources protecting a gang.

Fei Yunlai: That's a silly question. Federal law protects the wealthy, and not only are gangs wealthy and major taxpayers, but they also provide many votes and political donations to congress members.

Lin Rui: Enough. The security bureau personnel are not a big issue. I've learned that the Nursery Rhyme Killer has invented a new type of biological anesthetic with a longer incubation period and more stealth. It won't be hard to deal with them.

This occurred as Lin Rui was recently studying biology and had a sudden burst of inspiration, which, combined with the advanced alchemy and herbs of Tianji Star he was proficient in, created a chain reaction.

He came up with the initial formula himself, and then the prediction with Soul Power points rapidly perfected it.

Lin Rui using Soul Power points for predictions was extraordinary. He felt as if all the brain cells in his head were activated, and at that moment, he was like a humanoid supercomputer.

Lin Rui: Xue Ying, I'll send you the data and characteristics of this drug. Look at how the killer commits crimes. The vicious Nursery Rhyme Killer is itching to act and may make his move within a day or two. We must deduce his plan and timing based on the current intelligence.

After reviewing the information sent by Lin Rui, Xue Lingxue shook her head slightly, wondering how Lin Rui, who was quite normal as a child, had developed such a perverse taste as he grew up.

However, the Nursery Rhyme Killer case indeed needed to be resolved quickly. Lin Rui's alter ego had already reached the vicinity of Loki. The reason he had not yet entered the city was to wait for Wang Sen to awaken his last power.

Going forward, Lin Rui would focus on Loki, and for an extended period afterward, he would need to devote his time and energy to Tianji Star.

She flipped through the drug specifications and materials sent by Lin Rui, her eyes once again revealing a hint of unusual luster.

The toxin developed by Lin Rui was a mixed poison, harmless at first, but once it mixed with a large amount of glutamyl transpeptidase in a biological body, it turned into a violently effective anesthetic.

Therefore, it could lurk in the human body for a long time without any abnormalities until it fully reacted with glutamyl transpeptidase and began to produce paralytic effects. At that time, the body would become weak and limp, consciousness blurred and fainted, and even True Qi would collapse.

If intensive exercise were involved, it would accelerate these symptoms.

Xue Lingxue couldn't understand how Lin Rui's brain was wired to come up with such a vicious drug.

The current problem was how to get this drug into an enemy's body.

As people's understanding of the Nursery Rhyme Killer increased, so did their precautions against toxins.

Those enemies would surely keep their internal circulation systems activated during operations to isolate themselves from the external air.

After carefully pondering for a while, Xue Lingxue felt that the problem wasn't big. To her knowledge, any exoskeleton armor below type 6 could only sustain its internal circulation system for 8 hours.

After 8 hours, the oxygen pack would need to be replaced. As for exoskeleton armors of type 6 and above, they possess the ability to synthesize oxygen from the ether, so there's no need to consider that.

So they just needed to tamper with the oxygen packs in advance.

In the sterile life support pod of Mingde University Affiliated Hospital, Jin Tianchen slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced around and realized he was inside an ICU ward. After checking the time on the smart terminal, he found that it had been the 7th day since the competition.

The stab that Lin Rui inserted into his body was incredibly malicious, shredding his spine and four prosthetic parts. Thus, Jin Tianchen realized he might have to lay down for a long time before he lost consciousness.

What he was most concerned about now was the condition of his own body. He wanted to know if his talent would be affected.

Just then, the smart alloy door outside opened, and his aide Geng Tai walked in.

His expression was one of excited surprise, "President Jin, you're awake? I've already notified your parents, and they will be here soon."

Geng Tai immediately noticed Jin Tianchen's expression, "President Jin, your body is alright. The doctors said there will be no lingering effects, but the four prosthetic parts couldn't be saved. You'll need some rest before getting them reimplanted. As you know, the medical standards at Mingde University Affiliated Hospital are top-notch."

Jin Tianchen's eyes darkened further, "I received a notification of withdrawal from school in my information bank, along with a summon from the police and a subpoena from the court. What's going on?"

"President Jin, the Second City University has a new principal, and three days ago, they decided to expel you from school. Our Ninth Base City's chief prosecutor, pressured by public opinion, has reopened the investigation of that case from a year ago."

Geng Tai answered carefully, fearful of enraging the other party, "The legal department of the group and Heavenly Shield Law Firm said the issue isn't big, they can handle it for you. However, please stay low-key during this time, try not to appear in public. The chairman also said that for the time being, it might be best if you focus your business efforts on the alien species of Tianji Star, which just so happens to need you in Luojing."

Jin Tianchen clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulging visibly.

His chest heaved violently, struggling to calm down.

Jin Tianchen knew his career was ruined. Not only was his public image destroyed but his pride as a prosthetic martial artist and strongman was also shattered by Lin Rui. The 43 billion Federal currency of operational funds had also been put into Fang Ranran's betting pool, swallowed up completely.

From now on, he would have to obey his uncle's orders, being used as a tool and weapon.

Jin Tianchen's eyes were filled with rage, bloodshot with anger, "Help me find a killer on the dark web, I want the top level. Those who have received the Dark Honor Medals or even a 'King', no matter the cost, I want Lin Rui dead!"

Although he had no cash in hand now, he could still take out loans, as well as the funds provided to him by his family every month.

Geng Tai was not surprised by these words; he knew Jin Tianchen would definitely vent his anger on Lin Rui.

Plus, that Lin Rui was indeed not a good person, as his moves in the ring were extremely ruthless. It was his stab that completely cut off Jin Tianchen's path as a martial arts star.

"Alright, President Jin. However, this will anger Fang Ranran."

At these words, Jin Tianchen sneered coldly. He was already in this state; what more did he have to fear from angering Fang Ranran?

What could Fang Ranran do to him, take his life?

Besides, Fang Ranran was too preoccupied to bother with him now. If the information that Geng Tai and the others had gathered was accurate, then his uncle was about to take the Linghu family clan into his own hands.
