Chapter 348: Armor Implantation (Please Subscribe)_2
This talent was also extraordinary, likely above the Emperor level.
It should be noted that in the past few months, Ji Xueying had been injected with twenty or more doses of bloodline enhancement drugs, all of which were custom-made type 5, yet there had been no movement at all.
Afterward, Lin Rui upgraded Ji Xueying's "War God" type 5 and "Heavenly Armor" type 5 to type 7.
It wasn't that he was short on money; the problem was that they could only use this model. For such items, surpassing two levels made control extremely difficult.
However, this type 7 was unlike the ordinary type 7—it was a 7SSS+ prestigious VIP model, maximizing all auxiliary combat abilities.
Lin Rui also made the "Second Golden Core" circuit connections for Ji Xueying, what is referred to as the "Artificial External Elixir," granting the body a second source of True Qi.
After the Dragon Shedding Realm, one could externally attach the Second Golden Core.
The Second Golden Core was generally placed externally at the position of the back heart; if made of superior materials, the True Qi output could exceed 10 times that of the inherent Golden Core at its limit. Some crazy folks even embedded a small nuclear battery inside it.
—Lin Rui was indeed crazy.
However, such implants were extremely expensive, requiring special customization according to one's genes and current condition, and even with money, it might not be available for purchase.
Thanks to his own X project, Lin Rui got in touch with the East Asia Science Academy, which finally enabled Ji Xueying to acquire this item.
Next was Lin Xi's "Eternal Heart Dragon."
This battle dragon already had a super-imperial foundation and was once just one step away from ascending to the eighth realm, offering a vast space for implants.
However, Lin Rui's knowledge of the battle dragon was limited, as it was his first time performing surgery on a battle dragon, and he was very cautious.
He only implanted Lin Xi's three prepared Emperor level implants into the Eternal Heart Dragon, along with the type 7 "Heavenly Armor" subdermal nano-armor and "War God" type 7 nano auxiliary devices, all custom-made SSS+ and specifically for the battle dragon.
The battle dragon could also be fitted with a second power source, but unlike the human-used Second Golden Core, it was a small nuclear fusion reactor, implanted into the left chest of the Eternal Heart Dragon.
This set of implant surgeries could ensure that the Eternal Heart Dragon had combat strength above the six realms and super imperial level, approaching Emperor level—mainly because Lin Xi's own Martial Cultivation skills were not sufficient, and he had not yet fully integrated with the dragon, unable to fully unleash all of its capabilities.
It was unfortunate that Luojing was too close to Divine Scenery Mountain; even building a lead room might not be safe.
Otherwise, Lin Rui could have performed a "Purification" on the Eternal Heart Dragon, allowing Lin Xi to further refine and master this battle dragon.
He had already instructed Fei Yunlai to build a large lead room at the Wang City base; he planned to, after some time, transport the dragon to Wang City using a guard spaceship and perform the Purification on the battle dragon at the Wang City base.
Lin Rui then operated on himself, upgrading all implanted subdermal nano-armor and nano auxiliary devices to type 7SSS+.
He also attached a Second Golden Core which was usually disconnected, hidden inside the "War God" and "Heavenly Armor" transforming bracelet.
During combat, as "War God" and "Heavenly Armor" activated, this Second Golden Core would also immediately connect to his back heart position.
After completing the surgery, Lin Rui tried out some sword techniques in the back garden and felt extremely satisfied.
Now he was "Left Azure Dragon, Right White Tiger," with both his defensive power and endurance enhanced to the limit.
At the fifth realm, he estimated that no one could surpass him in terms of defense and stamina, not even those robust Martial Cultivators.
Those guys might be strong, but did they have Abyssal Dragon Armor? Impossible.
Even at the sixth realm, those who could surpass him in these aspects were rare.
Having completed these surgeries, Lin Rui was quite exhausted mentally.
After all, his spirit had been highly tense all night long, no small matter indeed.
He thought about it and decided to take half a day off under the pretext of 'going out for official duties' to fully recuperate his energy. After all, with Senior Brother Li Li watching over the office, nothing could go wrong.
As for the homework from his master, he could ask for leave and postpone it to the evening.
However, when Lin Rui slept until noon, he received a message from Deputy Commander Xing Hai sent via 'Thousand-Mile Flying Letters.'
Xing Hai and his subordinates had discovered a new clue while inspecting the Imperial Guards directly.
Near Li Family Manor, about three hundred miles outside the city, there was likely a smuggling hideout harboring formidable forces. Xing Hai did not dare to act independently and asked Lin Rui to take charge.
"Li Family Manor outside the city? Interesting."
Lin Rui squinted his eyes as he read and immediately sent a reply back.
He authorized Deputy Commander Xing Hai to mobilize seven agents from within the bureau, assigning them to search Li Family Manor and instructed him to be extremely cautious, ensuring full preparedness before acting. If necessary, he could request assistance from 'Imperial Guards' and 'Imperial Guard.'
These seven agents were precisely the so-called 'Emperor's Faction' placed within the bureau by the Emperor, belonging to the same faction as Xing Hai.
If the clue proved true, then Xing Hai would achieve great merit, and Lin Rui would also share in the glory.
But if it failed, no one could say that his support as the commander was insufficient.
Lin Rui did not need merits now; he only needed safe development.
Lin Rui knew something was off about Li Family Manor at first glance and couldn't be bothered to deal with it.
As the great man once said — first strike the weak, then the strong, you fight yours, I fight mine. It is a top strategy to deal with the Jin family and Prince Han first at this time.
Lin Rui was waiting for the scandal involving Prince Han to erupt, the moment when he would lose his protective umbrella, and also waiting for the Luo family estate case to conclude.
Once the bureau could allocate sufficient forces, he would act immediately.
If he took no action, so be it, but once he did, it would be a thunderous move! He would not give the opponent a chance to catch their breath.
After sending the message, Lin Rui pondered briefly and then prepared to go to several shops in the city that specialized in Magic Artifacts to buy a 'Thousand-Mile Flying Letters.'
Although Lin Rui could use the quantum communication system to communicate instantly with friends and relatives located tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles away,
within Luo Capital City, he could also use Magic Artifacts and official seals to contact remotely.
But once he left the city, Lin Rui would find it difficult to contact his master Luo Wangshu, and the several disciples and generals under Luo Wangshu's command.
Not to mention, Lin Rui was constantly thinking about Meng Weiyun, who had already left the capital to return home, far tens of thousands of miles away.
Thus, he needed to adapt to local customs and acquire a 'Thousand-Mile Flying Letters.'
However, just as he was about to leave, Lin Rui paused, his expression changing as he sent a message to his sister.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Xixi, things have been a bit unusual these days. From now on, you must ride the War Dragon and follow me, always ready for battle."
While practicing stake exercises in the yard, Lin Xi felt a shiver in her spirit as she read the message.
She had long realized that this 'brother' truly loved her and was reluctant to let her face danger needlessly.
Now that Lin Rui actually needed to utilize her strength showed that the situation he was facing must be extremely perilous.
