Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 381: Promotion (Please Subscribe)



Lin Rui had already come out of the imperial palace and restored quantum communication. No sooner had he activated the network than two pop-up windows appeared in his field of vision. They were two emails from the Security Bureau headquarters, identified by the intelligent assistant system as the highest level of communication. After reading them, Lin Rui was utterly astonished and simultaneously filled with joy. He had been promoted and had become a general in the Federal Security Bureau. When Lin Rui opened his personal information panel again, he found that his resume had also been altered. Lin Rui glanced through it and found that the credentials were very impressive and very reasonable, with everything essentially verifiable. They were not without fault, indeed containing some imperfections in the details. But this was normal; too perfect a fabrication would have aroused suspicion. Moreover, these details were actually traps that could function as alarms, ensuring that if anyone investigated based on these details, they would be detected in time. Meanwhile, Lin Rui's Third Special Action Division was reorganized into the 'National Security Special Action Center,' becoming a fourth-tier administrative unit within the Security Bureau. Lin Rui was completely baffled by this, and after a call to Zhou Yunfei, he learned that it was the first marshal's intention. Even his personal information was crafted by the hand of the first marshal. Besides, the first marshal had also assigned him several tasks. This greatly relieved Lin Rui's mind; the joy of promotion was secondary. What mattered most was that the first marshal did not seem to be aligned with the Longevity Society. That was enough. What Lin Rui feared most was facing off against the Longevity Society, only to find that his supreme boss was the boss of the Longevity Society. At the same time, the first marshal had given him access to partial authority. Lin Rui had previously held SSS-level clearance with an X-level security classification as a major general in the Security Bureau. Now, he held SSS+ level clearance with an X-level security classification as a general in the Security Bureau. In addition, the first marshal had opened up to him all intelligence related to the Longevity Society and the Divine Illumination Society. This allowed him to see a lot of interesting things. For example, the Earth Federation's Security Bureau was in control of several branches of the Longevity Society, as well as the approximate locations of their twenty-five bases. They also had accurate intelligence on 30,421 extraterrestrial practitioners and were monitoring about 90,000 people from the Tianji Star, suspecting their association with the Longevity and Divine Illumination Societies as extraterrestrials cultivated by them. If Lin Rui were to investigate these leads, he could probably be accurate in each case. However, there was no need. Lin Rui had already drawn enough attention recently. The corruption case of the Zhenyu Army and the Luo family estate base case that erupted since his appointment were among the biggest cases since the creation of the Espionage Affairs Bureau. These cases hadn't been thoroughly investigated yet, and the Espionage Affairs Bureau was expected to be busy for the next few months. Even if more cases were solved, it would not bring Lin Rui any benefits but would instead invite unnecessary risks and potentially lethal threats. Lin Rui was not a real Tianji Star person after all, who would fight the Heavenly Demons to the death. It's known that even the natives of Tianji Star were now flirting with the Heavenly Demons, united in spirit, including the Emperor of the Great Song. Why should he, a Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain, risk his life for these Tianji Star people just for a small salary from the Great Song court? Of course, the tasks assigned by the first marshal could not be neglected. The divine entities would use him as a blade to cleanse the internal Heavenly Demons and resist the infiltration of the Heavenly Demons into the Great Song. It was egregious that the Longevity Society attempted to target the Zhenyu Army, intending to replace its soldiers with their bioweapons. This act violated a major taboo and completely enraged the divine entities. However, Lin Rui no longer needed to charge into battle or personally expose himself to danger. He could use administrative orders within the Espionage Affairs Bureau to shift the focus of its investigations, even spurring the entire Imperial City Division to strike against the Longevity Society. Additionally, not long ago the Forensic Division of the Espionage Affairs Bureau had delivered to him several quantum supercomputers salvaged from the Luo family estate. These supercomputers should have self-destructed, but for some reason, when the Espionage Affairs Bureau unearthed them from the rubble, they were still operational. However, their data had been wiped clean, and some of the core chips destroyed, limiting their functionality. Lin Rui suspected that it might have been Luo Wangshu's arrival that day, along with the staggering mental shock that shook the entire scene, which caused the violent magnetic storm that halted the supercomputers' self-destruct programs. Next, he would have Lin Xi and Heart of Guang Ming No.9 repair and decrypt these quantum supercomputers, to see if they could extract any experimental data from them. Lin Rui proceeded toward the direction of the Espionage Division, all the while replying to messages from Lin Xi, Wang Sen, and others. The fact that he had acquired the Divine Merit Order and the Divine Dragon Slayer Saber within a day had stunned his close friends, sending their emotions into overdrive and leaving them unable to calm down for a while. Even Ji Xueying, who had been following closely beside Lin Rui as his guard, had a somewhat dazed look in her eyes as she left the palace. Lin Rui understood their feelings, as he himself was hardly any better. Lin Rui generally understood the significance of the two items in his hands. He had, quite accidentally, thrown himself into the ranks of the future national leaders of the Great Song. Fei Yunlai also sent him a message. Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): BOSS, I've already contacted Wang Tianwu, but that guy is still full of vigor. He's a wild horse, needs to be worn down and left to cool off, can't be rushed. Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): He has no other choice and will eventually see reality for what it is. I've done similar work in the company before; I have experience in this area. When Lin Rui saw this message from Fei Yunlai, he couldn't help but chuckle. In a sense, Fei Yunlai did have a lot of experience in this regard. Plus, this old Fei is now speaking to him with much more respect, which is deserving of praise. Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): There's no need to rush with Wang Tianwu. Just keep an eye on him, Fei. Also, your imperial wanted order has been canceled, but you still need to be careful in Tianji Star. You are still among the top targets on the Heavenly Demon list issued by the Espionage Division. Lin Rui had no idea that after sending this message, Fei Yunlai from the Ninth Base City was so overjoyed that he ran to the secret base in the middle of the night and practiced his saber art all night long. By this time, Lin Rui had returned to the Espionage Division and started the overtime mode of bureaucracy. Lin Rui decided that for the foreseeable future, he would try to stay in the government office as much as possible. He realized that he had become the target of all eyes, almost like a target for public criticism. The Divine Merit Order and the Divine Dragon Slayer Saber given to him by the East Abyss could vastly expand his authority and influence, and even allow him to establish his own faction within the Song Imperial City Administration and the imperial court. However, these two items had also placed him on the hot seat, where even a slight misstep could lead to total loss. Therefore, for the time being, he intended to stabilize the situation with calmness, accumulate strength as quickly as possible, lay a solid foundation, and turn the divine favor from the East Abyss into his true power. Moreover, with the entire Espionage Division busy to the point of exhaustion and even the gods paying attention, Lin Rui, the commander of the Espionage Division, had to show a diligent attitude to his work. Hiding in the Espionage Division and working from the office was the best way to lay low. It would not only appease his superiors but also allow him to stay at the center of power while ensuring his safety. However, Lin Rui's main consciousness didn't need to stay there all the time. Lin Rui's personal AI assistant system could be maximally enhanced for a short period to help him handle some complex official duties, and with the help of his senior Li Li, nothing should go awry. Lin Rui's consciousness then returned to his body in the Ninth Base City. He had three things to focus on next. First was the trade with East Asia; Lin Rui had already negotiated a good price, and what remained was to remotely direct the operation, having Wang Sen and Lin Xi assist with the subsequent steps. Second was dealing with the twelve Martial Cultivators recruited by Xue Lingxue and Gong Hengdao. Their cultivation ranged from 6SS at the highest to 6S at the lowest, all experienced and strong retired military personnel, suffering from the torments of War Armor Syndrome. They were now arriving one after the other, and Lin Rui had to make time to meet them and provide each with a treatment plan. Lin Rui valued them greatly; using these retired special forces as the core, along with sufficient personnel and combat machinery, he could establish six 6S-level tactical teams. In the Ninth Base City, that was already a considerable force. Third was the reorganization of the 'National Security Special Action Center'. Although Xue Lingxue, his assistant, would handle most of the affairs, Lin Rui, as the director of the center, couldn't afford to be absent entirely and neglect everything. Besides, the First Marshal had changed his personal information to facilitate his work. This was also a clear indication that the First Marshal wished him to engage more deeply with the internal affairs of the Security Bureau. Eight days later, Lin Rui finally completed the first transaction with East Asia. As the Heavenly Demon incident continued to erupt, the situation inside and outside the Luo Capital became even tenser. Not only did the entire Imperial City Administration strike with full force in all directions, conducting sweeping crackdowns and harsh suppression in the capital and the regions, but the government offices and military forces throughout the Great Song also started to be on high alert, strictly scrutinizing all goods and travelers. Thus, the final amount of this transaction was particularly substantial, and Lin Rui managed to obtain unexpected bargaining chips for his master.
