He heard the explosions below and looked down through the car window in utter surprise.
“Who’s so damn bold to cause such chaos at the entrance of Mingde University?
Don’t they know that Mingde University has two heavy-armored militia units?”
Fei Yunlai glanced down briefly before withdrawing his gaze, shaking his head as he continued to fly toward the location of the used car dealership he was navigating to.
Looking at the situation at the entrance to the subway station, it seemed to be under control.
Two teams of well-equipped 5A grade elite action groups, along with two ‘Imperial Guard’ Type-6 defense robots, had already stormed into the interior of the subway station.
Unless the enemies inside were of the Major General rank, there was only suppression waiting for them.
...
However, Fei Yunlai didn’t sense the aura of the ‘dragon.’
At that moment, the sound of a woman crying ‘yi yi’ could be heard from inside his car.
“Master, are you really going to sell me?”
Upon hearing this, Fei Yunlai grimaced: “I’m not selling you!
You’re my AI housekeeper; why would I sell you?
No one would want you!
Go to novgo.co
I’m going to sell our mansion, all the stocks, all the assets.
I need to collect a sum of money as soon as possible.
Right!
I also need to sell the cars in my garage at the used car dealership; there’s no other way, Diamond Bracelet.
My body at Tianji Star is in a really bad situation.
I’ve just managed to find a reliable mechanical augmentation doctor down there, and I need to implant several more powerful augments to strengthen my combat power as much as possible.”
Fei Yunlai sighed, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a server to house you for a while, a maximum of one to three years.
I’ll see to it that you have a new home.”
Diamond Bracelet: “But Master, even selling everything won’t fetch much money, and you haven’t even finished paying off your mortgage.
I’ve calculated it, and I estimate it’ll only fetch a little over six billion.”
Fei Yunlai’s face darkened even more: “Shut up!
novgo.co
Just hurry up and liquidate it all.
Also, help me inquire with various banks; I need to raise some funds.”
Diamond Bracelet: “Understood, Master.@@@@
The problem is, what about your implanted combat dragon?
Without that mansion, without the life support unit in the basement’s cold storage, it will be difficult for your implanted combat dragon to maintain its peak combat strength.”
Fei Yunlai rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to contact his junior sister, Yu Feicui.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Junior sister, does your school have any spare combat dragon life support units?
Heart of Jade (Yu Feicui): We do, but what do you need it for?
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): I want to send my implanted combat dragon to be preserved at the school for about three to five months.
Heart of Jade (Yu Feicui): !!!
Yu Feicui found the idea inconceivable.
While the school did have spare combat dragon life support units, they were nowhere near as good as the setup at Fei’s elder brother’s home.
What in the world had happened to Elder Brother Fei?
Yu Feicui had heard some rumors; lately, Elder Brother Fei’s situation at Tianji Star seemed to be not so promising.
Could it be true?
Heart of Jade (Yu Feicui): I can talk to Fang Ranran about it.
However, it can’t be for free.
After all, the electricity bill for the combat dragon life support unit is over a million a month unless you’re willing to owe her a favor.
Fei Yunlai’s face turned gloomy at the thought, not wanting to owe that girl any favors.
Fang Ranran’s father was a ruthless man, and she was likely cut from the same cloth.
If things continued this way, both of them were indeed going to die here.
Fortunately, at this moment, a gate on the ground eighty meters ahead suddenly burst open, and out jumped a person carrying a single-soldier missile launcher resembling a pack of cigarettes with six tubes.
Death’s Announcement: Get moving!
Speed up.
Horn’s spirits were lifted; that was their sniper—’Death’s Announcement’ Jiang Dong!
In an instant, Jiang Dong launched all six tactical missiles from the launcher and detonated them all 200 meters away.
Lin Rui, seeing what was happening from a distance, was slightly startled.
He hid himself under the rail, using the concrete wall in front of him and the energy shield of his own exoskeleton armor to resist the blast’s impact and shrapnel.
Luckily, those missiles were only loaded with high-explosive incendiary ammunition, but the bad news was that these bombs were embedded with the runic technology of the Tianji Star.
Although Lin Rui endured the explosion, the shoulder and leg parts of his exoskeleton armor were nearly wrecked by the flying shrapnel.
In the aftermath of the blast wave, Lin Rui immediately took to the air and positioned himself over the gate, which was still wide open.
Looking down at the channel that appeared like a bottomless abyss, approximately three meters in diameter, he frowned deeply.
Lin Rui knew that this channel was supposed to lead to the so-called ‘Lower District.’
That was originally the first base of Mingde University.
The forebears of the East Asia Republic didn’t have the resources or conditions to build a massive base city like the ‘Upper District’ when they first settled on Tianji Star’s ninth satellite.
Initially, they carved out thousands of small caverns within areas of the ninth satellite’s interior.
It wasn’t until five hundred years ago that the ‘Upper District’ of Mingde University’s base city was completed, and all the population was relocated there.
However, over the past few centuries, as the population boomed and a large influx of external migrants arrived, the Lower District was reactivated 300 years ago, with its population ever-increasing and its extent continuously expanding.
However, there was no artificial sun down there, the pipes were in utter chaos, and the life support system was already overwhelmed, creating a harsh environment.
That place was the true slums, teeming with various gang forces and hundreds of times more chaotic than the Upper District.
If Lin Rui had failed the xenotypy assessment before, the government would have arranged for him to live and work in the Lower District until the day he had enough social status or money.
“Lin Rui, have you lost your mind!”
At this time, Xue Lingxue flew to his side and slapped him on the shoulder, her voice fiercely saying, “Do you know who they are?
They’re the top assassin team of Mingde University’s base city.
Lin Rui, do you have a death wish?
Or is there something wrong with your mind?
I think you really need a mental assessment!”
Xue Lingxue wished she could grab Lin Rui’s ear.
Although her father initially engaged with the Lin family on a mission from the Security Bureau and with a purpose, Xue Lingxue had been unaware at the time.
In the first two years of her contact with Lin Rui, she genuinely treated him as a younger brother.
She had been terrified when she saw Lin Rui chasing after the enemy alone, her heart nearly stopping.
This guy was just too crazy, taking too many risks.
Yet the combat power he displayed during the fight also left her in awe.
At this time, Wang Cheng also flew over.
He was rather helpless and annoyed by Lin Rui’s reckless actions.
However, seeing Xue Lingxue’s rage, he frowned and said, “Inspector Xue!
Mr.
Lin is an important figure in our Sky Blue Corporation.
Please maintain your decorum.”
Xue Lingxue gave him a cold look and then let out a sarcastic laugh, “Your Mr.
Lin has violated federal regulations and is suspected of endangering public safety, illegal use of firearms, intentional harm to others, and severe damage to public property.
I am now going to take him to the police station for questioning!”
Lin Rui couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose.
He couldn’t tell Xue Lingxue that ‘Dead Eye’ Horn was the one who had killed the other Lin Rui in the past.
It was at this moment that he received a message from Professor Han.
Beacon of War (Han Kedao): Lin Rui, would you be interested in joining the Federal Security Bureau?
If you are willing, you could start directly from the military rank of a brigadier general in the Security Bureau without training.
I can fully support you in gaining real power within the bureau, at least over a 3S-grade special action department, commanding 3 to 5 5A-level action groups.
After reading the message, Lin Rui was momentarily taken aback, wondering why Professor Han would ask him such a question?
