Chapter 146: Chapter 143: You’ll Know Once You Come Down (Please Subscribe) Chapter 146: Chapter 143: You’ll Know Once You Come Down (Please Subscribe) About an hour later, Lin Rui and Wang Sen walked out of the meeting room, both with smiles on their faces.
Wang Sen was happy because Professor Han promised to end his probation period early and raise his salary to the level of a captain.
This meant that Wang Sen’s monthly salary could reach 120,000 Federal dollars.
Of course, the fixed monthly salary was of no benefit to him; the advantage was that after the salary increase, he could unlock several million more in loan credit.
Once he completely mastered the “Xuanwu Sacred Blood” and further increased his spiritual power strength, he could consider upgrading to an S+ grade exo-suit.
Wang Sen was still planning to choose from the “Xuanwu Sacred Body” series, as this set of sacred body exo-suits was completed hundreds of years ago and had been continuously perfected ever since, making it very cost-effective and requiring relatively low spiritual power.@@@@
Lin Rui was also very happy.
...
Besides his salary increase to 180,000 Federal dollars a month, Professor Han also gifted him a box of “Xuan Liquid Divine Gold,” calling it a belated welcome gift.
Lin Rui felt quite embarrassed as the welcome gift was extremely valuable, worth 15,000 taels of demon silver.
Taking into account that Professor Han had overpaid for the “Xuan Liquid Divine Gold” by purchasing demon silver at a premium in Wang City County, the actual price would only be higher.
But Professor Han insisted on giving it.
When Lin Rui tried to refuse, Professor Han became quite unhappy.
Li Li put it bluntly; the funds to purchase the “Xuan Liquid Divine Gold” came from the project sponsors, not Professor Han’s personal money.
This account had already been settled.

Would they resell it afterward?
What would the project sponsors think then?
Would they suspect that the professor had embezzled funds?
And although “Xuan Liquid Divine Gold” was precious, very few people could actually use it—the members of their team didn’t need it.
Yet in Lin Rui’s hands, it would greatly enhance the combat abilities of both the Blood Blade and himself.
The most crucial point was that for this rescue operation, Lin Rui would bear the greatest risk and pressure; the team had to compensate him.
After much deliberation, Lin Rui accepted the “Xuan Liquid Divine Gold.”
Just as Elder Brother Li said, after Blood Blade’s strength improved, it would greatly benefit their entire team.
Upon leaving the meeting room, Lin Rui received a message from Lin Xi.
Lin Xi (Summer’s Faint Thoughts): Brother, what have you been doing down there?
You’ve made so much money all of a sudden.
You didn’t really rob someone’s vault or a wealthy family, did you?
She was concerned that the huge sum of money Lin Rui had earned would bring great troubles.
In Tianji Star, robbing shops and banks was a crime that would have you hunted and killed by the authorities.
Moreover, there were numerous “sword catchers,” or Bounty Hunters, who took on the mission of capturing criminals for the court in exchange for money.
They would relentlessly pursue their targets, leaving Lin Rui with no place to stand.
Upon seeing the message, Lin Rui couldn’t help but chuckle.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Nonsense!
Your brother hasn’t stooped to being a violent thief.
This money was given to me.
All you need to do now is focus on one thing: learn as much as you can about Tianji Star’s knowledge and configure the exobody as soon as possible.
Lin Xi (Summer’s Faint Thoughts): ???

Giving you money?
33 million?
Lin Xi also sent an emoticon of a hammer hitting a head, thinking her brother was insulting her intelligence.
Who would be rushing to give 33 million Federal dollars to Lin Rui, a foreign body walker who had just arrived?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): There’s no point explaining too much to you now.
You’ll understand once you come down.
Remember!
You must choose your exobody identity from the options I’ve outlined for you, Professor Sima should have sent you the screenshots, right?
Just don’t get it wrong.
Please check your account.
Also, the university’s board of directors will grant you one more direct Ph.D.
spot, but I can’t do anything about the expert you requested—the Tianlan Corporation’s abnormality team is currently conscripted by the military.
Rain of Heart Dust (Fang Ranran): I don’t know how urgent it is on your side?
If it’s very urgent, I can make a personal contribution to help you hire a fifth-realm master.
After reading it, Professor Han paused, realizing that this Fang Ranran was quite different from her father.
This girl knew how to maneuver and, like her father, was adept at using various resources, but after using yours, she was also willing to reciprocate.
Professor Han’s impression of Fang Ranran had greatly improved.
Flares Across Cities (Han Kedao): It’s okay now, Miss Fang, your money came just in the nick of time.
There’s no need to worry about Wang City on your end; we should be able to handle it on our own.
Flares Across Cities (Han Kedao): I must thank you, Miss Fang.
You’ve brought me a good student.
Another message came from Zhou Yunfei, a major general of the Federal Security Bureau.
Zhou Yunfei: Old Han, I’ve contacted the military, and they can’t spare anyone, but I’ve pulled some sponsorship for you, approximately 80 million Federation credits worth, which should be enough to hire two true masters.
The condition is that they need your guarantee that the excavation of Qin Yan’s dwelling will be successful and that they can share in the findings.
After reading Zhou Yunfei’s reply, Professor Han felt a slight easing of the annoyance in his heart.
After all, both sides were to blame for the recent incident.
He had acted without considering Zhou Yunfei’s warning, but the promised support from the Federal Security Bureau hadn’t materialized in time either.
His old classmate had always held himself to high standards; it must not have been easy for him to swallow his pride and pull sponsors for him.
Flares Across Cities (Han Kedao): No need, I’ve encountered a benefactor who should help us to get through this disaster unscathed.
However, your proposal can be a backup option, Old Zhou.
As he replied, a thought struck him.
Lin Rui was exactly the kind of talent Zhou Yunfei and the Federal Security Bureau desperately wanted, the sort they would carry on a palanquin with the highest honors to recruit.
If Lin Rui could join the Federal Security Bureau, he could immediately relieve Zhou Yunfei’s current dilemma.
Professor Han shook his head immediately; he wanted to help his old friend, but he couldn’t make such a decision on his own.
This matter must be decided by Lin Rui himself.
Joining the Security Bureau would indeed grant Lin Rui access to vast internal resources and astonishing power, but it was not without its drawbacks.
Flares Across Cities (Han Kedao): I spent 21 million Federation credits of project funding yesterday on a rescue mission.
Since it was for a special purpose, it’s a bit inconvenient to claim expenses.
You might want to check.
While Professor Han was sending the message, Zhou Yunfei was in his office dealing with official business.
He didn’t pay much attention to Professor Han’s reply.
The so-called “special purpose” typically implied bribery or something similar, a common occurrence in the Sky’s Limit region.
Zhou Yunfei pondered if Old Han had connected with some relationship in Wang City that could actually help him withstand the censure of the Judiciary Ministry?
He opened the project database to check the details.
The Federal Security Bureau was the largest sponsor of Han Kedao’s project, so all information regarding the project was transparent to him.
Zhou Yunfei paused slightly when he saw that Lin Rui was also part of the project team.
Also, when Zhou Yunfei opened Lin Rui’s personal information, he found it encrypted and his access was insufficient to open it.
Zhou Yunfei touched his nose in confusion.
Years of experience on the security front made him feel that something was amiss.
Was Han Kedao trying to conceal something?
Meanwhile, Fang Ranran, who was practicing martial arts with the members of Mingde University’s Martial Arts Society, was also puzzled.
Was she the one who sent a good student to Professor Han?
Was it Lin Rui?
She shook her head and continued to focus on her martial arts practice.
With the challenges from Tianjing Martial University and Future Science and Technology University imminent, as a member of the Martial Arts Society, she had to prepare for the confrontation.
The reserve teams of Tianjing Martial University and Future Science and Technology University were strong, but Fang Ranran believed her team would surely defend their home court.
