Chapter 62 The Gentlest in History (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Lin Rui originally planned to give Lin Xi a thorough tour of the campus.
However, once Lin Xi stepped into the room arranged for her by Yu Feicui, she couldn't move any further.
Lin Xi really liked this suite; it was a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment that not only had a spacious and bright lounge but also a gym equipped with more than a dozen training devices, and just the bathroom alone was 30 square meters in size, almost larger than Lin Xi's previous room.
The key was that in the study, a brand-new "Tianyan Jiuxing" had already been set up.
This mid-sized domestic supercomputer, worth 1.2 million Federal coins, which had once made Lin Xi enviously drool, was now sitting in her study, hers to use as she pleased.
On the spot, she pushed Lin Rui out the door, saying she was tired and needed to rest.
Lin Rui felt inexplicably puzzled; just earlier, when he accompanied Lin Xi around the Martial Arts Club, she seemed quite excited about Mingde University's campus environment.
Nevertheless, it was also good timing for Lin Rui, as he wanted to check on the condition of his heterograft.
The intelligence support system of the heterograft was a bit like using bots to auto-play in online games before.
The key was that this bot was too new, its behavior patterns had not yet been tested, and Lin Rui was somewhat uneasy about it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He hurried into his own room and approached the quantum transmigration instrument to retrieve various data about his heterograft.
A moment later, Lin Rui's expression relaxed.
When the soul of the heterograft wanderer had not yet descended into the heterograft, the main quantum communication module in their biological chip could be freed up to maintain two-way contact with the quantum transmigration instrument.
When the heterograft encountered danger or judged that the surrounding environment was deteriorating beyond its ability to cope, it would send out a warning to the original body through the quantum transmigration instrument, urging the original body to descend as soon as possible.
Lin Rui was also able to check on the condition of his heterograft through the quantum transmigration instrument.
He had already reviewed the body data and video footage sent back by the intelligence support system.
Currently, everything was normal, with no special circumstances occurring.
The heterograft was following the behavior patterns he had set, pretending to study case files with Wang Twenty-Seven in the yamen office, essentially slacking off in this manner.
Lin Rui thought this was just fine; he opened the sleep capsule, lay down inside, and once again descended in spirit to Tianji Star.
This time it took very little time; Lin Rui practiced the Thunder Fire Pile skill for an hour using his heterograft and also optimized his behavior patterns before choosing to return.
His main purpose for descending this time was to practice the Thunder Fire Pile skill.
The effects of this practice session were surprisingly good; Lin Rui's spiritual power level had increased to that of a captain, providing great support during the process of opening his meridians, and he now had a thorough understanding of the structure of the meridians, knowing exactly how to open them quickly.
The seventh meridian of Lin Twelve had already been opened, and with just 0.7 meridians left, it was expected that they could be completely opened within two to three days, advancing him to the third realm of martial cultivation, the Blood Training phase.
Martial Cultivators on Tianji Star were not like prosthetic-implanted Martial Cultivators; without the corresponding prosthetics, they couldn't advance.
Lin Rui was also surprised to find that both the physical condition and the amount of True Qi of his heterograft had improved slightly; the increase was not significant, but it was noticeable.
This should still be the "heterograft assimilation effect."
According to this theory, the heterograft and the original body would influence each other until the physical attributes of both had reached the same level.
Of course, there was a condition that the prosthetics possessed by the original body could not be inferior to those of the heterograft.
This reassured Lin Rui greatly.
As long as he advanced to the third realm of Blood Training, ordinary demons and monsters would no longer be able to trouble him.
The only threats to his life would be a few fourth-realm demons in town, and the Blood Blade Lady.
Of course, one would also have to include the County Magistrate and the archivist, but unless these two were determined to openly rebel, they wouldn't dare act against him.
Lin Rui opened his eyes inside the sleep capsule and received a message from Nurse Wang Xiaofang.
Gentlest in History (Wang Xiaofang): Lin, did you just descend to Tianji Star? Why didn't you call me? I can adjust your sleep capsule and body to the most comfortable condition.
Lin Rui felt that Wang Xiaofang's choice of words seemed to contain a bit of resentment.
He immediately responded: Sister Wang, this time I just went down to practice standing stake, just over an hour, didn't want to trouble you too much.
Lin Rui actually felt a bit uneasy, slightly unsettled,
His original body had always been looked after by Wang Xiaofang when he was using his avatars.
The thought that his personal safety would be in the hands of this nurse made Lin Rui a bit anxious.
He wasn't sure whether Wang Xiaofang could be trusted, whether she might tamper with his body while he descended, or simply end him with a swift cut.
Normal avatar users didn't have this problem; everyone went through the same process, with their souls descending to Tianji Star and their bodies taken care of by medical staff.
However, Lin Rui couldn't help but worry.
After the turmoil of the past two days, he had developed a bit of paranoia.
Gentlest in History (Wang Xiaofang): What's all this trouble, no trouble? This is my profession, Lin. Avatar descent involves the soul. A slight carelessness can lead to unpredictable consequences. You must not be the least bit negligent! Also, Manager Yu has already had me amend the contract; moving the employment contract from the Martial Arts Society to Tianlan Corporation.
For the next four years, I will be in charge of looking after your body, along with Wang Sen.
Gentlest in History (Wang Xiaofang): In the future, my family and I will undergo surveillance by Tianlan Corporation's security department. You can be at ease. Assistant Guan and Tianlan Corporation highly value you and take your safety very seriously.
Tomorrow, a Level 6 Security Defense System will be installed inside and outside your room, and there will also be two Type 5 Defender Combat Robots positioned in the corridor. They will take you as a key defense object.
Upon reading this, Lin Rui suddenly felt embarrassed.
He wasn't sure if Wang Xiaofang had intuited his thoughts and therefore went out of her way to explain.
Now, Lin Rui did feel a lot more at ease.
When he descended to Tianji Star in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about the safety of his original body anymore.
A Level 6 Security Defense System was capable of withstanding a short assault from a colonel-level martial cultivator, while the combat capability of Type 5 Defender Combat Robots was on par with lieutenant colonels and colonels among martial cultivators.
Yet, the special attention from Tianlan Corporation made him feel unexpectedly cherished.
Lin Rui hadn't expected Tianlan Corporation to invest so many resources in him, and up until now, he had not given anything back to Tianlan Corporation or Fang Ranran.
After some thought, Lin Rui opened the chat interface with Si Malin.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Professor, I want to ask if it's really impossible for me to implant an artificial Golden Core within half a year?
Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): Why are you suddenly asking this? I get it, is it because you've taken so much from others that it's burning your hands, and you're feeling uneasy?
That was exactly what Lin Rui was thinking, but Professor Sima was scornful of the idea.
Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): If they've given it to you, then take it with ease. It's a fair trade. You signed a contract; the penalty fee is a whopping 380 million, the sort of figure associated with a third-tier martial star! Don't think you owe them anything. If Tianlan Corporation is willing to invest so much in you, they must expect to get a sufficient return from you in the future.
They're capitalists! Why should you, a worker, share any sentiment with them?
Lin Rui couldn't help but touch his nose, left speechless.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Professor, mainly I want to understand which way I should proceed from here.
Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): Alright, no need to explain. That kind of attitude you have is problematic; you'll be eaten alive in the professional world.
Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): With your current bodily condition, it is indeed very difficult to implant an artificial Golden Core within half a year, unless you can awaken your full Sacred Body within six months. Under the effect of the avatar assimilation, your body's various qualities will quickly strengthen.
Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): Oh, there's also another method, which is to train in Blood! Avatar users have a great advantage in the field of artificial blood serum.
If Lin Rui, your avatar, could quickly complete the blood training and successfully capture a king-class monster of the fourth realm or above, extracting its demonic blood, and using your avatar's blood and the king-class demon blood as materials to create blood serum, then the rate of improvement for your original body would be unimaginably quick.
It might not be possible in six months, but giving yourself eight months, there is a definite possibility, precisely in time for the championship.
Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): However, it's also very challenging. The artificial Golden Core that best suits your complete Sacred Body demands a spiritual power quality of 1400 and a physical strength of 1100, both surpassing the rank of a major!
