supreme deity

Chapter 403 Black Life (Subscription Request)

Fang Ranran was full of resentment towards Lin Rui for hiding his identity as the "Supreme One".

However, Lin Rui said that he was also innocent and that he became the head of the ninth branch of the Holy Church of Light inexplicably.

After all, this is a cult recognized by the government. It is not a glorious thing. How can it be publicized so widely?
The timing and manner in which Fang Ranran came to him were very abrupt, leaving him a little unsure of what to do.

Although Lin Rui hesitated again and again, he finally made up his mind to invite Fang Ranran to meet because of his trust in her.

Fang Ranran thought that what he said made sense. If she were Lin Rui, who had inexplicably become the leader of a cult, she would also act with caution.

Her anger had subsided, leaving only surprise. Fang Ranran smiled as she sat next to Lin Rui, drinking juice. "You should know why I came to your sect, right? I want to run for Congress directly in one go. Do you support me?"

When Fang Ranran came, she was in a tense mood.

If it was just a Bright Heart No. 9, she believed that with her ability and sincerity, she would be able to impress and convince him.

But she had no idea about this "Supreme One" before. She didn't know his identity and background, nor his personality and needs. Fang Ranran was already prepared to run into a wall.

She didn't expect that the other party was actually Lin Rui, so it was easy to talk to him.

Fang Ranran knew that since Lin Rui chose to meet her, he must be ready to support her. She immediately felt relieved and all the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days was released.

"Support! Of course I support you, Senior." Lin Rui smiled wryly as he sipped his tea. "The problem is that the election is only three to four months away, and I'm afraid we don't have enough time. According to No. 9's calculations, the Holy Light Church can muster a maximum of 1600 million votes by then, which may not guarantee your election. You should know the price our sect will pay if you fail to win the election."

He invited Fang Ranran over just to talk things out. He wanted to know what bargaining chips Fang Ranran had.

Fang Ranran shook her head. "The truth is, there's no price to pay! I can use my connections to help you register as a legal sect before the election."

Lin Rui hummed when he heard that and looked at Fang Ranran suspiciously.

Even Bright Heart No. 9, who was watching their conversation through the video, exclaimed in surprise.

"I've studied your branch's teachings. Unlike other branches of the Holy Church of Light, you don't contain content that subverts the government, nor do you engage in acts of deceiving or defrauding believers, nor do you commit acts that harm society. You are even more legitimate than most so-called legitimate sects."

Fang Ranran took another sip of her juice. "You've actually split from the other branches of the Holy Church of Light, so why are you clinging to the Holy Church of Light? Why not change it to 'Church of the King of Light' or 'Church of the God of Light'? If you had a legitimate identity, you'd probably gain greater influence."

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "Good idea!"

It is indeed a good idea. Many believers of the Holy Church of Light, as well as their families, are worried about the Holy Church of Light's label as a cult.

Number 9 secretly sent him a message: Yes, it's possible! I just did a rough calculation. If we can get a legal religious license, we can at least get another 600 million believers and 500 million votes.

"But your family alone is definitely not enough. Originally, my grandfather wanted me to revitalize the Colonial Armament Department at Mingde University and win the support of Mingde alumni. However, the election has been moved up by four years, so his plan has been dashed."

Fang Ranran raised her hand and passed some documents to Lin Rui as she spoke. "As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and misfortune and good fortune are intertwined. The Urban Construction Party is also in an awkward position. Due to the struggle between the Jin and Linghu families, their campaign funds are extremely scarce."

In fact, the Linghu family is also short of money now. Although the Jin family is in financial difficulties due to the war, the Linghu family is naturally not much better off.

The alien walkers from both sides are currently fighting to the death within Tianji Star, attacking each other's business empire.

Although Linghu Mingde had the advantage of being a landlord, the Jin family had an endless flow of cash flow thanks to the large amount of rental properties in the Ninth Base City.

However, the guy in front of Fang Ranran is also a big money sponsor.

She also controls enormous financial resources, and together with Lin Rui, they are equivalent to half of the Jin Group.

Lin Rui looked through some information: "You want to recruit people from the Urban Construction Party? Can you succeed?"

"Politicians are like that. They're always on the receiving end of whatever's available. I've already had private contact with some members of the Urban Construction Party. If I'm willing to provide campaign funds and even a small personal gain, they might consider quitting the party and joining the one I'm establishing. Adding the 2000 million votes of the Holy Church of Light to the mix would be enough to tempt them."

Fang Ranran looked at Lin Rui expectantly: "Their public support base is still very good, and the basic base is very solid. If the financial resources are sufficient, these people can bring me at least 6000 million votes. By then, we will not only be able to get one or two members of Congress, but also more than 15% of the seats in the city council of the ninth base city, which is enough for those major parties in Congress to offer extremely favorable conditions to recruit them. How about it? Do you want to bet with me?" Lin Rui thought, since there is no loss, why not bet?
Compared with Fang Ranran, Lin Rui is more optimistic. He must get the "Urban Construction Party" and can also obtain the resources of Mingde University alumni.

Lin Rui checked the schedule of previous martial arts championships and speculated that the time period before the election should be when the top 32 matches would begin.

The official campaign will also last for two months.

At that time, the millions of alumni of Middlebury University would probably be very enthusiastic.

Fang Ranran's expression changed again at this moment, and she looked carefully at Lin Rui's face: "Actually, Xiao Rui, you can also give it a try. In this era of entertainment to death, your face alone is worth 2000 million votes."

Three congressmen are enough to support her in getting a seat on the Homeland Security Committee or the Budget Committee.

Lin Rui smiled dumbly when he heard this, feeling that what Fang Ranran said was not very reliable.

His fans are willing to buy his things, but they may not be willing to vote for him.

They are both around eighteen or nineteen years old. Fang Ranran comes from a political family, while Lin Rui has no foundation at all.

2000 million votes? It's just a dream!
But it's okay to give it a try. He will just sign up and will not canvass for votes, solicit sponsorship, participate in organizing campaign activities, or divert votes from the party.

We’ll get as many votes as we can at that time.

Even if he himself cannot be elected, he can reduce the vote share of others.

Lin Rui shook his head and began to discuss the details with Fang Ranran.

Lin Rui actually had something to ask Fang Ranran.

Mainly for those three shell companies, he wanted to ask Fang Ranran to help buy them through judicial auction, and then change hands a few times to clean them up.

Lin Rui was originally recruited by the Second Commander-in-Chief to join the Department of Homeland Security. Due to Lin Rui's special status and the fact that he was not an agent trained by the Department of Homeland Security, the Second Commander-in-Chief referred to special regulations and granted him immunity, allowing Lin Rui to do business, provided that he could not use his power for profit.

This matter is obviously illegal, so it has to change hands several times.

Fang Ranran has a wide network of contacts and her grandfather's resources, so she can do this without leaving any trace.

The two sides held a secret meeting in the Shanhaiguan box until night before they dispersed. Fang Ranran was in a good mood and went home in the "Luoshen 888" super flying wing supercar that she had just bought with Jin Tianchen's money.

Lin Rui sat in the passenger seat of the 'Shenyi 520' flying wing supercar that Fang Ranran gave him.

Wang Tianwu sat in the driver's seat and asked expressionlessly, "Boss, where are we going next? Back to Mingde University?"

He secretly sighed in his heart that the dignified Eighth Realm Super Emperor and the reserve two-star marshal had actually fallen to the level of a driver.

"This supercar is going back to the university, and we are not going back."

As Lin Rui spoke, he took out two bags from the back seat and threw one of them to Wang Tianwu: "The alert level of the Ninth Base City has recently been lowered, and the media's attention has also been diverted, so now you have to accompany me to do a dirty job."

Wang Tianwu looked suspicious when he heard this: "What kind of dirty work?"

The alert level in the city has dropped a lot. Originally, there were two or three police cars stationed at every intersection, but now there are none.

But what does this have to do with them?
Wang Tianwu then saw Lin Rui wearing an exoskeleton armor that had obviously been repaired, and humming the song "I am a seaweed, seaweed".

Wang Tianwu didn't react for a moment, and it took him a while to react. The steering wheel in his hand tilted. If the in-car AI hadn't intervened in time, their car would have almost crashed into the building next to them.

Wang Tianwu thought to himself, "Oh my god!" His boss turned out to be that nursery rhyme killer!
