Chapter 442 Meeting (Subscribe)

While Lin Rui was driving his Shenyi 520 supercar to Linghu's house, he received a video call from Sima Lin.

"Xiao Rui, your colonized dragon armor has officially arrived. When will it be implanted?"

"Sorry, Professor, I might be delayed for a day or two." Lin Rui smiled bitterly: "Something delayed me a bit, and I haven't been very attentive to my cultivation these past few days."

After obtaining Huangfu Qing's fighting spirit, Lin Rui's overall physical fitness improved rapidly.

Now he would exchange for a kind of Zhuang Gong every 5 days, and combined with the 5-type alien strengthening potion and various medicines, he could jump about 5 points in 380 days, getting closer and closer to the requirements of X-level Colonial Dragon Armor.

However, he was indeed delayed these two days, mainly because he was busy with affairs in the Seventh Base City and could not spare the time to practice martial arts.

Although Lin Rui also brought the quantum trance device and sleeping cabin with him, he left them on the escort satellite and never used them.

He even took a temporary leave from his daily homework at Luo Wangshu's place. The affairs there were too tight and his schedule was packed, leaving him no time to spare.

"That's no problem. Your Colonial Dragon Armor is currently in a frozen state, but it's best not to stay in this state for more than a month."

Sima Lin knew that Lin Rui was indeed very busy.

This guy unexpectedly built up such a big business and even opened a pharmaceutical company with Fang Ranran. He must have put in a lot of effort for this.

What surprised him even more was that while Lin Rui was so busy, his physical fitness was still improving so quickly.

And in the past ten days or so, it's like eating dynamite, with explosive growth.

"This time, the Academy of Sciences has added some goodies to your Colonial Dragon Armor. It should be a surprise for you. I'll keep it a secret for now, and you'll find out when you come and see it."

Sima Lin's expression suddenly grew serious. "You should know what happened at the research institute, right? Xie Qing not only replicated the process of making your colonization suit 'Iron Heart', but also recruited a volunteer to implant it. The entire colonization suit experiment was a complete success."

According to the data, this volunteer's mental burden is only three-quarters of that of the authentic Iron Heart, yet its overall power and effectiveness are 35% stronger than the authentic Iron Heart. Xiao Rui, even if we don't consider the subsequent absorption of the colonization suit by the human body, if it is truly integrated into one, your idea of ​​colonization suit creation will also bring about revolutionary changes in colonization suit martial arts!"

——Just by reducing the mental burden by a quarter, the possibility of alien walkers suffering from colonization syndrome will be reduced, and more colonization suits can be implanted.

In other words, the requirements for colonial martial arts will be lowered soon, and it will be further popularized. The existing colonial martial artists will also benefit from it and greatly improve their strength.

Lin Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Professor, are you tempted? I really hope you can join our institute and lead a research and development project, but I'm worried about your ties and concerns."

"There's actually no problem on my end. I have a contract with the affiliated college of Mingde University to hire an expert, but it's only three days a week. Although I've led a few projects at the school, they're not very important and my students can complete them."

Sima Lin laughed at himself at this point. "I can't care less about that. When I encounter a research project like this that could revolutionize the times, I'll join even if it means paying a penalty. I wonder if you're welcoming this?"

"That's what I'd love to hear! Professor, if you're willing to come and help, it would be an honor for our institute!"

Lin Rui said firmly, "My idea is to set up two research groups. You will lead one to preside over the development of the 'main colonization suit', and Xie Qing will lead the other group to be responsible for the 'auxiliary colonization suit'. The initial research and development funds are 50 billion federal coins each. After the funds are used up, we will apply to Ruifang Pharmaceutical Company. However, I have a request. I hope that the various colonization suits developed in the initial stage will be related to my Huang Lei Holy Body!"

Sima Lin smiled knowingly. It seemed that Lin Rui wanted to apply this technology to himself first, to replace the colonial clothes on his body.

This is normal. Who would invest in something that has no benefits?

But he was a little worried because Lin Rui wanted to invest 100 billion federal coins right away.

The question is, Ruifang Pharmaceutical is a company led by Fang Ranran, right?
Fang Ranran is currently at a very critical juncture. She is about to confront Linghu Mingde's father in advance due to his physical condition. Is she willing to withdraw funds for investment now?
"Oh right!" Lin Rui suddenly remembered something: "I recently found a top-notch bioengineer. He is a master in biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, colonization biology, pharmacology, colonization surgery, colonization manufacturing, and bioengineering.

He's even capable of crafting SSS+—no! X-level colonial suits—individually. He can customize any colonial suit to your specifications. As long as you provide specific production ideas and required efficacy data, and your ideas aren't too outrageous, he should be able to help you realize them.

Due to his limited status, this person is temporarily unable to join our research institute. However, if you and Xie Qing encounter any unsolvable problems during the research and development process, you can consult him or directly entrust the task to him."

After he finished speaking, he directly sent an electronic business card to Sima Lin.

Sima Lin's pupils shrank slightly.

A biological engineer who can create X-level colonization suits? Is this true?

Even the Sky Blue Group does not have a colony engineer of this level. They must rely on the assistance of the East Asian Academy of Sciences to produce X-level colony suits.

Furthermore, this person can not only customize any colonial outfit, but can also reach master level in multiple disciplines. Who is this big shot in the federal biological science community?
Sima Lin was not surprised by Lin Rui's next sentence. People of this level must have various constraints and it is impossible for them to easily escape and join Lin Rui's research institute.

For example, Sima Lin, in addition to the contract with Mingde University, also has the identity of "Wuma" in the Changsheng Society. If the two projects he recently worked on for the Changsheng Society had not been completed, he would not have been able to leave or stay as he pleased.

The question is Lin Rui, where did he get hold of such a top academic figure?

※※※※

The Linghu family's residence is located to the west of Mingde University. It is a small manor covering an area of ​​500 acres.
In reality, the Linghu family's mansion used to be even more expansive, reportedly covering over 30,000 mu (approximately 16,000 hectares). However, Linghu Mingde donated it to build a school, the prototype of what would become Mingde University. Only after Lin Rui arrived did he realize he had underestimated Fang Ranran's words "private" and "small-scale."

The Linghu family didn't hold a grand ceremony, but Linghu Mingde lived for 760 years. How many relatives and friends did he have? How many old friends did he have?

If you put yourself in his shoes, you can understand why. If he were Linghu Mingde, since he had invited this friend, should he invite another familiar friend? Would not inviting him offend others? Would it leave hidden dangers for future generations?

What kind of people were Linghu Mingde's friends? What kind of commotion would it be if they all got together? Even if the upper-class people of the Ninth Base City hadn't been invited, they would have found a way to squeeze in.

So this "small-scale" private birthday party is actually not that small.

Lin Rui drove his sports car into the underground garage and found that the seven-story garage covering an area of ​​7 acres was already filled with various luxury cars and there were almost no parking spaces left.

However, the garage manager of the Linghu family attached great importance to him. He not only personally guided him to park the car, but also called a deputy housekeeper and respectfully welcomed him into the manor in an internal transportation vehicle.

This surprised everyone around who saw this scene.

"Who is this? He looks so young. Is he from some big family? Why does the Linghu family value him so much?"

"I recognize him. He seems to be a famous university martial arts star in our Ninth Base City. He's said to have a very high traffic and is a top-tier celebrity!"

"Just a university martial arts star? He seems to be only at the fourth level? How is that possible? Even those top martial arts stars who have reached the eighth level of cultivation would not be valued by Linghu Mingde."

"I know. That guy should be Fang Ranran's gigolo. I just saw the car he was driving, a Shenyi 520. It was Ranran's car in front. It should be transferred to his name now."

"Not really? How could Fang Ranran possibly like him?"

"This guy is quite impressive. He's proficient in over 50 basic Yang-type martial arts, all reaching Grandmaster and Grandmaster levels. He promotes products for the Sky Blue Group, generating tens of billions in sales a month. It's said that his video commissions have reached over 30 billion."

Lin Rui had sharp ears and eyes, and he heard what these people were talking about, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The internal transportation vehicle that he and the deputy butler were riding in had stopped in front of a seven-story building with a simple and elegant shape and magnificent scale in the east wing of the manor.

"This is the private collection and library that our old man built for himself. He usually lives and works here."

The deputy housekeeper walked ahead and introduced Lin Rui with a smile: "The old man is now in his study, meeting with some of his old friends——"

He had brought Lin Rui to the door of Linghu Mingde's study, where there was a large and elegantly decorated waiting room.
Lin Rui saw that there were already many people waiting in the waiting room, including Fang Ranran.

Just when Lin Rui thought he would have to wait here too, the deputy housekeeper continued to lead him forward: "The old man has instructed before that as soon as Mr. Lin arrives, you must be taken to see him as soon as possible."

As soon as the deputy butler said this, the guests in the waiting room all looked at Lin Rui with surprise on their faces.

Fang Ranran's eyes revealed confusion. Although she had long known that Linghu Mingde seemed to attach special importance to Lin Rui, she was still puzzled and curious. Why was this?
The deputy butler first knocked on the study door, then pushed it open and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Rui.

When Lin Rui walked in, he found six people sitting in the study, one of whom was the mayor Huo Bangguo, and two others were wearing the uniforms of the federal army marshals. They looked like active four-star marshals of the federal army. These three people and an old man in a suit sitting on the left side of the desk were all wearing the exclusive badge of "Honorary Member of Congress".

Lin Rui also recognized one of them. That should be Linghu Mingde's eldest son, Linghu Tianchou, the chairman of Tianhu Trading Company. He was sitting in the corner of the study with a cautious look on his face.

Linghu Mingde himself was sitting behind the desk. Although he was over seventy years old, he looked energetic, with his silver hair combed meticulously and his temperament dignified and elegant.

When Lin Rui walked in, several people in the study looked at him sharply, all with expressions of confusion and displeasure.

Even Linghu Tianchou frowned, as if he couldn't understand Linghu Mingde's actions.

Linghu Mingde smiled faintly. "Let me introduce you to a young man I recently met. Don't be fooled by his young age; he's quite capable. He owns many excellent companies, including Ruifang Pharmaceuticals, Hailan Alien Company, Linrui Studio, and Ruisen Trading Company. His total market capitalization exceeds 3000 billion federal coins, and he has numerous experts under his command. Furthermore, he's the vice chairman of the newly established political party, the Bright Front."

The eyes of several people changed slightly, and they were a little surprised. Then their expressions relaxed and they withdrew their gaze from Lin Rui.

They knew what kind of person Linghu Mingde was and would never speak without thinking.

In fact, an enterprise with a mere 3000 billion federal coins is not worth their attention. However, Lin Rui is very young and does not seem to be from a big family. This shows that he is a rising star with extremely great potential.

Such a person is indeed qualified to enter here.

Among them, the mayor Huo Bangguo looked at Lin Rui carefully.

For some reason, he inexplicably felt that the young man in front of him was very familiar.

Furthermore, he had no idea that such an outstanding young entrepreneur had emerged from their Ninth Base City—
