Chapter 678 Shocking Tax Amount

After Lin Rui received Lin Tianchen's reply, he suddenly felt a headache.

I have to work on this colonial costume for the whole day and I don't have a single moment to spare.

However, this second commander-in-chief is not only the benefactor who promoted "Thunder", but also a natural ally in the fight against the Changsheng Society. Helping Lin Tianchen is helping himself.

Lin Tianchen’s true spirit problem must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise Li Jianglong will be unable to handle it alone within the Security Bureau.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): Got it, I’ll arrange the time.

At this time, Lin Rui was in the 'Ruifang Colonization Hospital' next to the Governor's Mansion in Star Harbor, checking his physical data.

This colonial hospital took three months to build and consists of five buildings. The tallest one is 5 meters high and has 472 floors, while the shortest one has 75 floors. The building combines the Tianjixing and Federal architectural styles, and the overall appearance is magnificent.

There is also the divine emblem of the Lord of Divine Law outside, which was inlaid by the Goddess of Divine Law herself. It is said that it can provide a guarantee for this colonization hospital and ensure that the colonization and colonization surgeries provided by this hospital are very safe.

At this time, there were more than 2,000 doctors and more than 7,000 nurses inside the hospital, who were busy making final preparations for the opening of the hospital. In addition, Lin Rui only brought in a set of top-level medical testing and convergence equipment, which was exclusively for use by the Marquis of Zhenguo and the forces under his control.

There is one advantage of being in the Great Song Star Port, everything related to the demons can be done openly.

"The overall mental power score is 62821, including a mental strength score of 53231 points and a mental sensing score of 84214 points. Both far exceed the standard of a general and are close to the standard of a one-star marshal."

The person who did the test for Lin Rui's mutant this time was Sima Lin. He stared at Lin Rui's test data with a strange look in his eyes.

After Lin Rui successfully transformed into a dragon, the East Asian Academy of Sciences had increasing hopes for their 'X Plan'.

The academicians who initiated this research project originally just wanted to cast a wide net and catch more fish, but they didn't expect that the concentration of X-source in Lin Rui's body would become stronger and higher, and the various pseudo-X main colonization suits also showed signs of further deepening.

So they hope to further observe and obtain the data of Lin Rui's variant.

However, Lin Rui currently only trusts him and is only willing to let him see the most core physical data, which makes Sima Lin quite ashamed.

"Your overall physical fitness score is 32411 points, just over 3000 points away from reaching the standard for implanting that pseudo-X-level 'Divine Power Pillar'. I didn't expect your cultivation to progress so quickly after entering the Sixth Realm, Lin Rui. The key is that you've progressed so quickly without even a hint of a weak or cluttered foundation. It's truly incredible."

Sima Lin detected this and shook his head slightly.

The physical and mental qualities of an admiral start at 30000 points, that of a general is 40000 points, and the standard for a one-star marshal is 100000 points.

Therefore, whether it is the mental strength or the physical quality, Lin Rui has actually reached or even exceeded the seventh realm.

What's scary is that when Lin Rui replaced his entire set of new colonial suits, he also went through a comprehensive review, strengthening what needed to be strengthened and integrating what needed to be integrated.

At present, Lin Rui's main colonial equipment is all pseudo-X level, and he has 5 SSS-level bloodline abilities, 4 SSS+ bloodline abilities, and 2 pseudo-X-level bloodline abilities. The strength of his bloodline abilities can reach the super-emperor level even if he enters the eighth realm!

His martial arts attainments are even more superb and extraordinary. He is simply a hexagonal warrior with no weaknesses.

His war dragon has also reached pseudo X level. Theoretically, it can transform into any dragon species. It is derived from the 'Vajra War Dragon Seed' provided by the Earth Federation. It can naturally use 40% of the 'Vajra' concept, 30% of the 'Defense' concept, and 30% of the 'Strong' concept, and it will continue to increase with the improvement of Lin Rui's cultivation!
This is a monster!

Even without any external help, Lin Rui can face off against an Eighth Realm Super Emperor, who is even close to being a quasi-parliamentarian. So how can Han Xian'er win?
Sima Lin was now considering whether he should take part in this betting. Lin Rui's odds were currently decent, around 2.4:2.6.

Lin Rui smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I have to hurry up. Xiaoyi is already in the seventh realm now. Besides, you know what my current situation is, Professor. The situation is forcing me to move forward——"

As he spoke, he checked the skill lists of No. 2 and No. 3 with the Battle Spirit Ring.

Not counting the higher-level Tongtian and Shenzhao martial arts, there are currently 13 dragon-level body-refining methods. The methods for condensing the primordial spirit and soul power are no longer available, as they have all been copied by him.

Lin Rui estimated that if he changed three more types, he would reach the threshold for implanting the 'Magic Pillar of Heaven'.

However, his accumulated soul power points were almost gone, with only 134000 points left, which was only enough to exchange for a Dragon-level Grandmaster-level body refining method.

In the past two months, Lin Rui worked very hard to exchange and used the 'Glorious Holy Altar' to help with smelting, which is why his cultivation speed was so fast.

Lin Rui was still not satisfied and wished it could be faster.

So he had to find a way to collect more soul power points, and his Blood God Wings also lacked pure blood energy.

Lin Rui couldn't help but think of the tens of thousands of demons within the Ten Thousand Dragons Pagoda, licking his lips with eagerness. Sima Lin was wrong. His rapid cultivation still posed significant risks. Lin Rui could already sense the power of the Great Sun Celestial Venerable, rapidly growing and seeping through him. Neither the Purification Method nor the Brilliant Altar could purify him.

However, the seventh realm is very important to him. Only by reaching this level can Lin Rui ensure that he has the ability to protect himself in most cases and will not repeat the mistakes he made when the invincible Dharma King came to attack him.

If he didn't use the concept of the abyss, he would definitely not be a match for the Invincible King of Magic. However, with the help of the 9SSS-level external elixir that was about to be obtained, the two newly acquired imperial-level magic weapons, and his "Blood God Wings" secret technique, Lin Rui was already able to escape from senior gods and even super gods without using the concept of the abyss.

As long as he can escape to Luo Wangshu or the shrine in the Eastern Abyss, no one can do anything to him.

By then, Lin Rui will also have a more powerful abyss source core and more abyss source essence, which can support the abyss concept for a longer time.

Therefore, only after reaching the seventh realm could he stop and slow down, slowly accumulate and eliminate hidden dangers.

Lin Rui must now make rapid progress on the road to the seventh realm at any cost.

The next morning, a grand opening ceremony was held at the Song Star Port.

It was a day of great acclaim! Not only did the Earth Federation government send a delegation, led by the President's Chief of Staff, to witness the ceremony, but also various tycoons and business leaders from the Earth Federation gathered at Starport to cut the ribbon for the opening of their own "Chamber of Commerce."

In comparison, the momentum of the Song Dynasty was much weaker. Apart from the second divine envoy Yu Huaxuan and Lin Hao, and Han Baxian sent by the Divine Palace, none of the other high-ranking officials, noble families, and leaders of powerful sects of the Song Dynasty came to the Star Port in person. Most of them only sent envoys, housekeepers, and shopkeepers, so there were quite a lot of people.

From this we can see that the various forces on Tianji Star are still very wary of trading with Tianmo and are deliberately avoiding suspicion.

However, the highlight comes after the ceremony. This time, the Earth Federation organized a trade fleet of 15000 ships to come to the star port for trade, just to get off to a good start, use trade taxes to impress the Song Dynasty court, and leverage further trade opening.

Lin Rui, Yu Huaxuan, Han Baxian and the chief steward of the inner court sent by the emperor were all sitting in the hall of the governor's mansion, quietly waiting for the calculation results from the accounting office.

Thanks to Lin Rui's prior arrangements, the first trade after the port opens will be counted and completed within two hours, and the corresponding tax amount will be calculated.

Among the four, Han Baxian was the most impatient and looked outside from time to time.

At this time, he was already wearing red clothes and was promoted to the red-robed high priest.

However, Han Baxian knew that his career in the Divine Palace was tied to Lin Hao and his policies, so he was quite concerned about the tax calculation this time.

Yuhuaxuan was drinking tea quietly. He looked calm, but in fact he had added water to the same cup of tea 27 times without changing the tea leaves.

About an hour and a half later, Han Baxian finally lost his patience and said, "Marquis Zhenguo, you should have an idea of ​​the scale of this port trade, right? Can you estimate how much tax the Star Port can collect this time?"

"Prediction?" Lin Rui had actually seen the approximate tax amounts calculated by the major accounting offices from Ji Xueying and others who were patrolling around.

He pretended to be in deep thought, then smiled and said, "I estimate it to be between 4300 million and 4900 million taels of divine gold."

The actual amount is 4423 million taels, and there is still a part that has not been counted, but it should not exceed 4600 million taels.

To be honest, Lin Rui himself was shocked by this number, and he still hasn't figured out why the trade volume is so high.

Yuhuaxuan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and his expression became serious.

The license fees and land transfer fees that Star Harbor had previously paid amounted to a staggering 5800 million taels of divine gold! This was roughly equivalent to four-tenths of the land tax in the Song Dynasty, far exceeding his expectations!
But is the tax on the first day also so high?
How is this possible? How could this star port's trade income be so high?
But if it's true——

Yuhuaxuan could already imagine the scene when all the court officials of the Song Dynasty and the Grand Astronomical Master of the Divine Palace heard this number!
This staggering tax amount would surely shock the entire Song Dynasty! It might even alarm the gods! Lin Rui's position would become even more unshakable.

The expression of the chief steward of the inner court was one of suspicion, shock, joy, and fear.

He was suspicious because he didn't believe it in his heart, he was happy because even if Star Harbor's income was not that high, it could still allow the Song Dynasty court to breathe a sigh of relief, and he was wary of Lin Hao, both because of Lin Hao's ability and the wealth and power that Lin Hao controlled.

Only Han Bashan was filled with pure joy. He believed that Lin Hao would not speak nonsense, and that even if the amount was cut in half, it would be very good.

At this moment, several people heard a voice coming from outside the Governor's Mansion: "Where is the Marquis of Zhenguo Lin Hao? Han Xian'er of the Great Wei has come here today as promised to fight you!"

Everyone in the hall looked changed when they heard this, and they all raised their heads to look outside.
