章節 22: Chapter 21 Higher Demon Blood
Fang Ranran was rather impulsive, and as soon as Lin Rui agreed, she couldn't wait to drag the two to handle all sorts of procedures.
She knew Lin Rui was highly sought-after and many companies wanted to poach him, so she feared that the piece of meat that was almost in her mouth would slip away again. She wouldn't be at ease until everything was settled.
The first stop was the Prosthetic College. Since the college entrance exams at all the major bases and cities of Tianji Star were over, Fang Ranran, acting on behalf of the school's admissions office, specially recruited both of them to start school next semester.
Next was arranging for Lin Rui and the others to join an Alien Exploration team. The school's exploration teams were generally led by professors, and the team members were also the professors' students.
So Fang Ranran used her authority as a director to place Lin Rui and another person under a professor named 'Han Kedao' to do a combined bachelor's and doctorate program.
However, when Fang Ranran took Lin Rui and his companion to find this professor, Lin Rui noticed that the professor, who appeared to be about forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed smart glasses and emanating a scholarly aura, looked extremely displeased, his eyes burning with fire.
He first asked Lin Rui and the others to step outside, then discussed the matter behind closed doors with Fang Ranran. Lin Rui heard the sound of a desk being banged 'thud thud' as if there was a fight, and faintly heard the roars of 'quota', 'immediate combat power', 'why should', 'funding', 'sponsorship'.
After hearing this, Lin Rui and Wang Sen looked anxiously at the officer in professional attire.
This Professor Han would be their doctoral supervisor for the next eight years and also their team leader; would they be given a hard time in the future?
The officer in professional attire noticed their concern and smiled, "Don't worry, nominally you two will follow Professor Han, but you'll mainly be undertaking activities with the Martial Arts Society. The 'Quantum Incarnation Device' you'll be using will also be kept at our Martial Arts Society. However, to pass the inspections of the competition committee, it's essential to take part in the alien activities, at least every few months, to join one or two missions with Professor Han, otherwise, it won't look good."
She paused for a moment, emphasizing her tone, "Speaking of which, I must remind you that your activities and missions on Tianji Star must ensure personal safety and avoid any danger as much as possible."
Lin Rui nodded his head.
He understood the meaning of the officer in professional attire, which was basically to do as little as possible on the ground, just get by, but to insist on signing in and clocking in to leave the competition committee with nothing to say.
Wang Sen also intuited the message, "Understood, Sister Yu, all my actions down there will prioritize Rui's safety."
He already knew that the professional woman's last name was Yu, named Yu Feicui, who Fang Ranran had brought in to manage the Martial Arts Society as its manager.
She was also a high-ranking Martial Artist and had obtained a Level One Martial Arts coaching certificate.
The two Deputy Generals in the Martial Arts Society were very respectful towards her.
Yu Feicui looked at Wang Sen with a surprised glance, thinking to herself that this little chubby guy was indeed clever.
She smiled slightly, "Don't worry too much, if you encounter any difficulties down there, you can inform the society president as soon as possible; she will provide you with assistance."
The Tianlan Biotech Group itself backed a powerful group of alien walkers, helping the drug companies and Prosthetic Companies affiliated with the biotech group with various exploration and research and development tasks. Their foundation within Tianji Star was not inferior to those medium-sized Alien Exploration Companies.
About three minutes later, Professor Han personally saw Fang Ranran out the door.
His face still looked awful, completely ashen.
Lin Rui wanted to greet Professor Han, but the latter gave both of them a cold glance and immediately turned around and walked back to his office.
He shut the door with a 'bang', the loud noise causing all the doors and windows in the hallway to tremble.
Lin Rui's lips twitched. It seemed his doctoral supervisor was very dissatisfied with them.
"It's all settled," Fang Ranran said, unconcerned about Professor Han's attitude. She gestured boldly and magnanimously, "Let's go. Next, I'll take you two for a full-body examination and to tailor Quantum Incarnation Devices and 'Divine Sleep Type 3' sleep chambers for you."
Wang Sen was visibly moved and hastily shook his head, "President, I don't need the 'Divine Sleep Type 3'; a regular sleep chamber will do."
Lin Rui was already very grateful that he could bring him to the Martial Arts Club and the exploration team at school; he did not expect to receive the same treatment as Lin Xi.
Fang Ranran laughed when she heard this, "Actually, the sleep chamber doesn't cost any money. It's an experimental model, and our company is already looking for people to test it. I can get a few spots from within the company. Who to test it on if not you?"
She was very proud, having secured Lin Xi, this shining gem, with two pieces of equipment that didn't cost a penny.
"Ranran, don't forget about the exotic body modulation. Let's get that done today as well. I remember Mingde University's affiliated hospital takes on the business of cultivating exotic bodies for exotic practitioners," said Yu Feicui with a light chuckle, turning back to look at the two, "Do you have any special resources in cultivating exotic bodies? If not, use the ones from Tianlan Group. Their exploration team just got their hands on the blood of a high-class demon from the seventh realm. Ranran could let them spare a couple of drops to serve as the genetic source. Blood from a demon of the seventh realm can ensure that your exotic bodies possess one or two rather powerful bloodline talents."
As she said this, she deliberately winked at the two, "Ranran is very busy, and I often don't see her for ten days or half a month. If you miss today, who knows when you'll be able to see her again."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ranran hesitated slightly.
In the eyes of others, she was wealthy and bold, investing a lot in the Martial Arts Club, but in truth, all the various equipment in the club were sponsored by tricking a bunch of rich second-generation kids, along with utilizing the redundant resources inside Tianlan Group. She hadn't spent a dime herself.
Her father said that a qualified politician must learn to use other people's money to do what they want, and Fang Ranran was indeed practicing this principle.
The blood of the seventh realm's high-class demon, although it couldn't compare in price to "Divine Sleep No. 3," Ranran would still need to call in favors to get it.
She then laughed at herself and swiftly nudged Yu Feicui's shoulder with her elbow, "Sure thing, Feicui sis. You're in such a hurry to secure benefits for your team members? Alright, I'll call and ask them for it now."
Wang Sen was immediately overjoyed; "That's very kind of you, President, and you too, Sister Yu!"
According to federal law, the government would subsidize the cultivation of exotic bodies for exotic practitioners.
However, the exotic bodies cultivated in this way usually have average talents, just on par with the standard Tianji Star people.
Some wealthy and resourceful individuals would invest additional money and various divine items from Tianji Star, or the blood of top-level powerhouses, to cultivate exotic bodies with stronger talents.
This was somewhat similar to the current online games, where wealthy players could get better initial talents when creating their characters.
Wang Sen's family was merely average middle-class; what good resources could they have? Therefore, he was extremely thrilled at the moment.
Lin Xi originally felt a tinge of dread.
Now to cultivate an exotic body? There was no need to rush this, right? It wouldn't be too late until after he'd learned the Tianji Star language.
However, when he heard about the blood of a high-class demon from the seventh realm, his heart leapt with excitement.
Demons from the seventh realm were equivalent to Deputy Generals and Generals in the federal armed with prosthetic enhancements. Blood from a demon of this level was not something ordinary people could obtain; even a single drop of ordinary seventh realm blood started at a price of at least 200,000, and if it came from a high-class demon, it might be impossible to buy even if one had the money.
This opportunity was too good to miss.
Lin Xi then felt a slight stirring in his heart, reached into his pocket, and clenched tightly the blood-red crystal that Lin Xi had given him.
Ever since he got this blood-red crystal, he suspected it had an extraordinary origin and that it could potentially enhance exotic body talents.
This had to do with his parents' previous occupation, who, just a few years ago, were chief researchers at a well-known institute on Tianji Star.
Given their position at the time, they could have acquired some exceptional items.
The question now was whether the blood in that crystal was compatible with the blood of the seventh realm's high-class demon.
