Chapter 250: Opportunity (Subscribe Please)_2
Lin Rui, although responded this way, thought that he still had to find something for these people to do, to keep them from being too idle.
Next, Professor Sima and others took nearly two hours to make the third adjustment to him.
The final real-combat stress test was jointly conducted by Yu Feicui and Guan Biran, both colonels in the armed forces.
The resulting data from the test was nearly perfect!
After this test, Fang Kongfang and several academicians left in succession, looking pleased, and Professor Sima also locked himself in the laboratory.
The implantation of the pseudo "Golden Core X" provided him with a lot of valuable data that was beneficial to his research into the abyss.
At this time, Lin Rui also released the suppression inside the Golden Core.
A mark of "Holy Thunder Fire" instantly ignited on his chest, identical to that of his alter ego.

Half an hour later, Lin Rui and Wang Sen arrived at the secret base next to the school.
This secret base, modified from a factory building, was not far from the Third Special Operations Division's office building, only a distance of 180 meters.
Lin Rui had also had a cable laid underground, allowing Lin Xi to directly connect to the internal network of the Third Special Operations Division and the quantum supercomputer "Shen Guang" Model 7 provided by Zhou Yunfei for the Division.
At that time, Lin Xi, following Lin Rui's instructions, was investigating the status of "Heart of Guang Ming No. 9".
Lin Xi, with arms crossed, watched with great interest the numerous documents she had found. "The core AI of the Guang Ming Sect in the ninth base city is indeed the Heart of Guang Ming No. 9. In the past, the disputes over doctrine among the first-generation missionaries of the Federal Guang Ming Sect led them, after debating scripture, to believe that no one could represent the will of the 'Light Saint King.' Therefore, in the fourteen cities of the Earth Federation, they established 14 clusters of supercomputers, creating 14 super AIs 'Heart of Guang Ming.'"
"It is said that these Hearts of Guang Ming can contact the enigmatic 'Light Saint King' and 'Supreme Holy Artifact' to arbitrate doctrinal disputes. Later on, as the 'Heart of Guang Ming' also showed outstanding capabilities in managing the sect and opposing the government, the Federal Guang Ming Sect became increasingly dependent on these 'Hearts of Guang Ming', believing these 14 super AIs to be the incarnations of the Light Saint King and the Supreme Holy Artifact.
Because of this, the senior clergy of the Guang Ming Sect had to go through the 'Heart of Guang Ming' when exercising their powers; otherwise, their actions were considered irregular and not in compliance with the doctrine. Interestingly, out of these 14 Hearts of Guang Ming, five have been destroyed by the federal government, and the remaining nine appear to be in competition with each other."
She had actually been investigating the Guang Ming Sect lately, especially the whereabouts of the elusive Pontiff.
Lin Rui was also looking at the documents Lin Xi had found.
"An incarnation of the Light Saint King, huh?"
Lin Rui murmured to himself, sinking into deep thought.
He still couldn't decide whether to accept the friend request from the Heart of Guang Ming, feeling that the outcome was unpredictable.
Lin Rui then shook his head and decided to put the matter aside for now. He was now a respected Major General in the Security Bureau and a martial arts star with a bit of fame; there was no need to turn himself into the leader of a heretical sect.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Old Fei, are you free tonight? I have some business I need your help with, but it's under the table, so be prepared."
Fei Yunlai had just clocked out from the Martial Arts Society. He initially wanted to reply to Lin Rui, "What are you up to now? Another company raid?" but then he withdrew the message.
A month earlier, Fei Yunlai would definitely have refused.
One incident like the Iron Fist Entertainment Company was enough.
He was really out of money last time, and thought of letting Lin Rui help him implant a top-tier Model 7 War God nanofighting enhancement device in the protector demon of Tianji Star, before he grudgingly agreed to it.
Fei Yunlai had decided to do it just once and then call it quits, but he had never expected that the official mercenary business inside the Earth Federation would be so difficult.
Invincible Niu (Fei Yunlai): Boss, do you have any business for me?

He also sent a smiling face emoji.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Come to the secret base to discuss in person, and remember to bring all your equipment.
Fei Yunlai pondered for a moment, then returned to his room, put on his full set of equipment, and quietly slipped out the door to Lin Rui's secret base.
At this moment, Lin Rui was trying on a set of exoskeleton armor.
It was the "Sky Dominator" Type 7 mass-production model that had been stripped from Wang Li of the Iron Fist Entertainment Company last time.
Lin Rui had found a skilled mechanic on the dark web to repair the damaged areas of this exoskeleton armor.
However, the capabilities of this armor were far from those of the original version.
Lin Rui had intentionally asked the mechanic to lower the performance specifications of this armor.
After all, he only possessed a fourth realm Golden Core, and even with an SSS+ level "Emperor Dial" implanted, wearing the "Sky Dominator" Type 7 still put a lot of pressure on him.
Now it was just right. The capabilities of this exoskeleton armor were stronger than those of the Type 6, its situational awareness was maintained at the level of Type 7, and its defense had not decreased by much, except for a weak spot at the neck joint.
Next were two "Lifeline" Type 6s.
Lin Rui had several Type 6 firearms, all modified by experts, but after comparison, he found Horn's "Lifeline" Type 6 to be more effective.
Luckily, Horn hadn't used these two guns when he was being hunted, so neither the Federal Security Bureau nor the police had ballistic records of them.
For the combat knife, he chose Wang Li's "Bright King" Type 6 knife, a guy more skilled in boxing yet possessing an excellent blade of the Light series.
Lin Rui also replaced two sets of powerful Type 6 rune flying needles. Aside from lacking a good flying sword, he had completely changed his equipment.
He was still very cautious about his life, and this month of restraint was for the sake of implanting the Golden Core and wearing this set of equipment.
After Fei Yunlai arrived, he glanced at Lin Xi and Wang Sen beside him, then began to review the mission data Lin Xi had sent him.
After finishing, he was very anxious, "How should I put it, your mission is indeed very shady!"
The expected course of the mission was even 'darker' than those on the dark web.
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui laughed as he continued practicing with his knife to find the right feel, "We're dealing directly, so we won't leave any traces on the dark web. If you choose a commission, I can directly pay you the magic silver on Tianji Star for your alter ego, saving you the hassle of laundering the money. By the way, are you choosing a commission this time, or a split?"
Fei Yunlai hesitated upon hearing this, then suddenly gritted his teeth, "Commission!"
Those several hundred gang members, all suffering from Prosthetic Syndrome and involved in heavy capital smuggling business, how much cash could they possibly have in their hands?
No, he hadn't even agreed to take on this mission yet!
Fei Yunlai frowned deeply, "The problem is the nearby armed police force, about 500 meters away, there's a battalion of armed police, a heavy battalion at that. The mission plan you've devised is impossible to execute."
Lin Rui smiled and exchanged glances with Wang Sen and Lin Xi.
"Don't worry about that. It's unlikely they will alert the police!" Lin Rui looked at the backend of the Federal Security Bureau's webpage, "Besides, this afternoon at 5 PM, this battalion of armed police will move to the Xingang District to change guard with another troop there. The only thing we need to worry about are the gangs from the surrounding Sixth Street, who are much stronger than the Blood Lizard Gang, much stronger indeed."
Fei Yunlai was greatly shaken, wondering where Lin Rui had gotten his information from.
