Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 283 - 268: The One That Got Away (Subscription Request)
Fei Yunlai’s heart tightened instinctively as he perked up his ears.
This was the reason he no longer wanted to collaborate with Lin Rui.
The Earth Federation had far too much advanced technology, and even if you could perfectly erase all traces, the Security Bureau and the powers of the Federation could still find them through various means.
Big data extrapolation was one of these methods.
This method couldn’t convict them, but what do crime gangs need evidence for? As long as they find the person, they would retaliate.
His and Lin Rui’s characteristics were also very distinctive, one at level 4 and the other at level 7.
Others, by studying their martial arts characteristics and some minor clues, could figure out who they were.
Fei Yunlai specifically glanced at Lin Rui, who was still eating and drinking as if he wasn’t worried at all.
This guy’s psychological quality was truly extraordinary.
"It’s not just the Security Bureau, now several crime syndicates from the ninth base are looking for him too, the underground bounty has reached 10 billion Federation dollars, they pay as soon as they find a suspect."
"A bounty that high? If this project succeeds, your department won’t worry about funds for years to come. So, have you found them? The ’Bao Xiren Big Model’ your team developed has been updated to the seventh generation, right? How’s it working?"
"That’s the problem, the big model found a few targets, but after detailed analysis, they realized it was wrong, we’ve been very troubled recently, the extrapolations keep being incorrect, it’s like looking for a ghost."
"But other universities are the same, we aren’t the only ones working on this project, they haven’t figured out what’s actually going on either."
At this point, Fei Yunlai felt a wave of relief wash over him, he took a deep breath.
Lin Rui, however, had been indifferent from the start.
Big data models are useful, but their effectiveness predicates on having enough data.
You need to know everyone’s age, residential address, family background, martial arts characteristics, social relationships, and so on.
The problem is, the currently available government database contains classified information about him, Lin Xi, and others, rated SSS+, one as X.
Lin Rui even used his access to encrypt Fei Yunlai’s information to SS+.
The big data models from these universities and the Security Bureau are all based on information from the government’s internal data banks.
However, due to access restrictions, these big data models, when encountering related information about them, videos, and so on, would automatically skip them.
It was like fishing with a net full of huge holes—not catching any fish would be no surprise!
This was why Lin Rui dared to act recklessly only after obtaining access rights from the Security Bureau.
"It’s good they couldn’t find them. I actually quite like these nursery rhyme killers; they kill scum, and so far, they haven’t harmed any ordinary people."
"Indeed, in the recent decade, those gangs have become more and more excessive. I have a neighbor whose daughter was forced into drug addiction by them, leading her family to ruin."
"The upper district is still manageable, but the lower world is a real tragedy. Nowadays, many gangs are collaborating with pharmaceutical companies, using illegal immigrants in the lower districts for drug testing. Countless have died, and they’re also testing newly developed implantable devices, producing a whole bunch of patients with implant-induced mental disorders."
"But coming back to it, what’s the deal with these nursery rhyme killers, do they really sing nursery rhymes while killing?"
"Is there any doubt? They sing those extremely obscure songs from thousands of years ago. Besides, no one has heard it firsthand. Although there were a few survivors at the scenes, all were unconscious during the incident. Their smart terminals were forcibly shut down by hackers, so they knew nothing. The nursery rhymes were actually picked up from the surrounding holographic monitors’ data post-event for analysis, but it seems they used a voice-modifying technique, making it impossible to determine their age."

The second Battle Spirit was satisfied after finishing its meal and retracted back into the Battle Spirit Ring.
Lin Rui, with graceful poise, took a napkin and wiped his mouth: "But old Fei, what will you do next? You probably can’t take on any missions for a few months, right?"
He glanced at the synthetic meat on Fei’s plate, thinking this must be the most miserable a Martial Cultivator General has been since the rise of implant martial arts.
Fei Yunlai sighed, realizing he had no choice but to find a major force to join and become a wage worker once again.
Yet, he felt very reluctant, having only recently become independent from the military-run mercenary company to establish his own studio, only to face continuous setbacks.
Poking at his synthetic meat with a fork, Fei Yunlai used his Cultivation Technique to mute his voice, his tone bitter: "The situation on my side isn’t very good, I don’t know if you, Boss, have any work to do?"
He really didn’t want to do business with Lin Rui unless absolutely necessary.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Rui hesitated slightly, "I do have plenty of work on my side, but what I need now is a long-term stable partner, at least for two or three years. It would be best to sign a mercenary contract. Fei Yunlai, taking one job at a time like you do, I end up paying more and it’s unstable.
To tell you the truth, Fei Yunlai, I’ve already found a very reliable Dragon Transformation expert, 6SS, who has a Zhen Dragon Battle Dragon and is willing to work with me long term."
Fei Yunlai’s expression darkened. Was Lin Rui trying to lower his price and lock him in with a contract for a long time?
At this moment, Lin Rui scratched his nose with annoyance, "Actually, I have one task on my side, but it’s the last independent task. Take a look."
After opening the file, Fei Yunlai glanced through it and frowned.
The task was for him to imitate Lin Rui’s crime methods, using the anesthetic provided by Lin Rui, to take down a Tiger Fang gang stronghold, with a mission fee of 60 million Federal dollars.
It was a medium-sized stronghold. As these gangs had begun to disperse their personnel, there were now fewer people, only about 70.
Fei Yunlai pondered that this money could somewhat ease his situation, but what would he do after two months?
Moreover, for this mission, Lin Rui was not participating personally?
What Fei Yunlai cared more about was that the mission was scheduled to start at 3 PM the following day, and during the process, he also had to imitate Lin Rui’s voice to sing.
Fei Yunlai looked at Lin Rui with a skeptical expression, "So, you’re saying that I’m the only one doing this task?"
"Someone will coordinate with you." Lin Rui smiled faintly, pointing to his nose, "As for me, I need to do a live stream. Tianhuan Video Network has set up an event for me, quite a big one."
While the Nursery Rhyme Killer was acting, Lin Rui was live broadcasting in front of 20 million people. So, what connection did this Nursery Rhyme Killer have with him, a martial arts star?
The virtual AI technology in this world was very developed, capable of perfectly simulating real people.
However, martial arts live streaming was different; it couldn’t be done by virtual AI. Moreover, there were people from Tianhuan Video Network at the live-streaming site who could testify for him.
Lin Rui thought that if Ji Xueying’s alternate could be completed sooner, that would be great; her martial attributes and characteristics were very similar to his.
Actually, his sister was more like him, but Lin Xi was not suitable.
Fei Yunlai was momentarily stunned and then understood Lin Rui’s intention.
He was pleased with this, as others couldn’t find the real culprit behind the Nursery Rhyme Killer, so he himself was also safe.
"Okay, I’ll take this mission," Fei Yunlai agreed straightforwardly, "But BOSS, when will this end if you keep going like this, even thinking about doing it for two or three years? You’re bound to go bust sooner or later, BOSS."
As this was a cafeteria with its many prying ears, even though Fei Yunlai moderated his voice so that only Lin Rui could hear, his words were still quite veiled.
"That’s none of your concern now," Lin Rui smiled slightly, "But wouldn’t you consider it, Fei Yunlai? It’s just signing for a few years after all. Your bloodline power should be close to SS rank, right?
Think about it this way. Even if I do go bust, by that time, you’d be of the Emperor class in bloodlines, maybe even breaking into the eighth realm with that money. What consequences would you need to worry about then? Others should be worried about you."
It was actually quite rare for someone like Fei Yunlai.
Most gene-enhanced Martial Cultivators decrease their gene enhancements step by step, thereby reducing their mental burden to advance to higher ranks.
But Fei Yunlai was climbing up step by step, almost entering the Emperor rank now, truly a late bloomer.
Fei Yunlai was surprised by Lin Rui’s words and suddenly felt there was much sense in them.
However, that is if they manage to stay unexposed during these years, and he can earn enough money in this period.
After finishing his meal, Lin Rui left and took a cab to an address in the lower C4 zone of the city.
When he told Fei Yunlai that he had found a 6SS level assistant, he wasn’t just talking.
The comrade of Xue Bogao whom Xue Lingxue had mentioned to him had already arrived at the Ninth City Base, waiting to meet with him.
This person initially might not have believed Xue Lingxue’s words and dragged his feet until he had no other choice but to come to the Ninth City Base with a mind-set that it’s worth a shot in his desperate situation. Find more adventures on novelbuddy
Due to this individual suffering from severe Gene Enhancement Syndrome, he couldn’t enter the Ninth Base City through normal channels and had to smuggle in, so he could only hide in the lower zone.
