Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Not long ago, he led the war against the Light God Sect, securing four base districts consecutively for the Light King Sect.

Lin Rui, acknowledging his merits, not only appointed him as Director of the Armed Fleet the day before yesterday but also granted him some equity incentives.

This left Zhu Youheng a bit bewildered.

The fleet under Lin Rui's command was almost comparable in scale to the Third Squadron of the Second Fleet Group where Zhu Youheng had served as Vice Admiral.

It is said that in the near future, the fleet will continue to expand. Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals' tax revenue is quite high, and with over a dozen improved drugs being launched into the market one after another, Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals' monthly sales first dipped slightly after the heat from the Martial Arts Tournament subsided, reaching 700 billion federal coins, but then climbed back up to 900 billion federal coins this month.

According to Federation law, Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals has the right to organize a larger National Guard fleet within the National Guard sequence to protect its commercial interests.

This career prospect looks quite promising, doesn't it? Not inferior to serving in the Star Navy.

Zhu Youheng also received shares in the Forest Freight Company, worth nearly 10 billion federal coins by estimation. However, as the company expands further and he contributes more achievements to it, he could acquire more shares.

According to the contract, the BOSS might even allow him, the Armed Fleet Director, to own up to 1% of the shares.

Therefore, Zhu Youheng found himself in internal conflict. The reason he joined Lin Rui's ranks was to investigate evidence of Lin Rui's crimes—not to actually serve under Lin Rui as a subordinate, working like a laborer or servant.

His heart was filled with patriotism, yet now he had begun to think that working hard as a laborer might not be so bad, making Zhu Youheng deeply uneasy.

However, based on his observations during the half-year he had spent at the Forest Group, this BOSS seemed to be quite upstanding—not only offering generous salaries and equity incentives but also heavily involved in large-scale charitable activities. Reportedly, Lin Rui donated up to 20 billion federal coins last month alone, and it wasn't even for tax avoidance.

Zhu Youheng could hardly believe that this person was the same ruthless "Children's Song Killer."

In any case, up to this point, Zhu Youheng had yet to uncover any evidence that could directly implicate Lin Rui. The judicial battle surrounding the "Children's Song Killer" continued, as the Federation Ministry of Justice still couldn't present sufficient proof to convince the public.

Even the war against the Light God Sect was a counter-offensive operation. Lin Rui even obtained permits from both the Religious Committee and the Security Committee of the government, allowing him to cooperate in eradicating the Light God Sect organization.

What feels surreal is that under Lin Rui's leadership, the Light King Sect has started paying taxes to the Federation. Additionally, after the Light King Sect initiated its religious wars, nearly 4 million followers gained legal status, becoming taxable entities for the Revenue Bureau.

Thus, even the Earth Federation's tax system began to favor the Light King Sect, granting them conveniences multiple times during the war, even mobilizing tax police to assist them.

Zhu Youheng didn't mind this turn of events. The previous Light God Sect had indeed turned into something akin to a cult. Most of the Priests were involved in despicable acts, treating their followers like livestock, exploiting them ruthlessly.

Lin Rui was far better. At the very least, he was working hard to provide them with jobs, ensure they were well-fed, and improve their living conditions.

Thus, this "Supreme" figure held significant prestige within the Light King Sect. Recently, there had even been speculation that the new "King Ming" of Sky Extreme Star's Light God Sect might be an alien version of this "Supreme."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youheng recalled an espionage incident within the Light King Sect a few days ago.

Reportedly, these spies aimed to investigate why the "Supreme" was able to gain the recognition of several "Heart of Light" devices, and what connection Lin Rui might have with this "King Ming."

The spies failed to approach "Heart of Light No. 9," so the ensuing commotion was minor—but it certainly caught Zhu Youheng's attention.

"Director Zhu?" Lin Rui noticed his dazed expression and curiously asked, "Is there something troubling you?"

Zhu Youheng snapped out of his reverie and immediately replied apologetically: "BOSS, no issues! I will spare no effort to lead this fleet well. Just now—"

Zhu Youheng hesitated briefly but decided to speak: "I was merely curious about BOSS's Rui Fang Armored Biological Research Institute. What's the situation there?"

This was something his superior recently instructed him to investigate.

Zhu Youheng had indeed made some discoveries. Lin Rui's subordinates—Lu Hanyuan, Gong Hengdao, Li Yuehua, and Hou Yuting—had all gone into the Rui Fang Armored Biological Research Institute, stayed for a day or two, and then came out significantly stronger.

Especially Chairman Lu next to him—his cultivation and bloodline abilities likely had progressed to the Ninth Realm Emperor Rank, elevating him to the level of a quasi-member.

In order to facilitate his undercover mission, Zhu Youheng had specifically implanted bloodline abilities related to sensing and identification, allowing him to distinctly detect the changes in these individuals before and after entering the research institute. This mystery intrigued and perplexed him greatly.

Hearing the question, Lin Rui exchanged a smile with Lu Hanyuan, then patted Zhu Youheng on the shoulder: "Keep up the hard work!"

After saying this, Lin Rui headed directly toward the direction of the Rui Fang Armored Biological Research Institute.

Currently, Zhu Youheng had not yet reached the level of merit or rank sufficient to access this upgraded armament-related secret.

Zhu Youheng stood there dazed for a moment.

He suspected that Lin Rui's implication was that his achievements were still insufficient, and his rank wasn't high enough. However, he couldn't help but wonder—if he kept working hard, would he ever have a chance to return to the Federation's Star Navy?

After all, he had now become a director of a fleet equivalent in combat power to a squadron-level fleet—
