Little did they know, this person was not ordinary; he had quietly smuggled himself in. It was only because he did not deliberately conceal his movements that the people of Academician Zheng were able to track him down. However, by the time they followed his trail, they discovered that he had become embroiled in a case involving the trafficking of genius youths across the stars.
It was not easy for the Yunmeng Special Police to crack the case and bring him to the Special Police Headquarters, where Academician Zheng eagerly came to retrieve him. As a senior genius mecha manufacturer, Maris carried with him the arrogance typical of high-level researchers and had no intention of associating with a lowly research institute.
Academician Zheng was no fool; he understood Maris's mindset. Just then, he encountered Lin Yao, who was also present. He subtly found an entry point: "Lin Yao, since you're here too, I wanted to let you know that the Level Ten Beast bones you reported have been cleared out and transported to the First Research Institute. Would you like to take a look and handle your share while you're at it?"
"What Level Ten Beast bones?" Maris's interest was instantly piqued. Even intermediate and advanced beasts were not easy to obtain, let alone a Level Ten one.
"It's a type of dragon," Academician Zheng said, trying his best to tempt him without being obvious. "Would you like to take a look together?"
Maris nodded modestly. "Well, since Lin Yao is going, I’ll accompany her."
Lin Yao watched as the two men seemed to use her as an excuse, her lips twitching slightly.
The three of them took Academician Zheng's special vehicle all the way to the First Research Institute. As soon as Lin Yao stepped through the door, an announcement came through.
"Signing in at [First Research Institute]. Would you like to spend your sign-in point?"
It was not easy to encounter a green sign-in point. Without thinking twice, Lin Yao chose to sign in.
"Sign-in successful. You have received Zheng Zhong's work manuscript (complete version)."
Surrounded by people, Lin Yao dared not look around and could only maintain a calm expression as she followed them deeper inside.
When they reached the area where the Level Ten Beast bones were stored, Lin Yao saw the completely assembled skeleton of the beast. Although she had already gleaned some information about its general form from fragments of memories related to the White-scaled Dragon, seeing such a massive and imposing complete skeleton in person still left her in awe.
Even Su Rui gasped in astonishment. "This... how did you obtain such a complete beast skeleton?"
The cost for their intermediate-level Ruylan team to acquire an advanced beast would be substantial; he could hardly believe that someone from a lower level could so easily obtain a complete advanced beast skeleton.
"We found it," Lin Yao replied simply.
"Found it? How did you find it?" Su Rui was baffled.
Lin Yao discreetly shared with him the fortunate discovery of the exotic beast bones.
Su Rui listened, filled with jealousy. "How can you be so lucky to find the remains of a Level Ten exotic beast?"
Lin Yao shrugged, choosing not to respond.
With the Level Ten beast bones right before them, Su Rui couldn't afford to dwell on jealousy; he stepped closer, engrossed in studying them meticulously.
While the two of them were absorbed in their research, Lin Yao dealt with the allocation of the exotic beast bones. The person handling this for her was the head of the Materials Management Department at the First Research Institute.
At that moment, the head was verifying the numbers with her.
"There are a total of thirty-five thousand pounds of these Level Ten beast bones. According to the regulations of Yunmeng Star, as the discoverer, you are entitled to five percent of the share, which amounts to one thousand seven hundred fifty pounds."
Lin Yao nodded in agreement.
"That’s correct," she said. "However, I must inform you that these Level Ten beast bones are extremely valuable, and we cannot provide you with that much."
Hearing this, Lin Yao furrowed her brows. "What do you mean by that?"
"We can give you a maximum of fifty pounds of beast bones," the head of the Materials Management Department said, extending one hand palm up.
"Fifty pounds?" Lin Yao was nearly laughing in anger. "I’m entitled to one thousand seven hundred fifty pounds of exotic beast bones, and you’re offering me just a fraction?"
"The remaining one thousand seven hundred pounds won’t be kept for ourselves; we will convert it into star coins for you. This is also for your own good. As a student, having so many valuable beast bones is too dangerous; it's better to settle it in star coins. Besides, having such expensive materials for research will surely elevate our technological level here on Yunmeng Star."
"Isn't thirty-five thousand pounds enough for your research?" Lin Yao's patience was wearing thin.
"Research materials are always better in abundance," he replied dismissively.
"And what if I refuse?"
The head's smile vanished immediately, replaced by an arrogant expression. "Lin Yao, I think you've misunderstood. You have your share, but we can only give you fifty pounds. This is non-negotiable!"
Seeing his lack of sincerity and dismissive attitude, Lin Yao turned on her heel and left.
When Su Rui noticed Lin Yao returning angrily after receiving her allocation, he was puzzled. "What happened?"
Lin Yao shook her head and approached Academician Zheng. "Academician, the head of your Materials Management Department only allowed me to take fifty pounds of beast bones as my share. Is this a decision made by the First Research Institute?"
Academician Zheng looked up in surprise.
He pondered for a moment before glancing at his assistant. "Is this true?"
The assistant shook his head, "I haven't heard of this matter."
"Is this something the head of the Materials Management Department did privately?" Lin Yao's expression turned slightly cold.
Su Rui, overhearing this, scoffed from the side, "And this is the First Research Institute? Have they fallen so low that they still covet a share of academic resources? They really have no shame!"
Academician Zheng's face showed signs of discomfort; there are bound to be some parasites everywhere. "But Lin Yao, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can embezzle your materials."
"That's right!"
Academician Zheng couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly took his assistant away to deal with the situation.
Once everyone had left, Su Rui slyly leaned closer to Lin Yao and said, "Lin Yao, I spoke up for you. Now that you've secured that beast bone share, can you give me a little?"
"How much do you want? You still owe him a huge debt," Lin Yao replied, feeling a bit awkward about refusing.
"How about this? For the mech you lent me, if you cooperate with my research, I can upgrade it specifically for you and integrate some Level Ten beast bones into it. By then, your mech will not only be invincible at the beginner level but will also hold its own at the intermediate level. All you need to do is give me the remaining beast bones, and we’ll be even."
The mech Su Rui lent her was quite expensive, and he was offering to enhance it specifically for her. Lin Yao felt that the value was quite high.
"Okay, but I have one more request."
"What is it?"
"I hope that when I turn ten, you can help me with another targeted upgrade!"
