It didn't take long before the medicinal materials were prepared.

The medicinal materials cost 9.8 million star coins, but the quantity is not very large due to the high unit price.

Even so, it still has a certain weight.

Lin Tao is just a student and he doesn't have a special car to come here.

After a brief pause, Du Wei called over Du Ruiming and, after giving him some instructions, asked him to send Lin Tao back.

This batch of medicinal materials is very expensive. If Lin Tao was snatched away by someone as soon as he left the medicinal materials market, not only Lin Tao, but also their Du Wei medicinal materials store would lose face. Probably no one would dare to purchase goods from Du Wei medicinal materials store in the future.

Step out of the medicinal materials market.

Du Ruiming drove a hovercraft over.

After stuffing all the medicinal materials into the back trunk of the hovercraft, Lin Tao got into the car.

"Lin Tao, where are you taking me?" Du Ruiming looked at Lin Tao through the rearview mirror and asked.

At this time, Du Ruiming no longer had the laughing feeling he had at the beginning, but instead had an extra layer of caution. Not to mention that Lin Tao dared to offend the eight major families, he could even take out 9.8 million without blinking an eye, which was very different from the Lin Tao he knew.

Du Ruiming estimated that Lin Tao must have joined some powerful force.

He didn't want to get involved.

Seeing Du Ruiming's expression, Lin Tao's heart became clear, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Du Ruiming, am I that scary?"

Du Ruiming groaned. How could Lin Tao be scary? They were in the same college and department, and had been classmates for nearly two years. They could maintain a normal relationship no matter what.

But now Lin Tao has not only offended the eight major families, but there is also a hidden mysterious force behind him. Otherwise, how could he keep his distance?

Lin Tao smiled calmly and told the address of the rental house without any concern.

Du Ruiming was obviously stunned for a moment. This was the address of a slum.

"Lin Tao, this batch of medicinal materials will not be delivered to where you live, right?" Du Ruiming suddenly had an idea and his face became strange.

Du Ruiming knew a lot about Lin Tao, so he naturally knew where Lin Tao lived. In his mind, this batch of medicinal materials should be sent directly to the location of that mysterious force.

Lin Tao nodded.

Du Ruiming frowned. It seemed that Lin Tao did not intend to reveal the power behind him. But that was just fine since he had no intention of getting involved anyway.

"Ruiming, can we still buy a crusher and a refiner at this time?" Lin Tao suddenly asked.

To process medicinal materials, they need to be crushed first and then refined. These things cannot be done directly by hand. Now it is almost dusk, and Lin Tao really doesn't know where to purchase these instruments.

"Crusher and refiner?" Du Ruiming was startled. Could it be that the power behind Lin Tao didn't even have the basic equipment to process medicinal materials? But then he thought again, Lin Tao could transfer 9.8 million star coins at once without hesitation, and he immediately threw this idea out of his mind.

9.8 million star coins, almost close to ten million.

Given Lin Tao's situation, it is impossible for him to come up with such a huge sum of money on his own.

There must be a mysterious force behind this.

But why does Lin Tao plan to buy more crushers and refiners?

Could it be that...

Du Ruiming's heart trembled for no reason, and he suddenly raised his head: "Lin Tao, do you want to rob your fellow thieves?"

In his opinion, although the medicinal materials worth 9.8 million star coins are extremely valuable, due to the high unit price, this batch of medicinal materials is at most about 30 kilograms. This amount can be easily refined by any force. And if Lin Tao wants to buy a crusher and a refiner, there is only one possibility -

Black eats black! Lin Tao wants to take this batch of medicinal materials from that mysterious force alone.

Could this be the reason why Lin Tao dared to challenge the Davis family, one of the eight wealthy families?

However, if Lin Tao really wanted to do this, why didn't he just swallow the 10 million star coins by himself? Why bother to purchase medicinal materials? In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Du Ruiming's mind, and he became confused.

"What do you mean by black eating black?" Lin Tao frowned slightly.

"Lin Tao, where did you get all this money?" Du Ruiming finally couldn't help but ask.

As a classmate, he didn't want to see Lin Tao go astray. Moreover, Lin Tao also had a good accomplishment in mecha parts. If he put more thought into it, plus the recommendation card from Gu Lei, he would definitely be able to stand out in the mecha design department. With this talent, there would be no mecha companies competing to recruit him. Why would he ruin his future for a mere 10 million star coins?

"I won it in the mecha gambling fight." Lin Tao said nonchalantly.

"What?" Du Ruiming was shocked. "Mecha gambling? How is this possible? Lin Tao, how can you afford to go to Skynet for training?"

A simulation cabin would cost at least tens of millions. To put it another way, even if you go to the cheapest mecha center, it would still cost a lot. Mecha combat is something that cannot be mastered in a day or two.

To win money in mecha gambling, unless you have super skills, it is just like entering a casino. The money you invest will not even make a sound.

Just like the stock market, only those who can hear the noise are those who are close to you.

What's more, what Lin Tao won was not just tens of thousands, but nearly ten million star coins!

Even a mecha master with a formal license would not dare to say that he has won tens of millions of star coins in mecha gambling.

Moreover, Du Ruiming didn't dare to say that he fully understood Lin Tao, but he roughly knew some of the situation. Given Lin Tao's situation, he definitely couldn't come up with hundreds of thousands of star coins at once.

"Chi Zhengfei and the others took me there." Lin Tao smiled. "I didn't expect that someone there would give me money desperately. I received more than 20 million. If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to earn this money, I think it would still be possible to win 30 or 40 million."

Lin Tao sighed. 'L-ZC' finally planned to fight one more time. If he accepted the challenge, he could earn another 7 million after deducting Skynet's handling fee.

"Chi Zhengfei? Thirty... thirty or forty million?" Du Ruiming was dumbfounded.

But when he thought about how Lin Tao could easily take out 9.8 million, he couldn't help but choose to believe it. After a while, he asked suspiciously: "Lin Tao, could it be that the other party got the wrong person?"

"Oh?" Lin Tao also felt strange, and then he remembered that all the accounts for sending money had the prefix 'L'.

'L'? 'L'Liu Zhengchen? Lin Tao was startled.

Could it be that the person they sent the money to was Liu Zhengchen? "I see."

Thinking of this, Lin Tao finally understood. Those people must have mistaken him for Liu Zhengchen. No wonder they stood still and let him go to reap the rewards and the gambling money.

But, in this case, who is the 'L-ZC' that appeared at the end? Could it be Liu Zhengchen himself? Lin Tao was puzzled.

But when he thought about the other party's mecha body, there was no resistance after being hit, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes again. Liu Zhengchen is also a famous mecha master who will be recorded in the future. How could he face the attack without any sign of resistance?

Moreover, when the opponent's body was still able to move, he chose to quit directly like a novice.

This behavior is not at all like that of a genius-level mecha master.

If Liu Zhengchen knew what Lin Tao was thinking at this moment, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood, because he did not expect that 'L', who had been harvesting gambling gold, actually had a terrifying mecha reaction speed, otherwise, he would not be careless. As for choosing to quit, he just wanted to play a serious game again.

However, for Lin Tao, the money has been obtained and he can solve his physical illness in advance. It doesn’t matter whether the other party misunderstands him as Liu Zhengchen or not.

"Ruiming, help me see if we can still find a crusher and a refiner at this time?" Lin Tao asked again.

Du Ruiming was still wondering why Chi Zhengfei took Lin Tao to the Mecha Center. When he heard Lin Tao's words, he couldn't help but raise his hand to check the time.

It was almost dusk, and the few shops in the herbal medicine market that specialized in selling herbal medicine instruments had already closed.

Fortunately, as someone who has been in the medicinal materials market for a long time, Du Ruiming still has a solution. He thought for a while and said, "Lin Tao, you didn't buy many medicinal materials this time. Small medicinal materials instruments can still be used. Our store has just eliminated a batch of tools. Although the models are relatively old, they can still be used to process this batch of medicinal materials."

For some reason, Du Ruiming chose to believe Lin Tao.

"Okay." Lin Tao nodded. As long as he could carry out the refining, there would be no big problem.

Du Ruiming left for less than a moment and returned with two wooden boxes. He put them down in the back seat and said, "Lin Tao, there's no room in the back, so we can only put them here. If you feel like there aren't enough seats, you can sit in the front."

After the box was put down, the back of the car pressed down a little, as if the box was quite heavy.

Du Ruiming got in the car, started the engine, and rushed towards the address Lin Tao gave.

Little did they know.

Just as Lin Tao walked out of the medicinal materials market, a hovercraft was parked on the roadside not far away. Inside the car were Davis Duson and Xin Ya, who had been keeping her head down and looked obviously depressed.

Through the car window, Davis Duson had a gloomy face and was staring at the car where Lin Tao was.

Seeing Du Ruiming appear with two wooden boxes in his arms, he narrowed his eyes and immediately shot out two sharp rays of light: "Could it be that the people in Du Wei's herbal medicine store are also related to the forces behind that poor boy?"

After Du Ruiming drove away, he quickly asked the driver in front to follow closely.

"Du Sen, do you think the information about our genetic drug research has been stolen by outsiders?" Xin Ya suddenly asked as if talking to herself.

Davis Duson's eyes turned cold. The genetic medicine that Xinya was researching was an important technology that the entire Davis family was paying attention to. If it could be successfully developed, this genetic medicine would greatly strengthen the human body. In this way, their Davis family would have super soldiers with extremely powerful personal strength.

In the entire Interstellar Federation, the research on this kind of genetic medicine does not exceed three pharmacy laboratories, but Xinya is the one who is at the forefront among these three pharmacy laboratories and is on the verge of success.

It is for this reason that the Davis family invested huge sums of money in it after learning the news.

If Xinya's research results were stolen by other pharmacies, Davis Dusen couldn't imagine what a blow it would be to the entire Davis family.

But Davis Duson believed that if the Davis family could find out the power behind the other party, they would definitely take unimaginable crazy revenge on them.

Beep! At this moment, Davis Duson's watch began to beep rapidly.

Davis Duson clicked on the communication in confusion.

"Du Sen, come to Honglin Hotel, I'll wait for you here."

A dejected voice came from the watch.

Davis was stunned when he heard the voice, then frowned: "Liu Zhengchen, why did you come to Anzheng City? And what's wrong with your voice?"

The person on the other end of the communication was Liu Zhengchen, who had left Zhengwei Mecha Center for quite some time. At this moment, he was in a very bad mood.

As soon as he finished speaking, Davis Duson suddenly looked up at the car in front of him where Lin Tao was, his expression changed slightly. The timing of Liu Zhengchen's appearance was too abrupt.

Thinking of this, Davis Duson considered for a moment, then asked the driver to change direction and drive towards Honglin Hotel.

As for Lin Tao, after his photos were sent back via his watch, they were handed over to his subordinates for investigation.
