However, since the other party left and no longer showed up, Lin Tao felt relieved.
The opponent is the Davis family, one of the eight great families. If they use their force, he will not be able to resist it with his body that has not yet been strengthened.
"That should be Davis's people, right?" Du Ruiming was also paying attention to the vehicles behind.
Lin Tao shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing that Lin Tao didn't say anything, Du Ruiming didn't go and make himself look bad.
The hovercraft drove forward for a long distance and made sure that no one was following it. Then Du Ruiming drove carefully towards the rental house.
In fact, there is no need to do so because there are no cars following us from behind.
What's more, Lin Tao's situation was also registered at Hyacinth College. With Davis's power, he only needed to conduct a brief investigation to find out where he lived.
Du Ruiming is a good driver and it didn’t take long for him to reach Lin Tao’s rental house.
"Ruiming, you can help too."
Lin Tao moved the two boxes and found that he couldn't exert any strength with his current physical condition, so he had to call Du Ruiming.
Du Ruiming rolled his eyes, picked up the two boxes, and deliberately bulged his arm muscles.
Lin Tao looked at the two bulging muscles between his arms and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.
"Have you always lived here?"
After entering the rental house and putting down the box, Du Ruiming looked around and frowned.
Lin Tao's rental house is not big, only about ten square meters, with a double-decker iron bed on one side. Not to mention a kitchen, there is not even a toilet. For Du Ruiming, a place of this size is not even as big as the Labrador's nest at home.
"Just put the things on the ground." Lin Tao gestured.
After putting down the box, Du Ruiming walked outside again. He was not very confident about the precious medicinal materials in the trunk of the car.
When he entered the rental house again, Lin Tao had already opened the two wooden boxes and taken out the instruments inside.
"Aren't you out of strength?" Du Ruiming rolled his eyes after putting down the herbs.
"Ruiming, do you have any urgent matters tomorrow?" Lin Tao ignored his words and changed the subject.
"Tomorrow? I have to go to school tomorrow." Du Ruiming said.
Going to school? Lin Tao didn't care much about it. In the future, he relied on his photographic memory to basically finish the four or five years of mecha academy life in a year or so, so the academy life was dispensable to him.
At present, the structure of mechas is very different from that of later generations, but Lin Tao believes that if he is given a little time, he will be able to quickly master all the mecha knowledge of this period.
As for Du Ruiming's studies, as long as Lin Tao likes it and occasionally imparts a little experience to him, it will be enough for him to make a name for himself.
"You stay here and help tonight." Lin Tao said.
"Help?" Du Ruiming was startled, then he looked around the rental house again and his eyes fell on the herbs: "Lin Tao, you don't want me to help you deal with these herbs, do you?"
"Yeah." Lin Tao nodded: "With my ability alone, I don't think I can finish it in one night."
Lin Tao was in a hurry. He needed to strengthen his body before the Davis family found his residence. Otherwise, he would be like a target, with no power to resist and could only be bullied.
Moreover, Lin Tao was quite satisfied with Du Ruiming and didn't mind taking him for a walk now.
In two years, the Eight Great Families incident will occur in the Interstellar Federation, which will lead to a major war. If you do not have strong strength, even your life will be in danger at that time.
"This..." Du Ruiming was dumbfounded and stood there.
Without waiting for his reply, Lin Tao immediately opened the medicinal material grinder and stuffed a handful of expensive Tianxing grass into it.
"Lin Tao, this is such a waste." Du Ruiming screamed when he saw it.
One ounce of Tianxing grass costs 2,000 star coins, and the handful Lin Tao had was at least half a pound. In other words, the Tianxing grass that Lin Tao stuffed into the medicinal material grinder was worth at least over 100,000 star coins.
When handling medicinal materials, everyone has to be very careful, handling them one handful at a time. Du Ruiming's eyes twitched when he saw this.
"Can you refine it?" Lin Tao asked.
If you want to extract medicinal materials, you must crush them. With current instruments, it is estimated that the quality of the extracted extract will be greatly reduced, far less than the result calculated theoretically. Of course, if you have certain technology and professional techniques, you may be able to successfully extract more extract.
This is the basis for preparing genetic medicines.
Du Ruiming shook his head repeatedly. Although he had been staying in the herbal medicine store, he was still a student of the mecha maintenance department after all. How could he have the free time to learn herbal medicine extraction, which was the major of students in the pharmaceutical department.
"Then you come over and crush it, and I'll refine it." Lin Tao said, pulling Du Ruiming to the medicinal material crusher.
Du Ruiming had no choice but to sigh and start operating.
After a short while, the Tianxing Grass worth 300,000 star coins turned into powder in Du Ruiming's hands.
Looking at this pile of powder of astonishing value, Du Ruiming felt terrified, but at the same time inexplicably excited, because although his family ran a herbal medicine store, he had never been so extravagant and wasteful as he was doing now.
Lin Tao took out the powder and poured it into a large basin. Then he put the remaining herbs next to him: "Ruiming, work harder. We must finish processing them all tonight."
Du Ruiming swallowed his saliva. Consuming medicinal materials worth nearly 10 million star coins in one night was much more exciting than going to KTV and wasting money on those girls.
In an instant, Du Ruiming's adrenaline burst into excitement. He grabbed a handful of brown flowers with one hand and stuffed them into the crusher.
As for the old man's repeated warnings before he left, asking him to have less contact with Lin Tao, he had long forgotten them.
Miser! He was unwilling to pay more for studying mecha design, Du Ruiming curled his lips secretly.
Anzheng City, Honglin Hotel.
This hotel is a contact point set up by the Davis family on Mingyuan Star, and is usually used to host cocktail parties for local wealthy people.
At this time, the hotel was brightly lit, and in the extremely elegantly laid out lobby, there was only a huge luxurious table.
On one side of the table was Liu Zhengchen, who had been drinking alone.
Davis Duson brought Xinya over and sat directly opposite Liu Zhengchen.
"Liu Zhengchen, why are you here in Anzheng City instead of at the First Mecha Academy?" Davis Dusen narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Zhengchen who was drinking alone.
On the side, Xin Ya also glanced over, seeming dissatisfied with Liu Zhengchen.
Along the way, after receiving the call from Liu Zhengchen, she had guessed about Lin Tao's background more than once. After all, how could Lin Tao, a student of Hyacinth College, come up with nearly 10 million star coins at once? There must be a huge force behind him, and this force is most likely related to the Liu family.
Therefore, Xin Ya looked at Liu Zhengchen with a bad look.
Feeling the dissatisfaction in their words and eyes, Liu Zhengchen was stunned: "What's wrong with you?"
"Liu Zhengchen, how do you explain what happened today?" Davis Dusen asked sternly.
Explanation? Liu Zhengchen smiled bitterly. He was severely scolded by someone at the Zhengwei Mecha Center today. Explanation? He should be the one to find someone to explain.
Moreover, Liu Zhengchen only wanted to find Davis Dusen for one thing, which was to know when that person came to Anzheng City.
"Du Sen, you have been in Anzheng City for a while. Tell me, when did Liu Zhenglin come to Anzheng City?" Liu Zhengchen gritted his teeth and stated his purpose directly.
"Liu Zhenglin is here?" Davis Dusen's expression suddenly changed.
The Liu family has three great mecha geniuses: Liu Zhengchen, Liu Zhenglin, and Liu Zhengxi. Among them, Liu Zhengchen is the strongest, but when it comes to mecha operation alone, Liu Zhenglin is the most terrifying.
This is because Liu Zhenglin not only has extraordinary strength himself, but also has amazing comprehension ability. He can learn the opponent's body movements in a short period of time and even perform them more easily than the creator of the body movements.
If this person grows up, it is estimated that the entire Davis family will not be able to find a mecha master who can match him.
When did this guy come to Anzheng City?
Davis Duson's eyes were filled with shock.
"What? Even you don't know about this?" Liu Zhengchen's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light.
Davis Dusen shook his head: "Liu Zhengchen, if Liu Zhenglin came to Anzheng City, I would have heard some news."
Bang! Liu Zhengchen slammed the table hard. Even the Davis family didn't get wind of it. This guy is so sneaky! 'L' is not only the first letter of Liu in Pinyin, but also the first letter of Lin in Pinyin. Just one 'L', plus the perfect use of the arc step, Liu Zhengchen can be sure that the 'L' in the Zhengwei Mecha Center is definitely Liu Zhenglin! "What?" Davis Dusen asked back.
Huh! After a long sigh, Liu Zhengchen looked aggrieved and mentioned the matter of Zhengwei Mecha Center. Although he was a member of the Liu family, in terms of strategy, Liu Zhengchen and the Davis family were on the same front.
Because neither of them wants to see Liu Zhenglin's rise.
"So, what happened in the medicinal materials market today has nothing to do with you?" Davis Dusen narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that Liu Zhengchen was puzzled, he told him everything that happened in the medicinal materials market today.
"Could it be that the power that guy relies on is Liu Zhenglin?" Xin Ya, who had been silent all this time, frowned and asked after hearing this.
Hearing this, Liu Zhengchen drank the liquor in the glass in one gulp.
"Xinya, you go back first. Zhengchen and I have something to discuss." Davis Duson glanced at her and suddenly smiled.
Xinya sighed secretly. Davis Duson had brought her to see Liu Zhengchen, which was already an accidental disclosure of some of Davis family's secrets. How could he let her participate in the subsequent events?
Because Xinya is just a beneficiary of the Davis family and not a real member of the Davis family.
