Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3904 - 3923: Sword Bone

After arranging a time to visit with Ning Xiuzhu, Lin Chen hung up the phone.

Tomorrow was just the weekend, Lin Chen and the others were still on holiday, so they had time.

Lin Chen just lifted his head and saw Luo Zheng staring at him in shock.

Lin Chen had just taken the call on speaker mode, so Luo Zheng and the others heard the conversation.

"The Science Council! I just mentioned them, and they actually contacted you?"

Lin Chen said with a wry smile, "I don’t know what’s going on, but I think the Warrior Center might have forwarded our report to Dr. Ning?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Luo Zheng asked puzzled, "I’ve seen your report, and although the data is indeed very good, it shouldn’t catch the attention of people from the Science Council. Besides, aren’t those two in similar situations?"

Lin Chen had the same question in his heart; he naturally couldn’t answer this question.

Yao Xuanji furrowed his brows and said, "Could it be that Brother Chen has something special about him that caught their attention, and they want to use Lin Chen’s body for research?"

Lin Chen laughed carefreely, "Even if that’s the case, there’s nothing to be done about it. If they only want to research, I can offer my flesh if needed, and blood if required. They surely wouldn’t kill me, right?"

Luo Zheng reassured him, "Even if there’s something special about your body, and they want to study it, at most they’ll just take samples. They have all sorts of restorative fluids; it shouldn’t endanger your life."

Lin Chen laughed, "If that’s the case, I hope my value is significant. Perhaps I might get some benefits in return."

Luo Zheng said seriously, "The best choice I mentioned earlier is the Science Council. Although those scientists can be zealous in their research, most are quite reasonable except for a few madmen."

"If they want your assistance and you negotiate with them, they will likely agree within their capacity."

"The three major families are the worst option because their inherent value measure is utilitarian. Even if you have value, their goal would be to exploit it for more return. So even if they help you deal with Zhang Zhongjiu, some new constraints may follow."

Lin Chen laughed, "What about the City Lord?"

Luo Zheng laughed, "The City Lord is hard to predict because she’s an individual. Her thoughts are her own; anything is possible."

Lin Chen nodded, "Then wish me luck."

Luo Zheng raised his glass and laughed, "Wishing you a quick return to freedom."

"Cheers!"

After eating and drinking to their fill, the three bid farewell to Luo Zheng.

"If my visit tomorrow goes well, I’ll treat you to a drink."

"Alright!"

The three returned to the production base, only to find that the other four hadn’t returned, unsure if they were out having fun or trying to find a way.

Lin Chen wouldn’t underestimate these people. Although they weren’t Heaven Deities, their abilities were substantial.

Currently, they all wore Black Rings on their necks, and with their strength restricted, everyone was in the same boat. But in terms of pill refining, equipment crafting, and talismans, none of them were inferior to Lin Chen.

Even their appearances, each with their distinct style—handsome or wild—weren’t inferior to Lin Chen either. Their chances with wealthy patrons weren’t lower than Lin Chen’s.

"Never mind them, let’s check out some information about this Science Council and get familiar with it."

Since they were visiting tomorrow, cramming for knowledge was better than being completely unprepared.

The second day, Lin Chen and the other two set out to Jinghai City’s Science Council.

Before leaving, Lin Chen noticed that the four still hadn’t returned.

Where did they go?

Were they really that wild?

The three arrived at the Science Council’s entrance at the agreed time.

Lin Chen looked at the not-so-tall building in front of him with a puzzled gaze.

Wasn’t the Science Council supposed to be impressive?

Why is their office so small?

Lin Chen dialed Ning Xiuzhu’s phone, and soon, a man in his thirties with glasses came out to welcome them in.

"I am Dr. Ning’s assistant, my name is Xu Xin. Please, the three of you, follow me."

The three followed Xu Xin into the building, and Xu Xin swiped his card to use the elevator, pressing a button.

Lin Chen froze, realizing the elevator wasn’t going up but down!

Lin Chen suddenly grasped that the Science Council was underground!

The elevator descended at least a hundred meters. When the doors opened, there was a bright view ahead, almost like daylight.

Lin Chen and the others followed Xu Xin through the wide corridor. On either side were many rooms, each bustling with people in work attire.

Xu Xin led the three into an office where a refined man in his mid-forties was concentrating on a picture.

Seeing them enter, the refined man put down the picture, his eyes scanning the three and settling on Lin Chen.

"Please sit."

The refined man smiled, "I’m Ning Xiuzhu. It’s a bother for you three to come all this way."

Lin Chen and the other two each pulled a chair to sit. Lin Chen politely asked, "Dr. Ning, I’m curious. Although the parameters of my examination report are quite good, they shouldn’t particularly interest you, right?"

Ning Xiuzhu smiled, "The examination report you received wasn’t the complete version."

Lin Chen was slightly startled, "My examination report has issues?"

Ning Xiuzhu laughed, "The check-up you booked at the Warrior Center was a standard one, with 36 items and took about twenty minutes..."

Lin Chen blinked, seemingly realizing something, "My check-up should have taken more than twenty minutes."

"Exactly."

Ning Xiuzhu explained with a smile, "Because during your check-up, they discovered anomalies in your bones, leading to a comprehensive exam, including your two companions as well."

Anomalies in the bones?

Lin Chen suddenly somewhat understood why they sought him out and weren’t interested in similar Heaven Deities like Yao Xuanji and Lan Shuiying.

"Dr. Ning sought me because of my peculiar bones?"

Ning Xiuzhu smiled, "Yes, can you tell me how you got such unique bones?"

Lin Chen pondered for several seconds, sensing it might not be the best time to haggle.

"Every bone in my body has been tempered. To simplify, I used special methods to refine my bones into a Magical Treasure. Each bone is a sword, which I call Sword Bone!"

Ning Xiuzhu asked with interest, "Sword Bone, that’s an innovative term. Since it’s a refinement, it means it’s not a mutation. As long as others acquire the technique, they too can become like you?"

Lin Chen nodded, "They can become like a Sword Bone, but as for the strength, that’s uncertain..."
