The breakthrough Qu Jianlei talked about was not a breakthrough in Qi refining.
Recently, he has been busy hunting to make money. Although he is also practicing, he has not felt any signs of breaking through the seventh level of Qi refining.
He was talking about the upgrade of Xiaohu. This winter, he read a lot of mechanical books and the database has been enriched.
When he was imagining a small lake recently, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the big-headed butterfly had a slight lag when turning in circles.???.
This kind of reaction is not unfamiliar to him. When he was at Blue Star, whenever Xiaohu wanted to upgrade the database, a similar phenomenon would occur.
At that time, he was sure that Xiaohu had no sense of independent personality - and he did not dare to openly challenge social consensus.
But it was really difficult for him to determine what the small lake looked like now.
In any case, he is looking forward to its upgrade. Unfortunately, this body is still a bit weak and cannot support its computing power.
Just now, Geng Shougong sent another 300 books, and he wanted to try it out. Can Xiaohu be upgraded?
Hearing that he was going to retreat to study mechanical knowledge again, Hua Xiezi and Cindy were a little speechless.
Claire even asked directly, "Is mechanical knowledge so interesting?"
"Of course it's interesting," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "How about you follow suit?"
"No," Claire shook her head like a rattle, "I would rather learn sword skills from you."
She was already rebellious at her age, and she had long been covetous of the sword skills taught by the panda boss.
But this idea is not out of the ordinary. There are many female adventurers in the wasteland, and many of them are experts like Hua Scorpion.
After Spencer heard about it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes - is another team about to be attacked?
The panda boss takes action so frequently, isn't this... not good?
Qu Jianlei came out of quarantine after seven days. His usual practice was to prepare a large pot of meat and eat it to his heart's content.
Finding that his mood was not quite right, others did not dare to ask more questions, but Claire was bolder and asked, "How was the harvest from the retreat?"
"The harvest is okay," Qu Jianlei's answer was a little uninterested, "It's just... it's too expensive."
This time Xiaohu's upgrade consumed another B-level crystal, and he also suffered from a splitting headache for three days.
The harvest is definitely good, Xiaohu has absorbed the mechanical knowledge of the wasteland into the entire database in an orderly manner.
Thanks to his comprehensive absorption, Qu Jianlei can even make customized changes to the machinery in the wasteland.
After three days of headache, Xiaohu's computing power improved somewhat.
But what makes Qu Jianlei depressed is that he only has one B-level crystal left in his hand.
This crystal can help him rush to the seventh level of Qi Refining, but as for the eighth level, there is no need to think about it.
Seeing that everything was in vain, he was also worried... While the B-level crystals were still effective, you couldn't use the A-level crystals in advance, right?
The key is that there are not many A-level crystals, only two in total... plus one unformed one.
It’s true that if you don’t practice, you don’t know that you are poor, Qu Jianlei thought gloomily while eating meat.
Spencer came back at night and found that he had left the house. He was a little surprised: he didn't attack others?
This was what he was thinking, and he provided new information, "Hongxue personally came forward to offer a reward for Black Wind's attack!"
"Hongxue..." Qu Jianlei was a little speechless about the news, "What do they think? Are they only allowed to steal things from Black Wind?"
"The main reason is that I have no clue," Spencer replied disapprovingly, "Hongxue feels like she's been slapped in the face..."
Then he sighed and looked a little ugly, "It is said that there were two mutant crystals among the supplies that Heifeng was robbed."
"Mutation crystal?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, but couldn't help but cursed in his heart, there is a mutant crystal of p.
"It must be fake news," any old liar can think of this, but the crux of the matter is, "Money and silk can move people's hearts."
Qu Jianlei was a little depressed at first, and then he realized, isn't this the reason why I acquired Crystal?
"Have they said, what are these two crystals?"
"I didn't say that," the old liar shook his head, and then spoke seriously, "I guess they still want to catch that silly song."
"The reward amount for Silly Qu has now increased to two thousand, mainly because that guy also likes mutant crystals."
"Who doesn't like mutant crystals?" Qu Jianlei asked nonchalantly, and then expressed.
"Please help me find out where I can find the crystals of the abnormal snow silk ape... I will pay a high price."
"Abnormal Snow Silk Ape?" Spencer raised his brows, "Only accept this type, or do you want to accept all B-grade crystals?"
"Mainly it's the abnormal snow silk ape," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Others...it depends on the specific situation."
The old liar thought for a moment, and then asked again, "Would it be a little more ostentatious if we do this?"
If someone suspects that you are stupid, we may experience disaster.
"Just let the wind go," Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "The alien snow silk ape has its own opinions. It's abnormal for me not to care."
What he said was absolutely correct. On the third day, Geng Shougong came to the door and asked, "Abnormal Snow Silk Ape Crystal...have you reached the bottleneck?"
Most people don't need mutated crystals, but this kind of crystal is an exception - maintenance technicians can use it!
Snow Ape Crystal can effectively improve the repairman's feel and enhance stability.
Qu Jianlei didn't know this knowledge originally, it was the information he got from books recently.
As for how to use crystals to improve the feel and enhance stability, the book does not explain it clearly - you will understand naturally if you understand.
So Qu Jianlei is not afraid to just let the wind go. As a maintenance engineer, if he doesn't react in this situation, then that's abnormal, right?
The fact that Geng Shou came directly to his door meant that many people were bright-eyed and knew what he was asking for.
"It's not necessarily a bottleneck," Qu Jianlei replied sternly, "But since a crystal has appeared, shouldn't I give it a try?"
"Indeed," Geng Shougong nodded in agreement, "But do you have enough money?"
"When it comes to money, there is always a way," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It's nothing more than seven or eight thousand silver dollars."
He bought B-grade crystals in the Hongzi settlement area, which was actually five thousand silver dollars each. Now he was talking a little more.
"Seven to eight thousand silver dollars, what are you thinking about?" Geng Shougong suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Can it be at least twelve thousand?"
Qu Jianlei was also stunned when he heard this, "Is it so expensive?"
"Of course," Geng Shougong looked at him angrily and funny.
"For ordinary B-level crystals, seven or eight thousand is enough, but the Snow Silk Ape's crystals can be used by ordinary people."
"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded. This logic was too simple, "but I didn't think too much about it."
Geng Shougong looked around and lowered his voice, "Do you really want the Snow Silk Ape Crystal? Do you have enough money?"
"I can scrape together some money," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "I still have some redeemables... Do you have this crystal?"
For him now, money is really not a big problem.
Although he is not rich, money can be earned or robbed, but crystallization is hard to come by.
"I can help you a little," Geng Shougong's eyes flickered, "using crystallization... can you sell it?"
This was the real purpose of his hurry.
Everyone knows that the crystallization of Snow Silk Ape is good for repairmen, but not many people know how to use it.
Geng Shougong's status is already high, but even he doesn't know how to use this thing.
This question really surprised Qu Jianlei, but thinking about it again, it seemed like nothing.
So he shook his head simply, "Sorry, actually I don't know how. I'll wait until I buy the crystal and then find someone to teach me."
"Can't you?" Geng Shougong was really angry and funny. How stupid must I be to believe what you say?
Is it possible to spend such a large amount of money to buy something that you don’t know when you will use it?
Moreover, this method of using it cannot be learned just by wanting to learn it - even Geng Shougong cannot master it.
But the other party didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force it. The forces that knew this method were not something ordinary people could provoke.
So he could only say, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei would not give up so easily, "I hear you mean, do you know where the crystal is?"
He deliberately did not emphasize "Snow Silk Monkey", just because he wanted to know what the other party's character was.
"If you want to buy crystals, go to the main settlement," Geng Shougong replied simply, "There are a lot of crystals there."
After a pause, he added, "But it's very expensive. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"I also know that there are a lot of crystals in the general settlement," Qu Jianlei said disapprovingly, "but there are also a lot of disgusting people there."
Upon hearing this, Geng Shougong realized that he was a very knowledgeable person, so he said simply, "I can help you introduce two trustworthy people."
"Really?" Qu Jianlei looked him up and down, his eyes full of suspicion, "How to use crystals... I really don't understand."
"You are going too far," Geng Shougong rubbed his temples in distress, "If you don't give me anything, why should I help you?"
I like exchanges based on interests! Qu Jianlei smiled, "Besides using crystallization methods...what else do you need?"
Do you want to throw money at me? Geng Shougong heard clearly, "I'm not short of money."
He said this very proudly. In fact, he was really not short of money. I couldn't say how rich he was, but he was really not bad.
Qu Jianlei didn't feel too surprised. He emphasized again, "I'm just asking, what else do you need?"
Geng Shougong thought about it and asked a question, "You have read a lot of mechanical journals, can you write an in-depth one yourself?"
"Journal submission?" Qu Jianlei was delighted when he heard this. Is this kind of thing still a big deal to him?
When he was at Blue Star, he did this kind of thing a lot. It was not unfamiliar at all.
Now that he is submitting articles in the wasteland, he won't think it's a problem.
Especially since Xiaohu has just integrated the data here, it is not a problem to automatically generate some manuscripts.
Seriously, he was a little curious, "If my manuscript is too outstanding, I will be in trouble. Aren't you worried?"
——————
Chapter 98 Anatomy? (Second update to congratulate Brother Bangzi 10/10)
Faced with Qu Jianlei's question, Geng Shougong answered without hesitation.
"I'm just worried that your writing isn't outstanding enough... As long as it's outstanding enough, I can help you no matter how hard it is!"
Qu Jianlei looked at him thoughtfully, "Do you... want some performance?"
Of course Geng Shougong wanted to achieve results, and he did not hide this, "Just write, it will be Zhou Liu's achievements."
"Not much interest," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "I'm not from Zhou Liu."
Geng Shougong was not angry, but asked happily, "Can you really write something?"
If you write something here, I’m afraid you’ll face more than just slices, right? Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes.
"Can you tell me about the review standards of this journal? I also want to know about the distribution aspect."
Geng Shougong looked at him in confusion, "You don't know?"
"Of course I don't know," Qu Jianlei's eyes were full of doubts, "Should I know?"
I don’t know if it is allowed! Geng Shougong understands this very well.
Not to mention outsiders, insiders may not necessarily understand the procedures for review and issuance.
He rubbed his forehead and organized his words, "Actually, it's okay not to know. Just concentrate on writing your manuscript."
"I'm not interested in writing at the moment," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "because I don't know enough."
But Geng Shougong understood that it wasn't that this guy didn't know enough, but purely psychological rejection.
So he hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Then there's no need to write, life will continue as usual."
Four months later, spring came and flowers bloomed, and Zhou Liu jumped from the harsh winter to the early summer.
During this period, Qu Jianlei went hunting twice more, just to make ends meet.
He has never done mechanical maintenance again, not because he doesn't want to do it, but simply because his price is too high.
Now that spring has begun, Qu Jianlei is going to go out and do some activities.
Zhou Liu was not a bad place, but he felt that there should be higher and higher skies worth exploring by himself.
The main reason is that it is no longer absolutely safe here, and we have to explore a safer place.
Then let's go to the general settlement area. Qu Jianlei has been in this world for eight years and has never seen the general settlement area.
However, at the beginning of spring, the road was not easy to travel, so we had to wait for a while.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. Qu Jianlei had already finished reading the book. He didn't want to wait any longer and decided to leave with Hua Xiezi.
Spencer has been let go, and Cindy and Claire both have settlement status.
Both of these women want to follow them, but the key is that there is no point in staying.
But in Qu Jianlei's mind, he always remembered Xiaojing and Xiannian - the two could have survived.
So he warned them very solemnly, "Your identities outside the city are not exposed, so go ahead and live in the city for a while."
The living conditions of Cindy and her daughter have improved a lot, especially Claire, who is already a minor overlord outside the city.
She didn't show off her resident status, she was actually young, and she had an overclocking dagger and a laser pistol on her body.
From this glance, you can tell that she is someone who is not easy to mess with, and she has a character that will not suffer any loss.
At the same time, she can also help introduce business to the panda boss. Outside the city, few teenagers dare to provoke her.
But the good thing is that although she is domineering, she doesn't like to bully the weak, and she is considered the king of children outside the city.
Cindy saw that Qu Jianlei was resolute, so she took the initiative to ask, "Are you coming back?"
"If nothing happens," Qu Jianlei didn't dare to say anything, "come back before winter."
Cindy's eyesight was not bad, she guessed that these two people had a big secret, "Do you want to buy a house in the city?"
"Buy a set," Qu Jianlei took out another five hundred silver dollars, "and put it in your name."
Houses in settlements are not cheap, not to mention luxury houses. Houses in better locations cost more than 300 silver dollars.
However, in comparison, the cost of living in settlements is higher.
It's not that Qu Jianlei is poor and generous, but he doesn't need to keep too many Zhou Liu silver coins.
If he could come back here again, he wouldn't have to worry about making money. If he couldn't come back, the silver dollar would easily reveal his identity.
When he brought the mother and daughter together, he originally wanted to find helpers, but later found out that without their cover, his identity would have been exposed.
Qu Jianlei has always been generous to those who have helped him.
Cindy's eyes were even more complicated, "What if you don't come back this winter?"
"Wait until next winter," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "then you can decide on your own."
"Then these silver coins..." Cindy wanted to confirm one last time.
Qu Jianlei shook his head indifferently, "If we don't come back, then of course it will be yours."
Hearing this, Hua Scorpion also spoke out, "I've gone to the city, but don't leave the city before winter...you guys should leave first."
She knew how much trouble Hei Tian had caused because of the crack and Xiao Jing's death, and believed that this was a hurdle that he couldn't get over.
"Okay," Cindy nodded upon hearing this, without being polite.
Seriously, she emphasized one point, "Don't worry, Claire and I have never met you two."
Hua Scorpion smiled when he heard this, "It's not a big deal, just don't say it casually."
Early the next morning, Cindy took her daughter and entered the city in a different direction.
Claire was still a little confused, "Mom, why do you say you haven't met the eldest and second sister?"
"They are in trouble," Cindy explained carefully as she carefully trained her daughter, "We have to keep it secret."
"If there is trouble... then kill the other party!" Claire said without hesitation, "They need help."
"It's not your turn," Cindy replied angrily, what has my daughter become?
"You are someone who can make even the panda boss fear you. Do you think you can help?"
Claire was at a loss for words, but after a pause, she couldn't help but argue, "One more person always means more strength."
"We are a drag," Cindy saw clearly, "I guess Huang Scorpion is probably a drag, how can you be better than the second sister?"
When Claire heard this, she immediately stopped talking. Her idol was actually not Qu Jianlei, but Hua Xiezi.
She would be satisfied if she could become an elite adventurer like her second sister - at least for now, this is her goal.
In the small courtyard, Hua Xiezi was also talking to Qu Jianlei, "Are you worried that the other party will chase you?"
"We have to be on guard," Qu Jianlei replied with a dark face, "You can't imagine how cold-blooded they are."
Hua Scorpion hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why did you provoke them?"
Qu Jianlei also hesitated for a moment before answering, "The first generation genetic modification agent... I can handle it."
"Genetic modification potion...is there really such a thing?" Hua Scorpion was horrified when he heard this, "What do you mean by carrying it through?"
Although she is an elite-level adventurer, she still knows little about the relevant information.
"Originally it's poison," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "It needs to be neutralized with conditioning potion... Even then, not many can survive it."
"You held on without neutralizing..." Hua Xiezi understood.
But precisely because she understood, she didn't dare to ask. It took her a long time to speak, "Like the Ultimate Warrior?"
She also had vivid memories of the two Ultimate Warriors she met - no one could ever forget them.
"I'm not sure if those two are genetic warriors," Qu Jianlei sighed, "Even if they are, they didn't use the first-generation potion."
Hua Scorpion took another breath, "In other words, they want to catch you and dissect you?"
"I don't know what they want to catch me for," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "but I'm not without a background."
He now quite trusts Hua Scorpion. However, people's hearts cannot stand the test, and it is necessary to brag appropriately.
"You must have a background," Hua Xiezi had no doubt about this. She had been captured by the Sai family and knew exactly what happened.
She believed that Silly Qu was a lucky orphan back then.
But she definitely didn't believe that the surviving Silly Qu was lucky enough to have the current strength of Heitian.
Now she has practiced Tai Chi Thirteen Swords to a so-so level, and knows that this is not something that an individual can just make up out of thin air.
Besides, is Boss Krishna really stupid? She can't tell at all.
"Anyway, this matter is not over yet," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "When I get stronger, I will definitely regain my place."
Hua Xiezi was silent. She wanted to ask: Can't you ask for help from the forces behind you?
However, things can't be done that way. She already knows a lot of secrets today, and going too far is not enough.
And these secrets are really scary.
She thought again and again before asking again, "If you practice like you, can I become that powerful?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at her indifferently, "The water is too deep here. If you fill it in one hundred and eighty, you won't be able to make a splash."
"I'm not afraid of being filled in," Hua Xiezi replied without hesitation, "I'm just afraid that I'm not strong enough."
Qu Jianlei was not surprised by this answer. Nearly two years of contact were enough for him to understand her character.
But he still said, "But the vast majority of people have fallen on the road to becoming stronger. This road is not as easy as you think."
"I don't care," Hua Xiezi had already thought about it, "How many adventurers have died?"
This makes sense, but Qu Jianlei still shook his head, "The law is not taught lightly. You have to understand this and take your time."
He didn't know if there was any spatial intersection between this place and Blue Star. Before he knew it clearly, he would never teach the technique easily.
"I understand," Hua Xiezi nodded. She knew very well how rare it was to be able to strengthen herself, and she was a little anxious.
But she still had regrets, "The main reason is that if I am too weak, it will be difficult for me to cooperate with you in fighting."
"You don't have to think about cooperation," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said straightforwardly, "When the real battle comes, you can just run."
Hua Xiezi suddenly felt a little blocked in his chest. Even though I'm not that strong, I'm not that unbearable, right?
"At least I can drive to pick you up."
Qu Jianlei glanced at her indifferently, "If you meet those two ultimate warriors... what are your chances of winning?"
(I finally paid off Brother Bangzi’s golden cuteness. Fortunately, there is no diamond cuteness...)
