Chapter 157 Can’t hide it anymore (an update to celebrate the future of the cute master)
On the night of Qu Jianlei's breakthrough, Xiao Qin brought two of his best friends to the hotel for dinner.
The hotel's reputation is really good, and many inspectors are willing to come to eat there, including other three-bedroom establishments.
It's just that the price of the hotel is a bit expensive, and with the income from inspections, I'm not willing to come there often.
When Xiao Qin came, he naturally asked Qu Jianlei to accompany him, but when he saw him, he was stunned and said, "You have been promoted?"
The other party has just improved, and the fluctuating aura cannot be concealed from others at all.
"A little bit," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "I'll see if I can do something good this winter."
You have to give the other party some benefit in order to get a glimpse of B-level training methods.
In fact, he has already deduced the next step of cultivation, but it is better to have more reference materials than none.
Xiao Qin nodded calmly and introduced his best friend.
People flock together and birds flock together. One of her two best friends is a transformation warrior and the other is an ultimate fire-attribute warrior.
She originally came from a wealthy family, and now she is the ultimate warrior. Those former best friends really can't survive anymore.
Even now, the reformed warriors are obviously a head lower than the three of them, and their speech and behavior are very restrained.
Unsurprisingly, Qu Jianlei's appetite shocked the two new girls he met.
In the end, Xiao Qin, who was planning to treat a guest, couldn't help it anymore, "It's more than eighty silver dollars, Jian Lei, you can eat again... next time you treat me!"
"I'll just ask you this time," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "My level has improved and I have time to make money."
"They are my friends, of course I invited them," Xiao Qin said mid-sentence when his heart suddenly moved.
Jamali has warned that when conditions permit, you can take the opportunity to ask a few questions, "Are you short of money?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and said, "I've been sitting on my hands and eating. I'm not very short of money now, but if you don't worry about the long term, you will have to worry about the near future."
"I just don't know if the security team plans to pay back the money recently."
"You mentioned money, and I remembered something," Xiao Qin said seemingly casually.
"The boss has a friend who has encountered a bottleneck and is planning to make a breakthrough. He wants to borrow eight B-grade and one A-grade from you."
"Borrow crystals from me?" Qu Jianlei was suddenly stunned. Do you know that borrowing money can ruin your social circle?
"There is a mortgage," Xiao Qin replied casually, "The boss said that if you borrow crystals from others, he will double the mortgage."
It is indeed difficult to buy mutated crystals, but that refers to the market price, and with a premium of 30 to 50%, it is not difficult to purchase.
If you buy it at double price, I can’t say how much you want, but you will definitely not be out of stock.
"That's a big deal," Qu Jianlei smiled, "There's no need for a mortgage. I'll lend him four B-level pills."
When the two best friends heard this, they both looked at him, their eyes full of surprise.
Even though their family conditions are not bad, they really don't have four B-grade crystals at home.
It may not be difficult to make ends meet after going bankrupt, but living in Central City, how can you live without your property?
Unexpectedly, although this man is young, he is really very creative.
Xiao Qin, however, spoke seriously, "The boss is always fair in doing things. If you ask for a mortgage, you will mortgage it, otherwise he will be angry."
"But the problem now is that the quantity he wants is relatively large, and four pills are not enough."
Qu Jianlei was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Does it take so many crystals to improve a B-level warrior?"
Before Xiao Qin could answer, the Ultimate Warrior named Xiao Min interrupted, "Yeah, otherwise I would say Ultimate Warrior costs money."
Qu Jianlei replied sadly, "Then I can only take out four."
Xiao Qin looked at him in surprise, "But you have eight... you have a mortgage, what are you worried about?"
"But now..." Qu Jianlei was halfway through his words when he realized something was wrong.
But it was already like this, and he didn't bother to cover it up - mainly because he was about to reach B level, so he felt a little more confident.
"I only have six left now, and I use the remaining two for myself."
"Did you use it yourself?" The three women looked over at the same time.
Xiao Qin knew that he was not B-level, but the eyes of those two women were wrong - such a young and handsome B-level?
Qu Jianlei's appearance...how should I put it? I can't say it's bad, but he's not the type of little fresh meat.
I can only say that it is very manly.
Facing these three pairs of eyes, Qu Jianlei felt a little numb, "This is my crystallization."
Xiao Min smiled slightly and spoke softly, "Brother Jian Lei... where did you use it?"
Xiao Min is actually not ugly. Not only is she fire-attributed, she also has a pretty hot figure.
However, Qu Jianlei didn't like this type of person. He replied bluntly, "I have a use for it...can't I give it to someone else?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, Xiao Qin looked at him deeply. Although he said nothing, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
You are a homebody who never leaves or goes out. How many people do you know in Central City? Who can you give the crystal to?
However, Xiao Qin was quite calm and didn't say anything. Everyone had a meal and left.
The next morning, she came again, under the guise of offering winter benefits from the Inspectorate.
After meeting Qu Jianlei and explaining the benefits, she asked questions seriously.
"Eight crystals... really can't be taken out?"
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard it, "Stop making trouble, don't you just want to know where the crystal is used? I really know how to use it."
Xiao Qin was stunned for a while before asking in a low voice, "For practice?"
When she asked this question, her voice was trembling. Can C-level warriors really use B-level crystals to practice?
"Half and half," Qu Jianlei's reply was vague, "it can be used to some extent."
"This is what we want," Xiao Qin usually looks sticky and female, but when it's time to make a decision, she really dares to make a decision.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and asked, "C-level warriors absorb B-level crystals? I just want to ask...is it really difficult?"
This question is a bit of a test. With everyone's information channels, only B-level warriors can directly absorb crystals and practice.
But that is just conventional knowledge. Who can tell clearly what is hidden behind the information barrier?
In fact, Xiao Qin has also seriously considered this issue, and he also vaguely doubts in his heart whether there is a secret that he doesn't know about.
So she hesitated and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"I like to think pioneeringly," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "This is a habit developed by learning mechanical knowledge."
This explanation was quite reasonable, and Xiao Qin remembered Jamali's evaluation of Jian Lei.
Then she nodded and asked tentatively, "So you... figured it out yourself?"
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "I just have some ideas, but they are far from perfect."
That may not be your idea, right? Xiao Qin doubts this very much.
She looked at the other party suspiciously, "That's great too... Are you willing to share it with everyone?"
"Tsk, share," Qu Jianlei smacked his lips.
What he hates most is that others requisition it, whether it's wealth, manpower...or brainpower.
But the Inspectorate did not treat him lightly. He thought for a moment before asking, "Do you think it is a good thing for this news to spread?"
Xiao Qin was stunned when he heard this, then nodded after thinking, "Your concerns are very reasonable, but I didn't think too much."
Then she turned around and walked out, "Wait for me, I'll report this to the boss... okay?"
"Am I qualified to say no?" Qu Jianlei muttered softly.
Two hours later, Jamali appeared at the door, "I just had something to do, so I came late."
A dignified inspector general arrived so quickly and had to explain why he came to play, which shows that he attaches great importance to the news.
After confirming the news, the inspector general asked a question, "Besides yourself, has this method been used on anyone else?"
Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but said, "This is where I am embarrassed..."
"Tests can go wrong, and the price of an error can be death, or it can seriously affect the body."
Jamali originally wanted to make some inquiries and find out what was going on with the two people in Tianzi District.
Now that his train of thought had been distorted, he nodded solemnly, "Take the ultimate warrior test casually, that is a capital offense."
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "So I can only test it on myself and cannot use it on others."
That Terry...it's hard to say, Jamali knew it very well.
However, the method of cultivating electromagnetic attributes is too sensitive. If the other party does not take the initiative to talk about it, it is not appropriate for him to ask.
He nodded, "The inspection office can provide you with relevant testing resources."
There are not many Ultimate Fighters who have committed serious crimes because they have very high immunity.
Anyway, there is only a total of more than 1,000 but less than 2,000 groups, and it is unlikely that there will be a death penalty in five or six years.
But there are quite a few soldiers who carry punishments on their backs. For example, Popov, who evaded conscription, would still be punished even if he was not killed.
Qu Jianlei asked suspiciously, "A lot of people are in jail?"
"There are more than twenty people in the atonement team," Jamali revealed another secret. "The crime will not lead to death and cannot be easily forgiven."
Qu Jianlei shook his head and asked again, "What about confidentiality?"
Jamali was silent, if he tested out a suitable cultivation method, would he still be able to silence him?
Xiao Qin suddenly asked, "Jian Lei...are you from the canyon?"
This is a good question! Qu Jianlei gave a thumbs up in his heart. If he didn't ask again, he wouldn't know what to say.
He hesitated and shook his head, "I'm not sure about this... there is a Sai family in Hongzi District, do you know?"
Jamali and Xiao Qin looked at each other and shook their heads. Who would care about the most backward settlement?
"Then please help me find out," Qu Jianlei said leisurely.
"We'll talk about other things after I destroy the Sai family... Now I want to be quiet."
"A small family from a backward settlement?" Xiao Qin smiled disdainfully, "I'll deal with it for you."
Qu Jianlei shook his head and said expressionlessly, "You don't need to take action."
A trace of ferocity flashed across his eyes, "I will avenge my friend personally."
(First update, He Meng plans his future in Shanghai.)——————
Chapter 158: Someone comes in the middle of the night (Second update to congratulate Meng Zhu Qianyu)
With the speed of the inspection office, it took ten days to get information about the Sai family in Hongzi District.
However, the information he learned made Jamali a little stunned, so he had no choice but to ask Xiao Qin to inform Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei was stunned after hearing this, "The Sai family... was wiped out?"
Xiao Qin looked depressed, "What happened two years ago... is all dead. It was definitely not our fault, it was other people."
Qu Jianlei frowned, "Who did this?"
"I don't know," Xiao Qin shook his head and added hesitantly, "Maybe he's not from Hongzi District."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and shook his head, then hummed disapprovingly.
"With their way of doing things, it's not surprising at all that they will end up like this... Why are you looking at me like this?"
Xiao Qin finally couldn't hold it back, "There must be ultimate warriors involved, and there are more than one or two."
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, and soon he came to his senses.
He pointed at himself and asked in disbelief, "Do you think it has something to do with me?"
Xiao Qin didn't answer, but her eyes said everything: What do you think?
Qu Jianlei was also speechless. God has something to do with me. "Doesn't anyone know what the Sai family has done?"
Xiao Qin shook his head, "The insiders are all dead, and we can't get any information, and..."
There was obvious disdain on her face, "The various facilities in Hongzi District are so backward that no one wants to continue to inquire."
People in Central City have criticized Tianzi District a lot, and their attitude towards Hongzi District, which ranks last, can be imagined.
It was too backward and too dirty, the survivors were scattered and there was almost no communication capability.
People in Central City are too lazy to put in more effort, and there won't be any big trouble here anyway.
The Inspectorate cannot emphasize how important this matter is, so the news ends here.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and shook his head seriously, "It has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Qin didn't want to argue with him anymore, "Now...can we talk about cooperation?"
The Sai family is gone, but Qu Jianlei is not happy at all. It is really a pity for him that he did not take revenge personally.
The experience of being driven away like a lost dog made him feel uneasy when he thought about it.
He can't be said to be safe now. The matter of using B-grade crystals to practice has been exposed!
The key is that there is a mysterious "canyon" within the central city.
"Can you tell me about the canyon?"
As expected, Xiao Qin looked at him strangely, "Do you still need me to tell you the information about the canyon?"
Qu Jianlei raised his finger and pointed at his head, "Maybe you don't believe it, but there's something wrong with my... memory."
Xiao Qin looked indifferent, "There's no point in believing this, but I don't know much."
It is said that before the central city was built, there was already a canyon.
Some people speculate that they are survivors of one or more large shelters before the end of the world.
The people in the canyon guided the survivors to rebuild their homes and taught them a lot of knowledge.
Later, some outstanding survivors expressed their hope to live in the canyon and guide public opinion among the survivors.
We are all human beings, and everyone wants a better life, right?
As a result, the people in the canyon disappeared overnight, and the instigators were all killed.
They left a red warning sign: Anyone who dares to talk about the canyon will be killed without mercy.
There are always people who do not believe in evil and believe that pursuing a better life is right.
However, the people in the canyon always use killing to tell them: Don't ignore our warnings!
Only then did the survivors realize that not all people in the canyon had left, and some people were hiding among them.
As time went by, no one finally dared to talk about the canyon.
After a long time, some people suddenly appeared and brought more knowledge and materials to Central City.
Many people guessed that it should still be those two words, but in the end no one dared to talk about the canyon again.
If Central City governs the seven settlements below, then Canyon is the immediate boss of Central City.
Xiao Qin said at the end, "I may not be right, but I still have to tell you... don't mention these two words lightly."
Qu Jianlei asked two more questions, but she said helplessly, I only know so much, and many of them are still guesses.
She even said, half jokingly and half seriously, that she hoped you could tell me more after your memory recovers.
Qu Jianlei continued to ask, "Why do the middle managers of the power supply group dare to claim that their headquarters is in the canyon?"
"He knows you are the ultimate warrior," Xiao Qin gave the answer.
"The Ultimate Warrior is allowed to mention the canyon occasionally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the guts to talk to you about it."
Qu Jianlei frowned, remembering the lost memories before his predecessor's death.
There is no rule saying that one can obtain the memories of his previous life through time travel, but he might actually have lost his memory.
Don’t think about it that much. Anyway, there is such a canyon, and he has an excuse to do something eye-catching.
So he thought about it and asked, "About confidentiality..."
Xiao Qin replied very firmly, "This is an internal matter of Dizifang and no one can interfere."
Qu Jianlei thought about it and made another request, "I want to know how many people moved to Huangzi District in the first place."
"Desolate area?" This was the first time Xiao Qin heard these three words. "Is it also an inhabited area?"
Qu Jianlei nodded, "Go and find out more, remember to keep it confidential."
Regarding the Sai family's affairs, you haven't completed the entrustment. Is it not too much to make a small request?
Xiao Qin's efficiency was not bad. One day later, she used her watch to notify Qu Jianlei, "The boss wants you to come to the inspection office to talk."
When Qu Jianlei entered the small building, he bumped into Landers.
Landers saw him, walked up and bumped him with his arm, "Ha, do you remember working here?"
"I don't even want to come today," Qu Jianlei smiled and replied helplessly, "The boss is calling."
"Then go quickly," Landers nodded upon hearing this, "Go back to your door and I'll buy you a drink."
The salary of a mecha warrior is not as good as that of a modified warrior. He has heard how good that hotel is, but... it's poor!
Qu Jianlei glanced at him, "I'm the one who invited you to go. I asked you to spend money at my door. What's the point?"
Jamali was processing documents. When he saw Qu Jianlei coming in, he immediately put away his pen and said, "Close the door."
After Qu Jianlei closed the door, he lowered his voice and asked solemnly, "What do you mean by asking about people in Huangzi District?"
"I just asked casually," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "When I become stronger, I will have to settle some accounts."
Jamali frowned slightly, "What's your last name?"
"I didn't ask about this," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "It's a matter entrusted by a senior."
"Then you should implement it first," Jamali sighed softly, "The matter in Huangzi District is deeper than you think."
He already somewhat understands this guy's character, and he doesn't want to owe any favors, but he doesn't let the rabbit go before he sees it.
The cooperation discussed this time is expected to be postponed again.
Unexpectedly, Qu Jianlei took the initiative and asked, "Boss, which attribute of the warriors do you plan to use for the experiment?"
"Which attribute?" Jamali thought for a moment, "Can a disabled warrior do it?"
Qu Jianlei thought about it and then answered, "It's best not to have a disabled body. As for the limbs... it shouldn't be a big problem."
Jamali thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "If there is a ninth settlement, what should it be called?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "Why do you have to ask me this question?"
"Has anyone else asked?" Jamali was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and muttered in a low voice, "That's true."
Qu Jianlei said lazily, "After the beginning of the Tianxuan Dihuang universe... there are others."
Anyway, he would never say it. If he was pushed too hard, he would probably say that he made it up.
"Then you go back and prepare," Jamali replied seriously, "Xiao Qin will bring someone to find you tomorrow."
Qu Jianlei lowered his eyelids, "Boss, where are the training materials you promised me?"
"Are you asking now?" Jamali laughed when he heard this, "It seems that he still has money."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I have always caused trouble to Dizifang before, so I am too embarrassed to speak."
Jamali waved his hand and said, "Go to Xiao Qin and fill out a list and tell her what you need. She will bring it to you tomorrow."
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and asked again, "Can you lend me a B-level training method?"
Jamali shook his head and spoke seriously, "Don't make things difficult for me... Now it's time for you to show your results."
The implication is that as long as he achieves results, everything is easy to discuss.
Qu Jianlei thought about the same reason. After he signed up for the inspection office, he really had nothing to offer.
After finding Xiao Qin and filling out the form, he walked out of the office building and looked up at the clear sky: Is this on the right track?
After returning to the courtyard, Qu Jianlei went to a restaurant to have a delicious meal to celebrate that he had finally started living a normal life.
He didn't practice that night. After reading mechanical books for a while, he went to bed early to rest.
In the middle of the night, he was awakened by inexplicable heart palpitations and turned his head to look at the alarm screen beside his bed.
Sure enough, several screens were already black. His face sank and he pulled out a long knife from under the pillow.
This long knife was given to him by Jamali, and its quality is much higher than the knives in Central City.
Then he took out another hand cannon, which he also bought in Central City. It is very convenient for close combat.
He didn't know who was coming, and the other party had already entered the house, so he could kill him regardless of the reason.
Next, a small voice sounded, "Are you awake? You are indeed a very alert young man."
"But don't get me wrong, I mean no harm."
You say there is no malice in your current behavior? Qu Jianlei is too lazy to argue.
He spoke softly, "Explain your purpose...otherwise don't blame me for killing you."
There are many traps arranged in the yard. Although I don't know how the other party escaped, he still has a trump card.
It's just that the noise was too loud, and he didn't want to shock others anymore.
The voice continued to speak in a low voice, "Young man, don't be so resentful. Do you know why I can feel that you are awake?"
"Because I am a warrior with the wind attribute, your arrangements may not be able to defeat me."
