Chapter 1093: Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside
Qu Jianlei knew very well that the nutritional supplements were telling the truth, although in a place like this, the possibility of being noticed by the military was almost zero.
However, the other party keeps saying that it is not far away from the military, and the frequency is really high. If the security is not complete, it will be retrieved for some reasons.
But in the end he said, "Forget it, let them do it... maybe they came back this time for fishing."
If not to say that he doesn't feel safe, he is just too suspicious.
Nutrients was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought about it and nodded, "Don't tell me, it's really possible."
Anyway, after this wave of people arrived, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
Although the distance between the two sides exceeds 3,000 kilometers, who can guarantee whether there is anyone with strong perception on the other side?
Time passed little by little, and after ten days Qu Jianlei could be sure that the other party really had a Supreme Being.
The highest attribute is water, which is the most popular attribute in space and is also the leader among the opponent's seven.
After Qu Jianlei knew that there was a supreme leader in this group of people, he completely put aside those entanglements - if nothing unexpected happened, he could last at least a year or two.
So in the following time, they were more careful and tried not to let the other party discover them.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have enough supplies. After searching the surrounding area for more than ten days, a small camp was built.
After the camp was built, they explored the surrounding area for many days, obviously trying to find more resources that could be used.
But it is a pity that among these people, there are no talented people who can rub equipment by hand.
The lack of equipment has caused related resources to be unable to keep up, and the scope of their exploration has also been limited.
Coupled with the harsh natural environment, in the end, the exploration radius of these people did not exceed one thousand kilometers.
After all, Qu Jianlei and the others not only have a higher level of cultivation, but also have sufficient supplies of materials and can monitor the entire planet well.
This leads to serious information asymmetry between the two parties.
This episode was neither big nor small, but Bentley, who was the center of everyone's attention, had no idea about it.
Lao Ben's perception... is actually quite good, but at the moment all his thoughts are focused on climbing the stairs.
The main reason is that he is very sure that there are many reliable companions around him to protect him, so there is no need for him to worry about trivial things.
Mrs. Jia felt his mentality very clearly, and at a certain moment, she actually felt some emotion.
"I really envy Bentley. At his age, I really don't have so many friends that I can trust my life to!"
The old lady can be considered a person who has made friends all over the world, but she has made many friends mainly because she is strong enough.
Because she is talented enough, it is inevitable that her temper is not very good and her vision is also very high.
Under such circumstances, it's okay to be friends with her and help her a little, but if you want to trust her with your life... it's very difficult!
"Actually, he also envies you," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "The most precious things are the things you can't get."
Amid everyone's attention, after another two months, Bentley finally reached the stage of sprinting.
"I'm going back to pick up Qing Hu!" Nutrient said loudly, "I promised her."
"Let's take them both over," Qu Jianlei said casually, "It feels like it's only been a few months."
He was not yet able to accurately judge the date, but his estimate was about right, which was already far beyond that of others.
Nutrients nodded and turned around to leave. When he went back this time, he chose the high imitation warship No. 3344.
6503 is the latest to be listed. As a pure warship, this is the most suitable place for it to perform.
After the nutritional supplements left, Claire looked for an opportunity to quietly ask Qu Jianlei.
"Boss, almost everyone is coming to see my boss. Can he... definitely make it?"
Among the members from the Garbage Star, she was closest to Hua Scorpion and Bentley, and she was really worried about Bentley.
Qu Jianlei could understand her worries, but he still smiled and said lightly, "Is there anything in the world that is guaranteed to happen?"
Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, he added, "Cultivation is inherently a very risky thing."
"If you feel it's dangerous, you don't have to practice cultivation, but who is willing to refuse the brilliance of life, even for a moment?"
Claire was silent for a long time and then nodded, "That's right. If you don't let me practice now, I would rather die."
"So that's it," Qu Jianlei was not surprised by her reaction at all. This is how people from the Empire should be.
Claire was silent for a while, and then asked, "If one day, I die in the middle of climbing the stairs, will you be sad?"
This... Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then nodded simply, "Of course!"
You are my comrade, of course I will feel sad, but this child... seems to be a little crazy.
Twenty days later, Nutritional Agent rushed over with Qinghu and Tianyin, "There was a little delay on the way, isn't it too late?"
"It's not too late. It won't matter if it's half a month later," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then asked, "What happened?"
"It's two noble families who want to join forces," Nutrient replied casually.
"They also discovered the space fluctuation point, but were expelled by the military... Marquis Cicero seemed to have some ideas."
The space fluctuation point shifted again, but the military kept a close eye on it, so it was not lost.
At the same time, the fluctuation point has also entered the eyes of more and more forces, but at this moment the military does not want to let it go.
In addition, the disappearance of Si Xi Zhigao and his team can now be basically considered to be murdered.
The Cicero family, which had conflicts with Sisi, was considered the most suspect.
But the influence of the Marquis is not an exaggeration.
When Sisi was around, with the support of his supreme authority, the Cicero family was inevitably passive, but that is no longer the case now.
They firmly refused to admit that they had anything to do with Si Xi's disappearance, and gloated that this man had too many enemies.
The Cicero family even named the tenants of the Gustin family's land - it is said that Si Xi was still causing trouble for them at that time!
They did not insist that the matter must have been done by Qu Jianlei and others - the Marquis family would not act too recklessly.
But when they asked Gustin's house for help and received no response, it was normal to feel a little annoyed.
Anyway, the Cicero family made a long list of suspects, which shows how unpopular Sisi Supreme is.
The rankings of Qu Jianlei and his party are not high - at least not as good as the viscount who is about to lose his fiefdom!
However, the Cicero family was so provocative, which made Nutritional Agent very unhappy, and he warned him through others: Do things the same way.
After receiving the warning, the other party also expressed his apology, but his attitude was just that.
The Cicero family felt that they did not make something out of nothing. Honesty was originally a quality that nobility should have.
Moreover, they found out that Si Xi was indeed not very interested in Gustin's tenants.
It is true that the person who knows you best may not be your friend, but may be your enemy.
The Cicero family said they knew the Gustin tenants were ruthless and did not elaborate on the situation.
In short, the other party is worthy of being a Marquis family. They act according to rules and are neither humble nor arrogant.
As for the losses they suffered from Si Xi before, there were other reasons...crimes other than war.
The Cicero family has no intention of fighting with Qu Jianlei and the others, and even expressed through others that they are willing to cooperate on spatial fluctuation points.
When Qu Jianlei heard that his family had not suffered a loss, he didn't care anymore. Instead, he asked, "Is the fluctuation point fast?"
"It will probably take a while," the nutritional agent replied casually.
"At least it was after I reached the level. Isn't he almost done?"
Bentley was really fast. On the eighth day after the three nutritional supplements returned, he ended his retreat and came out.
"The final adjustments have been made, and I will go into seclusion in three days."
"Seclusion" is a term brought by Qu Jianlei, but when my boss said it, it was because he wanted to change places to advance to the next level.
This is a retreat place just opened by Qu Jianlei and others. It is more than 500 kilometers away from the new base.
The new base is very well built. Not only does it have a large amount of resources, it also has two units running data.
This kind of place cannot be destroyed by Jie Lei, and there are still a group of outsiders on the planet.
It would be very uneconomical for those people to discover a new base because of Thunder Tribulation.
Three days later, everyone rushed to the new retreat venue together.
The conditions here are also good. It is also in the middle of the mountain, but it is not deep and will not hinder the formation of thunder outside the cave.
The environment, room temperature and air freshness are all relatively livable, and defensive formations have also been set up.
After everyone settled in, Qu Jianlei returned to the new base and continued to run data on the equipment.
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed. Daily communication is maintained at the retreat venue, and Bentley's condition is stable.
On this day, Qu Jianlei planned to try to sense if there were any loopholes in the newly calculated Nascent Soul Technique.
At this moment, he suddenly thought, and his perception was quietly released.
There seemed to be slight changes in the air fluctuations in the retreat place.
Then he asked Xiaohu to contact the paranoid forerunner, "Is this the beginning?"
Among the onlookers, Paranoid has a relatively peaceful mind, and his perception is strong and sharp enough.
He answered quickly, "There does seem to be some change. It's strange. I feel a little palpitated."
This is normal. Qu Jianlei is not surprised. In his understanding, the Awakened System is just the monkey version of cultivating immortals.
When the monkey version meets the genuine version, it’s normal to feel some discomfort, right?
He got up and left the new base. After making various disguises, he flashed all the way to the retreat place.
However, Bentley's advancement was not as fast as he imagined.
After Qu Jianlei arrived at the scene, he waited another seven or eight days before the abnormal smell in the air became obvious.
At this point, Qinghu had some say. After all, she had seen Qu Jianlei's greatest impact.
"It's probably about five to fifteen days, so I can reach the highest level...but it might take a little longer."
She doesn't think that others can advance through the ranks as quickly as the boss.
