Hua Xiezi also knew his situation and couldn't help but say, "Are you going to take revenge?"
"I chose a small role," Bentley replied solemnly, "The key is that if we don't take action, the guy will die of old age."
Qu Jianlei thought more, "Will your attack this time remind the other party of the past grudges?"
"It shouldn't be so," Bentley shook his head, "I just pretended to be in the house and took the crystal."
Hua Scorpion asked again, "Only crystals, no silver coins or anything?"
Bentley replied casually, "Silver dollar deposit certificates for large amounts require a password and identity, so they cannot be used."
"I got some small banknotes, just over two thousand, and bought them all on the black market for cultivation resources."
Hua Scorpion's eyes lit up when he heard this, "How long is it before you break through to B level?"
Bentley was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "B-level... In the words of a ditty, it is probably the goal in my lifetime."
"But now that I can maintain my condition and make some progress in electromagnetism, I am very satisfied."
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, "As for complete revenge, I still have to count on you."
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei gave a thumbs up, "The capital is good, at least it hasn't bloated."
Bentley rolled his eyelids when he heard this, "I would like to expand, but my strength does not allow it, and I am not a young boy anymore."
Qu Jianlei thought of Dai Xingyan's commission, "Then you can fix it and let's go to Qianjing together next month."
Bentley rolled his eyes, "What about the acting president?"
"Well," Qu Jianlei nodded, "It's already been seven months, there's no need to wait until the beginning of the year."
"I'll just go alone," Bentley said simply.
"Old man, this is enough," Hua Xiezi was unhappy, "You can beat me if we work together, but the boss and I are both useless?"
Bentley hesitated for a moment, then finally answered seriously.
"Actually, after I got started with Ultimate Warrior, I realized that transforming warriors is really not worth mentioning. It would be more efficient for me to do it alone."
Hua Xiezi glanced at Qu Jianlei and said, "Boss, you still think we are holding you back."
"I just don't think there's any need to stir up trouble," Bentley replied sternly, "Wouldn't it be better for you two to stay at home and create wealth?"
Qu Jianlei didn't care about this. His focus was, "How sure are you?"
Bentley's answer was also very straightforward, "You are more certain than if the three of you go together."
"Then go ahead," Qu Jianlei said, not wanting to claim fame, "but be careful and don't take it lightly."
"It's not a big problem," Bentley replied confidently, "It's up to you. Don't write articles all day long. If you want to make money, make a lot of money!"
Needless to say, on the third day after this guy came back, he entered the city and continued to promote business for Qu Jianlei.
It can be seen that the financial pressure on this small group is really quite big.
Half a month later, Hua Scorpion finally got started, and it took another ten days to adjust and adapt.
Bentley returned for a little over a month before disappearing again.
This time, many people couldn't bear it anymore, and several people came directly to see Qu Jianlei.
Terry took our deposit, but you haven't started repairs yet. What's going on?
Qu Jianlei could only say that as long as I have Terry's receipt, I will acknowledge the account, so don't worry about it.
However, it is impossible for him to go out recently. Hua Scorpion has just started practicing, and he must protect the law.
After Bentley left, it lasted for more than a month, and in the end even Dai Xingyan couldn't help but come to visit.
She could guess what "Terry" had done, but what she cared about now was that Jian Lei hadn't posted in three months.
Having gotten used to the efficiency of being able to publish an article in a few months, the acting president couldn't bear it when he saw that he was about to go bald continuously.
Her performance has been recognized by Houjing's senior management, and she is currently seeking more subsidies. How could she slip up at the critical moment?
But Qu Jianlei said he was helpless because he really didn't have time to write.
But in the final analysis, it still gives too little and does not respect knowledge enough.
Dai Xingyan didn't want to force him, so she asked simply: When will you be free?
Qu Jianlei thought about Bentley's complaints and replied sternly: Within the next year, there will probably be no time.
The acting president wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.
Three days later, Bentley returned, this time injured and with a broken right arm.
This time he went to Qianjing, but the reason why he did not take action was that it had not rained and the security in Qianjing was very good.
Finally, when it rained, he took action decisively in the rainy night and got the job done.
Both of them died in his hands, and he also killed eight bodyguards.
As for how his arm was broken, he just said vaguely: He was a bit underestimating the enemy at the beginning.
Anyway, the Wastelanders were all very tough, so he went into the city again the next day and told Dai Xingyan that the two people were dead.
He still had the identity certificates of the two people in his hand, but it was impossible to bring these into the city, otherwise he would probably be asking for trouble.
In the afternoon, the acting president came to the door in person. After examining the evidence, he picked up his mobile phone and called.
Not long after, someone drove up in a car with large and small bags of cultivation supplies.
At a glance, compared to ten thousand silver dollars... it should be a lot more.
Qu Jianlei wanted to be polite, but Bentley accepted it immediately.
But before Dai Xingyan left, she still asked, "Are you really not going to continue writing articles?"
Bentley responded proactively, "If there is a murder business, we can continue to take it..."
"Let's forget about writing articles. Look, he has been writing for so long. How much money has he made from this one deal in total?"
Dai Xingyan was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, turned around and left.
Bentley also made a lot of money during his trip to Beijing.
In his words: There is one advantage in the settlement below, all banknotes can be used directly.
Unlike Central City, large banknotes are directly linked to personal identity and cannot be used even if they are robbed.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: Is there still an anti-money laundering mechanism in the wasteland?
However, even with a lot of extra wealth, the financial pressure for the three of them to practice together is still quite high.
Qu Jianlei still has to take on some maintenance work from time to time in order to relieve the pressure.
Dai Xingyan did a good job in this regard. Although the other party no longer wrote papers, he still took care of the chores he could take care of.
She also contacted some maintenance businesses in Taidu. This was the Dai family's thanks for their help in getting rid of two enemies.
But Qu Jianlei felt that going to Taidu was too troublesome, and the other two were unwilling to interrupt their practice, so they had no choice but to drop the matter.
Time flies, and it’s autumn again in the blink of an eye.
On this morning, in a house in Central City, a middle-aged man was flipping through a journal and let out a sudden sigh.
"Mechanical Mystery actually quoted an article from Mechanical Quest... Are you so hopeless?"
Then he rang the call bell, waited for someone to come over and asked, "What's going on?"
The person who came here was his student, and he also had considerable attainments in mechanics.
The student took one look at it and then laughed, "This is Jian Lei's article... He is a newbie, very interesting."
He is not like a teacher who only sees mechanical mysteries. He is at an age where he is eager to learn knowledge and he also reads other journals.
I must admit that other journals are indeed much worse, and the process of digging for gold in the sand is quite torturous.
It was precisely because of this that he remembered the name Jian Lei.
This author should be considered prolific, but all the articles he writes are at least worth reading.
"Residents of Tianzi District?" A trace of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "This is rare. Where are his other articles?"
The student went out, and not long after, he brought in a pile of journals, "eight articles in total."
The middle-aged man first picked up "Mechanical Exploration" and looked at the article about sensor bypass utilization.
After reading it, he shook his head and sighed softly, "It's an idea, but... alas."
Then he read the author's other articles. After reading them, he closed his eyes and thought for a while before speaking slowly.
"Having ideas and going to low-level residential areas is very rare...the key is to be very productive."
The student replied softly, "He hasn't submitted a manuscript for eight months."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man looked through the journal again, "It turns out that it can be more productive...why not submit it?"
The student didn't know why, but he waited until the afternoon to find out the news.
"More than one publication asked, and it is said that the other party... felt that the income was low."
"Find someone to send a message and ask him to continue writing," the middle-aged man said indifferently, "and the subsidy will come from my fund pool."
When the student heard this, he was immediately stunned, "You think so highly of him?"
"The key is the wild maintenance technician," the middle-aged man's eyes flashed, "the breadth of his thinking exceeds that of the academics."
When the student heard this, he was a little unconvinced, "He may not be from Tianzi District."
"The important thing is that the ideas are wild," the middle-aged man shook his head, "It doesn't cost much anyway, so let's give it a try."

Chapter 134: Robbery and plunder (Second update: Congratulations to Mozi, the lord of Meng)
On this day, Qu Jianlei and the others were practicing behind closed doors when Dai Xingyan came to the door.
With a beaming look on her face, she said, "Master Jian Lei, Mechanical Mystery has requested a draft from you."
"Not "Mechanical Quest"?" Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, I made too little money."
The feeling of being rejected for his first submission was still fresh in his memory, so he didn't feel resentful about it, but it wasn't a good memory either.
But the most important thing is that the money given is too little.
"This invitation was supported by Central City's funds," Dai Xingyan said happily.
"As long as the quality of the manuscript passes the standard, you can get a reward of at least five hundred silver dollars, and you can also participate in the annual selection."
"Coupled with the subsidy from me, it's not a big problem to earn three thousand for a ten-page manuscript."
"Mechanical Mystery" has a subsidy of 100 per page, and Dai Xingyan also promised to double the subsidy from her own pocket.
Plus the starting reward of 500, and the royalties... it's really almost 3,000.
But what Qu Jianlei was thinking was, "Do I need to write more than ten pages?"
For him, this number of words is a bit too much, and it would take about ten or eight days to write and sort it out.
This kind of profit is not enough to make Bentley nag anymore, but the efficiency is not much higher.
Dai Xingyan replied seriously, "It is indeed such a request. Central City's financial support cannot only be one or two pages."
"And once you are rated as outstanding in the previous year, more rewards will be given out."
Qu Jianlei is really not very interested in award judging, but the acting president has always taken good care of them, which is also true.
So he could only say, "The length of the article does not necessarily represent the depth of the theory."
"Of course I know this," Dai Xingyan said that she is not an outsider.
However, there is one thing she must point out, "But you have to understand that we are just people from the residential area, and we are born shorter than the central city."
"Short length is not necessarily bad, but to write a long piece, you must first have a correct attitude."
"Attitude..." Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else. People can't help themselves in the world.
However, for this next task, you still need to think about what to write.
Finally, he decided to write "Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling".
Regarding the process of garbage disposal, no one has more say than him from Blue Star.
Strictly speaking, no country has studied this more than its home country. Other powerful countries simply export their garbage.
Qu Jianlei knew in his heart that the content of this article was actually not suitable for publication in "Mechanical Mystery".
But what he cared about was not the mere 500 reward for appearing in any magazine. He really didn't like it.
As long as the article of more than ten pages is completed, he will be able to replace the president.
Even if it is just published in "Mechanical Exploration", Dai Xingyan will give him a thousand yuan subsidy.
Because he was relatively familiar with the processes and concepts of garbage disposal, this manuscript really didn’t take long.
In just three days, he completed the writing and polishing.
On the morning of the fourth day, Bentley entered the city with the manuscript.
The old man was actually quite annoyed that Qu Jianlei was returning to his old business, but this time it was short and he made a lot of money, so he didn't care.
But he didn't treat it as an important matter. He was busy with his intelligence work and purchased a wave of supplies before going to find Dai Xingyan.
He knew very well that if Qu Jianlei wrote this article too quickly, it would inevitably arouse the little girl's ambition again.
So I came over to deliver it later... is there anything wrong with it?
He came to see Dai Xingyan in the afternoon, and she happened to be away. He said hello to the assistant of the acting president, handed over the manuscript and turned around to leave.
The assistant knew that this was Jian Lei's manuscript, so he didn't ask any more questions. During the past few days when Jian Lei refused to submit the manuscript, the president was in a very bad mood.
She glanced at the title and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth... "Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling"?
What the president is fighting for for you should be Central City's support for submitting articles on mechanical mysteries, right? You just write something like this?
She really couldn't figure out how this kind of manuscript could be published in "Mechanical Mystery"?
However, she didn't dare to ask any more questions about this matter. She opened the president's room, put the manuscript on the table, then left and closed the door.
Not long after, someone came to see the president again. It was Tanaka Yoshi, the president of the Maintenance Engineers Association in Taidu, and his son Tanakaichi.
The assistant knew that these two were untouchable, especially Tanaka Yi, who was also the president of Tianzi District.
In fact, she knew that the president had not been in the association often these past two days, and she just wanted to avoid these two people.
The reason is also very simple. Tanaka has fallen in love with Dai Xingyan and wants to become a partner with her.
But this guy is not only more than 20 years older, but he also looks a little hip-hungry and cannot be used.
As for the fact that he was married before, but Dai Xingyan was not, it doesn't matter in the wasteland, since his wife is dead anyway.
Dai Xingyan looked down on him, so the father, Tanaka Yi, became anxious and came to Houjing to discuss with her in person.
The acting president was too lazy to tell them more, so he simply avoided going out to meet them, it didn't matter, the main thing was to worry about the entanglement.
But now that they are here, the assistant can only let them enter the president's room and wait.
Anyone else would definitely not be treated like this, but Tanaka Yi is the boss of the entire Tianzi District Maintenance Engineers Association.
Even if the Dai family has a strong background, they cannot ignore these rules.
Entering Dai Xingyan's room, Tan Zhong Yi didn't dare to move, but Tan Zhong Yi had no scruples and looked around.
When the son saw how unscrupulous I was, he gradually became more courageous and picked up a manuscript.
""Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling"?" He almost laughed out loud when he saw this title.
After looking at it for a few times, Tanakaichi's eyes lit up, "Huh? This thing is interesting."
Then he raised his hand, put the manuscript into his arms, and conveniently tore off the author's name on it.
It was almost time to get off work and Dai Xingyan hadn't come back yet. The father and son couldn't be so shameless as to get up and leave.
After walking out of the door, Tanakaichi took out the manuscript and said, "Old man... do you think this has any clue?"
"You are so brave," Tanaka Yi glanced at his son, "How dare you take anything?"
Then he glanced at the title and smiled disdainfully, ""Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling"...garbage!"
Tanakaichi insisted, "Dad, I think there is something going on here."
"Then take a look back," Tanaka Yoshi said, not wanting to train his son, "leave now."
The father and son returned to the hotel room, and Tanaka Yoshicai took the manuscript and started reading it.
At first, he glanced at it casually, but as he looked at it, his expression gradually became solemn.
Seeing a certain moment, he closed the manuscript and looked at the cover, "Hey, there is actually... no author?"
"I tore off the author's name," Tanaka replied casually, "This manuscript is mine now. Do you think it can be approved?"
There was a lot of energy in the family, so he could take things by force so casually that he didn't need to consider the reaction of the little people at all.
If this article is vetoed by my father, then the matter is over.
As for whether the other party knew that the article was lost and would write another one, he didn't care at all.
Even though the place where he obtained this article was in Dai Xingyan's office.
"There will definitely be no problem in passing the manuscript," Tanaka Yi said without thinking too much.
"Well, it can be placed in "Mechanical Quest", which has a forward-looking section... suitable for this article."
"Mechanical Exploration?" Tanaka's face lit up with joy when he heard this, "I haven't been in this journal yet, Dad, is it really possible?"
"As long as I say yes," Tanaka Yi replied proudly, and then he realized something was wrong.
"But you took this manuscript from that girl Dai Xingyan's room..."
However, Tanakaichi's idea was very right. He said very simply, "I didn't take it, I wrote this article!"
"Dai Xingyan has to go through a lot of trouble. The most important thing is to compensate him with some money... He is just a small person. Ten or eight silver dollars are not enough?"
"Well..." Tanaka Yi is a little older after all, "The Dai family is not easy to mess with. It's best to solve it with money."
"Is our family easy to mess with?" Tanaka smiled nonchalantly, "If she doesn't want to marry me, why should I give her face?"
"If she can change her mind, it wouldn't be a problem for me to compensate her with more money. Anyway, I will decide on this article!"
Hearing that he could be featured in "Mechanical Quest", he was determined to swallow this article.
Seeing that his father was still a little hesitant, he added, "And look at this rubbish headline... will she like this article?"
Tanaka Yi thought about it and then nodded, "That's true. Fortunately, you are more thoughtful."
Tanakaichi's thoughts are very dark, but his judgment on the title of the article is still very accurate.
Dai Xingyan's assistant didn't think it was a good article, but he didn't say anything wrong.
Anyway, the president had the president's idea, so she put the article on the table and completed the task.
Dai Xingyan did not expect Qu Jianlei to write the article so quickly.
She will never rush the other person, because if they are willing to agree to it, it will be considered a great honor.
Not to mention that this is still a long draft of a mechanical mystery, and with Central City's support funds, Jian Lei will have to think about it for a while, right?
Another month passed uneventfully.
On this day, Dai Xingyan saw a familiar name in the latest "Mechanical Quest", "Tan Zhong Yi's manuscript?"
She had a very bad feeling towards Tanaka Kazuchi, mainly because she disliked his character, but his mechanical maintenance ability was pretty good.
However, he is mainly strong in practical skills, and is far inferior in theory... His article was actually published in "Mechanical Exploration"?
Looking at the title, it turns out that it’s “Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling”. What kind of bullshit is this?
But Dai Xingyan was not the kind of person to be preconceived in academic matters, so she still read it roughly.
Then, she looked more and more seriously, and in the end, she couldn't help but frown.
"Is this guy's thinking... so open now? I have always underestimated him before?"
