Chapter 167 Forgotten Harvest-168 Mantis and Oriole End)
Chapter 167 The Harvest of Forgotten (Third Update)
How many did you find? Jamali frowned and said, "There is only one in total."
Qu Jianlei was stunned, "Only one?"
The inspector looked at him strangely, then nodded, "It's really just one. In order to investigate clearly, I killed many people."
After a pause, he said frankly, "Actually, I'm also curious about whether Terry can directly use crystals to practice."
"So I pay close attention to the crystallization, and I will definitely not miss anything."
That's good! Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. Bentley had more than twenty B-grade crystals in his hand, and a "merely" nine A-grade crystals.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to lose a B-grade crystal. Maybe it was what Bentley planned to use for his cultivation.
However, all the crystals used for cultivation were thrown away, which shows how urgent the situation was at that time.
Seeing him nod, Jamali finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and then looked at him again.
This glance made him stunned immediately, "Are you... B-level?"
He had something on his mind, and after talking for a long time, he didn't notice that Qu Jianlei's aura had changed.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered calmly, "I don't know if it's Class B. My philosophy of cultivation...is different from that of ordinary people."
Jamali tentatively asked, "What's the difference? Can you tell me about it?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently and said nothing, but the meaning was already obvious.
I'm in such a bad mood right now, why do you want to ask me about such a sensitive matter?
Seeing this, Jamali could only say angrily, "Okay, you can adjust it first...contact us if you need anything."
In the next three months, there was still no news from Tianzi District.
It’s okay if there is no news about Bentley and Hua Xiezi. These two were originally very good at cheating, but there is no news about the person who took action.
Qu Jianlei had been calculating the calculations in a leisurely manner, and he didn't seem to be in any hurry.
But Xiao Moshan couldn't hold it any longer.
After he learned the cultivation method from Jian Lei, the effect was very obvious.
Although he also paid five B-grade crystals, he still felt that he needed to do something.
He is a warrior with the wind attribute, so it is not too convenient to find out the information, and then come back to find Qu Jianlei.
"The two forces that are most suspected are the Douglas family and the Andre family."
The Andre family is the previous family of Frost Wolf. Because of the death of Frost Wolf, they once investigated everywhere in Central City.
Qu Jianlei was curious, "The Douglas family... what does this mean?"
Xiao Moshan replied, "I'm also curious about what it has to do with his family. I heard that an ultimate warrior went to Tianzi District, but there is no news yet."
This soldier went there under a pseudonym, but he used this pseudonym quite often, so he was remembered by others.
Normally no one cares about this, but now any clues need to be carefully investigated.
Then he investigated carefully and found that the Douglas family was very low-key recently.
Xiao Moshan has a straightforward personality, but inquiring about information is his specialty, so he is naturally not lacking in attentiveness.
The B-class soldier died not long ago, so keeping a low profile is inevitable, but this loose outside and tight inside... what's going on?
He stared at it for three consecutive nights and discovered a detail: two of the family's ultimate warriors seemed to be missing from Douglas's house.
The person with a pseudonym who disappeared before was not a family warrior, but just a member of their family's power.
These two missing people are both pure members of the family, and one of them is about to be promoted to an elder.
Someone in the family mentioned that these two people had not seen each other for a long time, so some people refused to talk about it, saying that they were practicing behind closed doors.
The Douglas family, including its forces, only has a dozen ultimate warriors in total, and three of them disappeared at once. This is definitely not a small matter.
Then Xiao Moshan discovered that the Douglas family was secretly colluding with some close forces and was planning something unknown.
It's just that he can't figure out why this family has any reason to take action against Terry.
Could it be that you have fallen in love with the cultivation method with electromagnetic properties? You shouldn’t. Who dares to step into such a big pit?
After listening to what he said, Qu Jianlei frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
"By the way, do you have any B-grade crystals? I'll buy a few."
Xiao Moshan looked at him in surprise, "You have a lot of B-grade crystals on your hands, right?"
This guy was originally a wind attribute, and he was particularly concerned about Qu Jianlei's movements. There was almost nothing he didn't know.
"I've been using it more recently," Qu Jianlei replied seriously.
When he came to Central City, he brought nine B-level crystals with him, and later got a dozen more crystals one after another.
However, I had previously calculated the wind attribute cultivation, and recently calculated the spells. I still have to practice them myself, and I have used up most of them.
Now, he only has four B-level ones left in his hand. Although he still has two A-level ones, he doesn't plan to use them for the time being.
As a person with a poor sense of security, he felt that four B-grade crystals were a bit too few.
And the calculation method is really very expensive.
"Tsk," Xiao Moshan smacked his lips in distress, "Are ten pills enough?"
"That's enough for the time being," Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, "How much does one pill cost?"
The price of B-grade crystals in Central City is approximately 6,000 to 8,000 silver dollars each. The specific price depends on the condition of the product.
His funds are a bit tight, but since we are neighbors, it is not difficult to pay in installments, right?
"I'll charge you half the price, thirty-five thousand," Xiao Moshan said happily. "No matter how much it is, it will be difficult for you to come up with."
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "You have already figured out all my possessions."
Xiao Moshan answered directly, "I'll leave you with living expenses, but this is half price, but there is a reason."
"It should be," Qu Jianlei nodded, there shouldn't be love without reason in the world.
"Think of it as earnest money," Xiao Moshan said without hesitation, "When I reach B level, help me perfect my skills."
"No problem," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "But when the time comes, I will still collect what should be collected."
Xiao Moshan laughed when he heard this. It was really rare for him to be serious about his words. "It's a deal!"
It can be felt that he also likes Qu Jianlei's character.
The next night, Xiao Moshan brought ten B-grade crystals.
Qu Jianlei's total banknotes were just over 30,000 yuan, but he still had three kilograms of gold.
The price of gold in Central City is very high. One kilogram of gold can be exchanged for three thousand silver dollars.
That's why Xiao Qin said at the beginning that the price of gold in Central City was not what he imagined.
Qu Jianlei felt a bit toothache when he remembered that he had exchanged a lot of gold at the price of one thousand silver dollars per kilogram.
But... there's nothing I can do about it? I pointed to that emergency at that time, but it's pointless to think about it now.
So he took out two kilograms of gold, and then counted twenty-nine thousand silver notes.
"Huh?" Xiao Moshan's sharp eyes saw something in the safe. He raised his finger and asked, "Can you take a look?"
Qu Jianlei took a look and saw that he had opened the treasure chest and found a black ring with a mysterious pattern on it.
He once thought about the ring. It can be placed with a hundred kilograms of gold. It is obviously not an ordinary thing.
According to the exchange price in Central City, one hundred kilograms of gold can be exchanged for three hundred thousand silver dollars, which can buy forty or fifty B-grade crystals.
But he never figured it out. Later, his curiosity gradually wore off and he stopped studying.
Qu Jianlei did not express his position directly, but asked curiously, "What do you suspect it is?"
Xiao Moshan thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Forget it, maybe I guessed wrong, but let me get started. It's suitable. I'm willing to use these ten crystals in exchange."
Qu Jianlei did not refuse, but said, "I'll think about it... If you can tell the truth, the possibility will greatly increase."
Xiao Moshan shook his head indifferently, "This truth... I can't tell you. If you know it, it won't be good for you."
After the transaction was completed, Qu Jianlei asked the other party, "Where did you get so many B-grade crystals? Did you rob the canyon's warehouse?"
Xiao Moshan looked at him in astonishment, "How did you know?"
I walked over, and Qu Jianlei was a little surprised. Is this guy so powerful? "I just said it casually."
"I'm taking revenge," Xiao Moshan replied angrily, "I'm really not a money-minded person."
"You can feel it," Qu Jianlei nodded seriously, "You can feel it at half the price."
"Haha," Xiao Moshan laughed dryly and said with some self-deprecation, "The two are just joining the group to keep warm."
After he left, Qu Jianlei thought about the ring in the safe, but still suppressed the urge to think about it.
There is no way, there is a peeping tom around, which makes people very helpless - what if the noise is louder?
Anyway, once the obsessive-compulsive disorder comes, he can control himself not to think about it.
After another ten days, half of the ten crystals I just bought were consumed.
Huge consumption brought about output, and Qu Jianlei finally perfected the third technique.
He is a person who is very good at forbearing, but with three magic techniques in hand, he really can't resist the idea of giving it a try.
The spell cannot be tested in a small courtyard, or even in the city. You must find a place where no one is around.
After lunch, he planned to drive away.
But as soon as he got in the car, he walked out again, returned to the house, opened the safe, and took out the black ring.
Seeing the Grade B crystals next to him, he turned his head and thought about it, grabbed three of them, and put them in his pocket.
When testing spells, you must use inner breath. If you encounter any danger, crystals can help you recover quickly.
Using crystals in this way is too luxurious and will cause certain damage to the body, but... who makes him feel insecure?
Just as he was leaving, Xiao Moshan in the restaurant also put down his kitchen knife.
"I've almost finished chopping the vegetables, but suddenly something happened and I asked for half a day off."
He has always worked conscientiously as a cook and never asked for leave. Only when one person can fulfill three roles can he become a member of the boss's team.
It's really not a big deal to suddenly take a temporary leave. Some people even asked with a smile, "Have you found a girlfriend?"
Xiao Moshan didn't answer, pushed out a motorcycle and started it, hanging Qu Jianlei's off-road vehicle in the distance.
It wasn't that he wanted to do anything, he was just out of curiosity: Why did this guy suddenly go out?
What Xiao Moshan didn't notice was that two or three minutes later, at least three more motorcycles were hung up behind him.
——————
Chapter 168 The Mantis and the Oriole (Fourth update)
Qu Jianlei drove an off-road vehicle and didn't pay much attention to whether there was anyone following him, which was a bit rare for him.
In fact, he still looks in the rearview mirror from time to time, just as a matter of routine.
All his thoughts were focused on the three arts, and he was really eager to try them.
Moreover, everyone who should know about his name in the Inspectorate knows about it. Who dares to take action against him in the city in broad daylight?
While driving, he took out the black ring and took a look - after suppressing his curiosity for more than ten days, he couldn't help it anymore.
More than five hundred meters behind, Xiao Moshan's attention was entirely focused on him.
However, he was wearing a helmet and the other person's car windows were closed, so he couldn't sense the other person's behavior very accurately.
But he could still feel the general situation and knew that the guy was looking at something from his pocket.
Under the helmet, he couldn't help but smile, "I thought you weren't really curious."
Five or six hundred meters behind him, three motorcycles were covering each other, taking turns to come forward, staring at the off-road vehicle.
There were really too many motorcycles on the road. Xiao Moshan didn't notice the motorcycle behind him, and the three motorcycles didn't notice him either.
Qu Jianlei drove for more than an hour and finally reached the outskirts. The crowds and vehicles on the road gradually became scarce.
Seeing this, Xiao Moshan slowly reduced his speed and stared at him from almost a kilometer away.
The same was true for the three motorcycles behind them. They actively slowed down and were about two kilometers away from the off-road vehicle.
Qu Jianlei noticed the motorcycle behind him, but he had no doubts. It was just a road like this. He could walk on it, but others couldn't?
In fact, after leaving the city, there are not too many motorcycles on the road.
After driving for another hour, there were basically no people around.
Qu Jianlei saw a gentle slope on the roadside and a forest in the distance. He drove down the gentle slope and headed straight for the woods.
One kilometer away, Xiao Moshan's speed did not slow down and he was still moving straight along the road. He must not be followed.
But the next moment, his attention turned to his back - he had to be careful in his actions so that others wouldn't notice anything unusual.
However, when he looked behind him, he noticed something was wrong: those three motorcycles... were a little strange.
But he didn't react at all. Instead, he slightly increased the accelerator and sped away without stopping when passing by a gentle slope.
Qu Jianlei parked the car by the woods and took a special look behind him, but found nothing unusual.
Seeing him entering the woods, one of the three motorcycles slowed down slightly, and someone on the back seat called through a radio.
"The target got out of the car and entered the woods! The target got out of the car and entered the woods!"
"If you receive it, please reply. If you receive it, please reply!"
"Copy that," a voice came from the mobile phone, "You will leave in an orderly manner, repeat this, you will leave in an orderly manner."
Qu Jianlei entered the woods, took out the ring and felt it first, and then felt it with his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "I'm going to do it, that's not the case!"
He was surprised to find that there was actually space inside the ring... This was the legendary storage ring!
He really couldn't imagine it, "This thing actually, actually, actually..."
He clearly traveled through a wasteland, and there were also high-tech weapons such as pre-apocalyptic mechas and gauss guns.
It can be said that The Ultimate Warrior involves genetic modification, but why does a storage ring appear?
"This wasteland is not the wasteland I imagined."
But his heart was big enough, and the next moment, he began to observe the inside.
Perhaps due to a misreading of some fairy novels, he felt that this storage ring... felt a bit small.
It's almost three meters by three meters and over two meters high. It can't even accommodate a larger truck.
Half of the space inside is filled with neatly stacked boxes, which you can tell are energy blocks at a glance.
There was nothing else. Qu Jianlei couldn't help but frown, "Why not put the gold in?"
Then he came to his senses and actually put the gold in it. In addition to the house deed and land deed, the only thing in the treasure chest was this ring.
If you do that, the storage ring will be too eye-catching.
"You can put some things in later," Qu Jianlei happily put the ring on his hand.
The energy block inside is another windfall, but there is no doubt that a hundred times the energy block cannot be exchanged for such a storage ring.
When he was excited, his ability to manage his limbs was really poor. He tried to calm down by pinching and performing the technique, and he was forced to calm down for a long time.
By the time he started testing, Xiao Moshan had already touched it.
He hid the motorcycle far away, and used his amazing movement skills to sneak over, even faster than riding a motorcycle.
Xiao Moshan didn't dare to get too close, because in his perception, the opponent had already entered the B-level level.
No matter how confident he was, he didn't think he could beat a B-level warrior, and he didn't want Jian Base to misunderstand him.
Since he had agreed to join the group for warmth, he would not change his intention easily.
Two hundred meters away is the limit, no closer.
Then he was stunned, "Electromagnetic spell... I'll kill it, this guy really has no attributes."
He is very experienced in sensing various attributes, and he had never felt any attributes on Jian Lei before.
But the next moment, Xiao Moshan frowned and looked in another direction in confusion: Is there a wind attribute warrior?
There was something strange about the three motorcycles he was following just now. He had already sensed it. There were five people in total, and they were all wearing helmets.
He could feel that at least three of them were ordinary people, and the other two... were suspected to be reformed warriors.
Some of these five people carry laser pistols, and some carry daggers. Those who carry guns should have gun licenses.
He felt that the size of these five people could not cause much damage to Jian Lei. They were probably the spies of some family.
As a result, it didn’t take long for the ultimate warrior to arrive?
Xiao Moshan, like his opponent, is a C-level wind attribute warrior, but he comes from the canyon, and his method of use is stronger than that of his opponent.
And he was pretty sure that the other party wouldn't be able to sense him.
Do you want to warn Jian Lei? The person who came here doesn't seem to have good intentions.
Xiao Moshan thought about it and decided to wait and see for the time being. He really couldn't explain why he appeared here.
It shouldn't be difficult to deal with a simple C-level wind attribute warrior with a simple barrier, right?
The next moment, he frowned again, "Is this...an earth spell? Did this guy Jian Lei figure out two spells?"
Qu Jianlei really didn't know that he was being stared at by two groups of people. He concentrated on sensing the spell he had deduced.
He calculated three techniques, the first of which was Bentley's "Thunder Dragon" technique.
Bentley didn't even have a way to practice it, let alone the electromagnetic technique. This technique was calculated with the help of Qu Jianlei.
However, Qu Jianlei can only make rough calculations. If he wants to adjust and improve himself, Bente needs to use his talent to perceive and cooperate.
And this Brontosaurus was the same move that Bentley used to almost seriously injure Jamali.
Qu Jianlei understood the essence of Thunder Dragon very well, so the first thing he deduced was this technique.
Unlike Bentley, he does not have the innate attribute of electromagnetism. Bentley can use it immediately, but he has to re-calculate.
But even so, calculating the thunder dragon spell is much simpler than calculating other spells.
Just now he controlled the output and tried it with a very small amount of inner breath, and it felt... it was almost interesting.
After all, his ability to control electromagnetism is a little worse than Bentley's, but there's nothing he can do about it, he doesn't have this talent.
Now that he is B-level, his overall output is definitely better than his original output, but when it comes to details, he cannot be convinced.
Then he began to test the second technique - "Earth Wall Technique".
Why did you choose this one for the second spell... Do you still need to ask? People who have a bad sense of security will of course give priority to defense.
Guessing this technique, Qu Jianlei put in a lot of effort and threw in at least six or seven B-level crystals.
In fact, he could ask Ma Long about how to practice this technique, and the consumption would be reduced a lot.
However, if you really want to grasp the essence of it, it cannot be discussed in a few words.
If he discusses too much with Ma Long, it will definitely arouse the other party's suspicion, right?
Not to mention there is a peeping tom next to his yard, staring at him every day.
Qu Jianlei has a good impression of Xiao Moshan, but who wants to let outsiders take a look at his own trump card?
Anyway, he worked very hard to deduce this technique, and he is still adjusting and testing it constantly.
He did not have the luxury of having to dig out an earthen wall for every test. It was the experimental stage anyway, so an earthen edge would be enough.
Although it is in the wilderness, it is better to keep the noise as small as possible, and the correct way is to develop in an obscene way.
He concentrated on testing for a while, and finally felt that if he continued to adjust, the gains would outweigh the losses.
It is necessary to strive for excellence, but now it seems that... the conditions are not quite met, and a big difference is enough.
During his test, Xiao Moshan had been sensing the wind attribute cultivator on the opposite side.
The other party seemed to know that Jian Lei was not easy to mess with, so he hid four hundred meters away, trying to sense Jian Lei's actions.
How could Xiao Moshan allow such a situation to happen? You want to know about the situation of the simple fortress. Have you asked me?
He quietly used a "particle" technique, which invisibly rolled up some particles to hinder the other party's perception.
The art of particles is unique to the canyon. As for the wind attribute cultivators in Central City... I'm sorry, you are not worthy!
Xiao Moshan used the particle technique without even worrying about the other party finding out. There was a level difference between the two parties in terms of application.
I tested the perception of the interview several times and looked at the frequency. I guess I had no results and I was a little anxious.
However, warriors with wind attributes are all natural scouts. After several attempts without success, they gave up decisively.
Of course, you can increase the intensity, but if you alert the person being spied on, isn't that worth it?
The next moment, Xiao Moshan discovered another abnormality. He could feel that the aura on the other side was also much weaker.
After a little discernment, he laughed silently, "Haha, floating dust technique?"
In Jian Lei's words, the Floating Dust Technique... is actually just a castrated version of the Particle Technique.
