In the third month after Qu Jianlei went into seclusion, Jia Shuiqing brought new news from Shuguang Base.
The Empire discovered a place with abnormal space fluctuations a while ago, and wanted to ask Digital Phantom if he would be interested in taking a look.
This time the government was also very honest and directly gave the approximate coordinates.
What surprised Mrs. Jia a little was that the coordinates of this location were actually located in the Maiden Star Territory.
If it were somewhere else, she wouldn't even bother the boss, but the Maiden Star Territory... is really worth paying attention to.
After Qu Jianlei got the coordinates, he immediately asked Xiaohu to calculate it to see if there were any key suspects.
But Xiaohu didn’t just do a rough calculation and say that this coordinate was quite unfamiliar and was not within the team’s focus.
In this case, Qu Jianlei rejected it directly, "Tell the empire that we will not seize the opportunity of the government."
The official advantage is really not that easy to take advantage of. The most important thing is that he is worried that this may be a trap set up by the government.
——If you want to win over someone, the best way is to do what they like!
This time the government is so easy to talk to, so it's better to keep a respectful distance.
Mrs. Jia was not surprised by his reaction, so she nodded, "Then I will follow you quietly and take a look?"
There is really no one in this team who is still old-fashioned. She knows that the boss is no longer interested, but this does not prevent her from following him secretly.
"It's up to you," Qu Jianlei said, not interfering with his teammates' actions. "Don't let others catch you. We have a bottom line."
Hearing this, Jia Shuiqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Boss, your bottom line seems quite flexible."
Qu Jianlei smiled disapprovingly, "You always have to do superficial things, and you have to learn from the official shamelessness."
He definitely doesn't think that he has become bad. He is really forced by the environment. He can't always be a gentleman and be bullied by others, right?
Seven or eight days after Mrs. Jia left, Xiaohu's clone came back and brought new news.
"The Federation launched a counterattack order and formed a death fleet to head to the world of Asura."
Qu Jianlei shook his head and murmured softly, "It seems that we have suffered a big loss. Otherwise, why would we call people from society?"
"It is said that practitioners of the divine system have signed up," Xiao Hu's voice was a little strange, "This is really... imaginative."
Obviously, it does not think this news is true and it is just a stunt.
It is even very likely that it is aimed at Digital Phantom, because everyone knows how obsessed this team is with the divine system.
"Let them do whatever they want," Qu Jianlei said disapprovingly, "As long as they don't use our banner, that's fine."
Xiaohu's voice became even weirder, "There is news that we will also join the death fleet."
Jing Yuexin's face darkened when she heard this, "Who said this?"
"Why are you angry?" Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "It's just to gain popularity. I don't believe anyone dares to impersonate us."
How much price will be paid for pretending to be a digital phantom? The empire has already had more than one ready-made case.
"How can we just let it go!" Jing Yuexin didn't listen to him this time.
She said angrily, "The honor of Digital Phantom cannot be tarnished, and the majesty cannot be offended!"
"That's true," Qu Jianlei nodded, "but for now it's still a matter of spreading rumors, don't take it too seriously."
"If you are serious, you are taking them seriously. This is lowering yourself... If you are serious, you will lose."
"That's right," Jing Yuexin nodded, and then snorted, "But, I'm still angry."
"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded. His mentality was born after being tortured by Blue Star's "traffic is king".
Those who have not gone through this kind of baptism may not be able to bear it.
After a while, Xiaohu and Xizhao went to the alliance again, and they really went crazy.
Unknowingly, Qu Jianlei had been practicing in the fourth Black Horse Pagoda for two years.
Converted to the time in the pagoda, it is nine and a half years. It is truly like "there is no Jiazi in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold weather".
During this period, Xiaohu completed the improvement of the Migratory Locust version of the Qi Gathering Array. The 2.0 version is much stronger than the first generation.
Qu Jianlei's own sea of consciousness has also become much more stable. Although there is still a vague feeling, it is much stronger than before.
On this day, the wandering clone of Xiaohu returned, bringing new news: the world of migratory locusts invaded the Alliance.
Since they killed the two out-of-body mother trees, the alliance has stepped up its campaign against the tree clan, and has achieved considerable results for a time.
But half a year ago, the number of alien forests increased sharply, and thick trees abounded.
The Alliance was also stimulated by the Digital Phantom and is currently developing a new super fire bomb, which is related to space fluctuations.
When Qu Jianlei heard that the alliance was following suit, he couldn't help but mutter, "Have you not suffered enough from artificial intelligence?"
Artificial intelligence is out of control. Isn't it just the result of imitating others, and you are here again?
However, speaking in good conscience, if there are no flaws in the line, it is really difficult to destroy the alien forest sea in large quantities.
As for the out-of-body mother tree, it is even more difficult to deal with.
This time there was a large-scale invasion of the world of migratory locusts. Xiaohu's clone did not find out whether the out-of-body mother tree showed up.
But looking at the momentum, it is estimated that the possibility of the existence of a great master is very high. It is also based on this judgment that the alliance feels like facing a formidable enemy.
Also, the alliance hopes to continue to cooperate with the Digital Phantom to jointly deal with alien races.
For this reason, they actively paid compensation for six regiment-level ships, and they have been taken away by Jia Shuiqing.
However, the imperial military came forward and rejected the alliance's request on its behalf.
Your artificial intelligence attacked the Digital Phantom's battleship, continue to cooperate...what else are you thinking about?
The alliance explains that we cannot control runaway artificial intelligence.
The Imperial Army didn't bother to explain at all - the key was that they didn't want to tell the other party the details, so they just responded with a sneer.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He remembered the saying "the will of the mother world".
He had asked Feng Wangwang before, but the traitor said that he had never heard of this thing.
But then, it shows that this will may really exist objectively.
Otherwise, which trees can advance into the mother tree, and which tree tribes have been suppressed... This requires some explanation.
What Qu Jianlei is thinking about now is this question: Now that the locust world has begun its retaliatory invasion, what is the will of the mother world doing?
He had always believed that whether it was Asura or the Tree Clan, since there were out-of-body masters, there were more than just a few they encountered.
Previously, the team defeated each other in two directions, but those victories were only temporary.
Now that the Locust World is launching a massive counterattack, the Asura World’s counterattack must not be far away.
In this case, they really can't continue to rest.
Otherwise, if the two sides form a pincer attack and want to react, they will be attacked from both sides.
So Qu Jianlei discussed with Jing Yuexin and decided to stop resting and return to the empire.
After returning to Shuguang Base, Qu Jianlei took out the Locust version of the Qi Gathering Formation 2.0 and asked Hua Scorpion to hand it over to the guarding army.
In this way, the team can collect the 10 billion with peace of mind and save the other party from chewing the grain.
After receiving the information, the military first expressed its gratitude, and then informed Hua Xiezi that the alliance was now facing tremendous pressure from alien races.
Hua Scorpion didn't make any response, just sneered.
Immediately afterwards, Paranoid, Mu Yu, Bentley and others also returned from the alliance.
When they left, they made a special trip to the Alliance's livable planet to inquire about the latest situation.
As a result, they unexpectedly learned that the Alliance was recycling the space stones at a high price.
Space stone resources are classified as top secret in the empire. The alliance is relatively loosely organized and has a lower level of confidentiality.
However, the security level of the Space Stone is not low. Now that it is being collected openly, the situation has obviously reached a very critical point.
Moreover, there are widespread rumors in the Alliance that space stones are collected to make space fire bombs.
However, so far, the experiment of the Huozha bomb has been very unsatisfactory, and it is said that many researchers have been killed.
However, Dogan and others believed that this information was not credible.
Since unconventional fires and explosions can occur, it is not far from being put into actual combat.
In the current situation, it is no longer very important whether the fire and bombs are controllable - the idea is only brought to the battlefield.
The worst case scenario is sending in suicide squads to cause a firestorm.
This is also true. The alliance at the moment is being devastated by the research and development of space fire bombs.
Someone suggested that you could consult Digital Phantom and process it on your behalf. After all, aliens are the enemies of all races.
However, the person in charge sighed, "It was originally possible, but now... Oh, don't say it."
He knows the inside story. Digital Phantom has helped the alliance a lot. If he wants to continue to cooperate to deal with the alien race, it is not difficult to operate.
It's a pity that some short-sighted guys actually induced the artificial intelligence to attack that team.
To put it bluntly, these people hate Digital Phantom for not helping deal with artificial intelligence, and want to take revenge.
But now, the revenge has not been successful, but the other party has been offended, and cooperation has become out of reach.
The alliance now wants to kill the person involved, but this matter is really irreversible.
Qu Jianlei and others didn't know, or in other words, even if they knew, they wouldn't care at all.
After the team assembled at Dawn Base, they spent three days preparing supplies and adjusting their status before heading to the Federation.
A few days after they left, someone from the military came again, this time to distribute the bonus for Qi Gathering Formation 2.0.
However, most of the people left, leaving only Xiangxue, Claire and Tianyin who were responsible for guarding.
The military was somewhat surprised to see that it was Claire who came forward.
They had come into contact with this A-level person before, but they still couldn't help but ask, why didn't they see those people this time?
Claire said simply that the main force had left, and as for where they were going...don't ask.
The military visitor hesitated for a moment and then said: I hope you will focus your main attention on the alliance side.
Currently, the Asuras facing the Federation are under much less pressure, and the movements of alien races in the Alliance have already threatened the Empire.
