Qu Jianlei's question made the two A-levels look at each other - this guy doesn't even know this?
However, it is normal for most people not to know this relatively unpopular information. No one can know everything.
In particular, this panda is obviously a genius in cultivation. He should be more focused on cultivation, and there is no need to be exposed to a lot of knowledge.
However, this also shows that when this guy went to the Old City Library, he did not pay attention to the ancient books, and his organizational judgment was wrong this time.
As a decision-maker, Hilton could only briefly explain again that the empire had indeed been vigorously exploring talents in the arts.
It is important to point out that the word he used was "excavate" rather than "cultivate".
The divine text is so important that due to information monopoly considerations, the empire will not let too many people know about it.
Then, it is not appropriate to conduct large-scale training and select outstanding talents for further study.
Once the relevant basic information is leaked and spread to society, it will bring too much trouble to the empire.
Therefore, the empire's attitude toward divine and literary talents is: to dig quietly.
There are always some people who are "gifted", including linguistics, cryptography, etc.
Only after these people have demonstrated their talents and are noticed by the empire will they enter the next step of the review process.
The review includes not only personal outlook, family history, loyalty to the empire, etc., but also other considerations.
After the review, there will be tests one after another. There is no need to list the details. Only those who stay at the end will be exposed to the divine text.
It is precisely because divine texts are so important that there are not many sacred texts on each planet.
There is no copy of this book left by Gubenlou in the city library.
Only those who have undergone advanced studies in theology can have access to copies of the book. As for whether to refer to the annotations, that is another matter...
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "In other words, this book is a fragment... and was it intentional by the empire?"
This kind of thing is really easy to judge. If Star No. 2 really has some divine genius, half of the "Three Character Classic" will be enough.
If you want to study more, you can only go to the more core institutions of the empire.
Hilton hesitated and replied, "Star No. 2 is not high in the empire's ranking. The fragments... are not unexpected."
"Stingy," Qu Jianlei shook his head and finally dropped the topic.
Then he made another request, hoping that the other party could help him purchase some formation materials.
Although the ancient book is in pieces, the list of formation materials is still there. Most of the materials are not difficult to purchase, but some of them are relatively expensive.
However, there are four materials that are relatively rare. Not only are they not produced in this star field, Qu Jianlei also doesn't know where to purchase them.
He simply left the two masters alone and left it to the Tufuzi organization.
"There are two types of controlled substances," Hilton frowned, obviously a little embarrassed, but did not express rejection.
What he cares about is: "Instead of letting others complete it, do you do it yourself?"
Qu Jianlei said very straightforwardly, "This is our own business, so I won't bother you."
Hilton's mouth twitched slightly: This is the disadvantage of the transaction. If it is cooperation, the other party is obliged to answer.
The last thing is to hand over the new cultivation method to the other party.
Qu Jianlei made a sealed box with a combination lock and self-destruction, and placed the cultivation booklet inside.
People want clothes as much as they want gold. Even if the goods are sold to a second store, it is necessary to pay attention to the packaging.
The two men accepted the box and the password, but they did not open it as expected.
Instead, the dark-skinned man asked curiously, "What are the attributes of the practice technique you gave me?"
Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "Wind attribute."
The dark-skinned man was obviously a little disappointed when he heard this, "There are very few people who have awakened the wind attribute. Why are they not the top five?"
Qu Jianlei replied leisurely, "Because I know the wind attribute better. As for Wu Da... your price is a bit lower."
In fact, the low price tag is just one aspect. Qu Jianlei is highly wary of the research capabilities of the Tufuzi organization.
The fire attribute has the "Magma Collapse" spell, and the earth attribute has the "Gravity Field" spell, which are both very rare.
He highly doubted that these techniques were developed by the other party themselves.
Qu Jianlei's hometown of China was once very good at "reverse engineering" during the years when technology was backward and blocked.
In his mind, an organization with strong R&D capabilities will certainly not have poor cracking capabilities.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to trade a set of skills, but the other party cracked the version with other attributes. It was a one-time deal.
So he trades this mutated attribute first. If the other party wants to trade the other five attributes, it will be difficult.
Anyway, in his plan, the improved earth-attribute skills should be traded for the last time.
The transaction came to an end, and the dark-skinned man and Hilton stood up to say goodbye.
Qu Jianlei did not relax his guard just because he completed the deal.
It would be bad if the other party just wants to paralyze itself and counterattack. There are too many such examples in Blue Star's history.
On the fourth night, Hilton was alone and delivered the formation materials.
The material is not very expensive, only a few thousand silver dollars.
Qu Jianlei paid the fee directly without bargaining, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: This day, he was sitting on nothing.
Hilton had already said goodbye and walked to the door. He couldn't help but turn around and come back, "Why don't you ask us about our evaluation of the exercises?"
Qu Jianlei really wanted to ask, even if he was very confident, hearing other people's praises could make him feel happy both physically and mentally.
However, he knew very well that he could not take the initiative to ask questions. Whoever spoke first about many things would be passive.
So he answered casually, "There's no need to ask, don't you know what I took out?"
"Seriously, wind-attributed warriors are hard to find. Your organization wants to find a few more people for testing in the short term, which is a bit difficult."
To be honest, he had no intention of ridiculing the other party. Testing is about proving that evidence alone cannot stand, and there must always be a base number.
But Hilton heard what he meant by looking down on him and couldn't help but retort.
"There is no shortage of wind attribute warriors in the organization, but it's just not possible for them all to participate in the test. We also have people who study the techniques..."
He decisively stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, feeling a little annoyed in his heart. He was quick to talk, but he exposed the secrets of the organization.
I knew that was the case! Qu Jianlei shook his head, "You have a certain amount of suspicion and a responsible attitude."
Seeing that he didn't care, Hilton took the initiative to ask, "So, are there any new cultivation methods for the five attributes?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently and did not answer.
"Okay," Hilton spread his hands. He also knew what the other party was waiting for. "Everyone has good comments on the new practice method."
Saying this means basically letting the other party raise the price, but does he have a choice?
Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "It's just not bad? If it's the fifth largest... you'd better be able to afford the corresponding remuneration."
At this moment, Hilton no longer wants to mention any remuneration. Anyway, someone else will come to negotiate with the other party.
What he is more concerned about is, "In other words, the five major attributes... also have corresponding new methods of cultivation?"
Qu Jianlei smiled and said nothing, and after a while he said, "You can ask this again when you have enough chips."
Still looking down on us! Hilton was very angry and left angrily.
He didn't realize that he had put the organization in a relatively weak position, which was why he was so angry.
In the following days, Qu Jianlei gradually relaxed his guard and went to work honestly to fish.
After get off work, in addition to practicing, he also worked hard to learn formation knowledge.
Unfortunately, the formation knowledge provided by the Tufuzi organization was still a bit lacking, and he often had to guess.
The peaceful days passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is another day off, and in the evening is the fifteenth-year-old dinner for Teng Wenli’s youngest daughter, Teng Pingping.
As evening approached, Qu Jianlei tidied up his room and changed into more formal clothes.
Neighbors' gatherings usually involve casual attire, but fifteenth birthday parties place more emphasis on ceremony.
At this moment, someone happened to ring the doorbell, and it was none other than the twin sister Sophia.
She also dressed up carefully. She was dressed luxuriously and elegantly, for a formal banquet.
She said with a smile on her face, "For this kind of formal dinner, you have to bring a female companion...but you don't have one!"
Do you want to bring a female companion? Qu Jianlei really doesn't know this. He is both homely and straight, and never pays attention to this.
Seriously, since Rose was rescued, Sophia would come looking for her every now and then, obviously with some thoughts.
Qu Jianlei was not very polite to her and strictly ordered her not to go to the library to find him. As a result, she came to his home often.
He ignored her twice, but it was of no use, and he didn't bother to deal with her anymore.
Everyone has the right to pursue a better life. Anyway, he has not sent any wrong signals, so let her go.
Today she came up on the pole to be her female companion, and Qu Jianlei didn't refuse.
It’s not that I want to be a man who “doesn’t take the initiative, refuses, or takes responsibility.” The main thing is that for some things, I really need to rely on these local people.
The last time he went to another black market, it was the two sisters who helped him go there.
The two of them were about to leave for Teng Wenli's house when another uninvited guest arrived.
Hilton and a beautiful young woman came, a B-level water attribute warrior.
Qu Jianlei nodded his head when he saw Hilton, "I've said it several times, we won't provide new cultivation methods in the short term."
After the other party knew that he could come up with other cultivation methods, he never stopped harassing him.
Finally, they knew that Mrs. Jia had been looking for a thief, so they didn't dare to go to the library.
Seeing his impatience, Hilton didn't mind - after these days, he had already gotten used to it.
He pointed at the B-level woman and said with a smile, "This is Ms. Xiangxue, a rare genius. She is looking for you."
Xiangxue nodded with a smile, and said hello in a warm and humble manner, "Hello, I've long admired the name of the panda."
"Hello," Qu Jianlei nodded casually, then looked at Hilton, "Is this...the highest relative?"
