Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2543: Chapter 2535: The Trickster

Feng Jun made the decision quite casually, but Yi Jue was somewhat frustrated, "Do we have to use the Rain Prayer Array for another day?"

She didn’t mention the cost or the wasted time — for someone at the Nascent Soul Peak, time is both worthless and precious.

Worthless, in the sense that during their seclusion, decades to centuries pass in the blink of an eye.

Precious, in the sense that if such a big boss decides to make an appearance, inviting them to preside for a day or two isn’t just about Spirit Stones.

Han Hai True Sage and Wei Sancai are both True Sages, stationed at the Xin Mo Plate for nearly a month, while Feng Jun roamed around freely — was this a matter of money?

So Yi Jue was expressing her slight displeasure with such words.

Feng Jun picked up on her discontent, and he quickly responded, "With the Rain Prayer Array running, we can still do other things."

"No need for that," Yi Jue gave the impression of being very hard to approach, but those who truly knew her understood she was actually quite agreeable, "The Rain Prayer Array running for too long might attract attention or even attacks from the Insect Race, better keep an eye on it."

"I actually overlooked that, my apologies," Feng Jun admitted candidly, then he withdrew his Divine Sense and silently watched the people and machines transporting ahead.

He Runxian didn’t leave, he stayed there with him. Gradually, the rain eased but didn’t stop.

By evening, he finally asked, "Want to eat something?"

Feng Jun thought about it and responded in a heavy tone, "No, let me treat you, you’re already short on food."

Even though we’re low on food, we’re not lacking this much, He Runxian was about to speak when the mecha beside him suddenly rushed off.

When the mecha returned, it wasn’t just one, but two. Yi Jue came along with Feng Jun, after all, the Rain Prayer Array was only twenty miles away, she could keep an eye on it.

The sky was almost completely dark, the base was brightly lit and still moving goods. Some beams of light swept around, but after He Runxian’s reminder, no one dared aim directly at them.

Yi Jue carried a large combat box in her hand, the box opened to reveal various outdoor cooking items, even a sun umbrella and folding tables and chairs, naturally, a gas stove was also included.

"You guys..." He Runxian was a bit dumbfounded, "No ammo and energy blocks in a field operation?"

"We have our own plans," a female voice came out, then Yi Jue opened the mecha and stepped out.

She wore a combat suit and had made some slight adjustments to her appearance, but her figure didn’t change; her aesthetics were similar to Feng Jun’s, not considering robust as beautiful.

The moment he saw her, He Runxian was slightly stunned, "Such a beautiful female warrior!"

Beauty, in fact, transcends; although Yi Jue’s appearance didn’t conform to the Federation’s aesthetics, her facial features were perfectly proportioned.

Yi Jue ignored him, lit the gas stove, and glanced at Feng Jun, "Shall we have some tea first?"

"Let’s just have some," Feng Jun also stepped out of the mecha, the sky was dark, making it harder for the base to detect his personal vital signs, "Hotpot for dinner?"

"Okay," Yi Jue took out water to boil, ignored He Runxian, and then took out tea leaves and utensils.

The two of them weren’t worried about revealing anything through these utensils, the Human Federation was so vast, the utensils used in different places varied widely, even plants similar to tea leaves came in many varieties, with different tastes.

The tea Yi Jue took out had very weak Spiritual Energy, but the flavor was decent, she didn’t care much about the Spiritual Energy, it was just a way to satisfy her palate when idle.

He Runxian originally didn’t dare to leave the mecha, but seeing a "frail woman" daring to venture out alone, he climbed out of the mecha too, sniffing the air, "Smells good."

"Does it? Then you should try it later," Feng Jun gestured, "Director He, come sit under the sun umbrella, the rain is still quite heavy."

"It’s much better now, at least it’s natural rain, not the acidic rain from the bugs," He Runxian walked under the sun umbrella, sized up Feng Jun and Yi Jue, "You two... are quite slim."

It’s not just about being slim, from the Federation’s aesthetic point of view, they seemed fragile, like a Magan, how could they fight?

Previously, He Runxian had seen Feng Jun, but didn’t pay attention to his size. Now, seeing their physique, he couldn’t help but think of the term "Super Gene Warrior" — is this the direction of their modification?

"Does size matter? The key is being able to fight," Feng Jun smiled nonchalantly, then pointed at Yi Jue, "She can handle a dozen of you easily, Director He."

"Really?" Director He chuckled, he was quite interested in chatting with this female warrior, but she clearly didn’t seem inclined to talk with him, so he didn’t want to make a fool of himself either, "Which of you is stronger?"

Yi Jue still remained silent, and Feng Jun pointed with his hand, "Of course, she is... huh, is that the city’s convoy arriving?"

In the distance, a string of car lights blazed, moving quickly and forming a battle formation.

He Runxian glanced at it, then shook his head, "This is the military convoy. Hopefully, they will be sensible."

Yi Jue finally spoke, her tone extremely cold, "It’s not about being sensible, it’s about not seeking death... Isn’t living well enough?"

Upon hearing this, He Runxian looked at her deeply, then stood up and walked out from under the Sun Umbrella, briskly heading towards the distant bodyguards and muttering softly.

The two of them, Feng Jun, didn’t need to pay attention and knew what he was talking about. But this wasn’t a bad thing either; with such a formidable enemy ahead, why should the Human Race have internal conflicts? It’s best to prevent problems before they occur.

Soon after, a searchlight scanned over, and Feng Jun grabbed the laser gun next to him, raising his hand to fire a shot.

The gunshot extinguished the light, then he grabbed the loudspeaker and snorted coldly, "If there’s a next time, it won’t just be the light that’s shot!"

Given his stance, the other party naturally knew what to do. The military, though a violent machine, also values order and discipline. Shortly, someone spoke with a loudspeaker, "Director He, I’m Muller, I wish to visit your esteemed guest. May I come over?"

Before He Runxian could speak, Feng Jun coldly stated, "Get lost!"

"Sir, speaking like that is a bit excessive, isn’t it?" Muller was a Lieutenant Colonel, and he coldly said, "I respect you as a guest from afar, willing to discuss politely with you, but your arrogance reaches this level, is this truly provocation?"

"Without us, you wouldn’t be able to approach the base, would you?" Feng Jun’s voice sounded a bit uninterested, "Honestly, move your things and remember... you have only two days and a night."

Muller wasn’t really a reckless novice. Seeing the other’s firm words, he could only sigh, "Lao He, then come over here once."

He Runxian also sighed, stood up, climbed into the mecha, and left, returning shortly without speaking.

Muller had been his poker buddy before, and they had a good relationship. But if the other wanted him to introduce the Porsche pair... how could that be? When he returned, he wasn’t even interested in conveying the request.

After a period of silence, he picked up his teacup, sipped lightly, and couldn’t help but praise, "Good tea, where is this produced?"

Feng Jun ignored him, and Yi Jue ignored him even more. After a while, He Runxian couldn’t help but complain, "I say, we’re keeping this a secret too?"

"You know it’s a secret, and still you ask?" Feng Jun gave him a glance, "Just drink if you can, soon you won’t find any, and if I tell you the origin... do you think that’s really a good thing for you?"

He Runxian seriously thought for a moment, then nodded, "That’s true, some things... it’s better not to know than to know."

Yi Jue was preparing hotpot, listening to this, couldn’t help but roll her eyes secretly: How hadn’t she noticed before; this guy is quite skilled at lying?

Next was the hotpot meal. The base ingredients were ready-made, the dipping sauce was ready-made, and the meat and vegetables were ready-made. He Runxian watched coldly, muttering in his heart: Some of these vegetables... are really unfamiliar.

However, this is a characteristic of the star era. On different planets, the animals and plants that can be eaten are indeed diverse, especially many niche-flavored foods that, apart from the locals, few can recognize.

But what surprised He Runxian the most was that he recognized one thing, "You two actually use chopsticks? That’s... only a few places use them, aren’t you afraid of revealing your background?"

"Using chopsticks is just relatively civilized, on the battlefield, of course, you use a knife and fork," Feng Jun smiled indifferently then pointed at the meat in the pot, "Do you know what meat this is?"

"No, and I don’t want to know," He Runxian shook his head like a rattle drum, "Anyway, it’s delicious."

"It’s Flying Centipede meat," Feng Jun smiled at him, "Haven’t you eaten it before?"

"What?" He Runxian was greatly shocked, "This thing... this thing is poisonous, how could you do this?"

For the Human Race in this world, most insect meat is poisonous, so after killing insects, humans can only turn them into fertilizer or something, even though they know insect meat contains high energy, it truly can’t be eaten.

But for cultivators like Feng Jun, the insect’s corpse isn’t poisonous, rather it’s imbued with this world’s incense, if the world’s natives eat insects, they’re definitely subject to the incense’s backlash. This backlash is subtle, but ordinary people generally can’t accept it.

As for those from outside worlds, they’re not bound by this world’s rules, eating this is instead highly nourishing.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue didn’t have the interest to harm He Runxian, these incense traces can be refined using Spiritual Energy, and their refinement of Spiritual Energy is undetectable to ordinary people.

So Feng Jun smiled indifferently, "Specially treated, eat with confidence, if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t need such trouble."

Upon hearing this, He Runxian’s eyes brightened again, "You can actually process insect meat... it’s already this advanced?"

"The cost of processing is high, and we don’t eat it casually," Feng Jun casually answered him, "Today is only to entertain Director He, otherwise we wouldn’t waste it like this."

Yi Jue’s mouth twitched slightly: Truly a liar without drafts.
