Big Data Cultivation

Chapter 2557: Chapter 2549: Stubborn as a Bone

Feng Jun put away the cargo ship, and did not go directly to Xingzheng Star, but first made a trip to the Big Planet.

Paying attention to those mining cultivators is secondary; the main thing is he needs to separate the ship from the cargo.

Actually, the separation didn’t take much time. Honestly, there were already several cultivators who couldn’t hold out any longer and wanted to return to White Pebble Beach for a rest. Among the two Golden Core Masters, some also expressed a desire to return to the passage entrance to hand over the ores.

Feng Jun’s response was, these matters I can’t deal with now, wait for a while, probably around ten days, I will return to handle everything together.

When he and Yi Jue returned to Xiajing City, the sky was already dawning, and a large swarm of insects appeared again in the sky above the city. Without rain clouds, the insects were very rampant, attacking recklessly.

Without a word, Feng Jun directly deployed the Rain Prayer Array, while Yi Jue released the Spirit Restoration Array, recovering her spiritual energy.

As the rain clouds reformed, the insects screamed and scrambled out of the city, with two Golden Core insects colliding with each other, one being knocked unconscious and falling to the ground, instantly focused with fire.

Facts proved their reaction was not wrong at all; within ten minutes of the rain starting, the edges of the rain area formed white mist again.

The insects unable to escape had no choice but to desperately attack various buildings of the Human Race—a helpless choice, preferring to damage the enemy before dying rather than attempting to charge through the white mist.

A few insects with some wit tried flying upwards again, breaking through the rain clouds.

It must be said that their choice was indeed good, with the sky already gray, if Yi Jue used Si Ganlin’s Sky River, it would be easily seen by the Insect Race and Federation monitors in outer space.

However, fortunately, few tried that approach, and Yi Jue chose to kill them within thin cloud layers. To the average person, clouds with kilometers of thickness don’t look thin, but in this situation, they were really thin.

After killing them, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Better to activate the Rain Prayer Array at night in the future."

The main reason is that we spent too long traveling to the Sevia Asteroid Belt, Feng Jun felt a bit of grievance, but he didn’t explain, just nodded, "Sorry, I considered it less, I will be careful in the future."

Why apologize? Because Yi Jue has consumed a lot of spiritual energy recently, whether it’s Si Ganlin or traveling with him in outer space, it took a lot of spiritual energy, so she has been absorbing spiritual energy using the Spirit Restoration Array.

However, facing his apology, she replied indifferently, "The main issue was almost forcing out the trump card, such decisions should be left to the Great Sages... you should go release the cargo."

"No rush, wait a bit," Feng Jun replied casually, "Immediately releasing the cargo after retrieval would expose our efficiency... best to handle it at night."

In the blink of an eye, a day passed, Feng Jun entered a hospital’s deep layers through tracks, filled it with supplies, and was about to find Chen Jiu for a chat, when he suddenly found dozens of soldiers surrounding Chen Jiu’s ward.

"Seems like we’ve been exposed," the Big Boss infused a thought to him, "Don’t know how the information got leaked."

Next, several military doctors arrived, opened the repair cabin, and were about to check Chen Jiu’s various physiological indicators.

"Alright, no need to go through all that trouble," Chen Jiu spoke, "I’ve woken up, just say what you want."

"How did you wake up?" The army’s question, no matter how many, this one is firmly number one.

"I don’t know either," Chen Jiu candidly said without hesitation, "Maybe... good physical condition?"

"Don’t entertain lucky thoughts," the army warned him directly, "Hand over the communication device, who did you contact, how did you contact them... I advise you to think carefully before answering."

Chen Jiu finally understood how the information got leaked, but his temper was truly tough, "There’s nothing to think about, maybe it was a mishap, otherwise... want to torture me?"

With his current condition, let alone torture, he wouldn’t survive out of the repair cabin, leaving the army gritting their teeth in anger, "Suspected of colluding with the Federation enemies during wartime can be sentenced to death, are you sure you want to resist?"

"Kill if you want," Chen Jiu answered defiantly, "Kill me so you won’t have to force me to find energy stones."

Several officers were stunned, exchanged glances, then a more amiable officer spoke, "Using the military’s communication device, were you in contact to purchase energy stones?"

In fact, many in the army knew that initially, the mysterious force contacted He Runxian using the military’s communication device.

"Maybe yes, maybe no," Chen Jiu still the same, seemed half-dead but was nonetheless unafraid, "Anyway, you made such a big fuss, if energy stones can’t be bought, it’s not my fault."

"Mr. Chen, let’s talk nicely," the amiable officer immediately expressed, although the military department demanded the mysterious force be uncovered, for frontline soldiers, nothing was more important than holding the line.

If truth be told regarding negligence of duty, Zuo Jing’s military department was more severe, they were the first to contact the mysterious force, yet not only did they fail to apprehend them, but also smilingly accepted a lot of energy stones.

Since Zuo Jing can do this, why can’t Xiajing do the same? Anyway, we’re not the first to do it.

So, he smiled and said, "If you’re the one helping to connect with the energy stones, then we misunderstood you. Which company are you contacting?"

"What other company could it be?" Chen Jiu’s voice sounded a bit odd, "Don’t you know it’s raining in Xiajing?"

The conversation reached this point, some things could no longer be avoided, so the military asked again, "How did you get in touch with them?"

Chen Jiu gave a wry smile, "They contacted me on their own... How could I have the ability to contact them?"

This answer matched everyone’s understanding of mysterious forces, but no one was willing to let go so easily, "Did you agree on the next contact time? We’d like to listen in."

Another officer added, "There’s a precedent for listening in... You’re aware of it, right?"

"But it’s not like this right now, is it?" Chen Jiu asked discontentedly, "You’re surrounding me, a wounded person, with guns loaded, still in critical condition. If it causes a misunderstanding and the energy stones aren’t delivered, you can’t blame me."

"This is just to prevent accidents and protect you," the last officer replied, showing no shame, as if stating a fact, "Once we assess the degree of danger, we will take appropriate measures."

"Hehe," Chen Jiu chuckled indifferently, even though it was difficult to make such an expression on his rugged face, "I think with your thick skin, you shouldn’t be in the military, but in society."

"Soldiers only care about victory, it has nothing to do with thick skin," this one truly didn’t mind, "What’s the result of your deal with the other side, how many energy stones... and how do you plan to trade?"

"I’m unsure about the number of energy stones, and the method of trade is also undecided," Chen Jiu replied lazily, "You all have information on the other side. Do you think the military can’t resolve the issue, but a small businessman like me can?"

The officer furrowed his brow, speaking with dissatisfaction, "It seems you are very resistant to cooperating with the military investigation?"

"I’m almost dead, and you still want to grill me with questions. Can I feel comfortable inside?" Chen Jiu retorted irritably, "As for restraining them or investigating them... I can’t do a thing."

After a pause, he added, "I suggest that everyone just observe quietly... Don’t you think the Zuo Jing military has done quite well in this regard?"

Many soldiers were silent, the words weren’t pleasing to hear, but it was indeed the most reasonable suggestion.

In the midst of the silence, the amiable officer spoke up, "One last question, was the poison in your body cured by them?"

"Yes," Chen Jiu replied straightforwardly, "Since it’s the last question, I’ll say a bit more... I don’t know how they dispelled the poison."

"Leave two doctors to help care for Mr. Chen," the amiable officer ordered, "and leave a squad of soldiers to assist with security... Ensure Mr. Chen’s safety."

After speaking, they looked around once more, and surprisingly, they all left.

Feng Jun watched the commotion, nodding quietly, it seemed the military finally started to figure out a way to interact with us, although it’s not completely fitting yet... but gradually it will improve.

Then he used his footprints to reach the Qin Family’s refuge, filled the place, and quietly left.

The next moment, he returned to Yi Jue’s side to restore her Spiritual Energy as protector, and after over another hour, he emerged from the white mist on the edge of the rain.

Soon, the military noticed something unusual, "A Space Mech Armor appeared from the white mist, moving at an incredible speed, be careful everyone, pay attention to capture!"

"Can anyone scan the mech’s serial number?"

"A patched-up mech, the characteristic codes have been erased... It might be those people, be careful everyone, try to capture them alive!"

Feng Jun certainly wouldn’t give them a chance to "capture alive," he maneuvered the mech erratically until... he flew about two miles from the marketplace, and seeing he was about to enter the encirclement, he finally turned on the loudspeaker.

"Marketplace owner, Chen Jiu entrusted me with the goods, I’ve already dropped them off for you, remember to check and transfer them over!"

Unfortunately, Sister Qin was busy inside the marketplace today because it was raining, the Insect Race shouldn’t come, and Xiajing City requested her to repair the marketplace. Though she was somewhat reluctant, since the insects couldn’t come, she had to keep up appearances.

Hearing the loudspeaker from outside, she initially didn’t pay much attention, but after realizing, she paused, "Marketplace owner, Chen Jiu... could it be referring to me?"
