Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1001: Chapter 867: Everything Has Changed

This B-level is genuinely terrified - he has gravely offended someone that even his Supreme wouldn’t dare provoke.

In fact, his reaction today was quite moderate, and the demands he made were regulations set by the research center.

As for Mu Yu being awakened prematurely, that truly had nothing to do with him - how long has he been here, a few years?

But now the misunderstanding has been created, even if he wants to explain, the other party has to be willing to listen!

And the reaction of his Supreme indicates: the other side truly has the confidence to kill him here without any consequences.

Otherwise, that person wouldn’t have run away without looking back.

In fact, he even thought of someone - Mu Yu’s Supreme relationship history is very simple.

As a once-in-three-hundred-years genius, even if she is frozen, the legends about her won’t be few.

So when he heard Celestial Sound say this, he immediately showed a friendly attitude.

There’s no choice, his life is in the other’s hands; a slight mood swing could mean instant death for him.

Celestial Sound didn’t respond directly, just slowly shook his head, "Lacking a sense of awe."

"Sigh," the B-level replied with a heavy sigh, "You wouldn’t think... I have the authority to decide this kind of thing, would you?"

"Then tell me, what’s going on," Celestial Sound spoke in a deep voice, "You’re not going to tell me... you’re unaware, right?"

"Well..." the B-level Awakened hesitated upon hearing this.

"If you don’t want to talk, forget it," Celestial Sound shook his head, "I originally wanted to give you a chance."

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk!" the B-level Awakened quickly spoke, finally realizing: this was indeed a chance to save himself.

Speaking of this matter... it’s actually quite bizarre.

The root cause is that decades ago, the research center experienced multiple instances of cold storage failures.

As mentioned earlier, the Imperial freezing technology is really not very reliable, overall success rate only being around twenty percent.

The consequences of freezing failure are severe; surviving is considered lucky, as most wouldn’t survive.

However, despite the high risk, freezing must be attempted, at least to gamble on a future chance of surviving.

The Chaoyang research center’s freezing success rate wasn’t low, at least above average.

During that period, consecutive freezing failures occurred at Chaoyang, leading someone to attempt explaining the issue through metaphysics.

Once again someone submitted a freezing application, but the applicant hoped to use the facilities of past successful cases.

There’s no way, when normal explanations fail, one has to resort to believing in metaphysics.

The reason for choosing Mu Yu’s equipment for freezing was that her freezing was exceptionally successful and took very little time originally.

Actually, the success was due to a reason, aside from the extravagant efforts of the Paranoid, Mu Yu herself was Supreme.

Plus, the Paranoid chose the timing well, just when she was awake, leading to the fortunate success.

But to outsiders, it seemed like the equipment she used... perhaps had a luck enhancement.

The Empire doesn’t really speak of luck, but the general idea is similar.

Additionally, one important point: awakening Mu Yu didn’t need anyone’s authorization.

Those frozen were all from either wealthy or influential families.

The research center must have the approval of family members before awakening a frozen subject, otherwise, the situation could become unmanageable.

Choosing Mu Yu avoided this pressure; her family wasn’t large and was outside the Thorn Star Realm,

especially since she was a woman without a husband, her relationship with siblings was quite ordinary.

Also, she had been frozen for over one hundred seventy years, those relatives with feelings were long gone.

Previously, there was even a farcical scene: one of Mu Yu’s grandnephews wanted her to be awakened for lack of money!

After all, she prepaid for five hundred years; by awakening her early, wouldn’t some money be refunded?

However, this request was decisively rejected by the research center.

The center reasoned that the party did not have the relevant paperwork and lacked the qualifications to make the request.

They also emphasized that such fees... once paid, would always be non-refundable.

Simply put, it was a farce, but also indirectly demonstrated that Mu Yu truly had no one.

In fact, the most feared circle in Mu Yu’s social network was the Paranoid, besides which there were several Supreme friends.

However, after one hundred seventy years, most of her Supreme friends had passed away naturally.

The Paranoid was even more elusive - even if there were traces, what’s the use? Could he live over three hundred years?

In essence, awakening Mu Yu didn’t require anyone’s consent, nor would anyone seek retribution.

The most crucial point is that the person valuing Mu Yu’s equipment usage is not only wealthy but also has strong connections and influence.

So after comprehensive analysis, the center still awakened Mu Yu.

After waking up, Mu Yu sporadically had moments of clarity.

However, she paid little mind to others awakening her, only wanted to know news about a certain person.

The research center told her what year it is now, and that person’s news... hasn’t been heard for a long time.

Then Mu Yu no longer cared about being awakened — this was also in line with the center’s prediction.

Besides, the research center also helped contact the nursing home and promised to cover Mu Yu’s related expenses.

Otherwise, Mu Yu really might not have qualified to enter the nursing home.

She is indeed Supreme, but most of her past time was spent on cultivation, and her advancement to Supreme has not been long.

So her contribution to the Imperial is not that significant, and it’s not surprising that she couldn’t enter the nursing home.

However, one good thing is that another grandnephew of Mu Yu, after hearing the news, volunteered to take this grand-aunt home for care.

Later, the research center continued to observe for several years — what they mainly worried about was that Mu Yu might suddenly cause trouble one day.

But after several years of observation, Mu Yu showed no abnormal reaction, and her grandnephew took good care of her, which allowed them to completely put this matter to rest.

This B-level only heard about the matter after arriving at the research center.

In such major events, he had no stance to take, just had to do his work by the book.

As for the requests made by the Paranoid, they were indeed clearly stipulated, nothing he did was out of line.

After he explained, the scene went silent, and no one spoke again.

After a long time, Celestial Sound glanced at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, is there anything else you want to know?"

Qu Jianlei waved, "I’m really not interested in these matters, but does Mu Yu have no Supreme among her juniors?"

No one from the family stepping in is one thing, but none among the juniors stepping forward, is her popularity really that bad?

Celestial Sound tilted her head to think, then spoke solemnly, "I estimate there are two reasons; the first is that not many people know this news..."

Saying this, she looked at the B-level Awakened, "Am I wrong?"

"Not wrong!" He nodded hard twice, "If I wasn’t responsible for this aspect, I might not know even now!"

Secretly awakening a frozen person, spreading it would be a definite scandal, and Chaoyang Academy can’t afford to lose face like that.

Celestial Sound continued to speak, "The second point is... the senior probably didn’t care enough about the juniors, she’s such a proud person!"

Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing this, "Indeed, geniuses have their eyes on the top, not enough compatibility looking down... it’s perfectly normal!"

The B-level Awakened hurriedly gave a thumbs up, "What the two adults said is right, indeed only geniuses can understand geniuses."

Neither of the two paid him any attention. After a while, Celestial Sound sighed, "I was the same when I was in school."

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, the world of geniuses really is different from ordinary people.

The next moment, his gaze turned in another direction, then he spoke coldly, "If you keep spying, don’t blame me for killing."

"I don’t want to either," a soft sigh came, then a figure flashed, it was the middle-aged man returning from earlier.

His expression was a bit peculiar, "Since you already understand the whole process, we can then communicate amicably."

"May I know how to address you, and where you’re from?"

"Let’s skip the amicable communication," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, speaking nonchalantly, "Wait for your senior to come back, you two communicate."

"As for my identity, you’re not worthy of knowing!"

"You!" The middle-aged man was truly deeply provoked.

But he also saw that the legendary presence of Chaoyang Academy was quite courteous to this person as well.

Realizing this point, he could only suppress his anger and reluctantly stated, "I’ve only been here for fifteen years, it has nothing to do with me."

"No need to say it to me," Qu Jianlei spoke with calmness, "I don’t even know Mu Yu, you’d better find the right person!"

The middle-aged man stared at him blankly, then suddenly laughed, "You don’t seem to care about who replaced Mu Yu?"

Qu Jianlei casually replied, "The substitute is inside, can they run?"

If the Paranoid asked him to act, he wouldn’t mind dealing with it casually, but since they didn’t say, he wouldn’t meddle.

Keeping that person around, if the Paranoid wanted to win the favor of a beauty, it’s also a good way.

The middle-aged man shook his head, muttering softly, "Aren’t you considering if you can afford to provoke?"

Qu Jianlei took out a cigarette and lit it, as if he hadn’t heard those words at all.

Seeing his indifferent demeanor, the middle-aged man silently sighed: Is this really the prelude to a storm?

He was about to turn and leave when he heard the other party hum lightly, "If I were you, I wouldn’t rush to leave."

The middle-aged man, hearing this, became furious, "Even suspecting me... aren’t you afraid of making too many enemies?"

"Enemies?" Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at him, shook his head disapprovingly, "Just you?"

He said no more, but his meaning was very clear: you don’t even qualify to be an enemy!

Just four words, not very hurtful but highly insulting.

Truly arrogant! The middle-aged man felt increasingly annoyed inside, but there was no expression on his face.

He calmly asked, "What if I insist on leaving?"
