Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1006: Chapter 872: Obsession

As Paranoid and Celestial Sound revealed their identities, Kotter quickly realized a problem.

Most of the people across were graduates of Chaoyang Academy.

An alumni group of this kind can be a headache to anyone, especially one as colossal as Chaoyang.

And Kotter himself wasn’t from Chaoyang, which only made him want to distance himself further from this vortex.

He lifted his leg and kicked the unconscious guy on the ground awake, frowning in disgust, "How impatient are you to live!"

The man shivered all over upon seeing Kotter upon awakening.

He knew this man. The Supreme on Blessing Star was not often elusive, but of course, he wasn’t qualified to converse with him.

After a moment of stunned silence, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Supreme Lord, I am willing to compensate!"

"Compensate, my foot!" Kotter cursed directly, "Don’t you know what crime it is to offend the Supreme?"

The man paused and didn’t dare retort, screaming, "Zheng Xuewen, I am willing to compensate, Limb Regeneration..."

"Hmm?" An aura of supremacy rose in the courtyard, but it was Paranoid, displeased with the man’s noise, showing dissatisfaction.

Kotter gave another kick, knocking the man out, then waved to a distance, "Two people over here!"

Two people jogged over, one of whom was the C-level who blocked the way earlier.

Kotter instructed them to take the person away and then looked at Zheng Xuewen, "Your issue with the right arm..."

"Reporting to Your Lordship," Zheng Xuewen learned to interrupt the Supreme this time.

However, he did so for a reason, "The lord in the courtyard has already given me the cost, thank you for your kind intentions, my lord."

The cost of Limb Regeneration is indeed expensive, but for Paranoid, spending such money is not a problem.

Zheng Xuewen also knew well which people’s favors could be accepted and which were inappropriate to accept.

Kotter hesitated for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"When your arm heals, if you’re still around here, you can come find me, and I’ll arrange a job for you."

After saying this, he nodded slightly to Qu Jianlei and turned to leave.

In the middle of the night, being called here only to be scolded, who had they offended?

After Kotter left, the Flower Scorpion also left, and soon returned with an RV, "Let’s spend the night in the car."

However, only she and Celestial Sound eventually got into the car.

Qu Jianlei didn’t want to squeeze in a car with women, it was no longer Garbage Star conditions, and it didn’t matter if he didn’t sleep for a night.

Zheng Xuewen was also tactful not to get in the car; with the Supreme outside, how could he not know his place?

The next day around noon, Mu Yu leisurely woke up, but reverted to that foolish appearance.

That night, the C-level from last night came and found Zheng Xuewen.

He was ordered by the Kotter Supreme to notify him of the resolution of the matter.

The family of yesterday’s guy had all been detained; the crime of "seriously offending the Supreme" was enough to have his whole family executed.

Also, this person’s assets were confiscated, roughly commuted to over 300,000.

Half would compensate Zheng Xuewen, and the rest would pay the government for their involvement in the matter.

The related expenses should be less than ten thousand, but even so, Zheng Xuewen getting half was specifically emphasized by Kotter.

Otherwise, he would have gotten much less; the Imperial confiscation of criminals’ assets has always been so.

Handling these assets usually takes some time, but this time the C-level Awakener brought a 150,000 check in advance.

This was also instructed by the Kotter Supreme, paying part in advance, promising to settle the remaining amount later.

Additionally, the person’s two backers in the military were also dealt with, one C-level and one B-level.

The C-level received severe punishment, but those assets went to the military accounts, no longer given to Zheng Xuewen.

He himself was dispatched to atone, the term being ten years, not a light punishment.

The B-level was fined on one hand, and also demoted.

The latter’s punishment was much lighter.

However, the C-level who came with the money said that the B-level was furious, claiming to have been dragged down, not knowing at all.

This possibility objectively existed, the honored B-level in the military wouldn’t be interested in Zheng Xuewen’s meager assets.

Moreover, the terror of the Supreme, more than anyone, the B-level would understand, it’s impossible to risk for such a small amount.

But with matters like these, reasoning simply doesn’t apply, choosing subordinates carelessly, being implicated is deserved.

By the next midday, a Supreme from the military came visiting.

It was evident that since the matter involved the military and was quickly handled, they were comfortable coming for a chat.

But Paranoid did not meet anyone, expressing impatience, saying they were looking after a friend, and could meet again some other time if fate allows.

In the following days, Zheng Xuewen simply booked a room in a nearby hotel, arranging for Qu Jianlei and the other two to stay there.

His life became instantly exciting and rich during these few days.

Previously, he had many comrades, but after becoming disabled, there were fewer and fewer interactions.

It wasn’t just that his life burdens were heavy and drew disdain from some, crucially, he himself was subconsciously repulsed by socialization.

When comrades gather for social events, there are always some expenses involved, and he can’t even afford that, always mooching off others for food and drink isn’t an option.

Plus, after his disability, he started feeling a bit inferior, and naturally, his comrades drifted further away.

Some are willing to help him, but while it’s easy to help out in emergencies, eradicating poverty... is a much harder feat, and he has his pride.

But now it’s different; his grandaunt has a Supreme friend who casually dealt with a bully.

As for the financial burden, that’s not an issue anymore; he even has the money for limb regeneration.

However, he currently has to host important guests, and has no time to start treatment.

Moreover, with Mu Yu Supreme’s care, someone has taken charge, which is good news.

Yet Zheng Xuewen is clear-minded, he knows which comrades are truly worth associating with, and which only offer lip service.

He chooses to interact with those worth associating with, and keeps a distance from the more shallow ones; over a decade of hardship has opened his eyes.

Overall, he has revitalized, and a happy future is just around the corner.

In addition, every day he visits home to see if those accompanying his grandaunt need anything.

In the blink of an eye, six days have passed, and this evening, Mu Yu regained consciousness again.

The Paranoid wasted no time, directly using Spiritual Power to connect with Qu Jianlei, "(ᖛᖛ)ʃ)"

Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, and in a flash, he was inside the small courtyard.

Recently, two City Guard teams had been added nearby, tasked with focusing on this courtyard, not so much to monitor, but mainly to prevent incidents.

Seeing him leap into the courtyard, they could only turn a blind eye; matters of the Supreme should be meddled in as little as possible.

Inside the courtyard, Qu Jianlei felt two pairs of eyes staring at him.

Mu Yu was too embarrassed to speak, so the Paranoid broke the silence, "Boss, those capsules... could we have some more!"

Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, bringing out three small bottles, "Don’t overexert yourself, go easy."

"Understood," Mu Yu nodded rarefully, "Thank you."

This time, her conscious period lasted a bit longer, up to five minutes.

Besides taking an ancient Stone Milk, she also absorbed an A-level Crystal.

Although she couldn’t absorb much in the short term, it was better than nothing.

She estimated she needed two more times of awakening to enhance her Inner Breath adequately.

Then there’s recuperation in the Qi Gathering Array, which she estimated would take at least three months before considering enhancing Spiritual Power.

Aside from that, she spoke about her plans for Zheng Xuewen.

Due to her short conscious period, she was unsure who the "stone" had turned to for allegiance.

So her plan for the grandnephew was, to allow him to live a happy life for the rest of his days.

Enhancing strength and such wasn’t a concern; over the years, she’d managed to awaken sporadically, and knew Zheng Xuewen’s aptitude was quite ordinary.

As for how to live a happy life afterward, she entrusted the decision to the Paranoid.

The Paranoid asked her, "If the problem with your Spiritual Power could be solved, what price would you be willing to pay?"

Mu Yu answered without hesitation, "As long as I can be with you, nothing else matters."

Five minutes isn’t long; the two didn’t manage to plan much about the future before time was up.

Seeing her eyes grow confused again, the Paranoid turned to Qu Jianlei, "Should we keep waiting?"

"Probably not," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Staying here for too long will eventually cause trouble."

"If her Spiritual Power recovers, it will also attract too much attention."

"I think the same," the Paranoid nodded.

Previously, in a fit of rage, he said he would take Mu Yu to cultivate in Chaoyang’s Qi Gathering Array, and he truly intended to do so.

But after a few days accompanying Mu Yu, he calmed down and reconsidered, deciding they couldn’t become the focus of attention.

If things were too high-profile, with their boss’s temperament, he might even abandon Mu Yu’s treatment.

Previously he knew well, that methods to increase Spiritual Power were extremely valuable.

But after seeing Mu Yu’s condition firsthand, he truly realized the significant societal impact such methods could have.

Thus his plan had to change, his expression proved he indeed understood this point clearly.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly hearing this, "Then let’s make arrangements and set off."

Next, he informed Zheng Xuewen of their intention to leave with Mu Yu, allowing him to live the life he truly desires.

Zheng Xuewen felt quite reluctant; over two decades, grandaunt had already become a part of his life.

Qu Jianlei could only explain that the complexity of the Supreme’s grudges isn’t something ordinary people can bear.

If ever Mu Yu’s illness becomes manageable, undoubtedly she would return for a visit.

Zheng Xuewen wanted to leave with them, but Qu Jianlei seriously replied: Persisting like this is of no benefit to both you and your grandaunt.

Furthermore, Mu Yu is quite elderly now; after all, life entails birth, aging, illness, and death, you might consider her already gone.

In short, arranging Zheng Xuewen’s future life wasn’t overly taxing.

It was genuinely dispelling his obsession that required quite a bit of verbal effort from Qu Jianlei and the other two.
