Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1091: Chapter 957: Spatial Fluctuations

Facing everyone’s confusion, Cha Anping gave an explanation, "I’ll persuade my senior one more day."

Saying this, he was also filled with helplessness. As a junior, this was the last thing he could do.

Anyway, he had done his utmost, and if other alumni came to question him, he had enough reasons to explain.

Then let the senior stay for at most one year, and he would have fulfilled all obligations.

As for the possibility of her not moving after a year... Cha Anping hadn’t even considered this.

Being rude to outsiders is one thing, but daring to mess with a junior? He would just laugh...

Qu Jianlei and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this and then left directly.

As they were leaving, Cha Anping suddenly realized that there was another person in the mansion!

The person came and left silently, without saying a word, very straightforward.

Cha Anping broke into a cold sweat upon noticing the shadow — Damn, there’s a Supreme here?

He realized that his emotions had been a bit unstable just now, maybe that’s why he failed to notice the person.

But even so, it’s quite terrifying, isn’t it?

This senior is not ordinarily skilled; who did she steal loot from? This isn’t how you find trouble!

Hillary saw the person leave and didn’t pay attention to her junior, angrily contacting other friends on the spot.

What she wanted to know was — what exactly happened to Roger.

So to say she’s stupid isn’t quite right; she’s just been too smooth-sailing and spoiled for too long.

Her circles quickly provided an answer.

Recently, Roger Supreme hadn’t encountered any issues!

However, it was said that he had gone on exercises with a warship, including a division-level warship.

After returning, Roger’s mood seemed to have changed, possibly due to a stimulus.

Hillary was gathering information, and Cha Anping was doing the same.

He’s a high-ranking military officer, obtaining more related information.

Disconnecting his wristwatch, he reluctantly spoke, "Even with the military department’s endorsement, it’s barely useful, senior, are you stronger than Roger?"

Hillary sighed, still tough-mouthed, "That doesn’t mean it’s definitely them!"

"I didn’t say it was them," Cha Anping replied helplessly, "but firstly, it shows their intelligence isn’t lacking."

"Secondly, they might know deeper reasons, maybe have intersections with Roger’s opponent."

"Finally, I want to say, senior, the forces we can’t afford to provoke are far more than we imagine, don’t you believe?"

"Have you thought about how someone would only want nameless Silver Notes for twenty-five billion... what kind of person demands money like this?"

Hillary actually understood.

A few tens or hundreds of millions of nameless Silver Notes might be fine, but daring to ask for tens of billions... the water runs really deep.

She was just unwilling to accept it, though upon reflection, all she could do was chuckle bitterly.

"Junior, I know you mean well, but... twenty-five billion!"

You don’t know how much has been seized aggressively! Cha Anping knew it clearly in his heart, though he only thought about this inwardly.

"I won’t say much else, senior, just think about Qian Cengxue’s family, think about those who were completely annihilated..."

On the second night, it was still drizzling, and Celestial Sound visited as scheduled.

This time, she came alone, clearly wary of Cha Anping’s tactics.

Hillary didn’t show up, so Cha Anping received her, indicating the matter was settled.

For the twenty-five billion nameless Silver Notes, it’s genuinely impractical to produce so much at once; they managed to gather five billion for now.

With Cha Anping guaranteeing the debt, accidents aren’t likely.

As for Hillary declaring to abandon the pursuit of the mine, it didn’t need to be stated; Cha Anping assured there would be no problem.

At the end of the day, Hillary still had the last ounce of pride, refusing to meet Celestial Sound.

However, Celestial Sound didn’t care either; unless Hillary insists on causing issues, she wasn’t even on Kong Se Lord’s grudge list.

Receiving the five billion Silver Notes, Qu Jianlei also felt deeply, "I thought it was a savage wolf, but turns out not even a brutal person."

Others didn’t understand his lingo, but the Paranoid expressed understanding.

"From my past experience, you earn more from living Supremes than from the dead ones."

Qu Jianlei chuckled and shook his head, "That was before when conditions weren’t met; now..."

The Big Head Butterfly rotated, "Now conditions are met, and with such roots, you must set a long line to catch bigger fish!"

Having received a satisfactory answer, everyone was ready to return to Qingsha Star.

Since they needed to wait for Koning to gather the materials for the Super Spirit Gathering Array, everyone remained on Qingsha Star.

During the following time, those belonging to Hillary’s camp indeed showed no movement.

Koning didn’t suspect that Qu Jianlei would deceive him — if Hillary wasn’t settled, the biggest loss would be for the major shareholder.

He was even more actively engaged in running around persuading others, though it needed a process for acceptance.

Half a month later, Qu Jianlei received the second batch of Silver Notes from Hillary, only a mere three billion.

However, the newcomer explained that gathering funds wasn’t easy, especially for this kind of nameless type; a large sum would inevitably attract attention.

Moreover, the last five billion, was actually two billion raised by Cha Anping, and doesn’t Hillary need to repay as well?

By this time, news of Hillary’s concession was mostly confirmed, and the procurement process was rapidly advancing.

Then Celestial Sound recommended several people to Koning to participate in this matter, including Tan Guli.

These matters need not be discussed at length; approximately within twenty days, everyone decided to leave Qingsha.

What they didn’t know was that while they were discussing the destination, two massive starships landed at the Star Port.

The size of the starships was comparable to that of heavily laden armed merchant ships, appearing quite formidable.

However, the number of people disembarking from the two starships was not many, totaling only twenty or more, including two Supremes.

Welcoming them was the head of the Qingsha City Guard, an Earth Attribute Supreme.

"Welcome, esteemed officers, to Qingsha. We are following the Governor’s orders, fully cooperating with your actions."

"No talk of cooperation," an Earth Attribute Supreme spoke coolly, "The first requirement is confidentiality, do you understand?"

"Understood," the City Guard head nodded, "We strictly adhere to the highest confidentiality clauses."

"Good that you know," the Earth Attribute Supreme nodded slightly.

"This kind of space anomaly might be a precursor to abnormal celestial phenomena, spreading this information would cause unnecessary public panic."

"We understand this," the City Guard boss responded earnestly, internally thinking perhaps the anomaly is a sign of treasure emergence.

"After all, we are responsible for security, and panic spreading in society is strictly prohibited."

Speaking of these people’s origins, he was feeling inclined to complain—such a minor space fluctuation actually alerted the Anomalous Management Division?

The space fluctuation appeared a month ago, located in space, about 1.5 million kilometers from Qingsha Star.

The affected range of the fluctuation was small, intensity low, and although close to Qingsha Star, it would almost cause no impact.

Yet, this insignificant fluctuation was noticed by Qingsha’s astronomical observers.

They scanned the surrounding area and found no anomalies but still reported truthfully to the higher-ups as per regulation.

The higher-ups investigated and found there was indeed nothing to investigate—there were no starships nearby, no erroneous jump operations involved.

Therefore, orders from above were to continue observation and report any new discoveries immediately.

The Planet Government was genuinely concerned that abnormal celestial phenomena might impact the planet’s development, hence their attentiveness.

However, among the observers, someone sought favor from the nobility and discreetly contacted the Anomalous Management Division.

After all, abnormal space fluctuations could indeed herald the emergence of treasure.

Does the Planet Government not know this? Of course, they know, but... they can pretend to forget.

If reported to the Imperial government, if a treasure emerges, it would have nothing to do with Qingsha Star.

If the treasure doesn’t appear, Qingsha might get swept up in the mess.

Since there’s a possibility of being caught in between, why not keep silent, then the treasure can be digested internally.

Even if they have to turn it in eventually, at least it’s Qingsha’s credit, isn’t it?

The Qingsha Government’s plan was clear, but unfortunately, there was a traitor among them.

Upon receiving the information, the Anomalous Management Division verified the data and indeed found it to be true, hence they dispatched a team.

This is their style; had the Qingsha Government reported truthfully, they might not have been too concerned.

But submitting a report privately and discreetly often prompts a quick response from the Anomalous Management Division.

More than one place’s Central Government has complained about similar phenomena, saying the Empire encourages whistleblowing, which hurts officials doing their jobs below.

However, the higher-ups typically respond straightforwardly: The Empire’s vast territory requires enthusiastic citizens to play a role in supervision.

Thus, this matter... is quite frustrating, no wonder the City Guard head came, but several Governors couldn’t!

Yet that Earth Attribute Supreme could guess his intentions and responded coolly.

"The informant is already under our protection, hope you don’t create trouble for yourself."

"Hmm," the City Guard head casually hummed, thinking if I find that guy, at least arrange for an unexpected traffic accident!

It’s not that his hand is too dark; such traitors must be severely punished, or the team will indeed be hard to lead.

If Little Lake could pay attention to this conversation, it would find that the space fluctuation appeared the day after the Slaughter Night.

However, Big Head Butterfly indeed hadn’t noticed this point, instead coaxing Qu Jianlei, "Let’s first go to Celestial Hook and collect the debts!"

While they discussed here, the Anomalous Management Division had already discovered some clues.

"It’s possible that several weak space fluctuations caused an undetermined point’s concentrated resonance effect."

Qu Jianlei truly hadn’t expected that repeatedly teleporting on that night for murder would result in such a secondary effect.

He couldn’t imagine someone managing to analyze this far.

Anyway, everyone kept discussing while stealthily entering the forest, arriving at a cave hiding the Teleportation Array Plate.

Qu Jianlei activated the Concealing Array and initiated teleportation.

In the next moment, a shadow faintly appeared, gently waved a hand, smoothing over the minor space fluctuations around.

Then he slightly shook his head, "This fellow, still so carefree, really plans to live a life on the run?"
