Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1131: Chapter 997: Divine Script Secret Transmission

Qu Jianlei and his team planned a relatively reasonable attack strategy, and everyone perfectly completed their tasks.

Indeed, it was truly perfect. Every plan they made wasn’t extremely detailed, but the basic requirements were never low.

However, each member of this team was talented, cautious, and bold, the key being their strong sense of cooperation.

It can only be said that life is indeed the best teacher.

Qu Jianlei and Bentley’s task was to attack Ke Rui’an and "strive" to kill him, which they of course perfectly completed.

But when they were retreating, they realized they were surrounded by layers of battleships, making it very difficult to escape.

Strictly speaking, this couldn’t be considered a mistake in plan formulation.

After all, no one had ever been surrounded by battleships like this. Even the experienced Granny Jia had not had similar experiences.

——Witnessing someone being surrounded and experiencing it yourself are purely two different feelings.

Strictly speaking, being surrounded didn’t necessarily mean they couldn’t break out; it simply involved some risk.

But Qu Jianlei was accustomed to ensuring his people did not get hurt, let alone the fact that he bore the responsibility of "flawed planning" as the leader.

Fortunately, he had his own backup plan prepared, "Hey Old Ben, lend me the Thunder Ram Horn."

He himself was equivalent to an Electromagnetic Supreme, and with the Thunder Ram Horn, the techniques he cast were nearly above supreme.

However, it did destroy the equipment a bit!

After casting "Silver Snake Frenzy," he discovered... the coating on the Thunder Ram Horn was peeling, and its actual color had changed!

Initially grayish-brown, it had become even darker, and seemed to have faint cracks appearing.

This made him feel a bit sorry for Old Ben—this high-grade tool seemed to have lost too much durability.

"Boss, what are you talking about? This was yours," Bentley was not satisfied.

"Once I reach supreme, it won’t matter if I have the Thunder Ram Horn or not; external objects are just temporary, nothing more."

"Then I won’t hold back," Qu Jianlei wasn’t a pretentious person, glad that Old Ben could understand.

"Given the current situation, we all know—is it time to leave immediately, or should we check out what exactly they’re up to?"

The five people present were basically all daredevils—maybe Qinghu was the exception, as everyone cared a lot about their own safety.

However, with Ke Rui’an stirring up such a big commotion, there must be a reason for it.

Considering two groups were impersonating the Panda team, it was actually certain— the Panda team was not the target.

"Then let’s have a look," Qinghu, who seldom spoke, voiced, "What if there’s an opportunity here?"

Previously, she wasn’t this type of person, but after the trip to her hometown on Xueye Star, she saw things clearly.

Sitting at home and disasters come from the sky, the world is just that unreasonable.

Moreover, the disaster that fell from the sky wasn’t ordinary; it was a Soul Attribute that no one had heard of!

Since that’s the case, living in isolation has no meaning. It’s better to take the initiative—you stop harming me, I will harm you instead.

It wasn’t her fault for this change, but rather the damned world.

Then, Flower Scorpion expressed, "Boss, how about we first take a look at the contents of the storage devices?"

唐撒 released hundreds of storage devices, but many were destroyed.

Flower Scorpion arrived relatively late and picked up two that were both broken, so she ambushed a few people and grabbed three.

Anyway, everyone was snatching, she was just one of them, and later, others came to snatch from her.

Flower Scorpion didn’t want too much entanglement with them, circled a few times, and took advantage of the boss’s big move to escape.

But speaking of this, she couldn’t help but complain.

"Boss, your Group Attack Techniques are good, but they don’t differentiate between friend and foe, which made me quite embarrassed."

As she spoke, she pointed at her shoulder, showing a large area of charred marks, "Fortunately, I wore the Insulation Helmet."

Among the five people, Granny Jia’s control didn’t make her very vulnerable to electromagnetic effects, Qinghu was assisting outside, and Bentley had the Electromagnetic Attribute himself.

At the end of the day, she was the unluckiest, not only handling the main task but also getting injured by her own team.

Luckily, she had prepared in advance, otherwise, being struck to paralysis or even injured wasn’t impossible.

Qu Jianlei awkwardly smiled, "Well... the power was too strong, my micro-operation skills are a bit lacking."

The Thunder Ram Horn was almost damaged, the Silver Snake Frenzy’s energy wasn’t just an ordinary raging force.

Hearing this, Qinghu’s eyes brightened, "Boss, you’re so capable, can you create techniques that can differentiate between friend and foe?"

In battles among Awakened, friendly fire was too likely to happen, and in chaos, many attacks couldn’t be unleashed effectively.

Of course, high micro-operation skills could effectively reduce friendly fire, which is how most Supreme levels operate.

However, that doesn’t mean micro-operation is omnipotent, not to mention that only Awakened above the A-level peak will practice micro-operation.

Although Qinghu’s micro-operation capability was strong, this problem still troubled her.

If in a chaotic battle powerful attacks could be unleashed, wouldn’t the fight be much more enjoyable?

"Really?" Qu Jianlei was stunned upon hearing this, "You think so highly of me?"

"Even high-tech weapons can’t achieve this; your idea is really... fascinating!"

"Are the techniques of the Awakened weaker than technology?" Qinghu asked a probing question, "I don’t see it that way."

In such a matter of great consequence, Qu Jianlei could only answer with a bitter smile, "Improving this isn’t something that can be done overnight either."

Qinghu nodded, "There’s no rush for that. We all have great confidence in you."

Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched slightly; the problem is, I lack that confidence, and... already have quite a few things piling up.

Bentley noticed his awkwardness and could only cough dryly, "Well, let’s have a look at the storage device first?"

Everyone took out their terminals and connected them to the storage device; Qu Jianlei didn’t forget to remind Little Lake to be cautious, as these storage devices might have some tricks.

Qu Jianlei clicked into it to watch, and before long, he was captivated.

Not only did it contain various divine script information, but also scattered decryptions.

However, in Qu Jianlei’s view, these annotations marked in Imperial text weren’t very meaningful.

It’s not because he was proficient in Huaxia Language, but rather he was quite clear about the decryption level of divine scripts in the Empire.

The decrypted content... how should I say? They’re types of the simplest kind; almost every research institute has them.

Nevertheless, even then, this is forbidden knowledge by the Empire. Those who haven’t encountered divine scripts would surely regard them as treasures.

"Could this turn into something big?" Flower Scorpion frowned, deeply aware of the consequences if this information were to spread.

Qinghu frowned and glanced at Granny Jia; ultimately, being young, she could not accurately assess the severity of the matter.

After some thought, Granny Jia replied, "Well... for the Empire, it’s not a big problem."

The Empire controls the research on divine scripts strictly, but in truth... it can’t truly control those who have the means.

Over the years, the situation has been escalating, but common folks aren’t aware of it.

These elementary knowledge spreading out would undoubtedly anger the Empire, but drastic actions are unlikely to occur.

As long as no one recklessly spreads this news, the Empire will secretly exert effort to gradually resolve this crisis.

Of course, if someone is stubborn enough to insist on spreading the news, the Empire will definitely make sure they understand the meaning of severe consequences.

To put it bluntly, wiping out the entire family would be considered lenient.

But as for that Bentang Supreme who scattered the storage devices, there’s no hope of escaping obliteration.

Even though this person is considered among the top in the supremes, going down the path of reckless self-destruction like this is a guaranteed death sentence.

Granny Jia’s worry was about the immediate dissemination of such news in dozens to hundreds of instances, which could bring extremely profound impacts to the populace.

Buying fake secret manuals on the black market like Qu Jianlei did would be nothing.

The key is, even those who don’t understand can seek help from those who "slightly understand," can’t they?

If this kind of information keeps spreading in waves, the potential troubles could be unimaginable.

Obviously, the most crucial part is, "There are many divine script secrets in here, and once they’re decrypted, who knows what might happen!"

Saying this, the expression on her face was one of worry; evidently, the experiences on Xueye Star had left everyone with a deeply vivid memory.

"We’ll have to ask the boss," Qinghu looked at Qu Jianlei, curiosity overtaking worry in his eyes, "Is there anything useful?"

"Surely there is," Qu Jianlei answered thoughtfully, "but they still need to be meticulously arranged."

Most of the divine scripts in the storage device aren’t very useful articles.

For example, "Strange Tales," and "Classic of Poetry," along with many texts whose origins he couldn’t identify, including both classical and vernacular pieces.

But there are also several articles related to cultivation, which, bluntly speaking, are far more valuable than the techniques obtained from the Palamera.

It’s apparent that the information scattered by Bentang Supreme undoubtedly comes from the reserves of a major power.

Those with slightly less ability wouldn’t be able to accumulate so much, nor withstand others’ covetousness.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t in a hurry to mention this—mainly because there’s no way to explain it logically, so he actively shifted the topic.

"I see, this Bentang and Flame Gun... actually escaped!"

The Flame Gun was that Fire Attribute Supreme who kept jumping back and forth, and had an Ice Arrow in his side, though it didn’t affect his mobility.

According to the government’s wanted notice, Bentang and Flame Gun escaped together, but they were both injured, surely not able to get far.

The reward amount goes without saying, astronomical figures promised based on contributions.

Notably, anyone "with knowledge who doesn’t report" will be executed without mercy; noticing anomalies and pretending not to see will be executed without mercy.

Simply put, if one notices suspicious individuals, they must report them.

It’s even imaginable that once these two are captured, everyone in the areas they passed through would likely have to prove their innocence.

This nearly implicating reward scale isn’t entirely unique in the Empire, but it is considerably rare.

Furthermore, one can imagine the staggering manpower and resources needed for such a demand—the error probability is simply too high.

Nevertheless, it’s apparent the government is resolute and won’t stop until both are caught.

But even so, the reward on their heads is still nowhere near as high as the Panda team’s bounty.
