Chapter 1136: Chapter 1002: Enormous Harvest
The news from the Flame Gun was exactly what Qu Jianlei and his team wanted to know, but unfortunately, it wasn’t good news.
Silence filled the room for a moment before Qu Jianlei spoke in a deep voice, "Was it Bluestone and Banwa who did this?"
The Flame Gun also sensed something was amiss; he was very sensitive to the aura: could it truly be the Panda team?
However, there was no time for him to think further, "Some people say it was them, but I don’t think so."
"They might be confused, but more likely... it’s Ke Rui’an’s doing."
Qu Jianlei took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "These people, do they really not fear the wrath of Senior Jia Shuqing?"
"Well..." The Flame Gun hesitated before answering, "They’re definitely afraid, but Senior Jia is reportedly not in good condition."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Is there more detailed information?"
"We can help inquire," the Flame Gun quickly replied, "We have a contact point on the Celestial Handle as well..."
He provided a contact point, which was a primary school gatekeeper, and also disclosed the contact secret phrase.
After Qu Jianlei and the others left, Feng Tang grumbled, "You know too much about Alliance matters."
He still couldn’t forgive his friend for surrendering during the battle and always felt the Alliance contact points were dangerous.
"Alright, at least I saved you," the Flame Saber nonchalantly commented.
"Banwa is an old hand in the Alliance; his actions are far more disgusting than mine... Didn’t expect it to be the Panda team!"
Feng Tang’s thoughts were indeed led astray, "Knowing it’s the Panda, so what? This team has always been mysterious."
The Alliance has been interested in the Panda for a long time, previously investigating their background without finding any clues.
The Flame Gun spoke gloomily, "At least we can provide some information about Ke Rui’an’s gang..."
After Qu Jianlei and the others left, no one wanted to speak for a while.
After a long time, Flower Scorpion looked at A-level, "Do you go by Nutrient Injection?"
A-level casually answered, "Calling me that is fine, just a code name, because I’m short, I suppose?"
Flower Scorpion was just starting a conversation, "You heard it too, can you quickly find out Zi Jiu Immortal’s whereabouts?"
Nutrient Injection looked at her in surprise, "Really want to investigate this person?"
"Investigate when asked to," Flower Scorpion replied unceremoniously, "Can’t you do me a favor?"
"Sure, of course," Nutrient Injection obediently nodded, "When settled, I’ll start inquiring."
Qu Jianlei casually spoke, "While you’re at it, find out when Rhine from the Haiyin Family can return."
Little Lake had informed him that Rhine was still not home; he was already a bit annoyed as the visit was quite costly.
"Rhine? Alright," Nutrient Injection nodded straightforwardly.
This guy’s ability was indeed not bad; by the third day, he had already brought a piece of news.
Zi Jiu Immortal was indeed captured by Bluestone and Banwa but had quietly escaped.
Her escape happened on Star No. 4, where two Supremes were causing a scene.
Later, Star No. 4 began a thorough investigation; the Alliance retreated, but Zi Jiu Immortal did not appear.
Currently, she’s likely still hiding on Star No. 4, though she has not sought help from the government for unknown reasons.
Nutrient Injection’s means of gathering information was indeed remarkable, though his information seemed a bit odd.
This guy must have someone within the Alliance; otherwise, how could outsiders know these details?
However, Qu Jianlei and his team weren’t bothered as long as there was information provided.
Flower Scorpion confirmed there was no bad news regarding Zi Jiu Immortal and stopped asking further.
Another day passed, and she went to the primary school’s contact point, with an old lady guarding from afar.
Avengers Alliance was quick to gather news; they confirmed Zi Jiu Immortal’s status, the same as Nutrient Injection reported.
The content was slightly more detailed: Zi Jiu Immortal injured two guards during her escape.
Soon after, Nutrient Injection gathered news on Rhine—she would return no sooner than half a month.
Qu Jianlei was quite impressed by this guy; in some ways, he was more effective than Little Lake.
However, he didn’t plan to wait another half month—he’d been away from Paradise Star for quite a while.
After gaining everyone’s approval, he found Nutrient Injection and gave him a Pioneer.
"Continue gathering information here; any findings, directly input into the terminal."
In fairness, providing a Pioneer was quite decent, as it’s worth tens of thousands.
But Nutrient Injection was concerned about something else, "Where are you going, and how else can we contact besides the terminal?"
Bentley coldly replied, "We’ll be going to where we need to go; it’s none of your business."
"Then can you take me along," Nutrient Injection was getting anxious, "I can gather information anywhere."
"Just stay here," Qinghu replied, "You’re not yet qualified to integrate into our team."
"This is..." Nutrient Injection showed disappointment but eventually sighed heavily.
Flower Scorpion was somewhat intrigued and said, "Since your information network is broad, see if you can find us."
Nutrient Injection’s eyes brightened at this, "If I find you, can I join?"
Bentley snorted softly upon hearing this, and Flower Scorpion hesitated for a moment before vaguely replying, "We’ll talk about it when the time comes."
After all, she couldn’t make this decision for the team, even if she had a fairly good impression of this A-level.
Qu Jianlei and his team of five left Celestial Handle Star once more, embarking on their return journey.
Although they had received relatively safe news from Zi Jiu Immortal, the atmosphere within the starship remained somewhat oppressive due to the unknown whereabouts.
It wasn’t until they exited the jump and saw the familiar sky of the Celestial Handle Star System that everyone’s spirits improved slightly.
On Paradise Star, nothing much was happening, and upon seeing their return, others casually asked about the situation outside.
Upon hearing about the changes in the Hope Star Realm, the Paranoid expressed regret, lamenting that he wasn’t present at the time.
It wasn’t necessarily about getting into a fight; he mostly wanted to witness the extraordinariness of Feng Tang, the Flame Gun, and the Blood River Butcher.
He had a habit ingrained in his bones of challenging geniuses.
Moreover, regarding the gains this time, Qu Jianlei produced a replica of the ** Technique and the storage device for everyone’s reference.
The Paranoid indeed recognized a divine text, "This might mean ’separate’."
Qu Jianlei merely chuckled casually, "Everyone put their heads together, and I’ll also figure out how to break it down."
In fact, what he obtained from Palamera was the "Clone Skill."
This is a very impressive technique, but unfortunately, he currently doesn’t have a suitable host.
The clone can also be hosted on a Dharma Artifact, but he doesn’t even have a Dharma Artifact.
However, the Avengers Alliance did include artifact refining methods in the divine text secret skills.
It was a "Basic Refining Skill," describing how to create cold weapons and protective magical robes.
Yet, there remains the issue of many materials... the Imperial has never heard of them.
Qu Jianlei would require many attempts to refine artifacts.
In addition, there was a drawing method for the "Fireball Technique" talisman.
Fireball is a fundamental fire element technique, often the first technique mastered by many fire attribute Awakened.
However, the level of this Fireball Technique isn’t low, and it can automatically track. It requires at least an A-level fire attribute to cast it.
For Qu Jianlei, the issue of materials remains when it comes to drawing a talisman.
At the very least, he hasn’t figured out what materials can be used for talisman paper, talisman brush, and talisman ink.
Also, this definitely isn’t considered a beginner’s talisman, at least it’s intermediate.
Qu Jianlei isn’t interested in drawing beginner’s talismans since the lowest cultivation level in the team is B-level.
But skipping the beginner phase and drawing intermediate talismans directly, this difficulty... well, it can only be tackled slowly.
Wanting to run before you learn to walk definitely requires a process.
These are Qu Jianlei’s two major discoveries from the storage device, which cannot be digested in the short term.
However, there is a skill that can be absorbed, and that is about the use of divine sense, yes, "divine sense," not spiritual power.
Qu Jianlei plans to experiment with it himself first, and as for whether to teach it to others... at least not immediately.
Apart from the gains regarding divine text, the biggest was the second computer setup.
There really are many things to calculate now, and the second unit must be activated.
Currently, the first unit is in the guesthouse, and building another unit, besides consuming a large amount of Energy Blocks, will also cause some energy fluctuations.
Qu Jianlei has means to shield energy fluctuations, but no matter what, having valuable items together indeed reduces security.
The total value of the two units is close to five billion, and even with many discounts, he spent over three billion.
If anything unexpected were to happen, he would be heartbroken.
But he has no other choice. Although the Imperial is large, there are not many truly safe places for him.
Too many projects require data processing, and even with some compromise on security, he can’t worry about it too much.
Quickly converting knowledge into combat power is his primary concern.
In the ensuing period, all team members entered a new round of cultivation frenzy.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, Qu Jianlei emerged from closed-door cultivation.
This closed-door time allowed him to fully absorb the technique of using divine sense.
Now, he can quietly imprint divine sense on others.
At close range, he can perceive their actions, and even from a distance, he can sense the location of his divine sense.
This is a typical cultivator method, and it’s at the Golden Core level.
This usage effect seems to conflict with the Big Head Butterfly’s function, but it’s not the case.
Little Lake’s information-gathering capability relies on the network, whereas the use of divine sense doesn’t require external aids.
If tracked individuals shield their wristwear, Big Head Butterfly goes blind, but divine sense has no such issue.
Qu Jianlei successfully experimented on Xiang Xue and Lao Ben, and now plans to discuss it with several Supremes.
To deceive A-levels isn’t a big deal; the key is to fool the Supremes, which will satisfy him.
However, when acting against the Supremes, it is necessary to clarify first, as this is the team spirit.
