Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 157: Can't Hide Anymore


"Half and half, I guess," Qu Jianlei replied ambiguously, "Some of it can be used."

"That's what we want," Xiao Qin, usually sticky and hesitant, was surprisingly decisive when making decisions.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "A C-level Warrior absorbing a B-level Crystal? I'm just curious... is it really difficult?"

This question is indeed challenging; according to everyone's information channels, only B-level Warriors can directly absorb crystals for cultivation.

But that's just the conventional understanding. Beyond the information barriers, who can say for sure what secrets are hidden?

In fact, Xiao Qin has seriously considered this matter, vaguely suspecting if there are hidden secrets she isn't aware of.

So she hesitated for a moment before responding, "Why do you think that way?"

"I like to think innovatively," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "It's a habit developed from learning mechanical knowledge."

This explanation seemed reasonable; Xiao Qin recalled Jamaari's evaluation of Jian Lei.

Then she nodded and tentatively asked, "So you... have figured out something yourself?"

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Just some ideas, still far from complete."

That might not necessarily be your idea, Xiao Qin was very skeptical at this point.

She looked at him suspiciously, "That's pretty great... Would you be willing to share it with everyone?"

"Ah, sharing," Qu Jianlei smacked his lips.

What he hated most was others requisitioning, whether it be wealth, manpower... or brainpower.

But the Inspection Bureau has been good to him too, so after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you think it's good news to spread?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qin froze for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, "Your concerns are valid, I hadn't thought it through."

Then she turned and walked out, "Wait for me, I'm going to report this to the boss… is that okay?"

"Do I have the right to say no?" Qu Jianlei muttered softly.

Two hours later, Jamaari appeared at the door, "Something came up earlier, sorry for being late."

A proper Inspector rushing here quickly indicates his attention to the news.

After confirming the information, the Inspector posed a question, "Besides yourself, has this method been used on others?"

Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but said, "That's what I'm troubled about..."

"Testing can potentially be wrong, and the cost of mistakes could be death, or at the very least, severely affecting the body."

Jamaari initially wanted to indirectly find out the situation with those two in the Celestial District.

Now his line of thinking was shifted by the conversation, nodding seriously, "Casually using Ultimate Warriors for testing is a capital offense."

Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "So I can only test on myself; it's impossible to use others."

Terry... is also quite a consideration, Jamaari knew very well within.

But the cultivation method for the Electromagnetic Attribute is too sensitive; if the other party doesn't bring it up, he doesn't feel it's appropriate to pry.

He nodded, "The related testing resources, the Inspection Bureau can provide for you."

There aren't many Ultimate Warriors with serious crimes because they inherently have very high immunity.

With only a group of just over a thousand to less than two thousand, it might not result in an execution for five or six years.

Yet there are quite a few Warriors carrying penalties, like Bobov avoiding requisition, even if not killed, would face punishment.

Qu Jianlei asked suspiciously, "A lot of them in prison?"

"In the Redemption Squad, there are over twenty," Jamaari leaked another secret, "Not deserving of death, yet unworthy of leniency."

Qu Jianlei shook his head and asked again, "How about confidentiality?"

Jamaari fell silent; if an appropriate cultivation method was discovered through testing, could they silence witnesses?

Xiao Qin suddenly interjected, "Jian Lei... are you from the Gorge?"

The question was spot-on! Qu Jianlei secretly gave a thumbs-up internally; if it weren't asked, he wouldn't know what to say.

He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, "Well, I'm not quite sure... do you know the Sai Family in the Hong District?"

Jamaari and Xiao Qin exchanged a look, both shaking their heads. Who would care about such a backward Gathering Area?

"Would you mind helping me find out?" Qu Jianlei leisurely requested.

"After I eliminate the Sai Family, then we can talk about other matters... for now, I want some peace and quiet."

"A small family from a backward Gathering Area?" Xiao Qin sneered, "I'll handle it for you."

Qu Jianlei shook his head, expressionless, "No need for you to intervene."

A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "I'll avenge my friend's revenge myself."

With the Inspection Bureau's efficiency, it took a full ten days to inquire about the Sai Family in the Hong District.

However, the information obtained stunned Jamaari, leaving him to notify Qu Jianlei via Xiao Qin.

Qu Jianlei was stunned after hearing, "The Sai Family... annihilated?"

Xiao Qin wore a look of irritation, "It happened two years ago... all dead, undoubtedly not by us, but other people."

Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, "Who did it?"

"Don't know," Xiao Qin shook her head, hesitated, then added, "Probably not someone from the Hong District."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, shook his head, and snorted dismissively.

"Given their behavior, it's no surprise they ended up this way… Why are you staring at me?"

Xiao Qin couldn't hold back, "There must have been Ultimate Warriors involved, and not just one or two."

Qu Jianlei froze, then reacted after a short while.

He pointed at himself, incredulously asking, "Do you think it's related to me?"
