"Still can't fully trust me," Qu Jianlei said with a hint of disinterest.

But he didn't dwell on it and spoke seriously.

"Running two lines at once, it's a long and heavy task. I'll charge you ten B-level crystals for the calculation fees, okay?"

Xiao Moshan was startled, "Are you kidding, ten crystals?"

Not even as good as Bentley? Qu Jianlei looked at him with pity, "You don't even have ten... you're not doing well for a wanted man."

Underestimating me, huh? Xiao Moshan protested, "I don't lack crystals, but cultivation requires using them, and being injured means recuperating."

"Once you calculate this cultivation method, you can sell it yourself. Can't be recouping costs from just me, right?"

Oh? If you're talking about that, I'm not sleepy anymore! Qu Jianlei's eyes widened.

"This is a custom job, so the research cost is naturally on you. I have to make money too."

"As for whether I can sell it later, that's hard to say... I might not even dare to sell it, you know about information barriers, don't you?"

Xiao Moshan blinked, processed the term, and then silently nodded.

"So my asking price isn't high," Qu Jianlei calmly looked at him, "If you don't have crystals... you can pay in cash."

Underestimating me, huh? Xiao Moshan replied irritably, "I have plenty of crystals, but not much cash."

Big words, huh? Qu Jianlei grew curious, "How much do you have, can you sell me some?"

"Don't try anything on me," Xiao Moshan glared at him, "I hide crystals in a way similar to you!"

Worried I'll eat black? Qu Jianlei earnestly stated, "I hate forced taking."

"These are wind attribute cultivation methods," Xiao Moshan pulled out two manuals and placed them on the table, "C-level and B-level."

The atmosphere grew more harmonious; he carried cultivation manuals, indicating sincere intent for trade.

Qu Jianlei nodded but didn't take the manuals, "When I start calculating, you need to pay two crystals as a deposit."

"No problem," Xiao Moshan answered briskly, then stood up, "Looking forward to your good news."

His figure flashed, and he disappeared without a trace; even Qu Jianlei couldn't see how he left.

Qu Jianlei smiled, "No wonder you can dodge pursuit, this body technique, tsk tsk..."

"Oh no, I forgot to discuss compensation, ruined so many of my cameras."

The next morning, Qu Jianlei discovered the other party hadn't damaged the cameras, just cut the wires.

At that moment, he truly envied the wind attribute; slightly lacking attack power, but coming and going gracefully, so free?

Just finished reconnecting the lines when Xiao Qin arrived driving an off-road vehicle.

Apart from her, there was a middle-aged man with crutches, both legs gone below the knees.

He was unkempt with a shabby beard, hollow eyes looking very despondent.

Xiao Qin introduced proactively, "This is Black Panther, a former member of the Law Enforcement Team... Black Panther, show some spirit!"

The middle-aged man managed a weak smile and spoke lifelessly, "Jian Lei, heard of your name."

"Hello," Qu Jianlei nodded, speaking calmly, "You need a good mental state to cultivate."

"He's not that old," Xiao Qin explained beside him, "About thirty-two or thirty-three this year, right?"

"More or less," Black Panther answered feebly.

Xiao Qin gave him a glare and then looked at Qu Jianlei, "This is someone the boss cares about..."

"A wind attribute warrior who got his legs blown off during an operation."

"Wind attribute..." Qu Jianlei's expression turned quite peculiar.

"Yeah," Xiao Qin thought he was reminded of something else and quietly signaled... don't provoke Black Panther.

Qu Jianlei could understand how free wind attribute warriors are in action, losing legs is devastating.

Not to mention this man's despondency; if he faced such a situation, he might be the same way.

After hesitating, he coughed, "But wind attribute cultivation method... I don't have it here."

In another corner of the small courtyard, Xiao Moshan's mouth twitched, continuing his knife work in the kitchen.

Xiao Qin nodded and signaled to Qu Jianlei, "Indeed, this time brought... the boss is also considerate to help you."

"Then I need to ponder for a couple of days," Qu Jianlei received the small manual, "Come back in three days."

Xiao Qin also brought along the cultivation materials Qu Jianlei had applied for, filling half the car.

Though not very large in volume, the packaging of these rare materials took up too much space.

After handing over the materials, she drove off with Black Panther, expressing frustration along the way, "Can't you pull yourself together?"

"I want to," Black Panther huddled in the seat, responding weakly.

"But when I see his face, my heart sinks halfway... still just a kid."

Xiao Qin sighed helplessly, "Do you think the boss needs to trouble you?"

"No," Black Panther slightly lifted his spirit but then let out a long sigh again, "Alas~"

Xiao Qin shook her head and adjusted the wheel, "Seems like the boss needs to have a talk with you."

"Don't," Black Panther screamed miserably, then sighed softly again, "Even you little girl dare to bully me..."

That night, as Qu Jianlei was researching wind attribute cultivation techniques, someone lightly knocked on the door.

It was Xiao Moshan, "This... research cost we've agreed upon, can it be halved?"

Qu Jianlei looked at him helplessly, "No need to rush, am I going to scam you?"

In truth, his heart was bleeding; still hadn't discussed fees for calculating Jamaari's cultivation techniques.

He trusted the Inspector wouldn't cheat him, but... how could he ask for more?
