Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 214 - 143: Draining Everything Clean - 144: The Agreement at the Thatched Cottage (End of Four Updates)
At this point, he glanced at the Flower Scorpion beside him, "Now you know why I didn’t let you go, right?"
"I’ve figured it out," replied Flower Scorpion calmly, "The cultivation both of us are doing was calculated by the boss."
Her attitude was also very firm, "What the boss gave me is mine, and I’d rather die than give it to others."
Bentley nodded, "We’ll keep each other in check, and if necessary, we can help each other put an end to things."
Life on the Wasteland really wasn’t worth much, but for these two to have such awareness, Qu Jianlei hadn’t chosen the wrong people.
So he wasn’t pretentious either, "After I go over there, I’ll still come back often, let’s stay in touch."
"Leaving now?" Flower Scorpion showed a reluctant expression.
"No rush," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I have to let them invite a few more times, otherwise how would I keep my dignity?"
Flower Scorpion heard this and immediately beamed with joy, but then she worried again, "Will they really invite many times?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"If they don’t invite, I just won’t go," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "Am I supposed to beg them to invite me?"
About ten days later, someone came knocking, but it was people from the Dai Family in Taikoo City, bringing half a truck of rare materials.
Tian Shouyi, the president of the Maintenance Association, certainly took advantage of his position to gain benefits.
There were quite a few materials that Qu Jianlei had never even seen, only occasionally coming across the names in journals.
However, he didn’t accept everything, only taking those that couldn’t be bought on the market.
As for the materials that were purchasable, no matter how high the price, he returned them.
"I want the materials just to improve my skills, not to amass wealth."
A month later, someone else came; this time it was an Ultimate Warrior and two Modified Warriors.
They brought over three hundred thousand silver notes, five kilograms of gold, five B-level Crystals, and a house deed.
The house was a small two-story building with a backyard, the first floor being a storefront facing the street, and the second floor livable.
There were also rooms in the backyard, which could be inhabited.
The visitors indicated this was one of Tian Shouyi’s many properties, kept for the convenience of Qu Jianlei and others to live in.
"Tian Shouyi’s assets are not just these, but some people involved... have their demands too."
This reason, Qu Jianlei actually understood, he had long known that sharing is better than hoarding.
Don’t be fooled by Jamaari’s confident words about recovering all the assets when he left, but this result is the normal one.
If the Inspector really recovered all the assets, Qu Jianlei would instead be worried, thinking maybe this guy had set him up.
No choice, that’s how people lacking a sense of security are; they are most willing to accept reasonable results.
However, he then asked curiously, "May I ask, who is the client?"
"This... of course, it’s the Law Enforcement Team," the Ultimate Warrior’s gaze flickered slightly, "I didn’t ask for specifics."
Qu Jianlei nodded in understanding, "Alright, I’ll write you a receipt."
After the Ultimate Warrior put away the receipt, he hesitated and then asked another question.
"The client asked me to inquire about the matter you mentioned last time, what have you considered?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei shook his head, "They aren’t even willing to come themselves, I don’t sense much sincerity... never mind."
The Ultimate Warrior’s mouth twitched violently upon hearing this; he knew in his heart that the real client this time might be the Inspection Bureau.
Moreover, it was not just the Inspection Bureau but should have involved the B-level Warriors.
After all, there were only a few B-level Warriors in the Inspection Bureau, none of them were to be trifled with, and this person... dared to speak like this?
But he didn’t dare to be presumptuous with this young man; anyone who dared to speak to the Inspection Bureau like that was not someone he could provoke.
So he stated seriously, "I will convey your words verbatim, is there anything else you need me to do?"
"No," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said blandly, "You conveying the message completely is the greatest help to me."
The Ultimate Warrior left the courtyard, and ten meters out, he couldn’t help but look back.
A Modified Warrior couldn’t help but mutter, "This place... is a bit uncanny."
"Don’t speak," the Ultimate Warrior said coolly, "We all signed confidentiality agreements before coming, forget about this place."
The two Modified Warriors remained silent, but couldn’t help feeling deep suspicion in their hearts.
Another half month passed, and snowflakes began to fall in Houjing City, marking the first snow of the winter.
On the night of the snowfall, Jamaari knocked on Qu Jianlei’s courtyard door once again.
This time, he came alone, "Mr. Jian Lei, I received your message, so here I am!"

Chapter 144 The Appointment of the Thatched Cottage (Fourth Update)
Qu Jianlei had to admit that Jamaari, the B-level Warrior, was the most responsible strongman he had seen on the Wasteland!
However, he wasn’t planning to agree to the other party immediately; people usually don’t cherish things that are too easily obtained.
So he straightforwardly asked, "What do I get if I go to Central City?"
This is just... shameless, right? Jamaari was a bit speechless.
"I’ve helped you eliminate people, prepared housing, and agreed to arrange a new identity for you, what more do you want?"
Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "I didn’t expect it to be so difficult for the Inspector, so forget it, I still won’t go."
Jamaari nearly choked, remained silent for about ten seconds, then spoke, "I was asking... what else do you want?"
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows, his eyes also lighting up, "Anything?"
"Sorry, not like you think," Jamaari shook his head decisively, "There are many things I lack the ability to promise."
