Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 242 - 157: Can’t Hide Anymore

"I didn’t ask about this," Qu Jianlei responded seriously, "It’s a matter entrusted to me by a senior."

"Then you should confirm it first," Jamaari sighed softly, "The affairs of the Desert District are deeper than you think."

He already understood this guy’s temperament a bit, unwilling to owe favors, yet also not making a move without seeing the rabbit first.

This cooperation they discussed is likely going to be delayed again.

Unexpectedly, Qu Jianlei brought it up first, "Boss, which attribute warrior do you plan to use for the experiment?"

"Which attribute?" Jamaari pondered for a moment, "Is a disabled warrior okay?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then replied, "It’s best if the body isn’t disabled. As for the limbs... it shouldn’t be a big issue."

Jamaari pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "If there were a ninth Gathering Area, what should it be called?"

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "Why does everyone ask me this question?"

"Someone else asked it too?" Jamaari was momentarily surprised, then slightly nodded, muttering softly, "True enough."

Qu Jianlei lazily remarked, "After Celestial Profound and Earthly Yellow, Primordial Chaos... there are others."

In any case, he absolutely won’t say. If pushed, he might as well say it was made up by himself.

"Then go and prepare," Jamaari answered seriously, "Tomorrow Xiao Qin will bring people to find you."

Qu Jianlei lowered his eyelids, "Boss, what about the cultivation materials you promised me?"

"Asking only now?" Jamaari laughed upon hearing this, "Seems like you do have money."

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I always caused trouble for the Earth Room before, couldn’t bring myself to ask."

Jamaari waved a hand, "Go find Xiao Qin to fill out a form, report what you need, she’ll bring it to you tomorrow."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a while, asking again, "Can I borrow the B-level cultivation method to take a look?"

Jamaari shook his head, speaking seriously, "Don’t make it difficult for me... it’s time for you to produce some results."

The implication being, as long as he produces results, everything else can be negotiated.

Qu Jianlei thought it made sense. After being registered at the Inspection Bureau, he indeed hadn’t accomplished much.

After finding Xiao Qin to fill the form, he walked out of the office building and looked at the clear sky: Is this the start of the right path?

Returning to the small courtyard, Qu Jianlei went to a restaurant for a nice meal to celebrate finally starting a normal life.

That night he didn’t cultivate. After reading some mechanical books, he went to bed early to rest.

In the middle of the night, he awoke abruptly from inexplicable palpitations, turning his head directly to look at the alarm screen by the bedside.

Sure enough, several screens had gone black, his face darkened, and he drew a Long Blade from under the pillow.

This Long Blade was a gift from Jamaari, of far superior quality to the blades in Central City.

Then he felt for a Hand Cannon, also bought in Central City, extremely convenient for close combat.

He didn’t know who had come, but since the other party had already intruded, he could kill without asking questions.

Next, a faint voice sounded, "Awake? You young ones have sharp instincts indeed."

"But don’t misunderstand, I mean no harm."

You’re saying your actions now aren’t malicious? Qu Jianlei was too lazy to argue.

He spoke gently, "State your purpose... or don’t blame me for being ruthless."

The traps set up in the courtyard are numerous. Although he didn’t know how the other avoided them, he still had a trump card.

It’s just that it’s too noisy, and he really didn’t want to cause further shock.

The voice continued in a soft tone, "Young man, you don’t have to be so full of resentment. Do you know why I could sense you waking up?"

"Because I’m a wind attribute warrior, your arrangements might not be able to handle me."
