Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 931 - 799: Whom Should I Approach

Eighty million computing units, of course, Paranoid is familiar with them and knows they are being used by artificial intelligence.He’s seen big money before, but still feels that this thing is just too expensive.

But since it involves research, let’s not talk about the price—whose research doesn’t burn money?

Qu Jianlei answered without looking up, "Electricity and water resources are very abundant here."

Is that what I’m talking about? Paranoid could not help but speak again, "Star No. 2 is not friendly to us."

Granny Jia glanced at him and chuckled helplessly; the impact is subsiding, and with me here, isn’t it safe enough?

"Let’s make do for now," Qu Jianlei replied casually, the crucial thing is that Celestial Handle Star is also unsafe now, so here is rather a blind spot under the lamp.

And regarding calculations, too much work has already accumulated; if the computing units aren’t activated, tasks will only pile up.

He knows very well what these two care most about, "The second array is set up... you won’t affect each other anymore."

Paranoid felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this news, "How’s the array I gave you coming along?"

"It’s still a long way off," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Priority is given to the ordinary Qi Gathering Array and the Dark Attribute Cultivation Technique."

Claire is currently just short of C-level pinnacle, still a while away from B-level.

But as the team leader, Qu Jianlei believes this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later.

For this team, there aren’t many peaceful and harmonious days, so time must be cherished.

Once drifting across the interstellar space long-term or falling into troubles, using the computing unit group will be very inconvenient.

In summary, it is better for techniques to wait for people, rather than people waiting for techniques.

Granny Jia inquired after hearing this, "Lack of Dark Attribute Cultivation Technique... are you referring to the improved version?"

When she heard that even the basic techniques from Qu Jianlei were only C-level, she immediately took charge.

"Alright, leave it to me, it will only take a few days."

Granny’s reputation and capability are no joke, in ten days she got both B-level and A-level Dark Attribute Techniques.

As for the Supreme Level... that’s rather difficult, currently, the empire’s dark attribute supreme are few and far between.

Granny Jia expects, "At least ten years if nothing unexpected happens, and there’s a big chance... we might have to snatch it."

"Let’s leave it at that," Qu Jianlei doesn’t necessarily think snatching is required.

He now has so many techniques to reference, so long as there’s ample time, deducing them is not hard.

The key is that Blair also cannot reach the supreme level in ten years, a conservative estimate would be forty to fifty years.

With that much time, what can’t be accomplished?

Another ten days passed, Qu Jianlei successfully deduced the B-level improved Dark Attribute Technique, followed by deducing A-level.

Meanwhile, the progress of deducing the ordinary version of the Qi Gathering Array is also steadily improving, looking promising in about a month.

However, the deducing progress for the Teleportation Array is rather frustrating.

Although it’s partially due to a lack of allocated computing power, he knows that even with ample computing power, it would still take a long time.

Nonetheless, this is unavoidable due to involving space rules, resolving it isn’t something that can be done overnight.

During this process, Xiang Xue proposed to visit Zi Jiu Immortal—been here several times without meeting the old acquaintance.

But Qu Jianlei advised against it, as the panda issue is brewing, and she is still a related person, so let’s restrain a bit.

Granny Jia supported him, she’s already thoroughly involved in the panda affair, no need to drag the younger generation into it.

If she gains something, she can extend it to future generations, why let her take risks?

However, despite putting Zi Jiu Immortal aside, new news from the old acquaintance emerged.

One day, Xiao Qin found Qu Jianlei, "Cheng Qingshan contacted me, Xiao Moshan encountered some trouble."

While Qu Jianlei and others were in Star of Hope preparing to attack the Divine Text Association, Xiao Qin and two others were wandering around Star No. 4 displaying their presence.

Yet they didn’t wait idly; they specifically visited the Engineering College to find Cheng Qingshan, hoping to inquire about Xiao Moshan’s recent situation.

Qu Jianlei later learned of this news and didn’t say anything; he wants to stay forgotten amidst the rivers and lakes but nostalgia isn’t a bad thing.

The major affairs of Cheng Qingshan are many, it took several visits for them to meet him, and when asked about Xiao Moshan, Cheng Qingshan’s reaction was a bit over the top.

Fortunately, the two women are only B-level and C-level, but in everyday life, they have two supreme around them.

Especially Claire, an unchallenged youngster not fearing tigers, hailing from the lawless Garbage Star wasteland.

She frankly stated: We’re looking for him, not asking for favors, just wanting to understand his current situation.

Accompanied by her tone and expression, the intention was clear, they are living better than Xiao Moshan.

Of course, crucially, the fact that they came to find Cheng Qingshan was under Xiao Moshan’s instruction.

Cheng Qingshan perceived their fearless attitude, didn’t appear hostile but also restrained from mentioning Xiao Moshan’s situation.

He merely left their contact information, indicating he would reach out if there’s news.

Now he’s actively reaching out to Xiao Qin because Xiao Moshan encountered some trouble.

Yet Cheng Qingshan’s attitude is straightforward, emphasizing speaking with someone in charge.

Qu Jianlei took her watch and called Cheng Qingshan.

Cheng Qingshan, known as the first person under the Supreme, immediately asked about the origin of the caller.

Qu Jianlei did not indulge him and directly stated, "Since you contacted us, you must have already reached out to Xiao Moshan, right?"

"Since he’s entrusted you to find us, it means he acknowledges our capability to solve the problem."

"So don’t ask about anything else... It’s not good for you either, just get to the point."

This tone brought a familiar sensation to Cheng Qingshan—not the familiarity of an acquaintance.

He contemplated briefly before asking, "May I ask which Supreme you are?"

Considering Cheng Qingshan was aware of him, yet dared to speak so frankly, it had to be a Supreme.

If he dared to claim he wasn’t a Supreme, this account would have to be settled sooner or later.

"You don’t need to ask so much," Qu Jianlei straightforwardly said, "Xiao Moshan is clear on it himself, tell me the situation."

Seeing the other’s firm stance, Cheng Qingshan didn’t press further.

"He is currently under isolation review and needs a commanding voice from the military. Can you extend a helping hand?"

Isolation review... Qu Jianlei was not surprised; Youyou had faced a similar situation in the past.

But just this bit of information wasn’t enough. He had to understand it clearly, "What is the nature?"

There’s really no nature to it; the charges are yet to be determined. After all, Xiao Moshan is part of the military intelligence system and has support from others.

If not for this reason, Cheng Qingshan wouldn’t have communicated with him multiple times.

Qu Jianlei pondered briefly and asked again, "I remember you have quite a few friends in the military, can’t they speak up?"

Cheng Qingshan is not just the first person at the Engineering College; his students are all over the world, with numerous alumni and comrades.

"Not quite influential enough," Cheng Qingshan candidly replied, "I personally suggest that a Supreme’s involvement would be more appropriate."

Qu Jianlei anticipated this possibility, "Is it appropriate for a non-military Supreme to intervene?"

"That depends on the person," Cheng Qingshan answered gravely, "The more influential, the better."

Just then, Granny Jia walked over and pointed to herself upon hearing, clearly volunteering.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Alright, I will find a Supreme... Who should I contact specifically?"

Cheng Qingshan was noticeably taken aback; he didn’t expect the other party not to involve himself directly but to find another Supreme.

How in your words, Supremes are like street vendors, ready to be summoned at any time?

However, since the person already asked who to contact, it was clearly not idle boasting.

"Just contact me," he answered very politely, "After all, I know quite a few people."

Qu Jianlei waved his watch at Granny Jia: How about you take this call?

Granny Jia, however, waved her hand and then took out her own watch, shaking it slightly: I’ll handle it myself.

After the Panda ended the call, she said, "I’ve dealt with this guy before, consider it’s you who found me."

Qu Jianlei nodded at her words; Granny Jia’s approach was better, showcasing their strong intelligence capabilities.

Honestly speaking, despite the hardships after crossing over, the team he pulled together was extremely reliable.

About ten minutes later, Granny Jia dialed Cheng Qingshan’s watch, "Heard you have a student who needs someone to say a few words?"

Did they actually bring her out? Cheng Qingshan looked at the watch number and almost exclaimed in shock.

He had wide connections and was fully aware of how formidable Jia Shuqing was—even among the Supremes, she possessed immense deterrence.

Let’s put it this way, he had her watch number but dared not contact her proactively; the consequence was beyond his bearing.

Calming himself, he politely responded, "Greetings, Your Excellency, I didn’t expect to disturb you."

"No worries," Granny Jia nonchalantly remarked, "Go on, who should I contact to put in a word?"

Your name alone is quite effective, Cheng Qingshan quickly replied.

"No need to trouble you, as long as you have the intention, I’ll relay the message myself."

He truly didn’t dare to trouble Granny Jia to step in, in fact, just her willingness to convey the message was already immensely respectable.

However, Granny Jia very bluntly refused, "No need, I’ll handle it personally, don’t want to drag it out too long."

Hearing this, Cheng Qingshan was stunned; Xiao Moshan’s friend’s influence was indeed extraordinary.

After composing himself, he lightly coughed, "Your Excellency, if they ask how you got the information..."

Cheng Qingshan clearly understood that the people Xiao Moshan knew... likely had somewhat sensitive identities.

Otherwise, Xiao Moshan would have told him who they were—it wasn’t convenient, so he didn’t say.

Granny Jia naturally understood what he was thinking, and she also wanted to distance herself from the Panda, "Of course, I heard it from you!"

"Then that works," Cheng Qingshan let out a long breath, finally, Xiao Moshan was saved.

Besides that, he could also showcase to others his closeness with Jia Shuqing—such an opportunity was extremely rare!
