Starting Cultivation in Wasteland
Chapter 732 - 602: Look at How Big-Headed You Are
Faced with Yuanyuan's question, Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes and asked disgruntledly, "Do you know what this is for?"
"It's a secret of Xingluo Academy, I just don't believe... you're not afraid of Xingluo!"
Yuanyuan pursed her lips and countered indifferently, "What's there to be afraid of?"
"All forces with secrets are eyeing each other's secrets, that's not surprising... do you think there are everlasting secrets?"
Hearing this, you could tell she's a true second-generation, not only does she disregard Xingluo Academy, but she also deeply understands the machinations between big forces.
Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow, "Then can you tell me something?"
Yuanyuan looked at him with big eyes, "The origin of my heritage, of course."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Not enough, saying it comes from the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion, is there a difference between asking and not asking?"
Yuanyuan shook her head and answered earnestly, "I won't be that perfunctory, but your information should also be valuable."
Qu Jianlei was intrigued and proposed a second condition. He wasn't curious about the Ion Armor itself and wasn't considering it in the short term.
He just wanted to know what adaptations might relate to Divine Land's heritage.
And the other's reactions indicated that this might indeed have a significant connection.
So he nodded slightly, "Then... is it confidential?"
"You can rest assured about that," Yuanyuan answered without hesitation, "I absolutely won't let the information leak from my mouth."
Qu Jianlei nodded and spoke decisively, "Agreed, she got a longsword and a bottle of pills in the Inner Circle."
He's not someone who leaks secrets frivolously, but Xiao Bai has already been noticed by Xingluo Academy for her rewards.
This matter can't remain a complete secret; according to that little one, leakage is only a matter of time.
So he played the time gap to exchange for some useful information, not unreasonable, right?
"Longsword..." Yuanyuan furrowed her brow and muttered thoughtfully, "Is it a weapon or a magical treasure?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her curiously. This little one really knows a lot of things.
The next moment, Yuanyuan spoke again, "You can't say you don't know the design and specifications of the longsword, right?"
"It's just a very common longsword," Qu Jianlei demonstrated with his hands, "this long, this wide... double-edged."
Yuanyuan asked thoughtfully, "Does the sword have any engravings?"
This guy really knows a lot; she even knows the sword might have engravings.
However, Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her with exasperation, "If it did, would I not tell you?"
"Alright then," Yuanyuan wasn't bothered and asked again, "What does the pill look like?"
Qu Jianlei described the pill bottle, "It has alien divine text on it, but now it's your turn to show sincerity, right?"
Yuanyuan answered without hesitation, "My heritage comes from a friend of an elder, originating from military research institutes..."
"The military abandoned improved techniques, I tried it and luckily succeeded."
Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow unhappily, "Please be more detailed; how is this different from not saying anything?"
Yuanyuan spread her chubby hands helplessly, "The military abandoned it, and the elder's friend improved it."
"There's more, isn't it?" Qu Jianlei asked unhappily, "When you say you have a backing, do you mean your elder or..."
"The elder's friend counts as half a mentor to him," Yuanyuan answered solemnly, "They have a group of like-minded friends."
Qu Jianlei impatiently retorted, "How many Supreme among them? I'm curious... daring to pick leftover military matters?"
Yuanyuan answered without hesitation, "I know there are about ten or eight."
"Some are indeed in the military, but it doesn't mean they'll stay there all the time; those people think differently than we do."
"About ten or eight Supreme?" Qu Jianlei was quite astonished upon hearing this; no wonder this little one's tone is so big.
However, there was still a question, "Can you leave after entering the military research institute?"
"Isn't that normal?" Yuanyuan looked at him blankly, clearly puzzled by such a naive question.
"The cultivation approach of the Awakened was first created by the Primordial Superpower Warriors."
"Even the military is just riding on success, where's the courage to argue... doesn't your family have Primordial Warriors?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, replying straightforwardly, "No, my family was never rich, my power comes from mutation."
"It's not just about your family's ancestors," Yuanyuan spoke so frankly, "As long as someone among you has it, don't tell me there's none."
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "Since you say so, I can only say I'm not sure if there are any."
Yuanyuan shook her head and spoke disinterestedly, "Truly boring, your turn now... what's the text on the bottle?"
"I'm dissatisfied with the answer," Qu Jianlei shook his head, displeased, "I don't even know what your organization is called."
Yuanyuan furrowed her brow, looking at him in surprise, "Organization is just a code name... is the name really important?"
"Alright, you win," Qu Jianlei lost his temper, "I suppose your origins aren't something convenient to discuss either?"
Yuanyuan looked at him with an extremely strange gaze, "Does your organization have a Primordial Warrior family?"
This wasn't a repeat of the previous question, but a statement—without a Primordial Warrior family, why are you even asking!
Alright, Qu Jianlei sighed lightly, "On the elixir bottle, there were two divine texts written."
"Which two?" Yuanyuan immediately regretted after asking, "I mean, do you remember the look of the divine texts?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her and spoke calmly, "Does your organization know anyone familiar with Alien Divine Texts?"
It's really the same sentence structure, same tone... It's just a matter of time, don't believe it? Look up and see, who does the heavens spare?
Yuanyuan sensed his malice, but after hesitating a moment, she nodded, "We have some research, write them down first."
Qu Jianlei didn't get calculative because he doubted her. He simply scribbled the two words onto the dirt.
Yuanyuan furrowed her brows and looked for a good while, then pointed at the first word, "This seems to mean... carving with a stone?"
You're really something amazing, aren't you? Qu Jianlei was astonished inside but remained calm outwardly.
"I don't know if you're right or wrong, you know, I don't recognize any Primordial Warrior families."
"You do know!" Yuanyuan confidently responded, "You just want to see me make a fool of myself!"
Qu Jianlei was startled by what he heard—could it be that she can read minds?
But the next moment, he realized, this person wasn't guessing anything; she was speaking irresponsibly.
The problem with the second generation is they dare speak sensitive words freely and can say irresponsible things carelessly.
Qu Jianlei shook his head straightforwardly, "You're overthinking. I really don't know. If you can't trust me, then never mind."
Seeing his demeanor, Yuanyuan lost her serious curiosity, "Alright, this bottle is so small, how many pills are inside?"
"I don't know," Qu Jianlei shook his head, answering straightforwardly, "Xingluo is asking around everywhere to translate these two divine texts."
"Them? Heh," Yuanyuan smirked noncommittally, "Curious about who they can invite."
"Don't get off topic," Qu Jianlei didn't forget his original intention, "It's your turn to describe the specific content of the inheritance."
"Don't even think about it!" Yuanyuan jumped high, not knowing how such a small one could jump so high—are you a flea?
Oh, you're A-level, can fly? Well, that's alright then!
However, clearly it can't just be alright. Yuanyuan herself knew it too.
"This inheritance is self-improved by the military, and the main template comes not only from the Celestial Hook Enigma Mansion but also the Maiden Star Realm."
"Maiden Star Realm..." Qu Jianlei squinted his eyes and sighed after a moment of silence.
All evidence shows that the Maiden Star Realm is where the most relics are, with Celestial Hook merely being close to this star realm.
However, the Maiden Star Realm is typically a high-risk region where the astronomical phenomena are complex and ever-changing. Although opportunities are many, so are dangers.
Not to mention, the military has already taken over the entire star realm and forbids others from entering casually.
The dangers inside are real, but ordinary people wanting to risk it all first have to face these three words—you're not worthy!
Even Qu Jianlei himself is eager about the Maiden Star Realm and plans to complete his advancement in the Celestial Hook Star Realm.
He didn't ask further, and after a while, Yuanyuan became curious.
"You don't seem interested in the principles of Ion Purification Armor?"
"If you want to speak, you can go ahead," Qu Jianlei casually responded, "I just want to know the source of your inheritance."
He didn't ask, so Yuanyuan was instead interested in explaining to him.
"Actually, this kind of adaptable technique is an experiment. Some believe that the awakened's development direction might have a problem."
She spoke directly, and Qu Jianlei didn't want to beat around the bush too much either, so he nodded, "I have the same feeling."
"Hmm?" Yuanyuan curiously looked at him, also feeling the same sigh: This guy really knows quite a bit!
Since that was the case, she was more inclined to converse a bit, "Then you're not asking about my improvements?"
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and answered, "I also have my improvement ideas. Your plan can at most be a reference, not very significant."
Well then... Yuanyuan was a bit indignant upon hearing this—I've never seen anyone this arrogant while growing up.
"If I didn't hear wrong, you're saying you want to conduct independent research... belittling the wisdom crystallized by so many people?"
Even if it were a team study, it would count. But a single person researching, who gave you the confidence to speak like that?
Qu Jianlei nonchalantly responded, "More people doesn't mean the direction is correct. Truth is often in the hands of a few."
Look at the cheek on you, just daring to say anything! Yuanyuan couldn't take it anymore and reached out her fair chubby little hand toward him.
"Then, your research results? Show them so I can evaluate."
Qu Jianlei glanced at her, and after being stunned for a moment, replied, "Look at the cheek on you!"
