Chapter 97 Xiao Hu Upgrade (1st update to congratulate Brother Huang Jinmengbangzi 9/10)
The breakthrough Qu Jianlei talks about is not a breakthrough in Qi refining.
Recently, he has been busy hunting to make money. Although he is also practicing, he has not felt any signs of breaking through the seventh level of Qi refining.
He was talking about the upgrade of Xiao Hu. This winter, he read a lot of mechanical books and the database has been enriched.
When he was visualizing Xiao Hu recently, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Big Head Butterfly was slightly stuck when turning in circles.
This kind of reaction is not unfamiliar to him. At Blue Star, whenever Xiao Hu wanted to upgrade the database, a similar phenomenon would occur.
At that time, he was sure that Xiao Hu had no sense of independent personality - and he did not dare to openly challenge the social consensus.
But it was really difficult for him to determine what Xiao Hu looked like now.
In any case, he was looking forward to its upgrade. Unfortunately, this body was still a bit weak and could not support its computing power.
Just now Geng Shou Gong sent another three hundred books, and he wanted to try it. Can Xiao Hu be upgraded? Hearing that he was going to retreat to study mechanical knowledge again, Hua Xiezhi and Cindy were a little speechless.
Claire even asked directly, "Is mechanical knowledge so interesting?"
"Of course it's interesting," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "How about you follow suit?"
"No," Claire shook his head like Pellet Drum, "I would like to learn sword skills from you."
She was already rebellious at her age, and she had long been covetous of the sword skills taught by boss Panda.
But this idea is not out of the ordinary. Wasteland also has many female adventurers, including some experts like Hua Xiezhi.
Spencer couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this - is another team about to be attacked? Panda boss takes action so frequently, this... is not good, right? Qu Jianlei came out of seclusion after seven days. The custom is to make a big pot of meat first and eat it very much.
Finding that his mood was not quite right, others did not dare to ask more questions, but Claire was bolder and asked, "How was the harvest from the retreat?"
"The harvest is okay," Qu Jianlei's answer was a little uninterested, "It's just... it's too expensive."
This time the upgrade of Xiao Hu consumed another Rank B Crystal, and he also had a splitting headache for three days.
The harvest is definitely good. Xiao Hu has absorbed the mechanical knowledge of Wasteland into the entire database in an orderly manner.
It is a comprehensive absorption. Qu Jianlei can even make customized changes to the machinery of Wasteland.
After three days of headache, Xiao Hu's computing power has improved somewhat.
But what makes Qu Jianlei depressed is that he only has one crystal of Rank B left in his hand.
This crystal can help him rush to the seventh level of Qi Refining, but if he reaches the eighth level, there is no need to think about it.
Seeing that everything was in vain, he was also worried... While Rank B Crystal is still effective, you can't use Rank A in advance, right?
The key is that the crystals of Rank A are also Buduo. There are only two crystals in total... plus one unformed one.
It's true that if you don't practice, you don't know that you are poor, Qu Jianlei thought gloomily while eating meat.
Spencer came back at night and found that he had left seclusion. He was somewhat surprised: Didn't he attack others secretly?
This was what he was thinking, and he provided new information, "Red Snow personally came forward to offer a reward for Black Wind's attack!"
"Red Snow..." Qu Jianlei was a little speechless at the news, "What do they think? Are they only allowed to steal things from Black Wind?"
"The main reason is that I have no clue," Spencer replied disapprovingly, "Red Snow feels like being slapped in the face..."
Then he sighed and looked a little ugly, "It is said that among the supplies Black Wind was robbed, there were two Mutated Crystal."
"Mutated Crystal?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, but couldn't help but cursed in his heart, there is a P Mutated Crystal.
"It must be fake news," Old Swindler could all think of this. However, the crux of the problem is, "Money and silk can move people's hearts."
Qu Jianlei was a little depressed at first, and then realized, isn't this the reason why I bought Crystal? "Have they said, what are these two crystals?"
"No," Old Swindler shook his head, and then spoke seriously, "I guess they might want to catch that Silly Qu."
"The reward amount for Silly Qu has now increased to two thousand, mainly because that guy also likes Mutated Crystal."
"Who doesn't like Mutated Crystal?" Qu Jianlei asked nonchalantly, and then expressed.
"Please help me find out where the crystal of Variant Snow Silk Ape can be found... I'll pay a high price for it."
"Variant Snow Silk Ape?" Spencer raised his eyebrows, "Only accept this one, or do you want to accept all Rank B Crystal?"
"Mainly Variant Snow Silk Ape," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Others... it depends on the specific situation."
Old Swindler thought about it for a moment, and then asked again, "If we do this... will it be a little more ostentatious?"
If someone suspects that you are Silly Qu, we may be in for a disaster.
"Just let it go," Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "Variant Snow Silk Ape has something to say. It's abnormal for me not to care."
What he said was absolutely correct. On the third day, Geng Shou Gong came to the door, "Variant Snow Silk Ape crystallization... have you reached the bottleneck?"
Most people can't use Mutated Crystal, but this crystal is an exception - maintenance technicians can use it! Snow Ape Crystal can effectively improve the repairman's feel and enhance stability.
Qu Jianlei didn't know this knowledge originally, it was the information he got from books recently.
As for how to use crystals to improve the feel and enhance stability, the book does not explain it clearly - you will understand naturally if you understand.
So Qu Jianlei is not afraid to let it out directly. As a maintenance engineer, if he doesn't respond in this situation, that's abnormal, right?
Geng Shou Gong being able to come directly to his door means that there are many people with bright eyes who know what he is asking for.
"It's not necessarily a bottleneck," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "But since a crystal has appeared, shouldn't I give it a try?"
"Indeed," Geng Shou Gong nodded Diandian with deep understanding, "But do you have enough money?"
"When it comes to money, there is always a way," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It's nothing more than seven or eight thousand Silver Coin."
He bought Rank B Crystal at Hong-Character Settlement Area, which was actually five thousand Silver Coin. Now he said a little more.
"Seven or eight thousand Silver Coin, what are you thinking about?" Geng Shou Gong suddenly opened his eyes wide, "At least twelve thousand, okay?"
Qu Jianlei was also stunned when he heard this, "Is it so expensive?"
"Of course," Geng Shou Gong looked at him angrily and amusedly.
"For ordinary Rank B Crystal, seven or eight thousand is enough, but the crystal of Snow Silk Ape can be used by ordinary people."
"That's right," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded. This logic is too simple, "But I thought less about it."
Geng Shou Gong looked around and lowered his voice, "Do you really want the Snow Silk Ape Crystal? Do you have enough money?"
"I can scrape together some money," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "I still have some discounts... Do you have this crystal?"
For him now, money is really not a big problem.
Although he is not rich, money can be earned or robbed, but crystallization is hard to come by.
"I can help you a little," Geng Shou Gong's eyes flickered a little, "Using the method of crystallization... can you sell it?"
This was the real purpose of his hurry.
Everyone knows that the crystallization of Snow Silk Ape is good for repairmen, but not many people know how to use it.
Geng Shou Gong's status is already high, but even he doesn't know how to use this thing.
This question really surprised Qu Jianlei, but thinking about it again, it seemed like nothing.
So he shook his head simply, "Sorry, actually I don't know how to do it. I'll wait until I buy the crystal and then find someone to teach me."
"Can't you?" Geng Shou Gong is really angry and funny. How stupid must I be to believe what you say? Is it possible to spend such a large amount of money to buy something that you don't know when you will use it? Moreover, this kind of usage method cannot be learned simply by wanting to learn it - even Geng Shou Gong cannot be obtained.
But the other party didn't want to say it, and he couldn't force it. The forces that knew this method were not something ordinary people could provoke.
So he could only say, "Just pretend I didn't ask."
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei will not give up so easily, "I hear you mean, do you know where the crystal is?"
He deliberately did not emphasize "Snow Silk Monkey", just because he wanted to know what the other party was like.
"If you want to buy crystals, go to Main Settlement," Geng Shou Gong replied simply, "There are a lot of crystals there."
After a pause, he added, "But it's expensive. Don't say I didn't warn you."
"I also know that Main Settlement has a lot of crystals," Qu Jianlei said disapprovingly, "But there are also a lot of disgusting people there."
When Geng Shou Gong heard this, he felt that he was a very knowledgeable person, so he simply said, "I can help you introduce two trustworthy people."
"Really?" Qu Jianlei looked him up and down, his eyes full of suspicion, "How to use crystals... I really don't understand."
"You're going too far," Geng Shou Gong rubbed his temples in distress, "Why should I help you if you don't give me anything?"
I love benefit-based exchanges! Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "Besides using the crystallization method... what else do you need?"
Want to throw money at me? Geng Shou Gong heard clearly, "I'm not short of money."
He said this very proudly. In fact, he was not short of money. He couldn't say how rich he was, but he was really not bad.
Qu Jianlei didn't feel too surprised. He emphasized again, "I'm asking, what else do you need?"
Geng Shou Gong Think about it and ask a question, "You have read a lot of mechanical journals. Can you write an in-depth one yourself?"
"Journal submission?" Qu Jianlei was happy when he heard this. Is this kind of thing still a big deal to him? When he was at Blue Star, he did this kind of thing a lot. Not unfamiliar at all.
Now that I am submitting to Wasteland, he will not think it is a problem.
Especially since Xiao Hu has just integrated the data here, it is not a problem to automatically generate some manuscripts.
Seriously, he was a little curious, "If my manuscript is too outstanding, I will be in trouble. Aren't you worried?"
Chapter 98 Anatomy? (Second update, congratulations to Brother Bangzi 10/10)
Faced with Qu Jianlei's question, Geng Shou Gong answered without hesitation.
"I'm just worried that your writing isn't outstanding enough... As long as it's outstanding enough, I can help you no matter how hard it is!"
Qu Jianlei looked at him thoughtfully, "Do you... want some performance?"
Of course Geng Shou Gong wants performance, and he does not hide this, "Just write, it will be Universe Six's performance."
"Not much interest," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "I'm not Universe Six's person."
Geng Shou Gong was not angry, but asked happily, "Can you really write something Xi Lai?"
If you write Xi Lai here, I'm afraid you'll be dealing with more than just slicing, right? Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes.
"Can you tell me about the review standards of this journal? I also want to know about the distribution aspect."
Geng Shou Gong looked at him with a puzzled face, "You don't know?"
"Of course I don't know," Qu Jianlei's eyes were full of doubts, "Should I know?"
Didn't know it was allowed! Geng Shou Gong understands this very well.
Let alone outsiders, insiders may not necessarily understand the procedures for review and issuance.
He rubbed his forehead and organized his words, "Actually, it's okay not to know. Just concentrate on writing your manuscript."
"I'm not interested in writing at the moment," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "Because I don't know enough."
Geng Shou Gong understands that it's not that this guy doesn't know enough, but pure psychological rejection.
So he hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Then there's no need to write, life will continue as usual."
Four months later, spring came, and Universe Six jumped from severe winter to early summer.
Qu Jianlei During this period, I went hunting twice more, just to make ends meet.
He has never done mechanical maintenance again, not because he doesn't want to do it, but simply because his price is too high.
Now that spring has begun, Qu Jianlei is going to go out and do some activities.
Universe Six This place is not that bad, but he feels that there should be higher and higher skies worth exploring by himself.
The main reason is that it is no longer absolutely safe here, and we have to explore a safer place.
Then go to Main Settlement for a walk. Qu Jianlei has been in this world for eight years, and I have never seen Main Settlement.
However, at the beginning of spring, the road was not easy to travel, so we had to wait more or less.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. Qu Jianlei had already finished reading the book. He didn't want to wait any longer and decided to leave with Hua Xiezhi.
Spencer has been let go, and Cindy and Claire both have the identity of Settlement.
Both of these women want to follow them, but the key is that there is no point in staying.
But in Qu Jianlei's mind, he always remembers Xiao Jing and Cracked - those two could have survived.
So he warned them very Zhengzhong, "Your identities outside the city are not exposed, so go ahead and live in the city for a while."
The living conditions of mother and daughter Cindy have improved a lot, especially Claire, who is already a minor overlord outside the city.
She didn't show off her resident status. She was really young and had Super-Frequency Oscillating Short Dagger and Laser Pistol in her body.
At one glance, you can tell that she is someone who is not easy to mess with, and she has a character that will not suffer any loss.
At the same time, she can also help introduce business to boss Panda. Outside the city, few teenagers dare to provoke her.
But the good thing is that although she is domineering, she doesn't like to bully the weak, and she is considered the king of children outside the city.
Cindy saw that Qu Jianlei was resolute, so he took the initiative to ask, "Are you coming back?"
"If nothing happens," Qu Jianlei dared not say anything, "Come back before winter."
Cindy's eyelids are not bad, she guessed that these two people have a big secret, "Do you want to buy a house in the city?"
"Buy a set," Qu Jianlei took out another five hundred Silver Coin, "Put it in your name."
Settlement Houses are not cheap, let alone luxury houses. Houses in better locations cost more than 300 Silver Coin.
However, in comparison, the cost of living in Settlement is higher.
Qu Jianlei It's not that he is poor and generous, but he doesn't need to keep too many Universe Six's Silver Coin.
If he could come back here again, he wouldn't have to worry about making money. If he couldn't come back, Silver Coin would be easily exposed.
When he brought the mother and daughter together, he originally wanted to find helpers, but later found out that without their cover, his identity would have been exposed.
Qu Jianlei has always paid generously to those who have helped him.
Cindy's eyes were even more complicated, "What if you don't come back this winter?"
"When we wait until next winter," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "You can decide on your own."
"Then these Silver Coin..." Cindy wanted to make final confirmation.
Qu Jianlei shook his head disapprovingly, "If we don't come back, then of course it will be yours."
Hua Xiezhi heard this and also spoke out, "I've gone to the city. Don't leave the city before winter... you guys should leave first."
She knew how much trouble Black Sky had caused due to the death of Cracked and Xiao Jing, and believed that this was a hurdle that he could not overcome.
"Okay," Cindy Diandian nodded when he heard this, and he was not polite at all.
Seriously, she emphasized one point, "Don't worry, Claire and I have never met you two."
Hua Xiezhi smiled when he heard this, "It's not a big deal, just don't say it casually."
Early the next morning, Cindy took his daughter and entered the city in a different direction.
Claire was still a little confused, "Mom, why do you say you have never met the eldest and second sister?"
"They are in trouble," Cindy, who is very attentive in raising her daughter, explained carefully, "We have to keep it secret."
"If there is trouble... then kill the other party!" Claire said without hesitation, "They need help."
"It's not your turn," Cindy replied angrily, what has my daughter become?
"You are someone who can make even Boss Panda fearful. Do you think you can help?"
Claire was at a loss for words, but after a pause, she couldn't help but argue, "One more person always means more strength."
"We are both a drag," Cindy saw clearly, "I guess Yellow Scorpion might both be a drag. Can you be better than the second sister?"
When Claire heard this, she immediately stopped talking. Her idol was actually not Qu Jianlei, but Hua Xiezhi.
She would be satisfied if she could become an elite adventurer like her second sister - at least for now, this was her goal.
In the small courtyard, Hua Xiezhi was also talking to Qu Jianlei, "Are you worried that the other party will chase you?"
"You have to be on guard," Qu Jianlei replied with a dark face, "You can't imagine how cold-blooded they are."
Hua Xiezhi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why did you provoke them?"
Qu Jianlei also hesitated for a moment before answering, "First Generation Gene Modification Agent... I can handle it."
"Gene Modification Agent... Is there really such a thing?" Hua Xiezhi was shocked when he heard this, "What do you mean by carrying it through?"
Although she is an elite level adventurer, she only knows a little about the relevant information.
"Originally it's poison," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "It needs to be neutralized with a conditioning potion... Even then, not many can survive it."
"You held on without neutralizing..." Hua Xiezhi understood.
But precisely because she understood, she didn't dare to ask. It took her a long time to speak, "Like Ultimate Warrior?"
She also still remembers the two Ultimate Warrior she met - no one can forget them.
"I'm not sure if those two are genetic warriors," Qu Jianlei sighed softly, "Even if they are, the ones they used were not the first-generation potions."
Hua Xiezhi took another breath, "In other words, they want to catch you and dissect you?"
"I don't know what they want to catch me for," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "But I'm not without a background."
He now trusts Hua Xiezhi quite a bit. However, people's hearts cannot stand the test, so it is necessary to brag appropriately.
"You must have a background," Hua Xiezhi has no doubt about this. She was once captured by Sai family and knows exactly what happened.
She believed that the original Silly Qu was a lucky orphan.
But she definitely didn't believe that the surviving Silly Qu was lucky enough to have the strength of Black Sky now.
Now that she has practiced Tai Chi Thirteen Sabers to a so-so level, she knows that it is not something that an individual can just make up out of thin air.
Besides, Black Sky boss is really stupid? She couldn't tell at all.
"Anyway, this matter is not over yet," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "When I become stronger, I must regain my place."
Hua Xiezhi was silent, she wanted to ask: Can't you ask for help from the forces behind you?
However, things can't be done that way. She already knows a lot of secrets today, and going too far is not enough.
And these secrets are really frightening.
She thought again and again before asking again, "If you practice like you, can I become that powerful?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her indifferently and said, "The water is too deep here. If you fill it in one hundred and eighty, you won't be able to make a splash."
"I'm not afraid of being filled in," Hua Xiezhi replied without hesitation, "I'm just afraid that I'm not strong enough."
Qu Jianlei was not surprised by this answer. Nearly two years of contact were enough for him to understand her character.
But he still said, "But the vast majority of people fall on the road to becoming stronger. This road is not as easy as you think."
"I don't care," Hua Xiezhi had already thought about it, "How many adventurers have died?"
This makes sense, but Qu Jianlei still shook his head, "The law is not passed lightly. You have to understand this and take your time."
He didn't know if there was any spatial intersection between this place and Blue Star. Before he figured it out, he would never teach the technique easily.
"I understand," Hua Xiezhi nodded. She knew very well how rare it was to be able to strengthen herself, and she was a little anxious.
But she still regrets, "The main reason is that if I am too weak, it will be difficult for me to cooperate with you in fighting."
"You don't have to think about cooperation," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said straightforwardly, "When the real battle comes, you can just run."
Hua Xiezhi I immediately felt a little blocked in my chest. Even though I'm not that strong, I'm not that unbearable, right?
"At least I can drive to pick you up."
Qu Jianlei looked at her indifferently, "If you meet those two Ultimate Warrior... what are your chances of winning?"
(Finally, I have paid off Brother Bangzi's golden cuteness. Fortunately, there is no Diamond cuteness...)
