Chapter 1194: Chapter 1060: Guessed It

"Damn..." Qu Jianlei fished out a cigarette and was about to light it, but his hand shook upon hearing the news, nearly dropping it to the ground.

"Do you have such a big grudge against the Rebel Camp?"

"No grudge!" Nutrient Injection answered crisply, "I’m just a little A-level... Do I qualify?"

I like how you know your place! Qu Jianlei nodded, I also know my place!

"Neither of us qualifies, so let’s not talk about matters above us."

"But I always want to do something for the big bosses," Nutrient Injection remarked, "What’s worth pondering in the supreme realm?"

"You wouldn’t understand," Qu Jianlei didn’t want to continue this topic.

However, thinking of the other’s vast knowledge, he added, "The supreme corpses... I want them too!"

Nutrient Injection paused for a moment, then muttered softly, "Still say you’re not eating..."

"I told you, I hate eating people!" A rush of fire qi surged in Qu Jianlei’s heart.

"I analyze those corpses by researching them, to understand their advancement strategies, get it?"

"Don’t understand... Yeah right!" Nutrient Injection grinned, "People lie, corpses don’t deceive, is that what you mean?"

"Didn’t expect you to grasp the basics of materialism," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes.

"Your experiences, not sure who taught you... Here’s a piece of advice, don’t learn knowledge you can’t control!"

"If you only came to talk about the Sante issue, you can leave now!"

But Nutrient Injection shook his head, "That’s not the main point, just thought, with hundreds of billions involved... isn’t it good to earn some side cash?"

"You sure have your eyes set high," Qu Jianlei snorted, expressing bluntly, "Get to the point!"

"The main point... is to invite you, sir, to visit the Maiden Star Realm," Nutrient Injection spoke with a smile.

"I have some connections there and discovered some potential precautionary measures, wondering what you think?"

Maiden Star Realm... Qu Jianlei has become somewhat numb to this term.

Since fully engaging with imperial society, he’s heard too many people mention this place.

No doubt, it is filled with various miracles, but also countless dangers and sins—especially the latter!

Including the owner of the base they’re residing at—this wasteland belongs to the Haiyin Family.

Rhine once said she had connections in the Maiden Star Realm.

And Qu Jianlei once seriously considered using her connections to search for something there.

But then Ghost Cultivators appeared on Xueye Star, and the empire began thoroughly investigating the supreme.

Consequently, countless supremes flocked to the birthplace of Ghost Cultivators, the Maiden Star Realm, hoping to gain unexpected legacies or opportunities.

As a result, everything went into chaos! Qu Jianlei also halted his plans to visit the Maiden Star Realm.

And now, Nutrient Injection brought it up again.

To be honest, Qu Jianlei trusted Nutrient Injection more than anyone else!

Strangely enough, whether it’s the Earth Scholar Amolin or the Clone Skill wielder Palamera, both were worthy of trust.

These two are supremes and are very familiar with the Maiden Star Realm, having cooperated with him extensively.

Both invited him to the Maiden Star Realm to seek opportunities, but he ignored them, while Nutrient Injection is just an A-level.

Yet, Qu Jianlei was more inclined to trust Nutrient Injection, feeling he was more reliable.

This reason isn’t related to cultivation level; it’s purely because Nutrient Injection was incredibly thorough in his actions.

—Whatever he promised, he always fulfilled, never making anyone feel "forced."

Who wouldn’t want to cooperate with someone like that?

Nutrient Injection never talked about his cards, but he certainly had them—without cards, he wouldn’t be in such a position, but he just doesn’t mention them.

So that’s the importance of reputation, Qu Jianlei felt Nutrient Injection offered him great credibility!

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and spoke, "Do you have a target?"

"No," Nutrient Injection shook his head, surprisingly answering with confidence, "But I do have a few coordinates, and there’s some potential there."

Not so reckless, is it? Qu Jianlei was a bit astonished, "I spent nine days rushing back, and you’re playing this on me?"

He pondered for a moment, then still asked, "Is there another reason?"

Nutrient Injection hesitated for a second, then smiled and nodded, "As expected, you can’t hide anything from you."

Then he composed his expression, speaking seriously, "Originally, there was no urgency to go to the Maiden Star Realm, but Sante is dead... it’s best to lay low."

Qu Jianlei started to ponder, the Luxury Starship was arranged by Nutrient Injection, tracing it to him was normal.

The critical thing is that Sante is truly dead, and there’s no room left for maneuver.

Qu Jianlei had no regrets about killing Sante; killers are always killed, and even if his time came, he wouldn’t complain.

He voiced his concern, "Did it bring you trouble?"

"That actually doesn’t matter," Nutrient Injection shook his head, "I got here beforehand."

"But it’s not safe here either; better to leave quickly... those people are not only tricky, they’re very disgusting."

It was obvious that he wasn’t very afraid of the other party; he was rather impatient and disdainful.

This needs some discussion with everyone! Qu Jianlei made a decision.

However, he quickly realized something was amiss, "How did they find this place? Could it be Rhine..."

Currently, they were under the cover of the Haiyin Clan; if the other party followed the trail, they could only track the movements of the Nutrient Injection.

And this guy was elusive, even Qu Jianlei found it troublesome to track him—of course, this was also because he didn’t want to bother with it.

So, following this logic, the identity behind the other party becomes clear.

Moreover, it was genuinely hard to bump into Rhine before; he was always busy. Now, he was devotedly serving our group.

"Yes, I’m following them too," the Nutrient Injection nodded briskly, "My relationship with them is better than with Rhine."

No wonder! Qu Jianlei nodded, unable to suppress the curiosity as he asked again, "I wonder what that person is called?"

"Sorry," Nutrient Injection spread his hands, expressing candidly, "I can’t afford to offend either of you; please don’t make things difficult for me?"

"However, that person means that when the time comes, you will certainly know. She also... has worries about counteraction."

"Oh!" Qu Jianlei exclaimed, hearing this, and even his gaze towards Nutrient Injection changed.

"You really dare to discuss this; just how good is this relationship?"

Nutrient Injection nonchalantly replied, "There’s nothing that can’t be said, right? This is a secret known to all Supremes."

"If I were to deny it, I’d only raise suspicion; better to face the question directly."

Qu Jianlei nodded at this, appreciating the Nutrient Injection for his pragmatic approach, always focusing on facts without going around in circles.

He couldn’t help but ask again, "Do you know what type of counteraction they are facing?"

"Isn’t it?" Nutrient Injection looked at him, shocked and wide-eyed, "This question... you dare to ask it out loud?"

It was obvious that he was truly startled.

This time, it was Qu Jianlei’s turn to be nonchalant; he replied very casually.

"What’s there to ask? Counteraction objectively exists; can it be treated as nonexistent just by covering it up?"

"The proper way is to face issues and try to solve them; that’s the right attitude."

Nutrient Injection remained silent, took some time, and then asked, "Does the master mean there’s a possibility to solve the counteraction issue?"

"How could I dare to promise that?" Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently.

"I merely think one should maintain a positive mindset; efforts don’t guarantee results, but no efforts guarantee no results!"

Nutrient Injection blinked several times and smiled thoughtfully, "Master, you seem... very skilled in Divinatory Symbols and the Primordial Path?"

Qu Jianlei knew he couldn’t fool the other party but wouldn’t directly admit it either,

"The Empire is so vast, who dares to say they’re skilled? I’m asking because I’m considering future challenges in breaking through."

"Challenges to face..." Nutrient Injection murmured lightly, for some reason appearing slightly nonchalant.

Then he asked again, "If I were to convey to them... would master be interested in lending a hand to help?"

This was not really about interest, wasn’t it? Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and replied earnestly.

"The main reason is my team has been graciously looked after by them several times; one must understand gratitude, right?"

Nutrient Injection laughed hearing this, "There’s no need for that; they helped you guys casually, they wouldn’t mind it."

Qu Jianlei answered straightforwardly, "Whether he minds or not is his business; whether I express gratitude or not is mine, the two don’t contradict."

"Well, that is true," Nutrient Injection nodded upon hearing this, "I will report it to that person."

Then he inquired, "Did master purchase so many large computational units just for these calculations?"

"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded, with the capacity of the other party’s information gathering, he couldn’t possibly keep such details hidden.

So it’s better to admit openly, "Since it’s the technological era, it’s naturally important to make good use of various tools."

"Including the Instant Flash Technique I taught you, all deduced bit by bit using large computational units."

"Oh," Nutrient Injection nodded upon hearing that, and then asked thoughtfully, "Master, do you still need computational units?"

Big Head Butterfly spun around crazily, "Yes, certainly need!"

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and then laughed, "Receiving without contributing... feels a bit uncomfortable."

The computational units provided by the Supremes can’t be of poor quality, can they?

Nutrient Injection shook his head nonchalantly, "What are you talking about, master?"

"You are willing to help them solve problems; surely they wouldn’t take advantage of you either, preparing some handy tools isn’t a big deal?"

Qu Jianlei quickly waved his hand upon hearing this, speaking earnestly, "I can’t say I can solve the problems, but I have the intention."

"I understand," Nutrient Injection nodded decisively, "Having the intention is indeed commendable."

"Moreover, among those who can solve these issues in the Empire, besides master... others seem lacking."

"Such minor expenses, to them it’s truly nothing, but I still can’t make decisions, have to consult first."
