Starting Cultivation in Wasteland
Chapter 1250 - 1110: I Want to Go See
Chapter 1250: Chapter 1110: I Want to Go See
Xiang Xue really didn’t want to deal with this mess.
Despite the fact that in this large guesthouse, she could decide everything with a single word, and her authority was undeniable.
But she truly didn’t want to be tied down here. It wasn’t that having power felt bad, rather she was still young.
The world is so big, and she wanted to see it; she wasn’t content to stick to just her small plot of land.
Silver Fir thought she was being too simplistic, "You’re guarding the retreat for everyone, which is actually really important."
He always advocated for having multiple backup plans, yet he wasn’t even sure how many secret vaults he had set up.
However, there weren’t many retreat paths guarded by someone, counting carefully there’s just Paradise Star and Homeland Star.
Originally, Qingsha Star could have one too, but it eventually got targeted, so it had to be temporarily abandoned.
As for Shanshui Small Building, Niaoming Stream, and Gustine’s domain?
While they’re in prosperous societies, they’re just simple footholds, not only is there property rights dispute, but crucially... they don’t produce anything!
Honestly speaking, both the farm on Homeland Star and the guesthouse on Paradise Star don’t make much profit.
Even if the guesthouse earns millions annually, it ultimately doesn’t compare to the profit one can easily seize.
Yet, there’s still a difference between having and not having profit!
Xiang Xue remained unmoved, "These words should be said by the boss, no matter how you put it, I won’t listen!"
Silver Fir could only smile bitterly, realizing that having clones had its inconveniences.
Just then, someone called Xiang Xue’s handheld radio, "That person... has come again!"
Xiang Xue paused in leisure, then her eyes shifted, "Today... we have someone to receive them!"
The one who came was the Guardian Supreme Iron Skin Snake of the planet.
When Paranoid guarded this place, he got along well with the Guardian Supreme, often coming over for a chat.
The key was the latter found the other’s breadth of knowledge showed a potential link to those beyond Supreme.
He liked chatting with Paranoid, otherwise, why would the Guardian Supreme frequently come looking?
Unfortunately, Paranoid had left long ago.
At the same time, Xiang Xue mentioned that it’s thanks to Iron Skin Snake occasionally visiting, so no one dared to easily eye the guesthouse.
Bentley heard this, so he nodded, "Let’s meet them then."
Iron Skin Snake heard that they changed the Supreme to guard and wasn’t very enthusiastic.
But it was better than coming up empty every time, and they came from the same force; their knowledge shouldn’t differ too much, right?
At his first glance at Bentley, he was a bit surprised, "Did you just advance... Electromagnetic Attribute?"
As expected of the Guardian Supreme, not only did he discover that the other advanced recently, but he also judged the attribute.
Like Hongyun’s Five Short Supreme, who was just a bit short, only sensed Bentley had just advanced to Supreme but didn’t perceive the attribute.
--If he could confirm the electromagnetic attribute at that time, his actions wouldn’t be so arrogant.
Iron Skin Snake was different, his cultivation level had already reached the Supreme Peak, with extraordinary insight.
If not, he wouldn’t have been able to chat so much with Paranoid.
After recognizing the attribute as electromagnetic, he no longer underestimated the other just because they had just advanced.
"You’re the second electromagnetic Supreme I’ve seen... I never thought I’d see the second one in my lifetime."
Bentley nodded slightly without speaking, but Xiang Xue curiously asked, "Who was the other one?"
"That person is no longer around," Iron Skin Snake casually replied.
He knew Xiang Xue was the guesthouse manager, so a response was no issue.
However, there were several A-levels present, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable, "Chat alone?"
The others left hearing this, but Bentley nodded to Silver Fir, indicating for him to stay.
After all, he hadn’t interacted much with Imperial society, nor did he have much cultivation insight, fearing he’d slip up while communicating.
Iron Skin Snake didn’t mind, during Supreme exchanges, having someone serve nearby was quite normal.
Mainly if there were too many listeners, it became noisy, which was disrespectful to the Supreme.
However, in the conversation with the Supreme on the other side, mostly this strangely spirited guy replied, which seemed odd.
Iron Skin Snake liked chatting with Paranoid not just because they clicked, but mainly because convenient people to interact with were few.
It’s not that a Supreme must keep an air, but too much contact with those below Supreme can easily lead to issues.
It’s akin to the Imperial version of "distance breeds resentment, closeness breeds disrespect," and being in a high position interacting with those below can indeed be inconvenient.
So he was a bit displeased initially, but as the chat went on, and the other could respond to anything, he let go of that bit of grudge.
However, after the grudge dissipated, a bit of curiosity arose in his heart: what level exactly is this person?
Using Spiritual Power arbitrarily to probe was impolite, especially as the other not only had an electromagnetic Supreme but also other formidable Supremes.
So he straightforwardly asked, "This... what realm has your cultivation reached?"
"Supreme," Silver Fir answered without hesitation, "If you sense something odd, it’s because I have certain considerations."
Of course, he wouldn’t disclose the specifics, and Iron Skin Snake understood this—if the other doesn’t speak, don’t ask.
But surprisingly, the conversation was also with a Supreme, which completely dispelled his other distractions.
This time the exchange was completed, and another night passed.
As he left, Iron Skin Snake was very satisfied—no wonder they came from the same cabal, their insights were indeed extraordinary.
However, after leaving the guest house, he considered another issue, "Why does it feel a bit... like standard energy?"
Standard energy is the common energy in society, quite different from the energy released by the Awakened’s bodies.
One had to admit, Iron Skin Snake indeed lived up to his role as Guardian Supreme, being much stronger than an ordinary Supreme.
However, although he recognized this, he did not continue to dwell on it.
The reason is simple, the people at the guest house... they are truly a bit mysterious.
He had chatted all night with the Paranoid several times, yet, up until now, he didn’t know the other party’s name.
He tried to ask, but the other party didn’t answer, so he stopped asking.
Later, the Imperial conducted a detailed investigation on the Supremes, but he covered for them.
— Since the other party had his difficulties, he would try his best to provide some convenience; this is also the mutual care between Supremes.
The same goes for the two tonight, who also did not reveal identities, so why should he bother pondering?
Bentley also sensed Iron Skin Snake’s Cultivation Realm and couldn’t help but ask, "Will he realize you’re a robot?"
"Even if he does, it doesn’t matter," Silver Fir replied nonchalantly, "He may think I’m under your control."
"The Paranoid said, this person has great insight and sufficient survival intelligence."
They originally planned to stay here for ten days, until Xiang Xue and the others fully mastered Instant Flash, then they could leave.
But unforeseen, on the sixth day of their arrival, a dispute occurred in the guest house.
By rights, such matters shouldn’t have disturbed them, as all services were outsourced.
Yet, a B-level Warrior came to Xiang Xue, "Boss, there are three A-levels causing trouble for the guests."
Besides living services, security services were also outsourced, and this B-level was the duty-bound security captain.
"Such things..." Xiang Xue felt speechless, "Do they still dare to cause trouble?"
Even within outsourced security services, there are security companies where nobody involved is easy to provoke.
In fact, the security companies have connections with local gray forces, and the guest house pays a certain protection fee monthly.
It’s not that there’s nobody daring to cause trouble here, but it usually happens when they’re drunk.
Xiang Xue, accustomed to such things, felt there was no need to pay attention.
However, the B-level timidly indicated, "They’re from River Technology."
River Academy is the premier academy of Paradise Star, while River Technology is a technology conglomerate where the academy holds a large stake.
Even the minor shareholders are mostly River graduates, with ninety-nine percent of the employees from River.
Paradise Star, as one of the Gemini Stars, has already surpassed Homeland Star in terms of prosperity.
But Paradise is not satisfied with this, aiming for a complete surpassing—in culture and technology, etc.
River Academy is a key target of government support, achieving brilliant results in recent years.
River Technology, as an integrated group of science, industry, and trade under the academy, has not only received key support but also yielded fruitful results.
This technology company generally does not interact with ordinary people; its products are meant to compete with other planets.
Yet underestimating this company is a grave mistake, as it can mobilize all River graduates when necessary.
This occurrence had precedents in the past.
River Academy’s comprehensive strength is far inferior to the Four Greats, with few progressing to Supremes.
However, these few are relative, with at least dozens of Supremes still alive among River alumni, spread across various industries.
Xiang Xue’s outsourced security company finds dealing with such companies really headache-inducing.
Though they have local connections and considerable influence, River alumni are spread throughout Paradise Star.
Furthermore, not all River alumni took the righteous path, with quite a few mingling in gray areas after graduation.
The security company hence finds itself in distress—River Technology is usually low-key but not easy to provoke.
Xiang Xue, however, was indifferent, "No matter who they are, this is a legitimate business venue, I ask them to respect that!"
Although River Technology indeed receives government support, doesn’t Yunwu Mountain Tourism Area also have backing?
The B-level chuckled bitterly and said, "We’ve told them, but they... are not listening."
At that moment, there was a commotion in the front yard, very loud.
Xiang Xue frowned, but still rose into the air, flying to the front yard.
At a glance, she saw four or five people loudly arguing, while opposite them were several security guards blocking them.
Behind the security stood a man, a woman, and four children, one held in the woman’s arms, the other three larger.
"Quiet!" Xiang Xue landed and spoke in a Leng Bingbing tone, "Do you know what place this is?"
