Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Qu Jianlei mentioned gene sequences, with a hint of testing the other party.

He didn't think the gene analysis device was a bottleneck. That thing requires qualifications to purchase, and it's a bit pricey, but that's only for ordinary people.

Such a large organization as the Earth Scholar, with such wild connections, couldn't possibly fail to get such equipment.

He mainly wanted to know the information platform's collection capabilities.

Sure enough, the other side admitted calmly, "The relevant gene samples have already been forcefully sealed by the government, impossible to obtain in the short term."

"However, if you have news, we are willing to buy it. It's very important to us."

"Never mind, let's share information," Qu Jianlei didn't intend to charge, "But pay attention to message blocking, alright?"

"Of course, no problem," the other party answered exceptionally straightforwardly, "I just want to know who the potential opponent is."

This time they used "I" instead of "we"? Qu Jianlei realized that the person speaking with him had a considerable cultivation level.

He directly sent over the gene characteristics and added, after a thought, "It was a former Star Thief from the Blade Star Realm."

With the gene characteristics, it's easy for the other party to discover the true identity of the deceased. Qu Jianlei simply provided the answer.

"Thanks for the information," the opposite side said politely, "No wonder the people at that gathering point ran away so fast."

"We'll look into the details further, do you have any plans for the next step?"

"Just kill a few more people," Qu Jianlei casually responded, "You have concerns about killing, I truly don't."

This time the other side paused before writing, "We have comprehensive considerations, mainly that the concealment isn't strong enough."

"No need to explain, I understand," Qu Jianlei replied, "It's no surprise to me if you pull out now."

"Don't talk like that," the other side casually replied, "Recently, don't move easily. The other side has considerable influence here,"

"I'll hide well," replied Qu Jianlei, "Such a pity, can't coordinate with you in battle now."

"Indeed, it's a bit inconvenient," the other side surprisingly admitted, "A Supreme is heading to the Star of Hope."

"Another Supreme?" Qu Jianlei was astonished, "The one from the research institute, right? A Supreme... not afraid to die, huh."

"Don't act tough," the other party slowly typed, "That group is troublesome, not lacking in Supremes."

Not lacking in Supremes? Qu Jianlei's lips curled into a cold smile, "Still not enough killing, what's the Supreme's name?"

"How do I dare call them by name?" the opposite side answered, "If you don't have a Strong Supreme on your side, it's best to avoid the limelight."

Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then casually replied, "I'll naturally leave when needed, but a mere Supreme, who's it scaring?"

The other side seemed a bit helpless, "But Cyan Blade has two Supremes, that needs consideration, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei was speechless, but he was also somewhat curious, "Cyan Blade wouldn't cooperate with the government, would it?"

The other side answered, "Harmony is enough, what's the need for cooperation? That's at least three Supremes."

"Moreover, the panda's wanted notice was jointly issued by the Star Domain Government and the military, other Supremes might have to give some face."

"Even if they don't want the bounty, they have to pretend to respond to the story. As for helping you retaliate, the possibility is too small."

Qu Jianlei didn't bother arguing further, he had already expressed his intention, whether others listen or not, it wasn't his concern.

But just three Supremes so far, he couldn't help but mutter, "Still not enough killing,"

The opposite side paused upon hearing, and then replied, "Your Electromagnetic A-level... needs to hide better."

Qu Jianlei casually replied, "He's still on Star No. 2, you're advising him not to come?"

Yesterday, he deliberately avoided using Electromagnetic Techniques, wanting to confuse others.

Because where the panda is usually located, it's often accompanied by Electromagnetic A-level, which, over time, leads to associations.

Maybe there's already a correlation now, but this just proves that he's still on Star No. 2, hasn't come to Star One.

Since the enemy is open while he's hidden, smoke bombs should be used as much as possible.

The opposite side answered, "He's already on the execution list, not just Cyan Blade Commerce Association, the Third War Zone won't let him go either."

Superpower Warriors have a license to kill, but an Electromagnetic A-level being on the execution list shows how much he's hated.

The reason is simple, Kushnier and Fahim's deaths are connected to the Electromagnetic A-level.

Especially the latter, killed twice by the opponent.

Then there's the Cyan Blade Commerce Association's contact point, also destroyed by the Electromagnetic A-level, not to mention the Customs Enforcement Division's Star No. 4 branch.

This Electromagnetic has indeed committed numerous crimes, Qu Jianlei sighed inwardly, "Cyan Blade doesn't want to ceasefire, do they?"

The opposite side's answer was honest, "Many hate that A-level, even if something happens, it's hard to distinguish who did it."

"Alright, that's it for today, contact if needed," Qu Jianlei instructed Xiao Hu to terminate the exchange.

The exchange was between an old man and a young B-level.

The young man, upon seeing the other side disconnect, couldn't help but mutter, "They can only contact us... should we track them?"

The old man snorted at the words, "If you think you can outsmart the Customs Enforcement Division's artificial intelligence, feel free to try."

The young man shrugged indifferently, "Artificial intelligence is just a pseudo-concept... its learning ability is too poor."

The old man shot him a glance, "So you're saying all those bigwigs and experts in the Imperial can't see things as clearly as you?"

The young man fell silent, then after a long pause, added, "As for the Cyan Blade... there seems to be some upheaval."

A few days ago, a fan of archaeology used a Wood Attribute Poison, scaring Cyan Blade, who was already waiting for their plea for mercy.

As a result, the government dispatched a Supreme to come by. Although Cyan Blade and the government are not aligned, they know how to follow the trend.

"Then let there be upheaval," the old man remarked indifferently, "I don't believe the Cyan Blade Commerce Association would stop doing business."

Whether the combat power of the Earth Scholars is stronger than Cyan Blade is unclear, but there's no doubt they are much more hidden than Cyan Blade.

The association aims to make money, but the archaeology fans are organized out of interest, and not being profitable doesn't affect their survival.

Meanwhile, at another Cyan Blade Commerce Association gathering point in Jiuchuan, everyone wore an angry expression.

After the High-Tech Zone gathering point was attacked, only a dozen clear-status individuals remained, the rest fled here.

Especially in the building where the Ice Attribute A-level was located, only two remained—a hired cook and a cleaner.

After a rough recap, they guessed the opponent's attack process from the previous day.

As for who the culprit was, it wasn't even a question; it was definitely that group of Pandas.

"They're not originally from Star One but came from Star No. 2... maybe from Star No. 4."

"Their actions are indeed strange, reminiscent of our execution department, striking ruthlessly and fleeing once successful."

At this moment, someone came to report, "There are Patrol Guards here, wanting to take our people for questioning."

"Let them question the people on site," a middle-aged man with slightly dark reddish skin said impatiently.

That skin tone is common among the natives of the Blade Star Realm, and indeed, this man was the Supreme Arindel from Blade.

The person reporting looked troubled, "They said many people fled here."

The association's people fled without hiding from the City Guard, and some needed City Guard cover to flee.

The reason is none other than the fact that the opponent is too fierce.

Hearing this, Arindel frowned in irritation, "They have the energy to hassle people, why not use it to catch the culprits instead, useless!"

Within the Cyan Blade Commerce Association, he was known for his bad temper and recently felt very frustrated.

Someone nearby cautiously suggested, "The opponent is very ruthless, opposing the official sides may not be wise, right?"

Another person also suggested, "Let them question here; no one needs to be taken away, and it prevents an attack from the opponent."

Upon hearing this, Arindel snorted but didn't comment further.

Seeing this, the person reporting knew what arrangements to make and turned to leave.

Arindel ignored him, instead speaking in a deep voice, "Analyze again, how many of them entered last night!"

After a silent moment, someone bravely answered, "It should be just one, the one who initially pretended to be Johnny."

"How is that possible?" Arindel snorted irritably, "First impersonating Johnny, then pretending to be Baike'er?"

"Regardless of how strong their Transformation Technique is, I ask, Johnny is Water Attribute, Baike'er is Gold Attribute... how do you explain that?"

Someone spoke up in support, "I agree with the lord, the opponent's force is generally adept at shapeshifting, there should be two."

Those who fled weren't convinced but no one dared to argue further—after all, their team's A-levels were all dead.

Someone then continued to support the Supreme, "The Electromagnetic A-level wasn't here this time, but is also skilled in shapeshifting, a bunch of backstabbing bastards."

One A-level raised a concern, "Kerry and the other A-levels were here, they didn't even have time to send out an alarm, how were they killed?"

Another person remarked, "I find it odd too, even if the Transformation Technique is strong, their mimicry capabilities are so good that no one noticed?"

There were too many questions; while the process was easy to recap, many details were truly baffling.

Finally, someone sighed, "Without a doubt, alien forces have arrived, and at this rate, it really isn't sustainable!"

The forces on the Star of Hope were already giving them headaches, and now reinforcements from other planets had arrived; just thinking about it was hopeless.

Someone then suggested, "If necessary, coordinate with the government, using the Hoyel affair as leverage."

An A-level cautiously glanced at their Supreme, "The key issue now is whether we confront or negotiate with our opponents?"

It was well-known that Arindel was usually pro-war; the recent negotiations had been out of necessity.

But wanting to continue fighting now meant needing to leverage government power.

Arindel's skin tone was naturally dark red, and his face looked increasingly unpleasant.

After pondering for a moment, he snorted coldly, "I'm pro-war, and the opponent's attacks were equally brutal this time."

"But plans once set can't be changed on a whim... Damn, it's driving me crazy!"
