Chapter 1156: Chapter 1022: Silent Nourishment

Qu Jianlei only hesitated for about two seconds before quietly leaving with the Supreme.

As he sped through the night rain, he gradually straightened out his thoughts: making money by detaining people, he couldn’t do it!

A Nutrient Injection can achieve this because there is a massive force behind it, along with corresponding divisions, manpower, and an industrial chain.

Just arranging treatment and guarding for Julia requires considerable material and human resources.

Qu Jianlei questioned himself, if his team wanted to spare a Supreme to watch over Julia for a long time, manpower would certainly be strained to the limit.

Even after the other party obediently pays up, preventing them from harboring other thoughts would also consume a lot of energy and resources.

Some things really can’t be learned; just because others can make money doesn’t mean you can, just be envious for a moment.

Anyway, this guy deliberately slapped him in the face in public, killing him could also serve as a warning to others.

But in the end, he still didn’t make a move and instead had Little Lake contact the Nutrient Injection.

After he set off, the Nutrient Injection also followed to Red Tower; this was something Little Lake had already noticed.

After about ten minutes, the Nutrient Injection arrived in an off-road vehicle.

Qu Jianlei didn’t deliberately release Inner Breath to avoid the rain, also to control energy fluctuations and not trigger possible alarms.

When the Nutrient Injection saw Qu Jianlei, he found him soaked all over, "Don’t you want to find a place to avoid the rain?"

This could better maintain the tendency of the Water Element! Qu Jianlei casually replied, "You really like getting in on the action."

It had already been twice, he didn’t want the other party at the scene because he might not be able to handle it.

But this person wasn’t afraid of anything, liked watching live, and even wanted to get closer to see.

"It’s convenient for coordination," the Nutrient Injection glanced at the person he was holding, "Did you find the Classics?"

"Found it," Qu Jianlei nodded, handing over the person in his hand, "This person... is yours!"

He had already figured it out, if he couldn’t make the money himself, he might as well let the Nutrient Injection make it.

He’d get blood on his hands without any profit by killing, might as well let others benefit instead.

The Nutrient Injection glanced at that person again, then spoke up, "Get in the car first... does he have companions?"

Qu Jianlei sat down in the car with the person, "There are three people, they weren’t alarmed. They probably haven’t discovered it yet."

The Nutrient Injection raised a thumb, and the off-road vehicle slowly drove away, soon disappearing into the drizzle.

After a while, he spoke again, "I didn’t really help you, and yet you gave me a Supreme?"

Qu Jianlei casually answered, "Just making use of waste; if you find it bothersome, I’ll just kill him."

"Then just leave him to me," the Nutrient Injection casually responded, "The money extracted from him, split it fifty-fifty?"

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but smile helplessly at him, "Oh, quite generous, but do I seem like someone who would care about that bit of money?"

Upon hearing this, the Nutrient Injection couldn’t help but roll his eyes, just during the day you were so angry your face was pale.

Qu Jianlei also knew, this time he was playing it big again, so he cleared his throat.

"I’ve collected the spoils, and I’ll leave you some... any problem with the aftermath?"

Handling aftermath when someone is dead versus when they’re not is, of course, different.

"No problem," the Nutrient Injection answered casually, not seeming to care at all.

After a while, he spoke again, "Sir, how long will it take to decode this Classics?"

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then answered, "One to two years, why, are you interested too?"

The time he promised wasn’t long, compared to his teammates, he preferred to speak frankly with the Nutrient Injection.

Since the other party had shown him their energy, he also had the need to show his abilities.

The two parties were merely in a cooperative relationship, only equal strength could better ensure smooth and pleasant cooperation.

Of course, he couldn’t promise a time shorter than that, otherwise it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

While answering, he took out the Classics and started flipping through it—he still didn’t know the extent of damage to the other pages.

After a quick glance through, he snorted lightly, the further he flipped, the more damaged the pages were, "What a mess!"

The Nutrient Injection had been silent, now he spoke up, "Is it too badly damaged?"

"The problem... isn’t serious," Qu Jianlei pondered and answered.

Some content was indeed missing, but the overall thought process was relatively clear, the difficulty in completing it wasn’t high, wouldn’t consume much computing power.

What he really wanted to complain about, "This Classics, I don’t even know how it was preserved, it’s rotten from the inside out."

"The Classics don’t necessarily need to be kept intact," the Nutrient Injection seemed accustomed to this, "and it’s very likely scattered."

Qu Jianlei tilted his head to look at him, "Have you seen many preserved Classics?"

The Nutrient Injection didn’t answer this question, after a moment of silence, he spoke, "I told you I’d help with the processing costs of this Classics."

Has the main event arrived? Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "It doesn’t matter, having come this far, why say anything about it?"

The Nutrient Injection asked seriously, "If I want your decoded version... is twenty billion enough?"

Yesterday you only dared to offer thirteen billion! Qu Jianlei understood in his heart, this guy must have communicated with the people behind the scenes.

But twenty billion... is a bit of a dilemma, it’s not that they’re offering too little, this price is quite sincere.

However, once he successfully decodes it, it could become a money tree for the team, such a thing could indeed be sold multiple times.

Among the many results calculated by Qu Jianlei, this is the only one that doesn’t really violate any rules and can be traded privately.

In the end, the Imperial isn’t the only force researching this thing; he’s merely announcing the results ahead of time.

A half-step ahead is a genius, a full step ahead... well, prepare to be dissected.

But he ultimately expressed, "Alright then, can it not be leaked?"

What that means is it can be leaked; it’s just that he would feel uncomfortable.

Nutrient Injection pondered for a moment and instead asked, "How long is the confidentiality period?"

They’re both wise men; he knew that Qu Jianlei defined himself as a business partner, so he spoke from a business perspective.

The force he belongs to puts out two billion, such a large sum can’t be given for free.

So setting a confidentiality period is necessary; after all, spending two billion to start researching the cracked version early isn’t a loss.

"Twenty years," Qu Jianlei didn’t report a longer time; results like this can’t be kept confidential indefinitely once they spread.

Upon hearing this, Nutrient Injection turned his head, looked at him with surprise, "You have confidence to surpass the Supreme in such a short time?"

Qu Jianlei didn’t deny it, only replied blandly, "One must always try."

Nutrient Injection fell silent again, and after a while, he sighed lightly, "You’re the most self-confident person I’ve ever met."

Seeing the other party not responding, he asked again, "Some anonymous securities are actually saying something."

"Does this guy have a lot of securities? Do you want me to help you exchange them?"

Qu Jianlei hesitated a moment, then nodded, "Yes, there’s twenty billion more; can’t I exchange them myself?"

Nutrient Injection looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

Qu Jianlei understood immediately, took out the securities and handed them to the other party—turns out anonymous securities aren’t really anonymous.

Nutrient Injection casually accepted them and asked another question, "When daylight breaks... are you still going to Wanbao Square?"

"Why not go?" Qu Jianlei looked at him strangely, "I want to see if there’s anyone reckless enough."

Almost fifty billion was dealt with overnight, although over forty billion hasn’t been settled, but this feeling... really thrilling.

He genuinely dislikes robbery, but there’s always someone dim-witted enough to come delivering money, and he can’t refuse, right?

Qu Jianlei could actually sense that tonight’s haul was stirring certain emotions within him.

Nutrient Injection thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I’ll handle the rest."

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei felt puzzled, could tonight’s opponent have a strong backing?

He coyly stated, "He has Spiritual Armor and Electromagnetic Armor... I also have my temper."

This guy knows what I’m about, yet still seeks trouble; am I truly wrong in doing so?

Upon hearing this, Nutrient Injection paused, he hadn’t expected such a reason.

So he bluntly stated, "I understand, you were merciful not to kill him."

He’s well aware of the Supreme’s origins and the background, needs to carefully weigh them.

But since things have reached this point, nothing more needs to be said.

Difficult... well, let it be difficult, but this generation’s payment isn’t particularly severe; he knows how ruthless Qu Jianlei can be.

He even considerately remarked, "It’s not necessarily bad; spreading the news can intimidate others at the auction later on."

However, very unfortunately, the news didn’t spread.

Near noon, Qu Jianlei and his companion returned to Wanbao Square, and people beheld him oddly from afar.

Though that gaze definitely wasn’t out of fear, instead somewhat contemptuous and mocking, even some pointed fingers.

With Qu Jianlei’s Cultivation Level, he didn’t even need to emit his Spiritual Power to know what they were saying.

——So this is the guy who got his face slapped with cash yesterday, tsk tsk, turns out he’s Supreme too...

This... truly messes with one’s mentality.

Qu Jianlei surely wouldn’t stoop to their level, but no matter what, he couldn’t feel comfortable inside.

Nutrient Injection sensed his lowered spirits and softly said, "It’s the last day."

Tomorrow is the auction; today, even if something can be found, it doesn’t hold much significance.

So hoping to encounter another troublemaker seems unlikely... oddly enough, Qu Jianlei felt a twinge of regret in his heart.

Nutrient Injection added, "The Silver Notes can arrive tonight, still in time... anything caught your eye on the auction list?"

Auctions of this caliber certainly have previews with many good items indeed.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I’m not interested in those popular items... no money!"

Admitting to being poor like that? Nutrient Injection rolled his eyes and quietly asked, "You’re not planning on continuing to snatch, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Qu Jianlei gave him a look.

The prime treasures have been clearly analyzed by others; thinking he could contend with mere billions is laughable.

So his ultimate motive at the auction is still to find undervalued deals!

As the two spoke, violent Energy Fluctuations erupted seven or eight kilometers away.
