Chapter 1233: Chapter 1095: Lucky Find?

Watching Bentley safely pass the thunder tribulation, everyone began to analyze the mysteries of the feedback from the heavens and earth.

However, unfortunately, even with other high-tech devices on the starship, no detailed answers were found.

What everyone could roughly determine was that there were indeed slight space fluctuations around.

But these fluctuations were so slight that even with the instruments at their highest settings, they couldn’t be fully confirmed.

Thankfully, there were many capable individuals present, each with their own detection methods.

If everyone didn’t know there were space fluctuations here, it would be hard to passively sense them, but actively probing wasn’t too difficult.

Like Granny Jia, by directly driving the micro-operation of the water element on the mountainside, she immediately stated her opinion.

"It doesn’t affect the micro-operation, but... there’s always a sense of sluggishness, definitely some unknown slight interference."

If someone else had said this, it might have been okay, but Granny’s micro-operation ability is something even the paranoid greatly admires.

Right after, the Nutrient Injection also stated, "Space fluctuations do exist."

He didn’t say how he came to this conclusion, but just by listening to his tone, it was certain he was confident in his judgment.

Thus, everyone concluded that the feedback from heavens and earth acted on Bentley through a currently incomprehensible spatial channel.

Subsequently, the group discussed what the principle behind this transmission method could be.

The Imperial’s inheritance in cultivation isn’t much, but the awakened’s spirit of research is ample, especially among the top talents.

They don’t consider the difficulty of research and are brave enough to conduct various experiments, which is truly commendable.

Qu Jianlei felt that if this research enthusiasm could be maintained, the improvement of the Awakened System was just a matter of time.

The discussion went on for three days and three nights until the fluctuations on Bentley stopped.

Two days later, Bentley finally emerged, his aura very unstable, yet with a face full of joy.

When Flower Scorpion saw him, she first exclaimed, "Old Ben, are you... rejuvenated?"

"No way," Bentley touched his face with a joyful smile, "I’ve adjusted to a middle-aged appearance!"

He had long planned that when advancing to the supreme, he would adjust his appearance to middle-aged—too youthful would stand out.

However, now his skin was rosy and tender, like a baby’s.

This skin matched with a thirty-something appearance gave a really odd feeling.

Flower Scorpion voiced her perception, and Bentley felt a bit helpless; how did he suddenly become a ’pretty boy’ at over a hundred years old?

"Forget it, after a while, everyone will get used to it, just meet fewer people," he said.

Claire didn’t seem to care at all, "You’re already supreme, who’s going to mind your peculiar preferences?"

Hearing this, Bentley gave her a fierce look, "You rascal, with no sense of respect, I’m already the supreme!"

Claire wouldn’t be afraid of him, grinning and asking, "Old Ben, old Ben, what did getting struck by lightning feel like?"

She had missed the final observation, but since she’s on good terms with Old Ben, directly asking was better than nothing.

"Wait before you say it!" The Paranoid suddenly appeared, "Everyone gather to listen, information needs to be shared..."

After Bentley crossed the tribulation, apart from communicating with everyone, he also diligently worked to stabilize his realm.

A month passed quickly, and the fluctuations in his aura were already not very noticeable.

However, those with some experience could still tell that he hadn’t been in the supreme realm for long.

Nevertheless, to let his aura completely settle down would take at least a year or two.

After some discussion, everyone felt there was no need to wait any longer, after all, they had been out for more than half a year this time.

On this day, Qu Jianlei piloted the 3344 ship, taking the Nutrient Injection and Granny Jia to the survivors’ camp.

The other side had already been notified, with people already waiting outside to collect the payment.

The 3344 ship landed, and the three of them stepped out.

When Granny Jia saw the imposing supreme opposite, her brow slightly furrowed, "Kempas?"

The imposing supreme was astonished upon hearing this, wondering why he couldn’t sense the aura of these three across from him.

Hearing the other party call out his name directly, he asked in surprise, "So you know me... May I ask who you are, friend?"

"You want to be my friend?" Granny Jia snorted lightly, turning her head to look at Qu Jianlei.

"Boss, this person looks crude, but he’s quite shrewd, don’t be fooled by his appearance."

Kempas could only smile wryly at this, clearly not being taken seriously by the other party, and he didn’t dare try to get too close.

"Ma’am, I’ve always been fair to my friends, is there perhaps some misunderstanding?"

Granny Jia was too lazy to explain further, "Show your sincerity, this is my boss!"

I already heard it! Kempas nodded, secretly surprised in his heart.

To be this lady’s boss... that must not be an ordinary supreme!

Then, the other small guy must also be a supreme, right?

To have three supremes at once, no wonder they don’t consider supremes much.

Kempas had originally been thinking about hiding some valuable items—after all, the lost expedition ship had already set him back quite a bit.

But at this moment, he no longer dared to be complacent and took out four Storage Talismans.

"Four..." Granny Jia snorted lightly, "Your supplies shouldn’t be scarce."

Having one or two Storage Talismans is normal for a Supreme, but four is slightly excessive.

The key is that these people are acting as if they are in a rush, making everyone think the other side really can’t hold on anymore.

"Big Sis," Kempas could only continue to chuckle bitterly, "We encountered a disaster in space, no amount of supplies can bring peace."

"Humph," Jia Shuqing snorted lightly, "As if no one else has ever been in a space accident."

"Alright," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on these, "Take out the things in the Storage Talismans yourself!"

Retrieving supplies from Storage Talismans decreases their durability, but his attitude actually gives the other party some dignity.

Although the durability decreases, not actively touching the other party’s supplies is a basic form of respect.

Upon hearing this, Kempas silently took out everything from the four Storage Talismans.

Weapons, ammunition, food, water, Energy Blocks, etc. were not lacking, there was even a small all-terrain vehicle, along with some high-tech equipment.

Nutrient Injection couldn’t help but mumble, "Bringing equipment during escape?"

"Poor!" Kempas answered very straightforwardly, would I venture into space if I were wealthy?

"Some equipment is specially customized and worth a lot... I couldn’t bear to leave it."

Nutrient Injection shrugged indifferently, saying no more, but the meaning was obvious.

——During escape, shouldn’t one try to bring living supplies? Saying resources are scarce, you brought this on yourselves!

Kempas also understood their thoughts, but such matters really can’t be explained... Have you ever been poor?

Besides, at the time, they thought if they escaped to this planet, even if they didn’t encounter a battleship, they might find a settlement after landing.

This possibility was really not small, which is why they selectively allocated the supplies.

But this little thought can’t be expressed now.

Just then, Qu Jianlei exclaimed lightly, pointing to a transparent box, "What’s inside?"

Inside, stacked like building blocks were many square parts, along with other irregular pieces of varying sizes.

"It’s a robot," Kempas responded hesitantly, "with some intelligence."

Granny Jia and Nutrient Injection exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat amused.

Taking some advanced equipment during a space escape can be considered unwillingness to part, but what’s the deal with taking a robot?

Since it was the boss asking the question, there was likely a reason, so they decided to quietly observe.

Qu Jianlei’s expression was unchanged, "Can it be taken out and looked at?"

Kempas hesitated but still opened the box, a C-level Warrior stepped forward and efficiently assembled it.

Awakened skilled in mechanical repair are few, but among those who can survive space exploration, none are simple.

In just about five or six minutes, a robot was assembled, standing two meters tall with similar width.

Judging by its appearance, the robot’s mimicry degree was quite poor, although its lower body seemed quite stable.

In the Imperial realm, this kind of robot model is rarely seen; they are occasionally visible on industrial assembly lines.

The abdomen and limbs of the robot can hold a small number of Energy Blocks; powering devices is still no problem.

The C-level Warrior also demonstrated, executing a few simple voice-controlled motions.

Nutrient Injection and Granny Jia watched more perplexedly: Is this thing worth specifically loading into a Storage Talisman and bringing along?

However, they remained silent, choosing to see how the boss would handle it.

Qu Jianlei raised his hand, pointing to a prominent connector on the back of the robot, "Is this for external energy?"

The C-level Warrior didn’t dare respond, but Kempas nodded, "Yes, the external energy is the main power source..."

This robot can perform far more than these simple actions; with enough energy supply, it can even fly at high speeds.

However, that would require too much energy, and the external energy converter or Energy Box takes up too much space, so Kempas directly abandoned them.

Since those components are very common, he just needed to preserve the robot.

Qu Jianlei nodded indifferently, "Then what about the intelligence you mentioned?"

"It has an intelligent core," Kempas gestured toward the robot’s torso.

"It’s encapsulated inside, but it’s not advisable to open it... After all, the danger of artificial intelligence isn’t something I need to elaborate on."

For those forces brave enough to research artificial intelligence, preventing its spread is a top priority, which requires no explanation.

Yet, Big Head Butterfly spun in Qu Jianlei’s mind.

"It’s not considered artificial intelligence; it feels more like a super-compact supercomputing unit!"

Qu Jianlei questioned about this robot because of its instigation.

However, Qu Jianlei also used his Spiritual Power to perceive it, discovering the core was indeed a bit peculiar.

He furrowed his brow and asked deeply, "How do you value this robot?"
