Chapter 1294: Chapter 1154: Unusual Attire

It was said that Jia Shuqing’s attempt to break through was supported by a quite formidable force of Dharma Protectors.

Apart from Bentley who temporarily went out to survey the space points, Qu Jianlei, Nutrient Injection, Paranoid, Mu Yu, Mu Guang, and Qinghu were all present.

The six Supremes could not only form the Five Elements Battle Array, but also have one Supreme as backup.

This power was truly formidable, not to mention that it was within their fief, equipped with various light and heavy firepower.

Even if the granny stirred up some unusual heavenly phenomenon, such strong power wouldn’t be necessary to fend off external coveting.

But what everyone had in mind wasn’t just to protect; they also wanted to observe Jia Shuqing’s advancement process, which was a rare opportunity.

This included Nutrient Injection, who, even though she was a Fake Nascent Soul, didn’t want to miss such a chance.

Otherwise, she truly wanted to go to Versailles personally to seize that tower when the opportunity presented itself.

About ten days later, Bentley returned, bringing a large amount of data; Little Lake went full throttle on the calculations.

The Big Head Butterfly indeed had a lot to calculate, adding the Nirvana Technique to the existing projects.

Moreover, space fluctuation points, such weather anomalies, consumed the most computational power.

Five days later, another set of calculation units purchased by Nutrient Injection arrived, valued at over twenty billion.

Even as a Supreme, she couldn’t help but lament, "It’s really expensive, the equipment is costly, and the usage is also consuming."

Yet, with the arrival of this unit set, it could be assumed they were treating the Gustine Clan’s fief as a long-term residence.

Qu Jianlei made modifications to the new calculation unit set.

During the process of modifying the Spiritual Qi Extractor, he gained further insight into space-saving methods.

The size of the unit set was significantly reduced, effectively cutting the space required by about half, something he couldn’t achieve before.

However, after the modifications were complete and tested, it was found that the cooling requirements for the unit increased drastically, along with a steep rise in Energy Block consumption.

This was an unavoidable cost, but the consumption was truly excessive, forcing Qu Jianlei to improve the calculation set further.

Miniaturization was a necessity, for even with the fake Nascent Soul Nutrient Injection, he still wanted to be prepared to flee at any time.

His secrets were growing, and even with Jing Yuexin’s status and position, there was no guarantee of absolute safety.

Not to mention, just the Five Elements Battle Array attracted the coveting of a Fake Nascent Soul like Babus.

The previous confrontation’s setup was considered luxurious if we overestimated their combat power, they might truly fail unexpectedly.

However, merely focusing on miniaturization was unsuitable, as everyday consumption was truly high, and the durability of the components was rapidly declining.

In view of this, he also needed to establish a structure conducive to spatial expansion, using the second structure wherever a long stay was planned.

This was not an easy task, especially with the numerous precise components in the calculation unit set.

It took Qu Jianlei a whole half a month to complete the modifications on the new unit set.

It was fortunate that there were robots to assist, along with Nutrient Injection and employees from the Gustine Clan procuring materials.

If this were done on Blue Star, it might not be resolved within half a year.

The new equipment was assembled, and after a ten-day trial run, it was officially put into use.

Next came the replacement of the original large calculation unit set for further modifications.

This modification took ten days, followed by five days of testing before becoming operational.

Which meant from the arrival of the unit set, it took a full month and a half for the two ultra-large calculation unit sets to start running data concurrently.

Once fully engaged in certain tasks, time truly flew by.

Right after Qu Jianlei finished these tasks, Nutrient Injection approached him again—Versailles encountered an assassination eight days ago.

She received the information earlier but knew the leader was occupied, so she waited until he was done to inform him.

Currently, because of this incident, the Good Fortune Star where Yao Yang Academy is located has descended into more chaos.

Qu Jianlei contemplated for a moment before asking, "If we don’t go, is there a possibility the tower’s whereabouts will be lost again?"

"Yes," Nutrient Injection nodded, her face also grave, "It was somewhat lucky that we could learn the tower’s whereabouts this time."

After all, Versailles’ status was too high, acting with relatively little discretion.

After acquiring the Black Horse Tower, he didn’t hide it like others might but placed it among his collection.

He wasn’t arrogant enough to openly display it, but when friends came to visit his collection, they could see the Black Horse Tower.

He had many collections, and the Black Horse Tower was not particularly conspicuous—it was already cracked, rendering it useless as a Dharma Artifact.

In essence, it was the divine script above and the related data that were more useful.

Of course, some, like Qu Jianlei, were very interested in the material of the Black Horse Tower.

However, the difference was that those divine scripts posed little challenge to Qu Jianlei, so understanding the material was more important.

For others, the initial barrier was too high; although understanding the material was necessary, its priority was relatively lower.

In Versailles’ collection, there were many excellent items, and the Black Horse Tower wasn’t the most eye-catching.

His power and influence were enough to protect these collections, even if someone truly had ideas, they would first target other collections.

People from River Technology would keep an eye on Liang Shui Supreme’s research results, but would definitely not consider getting the Black Horse Tower from him.

Now that Versailles is injured, it will definitely cause a certain degree of chaos, and some sinister individuals might take the opportunity to act.

Nutrient Injection might not want to get involved in this mess, but she realized one thing: the Black Horse Tower might disappear again.

If it really goes missing again this time, trying to gather related information—it’s basically impossible.

The person who got it would definitely not expose any hints again, otherwise, not only the Awakened Museum but also people from Yao Yang Academy would not let him go.

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue after hearing this. In this situation, he really can’t continue to sit idly by.

However, he couldn’t help but ask, "Those Supremes under your command... can’t they be deployed?"

Nutrient Injection shook her head upon hearing this, "Now on Good Fortune Star, the Supremes are already clustered together."

"The Supremes under my command are also affected by the deployment, and this is happening across the Empire."

"I could send a few people there, but they wouldn’t be very useful. If something goes wrong... how could I explain it to you?"

Qu Jianlei sighed, "It seems that staying out is not an option... but what if during this period, someone successfully breaks through?"

"I’m also conflicted," Nutrient Injection frowned, "But fortunately, you are helping me deduce the Cultivation Technique."

For her, observing Granny Jia’s breakthrough is very necessary, but affecting the boss’s matters for this is not worth it.

Qu Jianlei pondered for a while, then made a decision, "Then let’s tell them... are we just going to Good Fortune Star by ourselves?"

"Just the two of us is enough," Nutrient Injection answered without hesitation, "Helping Elder Shui Qing as a Guardian is very important."

"Moreover, observing the breakthrough is also a significant opportunity for them."

Qu Jianlei informed everyone that he was leaving, but the Supremes didn’t react much—they had already received the news through Divine Sense.

Guarding Jia Shuiqing really doesn’t require such massive combat power.

However, Flower Scorpion proposed an objection; she also wanted to follow the boss to Good Fortune Star.

In her words, Granny Jia is breaking through into the realm above Supreme, which is the Nascent Soul Realm, and she is just at the A-level Cultivation Level.

She believed that even if she observed, she wouldn’t comprehend much, and there’s a high chance she’d have to stop midway.

This is not a blind guess; when Bentley was breaking through to Supreme, B-level Celestial Sound hardly persisted for long.

Flower Scorpion believed her information skills and Body Technique could help the boss with some tasks.

As for interfacing with employees of the Gustine Clan, Xiang Xue could definitely handle it effortlessly, and Zi Jiu Immortal too would have no problem.

Three days later, the three boarded the Business Starship and then transferred to Starship No. 6503.

As per usual, the starship would undergo a jump after traveling for two days.

Qu Jianlei, having been busy for over a month, finally relaxed, "I need to make some delicious food to indulge myself."

"Make a lot," Flower Scorpion responded with excitement, "I can assist."

Perhaps because she’s also from Garbage Star, she really loves the boss’s greasy and salty dishes.

Nutrient Injection unexpectedly asked, "Boss, you can cook?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment; when Little Jing ran around with him, he indeed hadn’t showcased much culinary skill.

Back then, being able to eat enough was good enough, and finding a sip of clean water was challenging; he had to carry a filter with him.

It was only after meeting Bentley that the dietary conditions began to improve gradually.

He nodded, "My dishes are quite heavy in flavor. If you like eating bland food, you’ll probably be disappointed."

"I love heavy flavors," Nutrient Injection stood up, "I’m going to organize and see what ingredients I brought."

"I have brought some," Qu Jianlei hadn’t even finished his words when the little fellow had already left.

Two hours later, the dishes were ready, but Nutrient Injection still hadn’t appeared.

"I’ll go call her," Flower Scorpion stood up.

Just then, the door on one side of the hall opened, and a beautiful woman in a palace dress walked in, leaving Qu Jianlei dumbfounded.

Beautiful... At this moment, his mind was filled with just this thought, she could be described as a peerless beauty.

Next, countless adjectives flooded into his mind: bright eyes and white teeth, jade face and nose, captivating indeed...

The key is the temperament; there was nothing gaudy about her—instead, lively and vibrant, with a hint of elegance and majesty.

Her figure is also worth mentioning; it perfectly fits his aesthetic.

As mentioned before, Imperial beauties were always seen as more beautiful when sturdier.

In Qu Jianlei’s team, the only one whose figure fits his aesthetic is Zi Jiu Immortal, but others consider her too slim.

In Qu Jianlei’s eyes, Xiang Xue appears slightly plump, but everyone’s perception is: Xiang Xue is still on the lean side.

Yet at this moment, this palace-dressed beauty was about 1.72 meters tall, weighing roughly just around 100 pounds.

What’s rare is that she has both a front and a back, perfectly suited to his tastes.

What surprised him more was that her palace dress was not of the Imperial style, instead, it carried a strong Divine Land Wind.
