Chapter 849: Chapter 719: Supreme Wrath
Qu Jianlei is attributeless. Strictly speaking, he follows the cultivation system, but he can also draw on the techniques of single-attribute Awakened.
With this foundation, he is far ahead of all Awakened in the interchangeability of various attribute techniques.
In the affinity and micro operation of a single attribute, he may not be the strongest, but in interchangeability, he dares to claim to be the first in the Empire.
The techniques possessed by the Gold Attribute, he can easily apply to the Wood Attribute or Water Attribute.
Surely there are people in the Empire conducting similar research, but researching an attribute one is not familiar with is full of challenges.
During the research process, continuous experimentation and gradual improvement are necessary.
Just like when Qu Jianlei experimented on Bentley, initially it was "Human Cannon" firing, and later it was gradually improved.
Lao Ben was able to persist because he dreamed of starting cultivation.
But hiring Awakened for endless experiments, which could lead to major accidents... is it easy to find such people?
Moreover, Qu Jianlei also has Little Lake to help with calculations, so his conditions in the Empire are truly advantageous.
One method connects to all methods, sending out a burst of Iron Split Stone Paste is really not difficult.
He didn’t just send out one, but three in a row, turning an area of several tens of thousands of square meters into a massive crater.
He knew that most of the people inside were local natives, yet his emotions were not affected.
Men die for wealth, birds die for food; everyone should be responsible for their own choices.
The series of explosions scared the neighboring Taikoo residents into fleeing in all directions.
Actually, when these people gathered in the yard, the neighbors were already aware that something might happen.
Many neighbors had left early. After the first wave of attacks, the remaining people also fled.
And 99% of the people on site had already become a mass of flesh and blood.
The large supply of firearms and ammunition was also smashed to pieces, with some small explosions becoming a complete joke.
This is the so-called Supreme Wrath, not just an empty statement.
The site was already turned into a massive crater; with a flicker of a shadow, Qu Jianlei charged in with a knife, finishing off survivors.
The loud commotion could be felt from a hundred or two hundred kilometers away, let alone the locals of Taikoo.
But strangely, no one reacted. Not even the City Guard took any action.
Undoubtedly, the officials of Taikoo are inclined towards the Divine Text Association, having done plenty of coordination, including deploying heavy firepower.
But as the situation evolved to this point, they truly dared not intervene anymore.
Qu Jianlei took about ten minutes to clear the site; apart from one A-level and one B-level, everyone else was slaughtered by him.
In fact, after three rounds of "Iron Split Stone Paste", out of the eight A-level, six were still alive.
The A-level with armor had formidable defense; although the Supreme technique was powerful, its force weakened over a broader range.
Besides, some people realized something was wrong and fled, not just the hired desperados.
But Qu Jianlei didn’t bother with them, which was the advantage of having two reliable comrades. He didn’t have to manage everything alone.
The site was smashed to bits; Qu Jianlei found four Storage Talismans on the six A-level bodies.
Early dead A-levels didn’t have any Storage Talismans on them, possibly picked up by their companions.
Besides Storage Talismans, there wasn’t anything else that caught Qu Jianlei’s eye, so he turned and left.
At the agreed location, he waited for about ten minutes. Flower Scorpion and Xiao Moshan each returned with a captive.
Now there were four living captives.
Xiao Moshan caught a Modified Warrior, claiming to be from Central City, unaware of Bentley and Claire’s whereabouts.
Flower Scorpion caught a C-level Warrior. Her combat power was inferior to Xiao Moshan, yet she captured a C-level alive, showing her dedication.
The C-level Warrior claimed to be from the Gorge, willing to be killed or tortured, without expectation that he would reveal anything.
The arrogance of the Gorge residents was evident in him, even knowing the opposite had a Supreme, he remained stubbornly silent in fear.
Qu Jianlei raised his chin, casually saying, "Since he seeks death, fulfill his wish."
A hint of despair flashed in the C-level Warrior’s eyes, but he kept his lips tightly shut, not uttering a sound.
Flower Scorpion spoke up, "Boss, leave him to me. I might get him to talk."
"Fine," Qu Jianlei nodded indifferently. In his eyes, a C-level was merely an insignificant ant.
Dragging the C-level Warrior aside, the three began interrogating the B-level, who displayed a look of despair, also not uttering a sound.
Qu Jianlei again casually remarked, "This one should be from the Divine Text Association, Xiao Moshan, what do you think?"
The words caused both Xiao Moshan and the B-level Warrior to jump in surprise.
The B-level was shocked purely because of the name "Xiao Moshan".
They had already captured Bentley and Claire, so they certainly knew the names of those still uncaught.
The Divine Text Association speculated on the reasons for the Supreme’s opposition.
Some believed that this person might be allied with Bentley and others, possibly the missing Jian Lei.
But this theory sounded far-fetched, especially the later speculation that a pure native could advance to Supreme in just a decade?
They tend to believe that the Supreme might be a defector from the Gorge or Central City.
Otherwise, why didn’t this person appear when Bentley and the other were captured?
And when Qu Jianlei showed up in Pre-Jing, those two fugitives weren’t with him.
Now the B-level Warriors heard the name, and suddenly realized: these people are indeed together.
But knowing this secret means he can no longer survive.
Xiao Moshan’s surprise was due to hearing a name, "Divine Text Association... It’s them who caught us?"
When he arrived at Garbage Star, he was merely a C-level Warrior, and although his identity was somewhat special, his expertise outside his profession was limited.
He only knew the background of the Divine Text Association and knew it was a massive organization backed by the military.
As a military elite, he rarely interacted with this organization, but that didn’t prevent him from knowing the terror of the Divine Text Association.
The B-level Warrior looked at Qu Jianlei in amazement, "You’re actually... from the Empire?"
Qu Jianlei lifted his leg and kicked him, "How dare you speak to the Supreme like that, should we kill him?"
Xiao Moshan’s eyes gleamed with ruthlessness, "I’ll handle the interrogation, I want to see how tough the Divine Text Association really is!"
Then he was dragged aside, and finally interrogated the A-level Warrior.
Unexpectedly, the A-level expressed candidness: ask whatever you want, I’ll speak freely!
This attitude surprised Qu Jianlei, "Why so cooperative?"
"Because I’m from the Gorge," the A-level replied indifferently, "This world... is too unfair!"
On Garbage Star, being from the Gorge already makes one superior, only those from the base are a notch higher.
However, the closer one is to the top, the more they feel the unfairness because they know enough.
To be honest, it’s a highly ironic situation.
Like this A-level, he knew about the base and had been inside, and knew how the Kushnier family moved to the Gorge.
The appearance of the Supreme in Central City led the family to be uplifted to the Gorge.
He somewhat resented the Supreme’s family enjoying such treatment, but also understood it.
Even Kushnier cannot bring his family into the base! It shows the strict hierarchy.
What made this A-level feel unfair wasn’t this; if he could advance to Supreme, he could bring his family into the base.
What he cared more about was his desire to advance to Supreme, but... the distribution is unfair!
Besides cultivation resources, there is cultivation time, specific responsibilities, and so on, which are unfair in the Gorge.
Take specific responsibilities, for example; if they’ re complicated, you’ll be busy, isn’t that correct?
Then you’ll lack time for cultivation and seeking resources.
Especially what makes him feel unfair is, why do people from the base naturally reside there and even travel to the Empire?
Everyone is human and hopes for an exciting life, why must he be trapped on Garbage Star?
If he were born in the Empire, given his aptitude, he might have been Supreme by now?
At least he wouldn’t worry so much about cultivation resources, as all the crystals produced on Garbage Star are sent to the Empire!
He didn’t explain much more, but his sentiments were clearly expressed.
"Unfair?" Flower Scorpion scoffed disdainfully, the Gorge people are even qualified to talk about unfairness?
Xiao Moshan, on the other hand, had no reaction.
"I know you might not believe," the A-level expressed indifferently, "You two are Bentley’s accomplices, right?"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, "With me here, dare to ask questions?"
"Sorry, Sir," the A-level answered respectfully, "I think I know why you kept me alive."
This Supreme killed other A-levels, he saw it, now that he is alive, there must be a reason.
He’s not stupid, now trying to make a favorable impression.
"Hmph," Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, "You’ve been to our estate, what do you want there?"
The aura collected at the estate included this A-level and another B-level.
Otherwise, he would have killed them outright; live capture wastes too much time.
The A-level hesitated for a moment and replied, "Reporting, Sir, I found some supplies there and wanted to ambush these two."
He replied frankly, "At the time, I didn’t know they knew you."
"Tsk," Xiao Moshan snorted coldly at the words, "He talks about unfairness, but actually wants to use us for merits?"
The A-level moved his lips slightly, seeming to want to say something but glanced at Qu Jianlei and ultimately remained silent.
Qu Jianlei spoke indifferently, "Do you know about Bentley’s situation?"
The A-level nodded, "I know, I can tell you everything, but I have one small request..."
His eyes gleamed with madness, "Can you let me join you?"
