Chapter 969: Chapter 834: Cultivation Level Too Low – Chapter 835: Loyalty and Devotion (Double Chapter)
After dinner, the Fourth Master found Qu Jianlei, "Boss, I need to discuss something with you."
Qu Jianlei thought this person was at odds with Flower Scorpion, and just held back until now to ask him to mediate.
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Master solemnly stated that he had encountered former subordinates in the Underground City.
"Although it was the military’s fault, they were implicated by me and are living miserably now..."
He came across a team of seven, most of whom were disabled.
Among the seven, there was one B-level, one C-level, three Modified Warriors, and the remaining two were ordinary people.
In theory, this team’s strength wouldn’t have any trouble making a living on Celestial Blade, but the most powerful B-level had lost both legs.
In life-and-death situations, the B-level could go all out, but ordinarily, they were just a disabled person.
Remarkably, these seven people stuck together and supported each other, struggling to live on Celestial Blade Star.
While shopping, the Fourth Master recognized the B-level and quietly investigated.
Until now, he hadn’t contacted them, only silently paid attention.
"I also didn’t find it appropriate to discuss this with Flower Scorpion, so I waited for you to return."
Qu Jianlei nodded at these words, "True, she’s not very secure... So what do you mean?"
The Fourth Master hesitated briefly and responded awkwardly, "I want to give them some money."
"Money?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback, "I thought you wanted to recruit them into the team."
If he meant to recruit them, Flower Scorpion would most likely oppose... even for him, it would require some consideration.
"That’s not it," the Fourth Master shook his head firmly. "Bringing them in... that would be a one-way street!"
Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, thinking, hey, talking like that, you’re likely to get punched, you know?
The Fourth Master realized and hurriedly added, "Our team is all elite, yes, elite!"
Too late for that comment! Qu Jianlei already knew the true intention behind it.
However... the word "elite" isn’t incorrect, "I think our team isn’t short on money, right?"
The Fourth Master responded sheepishly, "We need at least ten or twenty thousand... but my money is all managed by Youyou."
Qu Jianlei stroked his chin, thinking that you’re here to flaunt your relationship?
But in the next moment, the Fourth Master revealed his real intention, "If we can find them some work, that would be best."
He was quite confident in Qu Jianlei’s abilities: even without discussing combat power, he could make a decent living as a Maintenance Master.
Qu Jianlei nodded, "Alright, I’ll think it over... Is there anyone good at repairs?"
He thought so too, starting a repair factory would be relatively easy, and he could teach much of what he’d developed.
"There are a few with good hands-on skills," the Fourth Master nodded, "Warriors tend to be proficient."
After a pause, he added, "I figured a repair factory would be good for gathering intelligence."
Building an intelligence network? Qu Jianlei blinked, realizing this was indeed feasible.
He had Little Lake’s help for collecting information, but not all information could be found online.
In any case, it’s worth the shot with old ties being a good virtue, and he’s willing to support it.
"Then this matter is up to you... I’ll later pick some projects that are impressive yet won’t attract attention."
The Fourth Master thanked him for even considering "not attracting attention" before leaving.
Qu Jianlei had just said he could relax for a moment when Little Lake reported another piece of news.
"Boss, there’s some fighting going on in the Asteroid Belt... we have some cards that need to be cashed in."
