Chapter 163: Chapter 117: Fame and Profit – Chapter 118: Furious with Shame (Part 3)

Thomas requested instructions from above and got a reply: Testing is okay, but all costs are on you.

And from start to finish, I’m going to accompany you—this is someone from Jin Ye afraid the other side might play dirty.

The maintenance staff couldn’t even bother talking about costs, spending three days to check everything from start to finish.

He found no new faults; as for hidden dangers? He truly didn’t have the ability to detect them.

When the people from the casino heard this news, they also came over, saying they also needed parts replaced...

Qu Jianlei wasn’t aware of these things, but Shana contacted Bentley again, saying the manufacturer was inquiring about them.

Bentley wasn’t in a good mood either, saying the inspection was recognized by Jin Ye, and they paid for it.

As for the manufacturer... what’s it to us? We’re also not interested in getting involved with them!

Your Gold Industry Center already saved money and got benefits, now you want to pit us against them, what are you thinking?

In the meantime, Qu Jianlei took on another order for mecha inspection.

The effects of both mecha inspections were great, and the news reached the Houjing Defense Team.

The Defense Captain was newly promoted and felt some things should be decided by him.

But he wasn’t reckless in his actions, first having people understand how effective the previous two mecha inspections were.

Then he found Franco, wanting to know how he evaluated that guy named Jian Lei.

Franco’s evaluation was fair: he said that guy must have seen the world, but wasn’t strong in cable inspection.

As for mecha inspection abilities, sorry, that’s beyond my range of expertise.

But I can responsibly say one thing: as long as that guy dares to take on the next task, he shouldn’t do too badly.

So the Defense Captain sent someone to find Bentley to discuss this big business deal.

Bentley also had a fixed contact point in the city, and upon receiving the news, he returned to discuss with Qu Jianlei.

The Defense Team’s mechas were many, with thirty in use and reserves in the warehouse.

If they could take this order, the situation in Houjing would be effectively opened.

But Qu Jianlei felt a bit troubled, ”Old Ben, it’s one thing to go there, but we need to inspect two machines first to show our capability?”

”That’s the rule,” Bentley was also a bit troubled, ”Inspect first, pay later, and someone must observe.”

”Besides, this guy just got confirmed in his position, and it’s normal to be cautious when taking over predecessor’s business.”

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and replied, ”Orders involving the military, I really don’t want to take them... Can we not take it?”

On Blue Star, anyone who does military business is extremely influential.

In the Wasteland, it’s even more excessive; here values military strength more than Blue Star.

Hearing this, Bentley hesitated somewhat; if this order succeeds, the road ahead would truly be smooth.

But in the end, he still nodded, ”Being careful certainly isn’t wrong, but my workload sure has increased.”

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, ”Then take orders as a Modified Warrior, business will definitely be full.”

Bentley rolled his eyes back, ”You go out once and earn big money faster than robbery, why should I take tasks?”

Qu Jianlei smiled, ”You better find out who has accumulated a lot of crystals, we can snatch a batch...”

”That could work,” Flower Scorpion perked up.

”Otherwise, boss not only has to make money but also has to meditate and cultivate, it’s really too hard.”

”Don’t you think I haven’t considered it?” Bentley couldn’t help retorting, ”I’m more concerned than both of you...”

”It’s just that... back in the craziest days, I only did it twice, the second time I got seriously injured.”

After discussing the robbery topic, Bentley declined the offer the next day.

”Jian Lei Master has a prestigious status; taking over difficult tasks comes at a high price, and accepting the work before payment is impossible.”

This was originally an assertion of status, but when the Defense Captain heard it, he was infuriated.

”Prestigious status, my ass! That guy’s charges at the Gold Industry Center... has the nerve to say high rates?”

That night, Bentley was trying a new cultivation method when someone called on his handheld device.

It wasn’t the one for the three-person small team channel, but another one—he had developed informants in the city.

Qu Jianlei and Flower Scorpion heard the call, and Qu Jianlei altered his voice to respond.

”My brother is busy with important work, if it’s not urgent, please contact him later.”

The other side asked when Bentley would be done, finding out the time was uncertain, then straightforwardly stated.

”Starr got angry, said Jian Lei didn’t appreciate the favor, and already arranged for someone to investigate his Maintenance Master credentials.”

Starr was the new Defense Captain, and Qu Jianlei was surprised and asked, ”What does ’didn’t appreciate the favor’ mean?”

”Anyway, trouble is coming,” the other side quickly answered, ”Remember to pay the intelligence fee.”

Qu Jianlei called again, wanting more details, but the call no longer connected.

This wasn’t surprising; the Defense Captain was a real power figure, especially intimidating to underground forces.

The fact that they could get the message out was already quite remarkable.

Bentley finished his cultivation two hours later, looking quite excited.

”Getting more of a feel, the resistance of both hands to electric shocks is increasing, but conduction to the ground is still a bit sluggish.”

”I think the next improvement should be... hey, what are those expressions on your faces?”

”Nothing, go ahead,” Qu Jianlei smiled, nodding, ”Ran into a small problem, but it’s not urgent right now.”
