Chapter 189: Chapter 131: New Ideas

Chapter 131 New Ideas (Third Update)

Qu Jianlei confirmed that his idea was fine and started writing the article.

However, there were quite a few issues, such as... the format and consistency in writing!

Back on Blue Star, Qu Jianlei really had his work published in top-tier journals. After achieving fame and success, there was a long line of journals requesting his contributions.

At that time, format and writing style were unimportant—as long as it was his article, top-tier journals would clamor for it.

But he hadn’t forgotten how stringent the top journals’ requirements were when he first started submitting.

When he cared about the journals, they were merciless in scrutinizing him.

Once he ceased to care, more people came on their own accord, asking him to write.

Most even came with cash in hand—life is full of ups and downs, truly without exception.

Qu Jianlei had looked through many journals here on the Wasteland and had to admit, they also emphasized format and consistency in writing.

But from his extensive reading experience, he could tell that the format requirements were not particularly strict.

After all, it’s the post-apocalyptic Wasteland with a scarcity of talent, and many journals even published a fair number of popular science articles.

Popular science articles, Qu Jianlei had no interest in writing—for the subsidies, he wouldn’t stoop so low!

But for professional articles, aside from format and consistency in writing, there’s another issue—professional terminology!

The language and script of the Wasteland is quite peculiar, largely phonetic, somewhat akin to an alphabet language.

However, there’s also a sizable portion that’s ideographic, and even some pictographic elements, giving the impression of a hodgepodge.

On the Wasteland, however, these three have been perfectly integrated, making one feel... a bit perplexed.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t troubled by this, considering it normal for the tree of civilization to grow slightly crooked during development.

But professional terminology still gave him a bit of a headache.

Initially, he thought he could finish it in a day and spend another day perfecting the format, but now he had to spend three days.

He roughly estimated that this article would cover about four pages, not quite five, and thought... it’s a bit short.

If published in a journal offering a subsidy of twenty silver coins per page, it wouldn’t even amount to a hundred silver coins.

Working for three days and earning so little, it’s honestly a bit disheartening.

However, Qu Jianlei genuinely enjoyed earning money this way, it was his forte.

So he could only tell himself that once he figured out how to publish regularly and his reputation spread, earning money would become much easier.

Just after he finished the article and before he got Bentley to help deliver it, the old man introduced him to yet another business deal.

Bentley recently got his cultivation on track and was busy massively procuring various resources, particularly mindful about making money.

This deal involved testing a new ventilation system. Previously, Qu Jianlei almost fixed the Mecha for free at the Defense Team, which displeased the old man.

Qu Jianlei had no choice but to go, even though his appearance had already been exposed, he still wore a mask.

Interestingly, at the client’s doorstep, he encountered the maintenance personnel from the system supplier.

Initially, he paid no heed, but that person kept staring at him, harboring overt malice.

This attitude even caught Bentley’s attention.

Turning his head, Bentley recognized the person, after all, he had been frequently involved in repairing the new ventilation system recently.

However, he ignored him—as if someone from Central City would dare challenge an Ultimate Warrior?

Nonetheless, their disregard completely infuriated the person, who stepped forward and coldly declared, ”You stole our job!”

Bentley glanced at him dispassionately, too lazy to argue, ”So what?”

Instantly, the person’s face flushed red, ”Our family has an Ultimate Warrior too!”

As it turned out, he was aware that the other party had killed an Ultimate Warrior but couldn’t swallow the indignation.

Bentley waved his hand dismissively, replying impatiently, ”Then let him come... small fry like you, scram far away!”

Such an expensive system, with profits beyond imagination, surely had strong backing.

But in all of Central City, how many Ultimate Warriors were there? Hence, he completely disregarded him.

To risk losing one’s life for such minor money, coming to the Gathering Area to fight... insane, right?

Bentley’s cocked attitude further infuriated the other party, but at the same time, it completely calmed him down.

Could a small issue like this really draw an Ultimate Warrior? Moreover, one Ultimate Warrior might not even suffice.

This time, Qu Jianlei’s inspection went smoothly, taking about half a day, then he collected payment and left.

The maintenance personnel were still waiting outside, but the two of them just ignored him.

Bentley’s main concern was, ”Look, in half a day we earned a few hundred silver coins... isn’t that sweet?”

Qu Jianlei helplessly glanced at him, ”How many of these systems are there in all of Houjing?”

Bentley snorted, ”Four Capitals and One City... isn’t that enough for you?”

Qu Jianlei, not even looking at him, spoke outright, ”First, I’m too lazy to run around, time shouldn’t be wasted like this...”

”Second, do you really intend to provoke the opponent’s Ultimate Warriors?”

Bentley was taken aback, fell silent, and muttered after a while.

”Back in the day, I truly didn’t take Ultimate Warriors seriously, but now even breathe cautiously.”

”The main thing is that now you can cultivate,” Qu Jianlei said indifferently, ”You were barefoot then, now you’ve got shoes on.”

Bentley was silent for a long time before sighing softly, ”Gains come with losses, indeed.”

Returning to their small courtyard, Qu Jianlei suddenly came up with another idea, ”I can write another article.”
