Chapter 220: Chapter 147: Respect for Knowledge

Chapter 147 Respecting Knowledge (Third Update)

In all honesty, Qian Rou has always been providing intermediary services in Central City.

Central City isn’t that big, but it’s not that small either, with more than 30 million people scattered around, so there’s still business for her to do.

This time she had her eyes on Jian Lei, the fat sheep, but without any malice, she just wanted to make some money.

It really was as Qu Jianlei thought, ”point-to-point companionship service.”

Companionship in eating, playing, and... basically anything, so it’s called a personalized service.

Qian Rou accompanied Qu Jianlei for five days and found out that not only is he wealthy, but at least he’s a Modified Warrior.

In Central City, with a population of nearly 40 million, there are only forty to fifty thousand Modified Warriors, which is like one in a thousand.

As long as they don’t self-destruct or pursue something else, Modified Warriors can definitely be considered the elite of humanity.

Qian Rou wanted to develop a deeper relationship with him, which she was supposed to provide anyway.

If lucky, she could marry into his family, which would be perfect, as she is quite confident in her charm.

Unfortunately, he didn’t give her the chance for deeper interaction, and in anger, she left decisively.

Unexpectedly, perhaps due to being absent-minded, she ended up in a car accident.

The car that was rear-ended stopped, and two burly men got out, walking over aggressively.

One of the men knocked on her car window, ”Do you even know how to drive? Get out!”

”Talk properly, don’t swear,” Qian Rou felt a deep sense of panic but tried to stay calm, ”It was you guys who braked suddenly!”

”Cut the crap,” the man raised his voice, ”You rear-ended... don’t you know what maintaining a safe distance means?”

”Let’s wait for the traffic police,” Qian Rou didn’t get out of the car and just sat inside.

”Security officer?” the man sneered, ”Are you sure? It’s not just about paying money then.”

”Then what do you want to do?” Qian Rou coldly stared at him, ”Central City is a place of rules.”

”We brothers are the rules,” the man looked at her impassively, ”I’ll give you time, call someone.”

”Do you believe I can call someone from the Inspection Bureau?” Qian Rou decided to take a gamble.

In the past two days, she drove Jian Lei to the Inspection Bureau twice, and felt she could build some connections.

The man looked hesitant, glancing at his own car.

Then, a woman got out of the car, ”What’s going on... can’t we talk this out?”

With a woman intervening, the atmosphere was less tense, and after some negotiation, both parties decided to repair their own vehicles.

Qian Rou was actually quite cautious when driving, and the collision wasn’t severe, but seeing her beloved car in such a state, she felt a pang of heartache.

Her family had some assets, but her parents were nagging types, and she didn’t want to ask them for help over this small matter.

After working hard for five days, she managed to save some money, planning to buy a couple of seasonal clothes.

Now she had to spend some of it on car repairs, which made her very distressed.

The woman on the other side noticed her struggle and offered, ”Want me to recommend a place for car repairs? At cost price.”

Though young, Qian Rou was very vigilant and good at gathering information.

She asked calmly, ”Which place can you recommend...”

After moving into the house, Qu Jianlei found the place tossed and turned inside.

Luckily, the basic living facilities were there, so a bit of tidying up made it livable.

What relieved him the most was that the room had a flushing toilet, not as backward as he imagined.

There was running water, but it had a peculiar smell, so he made a filter and installed a water tank.

He tidied up the yard, repaired and added some equipment, painted the walls, and leveled the ground...

Before he knew it, ten days had passed, and he should report to the Inspection Bureau — after all, he was a consultant in name.

The office of the Inspection Bureau was a nondescript four-story building, housing about a hundred people, with more than forty Ultimate Warriors.

Upon hearing that Qu Jianlei had arrived, Jamaari came to see him personally, ”You finally know to come over?”

”Settling down takes time,” Qu Jianlei was a bit confused, ”So I’m a consultant for the Earth Room?”

He originally thought he was a mechanical maintenance consultant for the Inspection Bureau, but upon inquiry, he found he was just in name for Earth Room.

The Inspection Bureau has four task groups, named after Celestial Profound and Earthly Yellow.

The Earth Room ranks third, with Jamaari as the inspector, and includes seven Ultimate Warriors, including Xiao Qin.

Plus a dozen or so Modified Warriors, making up the full force of the Earth Room.

Jamaari nodded at this, ”Your salary comes from the Earth Room, the bureau only recognizes your position in name.”

”Then the workload shouldn’t be much,” Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief, not intending to take a salary for nothing.

”Anyone who needs equipment maintenance can come to me... there will definitely be discounts.”

A burly man named Ma Long asked bluntly, ”What level Maintenance Master are you?”

Qu Jianlei sensed a strong Earth Element from him, thoughtfully answering, ”I come from the Celestial District and haven’t been assessed.”

Unrelenting, Ma Long asked again, ”Even assessments in the Celestial District count.”

Qu Jianlei shrugged, ”Didn’t take any there either.”

Ma Long was not satisfied and turned to Jamaari, ”Boss... our Earth Room doesn’t have a lot of funding either.”

Though Ma Long openly questioned him, Qu Jianlei didn’t feel uncomfortable; he liked straightforward people, and after all, he wasn’t being insulted.
