Qu Jianlei was only taken aback for a moment before he returned to normal, ”Just don’t bring people from Star No. 3 over.”

The people from Star No. 3 who know him should be some, and he doesn’t want to interact with them at all.

”How could that be?” Hals replied casually, ”Your research was discovered on Star No. 4, what does it have to do with Star No. 3?”

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief, ”Alright, stop talking, it’s another military secret... Are you addicted to tricking me?”

”How can this be considered a secret?” Hals said indifferently, ”It’s the routine exchange and communication of each war zone every year.”

”Then don’t tell me about it, I’m not interested at all,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, silently adding two words in his heart — as if!

”There’s nothing that can’t be said,” Hals stated very straightforwardly, ”including mutual inspection of armories... it’s all part of the system!”

Mutual inspection of armories? Qu Jianlei was stunned: for crying out loud, can it be operated like this?

He always thought that Blue Star was relatively perfect in terms of systems, after all, it’s a small place with two hundred independent political entities.

But upon hearing Hals’s words, he was shocked to realize that it could be supervised like this?

He couldn’t think of many drawbacks to such supervision all at once, but the benefits were too obvious.

The military is about prioritizing force, and every army must have a belief of ”I am strong.”

If an army inherently thinks, ”I’m just a wimp,” then it’s better to disband such a team early.

So while checking allied forces, one must ensure not to drop the ball, which is a kind of mutual incentive.

If both sides are playing tacitly, you check loosely, I also check loosely—doesn’t that mean both sides are wimps?

Moreover, these inspections can be rotated, can be unequal, as long as they can be mutual inspections, a lot of tricks can really be played.

Won’t get into the specific details, otherwise it would be at least another chapter, Qu Jianlei thought, why are there so few similar rules on Blue Star?

Hals hadn’t heard a response for a long time, so he turned his head to glance at him, ”What are you thinking?”

Qu Jianlei smiled, ”I’m a bit emotional... maintaining such a vast Star Realm is not easy for the Empire,”

He finally realized why the Empire operated this way—because the territory is too vast, managing it is too strenuous.

A planet as big as Zarif was occupied by Star Thieves for so long, and the Empire didn’t even notice, who can believe that?

So it is indeed necessary to promote mutual inspection and supervision between the war zones of the Edge Star Realm.

As for the drawbacks... they definitely exist, but the benefits are so obvious that the side effects can be ignored.

Unless the entire Star Realm’s military rebels together, otherwise, this method is absolutely effective.

”Just for show,” Hals, however, was quite dismissive of this, ”In the current situation, who would rebel?”

”Playing these superficial tricks is a waste of money... it’s all about doing real things.”

Qu Jianlei was instantly left speechless, surprised to find such ”what you see is what you get” people in the Empire, too.

Their subjective intentions are not wrong, just too idealistic, always thinking that their life experiences are everything.

The experiences of the previous generation, the one before that, or even the history books are not experiences, just bygone years.

Only the things they’ve experienced themselves are experiences that may repeat.

The Empire hasn’t had a rebellion for a long time, does that mean there won’t be any more in the future?

Qu Jianlei waved his hand, smiling nonchalantly.

”No need to say anymore, I don’t want to hear it, do you think the people managing such a large Empire aren’t smarter than you?”

”They’re high above, unwilling to look down,” Hals, although a B-level, still had quite a youthful mindset.

So his enthusiasm could be said to be genuine enthusiasm, ”Worrying about this and that all day... better to do some real work.”

Qu Jianlei chuckled lightly, ”Such as?”

”Such as...” Hals got stuck; he really hadn’t thought about these things and usually just knew how to complain.

To be fair, he’s a guy who knows nothing but cultivation and research.

As for people skills, he’s got six of the seven orifices confused—or knows nothing at all.

It’s just that his personality is usually nice, so he got assigned this task—not that he’s particularly astute.

However, it just happened to work out because Qu Jianlei just went for this kind of thing, so the two of them could get along peacefully.

He doesn’t really understand much about the Empire’s macro policies—nor does he have the leisure to understand.

So Hals couldn’t come up with an answer, he could only change the subject, ”This time, Star No. 3 sent quite a few important figures.”

”Don’t mess around,” Qu Jianlei helplessly glanced at his collar—there was an audio-visual recording device there.

”You dare to say it, I dare not listen... alright?”

”I really dare to say it, but I don’t want to scare you!” Hals pointed at him, ”You’re too dull.”

He didn’t leak any secrets, but for Qu Jianlei, knowing this news was enough.

In the afternoon, he contacted Zi Jiu Immortal, saying there was something to discuss.

It needs to be emphasized that he actually doesn’t think that Zi Jiu Immortal’s information channels are stronger than Xiang Xue’s.

On the contrary, Xiang Xue’s channels are much wilder, and the intelligence capability of this organization of archaeology enthusiasts is definitely far beyond ordinary people.

But Earth Scholar’s channels are too wild, not a proper path, very easy to be noticed by other information brokers.

On the contrary, Zi Jiu Immortal can make contact with official connections, and she herself is a person who follows the rules.

So when it comes to inquiring for information, although it would be done openly, it would be a straightforward strategy.

After hearing this, Zi Jiu Immortal felt a bit strange, ”Why inquire about the military in the Third War Zone?”

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and said, ”I don’t want to lie to you, so please don’t ask.”

”Alright,” Zi Jiu Immortal was truly empathetic, not just amiable, ”What reason should I use to inquire?”

”Wasn’t there an incident with Gavin a couple of days ago?” Qu Jianlei casually replied; the reason was readily available.

”Don’t specifically inquire about the Third War Zone, just get a general understanding of military matters, with a slight emphasis if necessary.”

”Then it’s still better to ask my great-grandmother,” Zi Jiu Immortal thought for a moment and answered, ”She spent a considerable amount of time on Star No. 3.”

Still need to ask her... Qu Jianlei was also a bit speechless, as the old lady had always been pondering his identity.

However, he also felt that Granny Jia was only trying to get something out of him, without any harmful intentions.

After all, she is of a significant age, has no ambitions anymore, and likes to study cultivation techniques, just having some pursuits in her remaining years.

Besides, as someone who once tried to break through the supreme shackles, she has her pride.

So he just nodded and reminded, ”Try to be as natural as possible.”

Granny Jia reacted quickly; after just one day, she sent over the relevant information.

However, her focus was at a high level, mostly sending news about high-tier superpower warriors.

The Third War Zone is led by one Supreme, with four A-level and over thirty B-level.

Among them, the information on the Supreme and A-level is more comprehensive, as for B-level, the information is sometimes more, sometimes less.

She also paid attention to three C-levels, one was an array researcher, another with a spiritual attribute, and one more... light attribute!

The Supreme named Dennis is a water attribute female Awakened, already two hundred years old.

However, the Supreme lives for three hundred years; she is currently considered middle-aged with plenty of years ahead.

What Qu Jianlei was concerned about was that Kushnier indeed had someone here, an A-level fire attribute named Wei Shile.

Wei Shile was selected as an assistant by Kushnier after moving to Star No. 3, having just recently advanced to B-level at that time.

This person is reliably loyal in their work, and Kushnier, coming from Garbage Star, intends to establish a local force on Star No. 3.

After some time of testing, the Supreme vigorously cultivated his assistant, finally achieving A-level.

Wei Shile is now eighty years old; for an A-level, this age isn’t considered old, theoretically still having hope to advance to Supreme.

He has now left Kushnier to operate independently but has never changed his respect for the Supreme.

However, he himself is a native of Star No. 3, and the locals don’t really resist him; in major events, he can still summon Kushnier.

Therefore, taking action against Wei Shile would definitely be a significant blow to Kushnier’s forces.

Qu Jianlei did not wish to harm the innocent, but calculating against this person, he felt no guilt at all.

——You might not be wrong, but if the faction is wrong, then it’s completely wrong.

However, figuring out how to scheme against this person requires careful planning.

If letting Kushnier think that Black Heaven might have come to Star No. 4, that would be absolutely troublesome.

Aside from that, Qu Jianlei was very interested in those two mutated attribute C-levels.

The warrior who awakened a spiritual attribute was the first he had ever seen besides himself.

As for the light attribute... he hadn’t even come across relevant cultivation methods.

It’s said that there is also a B-level with a spiritual attribute in the Third War Zone, and as for a light attribute B-level, even Granny Jia wasn’t sure if there was one.

These two C-levels came to the Fourth War Zone to gain experience, and the surrounding protection must be very strict.

As for other rare attributes like electromagnetic, wind, poison, dark, etc., there are some, but the rarest are still these two.

Qu Jianlei really wanted to get the cultivation method from the light attribute, however... that truly depends on opportunity.

Even concerning handling Wei Shile, he felt a bit at a loss.

Should he create some sort of accident on the starship? Qu Jianlei seriously considered this possibility.

But if so, it might harm too many innocents, and the leader is a Supreme after all.

A Supreme can survive in space for quite a time, unlike an A-level; even if they can survive, they won’t last long.

In fact, a Supreme can even assist or protect some people in space.

So scheming against Wei Shile is simple, but trying to eliminate the person without arousing suspicion is extremely difficult.

However, Qu Jianlei didn’t want to give up; sooner or later, he had to confront Kushnier, and removing his key members was essential.

If only he could divert that guy’s attention from Star No. 2, that would be even better.

Qu Jianlei pondered the related information for half an afternoon without coming up with any decent method.

Until he accidentally saw a name and his eyes suddenly lit up, ”Tesla... Stone Attribute B-level?”
