The difficulty of the attack was significant, but Qu Jianlei did not get discouraged.

At many times, his patience wasn’t great, but once he decided to do something, he could absolutely keep his composure.

He first spent a whole day and night patiently observing the situation of the guards in this area.

The guards were extremely diligent, patrolling every forty minutes during the day and every twenty minutes at night.

These were just the regular patrols; there were also irregular patrols, which were quite spontaneous.

Qu Jianlei himself was stopped and questioned four or five times, but fortunately, the checks here did not strictly require an identity check.

The guards found Qu Jianlei ”somewhat familiar,” and generally let him go.

Other than that, the patrol vehicles used by the guards here were marked clearly, with ”Special City Guard” insignias on them.

Most of the time, these city guards protected upscale residential areas or key departments.

The government of Star One was clearly very focused on this area, hence deploying these city guards for protection.

In such circumstances, the room for maneuver was small, but Qu Jianlei still found some loopholes.

Although the special city guard vehicles here had special markings, they were the same model as those used by regular city guards.

This type of vehicle couldn’t be bought by ordinary people—just one look and people would know it’s a city guard vehicle.

Knowing this made things much easier; Qu Jianlei had Xiao Hu search for city guards who had taken long vacations recently.

The work of a city guard was tough, but with enough accumulated leave, they could apply for long vacations.

Usually, city guards who took long vacations didn’t stay locally—if there’s an urgent issue, the authorities don’t care if you’re on leave.

So at the very least, they’d go to another city for a trip, while the more ambitious ones might go for interstellar travel.

City guards who went for interstellar travel could certainly be tracked from flight records.

Xiao Hu did a quick search and found that over a thousand city guards in Jiuchuan City had taken long vacations, with more than three hundred traveling interstellar.

After all, Jiuchuan City had a population of over fifty million, so this number of city guards on leave wasn’t much.

Among those traveling interstellar, some had left for a while, some were about to finish their leave, and some hadn’t planned to return at all.

These weren’t suitable options, but even so, there were more than eighty suitable candidates.

Among the eighty-plus people, over twenty had the privilege to drive a city guard vehicle home, and six of them lived alone.

Qu Jianlei had six choices, more than enough—he quickly selected one city guard’s vehicle.

This individual took a month-long vacation, had left only five days ago, but was already in the Outer Star Realm.

This person was now applying to extend their leave for another month because they were involved in activities, wanting to attend a program at the Superpower Warrior Academy.

Whether the extension would be approved was uncertain, but there was no doubt that the probability of this person returning within the next twenty days was very low.

Qu Jianlei located their residence, a solo courtyard with a vehicle marked as a city guard’s parked in the garage.

The subsequent steps were simple; Xiao Hu infiltrated the smart home system, and Qu Jianlei entered the garage.

He did not rush to leave but repainted the vehicle with ”Special City Guard” markings.

This wasn’t painted with specialized equipment, but Xiao Hu confidently assured that people couldn’t discern its authenticity at a glance.

The paint used for the markings was quick-drying and waterproof, but Qu Jianlei did not hastily leave and made several sets of license plates.

The license plates didn’t look like something genuine at a glance, but for such a matter... it didn’t need to be perfect.

If Qu Jianlei drove an unmarked city guard car, it would likely draw attention.

But driving a car with plates, who would go up to inspect carefully? That would indeed seem provocative.

Then he switched license plates and released the car five kilometers away.

In the surrounding wilderness, with few cameras, he drove straight out.

In no time, he drove to the ”High-Tech Development Zone” and also changed his appearance.

This look wasn’t virtual but based on a template, precisely that of a Special City Guard.

This person was on duty yesterday, and according to regulations, should be resting today.

Especially since this one was a Modified Warrior, barring surprises, they wouldn’t whimsically work overtime.

Qu Jianlei seized the opportunity to impersonate this person and even tailored the license plates to avoid detection.

To his surprise, he drove around the area without anyone noticing anything unusual.

Colleagues from the Special City Guard, seeing the plate, knew whose car it was and didn’t bother to ask.

Occasionally, someone noticed something off and asked, ”Isn’t it not your shift right now?”

Qu Jianlei didn’t need to explain much, responding sullenly with ”Got called for overtime,” and no one asked further.

A city guard getting overtime was quite normal; upstairs didn’t even need to explain why.

The overtime personnel would naturally be frustrated, so who would provoke them at such a time for nothing?

The people from the Cyan Blade Commerce Association also noticed something seemed off about this vehicle, but upon checking, knew there was such a person in the city guard!

Someone came forward to ask and the reply they got was, ”Random patrol… as if I’d want to.”

The commerce office folks wanted to inquire further, but couldn’t—being overly conspicuous could expose this secret gathering spot.

Over the next couple of days, Qu Jianlei kept changing his appearance and license plates, diligently putting in overtime,

```

No one noticed anything unusual, just a few more irregular patrols.

Through these patrols, Qu Jianlei roughly figured out the details of this gathering point.

There should be four to five A-levels, about eight B-levels, and as for C-levels... around ten.

This configuration is typically top-heavy; normally, four to five A-levels would be supported by seventy to eighty B-levels.

As for the C-levels, the ratio to B-levels should be about ten to one, at least?

However, unfortunately, this doesn’t belong to normal circumstances. This is a high-level power struggle where lesser combatants are unfit to join!

And the battlefield is in the city, not in the wild.

In the wild, sacrificing a hundred C-levels might be enough to take down a few B-levels.

But a city doesn’t have such a large combat space—how many ordinary people would die with a hundred C-levels?

Qu Jianlei has consecutively killed three Supremes, all in busy areas or nearly so.

During the fights, he didn’t intentionally control the radius of destruction—Paraquat even affected some passersby.

Similarly, none of the three opponents controlled their radius of destruction either, but the affected range... wasn’t actually that large!

This wasn’t because the three Supremes were merciful, but because their opponents chose quick, precise kills.

So their retaliations and counterattacks could only target their hunters.

Rashly expanding the attack range would leave opportunities for the opponent. In a duel between experts, precision is the key.

What if hundreds of B-levels besieged a Supreme?

On the battlefield, hundreds of B-levels could potentially take down a Supreme, given that everyone fears no death and cooperates intricately.

But the Supreme’s counterattack before death, how many B-levels could it kill?

Not to mention anything else, just the area of impact could cover dozens of square kilometers with no problem.

It was once calculated that a single Supreme could easily destroy a city with millions of people.

Because of this, the Imperial strictly prohibits Supremes from randomly attacking in cities.

So, why didn’t Steve, Kushnier, and Fahim unleash such destructive power?

The reason is simple—though that power is immense, the destruction per unit area couldn’t breach Qu Jianlei’s defense.

——I wiped out this city, but I can’t hurt the person I want to hurt, does this act make any sense?

It’s not that the three Supremes consciously restrained themselves, but that their goal was solely to eliminate Qu Jianlei.

This is called a high-level power struggle; it’s about the high-level combat power. Fewer B-levels and C-levels are normal.

It’s really not that Supremes stroll everywhere, A-levels are lesser, but... a high-end game is a high-end game, and the unqualified have no entry.

These are side issues; Qu Jianlei understood the enemy’s manpower and strength and made an initial plan.

His choice, like Master Earth, is definitely to prioritize dealing with high combat power.

But how to deal with them, and in what way to attack... requires detailed planning.

However, the difficulty of a frontal assault is quite high, so Qu Jianlei decided to monitor for another two days.

The next morning, he saw a car come out, carrying one B-level, one C-level, and a modified warrior.

Qu Jianlei thought it over and abandoned the idea of dealing with them.

That afternoon, two more groups came out to conduct business, including one A-level, but he still didn’t act.

Until the following afternoon, when another group came out, he followed them from afar.

The reason was simple; it rained that day, which facilitated many actions.

This group consisted of four people—one A-level, one modified warrior, and others.

The four drove over twenty kilometers to a commercial building, where three superpower warriors went in to negotiate business.

The remaining modified warrior sat in the SUV, guarding the vehicle.

The parking lot had surveillance, but during such times, leaving some manpower for guarding wasn’t much trouble.

Qu Jianlei didn’t pay attention to the guard; instead, he silently sensed the three people inside.

The building was only eight stories high but had a large area. Security was tight; without an access card, they needed someone to let them in.

Those three were let in by someone and entered a company on the third floor.

That company wasn’t small, occupying half a floor of the building.

The Cyan Blade’s A-level and B-level entered a room, and the C-level stood at the door as a guard. The company’s staff didn’t seem to mind.

Qu Jianlei didn’t perceive the conversation, as that would be too easily exposed.

But he could vaguely feel that the communication was mainly led by the B-level with Stone Attribute, and the host was likely also a B-level.

The A-level with Water Attribute barely spoke, keeping their presence subdued and very low-key.

Qu Jianlei calculated carefully and didn’t take any action; it was too inconvenient to act here.

After all, he had plenty of time. He’d rather tail them without gain than alert them.

Hard work pays off, and just before closing time, the opportunity finally arose.
