The investigators from the Anomaly Affairs Management Division were busy until dark, discovering numerous anomalies.

Even the driver found Qu Jianlei and directly questioned, ”Why have a lot of traces been erased?”

He wasn’t intentionally provoking the other party, but there was clearly an issue here that he couldn’t ignore.

He had already offended them quite a bit before, so now, riding on this high authority, he didn’t mind offending a bit more.

Qu Jianlei just rolled his eyes, ”You say it’s erased, so it’s erased? Too much talking!”

Anyway, he’s advanced to Supreme, and if the other side can distort the truth at will, he can certainly confuse right and wrong.

The people from the Anomalous Management Division wanted to seal off the scene, but Yuanyuan jumped out in opposition.

”Don’t even think about it, this is private land, without the owner’s agreement, and no complainant... I dare you!”

This attitude was quite frustrating, as the anomalies couldn’t really be considered evidence; having a stubborn Supreme made their work difficult.

The investigators sought a compromise by trying to take away a part of the second layer Defense Array for research.

Because they found out, this Array was noticeably different from known Defense Arrays; perhaps it could reveal some clues.

However, this action was brusquely stopped by that Supreme on Half-Star Island.

”This is my research achievement, the patent has not been applied for; I dare you touch it!”

The warning was made clear; if anyone dared to really ignore it, the Supreme could indeed kill.

Seeing the situation, the driver reluctantly put forward a final condition, ”Then at least you should reveal your identity!”

To his request, Qu Jianlei showed no reaction, pretending not to hear.

It was outright contempt, but had to admit, the Supreme has the arrogance—if dissatisfied, one may take action.

However, the driver was indeed a cowardly type; from his nickname, it could be inferred that he was accustomed to accelerate, turn, and brake.

He just sourly left a sentence, ”Wait, next time I’ll come back with a warship!”

This group was busy until late at night before leaving, having gathered quite a number of samples like air and soil from the scene.

Qu Jianlei didn’t stop this action—he delegated these matters to Yuanyuan.

Moreover, the relevant traces were also erased by him; he didn’t believe they could analyze anything useful.

After these people left, eight guards summoned by Yuanyuan also took their leave.

These people weren’t fools, likely guessed some possibilities, and leaving quietly indicated they recognized the issue.

But Qu Jianlei and Yuanyuan were too lazy to consider this point—just a group of people unaware of the actual situation.

Qu Jianlei even went to the kitchen to cook, ”Really spoils the mood, let’s make some good food to relieve stress.”

Yuanyuan watched him cook silently, and after about ten minutes, suddenly questioned, ”So, are we in trouble?”

Nobody is a fool, she had been puzzled by the Tribulation Thunder in recent days, and the Anomalous Management Division’s actions further highlighted something amiss.

Qu Jianlei couldn’t reveal the truth, so he tried to downplay the facts, ”The Qi Gathering Array itself is troublesome...”

”If you feel uneasy, I can leave after we finish this meal.”

He never had the habit of dragging others into trouble, and…I’m really not inviting trouble.

Yuanyuan sighed quietly after a moment of silence, ”You should know, I’m not talking about the Qi Gathering Array.”

Qu Jianlei paused his actions, thoughtfully glanced at her, then spoke solemnly.

”You know, I possess quite a bit of knowledge and heritage; even Qinghu couldn’t coerce me, let alone anyone else?”

Yuanyuan blinked, her eyes lighting up with more spirit, ”I’ll ask my grandmother for her wristwatch number!”

She wasn’t sure how much trouble Ran Bingluan was involved in and didn’t want to pry, but contacting Qinghu seemed necessary.

However, just as she finished speaking, her wristwatch vibrated—it was an unfamiliar number.

The incoming call was surprisingly from Qinghu!

The Supreme Lady stated that someone from the Celestial Hook Star Government had contacted her.

Qinghu didn’t like socializing; she hadn’t even turned on her wristwatch just to keep quiet.

Nevertheless, the government managed to reach her through multiple channels, wanting to know what was happening on Half-Star Island.

Qinghu was clueless, and her temperament wasn’t good; she demanded the other party to explain first what had happened.

So, she already got the point about the afternoon’s situation and sternly informed the government that they should not meddle with her friend’s affairs.

Refusing them to go on the island? That’s perfectly right, and she expressed support.

The Supreme Lady’s wristwatch had high authority, yet she remained cautious and didn’t explain too much on the wristwatch.

But she stated, ”Continue your stay, do whatever needs to be done, we’re not doing anything illegal.”

After ending the communication, Yuanyuan couldn’t help but express, ”No wonder she’s Supreme; truly has the courage to take responsibility.”

Qu Jianlei blinked in confusion, questioning, ”You can’t truly believe what she said, can you?”

He genuinely intended to leave; being targeted by this group made many things inconvenient to do.

Yuanyuan wasn’t really foolish either, and after pondering, she realized, ”So the Qi Gathering Array...is inconvenient to use for now?”

”Certainly,” Qu Jianlei looked at her helplessly, thinking to himself, your nerves aren’t ordinary.

Let alone the Qi Gathering Array needing maintenance to be usable, even if intact, it wouldn’t be usable in the short term.

A little one might not be stupid, just accustomed to being carefree—that’s lacking the experience of precarious living.

Yuanyuan wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at him pitifully, ”So this... is over?”

I don’t want it to be either, Qu Jianlei was at a loss for words. Thinking that it was because his own advancement attracted the Tribulation Thunder, he felt a bit ashamed.

He pondered for a moment before speaking, ”The repair work should also be postponed for the time being. It’s best to keep a low profile recently.”

Yuanyuan blinked her eyes twice, ”Can we purchase components on other planets?”

It was clear that she was still a bit unwilling to accept it.

Qu Jianlei wanted to continue advising her to be cautious, but after thinking about it, he finally expressed.

”I’m not very familiar with the style of the Anomalous Management Division, so you should ask your grandmother about this issue.”

Yuanyuan thought for a moment and then asked, ”Are we going to leave Half-Star Island next?”

”Not leaving for now!” Qu Jianlei had already made up his mind, ”Leaving at this moment would be like admitting there’s a problem ourselves?”

He was truly annoyed by this inexplicable department, ”I just want to cultivate quietly, why is it so difficult?”

Since Qinghu hadn’t betrayed him, he decided to see what other moves the opposite party would make.

Yuanyuan was silent for a moment before speaking unenthusiastically, ”Then that’s the way it has to be.”

However, this guy’s personality is really carefree, after a nice dinner, he woke up the next day feeling energetic again.

”Since we can’t cultivate now, let’s go fishing.”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”The Defense Array can still be repaired, and also, ask your grandmother about the Five Elements Array.”

He was someone who couldn’t stay idle, and indeed, he had tricked a little one in the matter of the Qi Gathering Array.

Since that’s the case, he definitely needed to make up for it, Qu Jian is not someone who dodges responsibility.

”Is that so, alright then,” Yuanyuan nodded, ”I thought you would leave earlier yesterday.”

She had a list of components to repair the Defense Array, and inevitably rearranged it.

The people arranged by her grandmother were indeed efficient, and by the afternoon of that day, most of the components were purchased.

As for the remaining parts, they could be fully procured within two days.

With these, Qu Jianlei could start repairing.

However, just as he began, Qinghu contacted Yuanyuan again.

The supreme lady expressed that she had inquired more regarding the situation of the previous day and planned to return as soon as possible, hoping they wouldn’t leave.

It was actually about wishing Qu Jianlei wouldn’t rush to leave, as for Yuanyuan... her grandmother had arrangements for her.

Qinghu didn’t say congratulations on his advancement, she just casually used the term ”young friend,” clearly knowing about his advancement.

Qu Jianlei felt a bit suspicious if she might have guessed something, and thus coveted his legacy.

However, he’s indifferent, one sheep is driven, ten sheep are also driven, no difference in having one more supreme opponent.

He even slightly anticipated that Qinghu might be targeting him.

In that case, he just needs to leave her alive, which would be a proper explanation to Yuanyuan, and they’d not owe each other anything.

Such thoughts were dark, but since his traverse here, hasn’t he seen few dark things?

Just as he was repairing the outer Defense Array, he sensed some anomalies.

Above Half-Star Island, there were dozens of drones of various sizes, and at least seven or eight satellites monitoring from space.

This is just too much! Qu Jianlei is not someone to be trifled with, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

”Yuanyuan,” he furrowed his brow, ”is it illegal to shoot down drones over the island?”

”They really dare to do this?” Yuanyuan raised her brows, directly releasing her perception, ”Such nerve!”

Her perception in the A-level was considered outstanding, and she instantly captured many drone coordinates.

These drones performing reconnaissance tasks weren’t very large.

The smallest drone was the size of a soybean and flew quietly.

After all, the monitoring subjects included supreme beings; too much commotion would hinder operations.

Yuanyuan was instantly furious, ”I’ll take care of these drones. The sky above Half-Star Island won’t allow others to act recklessly!”

She meant what she said and soared to the rooftop of a building.

The building location was good, situated in the core area of the island, with thermal weapons mounted on the rooftop for retaliation.

In the Prosperous Star Realm, the use of thermal weapons was heavily restricted, unlike the Edge Star Realm.

Publicly mounted ones within one’s yard were rare, allowing public firing due to their open installation.

The weapon’s certification was essentially processed by the military research institute, and the subsequent owner packaged buys them.

After Yuanyuan flew to the rooftop, she operated a heavy machine gun and fired at the sky.

The machine gun was mounted on a stand, but currently had little recoil because it was firing electromagnetic corrosion bullets.

Electromagnetic corrosion isn’t electromagnetic interference, originally traceable to graphite bombs.

Now what the machine gun was firing could be described as ”nano-grade guided electron submunition.”

Not only able to conduct electricity, but since it’s a submunition, it has considerable physical penetration capabilities.

Simply put, it was a machine gun capable of spraying conductive material, the nemesis of small drones.
