Chapter 854: Chapter 724: Rebirth

The Gao Fang warship 3344 silently lifted into the sky, while Bentley and the others curiously inspected the cabin.

Except for Xiao Moshan, none of them had ever been aboard such a high-end starship; it was truly an eye-opening experience.

Even Xiao Qin shook off her dejected demeanor and moved about to take in the surroundings.

After some time, Flower Scorpion furrowed her brow, ”Boss, we can’t operate this thing.”

”Learn,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”Isn’t everyone learning step by step?”

As he spoke, he walked over to the medical room, set up a healing pod and had Claire soak inside.

Then he turned around and spoke, ”Everyone knows their cabin, right? Go take a shower and change clothes, what’s with the smell?”

They finished bathing and changing outfits, which took about three hours.

Especially Flower Scorpion and Xiao Qin, who washed meticulously, women after all.

The 3344 starship had already moved away from the Garbage Star, not far from the Customs Enforcement Warship.

Seeing them approach, Qu Jianlei indicated for everyone to sit down, gesturing to the small table in front, ”Some snacks, help yourselves.”

Flower Scorpion and Bentley sat down without reservation, while Xiao Qin hesitated a bit but eventually followed suit.

Bentley picked up a bottle of fruit wine, opened the cap, took a sip, and closed his eyes contentedly.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, ”This is life, before I was just surviving...”

Flower Scorpion picked up a bottle of drink and opened it, then glanced at the monitor, hesitantly speaking, ”Old Xiao... is he alright?”

Xiao Moshan wasn’t with them; when boarding the attack ship, he was injected with a sedative.

Now he was in the cargo hold, inside a life support pod.

Flower Scorpion truly loved and hated distinctly, putting aside her displeasure, she began to worry about Xiao Moshan’s condition.

”Sleeping for three months is no problem,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”Just need timely injections.”

Flower Scorpion nodded at his words, ”That’s good.”

Then she turned to Xiao Qin, ”See, this is the boss worth following, you don’t fail him, he won’t fail you.”

Xiao Qin silently nodded; she was just disheartened, not blind.

”Alright, enough of that,” Qu Jianlei took out a storage talisman and gave it to Bentley.

”You too, but Xiao Qin, you need to observe for a period, is that okay?”

Bentley unceremoniously put away the storage talisman, Xiao Qin saw this and nodded, ”Of course, I’m not qualified yet.”

Central City, although located on Garbage Star, was extremely close to the empire’s normal society.

Xiao Qin worked at the government office, clearly aware she wasn’t up to standard.

Then Qu Jianlei inquired about something else, ”You said Claire awakened, what’s going on?”

Xiao Qin was stunned hearing this, her eyes widening in disbelief, ”She awakened? The Divine Text Association didn’t find out!”

Bentley snorted coldly, ”It’d be a miracle if they did, back then... humph.”

He was the delayed talent and had much to say about it.

Flower Scorpion began explaining. Turns out, she had suggested injecting Claire with a Genetic Transformation Potion.

The method used wasn’t the traditional one from Central City, but the one designed by Qu Jianlei for Flower Scorpion.

Flower Scorpion genuinely wanted to cultivate talent for the team, and she found the boss’s method more reliable.

Luckily, knowing the matter was quite confidential, only she and Bentley understood the detailed process.

Even Xiao Moshan was unaware, indicating a distance even among comrades.

After Claire awakened, they tested extensively but couldn’t determine the girl’s awakened attribute.

Later, Xiao Moshan also found out, but he didn’t ask for detailed information—similar incidents happened in the empire.

He simply sighed, ”Ah, if Jian Lei were here, designing a cultivation plan for her wouldn’t be a problem.”

Later, the Divine Text Association caught Claire and Bentley; Bentley had research value, so he didn’t suffer too much torture.

But Claire endured great hardship, nonetheless, the young girl was tough, insisting she hadn’t already awakened.

Because of this, even Xiao Qin, confined with her, didn’t know Claire had already awakened.

With Xiao Qin, who wasn’t very familiar, there, Flower Scorpion was vague in her statements.

But Qu Jianlei, her long-time companion, understood easily, thinking she’s really self-sacrificing.

Now that Claire was part of the team, it ultimately benefited his own people, so it was no issue.

Then he asked Bentley, ”Old Ben, you’re almost one hundred and one, yet... B-level peak?”

Bentley pursed his lips, ”I said I’m a once-in-a-century genius, those Divine Text Association folks insisted it’s a cultivation method issue.”

As a result, he underwent the most frequent and severe torture but also enjoyed ”instant damage, instant treatment” privileges.

Qu Jianlei nodded upon hearing, while it sounded good, in fact, Old Ben suffered the most brutal torture.

But the old man really lived with clarity; still harbored resentment, hence stood firm—knowing they wouldn’t dare kill him.

Qu Jianlei’s last question was to Xiao Qin, ”Was there anything suspicious about Jamaari’s death?”

Xiao Qin slowly shook his head, ”Hard to say, but after Wei Wushuang died, he did face a lot of targeting...”

Three days later, Claire came out of the healing pod. Her injuries were mainly superficial, looking frightening but not serious.

Soon after, a rather bloody scene occurred. Qu Jianlei cut open Bentley’s spine and removed three vertebrae.

Then he placed the old man into the healing pod. These three vertebrae were enough for Bentley to grow for over a month!

Flower Scorpion couldn’t help but ask, ”When are we sending Old Xiao to Hope No. 2 Star?”

”Once the old man has recovered,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”Getting to Star No. 2 too quickly will expose our movement capabilities.”

”You’re really thoughtful, boss,” Flower Scorpion gave a thumbs-up.

Actually, with her extensive experience in fleeing, this point hadn’t even crossed her mind; it’s just that... this was her first space voyage after all.

But during this month or so, Qu Jianlei wouldn’t just wait idly, ”Claire, let me check your attribute.”

It took him two days to figure out Claire’s attribute, ”Are you kidding me, it’s actually the Dark Attribute?”

The Dark Attribute is indeed rare, even rarer than it are only the Light Attribute and the Spiritual Attribute.

And in Qu Jianlei’s possession, besides not having the cultivation method for the Light Attribute, his grasp on the Dark Attribute was minimal.

Up to now, he only had a C-level cultivation method for the Dark Attribute, with neither B-level nor A-level ones.

Of course, he could deduce an advanced cultivation method, but having a successful existing cultivation technique for reference would be even better, wouldn’t it?

But there’s no rush, as long as he can deduce the C-level cultivation method for now, it’s enough for the little girl to use.

He spent three days deducing a new cultivation method and another two days perfecting it.

This efficiency was much higher than before, but understanding one technique leads to understanding many others; after all, he’s no longer a novice.

Moreover, Little Lake’s computation speed had greatly improved, resulting in quicker outcomes, which was completely normal, wasn’t it?

Next, the 3344 ship floated in space for more than a month.

This day, Bentley finally emerged from the healing pod, took a shower first, and then indulged in a feast.

Though the nutrients in the healing pod were sufficient, not eating for over a month... really made him crave some enjoyment.

The old man ate for quite a while before he was surprised to discover, ”Claire, you... you’re already C-level?”

Claire, although a girl, was at an age of rapid metabolism, out-eating even Bentley.

She answered vaguely while eating heartily, ”Boss gave me a cultivation technique... but his culinary skills are even more amazing!”

Bentley looked at her again in uncertainty, ”The Dark Attribute... the boss even managed to deduce this cultivation technique?”

He didn’t doubt Jian Lei’s ability to deduce cultivation techniques, given that his Electromagnetic Attribute cultivation technique was deduced from nothing.

But the speed was astonishing, not only was the technique deduced, but the little girl had even advanced!

Back in the day, Jian Lei tortured him for well over three months and still didn’t achieve this!

Claire continued munching away, ”The boss can truly do everything... it’s really delicious!”

”Watching you eat makes it seem really tasty,” Bentley also wolfed down some food before heaving a long sigh of satisfaction and patting his belly.

Then he downed a cup of alcohol, ”After a satisfying meal... is it time to send that guy off as well?”

”I’ll go,” Qu Jianlei stood up, heading towards the cargo hold door, ”You guys stay here.”

”I’ll go with you,” Bentley stood up, ”Though I’m a bit unsatisfied, he’s still an old comrade.”

”I’ll go too,” Flower Scorpion stood up as well.

Seeing this, Claire swallowed a mouthful of heavy food, ”I’ll go too!”

”You can’t go!” Bentley’s face hardened, ”You’ve already awakened, and it’s the Dark Attribute... this needs to be kept secret!”

The three walked into the cargo hold, moved the life support pod into the attack ship, and left the 3344 aboard the ship.

After covering over ten million kilometers, they opened the life support pod.

Three hours later, Xiao Moshan woke up, looked around, then asked, ”How do you plan to land?”

The difficulty of landing an attack ship on Star No. 2 was not ordinary, requiring multiple checks.

Qu Jianlei pointed backward with a raised hand, ”Prepared a lifeboat, you can drift in space for a while first.”

”Drift for a while...” Xiao Moshan smiled wryly at this, ”You really have faith in my luck.”

Qu Jianlei knew the risk factor was quite high, but he didn’t have other options—actually landing was out of the question.

”Should we speed up and fling you towards Star No. 2?”

”No!” Xiao Moshan was startled at those words, there were still over thirty million kilometers to Star No. 2.

If the lifeboat traveled at a constant speed, it could eventually return after some time, but at high speed, crashing into something could be disastrous.

After a moment of hesitance, he spoke up, ”Could you leave a way to find you?”

”Take care,” Flower Scorpion replied curtly, having never left the Garbage Star, what position could she mention?

Bentley, however, responded smoothly, ”If we stabilize, we’ll inform Cheng Qingshan.”
