Chapter 1132: Chapter 998: Centering on Fairness

That’s right, the Planet Governor’s death was ultimately pinned on Panda.

There’s no other way; with such a big incident, even though everyone knows it’s a scapegoat, the government has to find one to pin it on.

Any A-level or higher Awakened from the Panda team is worth at least all the resources required to advance to A-level.

It must be clearly pointed out that this kind of bounty specification is absolutely in violation of Imperial laws.

Although everyone knows that it’s easier for families with big fortunes to produce High Tier Awakened, the Imperial propaganda always emphasizes one word—”fairness.”

To be fair, the awakening process is indeed relatively fair, after all, it’s about discovering talent for the Empire.

But still, there are people who undergo the fourth and fifth shots of the Genetic Transformation Potion.

However, as time goes by, many people have found that children who awaken only after more than three potions have very poor potential.

Realizing this, such instances have become less frequent, but haven’t disappeared completely.

After all, as long as you’re Awakened, you can enjoy many conveniences.

As for the cultivation after awakening, the official Awakened Management Division provides the most basic cultivation resources.

But those with connections can acquire more resources.

As long as they awakened honestly with three shots and have enough resources, it’s not a big problem to forcefully produce an A-level.

These things are an open secret, everyone knows but nobody talks about it.

In any case, the government will never openly admit that some people are winning from the starting line!

In civilian bounties, sometimes they appear to offer cultivation resources as rewards, and ordinary people aren’t surprised by this.

But the government never uses this as a bounty reward—right, the emphasis is on fairness.

This is like when the Divine Land issues a wanted notice, they won’t openly offer any positions as rewards.

So this bounty is indeed pioneering.

However, there’s an annotation—the bounty is privately offered, government approved!

Clearly, everyone says Ke Rui’an has great influence in the Divine Text Association, and it’s not just empty words.

Moreover, an A-level cultivation resource is just the lowest level bounty for the Panda team.

Panda’s own bounty starts at the equivalent of three A-level resources.

And the Supreme in the Panda team demands the same price.

In terms of price, they can’t match Feng Tang and the Flame Gun, but the latter only offers cash.

Cultivation resources aren’t something money can buy; even procuring them on the black market is not only costly but also risky.

Moreover, Panda is a team; if all taken down at once, it would mean a huge amount of cultivation resources.

The allure of this bounty is truly indescribable.

Flower Scorpion muttered softly, ”Just to A-level... that’s really stingy.”

Granny Jia laughed as she heard this, ”Child, do you really think every Awakened can cultivate to Supreme?”

Flower Scorpion raised an eyebrow, ”With the boss, isn’t reaching Supreme a piece of cake? This bounty isn’t sincere at all.”

Granny Jia rolled her eyes, ”I’m also on the bounty list and feel quite honored by the price.”

The Blood River Butcher has internally confirmed that the attacker wasn’t Jia Shuqing, but she’s still on the government list.

However, perhaps considering the old lady’s influence, the government didn’t make a definitive statement.

They only suggested—”Highly suspected member of the Panda crime group.”

You must admit, wanting to hunt down a highly respected, nearly spotless Supreme, the officials are under great pressure.

Qu Jianlei sighed with relief, ”It’s a relief that it didn’t affect Zi Jiu Immortal.”

If it were confirmed that the old lady was a team member, Professor Zi’s days would be hard.

However, Bentley suddenly spoke up, ”Did Bai Tian say that Senior Jia’s family was also captured?”

He and Flower Scorpion had never interacted with Zi Jiu Immortal; by the time they left the Garbage Star, the Hope Star Realm was already a restricted area.

But they had heard a bit from Xiang Xue, and knew she was considered one of the boss’ nearly romantic partners.

Flower Scorpion nodded at his words, ”These people talk nonsense, but we can’t ignore it.”

Qinghu nodded at the words, ”Some of the Empire’s officials really have low limits... but what happened today?”

No one could answer her question, not even Little Lake could find any related information.

After waiting a while, Granny Jia sighed faintly, ”We’ll just have to see her luck.”

The old lady truly understood the big picture, not blaming Qu Jianlei at all.

Flower Scorpion suggested, ”How about we gather information for a few more days and find out what really happened?”

In the current situation, everyone knows: the best choice is to immediately run away.

No way around it, the situation has gotten too big, not only with the Governor’s murder but also the mess created by Feng Tang and two Supremes.

But at the same time, everyone is very curious: What was Ke Rui’an originally planning by making such a big move?

Since there’s a backup for near-earth teleportation, it’s not necessary to run immediately, but if they stay a few days... will it be overconfident?

In the end, it was Granny Jia who spoke up, and she looked at Qu Jianlei, ”Has Star No. 2 been locked down?”

”Definitely,” Qu Jianlei nodded, then added, ”but it’s not urgent for now.”

The old lady continued to stare at him with questions, ”They’ve applied for reinforcements, haven’t they?”

That I don’t know! Qu Jianlei pursed his lips... Elder, even the Big Head Butterfly isn’t all-powerful.

However, he still answered, ”If the reinforcements want to arrive, it will take at least seven days, we still have time.”

”We can’t wait that long,” Granny Jia stated decisively, ”At most, three days and we’re out of here!”

Her great-granddaughter, could she not care about her? But she was well aware that seven days was just the time for reinforcements to reach Star No. 2.

If the reinforcements complete their teleportation and instead of rushing to Star No. 2, they directly set up a Celestial Net across the entire Star Realm?

By then, even if they managed to escape the planet, they might encounter the enemy in space.

The old lady was very aware of the gravity of the situation this time, so three days was the absolute maximum.

As for Zi Jiu Immortal’s words... as long as she herself doesn’t get caught, the government can’t confirm her relationship with Panda, most likely it will be without danger.

No matter what, in extraordinary times there is no room for romantic entanglements, it’s not that she’s cold-hearted, the Imperial land has no soil for sentimental survival.

Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but admire the old lady’s decisiveness, hesitated for a moment and then said.

”Then... let’s scatter, I’ll create some distractions, and anyone who’s unsure of their Body Technique can go guard the Teleportation Device.”

He could help the old lady reckless of the consequences, but the other team members... he couldn’t force them.

Thankfully, the team was composed of people who dared to act and take responsibility, and no one backed down.

Even Bentley, who was at the twilight of his years, seemed to forget he still had one last hope of reaching Supreme.

”Boss, Bai Tian’s energy consumption is a bit high... should I distribute some Qi Recovery Pills to everyone?”

”I have... this,” Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then took out twelve capsules.

”Three for each person, these are for replenishing Spiritual Qi, use them when you’re in a hurry!”

The others were fine, but Qinghu’s eyes went wide upon seeing it, ”You... actually have that many?”

Thinking back, she once used half a capsule as a price to meet the Supreme, truly she didn’t expect the boss to have so many private stocks.

Qu Jianlei sighed helplessly, ”Really... not that much, it’s just that this time the danger is too great!”

”I’m not saying to use them sparingly, surviving is more important than anything.”

Flower Scorpion stated straightforwardly, ”Boss, rest assured, I’d rather die than let these fall into outside hands.”

After making the plan, everyone started to act separately.

But after thinking it over, Qu Jianlei decided to call Flower Scorpion back.

”You only have two days to search. The remaining day, guard the Teleportation Device and assist others, got it?”

Flower Scorpion looked puzzled at these words, ”Why me, boss, do you think I’m not as good as the old Bentley?”

She had Perception when needed, Body Technique when needed, except her attack power was a bit lacking, where was she not as good as the old Bentley?

Qu Jianlei rubbed his eyebrows in frustration: Do I have to tell you... not to set a flag casually?

He cleared his throat, ”This situation is very severe, ensuring an escape route is of utmost importance, this task is entrusted to you because I trust you!”

”Then... alright,” Flower Scorpion hesitated but nodded, she truly had unwavering trust in the boss.

In two days, Qu Jianlei indeed caused two incidents, killing three A-level individuals.

Among them, two were from the Divine Text Association, their methods in the search were brutal, injuring many.

The other A-level was from the Government, openly demanding bribes during the search.

Officers on Star No. 2 usually wouldn’t act so absurdly, but the situation this time was too significant, a classic case of rather making a mistake than letting someone go.

Thus, this A-level sought benefits from wealthy people—you dare not give it, and he’ll lock you up for a few days.

Those being extorted understood well, this was a disaster for no reason, but who would want to be detained for investigation?

Involved in such a big issue, easy to get in, but hard to get out!

Qu Jianlei wasn’t moralistically finicky, but these three were purely sent to their deaths by themselves, he killed them righteously.

Before killing, he also attempted to understand what Ke Rui’an was really after.

But unfortunately, no one could clarify, those two from the Divine Text Association only heard that Ke Rui’an had his eyes on some treasure.

Qu Jianlei kidnapped people twice at night, but was still noticed as abnormal by the search party.

Sadly, they eventually mobilized a bit too late and didn’t catch the elusive killer.

However, the effect was clear, his blatant kidnapping drew a lot of attention, improving his companions’ situation somewhat.

On the third day, Qu Jianlei didn’t want to continue like this, deciding to take time to gather information.

In fact, with Little Lake helping, he didn’t need to go personally, but... wasn’t there no news yet?

Just that now, it was really difficult to get information, even most of the bars had temporarily closed down.

Those underground figures had also hidden—there were only a few random minions left among the scavengers.

Qu Jianlei was pondering where to start, when the Big Head Butterfly started to turn, ”Flower Scorpion has made a discovery over there!”
