Chapter 1140: Chapter 1006: So That’s How It Is

Qinghu’s answer well explained Bentley’s doubts.

The presence behind Rhine withstands the pressure of the Imperial force, she doesn’t need to actively cater to the government!

Qu Jianlei silently released his Divine Sense, witnessing the entire dialogue between the two and nodded decisively, ”I also believe in Rhine.”

To be fair, although the Haiyin Clan only lives in the outer circle, their influence on Celestial Handle Star is quite astonishing.

Moreover, the infrastructure on that wasteland is quite good, with even a team of thirty stationed there.

This is because there are some minerals beneath the wasteland, but they are under government control, and the tax rate is currently high, so the Haiyin Family has temporarily stopped extraction.

In short, it’s a place ready for occupancy, and the harsh weather makes satellite monitoring very difficult.

It only took two days for Qu Jianlei and others to settle in, and another three days to set up the Array.

Two days later, Qu Jianlei even set up the computer group and went to Rhine for various materials.

After a plain half month, the Nutrient Injection output a line on the Pioneer Terminal.

”Avengers Alliance is offering a bounty for Ke Rui’an’s associates, detailed information available... interested?”

Unfortunately, while typing, Qu Jianlei was engrossed in Alchemy.

Three hours later, he discovered the message and replied, ”Are you wanting to use up favors?”

”Not at all, it’s just a commission task, seeing if you’re interested... at least you get some free information.”

”I’m up for this,” Qu Jianlei hesitated slightly before deciding.

”If it’s just the information, how much should I pay?”

The Nutrient Injection gazed at the line that appeared on Pioneer Terminal, a slight smile escaping his lips: Can’t resist, can you?

He pondered for a moment and wrote another line, ”The full set for two hundred thousand, payment can follow delivery.”

It’s impossible not to charge; he already knows the opponent’s character, and giving it for free is out of the question, but they won’t accept it.

Qu Jianlei responded straightforwardly, ”Cash for goods, where is the transaction?”

”Three days from now at dusk, beside the guard room of that primary school, at the Avengers Alliance’s contact point.”

Qu Jianlei had a deep impression of that place; indeed, it’s a pretty good spot for trading intelligence.

He originally wanted the Flower Scorpion to run the errand, but considering the other’s mysterious background, he decided to go personally.

Upon seeing Nutrient Injection again, the latter was unexpectedly dressed in a school uniform, looking... quite the part.

Qu Jianlei handed over Silver Notes and accepted the Storage Device without checking it because there’s no need.

For the other to deceive him for two hundred thousand, a Supreme favor would be lost.

If such a thing did indeed happen, Qu Jianlei considered the exchange worthwhile.

”Generous sir!” Nutrient Injection placidly flattered, ”Is there any other information you wish to purchase?”

Qu Jianlei glanced at him, unable to resist asking, ”Selling information so cheaply, aren’t you afraid of trouble from the Scavenger?”

Scavenger sells intelligence at a high price and hates market disruption at low prices.

And the information provided involves multiple Supreme, so it’s worth more.

But Nutrient Injection replied indifferently, ”I’ve worked for them but do not belong to the Scavenger organization.”

”I want to befriend a Supreme without considering anyone’s expression... Are you sure there’s no information you wish to purchase?”

Isn’t the Scavenger’s account worth buying? Qu Jianlei was somewhat doubtful.

However, it didn’t matter; if they dared to earn this money, naturally they could bear the corresponding price.

He did have a question, ”A Supreme went to Warhammer Star Realm... do you know why?”

”Yes,” Nutrient Injection nodded promptly and extended his hand, ”Fifty thousand Silver Notes, please.”

Fifty thousand... Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched, not because he found it expensive, ”A Supreme’s worth is only this much?”

”They originally just...” Nutrient Injection halted halfway through his words, then earnestly expressed.

”Not many people know this, and it isn’t particularly valuable.”

Why do I see disdain for the Supreme in your eyes? Qu Jianlei felt a bit suspicious.

But he wasn’t overly inquisitive, handing over a stack of Silver Notes, ”Our information level is somewhat unstable.”

Nutrient Injection casually accepted the Silver Notes and responded, ”The root of the matter doesn’t lie in Warhammer, but in Sirius.”

”So, not being able to get intel is quite normal; the cause is a Light Attribute Awakened named Celestial Sound...”

”I’ve heard a little about this,” Qu Jianlei responded calmly, ”But could she really attract a Supreme?”

”Certainly not,” Nutrient Injection answered without hesitation, ”She just relied on a somewhat capable team!”

Somewhat capable? Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, this little buddy’s standards are impressively high.

However, Nutrient Injection remained oblivious, continuing with his viewpoint.

”What makes things worse is that during that time, a space anomaly occurred above Qingsha Star...”

Space anomaly? Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei was dumbfounded—because at that time, they assisted Celestial Sound in fervently pursuing enemies...

”Sir indeed understood,” the Nutrient Injection continued to speak incessantly, ”this means opportunity...”

Afterwards, whatever else he said, Qu Jianlei genuinely wasn’t in the mood to listen carefully anymore.

Frequent use of the Teleportation Array could trigger spatial resonance?

And then... the Imperial might think this unusual fluctuation could be a sign of treasure manifestation?

He never would have imagined that such a twist could occur, and it was indeed caused by them.

This anomaly attracted the attention of the Imperial Storm, so they searched on Qingsha Star for a long time.

When he realized this matter might be related to Celestial Sound, he rushed non-stop to Paradise Star.

But come on, please figure it out, even if there’s a treasure manifestation, would it really be your turn, someone above the Supreme?

And the Nutrient Injection was still commenting, ”Actually, whether there is a treasure or not is still uncertain, that one... is a bit anxious.”

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and spoke, ”As far as you know, how many above the Supreme does the Imperial have?”

The Nutrient Injection’s words came to an abrupt halt, and he didn’t answer for a long time.

”I’m willing to pay,” Qu Jianlei added, ”name your price.”

”This isn’t about money at all, okay?” The Nutrient Injection bitterly smiled upon hearing this, ”You’re overestimating me.”

”Is that so?” Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, ”Then I’ll change the question... do you have someone above the Supreme behind you?”

He couldn’t help but think this way, seeing how the Nutrient Injection appeared timid, but actually conducted affairs with remarkable composure.

Moreover, from the core, he could sense that the other party respected him, but wasn’t afraid!

Someone who could act this way must have some confidence, and he absolutely didn’t believe otherwise.

And this confidence couldn’t just come from one or two Supremes—a group of three to five Supremes visiting would kneel before his team!

So it’s very likely that someone above the Supreme was behind the other party.

”Above the Supreme... behind me?” The Nutrient Injection was stunned upon hearing this.

After a while, he just bitterly smiled and shook his head, ”There’s truly no one above the Supreme behind me, if I’m lying, may I be single for life.”

”Single for life... what kind of saying is that?” Qu Jianlei really didn’t expect someone to make such an oath.

But given your height, without entering the Supreme, it’s really hard to say.

However, if you’re willing to spend money, you can surely find a temporary girlfriend; if that doesn’t work... don’t you still have your hands?

Thinking about the Imperial’s attention to descendants, he felt a bit of understanding, ”Are you talking about a completely independent Taekwondo Chamber?”

A completely independent Taekwondo Chamber is also high-end Imperial technology, with high fees.

The man provides offspring, the woman provides trouble, then... both are just responsible for paying, everything else is up to the Imperial.

But no matter how completely independent, it’s still not as good as pure natural, plus there are ethical and parent-child relationship issues.

”I don’t understand this,” the Nutrient Injection decisively shook his head, ”How many children does the knowledgeable Sir have?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”I won’t give you the opportunity to sell my information.”

”Alright then,” the Nutrient Injection didn’t mind what he said, and instead expressed seriously.

”There’s truly no one above the Supreme behind me, as for how many the Imperial has... probably not more than thirty.”

”Thir... thirty?” Qu Jianlei was dumbstruck, ”Are you sure you didn’t add an extra zero?”

”Of course not,” the Nutrient Injection answered with certainty, ”Supreme is the pinnacle of the Awakened.”

”There’s simply no path above the Supreme, this is acknowledged by the Imperial, and it’s also the origin of the term ’Supreme’!”

”But over the years, there’s always been someone trying to break through the Supreme, to see the scenery one step higher.”

”They’ve used various means, and a few fortunate ones have indeed succeeded.”

”But why is it still said there’s no path? Because it lacks universality and promotability!”

”In other words, even those who have broken through the shackles above the Supreme, have significant hidden dangers within themselves!”

Damn... Qu Jianlei was thoroughly shocked by these words.

He had heard similar words from Jia Shuqing, also from the Paranoid, in fact, these two were exactly as the Nutrient Injection described.

But even these two didn’t speak as thoroughly as the Nutrient Injection, as if he personally witnessed many attempting to reach above the Supreme.

However, the Nutrient Injection hadn’t finished speaking yet, ”Why do those who’ve reached above the Supreme seldom publicly announce it?”

”The reason is simple, they contain significant uncertainty, they can’t be promoted, let alone endure ridicule!”

”Why ridicule them?” Qu Jianlei puzzledly frowned, ”At least they have the courage to take this step!”

”Truly proud people don’t allow themselves to fail!” the Nutrient Injection responded faintly.

”So, although the Supremes you’ve heard of are few, I think ten or twenty is still possible.”

”Half-dead above the Supreme...” Qu Jianlei squeezed his forehead, then suspiciously glanced at the Nutrient Injection.

”Maybe you don’t have someone above the Supreme behind you, but knowing so much, could it be that you are above the Supreme?”
