Chapter 1146: Chapter 1012: Fiery Temper

The one chasing after was a Wood Attribute Supreme, his face pale, looking like he was suffering from a lack of energy and vitality.

”Hmm?” Qu Jianlei furrowed his brows at the words, ”Speak properly, don’t force me to get physical!”

”Ha, do you think I’m afraid of you?” The man chasing laughed, then glanced left and right.

Quite a few people in the plaza had already turned their attention to the source of the commotion, two Supremes arguing—it was indeed quite thrilling.

The man snorted coldly, ”If you don’t want to make a fool of yourself, you’d best find a place to talk.”

”Hmm,” Qu Jianlei snorted too, he didn’t believe he’d be the one making a fool of himself, but neither did he want others to watch them like circus clowns.

Upon arriving at the corner of a building, the man spoke, ”For someone who’s also a Supreme, can’t you even produce a billion?”

Qu Jianlei sneered disdainfully, ”Yeah, I can’t produce it... that junk, I would feel embarrassed even taking out ten million!”

The man was about to lose his temper, but then he froze for a second, ”Junk... Are you freaking blind?”

”Talk properly,” Qu Jianlei raised a finger at the other, speaking expressionlessly, ”If you don’t know how to speak, I can teach you.”

The man laughed angrily, ”Fine, then teach me, what do you think I’m selling?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, then looked at the other calmly, ”Teaching knowledge, I charge for it.”

”However, teaching you manners with fists and feet, that can be for free!”

”Teach me with fists and feet...?” The man pointed at himself, bewildered, ”Do you know who I am?”

”That’s not important,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”When you beg for mercy, you’ll tell me yourself.”

”Haha,” the man laughed angrily, ”It’s my first time encountering someone as insolent as you...”

”This is Amolin Supreme,” the Nutrient Injection suddenly spoke, ”Seems like you have some connection.”

”Damn...” Qu Jianlei and Amolin spoke simultaneously.

Amolin was called out unexpectedly, especially having a junior call him by name, ”Junior, you...”

”So it’s you,” Qu Jianlei snorted coldly.

Back at the Star System, he had helped this Earth Scholar out once, but they only communicated through Starship, never meeting face to face.

Kennng it’s this person, he felt somewhat indebted, ”Forget it, won’t bother quarreling with you.”

”Afraid?” Amolin sneered coldly, ”Don’t worry, just between you and me... we won’t involve others.”

Though the words were harsh, they were essentially probing.

”I’m not afraid at all,” Qu Jianlei laughed, his smile full of bad intentions, ”Just worried some friend might be unhappy.”

Seeing this smile, Amolin instinctively felt things were going south.

After hearing the latter part, his heart still wasn’t at ease, ”I don’t know what your friend’s name is?”

”That’s inconvenient to reveal,” Qu Jianlei shook his head.

”Just heard he said, you seemed to have had a dispute with the Steff family, he intervened a bit, not sure if it’s true.”

”If I kill someone he saved, it would inevitably damage the friendship, do me a favor, tell me if it’s true?”

Amolin was stunned upon hearing... Are you freaking related to that person?

But the incident where he was attacked wasn’t exactly unknown—there were quite a few people aboard the ship then, perhaps it’s just bluffing.

”That matter did happen, if you are his friend, then forget it.”

”But we need to confirm his name, if you’re pretending... then I can’t be blamed.”

As if you visited registration last time... Qu Jianlei chuckled, ”Then let’s place a bet, add some stakes?”

”Sure,” Amolin agreed without hesitation, ”My stake is those three Divine Text Treasures, what’s yours?”

Three Divine Text Treasures? Qu Jianlei almost choked, ”My stake is a million... silver coins!”

”This... isn’t this excessive,” Amolin’s pale face became increasingly colorless, ”One million?”

”What?” Qu Jianlei looked at him calmly, ”How much do you think you can sell? Does your organization even understand archaeology?”

”We...” Amolin couldn’t catch his breath, almost suffocating, ”Do you even know what those are?”

He felt a sense of futility similar to playing music to a cow.

”They are meaningless to me,” Qu Jianlei stated calmly, ”At most... they have some commemorative value.”

”So you really don’t understand!” Amolin howled softly, ”This Divine Text Treasure relates to destiny!”

”You don’t comprehend its precious significance!”

Money... relates to destiny? Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow: Just how much have you misunderstood about the Divine Text?

Indeed, money can change fate, but... with just these three Copper Coins? Even three Yuan Head coins are better.

The next moment, he laughed, is it the Eight Trigrams and Six Lines? ”You think... can predict destiny?”

”You do understand!” Amolin looked at him with a mournful gaze, ”Now do you still say one million?”

”Even a million is high!” Qu Jianlei exclaimed, rolling his eyes.

He finally realized where the misunderstanding between them lay, the other mistook Copper Coins as a prerequisite for divination.

It’s just... absurd, there are many tools for divining destiny, okay?

Shells, turtle shells, jade stones can all be used for divination, of course, Copper Coins can too.

After the Tang Dynasty, Huaxia favored using Copper Coins for divination more, Blade Coins were more niche.

Using copper coins for divination, Kaiyuan Tongbao is indeed mainstream. Besides the thriving imperial fortune, there are plenty of these copper coins too.

But this thing, whether you believe in it or not, it’s merely a medium. How did it make the Imperial believe it pertains to fate?

Facing such ignorance, Qu Jianlei had nothing to say, ”Then forget it, I don’t want it.”

”Hmm?” Amolin blinked a few times, his pale face looking even more worn out, ”Are you sure you didn’t misspeak?”

”Haha,” Qu Jianlei laughed dryly, ”I already said, teaching knowledge requires a fee!”

”But isn’t your friend... also part of our organization?” Amolin forced a smile.

”No need to be so stingy, right?”

”I’ve never been generous,” Qu Jianlei turned to leave.

”How about this,” Amolin gritted his teeth and spoke, ”If you explain clearly, I’ll give you a treasure.”

”No need,” Qu Jianlei shook his head calmly, ”To me, this is really just a collection.”

”Why not just tell me where you found it?”

Copper coins can be a keepsake, but asking for their origin might uncover an ancestor’s relic.

Amolin hesitated before nodding, ”Alright.”

Qu Jianlei straightforwardly indicated, ”This is just one of the tools for calculating fate...yes, like the terminal in my hand.”

He shook the Pioneer in his hand, ”It can access the network, but it’s just a tool as well.”

Amolin nodded thoughtfully, then asked, ”How are you so sure?”

The answer is important, but ensuring the answer’s correctness is even more crucial.

”Do I have anything to gain by deceiving you?” Qu Jianlei glanced at him irritably, his opinion of the Earth Scholar’s organization lowering slightly.

Such a straightforward answer, yet they can’t tell truth from falsehood?

However, Amolin answered solemnly, ”It’s very likely that mysterious energy of unknown origin could adhere to the Divine Text Treasure...”

”What you said does make some sense, but can I fully trust it?”

”Unknown... mysterious energy?” Qu Jianlei was slightly surprised.

This situation really defies reason.

Dealing with metaphysics, even he couldn’t guarantee that the related causality wouldn’t lead to any rule changes.

So he could only sigh helplessly, ”If it actually worked, would I be rejecting you for a treasure?”

This time, it was Amolin who was stunned; the logic was truly powerful.

After three or five seconds, he responded, ”These three treasures came from the Maiden Star Realm during my early years...”

This guy was genuinely sincere, not casually naming a star realm just for the sake of it.

He handed out a terminal and storage device, swiped around it for a while, and handed the storage device to Qu Jianlei.

”I’ve marked the specific location, whenever you decide to go there, take a look.”

Now that made some sense! Qu Jianlei nodded, pocketed the storage device, and turned to leave.

Not leaving a number or contact? Amolin watched in astonishment as the silhouette left.

Nonetheless, many Strong Supremes indeed had independent inclinations; he had encountered many such people, so he could only sigh inwardly.

After wrapping up this deal, Qu Jianlei developed a bit of interest in independent stalls, so he continued browsing online.

Quickly, he found another item he was interested in.

It was a broken sword with only some sword guard and handle remaining, looking incredibly worn.

However, for Qu Jianlei, the unique hand guard shape of the broken sword was extremely eye-catching.

At first glance, it looked like Peng Spreads Its Wings; upon closer inspection, it resembled two ancient curling heads.

With this particular design, to claim that it’s unrelated to Divine Land, he would never believe it.

He had seen plenty of Imperial swords, but since he always preferred using knives, he never systematically studied swordsmanship.

Though he understood what imperial swords looked like, most had simple designs—they were merely weapons for killing.

Elegantly designed sword guards did exist, but typically were excessively ornate, serving mainly decorative purposes.

The design of this broken sword’s guard didn’t quite excel or fail but had an intense Divine Land element.

The stall owner was online, and Qu Jianlei asked directly, ”Can I come to see your goods?”

The reaction was a bit slow, taking about ten minutes before replying, ”Which one caught your eye?”

Qu Jianlei certainly couldn’t answer truthfully now, ”I see you have many items, I want to take a closer look.”

This time, the answer was straightforward, ”Scram!”

Qu Jianlei was taken aback, probing again, ”Are you above Supreme?”

There was a pause for a few seconds before the response, ”None of your business! If not buying, then scram!”

Qu Jianlei was speechless; even if above Supreme, your attitude is way too fiery!

But disdaining the goods is a buyer’s nature, not even allowing a look, is that how business is done?

”You’re lucky to have survived this long!”
