Chapter 1152: Chapter 1018: An Endless Stream

The nutrient injection coughed lightly, ”Boss, control your expression... there are outsiders here.”

In Julia’s eyes, there was a look of pleading: You can pretend I’m not here.

But the two people in the conversation really didn’t pay much attention to her.

In the next moment, the nutrient injection looked at the Earth Attribute Supreme, who was limp as mud, ”What did you see, what did you hear?”

This tone, this wording, really didn’t sound like an A-level talking to a supreme.

The short and sturdy supreme had long been scared out of his wits, and his physical condition didn’t allow him to have any over-the-top reactions.

Upon hearing this, he answered respectfully, ”I only know it’s a misunderstanding... um, the responsibility lies with us, I know nothing else.”

”Not too stupid,” the nutrient injection spoke flatly.

”Tell Julia’s family that we have detained her. If they don’t want her to suffer, send fifty billion for living expenses first.”

Fifty billion... for living expenses? Qu Jianlei almost thought he misheard. What do they eat every day?

But the short and sturdy supreme didn’t find it strange at all, ”How long is this living expense for?”

”Can only guarantee a year,” the nutrient injection spoke flatly, ”of course, it can be negotiated if it’s too expensive.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched fiercely again.

The living expense for this person equaled twenty years of profit from his family’s energy stone ore.

Even if it’s just a tailings, that is still an energy stone ore after all.

The short and sturdy supreme wasn’t angry, is it expensive? Of course, it’s expensive; negotiate? Have to negotiate!

He asked again, ”With fifty billion, what level of lifestyle can it roughly satisfy?”

”Don’t even think about levels,” the nutrient injection answered very straightforwardly.

”No problem with food and drink... you can also cultivate, small range of needs can be met.”

You call this ”don’t even think about levels”? Qu Jianlei had a strong feeling of doubt.

Even the requirements for cultivation can be met, isn’t this high-level enough?

Could it be, are there some black jargons I don’t understand?

The short and sturdy supreme thought for a moment and spoke hesitatingly, ”Isn’t fifty billion a bit too expensive?”

”There is a lower level,” the nutrient injection said plainly, ”five billion a year... but the cultivation time depends on opportunities.”

But even this is equivalent to the profit of two energy stone mines... Qu Jianlei instantly felt so poor.

However, the nutrient injection hadn’t finished speaking, ”And there’s the lowest tier, fifty million a year... food, accommodation, and cultivation are at your own expense.”

”Fifty million a year... is the lowest tier?” Qu Jianlei felt puzzled: What kind of life was I living before?

The nutrient injection looked at him and then nodded, ”It really is the lowest tier.”

”This I don’t understand,” Qu Jianlei couldn’t hold back anymore, ”Can’t you live below fifty million?”

Without waiting for the nutrient injection to answer, the short and sturdy supreme spoke first.

He replied with a bitter smile, ”You better not ask, below fifty million you really can’t live.”

Then I won’t ask, Qu Jianlei decisively shut his mouth.

”Let’s change places,” the nutrient injection glanced at Qu Jianlei, ”someone will be here soon.”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to pack up the tent and others Qu Jianlei was using.

As for those two half-dead supremes, he directly ignored them.

After packing up the stuff, the nutrient injection released an off-road vehicle, which surprisingly had a Dream Star license plate.

At this moment, a groaning sound came from the head on the ground, as if reminding them not to forget her.

Magically, the nutrient injection actually understood what she wanted to say, ”Take your body? It’s all electrocuted!”

But to be fair, even if the body is a bit scorched, as long as the head and body are sewn together, and with proper treatment, the recovery speed wouldn’t be too slow.

At least it’s much better than starting with a head to regenerate limbs.

So he nodded slightly, ”This is really a fifty billion level, remember that.”

The woman’s head made another groaning sound, seeming to agree.

Then he picked up her body, started the off-road vehicle, and just left.

Seeing them leave, the Earth Attribute Supreme on the ground wriggled a few times with difficulty and took out a watch.

”Miss, Miss was beheaded by someone... no, no, she is not dead yet, just taken away by the other party.”

At this moment, an alarm sounded in the distance, three spacecrafts rapidly approached from afar...

Qu Jianlei and the other person drove the off-road vehicle all the way forward, with faint alarm sounds from behind, but no one spoke.

On the opposite side, there were also vehicles of the City Guard passing by, but no one stopped this car for inspection.

Qu Jianlei didn’t speak, but was secretly amazed in his heart: the nutrient injection has considerable energy on this planet.

A murder case just happened, and the other party’s background isn’t small, yet the City Guard didn’t check the vehicle from the scene?

He couldn’t help but think about when he took this little guy away on Star No. 2... maybe he could have escaped by himself.

But thinking more about this doesn’t make sense, forces that thrive in the Inner Circle may not do well in the Remote Star Realm.

After driving for fifty or sixty kilometers, a medical vehicle appeared ahead, with the rescue lights on the roof flashing non-stop.

Two people stood by the car, staring intently at the off-road vehicle moving forward.

The off-road vehicle stopped beside the two, and the nutrition pod lowered its window, saying lightly, ”Take the person away.”

One of the women nodded towards the nutrient injection and picked up Julia’s head.

The other man carried Julia’s body, muttering softly, ”This is hard to stitch up...”

The surface of the body was charred, with crisp skin, making it quite difficult to stitch.

However, it’s still better than the cost of limb regeneration from the neck, just a bit more work for the doctor.

After setting down Julia, the off-road vehicle continued forward, and after a while, Qu Jianlei finally spoke.

”That woman just now... is she Supreme?”

”Yeah,” the nutrient injection replied nonchalantly, ”Julia is also Supreme, but with weaker cultivation level, couldn’t keep an eye on her.”

Is this what I meant? Qu Jianlei smirked but said no more.

The nutrient injection knew it answered off-topic and explained after a while, ”Some things are too complicated, getting involved is not good.”

”Mm,” Qu Jianlei nodded, thinking that he already had plenty of his own matters to worry about.

The nutrient injection took the opportunity to change the topic, ”Are we going to the Wanbao Market tomorrow?”

Your heart is indeed quite big, Qu Jianlei nodded, ”If there’s no impact, then let’s go.”

Sure enough, the next day the two went to the square again, continuing to scour the stalls for items.

Julia’s stall had already been removed.

However, when they left the square, the female Supreme had brought over all the items she displayed yesterday.

As for how the whole process was communicated, the other side remained silent, and Qu Jianlei didn’t bother to ask.

It’s just that today, none of the independent stalls had anything good, some of the goods that were of interest yesterday were all gone today.

Most likely because news of Julia had spread, since a few recent independent stalls here had ties to the Supreme.

It’s just uncertain what kind of rumors were circulating, causing everyone to hide their good stuff...

Still, Julia’s items held some value.

Both the replica and original of the broken sword had been brought over.

The beast hide of half square meter size had an undisclosed origin, was notably tough, and contained some energy.

Moreover, genetic testing revealed the beast hide wasn’t from any known creature.

Two fist-sized stones resembling crystals were from the Chaos Nebula, allegedly very likely to be Primordial Stones.

Julia’s planned price for each stone was a billion.

As for whether they’re worth that much, only heaven knows, as there’s nothing to reference.

However, it can be imagined that if someone does decide to spend such money, Julia may very well get curious.

The items sent over were not freebies; all goods were discounted by a billion.

Qu Jianlei didn’t need to pay since Julia was still under their control.

As for how the yearly fees were settled, it was the nutrient injection’s matter, and he didn’t want to ask.

Simply put, he killed so many people and gained what he wanted, and that was enough.

Without the nutrient injection tying things up, he wouldn’t be leisurely after killing.

Previously, he was always on the run, never imagining he could go shopping the next day.

So, how much others collect is their skill, and that money has nothing to do with him, no need to ask.

Thinking about it, the nutrient injection even managed to get a Supreme as a runner, wasn’t there any fee for that?

Another day passed, and seven or eight stalls unexpectedly displayed damaged weapons, all seeming to be antiques.

Qu Jianlei chuckled wryly and remarked, ”Is Supreme’s information really this on point?”

The nutrient injection responded coolly, ”If information isn’t on point here, the likelihood of losses is high.”

However, despite the abundant weaponry, few were appealing.

What was especially amusing was there were still three dubious items, one blatantly a fake replica.

Nevertheless, this person priced it high, starting directly at two billion.

Qu Jianlei stared puzzled at him, ”Have you considered the consequences of provoking the Supreme?”

”Is this considered provoking?” the other confidently retorted, ”I’m the seller, you’re the buyer, am I forcing you to buy?”

But it’s fake! Qu Jianlei looked at him speechless.

Of course, the other knew what he wanted to say, especially seeing a hint of threat in his gaze.

Despite that, he continued calmly, ”It’s simply not meant for you, but for those lacking discernment.”

Though true, it all sounded a bit sarcastic to Qu Jianlei.

Are there still people who’d spend two billion to buy your fake wares?

Such people may not be nonexistent, but the chance is so small it’s nearly negligible.

He felt like the other was trying to deceive him, so he squinted, ”You really aren’t afraid of having someone come after you?”
