Chapter 1205: Chapter 1071: Borrowing an Array

The Nutrient Injection hesitated for a while before shyly saying, ”I want to borrow another one of your arrays.”

”Hmm?” Qu Jianlei was taken aback, ”Do you think one array is not enough?”

After settling here, he built multiple arrays, including Qi Gathering Array and Spirit Gathering Array, both regular and super versions.

He didn’t keep any of this from the Nutrient Injection—for those above the Supreme, this little transgression is nothing, right?

The Nutrient Injection expressed a desire to cultivate as well, so Qu Jianlei specially built a regular Qi Gathering Array in the villa area.

Such an array should suffice for the daily cultivation of a regular Supreme, but this guy is somehow dissatisfied?

”No,” Nutrient Injection shook his head, embarrassedly said, ”I want to use a different type of array.”

”Hmm?” Qu Jianlei frowned, ”Your eyesight is impressive... that’s not a Qi Gathering Array.”

”I know,” Nutrient Injection nodded, ”That should be the array used by Primordial Warriors in their cultivation.”

Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly upon hearing this, ”It’s really not exactly that... It’s not that I’m reluctant for you to use it, but I’m afraid you can’t handle it!”

Nutrient Injection hesitated and said, ”I feel it would be more useful for me... my intuition is usually right.”

”Tsk,” Qu Jianlei stroked his chin, expressing difficulty, ”The systems are different, have you considered the consequences of failure?”

”I’ll try it first,” Nutrient Injection answered without hesitation, ”If it doesn’t feel right, I can stop immediately.”

”Why so stubborn?” Qu Jianlei was completely speechless.

But in the next moment, his eyes lit up slightly, ”Wouldn’t your attendant have secretly come to observe?”

The Nutrient Injection kept shaking his head, firmly stating, ”That person definitely hasn’t come secretly, I can swear it.”

No ”secret”? Qu Jianlei was momentarily distracted, finding the wording a bit odd, but he returned to the topic.

”I have a set of refined Fire Attribute Cultivation Method... take it for reference.”

If the other party can understand his modifications and make targeted changes, then it’s possible to attempt using the Spirit Gathering Array.

If they can’t understand and still insist, he can only... try using physical persuasion.

After all, a good collaborator can make wrong choices but not because of him.

The Nutrient Injection accepted the Cultivation Technique without hesitation, nodded happily, and left to find Gustine’s housekeeper.

Next, the housekeeper took him aboard the Business Starship for space rendezvous.

Granny Jia knew a new computer set was arriving and came to Qu Jianlei to understand the situation.

Then she noticed the boss seemed a little off, ”Did something happen?”

Qu Jianlei hesitated for a bit, but eventually narrated the whole incident.

He didn’t mind exposing the Spirit Gathering Array, but was depressed by the little one’s stubbornness, smiling bitterly, ”What’s all this about...”

Granny Jia’s expression became a bit strange after hearing it, she pondered and spoke, ”You seem to have a different feeling towards him...”

”Not at all!” Qu Jianlei shook his head, firmly denying, ”I just think he’s a good collaborator.”

”Really?” Granny Jia looked at him meaningfully, ”There are so many females in the team... You don’t seem to feel anything for any of them?”

”It’s that I’m too busy, and...” Qu Jianlei wanted to explain that he very much dislikes office romances.

But as the words reached his mouth, he inexplicably stopped, just blinking repeatedly, his face growing increasingly unpleasant.

Then he softly muttered, ”This is absolutely impossible... simply absurd!”

Through two lifetimes, he has always resolutely opposed abnormal feelings between the same sex.

To him, it’s not only twisted but would severely impact the reproduction of the species; it’s fundamentally anti-human!

But now... why does it feel like something is a bit off?

Just then, Qinghu came over, confusedly asking, ”What absurd... What happened?”

Granny Jia restrained her laughter and recounted the conversation between the two.

Qinghu couldn’t help but chuckle lightly after listening.

”You’ve reached an age where you scare the boss?”

”Where did I scare him?” Granny Jia spread her hands, innocent face, but the laughter couldn’t be hidden.

”I just feel he is overly concerned about the Nutrient Injection, he thought too far himself!”

”Alright, this matter I have experienced,” Qinghu waved his hand, decisively said.

”Among the boss’s collaborators, there are very few reliable ones; everything else you worry about is extra.”

”Exactly,” Qu Jianlei nodded, glaring at Granny Jia, ”Learned to scare people, excessive!”

Granny Jia suppressed a smile and didn’t speak further.

A day later, four large cargo starships landed.

The workers had long been prepared for unloading, with various intelligent equipment taking turns on stage.

It only took two hours for them to unload all the cargo from the four starships, and then the starships took off.

It’s worth mentioning that the two computing units not only have no backdoors but are equipped with twenty professional robots.

From unpacking to assembling the equipment, everything was done by robots. The level of intelligence was terrifyingly high.

Qu Jianlei didn’t even need to do anything; he just stood by to check the installation process, achieving a transition from worker to supervisor.

It’s no wonder that being above supreme is different, they are much more reliable than the average person.

Throughout the installation process, Qu Jianlei wasn’t the only one inspecting; the other four supreme beings also watched closely.

The Paranoid even took down many key points, not forgetting his promise—to help the boss handle trivial matters in the future.

Installation was easy to say; debugging was a headache. One couldn’t rely on robots for such tasks.

Qu Jianlei took a full five days to debug the first unit.

It wasn’t that he was unfamiliar; the key was that the equipment was too valuable, and he was afraid that any negligence would cause major issues.

Even minor issues were unacceptable. After all, this was an investment from above supreme, who handled things quite accurately and beautifully.

Qu Jianlei felt that a tiny mistake would make him look particularly incompetent.

After completing the debugging, he watched the unit run at full capacity for three days before starting to debug the second unit.

This time it was slightly faster, taking only two days, but still involved checking over ten times.

With both units up and running, half a month went by.

Not even two days after running, Nutrient Injection approached, ”Boss, I’ve reviewed the cultivation technique, there’s no issue in modifying it.”

”Isn’t it that way?” Qu Jianlei looked at him with suspicion, ”Are you sure you understand what you’re saying?”

Nutrient Injection scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, ”I’ve even asked an expert to review this technique...”

”That one said it suits me, and strongly suggested that I use it.”

”You...” Qu Jianlei’s mouth moved slightly, unsure of what to say.

The other party disclosed the cultivation technique without Qu Jianlei’s permission, which should have made him angry.

But considering this improved cultivation technique, he had sold several copies already, and hadn’t instructed otherwise beforehand.

In fact, Qu Jianlei didn’t think that with the insight and experience of those above supreme, they would find the improved technique very precious.

It’s like his Instant Flash—just because no one thought of it before doesn’t mean the barrier is high.

It’s just a layer of window paper; breaking through it is nothing special.

Of course, the improved technique is surely more advanced than Instant Flash, but could it really challenge those above supreme?

Anyone daring to challenge above supreme must be a prodigy, with astonishing perseverance and courage, and surely an extraordinary IQ!

What Qu Jianlei cared about was: Does that person behind you really feel secure enough to permit modifications to the cultivation technique?

However, to raise an objection, he also wasn’t sure how well that person understood Nutrient Injection.

Was it mere bravery or truly well-understood knowledge?

His initial thought was, if the other party didn’t heed his advice, he would have to resort to physical persuasion.

But thinking about Granny Jia’s peculiar smile, he decided to take fewer actions rather than more.

He couldn’t let others think that, right?

So he nodded, ”Alright, since you’ve decided, I’ll set up one for you.”

In the mountain villa, Qu Jianlei built a normal version of the Qi Gathering Array, thinking it would suffice.

Yet, after building it, he couldn’t help but add, ”If it doesn’t feel right, then... never mind, it’s up to you.”

Watching him turn and leave sheepishly, Nutrient Injection’s eyes revealed a hint of vague amusement.

As the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged, he took a deep breath and showed a slightly intoxicated expression.

Then he muttered in a barely audible voice, ”Indeed, it’s just this feeling...”

Since Nutrient Injection began his retreat, Qu Jianlei embarked on new calculations.

The Five Elements Battle Array showed initial effectiveness, which could be temporarily paused for improvement. He wanted to calculate other arrays.

Four Symbols, Three Talents, Two Principles... In any case, there was plenty of computing power, so he could arrange them all.

There was also the need to refine the Nascent Soul Technique. Although he had a clear framework, it still required a lot of calculations.

Meanwhile, he arranged for Terry, Flower Scorpion, and Zi Jiu Immortal to take turns guarding the villa; they could be considered Dharma Protectors.

As for why not invite the supreme beings to guard? He didn’t want to be laughed at again—A-level courage wasn’t that exaggerated.

In fact, with such a small territory, his supreme folks could sense everything just casually.

He’s used to several spiritual powers descending at any moment; there’s no choice. You know, life is like that, if you can’t resist...

However, these three were not gossipy and were very devoted, plus taking turns to guard wasn’t tiring.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Nutrient Injection had almost stayed in the villa every day.

However, he didn’t show signs of being secluded; he occasionally revealed his face, pacing about.

Eventually, Bentley couldn’t hold back anymore; he cared more about Nutrient Injection’s success rate in breaking through.

Because Bentley was also about to challenge above supreme, and his cultivation technique was regulated by the Imperial authorities, calculated by the boss himself!
