Chapter 1206: Chapter 1072: Extraordinary Talent

Faced with Bentley’s question, Nutrient Injection straightforwardly said: The cultivation technique your boss provided is truly impressive!

As for why not close himself off completely? He said he was in an adaptation phase and would consider closing himself off after a period.

Old Ben waited until Zi Jiu Immortal’s turn came up to tell his boss about the conversation.

Qu Jianlei thought this reaction was quite normal; it would be unreliable if the other party didn’t need an adaptation period.

Since the little guy is so cautious, he can basically rest assured—he hopes this guy can successfully break through.

However, he really didn’t expect that twenty-one days later, Nutrient Injection managed to break through!

At that time, a flow of energy fluctuations came from the direction of the villa. Qu Jianlei noticed this, and upon perceiving it casually, he was stunned.

Does it have to be so exaggerated? Just a while ago he was talking about adapting, and now silently, he has already reached the supreme level?

Of course, the other four streams of spiritual power followed suit—this was practically inevitable.

The Paranoid straightforwardly exclaimed, ”What the heck, isn’t this too much? Since when is breaking through to supreme so easy?”

Mu Yu couldn’t help but sigh, ”This really is... exceptional talent, no wonder the boss values him so much.”

However, Qinghu and Granny Jia were relatively calmer, showing little surprise.

Nutrient Injection not only advanced quickly, but even stabilized the realm in a very short time.

Three days after advancing, he walked out of the villa, and though his aura wasn’t perfectly contained, the fluctuations weren’t very noticeable.

Qu Jianlei expressed some surprise once more, ”What’s the principle behind your way of containing aura?”

Honestly speaking, in just three days to be able to contain the aura to such a degree, he himself couldn’t achieve that.

He provided him with the Spirit Gathering Array and modified the cultivation technique, so asking this question shouldn’t be too much, right?

”It’s still that mark,” Nutrient Injection blinked and looked at him puzzled.

”You didn’t think I could stabilize so quickly just relying on my own abilities, did you?”

Qu Jianlei didn’t doubt this explanation—the mark above supreme level having more functions is quite normal, right?

He reluctantly shook his head, ”Never mind, I was just wondering if I could learn from it.”

”It’s not impossible to handle this,” Nutrient Injection unhesitatingly stated, ”I’ll talk to that senior about it.”

”I’ve just advanced, asking my elders for some advancement gifts... that’s normal, right?”

This guy really knows how to deal with people, Qu Jianlei subconsciously wanted to praise him—he doesn’t mind complimenting others.

But recalling certain excessive rumors, he eventually held back.

In the end, he merely expressed lightly, ”This is really not something to force, just ask when convenient.”

However, just two days later, Nutrient Injection came looking for him, ”Hey, there’s something I’d like your help with...”

”That senior knows about my advancement and asked me to inquire; the magical treasure he bought last time, do you know how to use it?”

Qu Jianlei was first stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, is he talking about the Soul Suppressing Bell?

”Are you talking about the ancient divine text one? He really bought it?”

The inscription on the Soul Suppressing Bell is not regular script but older bell-and-tripod inscriptions!

”Yes, yes,” Nutrient Injection nodded repeatedly, ”That thing is very difficult to use and has no instructions!”

It’s certainly difficult to use! Qu Jianlei knew perfectly well, the Soul Suppressing Bell should be a genuine Nascent Soul treasure.

For a fake nascent soul to use it with ease, it’s likely not that simple.

He contemplated briefly and said, ”I haven’t observed that treasure up close, so it’s hard to say precisely.”

”As for what it’s all about, I certainly need to handle it personally; otherwise, I wouldn’t make an easy judgment!”

”Handling it... seems a reasonable request,” Nutrient Injection nodded thoughtfully, ”I’ll first relay this information back.”

”No rush,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”I presume I need to reach that realm to attempt it.”

”Why not... try now, it doesn’t hurt,” Nutrient Injection suggested thoughtfully, ”You can fight beyond your level.”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”It’s not the same thing; the difference in combat power and realm is fundamentally different.”

Nutrient Injection earnestly stated, ”The deal involves money; no one would take advantage of such triviality.”

Qu Jianlei shook his head with a mix of amusement and exasperation, ”Is this a money issue? The support I provide cannot be bought with money.”

”...” Nutrient Injection was rendered speechless for a while before speaking, ”By the way, can you help translate some divine texts?”

Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied decisively, ”No... Borrowing money is fine, borrowing the way isn’t!”

Nutrient Injection blinked for ages before he realized what he meant, ”Alright, it was my mistake.”

”I can get some divine text materials, after you study them, feel free to give me something if you wish.”

This condition is already pretty lenient.

It could be said, Qu Jianlei holds a monopolistic position in divine text mastery, and if others seek his help, it truly depends on his mood.

Yet, Nutrient Injection is straightforward enough—I’ll give you some divine text materials to choose from; after you’ve selected, I won’t demand translations from you!

Anyway, whatever you casually take out, I’ll accept it completely, and won’t fuss over whether it matches what I give out.

The main operation here is all about trust—it’s okay if things aren’t as expected, as long as both parties gain something!

That’s why Nutrient Injection is genuine in doing things.

But he’s no pushover; when he gets ruthless, he’s really fierce. This proves that his kindness is worth cherishing.

However, Qu Jianlei still smiled and shook his head, ”Recently, calculation power is a bit tight, let’s postpone what you mentioned.”

Calculation power tight? Nutrient Injection was instantly flabbergasted, ”Didn’t two large computer systems just arrive?”

Qu Jianlei shrugged his shoulders helplessly, ”Lots of projects waiting to be calculated!”

But Nutrient Injection was still a bit confused, ”The power of these systems should be strong, right?”

Nearly ten billion calculation units, even the Supreme finds them impressive, and there are two systems.

Qu Jianlei remained silent, as even he felt that the more he amassed, the more monstrous the required calculation power became.

He felt like all his efforts contributed to the upgrading of Little Lake.

He could only ask despondently, ”Is exchanging two computer systems for calculating the Five Elements Battle Array... expensive?”

”Of course not expensive!” Nutrient Injection answered without hesitation, ”If sold outright, it would be worth more than ten systems!”

Then, he suddenly had a thought, ”Wasn’t there a pause on improving the Five Elements Array? So... are you researching other battle arrays?”

Your intuition is a bit too strong, isn’t it? Qu Jianlei was genuinely surprised.

However, he managed to control his expression well and replied ambiguously.

”With such strong calculation power, it’s impossible to research just one project. My calculation tasks have always been multithreaded.”

However, this vague explanation only piqued Nutrient Injection’s interest, ”Multithreaded... what other projects are there then?”

Qu Jianlei smiled and shook his head, ”I can’t say, what if I can’t achieve it after saying it? Don’t I care about my reputation?”

”You just don’t want to tell me!” Nutrient Injection huffed unhappily.

His intelligence was never low; it’s just that there was a gap in cultivation levels before, making it hard to be too presumptuous with the other party.

Now that his cultivation level has also caught up, he dared to joke, ”Where is the guarantee of success in research projects?”

Qu Jianlei smiled in response, ”The projects I handle, even the other team members don’t know about them, how could you be an exception?”

Nutrient Injection’s eyes darted around, ”Boss, I’m at the Supreme level now too, can I join your team?”

Qu Jianlei looked at the fluctuating aura around the other, hesitating for a moment.

—The Supreme aura isn’t well-controlled yet, but the control level is already high; with a bit of adaptation, it’ll be fine.

Moreover, the Five Elements Battle Array is taking shape, and the team truly lacks Supreme fire and wood attributes.

But this guy... how to put it? He’s overly jumpy and has too many secrets.

But refusing seems to lack sufficient reason too.

The other party has always been a pleasant collaboration partner and has fought alongside him.

And the little guy knows several of his trump cards.

Including but not limited to Instant Flash, the Five Elements Battle Array, artificial intelligence, Divine Text Mastery, the deciphered Qi Gathering Array, and Spirit Gathering Array...

Actually, the mysteries of the Teleportation Array have probably been partially guessed by the other party too.

As for his Attributeless secrets, those are truly child’s play now.

The key problem is... this guy is affecting his reputation, would it be suitable to include him in the team?

Finally, he could only reply, ”I need to discuss this with everyone.”

”But you’re so close with that person, if you join the team, can you ensure placing the team’s interests first?”

”That’s easy,” Nutrient Injection replied without hesitation, ”Such a big personality, can’t have much interest conflict with us.”

Not even in the team yet, and already using ”us” in the wording, showing a decent attitude.

But these words do somewhat underestimate Qu Jianlei’s team; he indeed possesses many good things.

Qu Jianlei didn’t mind, but curiously asked, ”What if our actions conflict with that person’s interest?”

Nutrient Injection still casually replied, ”No conflicts possible; I’m free-range, just mind my own opportunity.”

This situation fits Qu Jianlei’s understanding, isn’t Granny Jia exactly like this with Zi Jiu Immortal?

But the problem arises, ”Didn’t you say you lost your memory? How do you know that person?”

Nutrient Injection answered offhandedly, ”That person saved me back then, and later... I found I like wandering around.”

”Wandering around...” Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly; after all, still young.

After wandering long enough, you’ll realize how precious a stable life is.

While the two were talking, suddenly, a white beam streaked across the sky.

It’s the laser cannon at the territory, shooting straight into the sky, disappearing through the clouds.
