Chapter 97 Xiaohu Upgrade (One update to congratulate Huang Jinmeng Bangzige 9/10)

The breakthrough that Qu Jianlei mentioned is not a breakthrough in Qi Refining.

Recently, he has been busy hunting to make money. Although he is also practicing, he has not felt any signs of breaking through the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He is talking about Xiaohu's upgrade. This winter, he has read a lot of mechanical books and has been enriching the database.

Recently, when he was visualizing Xiaohu, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the big-headed butterfly had a slight lag when it turned in circles.

He was not unfamiliar with this reaction. When he was on Blue Star, whenever Xiaohu wanted to upgrade the database, a similar phenomenon would occur.

At that time, he was sure that Xiaohu had no independent personality consciousness-he did not dare to openly challenge the social consensus.

But it is really difficult for him to determine what Xiaohu is like now.

In any case, he is looking forward to its upgrade. Unfortunately, this body is still a little weak and cannot support its computing power.

Just now Geng Shougong sent another 300 books, so he wanted to try and see if he could upgrade Xiaohu.

When they heard that he was going to study mechanical knowledge in seclusion again, Hua Xiezi and Cindy were a little speechless.

Claire even asked directly, "Is mechanical knowledge so interesting?"

"Of course it is interesting," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "How about you learn it too?"

"No," Claire shook her head like a rattle, "I want to learn swordsmanship from you."

She was originally a rebellious age, and she had long been envious of the swordsmanship taught by the panda boss.

But this idea is not too out of the ordinary, there are many female adventurers in the wasteland, and there are many good players like Hua Xiezi.

After hearing this, Spencer couldn't help rolling his eyes-is this team going to be attacked again?

The panda boss took action so frequently, this... is not good, right?

Qu Jianlei came out of seclusion after seven days, and as a rule, he first made a big pot of meat and ate it.

Finding that his mood was not right, others did not dare to ask more, but Claire was bold, "How did you gain from the retreat?"

"The gain was OK," Qu Jianlei answered a little uninterested, "but... it was too expensive."

This time, Xiaohu's upgrade consumed another B-level crystal, and he also had a splitting headache for three days.

The gain must be good. Xiaohu absorbed the mechanical knowledge of the wasteland in an orderly manner into the entire database.

It was an integrated absorption. Qu Jianlei could even make customized changes to the machinery of the wasteland.

After three days of headache, Xiaohu's computing ability has also improved a little.

But what made Qu Jianlei depressed was that he only had one B-level crystal left in his hand.

This crystal could help him rush to the seventh level of Qi Refining, but the eighth level was out of the question.

Seeing that he was eating up all the resources, he was also anxious... He couldn't use the A-level crystal in advance when the B-level crystal was still effective, right?

The key was that there were not many A-level crystals, only two in total... plus one unformed one.

It's true that you don't know how poor you are if you don't practice, Qu Jianlei thought gloomily while eating meat.

When Spencer came back at night and found that he had come out of retreat, he was somewhat surprised: Didn't he sneak attack others?

This is what he thought in his heart, and he provided new information, "Hongxue personally offered a reward for the attack on Heifeng!"

"Hongxue..." Qu Jianlei was a little speechless about this news, "What do they think, are they only allowed to rob things by Heifeng?"

"The main thing is that there has been no clues," Spencer replied disapprovingly, "Hongxue feels slapped in the face..."

Then he sighed, his face was a little ugly, "It is said that there are two mutant crystals in the materials robbed by Heifeng."

"Mutated crystal?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart, what a mutant crystal.

"It must be fake news," even the old liar can think of this, but the key to the problem is, "But money can move people's hearts."

Qu Jianlei was a little depressed at first, and then he reacted, isn't this the reason why I bought the crystal?

"Did they tell me what kind of crystals they are?"

"No," the old liar shook his head, then said seriously, "I guess they might want to hook that silly Qu."

"The bounty for silly Qu has now risen to two thousand, mainly because that guy also likes mutant crystals."

"Who doesn't like mutant crystals?" Qu Jianlei asked back indifferently, and then said.

"Please help me find out where the crystals of the alien snow silk ape are... I will buy them at a high price."

"Alien snow silk ape?" Spencer raised his eyebrows, "Only this one, or all B-level crystals?"

"Mainly the alien snow silk ape," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "Others...it depends on the specific situation."

The old liar thought for a while, and then asked again, "Will we be a little ostentatious in this way?"

If someone suspects that you are silly Qu, we may experience unexpected disasters.

"Just spread the word," Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, "There is a story behind the alien snow ape, it would be abnormal if I don't care."

He was absolutely right. On the third day, Geng Shougong came to the door, "Alien snow ape crystal... have you reached a bottleneck?"

Most people don't need mutant crystals, but this kind of crystal is an exception - maintenance technicians can use it!

Snow ape crystals can effectively improve the maintenance technician's feel and enhance stability.

Qu Jianlei didn't know this knowledge before, and it was just the information he got from the book recently.

As for how to use crystals to improve the feel and enhance stability, the book didn't say it clearly - those who understand will understand.

So Qu Jianlei was not afraid to spread the word directly. As a maintenance technician, it would be abnormal if he didn't react in this situation, right?

Geng Shougong came directly to the door, which means that many people have sharp eyes and know what he wants.

"It may not be a bottleneck," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "but since the crystal has appeared, shouldn't I try it?"

"Indeed," Geng Shougong nodded in agreement, "but do you have enough money?"

"Money is something that can always be solved if you think about it," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It's nothing more than seven or eight thousand silver dollars."

He actually bought a B-level crystal in the Hongzi settlement area for five thousand silver dollars each, and now he said a little more.

"Seven or eight thousand silver dollars, what are you thinking?" Geng Shougong suddenly opened his eyes wide, "How about at least twelve thousand?"

Qu Jianlei was also stunned when he heard this, "Is it so expensive?"

"Of course," Geng Shougong looked at him with both anger and amusement.

"Ordinary B-level crystals are indeed seven or eight thousand, but the crystals of the snow ape are something that ordinary people can use."

"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded. This logic is too simple, "I thought too little."

Geng Shougong looked around and lowered his voice, "Do you really want the snow ape crystal? Do you have enough money?"

"We can get some money together," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "I still have some discount items... Do you have this crystal?"

For him now, money is really not a big problem.

Although he is not rich, he can earn or rob money if he loses it, but crystals are hard to come by.

"I can help you a little," Geng Shougong's eyes flickered a little, "The method of using crystals... Can you sell it?"

This is the real purpose of his hasty coming.

Everyone knows that the crystal of the Snow Silk Ape is good for maintenance technicians, but few people know how to use it.

Geng Shougong's status is not low, but even he doesn't know how to use this thing.

This question really surprised Qu Jianlei, but thinking about it again, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

So he shook his head very simply, "Sorry, I don't know how to do it either. I'll find someone to teach me after I buy the crystal."

"You don't know how to do it?" Geng Shougong was really angry and funny. How stupid must I be to believe you?

Is it possible to spend such a big price to buy something that I don't know when to use it?

And this kind of use method is not something you can learn if you want to learn it - even Geng Shougong can't get it.

But if the other party doesn't want to say it, he can't force it. The forces that know this method are not something that ordinary people can provoke.

So he could only say, "Then just pretend I didn't ask."

"Wait," Qu Jianlei would not give up so easily, "I heard you mean, do you know where there are crystals?"

He deliberately did not emphasize "Snow Silk Ape" because he wanted to know what the other party was up to.

"If you want to buy crystals, go to the main settlement," Geng Shougong answered very straightforwardly, "There are a lot of crystals there."

After a pause, he added, "But it's very expensive, don't say I didn't remind you."

"I also know that there are a lot of crystals in the main settlement," Qu Jianlei said disapprovingly, "But there are a lot of disgusting people there."

Geng Shougong heard that this person knew everything, so he said very straightforwardly, "I can introduce you to two reliable people."

"Really?" Qu Jianlei looked him up and down, his eyes full of suspicion, "The method of using crystals... I really don't understand."

"You are going too far," Geng Shougong rubbed his temple in distress, "You don't give me anything, why should I help you?"

I like exchanges based on interests! Qu Jianlei smiled, "Besides using the crystallization method...what else do you need?"

Want to throw money at me? Geng Shougong heard it clearly, "I'm not short of money."

He said this proudly. In fact, he really is not short of money. It can't be said that he is very rich, but he is really not short of money.

Qu Jianlei didn't feel very surprised. He emphasized again, "I'm asking, what else do you need?"

Geng Shougong thought about it and asked a question, "You have read a lot of mechanical journals. Can you write a deep article yourself?"

"Submitting to a journal?" Qu Jianlei was happy to hear this. Is this kind of thing still a problem for him?

When he was on Blue Star, he did a lot of such things. It's not unfamiliar at all.

Now submitting in the wasteland, he doesn't think it's a problem.

Especially since Xiaohu has just integrated the data here, it is not a problem to automatically generate some manuscripts.

Seriously, he is a little curious, "If my manuscript is too outstanding, there will be trouble. Aren't you worried?"

——————

Chapter 98 Anatomy? (Second update to congratulate Bangzige 10/10)

Faced with Qu Jianlei's question, Geng Shougong answered without hesitation.

"I'm just worried that your writing is not outstanding enough... As long as it is outstanding, I can help you no matter how much!"

Qu Jianlei looked at him thoughtfully, "You want some achievements?"

Geng Shougong certainly wanted achievements, he did not hide this, "Just write, it's all Zhou Liu's achievements."

"Not very interested," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "I'm not a member of Zhou Liu."

Geng Shougong was not angry, but asked happily, "Can you really write something?"

If you write something here, I'm afraid you will face more than just slicing, right? Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes.

"Can you tell me about the review standards of this journal? I also want to know about the publication."

Geng Shougong looked at him puzzledly, "You don't know?"

"Of course I don't know," Qu Jianlei's eyes were full of doubts, "Should I know?"

Not knowing is allowed! Geng Shougong really understands this point.

Not to mention outsiders, even insiders may not understand the review and publication, what are the procedures.

He rubbed his forehead and organized his words, "Actually, it's good not to know, just concentrate on writing your manuscript."

"I'm not interested in writing for the time being," Qu Jianlei refused flatly, "Because I don't know enough."

Geng Shougong understood that this guy didn't know enough, but was purely psychologically repulsive.

So he hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then there's no need to write, life goes on as usual."

Four months later, spring came and flowers bloomed, and Zhou Liu jumped from severe winter to early summer.

During this period, Qu Jianlei went out hunting twice, just to make a living.

He never did mechanical maintenance again, not because he didn't want to do it, but simply because his price was too high.

Since spring has come, Qu Jianlei will go out for some activities.

Zhou Liu is not a bad place, but he thinks there should be a higher sky, which is worth exploring.

The main reason is that this place is no longer absolutely safe, and there is always a safer place to explore.

Then let's go to the main settlement. Qu Jianlei has been in this world for eight years and has never seen the main settlement.

But at the beginning of spring, the road is not easy to walk, so you have to wait a little.

In a blink of an eye, it was midsummer. Qu Jianlei had already finished reading the books and didn't want to wait any longer, so he decided to leave with Hua Xiezi.

Spencer had been released, while Cindy and Claire both had settlement status.

Both wanted to follow them, but there was no point in staying.

But Qu Jianlei always remembered Xiaojing and Crack in his mind - the two could have survived.

So he warned them seriously, "Your identities outside the city have not been exposed, so go live in the city for a while."

The living conditions of Cindy and her daughter have improved a lot, especially Claire, who is already a little overlord outside the city.

She did not show off her resident status, because she was young, and she had an overclocking oscillation dagger and a laser pistol.

It can be seen from one look that she is a very difficult person to mess with, and she is a person who will not suffer any loss.

At the same time, she can help introduce business to the panda boss. Outside the city, few teenagers dare to mess with her.

But the good thing is that although she is domineering, she does not like to bully the weak, and she is also a child king outside the city.

Seeing Qu Jianlei's firm attitude, Cindy took the initiative to ask, "Are you coming back?"

"If nothing unexpected happens," Qu Jianlei didn't dare to say it, "Come back before winter."

Cindy's eyes were not bad, she guessed that these two people had a big secret, "Do you want to buy a house in the city?"

"Buy one," Qu Jianlei took out another 500 silver dollars, "Put it in your name."

The houses in the settlement are not cheap, not to mention the mansions, and the houses in a better location will cost more than 300 silver dollars.

However, in comparison, the cost of living in the settlement is higher.

Qu Jianlei is not poor and generous, but he doesn't need to keep too many silver dollars of Zhou Liu.

If he can come back here again, he won't have to worry about making money. If he can't come back, the silver dollars will easily expose his identity.

He originally brought the mother and daughter with him to find a helper, but later found that without their cover, his identity would probably be exposed.

Qu Jianlei has always been generous to those who have helped him.

Cindy's eyes became more complicated, "What if you don't come back this winter?"

"Wait until next winter," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "You can decide what to do."

"Then these silver dollars..." Cindy wanted to confirm it one last time.

Qu Jianlei shook his head indifferently, "If we don't come back, then they will naturally belong to you two."

Hua Xiezi heard this and also spoke out, "Go to the city, don't leave the city before winter... You should leave first."

She knew how much trouble Heitian had caused because of the cracks and Xiaojing's death, and believed that this was a hurdle he couldn't get over.

"Okay," Cindy nodded when she heard this, and she didn't say anything polite.

She emphasized a point, "Please rest assured, Claire and I have never seen you two."

Hua Xiezi smiled when he heard this, "It's not a big deal, just don't say it casually."

Early the next morning, Cindy took her daughter and went into the city in a different direction.

Claire was still a little confused, "Mom, why did you say you haven't seen the eldest and the second sister?"

"They are in trouble," Cindy, who is very attentive to her daughter's training, explained carefully, "We must keep our mouths shut."

"If there is trouble... then kill them!" Claire said without hesitation, "They need help."

"That's not your turn," Cindy replied unhappily. What has my daughter become?

"You think you can help someone who even the panda boss is afraid of?"

Claire was speechless, but after a pause, she couldn't help but argue, "One more person always means more strength."

"We are a burden," Cindy saw it clearly, "I guess the yellow scorpion might be a burden, can you be better than the second sister?"

Claire stopped talking immediately after hearing this. Her idol is not Qu Jianlei, but Flower Scorpion.

She would be satisfied if she could become an elite adventurer like her second sister - at least this is her goal for now.

In the courtyard, Flower Scorpion was also talking to Qu Jianlei, "Are you worried that the other party will catch up with you?"

"We have to be on guard," Qu Jianlei replied with a dark face, "You can't imagine how cold-blooded they are."

Flower Scorpion hesitated for a while, but still asked aloud, "How did you provoke them?"

Qu Jianlei also hesitated for a while before answering, "The first generation of genetic modification drugs... I survived."

"Genetic modification drugs... are there really such things?" Flower Scorpion was shocked when she heard this, "What does it mean to survive?"

Although she is an elite adventurer, she only has a vague understanding of the relevant information.

"It was originally poison," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "need to adjust the potion to neutralize it...even so, few people can survive."

"You survived without neutralizing it..." Hua Xiezi understood.

But because she understood, she didn't dare to ask, and spoke for a long time, "Like the Ultimate Warrior?"

She also remembered the two Ultimate Warriors she met clearly - no one could forget.

"I'm not sure if those two are genetic warriors," Qu Jianlei sighed lightly, "Even if they are, they didn't use the first generation of potions."

Hua Xiezi took another breath, "In other words, they want to catch you for dissection?"

"I don't know why they want to catch me," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "but I'm not without background."

He now trusts Hua Xiezi quite a bit, but human hearts cannot stand the test, and it is necessary to brag about it appropriately.

"You must have a background," Hua Xiezi has no doubt about this. She was once captured by the Sai family and knows what happened very well.

If she says that the silly Qu was a lucky orphan at the time, she believes it.

But she absolutely didn't believe that the surviving fool Qu could have the current strength of Heitian by chance.

Now she has practiced Tai Chi Thirteen Swords so well, and knows that this is not something that a person can make up out of thin air.

Besides, is the boss Heitian really stupid? She can't see it at all.

"Anyway, this matter is not over," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "When I become stronger, I must get back at it."

Hua Xiezi was silent. She wanted to ask: Can't you ask for help from the forces behind you?

However, things can't be done that way. She has learned a lot of secrets today. Too much is as bad as too little.

And these secrets are really frightening.

She thought again and again before asking, "If I practice like you, can I become so powerful?"

Qu Jianlei glanced at her indifferently, "The water here is too deep. Even if you put a hundred or eighty people in, you won't be able to make a splash."

"I'm not afraid of being put in," Hua Xiezi answered without hesitation, "I'm just afraid that I'm not strong enough."

Qu Jianlei was not surprised by this answer. Nearly two years of contact was enough for him to understand her character.

But he still said, "But most people fell on the road to becoming stronger. This road is not as easy as you think."

"I don't care," Hua Xiezi had already thought about it, "How many adventurers died of old age?"

This makes sense, but Qu Jianlei still shook his head, "The law is not easily passed on, you have to understand this, take your time."

He didn't know whether there was any spatial intersection between this place and Blue Star. Before figuring it out, he would never easily teach the skills.

"I understand," Hua Xiezi nodded. She knew very well how rare it was to be able to strengthen herself, and she was a little anxious.

But she still felt regretful, "It's mainly because I'm too weak to cooperate with you in the battle."

"Don't even think about cooperation," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said very straightforwardly, "When the real battle comes, just run away."

Hua Xiezi suddenly felt a little stuffy in her chest. Although I'm a little weaker, I'm not that bad, right?

"At least I can drive to pick you up."

Qu Jianlei glanced at her indifferently, "If you meet those two ultimate warriors...what are your chances of winning?"

(Finally, I've paid back the gold cuteness of the Korean brother, but fortunately there is no diamond cuteness...)
