Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 941 - 809: Highly Insulting

For the military, deploying a camp-level warship is basically at war level.Typically, even for capturing a Supreme, a company-level warship is sufficient, as camp-level warships make quite a commotion.

If one is insufficient, two or even three can be deployed; basically, no Supreme can withstand three company-level warships.

But that’s ultimately just capturing a person, not actual warfare.

This time, dealing with Granny Jia, the military not only deployed four Supremes but also used two camp-level ships, showing how much they regard her.

However, Little Lake made a precise analysis, "Perhaps they think the old lady doesn’t have much time left, and fear she might retaliate recklessly."

This analysis is quite spot on—someone on the verge of death might just do something shocking.

"But... four Supremes!" Qu Jianlei’s face looked grim. How could they have such a short memory?

He managed to stay clear-headed despite his anger, "Where’s the Paranoid?"

"Haven’t seen him," Big Head Butterfly spun around twice, "There should be task division between them."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then raised his voice, "Bentley, come in!"

Bentley promptly entered. Despite his old age, his vision, thinking, and reactions were second to none.

Seeing the change in the leader’s expression as he entered, he guessed something might be up and readied himself to cooperate at any moment.

Qu Jianlei straightforwardly stated, "Inform everyone to pack up and prepare to leave; I’m heading out for a while..."

Bentley, already prepared mentally, still couldn’t help but pause, "What happened?"

"Something’s wrong with Granny Jia," Qu Jianlei answered openly, "Make more preparations."

"That old lady..." Listening to this, Bentley roughly guessed the situation.

He truly admired Granny Jia for handling matters alone, but he also had some criticisms. He could only sigh upon hearing this, "Alas~"

Watching Qu Jianlei’s figure disappearing into the night, the Fourth Master was a bit surprised, "This is..."

Bentley nodded to him, the team finally had another man, making him feel less awkward.

"There’s trouble elsewhere; we need to leave urgently."

"Leave urgently?" The Fourth Master paused for a moment then turned to head out, "I’ll make a simple handover and be right back."

Clearly, he was anxious, yet he could control his reaction, worthy of being a well-trained elite.

Moreover, his efficiency was very high; around four in the morning when Qu Jianlei returned, the Fourth Master arrived right after.

However, Bentley immediately noticed his slightly chaotic aura, "Had a fight?"

"Just stretched a bit," The Fourth Master replied casually, with no particular expression.

Xiao Qin actually spoke as well, "Didn’t bring out a few trusted people?"

This wasn’t her intentionally needling anyone; it’s just that she’s very detail-oriented.

Originally close to Jamaari, her interactions with Qu Jianlei stemmed from that association.

She knew well that for someone of high status, especially someone like him at the top, there’s no way he wouldn’t have loyal subordinates.

Otherwise, how much of a failure would he be?

If he had loyal subordinates, they’d surely face exclusion from the successor in the future. Not bringing them out seemed a bit heartless.

Yet, considering his relationship with Youyou, it didn’t quite seem like that.

Unable to hold back, she had to ask... doesn’t this guy have another reason?

The Fourth Master glanced at her. Her question seemed a bit rash, but not answering could lead to misunderstandings.

Fortunately, he had nothing to hide, "I’ve made arrangements. Following us... is too dangerous."

Xiao Qin paused in surprise at this answer, which was unexpected. Aren’t loyal subordinates meant to share life and death?

Plus, being with the leader doesn’t mean certain death.

But thinking more deeply, she understood; Jian Lei has too many secrets, once aboard this ship, there’s no turning back.

So the Fourth Master’s arrangement wasn’t necessarily wrong.

Qu Jianlei paid no attention to any of this, seeing everyone ready, "Let’s disperse and set off."

When they arrived, there were six of them using fake identities to board the starship, but now there are eight, with their own armed starship.

Upon seeing the starship, the Fourth Master slightly paused, "Isn’t this... the Omen Ship?"

"What?" Bentley’s face darkened upon hearing this; he and Jian Lei had handled the paperwork for this starship.

He was old, and while fearless in youth, he grew increasingly disdainful of inauspicious remarks as he aged.

In reality, he’s already frustrated with Jian Lei’s ’attracting bad luck nature’, and now an Omen Ship?

We’re going to make a living out in space, this kind of superstition... is extremely inappropriate, right?

Not just him, others paused upon hearing this, because in interstellar travel, nobody dismisses such concerns.

The Fourth Master, straightforward by nature, spoke without thinking. Realizing his words, he corrected himself, "Oops, mistaken identity, let’s board."

Nobody said more, but even Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

"Little Lake, what’s the story behind this Omen Ship?"

The Big Head Butterfly spun around two bricks, "Hmm, it’s rather incompatible... Star No. 4 has a total of eight famous Omen Ships."

According to the obtained data for comparison, the Omen Index of this starship ranks seventh, which is not particularly terrible.

However, of the other seven Omen Ships, four have been destroyed, one has been sealed, and two have been sold to other star systems for research.

So... it is the only existing and still normally operating one.

The unluckiness of this starship is mainly reflected in its bad luck; it encounters all sorts of misfortunes, having changed ownership three times within ten years.

Fortunately, except for the first incident, which resulted in a report of most crew members, the personnel damage was not extensive.

After the starship ascended, Xiang Xue was still a bit concerned. Influenced by her Earth Scholar dad, she was also concerned about omens.

"The starship that Granny Jia arranged is really out of order, isn’t it?"

Ordinary people shouldn’t call the Supreme by name directly, but within the little group, using "Granny" as a reference isn’t much of a problem.

Although Qu Jianlei grumbled in his heart, he still needed to cheer up the little group at this time, "Even she’s going to use this starship."

"As Awakened, let’s not be superstitious about these out-of-order statements... maybe we really got it wrong."

However, the young Claire didn’t believe in curses, and smilingly said, "Xiang Xue, you can check to see if there’s any mistake."

Xiang Xue rolled her eyes and replied irritably, "If you want to check, you check it yourself. I’m not touching these things."

Three days later, the starship made a jump, right to the star system of Star No. 2.

At the same moment, not far from the Military Region of Star No. 4, a tremendous fiery explosion occurred.

There were four points of explosion in total, with a considerable amount of explosives buried, resembling a munitions depot explosion.

The key is that the choices of these four locations are very intricate, jointly resulting in the destruction of two energy channels inside the military region.

The explosion caused casualties that were not very significant since not many people live near the military region.

However, the humiliation was too strong, not to mention the damage to the energy pipelines.

This news quickly spread to Star No. 2, and at this moment, Jia Shuqing was confronting four Supreme beings from Star No. 3.

Granny Jia usually doesn’t show off, but at crucial moments, she’s truly supported.

The Supreme supporter on this planet is only an old dean from Green Water Academy, but there are at least five Supreme beings supporting her from off-planet.

Among the four Supreme beings from Star No. 3, there’s even one who doesn’t speak much.

The Guardian Supreme of Star No. 2 is also pulling the bias, and the most fatal thing is that this planet’s military leans towards supporting Granny Jia.

The military internally won’t openly contradict each other, but advising two Camp-level warships not to move recklessly is also their responsibility.

——With such a big show of force, those who don’t know might think the Military Region of Star No. 2 is very incompetent.

It’s not because Granny Jia is particularly popular; she herself isn’t very good at socializing.

However, as a former prodigy, the number of people she has helped is truly numerous, and her casual assistance might have changed someone else’s life.

When the news of Star No. 4’s military region being bombed came, the four Supreme beings had confirmed it—this was revenge from Youyou!

Who rescued Youyou? It’s hard to say; there’s quite a possibility it was Panda.

But regardless of the situation, the way of rescue was actually done through opening confidential channels within the military, which shocked and angered the investigators.

——If this matter isn’t investigated thoroughly, wouldn’t everyone in the military region be unsafe?

Especially among those seeking to hunt down Youyou, the deaths of the Groundhog and the Poison Attribute A-level hit the military’s core!

Recently, Star No. 4 reported that the Xingye Group’s office was destroyed, and an A-level was wiped out.

The four Supreme beings have already investigated the matter and unanimously guessed that it’s very likely to be Youyou’s people taking revenge.

Now that Star No. 4’s military region has been bombed, causing minor damage but extreme humiliation.

They unanimously determined that this was the commotion created by Youyou and others, aiming to distract them.

If it were normal times, they might have already rushed to Star No. 4, but now, they’ve decided to firmly focus on Jia Shuqing.

The reason is simple: those who might have joined with Youyou could be Panda’s team, and the military personnel also don’t want to mess with that team.

Can the four Supreme beings from the Divine Text Association assault fail against the military’s four Supreme beings?

It is legitimate to follow Jia Shuqing’s thread to understand the situation and then decide the next step.

After all, Granny Jia is a Supreme birthed within the establishment; difficult to provoke, yet she is bound by rules and regulations.

Among the four Supreme beings, two are not from the military series, just practicing on Star No. 3 and invited to come and assist.

If they really have to deal with Panda’s team, these two are likely to decline—it wouldn’t be possible to risk their lives for a favor.

These four also act very cautiously, not only advancing and retreating together but also being escorted by elite military squads.

Upon knowing Star No. 4 had an incident, they again came to threaten Jia Shuqing, but after tangling all day, Granny Jia lazily refused to pay attention.

Seeing that nightfall approaches, they could only leave surveillance squads behind and leave unhappily.

However, just as they were three kilometers away from their dwelling, one Supreme’s expression suddenly changed.

"Watch out!"
