Jamaari making such a promise was already quite remarkable.

Qu Jianlei naturally wouldn't continue to press; everything should be within limits, going too far would be bad.

He wanted to see those attribute Cultivation Techniques, mainly to further improve the Nameless Qi Refining Technique. A foundational idea would be enough.

However, Jamaari had another requirement, which was that he must accept the position of "Inspection Bureau Mechanical Maintenance Consultant".

This was a prerequisite, otherwise, all talks were off; the Inspection Bureau couldn't provide these conveniences to unrelated individuals.

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and eventually agreed, but he also reiterated one point: he certainly wouldn't work regular hours.

Next was the issue of identity; he chose to continue using the name Jian Lei.

Jamaari had already prepared for this, surprisingly taking out Jian Lei's identification immediately.

It was a temporary identification, but a photograph was still needed, so Qu Jianlei went to Houjing for the photo.

Then Jamaari completed the identification on the spot.

The Inspection Bureau's temporary identification made entering and exiting Central City no problem; one could supplement it with a certificate after entering the city.

However, Qu Jianlei wasn't in a hurry to leave, citing the difficulty of traveling in winter; he wanted to wait until spring.

Jamaari was completely speechless, feeling that this young man was doing it intentionally, so he turned and left.

Qu Jianlei wasn't actually being pretentious; the key was the division of assets with Bentley and Flower Scorpion.

The recent battle with Tanaka Yoshi yielded considerable rewards.

Nearly four hundred thousand silver notes, seven kilograms of gold, nine B-level crystals, and various rare materials, etc.

According to Qu Jianlei's thinking, he wanted to retain most of the wealth because Central City... held too many uncertainties.

As for reluctance, he generally wouldn't consider it; otherwise, he wouldn't have left so many supplies in other gathering areas.

To him, a sense of security was most important; as long as he could develop steadily in one place, making money was nothing.

However, Bentley strongly opposed this, even though he was very grateful for Qu Jianlei's trust.

He believed that in the battle with Tanaka Yoshi, although everyone contributed, fundamentally, Qu Jianlei played the biggest role.

If it weren't for the cultivation method he calculated, their side wouldn't have been able to withstand the attacks from Jamaari and Xiao Qin.

Later, Jamaari's attitude transformed largely due to these cultivation techniques.

Bentley thought the spoils should all belong to Qu Jianlei; he and Flower Scorpion were already content with obtaining cultivation techniques.

Anyway, both of them weren't short of money and supplies.

In Bentley's view, with the endorsement of the Inspection Bureau, Qu Jianlei was cautious enough not to encounter too much trouble in Central City.

But living well in Central City wasn't easy, so it was better to carry more wealth.

The three of them kept pushing things back and forth, and finally, Bentley and Flower Scorpion reluctantly accepted two hundred thousand silver notes and two kilograms of gold.

They refused to take any other items, no matter what was said.

Shortly after spring began, a slightly chubby young woman named Xiao Qin arrived; she was there to take Qu Jianlei to Central City.

This time, Bentley and Flower Scorpion didn't see him off; it was Dai Xingyan who took people and drove him all the way to Taikoo.

Dai Xingyan showed no surprise at Qu Jianlei going to Central City.

She believed that Jian Lei should belong there, even giving him a list, hoping he could help procure some supplies.

Dai Xingyan was genuinely curious about what identity he would use to go to Central City.

However, Qu Jianlei did not reveal his identification because... the Inspection Bureau seeking him in Houjing was very discreet.

He had to consider the reputation of the Inspection Bureau, and the safety of himself and his two companions was also very important, so he merely smiled.

The vehicle reached the outskirts of Taikoo rather than entering the city area, turning onto a narrow path instead.

Continuing forward for over a hundred kilometers, they encountered a solitary mountain ahead, resembling a volcano.

It took another two hours to reach the base of the mountain, where a checkpoint appeared.

Dai Xingyan brought Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin to about four or five meters from the checkpoint, stopped the car, and proceeded no further.

Then, carrying large backpacks, the two approached the checkpoint and presented their identification.

The guard took a glance and waved them through.

By the roadside were idle motorcycles; Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin each took one and rode onward.

Two kilometers further was a brightly lit cave.

After entering the cave and traveling approximately thirty kilometers more, the scene suddenly opened up.

It was a vast and level plaza, approximately one square kilometer in size, with the crucial aspect being the visible sky up above.

In the center of the plaza was a flat oval-shaped object, with a diameter exceeding one hundred fifty meters and a height of over forty meters.

Upon entering the plaza, there was another checkpoint guarded by armed soldiers.

The two parked their motorcycles, walked towards the soldiers, and presented their identification.

The soldiers examined it closely, then raised their arms horizontally in front of their chests in salute, "Greetings, officer!"

Their certificates were of high rank, with a designated driver arriving to transport them and their luggage toward the oval object.

Qu Jianlei had already guessed that this should be a flying device, but since Xiao Qin didn't explain, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

When they arrived, a cabin door opened below the oval object, a retractable gangway slowly descended to the ground.

The two ascended the gangway, Xiao Qin leading Qu Jianlei through, arriving at a spacious cabin.

Unexpectedly, the cabin had individual partitions, Qu Jianlei looking on with a surprised expression.
