Xiao Qin had been secretly observing him, and couldn't help but express, "This is a luxury cabin."
"I think so too," Qu Jianlei nodded, but wondered inwardly, don't they need to buy tickets?
As it turns out, it's not that tickets aren't needed, it's just that people from the Inspection Bureau don't need to buy tickets.
About half an hour later, another middle-aged man entered the cabin, looking dignified and impressive.
He glanced around, spotted Xiao Qin, walked over, and greeted with a smile, "Beauty hu... hiss."
Staring at the silver ring on the other's hand, he took a sharp breath, slightly bowed, and turned to leave without a word.
"See that?" Xiao Qin looked at Qu Jianlei with pride, "That's how impressive people from the Inspection Bureau are."
Qu Jianlei was taken aback, and whispered, "As a mechanical repair consultant, will I also wear that silver ring in the future?"
"Probably... not," Xiao Qin thought for a moment, then shook her head, "It requires official staffing."
She knew that Inspector Jamaari had long wanted to recruit this person into the Inspection Bureau, but this person had always been resistant.
Do you regret it now?
Qu Jianlei nodded nonchalantly, "Oh, that's good."
Xiao Qin rolled her eyes in annoyance and snorted, "So stubborn."
Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered helplessly, "It's really not that, I don't like to be ostentatious, not wanting to attract attention at all."
Xiao Qin glanced at him, "I usually don't wear it either, it's only when on a mission that I wear it specifically."
"Really?" Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow in surprise, then thoughtfully nodded, "That's not bad."
Not bad indeed, but just for a bit of convenience, to bind oneself? Sorry, he really wasn't interested.
After more than two hours, an oval flying device appeared outside the porthole, descending vertically and slowly.
Then the shutter over the porthole began to lower, and a sweet voice was heard.
"This crew is about to take off. Please fasten your seatbelts and do not move around freely."
Qu Jianlei felt a bit disoriented, always feeling like he was on a plane on Blue Star.
He actually wanted to ask, would flying like this... not fear encountering flying mutant beasts?
However, in the end, he chose silence. To pretend to be from Central City, he must be careful not to let troubles arise from loose talk.
This flying device flew very steadily, almost without any noise, though the shutter over the porthole blocked the view outside.
After flying for about two hours, Xiao Qin next stirred and spoke up.
"Can you just sit there like that all the time?"
Qu Jianlei slowly finished his cultivation, opened his eyes, and replied in a deep voice, "In this environment, you can cultivate."
"Really..." Xiao Qin helplessly pursed her lips, "You're really making use of every second, aren't you? What a weirdo!"
The middle-aged man who had tried to flirt earlier shivered again upon hearing this conversation.
After another hour, the sweet voice announced that they had reached their destination and were descending.
The entire flight went without any incidents, not even the slightest turbulence.
Qu Jianlei felt that the technological level of this flying device was definitely not low, at least crushing Blue Star's flying devices.
So, does Central City really preserve all the technology from before the apocalypse?
The descent was quick, and about ten minutes after the announcement, the flying device landed, the shutter over the porthole opened, and the cabin door opened as well.
Qu Jianlei and other luxury cabin passengers got out first, and their carry-on luggage followed.
He looked around and found it was quite similar to Blue Star's airport, but the sky was rarely so blue, and the air quality was good.
A shuttle bus was already waiting ahead, and everyone boarded the bus, heading towards a distant building.
Exiting the airport required ticket validation, but Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin showed their proof, and the ticket inspector waved them through.
Xiao Qin parked a car in the airport's parking lot, surprisingly an off-road vehicle, shiny and full of urban vibes.
However, Qu Jianlei was more interested in the distant cityscape.
Not the kind with towering buildings everywhere, it felt more like those hollowed-out cities on Blue Star.
There were tall buildings, but not many. Most were four to six stories high, and buildings over ten stories were not common.
Xiao Qin found him observing the city from the car, so she leaned out and said, "Get in the car... feeling nostalgic?"
With her size, driving an off-road vehicle didn't seem out of place.
Qu Jianlei put his backpack onto the car, causing the entire off-road vehicle to sag slightly, and Xiao Qin instinctively glanced at the dashboard.
"Good heavens, over 800 kilograms... if you didn't have proof, just the transport cost would make your heart ache."
Qu Jianlei sat in the passenger seat and asked, "How much does it cost to buy an off-road vehicle like yours now?"
"Over three thousand," Xiao Qin answered casually.
"Ordinary vehicles are cheaper, but with the job nature of the Inspection Bureau... an off-road vehicle is just a basic requirement."

Qu Jianlei nonchalantly remarked, "You have quite the salary... in the Celestial District, it would cost you about two kilograms of gold."
"In Central City, gold is more expensive than you think," Xiao Qin replied offhandedly, "One kilogram of gold is enough."
Qu Jianlei fell silent, indeed, the Gathering Area below seemed to exist just for Central City to drain resources.
He lost the mood to speak as he thought about this, but Xiao Qin asked, "Are you going to the place with the property deed?"
"Thank you," Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, "I'll pay for the fare."
"Do I lack that bit of fuel money?" Xiao Qin snorted softly, "Just give me the address of the property deed."
