Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 429 - 301: Spirit Fox’s Doubts

Help with tactical coordination? Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?"

If he remembered correctly, the encounters between Star Thieves and Pioneer Teams happened too often. Among the A-levels, they can basically be recognized the moment they make a move.

The attribute alone can already limit the guessing range, and besides, many warriors display quite obvious personal traits when they act.

"My personal style isn’t obvious," Spirit Fox replied with indifference, "Besides, they all know I was injured."

Qu Jianlei frowned, "What if you’re recognized? A perfectly good secret card will lose its element of surprise."

Spirit Fox still seemed a bit indifferent; the cultivation of a warrior’s personal style is actually related to certain conditions.

He believed he had come into contact with many types of experts and had studied many Gold Attribute techniques, making his skills relatively comprehensive.

The so-called personal style is actually a lack of comprehensiveness, or simply an obsession with a certain school of thought.

Spirit Fox’s family conditions were very good, but he personally liked adventure. He didn’t think pretending to be another Gold Attribute would get him recognized.

However, Black Heaven made a valid point, and he nodded in agreement, "True, I’ll just assist in the dark."

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "That’s not it, suddenly having an A-level Gold Attribute appear could unbalance the situation."

"It doesn’t matter," Spirit Fox answered nonchalantly, "I can be B-level... suppressing energy is easy."

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but exclaim, "You can suppress your energy?"

"It’s not difficult," Spirit Fox replied indifferently, "It’s just that most people don’t research this, so their methods aren’t comprehensive enough."

Qu Jianlei could tell Qian Duoduo’s leader had a hint of arrogance, not taking others seriously.

Although he didn’t want to argue, he couldn’t help but say, "Comprehensive methods are a style in themselves."

Spirit Fox was stunned by this and then burst into laughter, "Ha, true enough, Black Heaven, you’re quite interesting."

Qu Jianlei chuckled, "I argue reflexively, but the idea of energy suppression is quite intriguing."

Spirit Fox gave him a thoughtful look, "Do you want to learn? It’s not impossible."

"No need to trouble yourself," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "I don’t think it’s necessary, I was only worried about being looked down upon."

Spirit Fox chuckled, feeling Black Heaven’s bones were also quite proud.

Plus, he didn’t seem to think highly of energy suppression methods either, but... that seemed normal, right?

Anyway, he didn’t lack experience dealing with affluent scions; they were seldom rattled, usually owing to their family conditions.

So he forcibly stuffed the box into the other’s hands, "You discuss with Pan Yifu first, I don’t like taking gifts back."

Qu Jianlei was genuinely curious about what was in the box, that Spirit Fox was insistent he take it, so... reluctantly accept it?

After pocketing the box, he turned to find Mu Huahua, "Do you know what this is?"

"Qi Recovery Pill?" Mu Huahua’s eyes lit up immediately, even a bit fervently, "You actually have such a treasure?"

Qu Jianlei could only smile wryly; as soon as he heard the name, he knew the general purpose of the pill.

But he still asked, "How exactly does this thing replenish qi?"

Mu Huahua gave him a peculiar look, "You don’t even remember this?"

Qu Jianlei cast her a bland glance, not speaking, but the meaning was clear—do you really need to ask so much?

Mu Huahua didn’t think too much, "A bottle of Qi Recovery Pills is enough for a B-level warrior to recover half of their Inner Breath."

So, does that mean these six bottles of elixir are enough to fully replenish three B-level warriors?

Qu Jianlei was even more surprised, "It’s rare that Spirit Fox still has such things."

"Indeed," Mu Huahua nodded deeply in agreement, "Enough to make people fight over them."

She paused before sighing, "It’s only Qian Duoduo; how could anyone else still have such treasures?"

Holding back, she spoke again, "Why did he give this to you?"

Listening to Vice Leader Mu running on, Qu Jianlei felt she was already quite restrained not to reach out and grab them.

He shook his head, answering casually, "He hopes I can coordinate with Pan Yifu to take down another military station."

Mu Huahua wasn’t surprised by the answer; she knew Qu Jianlei had always planned this, even the field hospital had quite a few waiting.

What puzzled her was, "Wasn’t it said the conditions weren’t ripe, and Pan Yifu wasn’t really interested?"

Qu Jianlei pointed at the box, "Well, this is Spirit Fox’s offer... never mind, I’ll get in touch with Master Pan."

When Pan Yifu received the call, he initially thought there was news from Wen Xin.

Upon hearing about taking another military station, he immediately lost interest, stating the timing wasn’t right.

Qu Jianlei knew the guy was rather self-willed, so he put forward an offer, "Nine Qi Recovery Pills, how about it?"

"Qi Recovery Pills?" Pan Yifu perked up, "Are they the kind of Qi Recovery Pills I’m thinking of?"

"Should be," Qu Jianlei questioned suspiciously, "Is there another kind of Qi Recovery Pill?"

Pan Yifu asked seriously, "A-level Qi Recovery Pills or B-level ones?"

"A-level?" Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Do you think Zarif still has that kind of stuff now?"

He had just heard that Qi Recovery Pills have different grades, but he responded naturally.

The Spirit Fox had given pills where it took three to replenish half the Qi, clearly B-level Qi Recovery Pills.

Pan Yifu wasn’t surprised; he just asked irritably, "You had Qi Recovery Pills and still used my crystals last time?"

Qu Jianlei wasn’t interested in explaining the origin of the Qi Recovery Pills as he felt it unnecessary.

"Last time you asked me for help, so you covered the costs. This time I’m asking for cooperation... so, are you in or not?"

"Oh, you’re getting testy?" Pan Yifu was a bit surprised, "Nine aren’t enough; eighteen it is!"

I only have eighteen in total, Qu Jianlei snorted, "Then we have nothing to discuss... I even found movers for you."

Pan Yifu was tempted, "Movers... How many did you find?"

"About twenty," Qu Jianlei answered solemnly, "Plus two B-level helpers, Earth Attribute and Gold Attribute."

"Earth Attribute?" Pan Yifu became even more interested.

His desire to find Wen Xin was not only because of her strength but also because he was too fragile and needed the protection of Rock Armor.

"B-level... better than nothing, but can’t spare a few more Qi Recovery Pills?"

"That’s all there is," Qu Jianlei replied bluntly, "Last time you collected half-used crystals, weren’t they rare too?"

Pan Yifu snorted, responding unhappily, "If I had known you had Qi Recovery Pills, I wouldn’t have let you use the crystals."

"Alright, I’ll agree to it. I’ll give you news by this time tomorrow."

The next day, he really chose a military station, a bit larger than the last one.

Qu Jianlei led over twenty people on a journey. Though all were at least modified warriors, some were injured, so progress was slow.

By the time the team got close to their destination, it was the latter half of the night, and they had to stop about ten kilometers away from the station.

Then Qian Duoduo’s Earth Attribute B-level dug a hole for everyone to hide in until the next day’s nightfall.

Following that, both Qu Jianlei and Pan Yifu donned B-level Rock Armor, offering a degree of defense.

The Spirit Fox disguised as a B-level Warrior was secretly surprised to see Black Heaven only gave Pan Yifu three bottles of pills.

He knew Black Heaven was arrogant, but didn’t expect him to openly withhold half of the pills right in front of him.

As the Spirit Fox contemplated, Black Heaven might have kept two bottles for himself... One bottle seemed more likely.

Unexpectedly, this guy really dared to withhold half, even more surprisingly, Pan Yifu just accepted it.

From what the Spirit Fox remembered, he was difficult to approach; even though he didn’t think highly of him, the man had a good opinion of himself.

He mentally gave Black Heaven a thumbs-up: you have skills.

The first to act was still Pan Yifu, opening with Flaming Meteor.

The military station reacted swiftly, numerous firing holes spewing fire tongues and blind bombardments.

This was the response method thought up by the Star Pirates; it might not be effective, but not responding was impossible.

They even hoped that the Earth Attribute A-level was absent—the Electromagnetic and Fire Attributes were really fragile.

Moreover, even if the Earth Attribute was present, probing with artillery would be advantageous to locate Pan Yifu and Black Heaven.

Artillery might not handle the Earth Attribute A-level, but these two shouldn’t be a problem.

However, Pan Yifu was sly, sending Flaming Meteor from afar, while having the Earth Attribute Warrior erect several Earth Walls.

He moved between different Earth Walls, sending three Flaming Meteors, followed by Fire Rain.

Star Pirate artillery often hit Earth Walls, which seemed a bit odd to some.

Yet, even if they kept attacking the Earth Walls, Fire Rain maintained a stable output, which was evidently the wrong target?

After stable output from Fire Rain, Qu Jianlei launched an attack, "Electromagnetic Interference~"

This trick conquered all; his all-frequency interference and rapidly shifting high-intensity magnetic fields were unsolvable for the Star Pirates.

The Spirit Fox, observing coldly, squinted slightly: Is this... B-level standard?

Though he was knowledgeable, he hadn’t witnessed A-level Electromagnetic Techniques.

But something felt odd to him: The Electromagnetic Technique was indeed powerful, but... could a B-level be this strong?

Qu Jianlei launched Electromagnetic Interference for a while, then, while the effect lingered, unleashed another group attack, "Silver Snake Dance~"

The Silver Snake Dance was weaker, with Thunder Dragon being the strongest, but using Thunder Dragon would easily reveal their position.

Moreover, there weren’t many electromagnetic weapons among the Star Pirates, indicating they’d prepared beforehand.

Qu Jianlei spotted this anomaly, preferring to use Silver Snake Dance.

Seeing lighting descend, the peculiar light in Spirit Fox’s eyes intensified.

He had seen B-level Electromagnetic Techniques, but such a fierce group attack felt more like an A-level technique.
