Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 464 - 336: Relentless Yin Soul

"Are you free?" Qu Jianlei sized up the other person, yes, she was indeed wearing the crew uniform!

Was it a special service provided by the high-end spaceship? Qu Jianlei was not sure, after all, this was only his second time on a spaceship.

But whether it was a special service or not, he had no interest.

So he asked back, "Can you move freely during take-off?"

The female flight attendant smiled slightly, "Our spaceship is of the latest grade, movement isn’t affected during take-off and landing."

She wasn’t surprised by this question; they were transporting a group of Pioneers this time. Although they had high cultivation levels, they may not have experienced luxurious lifestyles.

The female flight attendant pointed in a direction, "That gentleman wants to have a chat with you."

Qu Jianlei looked in the direction she pointed, where a burly middle-aged man with a B-level cultivation sat.

Seeing him look over, the middle-aged man grinned at him in a very friendly manner.

An official investigation team member! Qu Jianlei realized, he had watched from the sidelines during his initial interrogation.

The inquiry by the investigation team only lasted five minutes, one could say it was very amicable.

It is known that even Mu Guoguo, as the leader of Blazing Fire, was questioned for three hours, and Mu Huahua’s interrogation exceeded two hours.

But what impressed Qu Jianlei the most was a question, "Since you have amnesia, are you interested in working for the Empire?"

This work was not about assisting in pioneer activities, but the Empire wanting to recruit him due to his B-level electromagnetic attribute.

Qu Jianlei remained very calm at that time.

"It would be my honor to work for the Empire, but I want to first find out... who caused me such harm."

That was a polite refusal, and they didn’t bother him again, but unexpectedly, they followed him onto the spaceship.

Qu Jianlei was actually quite curious, the investigation results hadn’t been released, yet this person was to return already, for reasons unknown to him.

However, this was not important to him, so he just nodded slightly at the man and continued looking out the window.

The middle-aged man’s eyes revealed a touch of resentment: This kid is quite arrogant.

His dissatisfaction was noticed by someone else, a B-level Warrior from the Black Rain.

After a while, the female flight attendant approached Qu Jianlei again, "Sir, there’s a person named Fangcao who wishes to speak with you."

Qu Jianlei had her take him over, and saw Black Rain’s deputy head lying in a life support pod, only exposing her head.

Seeing him arrive, Fangcao nodded, "Did you reject the recruitment by the Emergency Affairs Department?"

"I don’t know what that department is," Qu Jianlei replied earnestly, "Declining is normal, right? Just because they recruit me, must I agree?"

Fangcao was silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "Anyway, those guys are quite annoying, be careful in the future."

Then she tilted her head, looking at a box on the table, "There is something I prepared for you, have a look."

Qu Jianlei was not polite, and opened the box, finding two Identity Tokens, along with three stacks of Energy Block Silver Notes.

Each stack had a hundred notes, all were bearer certificates.

One stack had a value of ten thousand, the remaining two were a thousand each.

So these 1.2 million worth of Energy Block Silver Notes, are they my reward?

Seeing his unimpressed smile, Fangcao sighed softly, "There are also two Treasure Chest Keys, which recognize the key, not the person."

"Inside are cultivation resources and some secret manuals... If you find it insufficient, contact me again."

This was more like it, Qu Jianlei slightly nodded.

Two identities and 1.2 million in silver notes weren’t too little, but compared to what he did, it was indeed a bit lacking.

If they thought this was enough, he wouldn’t say anything, but in the future... there would be no more opportunities.

With some cultivation resources, it was quite justifiable... even though he didn’t know how much those resources actually were.

Anyway, since the Celestial Level Team was involved, it shouldn’t be too bad, right? If it’s just a little, it’d be better to add more silver notes.

A while ago, Fangcao couldn’t come up with these; it was probably brought by personnel supplemented from the Empire.

After pondering for a while, he finally asked, "Shouldn’t this be given to me after disembarking?"

Fangcao replied seriously, "I saw that the Emergency Affairs Department people came looking for you again, after disembarking, leave quickly."

Qu Jianlei was silent for a while, then raised his hand and cupped his fist, "Thank you for your reminder, Master Fangcao."

Fangcao gave a wry smile, "Forget it, don’t mind me, just remember to run fast."

Qu Jianlei returned to his seat, and hadn’t sat for two minutes when the female flight attendant came again.

"This gentleman, a person named Spirit Fox has invited you over for a chat."

Like Fangcao, Spirit Fox had an independent cabin and personal bathroom on the spaceship.

There was no life support pod in his room, making it appear more spacious.

As Qu Jianlei pushed the door open, Spirit Fox was seated on the sofa, sipping a glass of wine with his one arm.

Seeing him enter, Qian Duoduo’s leader nodded slightly, "Have a seat, care for a drink?"

"No, thanks," Qu Jianlei shook his head, then spoke deeply, "What brings you to seek me, Master?"

"The government people have been harassing you again, right?" Spirit Fox took a sip of his drink and spoke casually.

"Fangcao is getting restless, calling for you to join the discussion... Hehe, she has such a limited perspective."

Even though he’s just the leader of a Profound-level Team, he really doesn’t think much of a Celestial Level A-class member.

Qu Jianlei sat down by the sofa, "In the jianghu, we often have no choice. It’s something I understand."

Hearing this, Spirit Fox was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Your words are always so interesting. Don’t go back, just stay here."

Qu Jianlei hesitated. While he didn’t doubt Spirit Fox’s intentions, staying here... was it really okay?

"Lord Spirit Fox, you need to recuperate."

"Your place is much worse than mine," Spirit Fox straightforwardly pointed out. On this spaceship, A-level members all have their own rooms.

But for those below A-level, having a private room is difficult; it’s not just about paying more.

Flying and not flying... can they be the same? It’s a natural barrier.

But Spirit Fox’s intentions were not only about taking care. He stated his point plainly.

"Staying here is also so certain people open their eyes... some people can be intimidated, but some shouldn’t be provoked."

Qu Jianlei once again glanced around the cabin. It’s not a big space, about the size of a soft sleeper cabin on Divine Land.

But though it’s small, it has all the essentials and is private, much better than the passenger cabin he was in.

So this is fine, Qu Jianlei didn’t hesitate.

As for two grown men sharing a room, he thought it was no problem. Someone who can sleep in a pit outdoors doesn’t mind this.

Over a day later, they began warping. The small cabin didn’t have a Life Support Pod, so Qu Jianlei pretended to eat a few tubes of Nutrient Injection.

Spirit Fox didn’t care about his reaction. In his view, it’s not strange at all if Black Heaven doesn’t eat Nutrient Injections.

After the warp ended, it took over another day for the fleet to arrive in front of a beautiful blue-green planet.

Qu Jianlei had already learned that the journey’s endpoint wasn’t Hope No.3 Star, but Star of Hope.

In other words, Youyou and the others still needed to transfer to reach Hope No.3 Star.

But to Qu Jianlei, it didn’t matter. He wasn’t set on reaching a specific planet.

His demands were simple: leave Garbage Star, obtain a suitable identity, and find a habitable planet to live on.

Now his goals were almost achievable. The blue-green planet appeared quite pleasing.

The spaceships entered the spaceport in line, and Qu Jianlei’s ship queued to land.

The portholes were already opened after the warp ended. As they entered the spaceport, Qu Jianlei looked outside again.

As he watched, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression grew serious.

Spirit Fox noticed his reaction and curiously looked outside, then was also taken aback.

On a distant spaceship, arriving passengers were leaving, but there stood about seven or eight people in black uniforms.

"Imperial Military Police?" Spirit Fox immediately recognized the origin of the black uniforms. "Are they arresting people at the spaceport?"

He then recognized the person being arrested. "That is... isn’t that the Fourth Master’s lover?"

His eyesight wasn’t bad, but he didn’t have a strong impression of Youyou, so it took a moment to recognize her.

"Damn," Qu Jianlei muttered softly, "still not over, huh?"

"There are our members nearby," Spirit Fox was enthusiastic and immediately took out a communicator. "Let me ask."

After a few words, he put down the communicator, his expression becoming solemn. "It’s bad, it’s Military Police Third Department."

Is the Third Department difficult to deal with? Qu Jianlei was a bit puzzled. Shouldn’t the First and Second Departments be tougher?

Spirit Fox saw his look and knew this guy probably was clueless—or maybe suffering from amnesia, so he explained briefly.

The First Department targets high-ranking military officials, the Second deals with high-cultivation elites, and even A-levels might not need their intervention.

So the Third Department is also difficult to handle. They mainly target military collaborators or extreme degenerates.

With Youyou’s B-level Cultivation Level, the Third Department dealing with her was seriously grave—top-level handling.

At this point, Spirit Fox also realized, so he probed, "You’re close to this woman?"

"Not really, I have a friend who’s close to her," Qu Jianlei replied calmly.

After a pause, he continued, "If you could keep an eye on further developments, I’d be grateful."

Having a friend... Spirit Fox couldn’t possibly miss the implication of such words.

Still, he didn’t find it insincere and had his own interpretation of "sincerity."

The performance suggested a desire to keep friends out of any trouble, so he gave a slight smile.

"Further developments... I can’t promise anything, but I’ll keep an eye out."

"The problem now is that there are certain things I need to clarify with you..."

At this point, Spirit Fox raised his hand, tossing a drink onto the surveillance camera overhead.
