Chapter 508: Chapter 379: Returning the Favor – Targeted (Double-Length Chapter, Please Vote)

In Xiang Xue’s mind, five Crystals are worth five hundred thousand, so this is a one million gratitude gift, which is decent enough to present.

"Five Crystals," Qu Jianlei’s lips curved slightly, "actually, just having Crystals is enough."

In his understanding, an A-level should be two hundred thousand—no choice, that’s just the purchasing channel he has.

There was more than one person selling Crystals to him at a fair price, but he didn’t think the value should be measured this way.

Under normal circumstances, his purchase price was two hundred thousand.

As for the abnormal circumstances...once it’s abnormal, is there any reference value for the price?

He had even raided a Gorge warehouse, and once killed and seized treasures...can this be calculated like this?

When it comes down to it, Qu Jianlei at his core is particular, and he doesn’t consider others’ kindness to him as something he deserves.

These are stories for another time; to put it simply, he thought five Crystals were enough—this is a million.

Xiang Xue smiled slightly, "I also heard you need Crystals, since you like them so much, I’ll send you some more later."

"No need," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, decisively expressing.

"I know your life is valuable, but I just pulled a little, how could I shamelessly ask for more?"

However, Xiang Xue also had her reasoning, "Pulling a little is indeed simple, but figuring out when to pull is the most important part."

Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Interesting, alright, I admit you’re right, but what’s here is already enough."

"The main thing is, I can’t gather too many A-levels for now," Xiang Xue casually explained.

Then she asked, "The day after tomorrow, what are you doing with that woman?"

Qu Jianlei didn’t feel there was anything he couldn’t say, "Going to visit the Green Water Academy’s library, to see what’s different from the Old City."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xue was surprised, "Are you really going to stick to this job?"

She knew about Panda’s Cultivation Level, being dedicated to a job with only a 400 monthly salary... what are you, crazy?

Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "Love what you do... have you figured out the origin of the gunslinger yet?"

"There are some clues," Xiang Xue answered in a solemn voice, "not from the Hope Star Realm... are you changing the subject?"

"Then I won’t ask anymore," Qu Jianlei straightforwardly lowered his head and continued reading.

"You..." Xiang Xue was a bit perplexed by his hot and cold attitude.

In the end, she stomped her foot and stormed off, "I’m going to get Crystals."

That day, Granny Jia didn’t come over for brainstorming, but the next afternoon, she came again.

She hadn’t given up thinking, instead, she systematically organized everything and prepared a bunch of questions.

From her questions, Qu Jianlei faintly felt that the elder really wanted to independently improve the Sand Attribute’s Cultivation Method.

He welcomed this, as most of the time, he wasn’t one to hoard knowledge, and communicating with the elder could also improve himself.

That afternoon, they didn’t converse for long.

Granny Jia seemed to want to draft a framework first, not focusing much on details for the moment.

Clearly, she was prepared for a prolonged battle, starting with the structure and slowly chewing through the tough problems.

Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised, instead, he felt the elder was methodical in her work—this kind of task was not something to be rushed.

As they were leaving for the day, Granny Jia reminded him: Remember to go to Green Water Academy tomorrow.

Despite her age and frailty, she actually lived more wisely than anyone, "With my approval, you don’t need to take leave."

During this time, Qu Jianlei had picked up some bad habits too; once something came up, he would close the borrowing channel without hesitation.

Everyone operated this way, and if he didn’t, he would be seen as an outlier, hindering his integration into Imperial society.

The next morning, he arrived at Green Water Academy.

The academy wasn’t far from the Old City Library, less than a twenty-minute drive.

However, traveling from the school gate to the library took more than twenty minutes.

Cars couldn’t be driven too fast on campus, that was one reason, but the main reason was: the academy was massive!

The entire academy covered over twenty square kilometers, with nearly half of it being a primitive forest.

However, this primitive forest was mostly a castrated version, without a complete ecosystem, just a native forest. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The library, on the other hand, was far from the native forest, clean and tidy, with pleasant scenery.

Qu Jianlei arrived a bit early; the library hadn’t opened yet, maybe it was karma for his evil deeds, getting equivalent retribution.

A short distance from the library, there was a small mountain with a viewing platform on it, and Zi Jiu Immortal suggested they go up and take a look.

The scenery across the academy was quite nice, with mountains and water, and very tranquil—a great place for study.

The two chatted casually, but soon, from four or five hundred meters away, a pair of eyes full of malice stared at them.

The librarian at Green Water Academy also felt lazy today.

Morning classes had ended, and the various departments of the library had started working, but the library doors remained tightly shut.

Qu Jianlei thought, this guy was even more arbitrary than he was, "Is this ’getting up early and catching a late fair’?"

Zi Jiu Immortal, however, knew this person’s idleness, and couldn’t help but laugh at the comment, "It’s not the first time I’ve encountered you with a closed library either."

"It’s different," Qu Jianlei responded seriously, "The Old City Library is societal, and you here are an academy."

"But they’re both libraries," Zi Jiu Immortal looked at him with curiosity, "Is there a difference?"

"An academy is a place for study..." Qu Jianlei’s words stopped abruptly.
