Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 594 - 464: Hit the Jackpot

After Qu Jianlei confirmed that Kushnier was dead, he quickly rushed to loot the corpse while there was still smoke to cover him.

He didn't have much time left, as two Supremes were watching from afar.

His main target was Kushnier's Storage Talisman; the other items he carried weren't important.

The Supreme Council doesn't have Storage Talismans? That's hardly possible!

Qu Jianlei murmured to himself: Hopefully, my machine cannon didn't damage the Storage Talisman.

Fortunately, he found a Storage Talisman on the opponent's chest.

Just one? A bit unsatisfied, he forced himself to endure the mental discomfort and scanned again.

The electromagnetic disturbance waves hadn't completely dissipated. At this moment, using Spiritual Perception felt very sluggish, and the Perception Range was limited.

Then, he noticed something unusual: the other side had something resembling a sachet.

This kind of item is common on the Garbage Star.

Due to various radiation and pollution, people's physiques not only mutate but also develop different peculiar odors.

Kushnier was dressed in Wasteland style, so carrying this wasn't strange, even though there aren't many people with body odors in Central City.

But Qu Jianlei's Spiritual Power was very keen. Feeling something was off, he gave a careful sweep.

Soon after, he was ecstatic, "Is this... Space Equipment?"

He wanted to call this item a Storage Bag, but since he's in the Empire, better to do as the locals do.

After discovering Space Equipment, he didn't want to linger at all.

If someone found out that Kushnier carried such equipment, he might find himself in big trouble.

He instinctively scanned the Storage Talisman again and discovered several of those "Electromagnetic Shocking Flash Bombs."

He took one out and threw it directly. In the blinding white light, he completely vanished.

"Damn..." The two Supremes sensed this scene and cursed simultaneously.

They truly didn't intend to interfere in this battle, but secretly tracking this guy was still on the table.

Of course, if the opponent noticed them, they'd also leave. Both hoped a Supreme would show up to make contact.

Whether this Spiritual Attribute A-level belongs to the Patriotism Team isn't that important; what's important is who stands behind this person.

Both Supremes believed that the assassination involved not just one person.

Just the Spiritual Attribute Warrior of A-level warrants a Supreme to protect him, let alone doing such a dangerous thing.

The hidden Supreme on the other side didn't appear; it was inconvenient for them to pressure, so they hoped the opponent would reveal themselves.

However, with the release of the bomb, it was impossible for the two to keep tracking this warrior.

Amplifying Spiritual Perception might not definitely fail in finding the opponent, but doing so would make their hostile intent quite obvious.

Qu Jianlei couldn't precisely guess the mindset of these two.

As someone who didn't have a sense of security, he wouldn't pin his hopes on others; escaping for dear life was the way to go.

Instead of fleeing to the outskirts, he concealed his aura and stealthily infiltrated the urban area of Fengrao City.

The world outside the city was vast but sparsely populated; only among people could one hide well.

Where is the hardest place to find a drop of water? Certainly in the ocean!

Several times, Qu Jianlei vaguely sensed the Spiritual Power of the two Supremes.

Fortunately, by the time he infiltrated the urban area, Dennis's Spiritual Power disappeared.

According to the Empire's regulations on Superpower Warriors, even Supremes cannot use Spiritual Perception at will within urban areas.

The other Supreme persisted a bit longer, but eventually withdrew his perception as well.

Qu Jianlei later learned that this person was Guardian Supreme of Star No. 4, with the authority to act as they saw fit.

At that time, the explosive fire didn't attract this Supreme's attention.

Firstly, the location was not in a bustling district; secondly, the explosive fire wasn't powerful enough.

On the whole Star No. 4, countless major events occur daily. If every event alarmed the Supreme, they'd be overwhelmed.

But when Kushnier threw out the Electromagnetic Shocking Flash Bomb, the severity was sufficient.

Not only were many electronic devices destroyed, but crucially, this location overlapped with the explosive fire earlier.

That's why the Guardian Supreme's Spiritual Power pressed in without hesitation.

Now that the battle was over, it was inappropriate for the Supreme to continue using Spiritual Perception in the urban area.

He immediately, decisively left, and seeing this, Qu Jianlei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Luckily.

Of course, he couldn't be sure if the opponent had truly given up searching, so he still needed to hide more covertly.

He wandered around for quite a while before reaching the perimeter of Fengrao Academy, where he stopped beside a big tree.

Then he activated Wood Attribute convergence, hiding deeply within the shade of the tree.

He chose this spot because next to it was the Academy; his experience at the Engineering College told him that the Academy was less affected by social influence.

Not long after hiding, he sensed Dennis's aura again; she was performing rainfall at the previous battle site.

To most Poison Qi, rainwater is an excellent antidote.

The toxins washed to the ground by rainwater at least can't poison people through the air.

As for how to neutralize the toxicity of the poison, that's something the officials of Fengrao City need to consider.

Anyway, the problem won't be too serious. Without the reinforcement of the Poison Attribute, the piled-up poison can easily decompose.

What Qu Jianlei did not notice was that the Fourth War Zone had also sent two Poison Attribute Warriors to perceive the toxins and toxicity on-site.

One warrior was B-level and the other C-level, both could confirm that the other side indeed used stacked techniques.

The B-level warrior even stated, "The person who performed the technique has a strong cultivation level, probably above mine."

So, does this mean there's at least an A-level Poison Attribute on the other side?

However, this B-level warrior also judged more, "The stacking technique isn't very precise, maybe... rushing for time?"

Qu Jianlei waited until dawn before he moved and changed into sportswear, walking out from under the trees.

Then he pretended to be a morning jogger, running all the way back to the hotel he was staying at.

Once he entered the hotel, he didn't rush to check his harvest but freshened up and asked the hotel front desk to help him book a ticket.

He enjoyed a hearty breakfast, just in time for the ticket to be booked—for a starship back to Star No. 2.

The starship was set to fly in the afternoon, but when he was checking out, someone came to inspect.

Unfortunately, among the inspectors in the City Guard, one of them had been there before.

Thus, this person asked Qu Jianlei why he was in such a hurry to leave, having only been there for a few days?

Although it is the era of interstellar navigation, the cost of traveling across planets is still not cheap.

Qu Jianlei's reason was ready-made, "In the middle of the night, there were loud noises nonstop; the security on Star No. 4 is too poor!"

The person across hummed indignantly, "As if the security on your Star No. 2 is much better."

Anyway, this person thought Qu Jianlei came here for money, now feeling unsafe and wanting to leave, which is quite normal.

Rich people, after all, live in such high-standard hotels, seeking benefits and avoiding harm is their nature.

Qu Jianlei was also very compliant after boarding the starship, not rushing to examine his harvest.

Upon arriving at Star No. 2, he didn't hastily book a flight to Star No. 3 but hid in a mountain cave in the wild.

After disguising the cave carefully, he opened Kushnier's Storage Talisman.

This Storage Talisman was a bit larger than what ordinary people use, roughly twenty cubic meters. Inside were some regular items.

In terms of weapons, besides the Electromagnetic Shocking Flash Bomb, there were some guns, ammunition, fuel, and Energy Blocks.

Additionally, there were two and a half A-level Crystals, around a hundred thousand in Silver Notes, some Qi Recovery Pills, and Healing Medications.

There was also food, water, spare clothes, and a military tent, among other things.

Clearly, the Supreme is indeed supreme, treating the Storage Talisman as a daily suitcase, using it very casually without minding durability.

After Qu Jianlei finished his inventory, he opened a storage space similar to a sachet.

This harvest surprised him; the space inside was about forty cubic meters, larger than his Storage Ring.

Inside was a modified motorcycle, along with various boxes, most boxes containing gold and Energy Blocks.

Two boxes were filled with Cultivation Manuals and Divine Text Rubbings.

These are forbidden items, even for Kushnier as the Supreme, these things should not be touched.

Nevertheless, Qu Jianlei could understand his mindset.

This guy acts quite perversely and is not very popular; many things naturally need to be figured out by himself.

Especially since he doesn't have a family in the Star Realm, he might have some assets, but the problem is there's no one trustworthy enough!

So, he carries the forbidden items with him, which is entirely normal.

What truly shocked Qu Jianlei was a sealed large box, not only with seals but also with a password lock.

Fortunately, Xiao Hu was already awake, supported by the robust Baofeng Terminal.

Even so, Xiao Hu took five minutes to successfully crack it, then infiltrated the box's electronic system.

A moment later, it issued a warning, "Careful, there's a mechanical self-destruction device, follow my steps..."

Qu Jianlei took another three minutes, carefully opening the box.

After carefully dismantling the fiery explosive, he began to examine its contents—a mechanical fitness device?

However, items worthy of such serious collection shouldn't be too cheap, right?

Qu Jianlei widened the cave, smoothing it out a bit, before cautiously retrieving the equipment inside.

After taking out the equipment, it exposed a small flat box beneath.

He first perceived it, confirming there was no danger, and then opened the box.

Inside was a booklet, with bold characters on the cover—"Simple Qi Gathering Array Installation and Maintenance Guide"

"Damn," Qu Jianlei gasped, "Could it be something like a Spirit Gathering Array?"

He opened the booklet and flipped through a few pages, his expression changing again, "It's actually a cultivation array driven by Energy Blocks?"

"Hit the jackpot," he muttered under his breath, and then jumped up suddenly.

"This is bad, where should I hide to avoid pursuit?"
