Chapter 107 Petition (Third Update)
To Bentley's question, Qu Jianlei naturally replied, "Am I not good to be young?" β
"Well," Bentley smirked, the first time he had laughed since the two met.
Why bother with other people's mechanical level? "The younger you are, the more potential you have to cultivate, and the easier it is to help me get revenge."
Qu Jianlei spoke, "I don't promise easily, as long as I promise you, I will definitely do ......it."
"But Ben, I want to know more news."
Bentley bowed slightly, then asked flatly, "What else do you want to know?" β
"Let's talk about Central City first," Qu Jianlei had already thought about it, "We are poor and remote, and the information is too ill-informed. β
Bentley nodded again, "Actually, I deliberately controlled the news, and the position and vision here are a little lower." β
Qu Jianlei also nodded, "I know, artificially created information barriers...... A way to control your thoughts. β
"Huh?" Bentley gave him another strange look, "Information barrier...... It's a very apt description. β
"But at your age, how can you have such a deep understanding of the social system?"
Qu Jianlei drooped his eyelids and replied weakly
"If you've had the experience of almost dying of starvation dozens of times, you won't wonder why I have this understanding."
Bentley paused, he didn't think that starving too much would make him a thinker.
But he did not go hungry, his family was good since he was a child, and even if he was wanted later, he never lacked money in his hands.
Later, he awakened his attributes, and he had no opponents in the wasteland.
He has been wandering around for most of his life, and he is mentally depressed, but he really has not suffered any loss materially.
He wasn't sure how powerful starvation was, but he had seen more than three or five hundred people who had been starving all year round.
No one can come to such an incisive conclusion as this teenager.
However, these are not very important, the more comprehensive the other party thinks about the problem, the easier it is to help him get revenge.
"The central city is very big and has a lot of people, more than 10 million people in the central city alone, and more than 20 million people in the surrounding area......
Speaking of which, he was a little strange, why did the young man on the other side look unconcerned?
Qu Jianlei really doesn't feel anything, is there a lot of 20 million people?
His hometown in Bluestar, a metropolis with more than 30 million people, and an urban cluster with a high-speed rail for an hour......
Bentley went on to talk about Canterlot, a hub city that oversees the seven settlements below.
The city covers an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers and has not experienced the catastrophe of the end times.
The city is extremely developed, the level of science and technology is very high, and the industry and agriculture are sufficient for self-sufficiency.
For example, the mecha is made by Canterlot itself, but although the number of such products is not low, the production is not high.
"Can make mecha ......" The corners of Qu Jianlei's mouth couldn't help twitching, it was a bit difficult to help you take revenge.
Bentley glanced at him and continued to speak lightly.
"The manufacture of mecha is at the level of science and technology industry, and the ultimate warrior is genetically and abnormally modified, and the two are not related."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but speak out loud, "How many ultimate warriors are there in Canterlot?" β
"More than a thousand," Bentley replied, "There are thirty or forty thousand transformation warriors, but the ones who appear are the ultimate warriors." β
The Modified Warrior is injected with three or four times of genetic modification potions, and does not give birth to attributes, which is considered a failure of awakening.
Not much, the vast majority of people's physical fitness has improved in all aspects, and it is different from ordinary people.
Qu Jianlei converted it and couldn't help but be stunned.
"According to the fifty years that the reformed warriors can live, then there are only a thousand injections per year?"
A city with a population of 20 million has a thousand indicators per year, which is even more difficult than the Blue Star test of 985.
"The coverage of the primary and secondary is a little higher," Bentley replied blandly.
"The third ...... Well, it's about a thousand. β
So, was the 985 admission notice dropped?
"If you want to become a transformation soldier, there is a lot of investment in the early stage, strictly speaking, it is rich people who can afford it."
After Qu Jianlei thought about it, he asked out loud, "How many levels are the ultimate warriors divided into?" β
"This problem?" Bentley glanced at him in surprise, "Ordinary people don't dare to think much about it when they hear about the ultimate warrior......"
Even he himself, when he was single-mindedly trying to become a transformation warrior, the ultimate warrior is the ultimate dream.
After being wanted, it took him a long time to learn that the ultimate warrior was also classified.
Like the mutant beasts, they are also divided into C-level, B-level and A-level, and the difference in combat power caused by the difference in rank is basically about ten times.
That is, one B-rank fighter can fight ten C-rank fighters.
Of course, this is only a very rough calculation, and the B-level is also divided into strong and weak, and the combat effectiveness of a well-trained C-level fighter can be doubled.
However, there are more than a hundred C-level fighters that an A-level warrior can deal with.
The crushing of high-end combat power against low-end combat power is not just talking.
Qu Jianlei thought for a while and asked, "There is a person with a hand cannon in Zhuliu, and there is also a ...... that can stop people in the air."
"Did you run into them?" Bentley smiled, this was the second time he laughed, "Fighting the snow leopard? β
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded, "he almost wanted to kill me." β
"They killed you?" Bentley thought for a moment, then shook his head, "At least one will die, maybe all of them." β
I'm rough...... You think so highly of me? Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, "Am I that powerful?" β
"You're going to trap," the Bentley man couldn't tell, he guessed how the mech was destroyed.
Then he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Oh, a chance encounter in the wild? β
"You finally figured it out," Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "I saw those two, and I was really worried." β
"Worried? It's all right," Bentley pulled his hood off and grinned at him, "I'll train you next." β
"You train me?" Qu Jianlei was a little confused, "How do you feel ......?"
"You don't have to feel it, as long as I feel it," Bentley was still calm, but his words were extremely domineering.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him unconvinced, "What do you think...... Can you really beat me? β
It is necessary to determine the authority in the team, and the key is that he also wants to measure how good the ultimate warrior can be.
"Can I fight you?" Bentley shook his head with a smile, "There are top students, but there are no top instructors. β
This is the Blue Star saying, "There are only champion apprentices, no champion masters".
Qu Jianlei felt that the other party didn't have the courage to fight with him, but simply felt that fighting was meaningless.
Of course, once you lose, you won't be able to save face, that's for sure.
So he thought about it and asked, "What can you teach me?" β
"Maybe you have something of your own," Bentley replied casually, not wanting to delve into the secrets on the other side.
But he also said very clearly, "But the things you inherited are not systematic enough, and I have a way of attribute cultivation." β
Qu Jianlei decisively admitted, "Old Ben, do I need to apprentice?" β
Willing to gamble and lose, some things are not acceptable, he is very arrogant, but he will not be arrogant to the point that no one is in sight.
"Apprentice...... Bentley's eyes froze for a moment, then he shook his head, "There's no need, just remember your promise." β
"Don't worry about this," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation.
The next way, the two didn't talk much, and the car of the flower scorpion drove very steadily, maintaining a constant speed of thirty kilometers.
In the afternoon, the car drove to a small undulating dirt bag with sparse groves growing on it.
"It's ...... Lead-contaminated woods? Qu Jianlei muttered in surprise.
"Yes," Bentley wasn't a talkative person either.
"I chose a good place," Qu Jianlei knew that this place was full of lead poison, and even wild beasts were reluctant to come.
Some mutant beasts can withstand lead poisoning, but only so.
But such a mutant beast, the hunters will scold it after beating it, and its value will shrink greatly or even be useless.
But it is too convenient to hide things in this kind of place, and lead poison will only precipitate when it is absorbed by the human body.
The vehicle traveled bumpily on a small dirt slope for about 20 minutes and stopped at a mound.
Bentley jumped out of the car, removed a crowbar, and pried up a large rock half a man high.
He didn't let Qu Jianlei do it, even if he knew that he had divine powers.
He wanted to prove that he wasn't old.
It is worthy of being a transformed warrior who has awakened his attributes, don't look at the appearance of an old man, he really pried open the stone.
Underneath the stone were half-buried wires buried in the earth...... This dilapidated look is not uncommon in the wasteland.
Bentley grabbed the wire with both hands and closed his eyes.
After a while, the small slope in front of him trembled, and the earth and stone slowly parted to both sides, revealing a tall stone gate.
There was a round hole the size of a bowl in the door, and Bentley reached in and fiddled with it for a while, then pulled his hand.
After a few seconds, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a hole more than three meters high and more than four meters wide.
The spaciousness of this secret camp far exceeded Qu Jianlei's imagination, and the passage alone was more than 20 meters deep.
The Flower Scorpion was on guard outside, and he and Bentley walked in, "Did you make this up little by little?" β
"I'm not idle to that extent," Bentley replied blandly, "just grab some bastards and get to work." β
What about after the work? Qu Jianlei wanted to ask this, but he couldn't help it.
The old man can think about catching "bastards" to work, and in the wasteland, the moral standard is already up to the mark.
The space inside is also very large, ten meters by ten meters square, and there are actually two small rooms dug up.
There were also a lot of materials piled up in the secret camp, and there was more than one vehicle, and there were three motorcycles.
There are also a lot of guns and ammunition, as well as some energy blocks.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but speak dumbly, "Old Ben, do you still plan to use it as a refuge?" β
"Lead pollution is too heavy, how can it stay for a long time?" Bentley replied casually, "This was going to be a cemetery." β
Speaking of this, he sighed deeply, "I really didn't expect that there would be a day when it would be activated." β
ββββββ
Chapter 108: The Invisible Rich (Fourth Update)
Bentley's affluence was really unexpected by Qu Jianlei.
Although he kept complaining that he was too poor, he always thought in his heart that it was because cultivation consumed too many resources.
If he didn't mention cultivation, he felt that he was not a rich man, but at least he had a successful career.
In any wealthy area of the settlement, he has no problem buying a villa, and even the manor is not impossible to consider.
And when it comes to earning power, he thinks that he will not lose to anyone, and it will definitely be no problem to live carefree.
But he really didn't expect that an ordinary half-hung maintenance engineer outside the city could save so much family business.
"At least twice as rich as me......" This still does not add to the construction cost of this secret camp.
Bentley looked at him a little suspiciously, "Do you think my decades of accumulation will be worse than yours?" β
"This is because I still have to refine my body according to the basic exercises, otherwise, I will be much richer than I am now......"
"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully, "Cultivation is too resource-intensive. β
Bentley hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something, but eventually said.
"Hurry up and take a look, what changes are needed to this truck, and when it is packed, it can be set off at night."
Qu Jianlei roughly got started and looked at the situation of the heavy car, "There is no problem...... Shift your weapons. β
He left his light truck behind and transferred all the supplies to the heavy truck.
Bentley wasn't stingy either, stacking a lot of ammo and energy blocks onto the car.
Qu Jianlei felt that it was a bit too much, "You better stay more, just in case...... What if I accidentally hang up? β
He can't let the other party take out more resources than himself, as the boss of the team, he can't afford to lose that person.
"I'm going to use it when I'm saving it," Bentley said.
But then, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your cultivation method...... Where did it come from? β
"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."
Qu Jianlei smiled and didn't say a word - you know I'm inconvenient, and I still ask that?
Bentley really didn't care, but changed the question, "When you cultivate, what level of mutant beast meat do you want to eat?" β
"C-level, B-level and A-level are all fine," Qu Jianlei felt, refusing to answer questions all the time, and it was not a sign of cooperation.
He even added, "There are also B-grade mutant crystals." β
"What?" When Bentley heard this, he was stunned, and his reaction was bigger than hearing the "absurd word settlement".
"You don't have an awakening attribute, so you can use mutation crystals to cultivate?"
Qu Jianlei replied, "I don't know the cultivation system I told you......
"But in my understanding, the mutation crystallization itself is a kind of energy, why can't it be used for cultivation?"
Bentley was even more shocked, and his mouth opened wide in astonishment, "You won't be...... Just take the mutation crystals to cultivate, right? β
"Of course, it's direct cultivation," Qu Jianlei looked at him curiously, "Is there any other way to cultivate?" β
Bentley was utterly speechless, and he took out a cigarette and lit it silently.
After smoking a cigarette, he spoke, "Directly cultivating with mutation crystals, even a C-level ultimate warrior can't do it." β
Canterlot has a deep research on mutation crystallization, and it can be generalized and applied to many places.
For example, genetically modified agents, as well as early genetically modified neutralizers.
Even those teenagers who received injections needed to increase their nutrients had mutated crystals.
That's why Bentley said that if he didn't have a foundation at home, he really couldn't afford to train reformed soldiers.
When it comes to transforming a warrior, the amount of mutation crystals used will be greater in order to enhance their physique.
However, even if they become the ultimate warrior with the Awakened attribute, they can still use crystalline powder.
The powder is mixed with other substances and can be consumed, injected or applied.
This is the reason why the price of mutant crystals has remained high.
However, in addition to its own quantity, there are also corresponding supporting substances that restrict the use of mutation crystals.
The scarcity of many substances is better than crystallization, so in various settlements, mutated crystals have a certain amount of retention.
Bentley means: Only the ultimate warrior who has reached the B rank can directly use the mutation crystal to cultivate.
Moreover, B-level fighters can't use A-level mutation crystals yet - B-level uses B-class, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
For Qu Jian Lei, B-grade crystallization can be directly used...... Bentley's shock is truly understandable.
After listening to his explanation, Qu Jianlei asked out loud, "How many B-class fighters are there in Central City?" β
"It's a secret," Bentley said helplessly.
"If I even know this, how can I be ruined by someone?"
"Roughly guess it's okay, right?"
"Fifty to ...... Seventy? Bentley replied uncertainly, "If you're an A-class fighter, there are at least three." β
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then spoke, "You want to use the B-grade crystallization method directly?" β
"Of course," Bentley replied without hesitation, "I'm not even ninety years old to improve my strength." β
The words "not yet" and "ninety years old" are joined together...... Is there really nothing wrong with it? Qu Jianlei was highly skeptical.
Life expectancy in wasteland...... Well, it's nonsense to talk about this, it doesn't make any sense at all.
But he knew that there were many wealthy people over 90 years old in the Hongsi settlement.
More than one scavenger has said that if you don't do the job of scavenging, as long as you have enough money, you can live to be 100 years old without disaster or disease.
In other words, the life expectancy of wastelanders is not an exaggeration to reach 100 years.
It is ten or twenty years higher than the life expectancy of the Blue Star people.
Qu Jianlei believes that 100 years old is a goal that can be fought for, provided that he is rich enough.
In other words, the physical condition of the wasteland people may be a little better than that of the blue star peopleβat least the life expectancy is higher.
He never thought that this was a big deal, racial differences objectively existed, let alone the wasteland and the blue star.
But when he heard "less than ninety years old", he couldn't help but ask, "How old do reformed soldiers generally live?" β
"One hundred and twenty is not a big problem at the end of your life," Bentley replied without hesitation.
"If you don't practice well, you may shorten your lifespan, but if you don't die in battle...... One hundred and three is also possible. β
You exercise so hard that the cell telomeres are not affected? Qu Jianlei really wanted to ask, it was a life reduction.
But the word was too technical, he didn't know what to say in the wasteland dialect, and it was clearly not something that a survivor could grasp.
He nodded, "You're not too young for this year...... The key is that my cultivation system may not be suitable for you. β
Of course I know this, Bentley nodded without hesitation, I haven't heard of your cultivation system in Central City.
"Anyway, you can see how much you can help, and I didn't talk about remuneration for helping you."
"I'm different," Qu Jianlei said seriously, "My knowledge system is very valuable. β
"I understand," Bentley nodded.
He knew this very well, and the knowledge system he mastered was indeed very rare for the settlement below.
But compared to the knowledge that the other party has mastered, the entire settlement has not heard much, this is not a little bit precious.
At least what he knew, more than 10,000 people in Canterlot knew.
He said simply, "I can pay the difference until you're satisfied...... Do you have a Class B crystal? β
It's really not easy to get hold of mutation crystallization, which is to fight for influence and probability, and has nothing to do with the knowledge system.
"There is only one left," Qu Jianlei took out the crystal, and said very sincerely, "The others are all A-grade." β
"Other...... Are they all A-grade? The corners of Bentley's mouth twitched, "How many are there?" β
"Two and a half," Qu Jianlei doesn't like to brag in essence, he can say whatever he can do, isn't it?
If you brag about it, once it explodes, you have to bear the consequences, not to mention, the key is that the society will die.
"That's pretty good," Bentley said with a blank face, "and I only have nine A's in total." β
Would you even use the word "only"? Qu Jianlei nodded, "What about B-grade?" β
"Thirty-two," Bentley said, spreading his hands out helplessly, "I've used quite a few." β
"I'm rough ......," Qu Jianlei couldn't help muttering, "'only' thirty-two?" There are conditions at home. β
"I'll give you ten," Bentley replied without hesitation, "it's the difference." β
"I'll buy it at a high price," Qu Jianlei didn't promise, "I can try to help you, but I don't guarantee the effect." β
Bentley didn't want to argue with him about this, saying that it was enough to use resources for the team, and there was no need to be so clear.
He wasn't stingy in the first place, and he had been accumulating supplies, wasn't he going to use them at such a time?
"Your cultivation method, can you show me it?"
"It's not very convenient," Qu Jianlei replied, "You take out your method, and I'll see if I can help you improve." β
"You...... Help me improve? Bentley was not an ordinary skeptical of this.
He was very willing to believe the other party, including directly using mutation crystals to cultivate.
But improve the cultivation method...... With your age and cognitive abilities, can you do it?
"There is indeed a problem of trust," Qu Jianlei nodded, "But my cultivation method may not be suitable for you." β
Inconvenience is one obstacle, mismatch is another.
You've been cultivating on your own for so long, and now you're changing your cultivation methods, do you think...... Is it appropriate?
Bentley wasn't stupid at all, and he saw the world clearly, so he thought about it for a moment and simply nodded.
"It's okay, anyway, I didn't plan to hide it from you in the first place...... I'm going to train you. β
Then he turned around and dragged a worn-out looking bag from under the table beside him, "This is the exercise I have collected. β
Qu Jianlei bent down and flipped the bag, and asked in amazement, "So much?" β
How many people did this old man kill?
