The 167th Forgotten Harvest - 168 Praying Mantis and Yellow Finches (Fourth Shift)

Chapter 167: The Forgotten Harvest (Part 3)

How many did you find? Jamari's brow furrowed, "One in total." ”

Qu Jianlei was stunned, "Only one? ”

The inspector gave him a strange look, then nodded, "It's really just one, I killed a lot of people for the sake of investigation." ”

After a pause, he said very frankly, "Actually, I'm also curious if Terry can directly use crystals to cultivate." ”

"So for crystallization, I keep the most eye on it, and there is absolutely nothing missing."

That's it! Qu Jianlei bowed slightly, Bentley had more than 20 B-grade crystals in his hands, and there were nine A-grade crystals in his hand.

Therefore, the loss of a B-grade crystal is not uncommon, and it may be that Bentley intends to use it for cultivation.

However, all the crystals used for cultivation were lost, which shows how urgent the situation was at that time.

Seeing him nod, Jamari finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at him again.

This glance made him stunned for a moment, "What are you...... Grade B? ”

He had something in his heart, and after talking for a long time, he didn't notice that Qu Jianlei's breath had changed.

Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied calmly, "I don't know if it's B-grade, my cultivation philosophy ...... It's different from ordinary people. ”

Jamari asked tentatively, "What's the difference, can you tell me about it?" ”

Qu Jianlei glanced at him lightly and didn't speak, but the meaning was already obvious.

I'm in such a bad mood right now, you're going to ask me about such a sensitive matter?

Seeing this, Jamari could only say stupidly, "Okay, you can adjust first...... Contact us if you have any needs. ”

In the next three months, there was still no news from Tianzi District.

It doesn't matter if there is no news of Bentley and Flower Scorpion, these two are already very good, but there is no news from the person who made the shot.

Qu Jianlei has been unhurriedly calculating the arithmetic, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

But Xiao Moshan couldn't hold it back.

After he got the cultivation method from Jian Lei, the effect was very obvious.

Although he also paid for five B-grade crystals, he still felt that he had to do something.

He is a warrior of the wind attribute, so it is not too convenient to find out the news, and then he will come back to find Qu Jianlei.

"Two forces are the most suspicious, one is the Douglas family and the other is the Andre family."

Andrea's family is the Frost Wolf's family, and because of the Frostwolf's death, he has been investigating everywhere in Canterlot.

Qu Jianlei was curious, "The Douglas family...... What does this mean? ”

Xiao Moshan replied, "I also wonder what it has to do with his family, I heard that an ultimate warrior went to the Tianzi District, but there is no news so far." ”

This fighter went under a pseudonym, but he used this pseudonym a little too often, so he was remembered.

Usually no one cares about this, but at the moment any clues must be examined.

Then he investigated it carefully and found that the Douglas family had been very low-key recently.

Xiao Moshan has a straightforward personality, but it is his job to inquire about the news, so he naturally does not lack carefulness.

The B-class warrior had just died, and it was inevitable to keep a low profile, but this was loose on the outside and tight on the inside...... What's going on?

He stared at it for three nights in a row and discovered a detail: it seems that two of the family's ultimate warriors are missing from Douglas's house.

The pseudonym who disappeared before was not a family warrior, but a member of their family forces.

The two who disappeared were pure family members, and one of them was about to be promoted to elder.

Someone in the family mentioned that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and some people were not allowed to talk about it, saying that they were cultivating behind closed doors.

The Douglas family, including its forces, has a total of more than a dozen ultimate warriors, and three of them are missing at once, which is definitely not a small matter.

Then Xiao Moshan discovered that the Douglas family was secretly connecting some forces that were close to each other, and they didn't know what they were plotting.

It's just that he can't figure out what reason this family has to make a move on Terry.

Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the cultivation method of electromagnetic attributes? It shouldn't be, who would dare to step on that kind of big pit?

After listening to what he said, Qu Jianlei frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't know the point.

"By the way, do you still have B-class crystals? I'll buy a few. ”

Xiao Moshan glanced at him in surprise, "You have a lot of B-grade crystals in your hands, right?" ”

This guy is originally a wind attribute, and he is particularly concerned about Qu Jianlei's movements, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know.

"I've been using it a lot lately," Qu Jianlei replied.

When he came to Canterlot, he brought nine B-grade crystals with him, and later got more than a dozen one after another.

But before estimating the wind attribute cultivation, and recently deducing the arithmetic method, I still have to cultivate, and I used up most of it.

Now in his hand, there are only four B-grades left, although there are still two A-grades, but he doesn't plan to use them for the time being.

As a person with a bad sense of security, he felt that four B-grade crystals were a bit less.

And the calculation method is really crystallized.

"Tsk," Xiao Moshan smacked his mouth in distress, "Is ten enough?" ”

"It's enough for the time being," Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "How much is one?" ”

The price of B-grade crystals in Central City is almost 6,000 to 8,000 silver dollars, and the specific price depends on the condition.

His funds are a little tight, but everyone is a neighbor, so it's not difficult to pay in installments, right?

"I'll charge you half the price, thirty-five thousand," Xiao Moshan was very happy, "No matter how much you take out, it's hard for you to take it out." ”

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, "I have let you figure out all my belongings." ”

Xiao Moshan replied very directly, "I keep your living expenses for you, but this half price is true." ”

"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded, there should be no love in the world for no reason.

"It's sincerity gold," Xiao Moshan said without hesitation, "Wait for me to be B-level, help me improve the exercises." ”

"There is no problem," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "but when the time comes, I will still collect it." ”

Xiao Moshan laughed when he heard this, it was really rare for him to not smile, "A word is a certainty!" ”

can feel it, he also likes Qu Jianlei's character very much.

The next night, Xiao Moshan brought ten B-grade crystals.

The total number of silver tickets in Qu Jianlei's hand is only more than 30,000, but he still has three kilograms of gold.

The price of gold in Canterlot is very high, and one kilogram of gold can be exchanged for three thousand silver dollars.

So Xiao Qin said at the beginning that the price of gold in Central City was not what he imagined.

Remembering that he had exchanged a lot of gold for a thousand silver dollars per kilogram, Qu Jianlei had a toothache.

But...... It can't be helped, right? At that time, I pointed to the emergency, but now it doesn't make sense to think about it.

So he took out two kilograms of gold, and then he counted out twenty-nine silver tickets.

"Huh?" Xiao Moshan's eyes were sharp, he saw something in the safe, and raised his finger to point, "Can you take a look?" ”

Qu Jianlei saw that it was opened by himself when he opened the treasure chest, a black ring with a mysterious pattern on it.

He had pondered that a ring could be put together with a hundred kilograms of gold, and it was obviously not an ordinary thing.

According to the exchange price of Canterlot, one hundred kilograms of gold can be exchanged for 300,000 silver dollars, and forty or fifty B-grade crystals can be bought.

But he never figured it out, and then his curiosity gradually wore off, so he didn't continue his research.

Qu Jianlei didn't say anything directly, but just asked curiously, "What do you suspect it is?" ”

Xiao Moshan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, maybe I guessed wrong, but let me get started, it's appropriate, I'm willing to exchange these ten crystals for it."

Qu Jianlei did not refuse, but said, "I'll think about it...... If you can tell the truth, the possibilities are greatly increased. ”

Xiao Moshan shook his head indifferently, "This is the truth...... I can't say, you know, it's not good for you. ”

After the transaction was completed, Qu Jianlei asked the other party, "Where did you get so many B-grade crystals, did you rob the warehouse in the canyon?" ”

Xiao Moshan looked at him in amazement, "How do you know?" ”

I went there, Qu Jianlei was a little surprised, is this guy so fierce? "I just said it casually."

"I'm revenge," Xiao Moshan replied stupidly, "I'm really not a person who sees money." ”

"I can feel it," Qu Jianlei nodded seriously, "I can feel it from half price." ”

"Hehe," Xiao Moshan laughed dryly, and said without self-deprecation, "The left and right are just to report to the group for warmth." ”

After he left, Qu Jianlei thought about the ring in the safe, and still pressed the urge to ponder.

There's no way, there's a voyeur around, which makes people very helpless - what if the noise is louder?

Anyway, when the obsessive-compulsive disorder comes, he can control himself not to think about it.

After another ten days, half of the ten crystals I just bought were consumed.

The huge consumption brought output, and Qu Jianlei finally perfected the third technique.

He is a person who is very good at forbearance, but with three spells in hand, he really can't resist the idea of giving it a try.

The spell must not be tested in the small courtyard, not even in the city, and must find a place where no one is around.

After eating at noon, he planned to drive away.

But as soon as he got into the car, he stepped down again, went back to the house, opened the safe, and took out the black ring.

Seeing the B-grade crystals next to him, he thought about it sideways, grabbed three, and put them in his pocket.

The test spell must use internal breath, and in case of any danger, the crystals can also help to recover quickly.

It is too extravagant to use crystals in this way, and it will also cause some damage to the body, but ...... Who made him feel insecure?

Just as he was leaving, Xiao Moshan in the restaurant also put down the kitchen knife.

"The dish was almost cut, and suddenly I remembered something and asked for half a day."

He has been conscientious as a cook, and he will become a member of the boss team only if he can take three uses when he is free.

It's really not a thing to suddenly take a temporary leave, and some people even asked with a smile, "Found a girlfriend?" ”

Xiao Moshan didn't answer, pushed out a motorcycle and started it, hanging Qu Jianlei's off-road vehicle from a distance.

He wasn't trying to do anything, he was just curious: why did this guy suddenly go out?

What Xiao Moshan didn't notice was that two or three minutes later, at least three motorcycles were hoisted behind him.

——————

Chapter 168: The Praying Mantis and the Yellow Sparrow (Fourth Update)

Qu Jianlei drove an off-road vehicle and didn't care much about whether anyone was following him behind him, which was a bit rare for him.

In fact, he still looks in the rearview mirror from time to time, but it's just a routine attitude.

All his thoughts were on the three techniques, and he was really a little eager to try.

And the fact that he is in the Inspectorate, everyone who should know knows it, in broad daylight, who dares to attack him in the city?

While driving, he took out the black ring and took a look at it - he couldn't help but hold on to his curiosity for more than ten days.

More than five hundred meters behind, Xiao Moshan's attention was all focused on him.

However, he was wearing a helmet and the other party's car window was closed, so he could not perceive the other party's behavior very accurately.

But in general, he could still feel it, and knew that the guy was feeling something out of his pocket and looking at it.

Under the helmet, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, "I thought you weren't curious." ”

Five or six hundred meters behind him, three motorcycles covered each other, took turns to step forward, staring at the off-road vehicle.

There were really too many motorcycles on the road, Xiao Moshan didn't notice the motorcycles behind him, and the three didn't notice him.

Qu Jianlei drove for more than an hour, and finally drove to the suburbs, and the people and vehicles on the road gradually became scarce.

Seeing this, Xiao Moshan slowly reduced his speed and stared at him almost a kilometer away.

The same is true for the three motorcycles in the back, which actively slowed down to about two kilometers away from the off-road vehicle.

Qu Jianlei found the motorcycle behind him, but he didn't doubt it, just such a road, he can walk, others can't?

In fact, after leaving the city, there are not too few motorcycles on the road.

After another hour, there were basically no people.

Qu Jianlei saw a gentle slope on the side of the road, and there was a forest in the distance, so he drove down the gentle slope in a dozen directions and went straight to the woods.

Xiao Moshan, a kilometer away, did not slow down, and he still walked straight along the road, and he definitely couldn't follow him.

But the next moment, his attention was on his back - he had to be careful not to let others see the abnormality.

However, as soon as he looked behind him, he noticed that something was wrong: the three motorcycles...... It's a bit weird.

But he didn't react, instead increased the throttle a little, didn't stop when passing through the gentle slope, and galloped away.

Qu Jianlei parked the car at the edge of the woods, and deliberately glanced behind him, but found nothing abnormal.

Seeing him enter the woods, one of the three motorcycles slowed down slightly, and someone in the back seat called out with a handstand.

"The target got out of the car and went into the woods! The target got out of the car and went into the woods! ”

"Please reply when you receive it, please reply when you receive it!"

"Roger," a voice came from the stand, "you leave in an orderly manner, repeat, you leave in an orderly manner." ”

Qu Jianlei entered the woods, took out the ring to feel it first, and then felt it with his mind.

Immediately after, he couldn't help jumping high, "I'm going to go, isn't that the case!" ”

He was surprised to find that there was space inside the ring...... This is the legendary storage ring!

He really couldn't imagine, "This thing is actually, actually, actually, ......"

He is obviously traversing the wasteland, and there are high-tech weapons such as pre-apocalyptic mecha and Gauss guns.

The ultimate warrior can also be said to involve genetic modification, but why did the storage ring appear?

"This wasteland is not the wasteland I imagined."

But his heart was big enough that the next moment, he began to look inside.

Maybe it's a misreading of some Xianxia, he thinks this storage ring ...... It feels a little small.

It's almost three meters by three meters, and it's more than two meters high, and it can't even fit a larger truck.

Half of the space inside is neatly stacked boxes, and at a glance you know that they are energy blocks.

There was nothing else, Qu Jianlei couldn't help frowning, "Why don't you put the gold in?" ”

Then he reacted, and really put the gold in it, and in that treasure chest, in addition to the title deed, it was this ring.

If you do that, the storage ring will be too dazzling.

"You can put something in when you go back," Qu Jianlei happily put the ring on his hand.

The energy block inside is another windfall, but there is no doubt that a hundred times the energy block cannot be exchanged for such a storage ring.

When he was excited, his limb management ability was really poor, and he wanted to calm down and pinch the trick, and forcibly calmed down for a long time.

By the time he started the test, Xiao Moshan had already touched it.

He hid his motorcycle in the distance, and quietly came by with his amazing figure, faster than riding a motorcycle.

Xiao Moshan didn't dare to get too close, because in his perception, the other party had already entered the B-level level.

No matter how confident he was, he didn't think he could beat a B-rank fighter, and he didn't want Jian Lei to misunderstand.

Since he said that he wanted to report to the group for warmth, he would not easily change his intentions.

Two hundred meters away is the limit, and it can't be closer.

Then he was stunned, "Electromagnetic magic...... I'll it.,This guy really has no attributes.。 ”

He was very experienced in perceiving various attributes, and he hadn't felt anything about Jian Lei's body before.

But the next moment, Xiao Moshan's brows furrowed, and he looked in another direction suspiciously: Wind attribute warrior?

The three motorcycles he was following just now were a bit strange, he had already sensed them, there were five people in total, and they were all wearing helmets.

He could feel that at least three of them were ordinary people, and the other two were ...... Suspected of being a reformed warrior.

Some of these five people were carrying laser pistols, some were carrying short daggers, and those with guns should have gun licenses.

He felt that the size of these five people could not cause much damage to Jian Lei, and it was estimated which family's eyeliner it was.

It didn't take long for the ultimate warrior to arrive?

Xiao Moshan, like the other party, was a C-level wind attribute warrior, but he came from the canyon, and his way of using it was stronger than that of the other side.

And he is quite sure that the other party will not perceive him.

Do you want to warn Jian Lei? It doesn't look like the one who came with good intentions.

Xiao Moshan thought about it for a while and decided to wait and see for the time being, but he really couldn't explain why he was here.

It's just a C-level wind attribute warrior, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with Jian Lei, right?

The next moment, his brow furrowed again, "This is ...... Earth-based magic? Jian Lei, this guy, has figured out two spells? ”

Qu Jianlei really didn't know that he was being stared at by two groups of people, and he was concentrating on the spell he had calculated.

He calculated three spells, the first of which was Bentley's "Thunder Dragon" technique.

Bentley didn't say it was an electromagnetic technique, he didn't even have a cultivation method, and this technique was calculated by Qu Jianlei with the help of Qu Jianlei.

However, Qu Jianlei can only deduce the approximation, and if he wants to adjust and improve himself, he also needs Bent to use his talent to perceive and cooperate.

And this brontosaurus is also the same move that Bentley almost hit Jamari in the first place.

Qu Jianlei had a thorough understanding of the essence of the thunder dragon, so the first thing he calculated was this technique.

He is different from Bentley, he doesn't have the talent attribute of electromagnetism, he can use it when he gets started, and he has to recalculate.

But even so, it is much easier to calculate the thunder dragon spell than to calculate other spells.

Just now he controlled the output and tried it with a very small internal breath, and it felt ...... It's almost meaningless.

His ability to control electromagnetism is a little worse than Bentley's after all, but it can't be helped, he doesn't have this talent.

Now that he's B-level, the total output is definitely stronger than the old one, but it's more than the details, and it's not good to be unconvinced.

Then he began to test the second spell, the "Earth Wall Technique".

Why did you choose this for the second technique...... Does this need to be asked? People who don't have a good sense of security, of course, prioritize defense.

Speculating on this technique, Qu Jianlei had to work hard, and threw at least six or seven B-grade crystals into it.

In fact, he can ask Ma Long side-by-side, how to practice this technique, the consumption will be reduced a lot.

However, if you really want to grasp the essence of it, it is not something that can be discussed and understood in a few words.

If he discussed it with Malone a lot, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party, wouldn't it?

Not to mention that there is a voyeur next to his yard, staring at him every day.

Qu Jianlei has a good impression of Xiao Moshan, but who wants to be casually looked at by outsiders about his own hole cards?

Anyway, he had worked hard to deduce this technique, and now he is constantly adjusting and testing.

He didn't have the luxury of arching the earth wall every time he tested, anyway, it was the experimental stage, and there was just a soil ridge.

Although it is in the wilderness, it is better to be small, and obscene development is the right way.

He tested it intently for a while, and finally felt that if he continued to adjust, it might be a bit worth the loss.

Excellence is the way it should be, but he seems to be ...... now The conditions are not very good, and it is enough to be almost the same.

During the course of his test, Xiao Moshan had been perceiving the wind attribute cultivator on the opposite side.

The other party also seemed to know that Jian Lei was not easy to mess with, and hid four hundred meters away, wanting to sense Jian Lei's actions.

Where would Xiao Moshan allow this to happen? If you want to find out about Jian Lei's situation, have you asked me?

He quietly used a "particle" technique, which is to invisibly roll up some particles and obstruct the perception of the other party.

The technique of particles is only available in canyons, as for the wind attribute cultivators in Canterlot...... Sorry, you don't deserve it!

Xiao Moshan used the particle technique, and he didn't even worry about the other party finding out that the two sides were inferior in terms of application.

After probing the perception of the interview a few times and looking at the frequency, it should be no gain, and I am a little anxious.

But the warriors of the wind attribute are all natural scouts, and after several unsuccessful attempts, they decisively gave up.

Of course, you can increase your efforts, but if you alarm the object being spied on, isn't it impossible to draw it?

The next moment, Xiao Moshan discovered the abnormality again, he could perceive it, and the aura on the opposite side was also blurred a lot.

After a little discernment, he laughed silently, "Haha, floating dust technique? ”

In Jian Lei's words, the floating dust technique ...... In fact, it is only a castrated version of microparticles.

(The fourth watch arrives, and the twenty-third day of the continuous 10,000-word update asks for monthly pass and post-subscription support, and the two changes will be resumed tomorrow.) )
