Chapter 191: Chapter 132: Favoritism

In fact, he was primarily perfecting the cultivation technique of the Flower Scorpion because it was of great reference value to him.

Then he asked, ”Has the ’Mechanical Mysteries’ manuscript been approved?”

Dai Xingyan’s face darkened, and she muttered softly, ”I helped you get ’Mechanical Exploration’ approved.”

”Mechanical Exploration?” Qu Jianlei’s expression changed slightly, ”A page subsidy of fifty silver coins?”

Fifty and a hundred, that’s a difference of double.

Dai Xingyan’s expression didn’t look good either, as high spirited as she once was, now she seemed equally dejected.

She defended in a low voice, ”They’re just a bunch of blind men... but don’t worry, next time I will find someone else.”

Qu Jianlei furrowed his brows, ”If you can find someone next time, why not this time?”

”I already found someone this time, finding again isn’t appropriate,” Dai Xingyan stated straightforwardly, ”It would put the person in a tough spot.”

”Forget it, I find it quite boring,” Qu Jianlei really felt a bit dispirited.

He intended to make money from this, but it’s not worth it to earn it so laboriously.

He truly doesn’t lack means to make money; he merely yearned to earn it this way. Is it difficult to help people with repairs or commit robbery?

”You write, and I’ll double the subsidy!” Dai Xingyan stated resolutely, ”I’ll pay for it!”

Qu Jianlei looked at her, earnestly saying, ”I don’t want money, I want cultivation resources.”

”No problem,” Dai Xingyan answered without hesitation, ”I must breathe out this anger.”

Breathe out? Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly, ”Are there so many pointless grudges to hold? If really angry, just kill.”

Dai Xingyan was stunned, ”Killing... how did we get to this topic; do you like fights and killings so much?”

Qu Jianlei spread his hands, ”Can a Maintenance Master earn enough money for cultivation?”

Dai Xingyan was suddenly speechless; indeed, it’s not possible, let alone an Ultimate Warrior, even a Modified Warrior has large expenses.

Then she thought about it and asked solemnly, ”Can you kill just anyone?”

Hmm? Qu Jianlei was taken aback by the question, ”I thought you wanted me to write papers... now you’re considering hiring me as an assassin?”

”Who doesn’t have a few enemies?” Dai Xingyan spoke always so directly, ”I originally planned to solve it myself.”

”Then solve it yourself,” Qu Jianlei shook his head, not being a murderous maniac.

Dai Xingyan had been quite dutiful thus far, until just now, her thoughts were still about making the other person write.

But once the idea emerged, it couldn’t be contained anymore, ”Then you help me kill, I’ll pay.”

”It’s not about the money,” Qu Jianlei replied seriously, ”Do you think... I’m that kind of person?”

”Ten thousand silver coins!” Dai Xingyan promptly named a price, ”It’s just two ordinary people, I’m not short of money!”

Qu Jianlei shook his head, ”No deal!”

”Fifteen thousand!” Dai Xingyan bit her lip, ”This is really the ceiling; I can’t afford more.”

”No deal,” Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, as someone with principles.

”Then forget it,” Dai Xingyan dejectedly shook her head, her offer was indeed quite sincere, leaving little room for negotiation.

”Let’s still discuss where you should focus your research, don’t submit to ’Practical Mechanical Technology’ again.”

The submission to ’Practical Mechanical Technology’ was that article on geothermal heating improvement methods.

In Dai Xingyan’s words, getting into this publication was at the expense of her face to ask favors, otherwise, it wouldn’t have passed.

This also shows that those bottom-level gathering areas really aren’t valued by Central City.

”Wait,” Qu Jianlei spoke seriously, ”It’s not that I think you’re giving too little, but I don’t want to be paid off to kill.”

”I’ve killed quite a few, but I dare say I have a clear conscience about it, and taking wealth should come from the other party.”

Without waiting for her to respond, he straightforwardly stated, ”Does the other party have a death wish? The key is... do they have money?”

Dai Xingyan paused for a moment before reacting, ”Are you really so meticulous?”

Qu Jianlei replied frankly, ”Having principles is what makes someone human; otherwise, what’s the difference from an animal?”

Dai Xingyan pondered and nodded, ”The other party is also strong; I’ll still offer ten thousand... they do have a death wish.”

Qu Jianlei lifted his chin, ”Then tell me.”

According to Dai Xingyan, her family is in Taikoo, running a considerable business.

Engaging in business inevitably involves competition, and the Dai Family fleet suffered several attacks.

The Dai Family is no pushover; they retaliated against possible competitors, and such incidents haven’t occurred since.

What Dai Xingyan remained resentful about was that her elder brother got injured and died in one of the escort missions.

Although the competitors were retaliated against, the robbers were never caught.

Later, she roughly confirmed the robbers’ information, but they had already become legitimate residents of Qianjing with significant assets.

Given the competitive relationship between the Four Capitals and One City, the Dai Family couldn’t reach into Qianjing for now.

Dai Xingyan’s father had already stated that when conditions were ripe, those two wouldn’t be spared.

But now that Qu Jianlei might consider taking action, Dai Xingyan was also willing to pay.

After hearing this, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, ”I can take this job, but not for at least half a year.”

Bentley’s cultivation just began, and the Flower Scorpion’s cultivation hasn’t even started; he has to work out the cultivation technique for her.

Their current finances are tight, but even if they only cultivate without earning, they could last for three to four years.

Qu Jianlei is not averse to killing; there is a profit to it, and he has tasted the benefits.

However, originally planning to get rich writing papers, this change... is quite sudden.
