Chapter 1038: Chapter 904: Do Not Test Human Nature

Qu Jianlei and the others were very satisfied with the new residence, not only was the scenery pleasant, but it was also sufficiently tranquil.

Moreover, the surrounding areas were all Ping’an’s land, with little need for vigilance.

About fifty kilometers away, there is a sizable town, making it convenient to purchase everyday necessities.

Ping’an also prepared two small aerial vehicles for them, allowing them to directly travel to the city if needed.

The seven of them did not have high requirements for living conditions; upon arrival, they directly hollowed out a row of stone caves in the mountainside.

Inside the stone caves, they set up a Qi Gathering Array and a Spirit Gathering Array, and another for placing the set of eighty million computing units.

The large computing units to be purchased in the future will be placed in the house at the foot of the mountain.

During the construction of the stone caves, Little Lake also instructed robots to install a large number of monitoring and alarm systems.

The weapon systems were not much arranged, only symbolic guns and cannons were set up, indicating strict defense here.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the ”Shanshui Small Building” estate remained exceptionally calm.

On this day, Qu Jianlei planned to try the aerial vehicle, and coincidentally, Mu Yu and the Paranoid also wanted to go into the city for shopping.

The aerial vehicle disappeared into the distance, and Granny Jia walked out from the stone cave, slightly raising her eyebrows, her eyes a bit confused.

She wanted to hint to Panda that her condition had mostly recovered, wondering if it could be considered...

But these words were hard to say; if the other party didn’t initiate, her urging might be seen as mistrust.

So these past few days, she was a bit conflicted.

In fact, Qu Jianlei’s outing this time was also to resolve this issue.

The aerial vehicle landed inside the yard of Ping’an Mansion and then drove into the underground garage.

The three walked out of the aerial vehicle, with Hail already waiting there, ”Greetings to the three lords.”

Qu Jianlei spoke solemnly, ”This visit is to inquire if there are any targets that require action recently?”

Hail was stunned by the words; weren’t these people always uninvolved in Ping’an’s matters?

Seeing this, Qu Jianlei spoke solemnly, ”In a while, someone may need to go into retreat...”

”Understood,” Hail nodded vigorously, thinking that explained it, ”I’ll ask the boss right away.”

Jilt happened to be on the way back and said, ”Please have them wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”

By the time they met, he had already figured out what to do.

”There’s a small trouble recently, but not worth the lords’ action. Releasing some aura here appropriately would suffice.”

This request was simple, but the Paranoid helplessly pouted: ”No profit... really.”

The three entered Jilt’s office, where Mu Yu conventionally released a Supreme aura of the Earth Attribute.

The Paranoid released pure pressure, instantly unleashing and retracting.

The speed was so fast, yet the aura was exceptionally violent, as if a Fierce Beast had descended, bringing infinite horror.

Both Jilt and Hail were A-level, and caught off guard, their faces changed simultaneously.

Hail’s muscles tightened entirely, instinctively wanting to assume a fighting stance, only to realize his brain couldn’t control his body.

He hadn’t had time to make other reactions before the aura vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

”This is...” He looked at the Paranoid incredulously, his eyes full of shock.

As the captain of Ping’an’s action team, he had interacted with quite a few Supremes and had good relations with their own two Supremes.

But he had never thought a Supreme’s pressure could be so fierce: Was this still a Supreme?

Jilt also became dazed for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, ”This is, this is... Lord, what attribute is this?”

The Paranoid casually replied, ”Pure pressure.”

Qu Jianlei also released some aura, the Supreme aura of the Fire Attribute was conventional, lasting two to three seconds.

At that moment, alarm sounds echoed through the mansion due to unusual energy fluctuations triggering the alarm systems.

Hail then came to his senses, pulled out an terminal to turn off the alarm, then called via the intercom.

”No problem, several Supremes are having a pleasant conversation, the alarm has been lifted.”

Putting away the intercom, he exchanged a glance with Jilt, then couldn’t help but glance at the Paranoid.

They had little feeling about the Fire Attribute ”boss,” but rather, this one left them with a very deep impression.

The Paranoid acted as if he didn’t notice it, casually saying, ”The two of us will take a walk in the city, you don’t need to worry.”

Hail glanced at his boss, promptly stating, ”I’ll arrange it to ensure no one disturbs you two.”

Under the cover of others, the three each left Ping’an Mansion.

Soon after, others came to visit Ping’an, drawn by the Supreme aura emitted earlier, alerting other forces.

Among them, the aura of the Paranoid left the most peculiar sensation.

Though fleeting, akin to an illusion, just that instant made people thousands of meters away freeze.

Among the visitors, some secretly guessed: Could it be a Supreme of the Spiritual Attribute?

Having shown off, the Paranoid went shopping with Mu Yu.

Until nightfall, they returned to Ping’an Mansion, leaving quietly on the aerial vehicle under the cover of darkness.

Outside the Ping’an Headquarters at the moment, there were two signal vehicles observing the traffic going in and out of Ping’an.

”There’s only one person on this aircraft... strange, is it really this extravagant?”

Just then, two motorcycles arrived, painted with the Ping’an Trading Group’s symbol.

Two people got off the bikes and spoke gruffly, ”What are you doing? Are you harboring ill intentions towards Ping’an?”

On the aircraft, Mu Yu spoke up, ”What is the boss up to?”

”Don’t worry about him,” Paranoid replied casually, ”That guy has too many secrets... no one on this planet can do anything to him.”

Three days later, Qu Jianlei appeared at Shanshui Small Building.

He didn’t say what he’d been up to, and no one asked—after all, the boss would never do anything to harm everyone.

To avoid sparking others’ curiosity, Qu Jianlei focused on perfecting the teleportation array upon his return.

Everyone was also very curious about the ”near-earth teleportation” that this disc triggered.

Although the last teleportation threw someone directly into space, leading them to endure a tough period.

But undeniably, the teleportation was basically successful; the only issue was the large deviation in landing points.

As Qinghu put it—it’s already solved the issue of existence; the precision can be adjusted slowly.

However, testing this thing is somewhat troublesome.

The success rate for short distances can be quite high now, but when it comes to hundreds, millions, or even tens of millions of kilometers...

Honestly, testing it is really inconvenient.

Paranoid was more curious about this disc, asking for the Nth time, ”Boss, why do I feel like this thing is an array?”

At this point, Qu Jianlei no longer hid it from him, ”It’s the array I deduced from your treasured item.”

”So that’s it,” Paranoid nodded in realization, ”This is how it’s used!”

Mu Yu had also heard him talk about the boss taking his treasure for analysis and had speculated on what the treasure was used for.

”Good things should be handled by those who understand them, which means... this kind of near-earth teleportation is actually from the cultivation system?”

Qu Jianlei pondered a moment before answering, ”Let’s just say it’s not entirely a technological system.”

Paranoid thought for a moment and asked, ”Then what kind of array is this array exactly?”

Qu Jianlei smiled slightly and replied, ”Some of the mysterious glyphs are quite taboo, we’ll talk about it when we are all at the supreme level and above.”

Qinghu asked upon hearing this, ”Senior, can I study the original array artifact later on?”

Paranoid was taken aback for a moment, then replied, ”Let’s study it together... I mean, you need to get some decent treasures too.”

”I’ll be more mindful in the future,” Qinghu replied, ”Though I’m still young and don’t have a deep accumulation like you, Senior.”

Paranoid casually responded, ”Playing by the rules won’t get you these kinds of things, you’ve always been too honest.”

”But at such a young age, you’re already aiming for the supreme level and above... you’re really following the right boss.”

Once again hearing the term ”supreme level and above,” a slight confusion flashed in Granny Jia’s eyes in the distance.

That night, Qu Jianlei sent a strand of spiritual power to the old lady, ”(ˊ•̥▵•)੭₎₎”

Granny Jia’s eyebrows slightly raised, and her figure flickered a few times, appearing beside him.

Qu Jianlei didn’t speak either, but slightly released spiritual power to sense the surroundings.

His spiritual power fluctuations couldn’t be concealed from the other three supreme beings.

But everyone realized it was the old lady seeking out the boss, and didn’t have much curiosity—after all, aren’t these just the everyday things in the team?

Granny Jia’s gaze flickered, looking at Qu Jianlei with some anticipation, ”?”

Qu Jianlei took out a Pioneer; a line of text appeared on it, ”Are you almost ready?”

A trace of joy flashed in the old lady’s eyes, and she slowly nodded twice.

Earlier she had speculated that Panda had been out for three days for some reason, and surprisingly... there was indeed a surprise.

After returning, Qu Jianlei had spent many days researching the array to prevent others from guessing anything.

Another line appeared on the Pioneer, ”Tomorrow you can announce your seclusion, remember to keep it confidential.”

The old lady took a gentle breath, then slowly nodded, trying her best to avoid any emotional fluctuation.

Qu Jianlei handed her a storage talisman, and another line of text flashed briefly on the Pioneer before disappearing.

But the old lady’s eyesight was excellent, ”Inside are life-extending pills, extending life by thirty years.”

Her heart couldn’t help but race wildly—she had been quite good at controlling her emotions, but at this moment, she really couldn’t help it!

This small anomaly piqued the curiosity of the three supreme beings, and three strands of spiritual power swept past.

There’s no help for it—there are too many experts around, it’s just this helplessness, anything slightly unusual can’t escape notice.

Granny Jia expressed without batting an eyelid, ”After some time, I’ll go understand those treasures with mysterious glyphs.”

”I’ve had some insights recently, might need to go into seclusion for a few days.”

Strictly speaking, among teammates, things shouldn’t be hidden like this, but these are life-extending pills!

At her age, the old lady deeply understands, don’t ever test human nature!
