After Qu Jianlei saw Qinghu off, he didn’t rush to check the storage device but instead lit a cigarette and started flipping through the vortex.
The progress on the teleportation array was not significant in Little Lake, with most of the computing power currently focused on the regular version of the Qi Gathering Array.
After watching for a while, the Paranoid couldn’t resist, "Aren’t you going to check the information from the Anomalous Management Division and the Divine Text Association?"
He was just stubborn by nature, not lacking intelligence, and had already noticed the other’s abnormality.
Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised and just sighed as he connected the storage device to the vortex.
He glanced through it briefly, then set the vortex on the table, humming softly, and made no further comment. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The Paranoid picked up the vortex to take a look, then shook his head, "Six Supremes... how much hate does that attract?"
He said it that way, but from his tone, it was clear he didn’t take these six Supremes too seriously.
The reason was simple: Rhodiola rosea could handle two Supremes alone, and he himself wouldn’t have much trouble dealing with two either.
Even when the other six Supremes banded together as four, they had no difficulty when both of them gave their all.
Qu Jianlei heard this and cast a sidelong glance, "You’re also part of the Divine Text Association... aren’t you planning to help them a bit?"
"I just stayed there," the Paranoid replied casually, then curiously asked, "Are you Ran Bingluan?"
Though phrased as a question, there was considerable certainty in his tone.
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei looked at him, surprised, "Am I that obvious?"
Given that they shared a mutual interest, some things didn’t need to be hidden.
"Intuition," the Paranoid responded straightforwardly, proudly emphasizing, "That’s an intuition above the Supremes!"
In fact, he also had quite a bit of information on Rhodiola rosea, which allowed him to make this judgment.
If he weren’t sure this guy was attributeless, he would never believe someone could seamlessly switch between all attributes.
Of course, an intuition above the Supremes was indeed far superior, even though his current body didn’t quite match, it didn’t affect his intuition much.
Qu Jianlei gave him a glance, calmly asking, "If I make a move, will you help or just watch?"
The Paranoid tilted his head, pondering for four or five seconds before seriously answering, "It depends on whether you have the moral high ground."
Qu Jianlei pulled out another cigarette, slowly lighting it, "I thought you’d support me unconditionally."
"I feel like you’re not the kind of person to be unreasonable," the Paranoid replied deeply, "Only with a big enough vision can one go far."
Are you implying something about me? Qu Jianlei thought to himself.
But in any case, having a sense of right and wrong is never a bad thing, so he just let out a cold humph.
"Remember your words, if you lose the moral high ground in the future, don’t blame me for being rude."
Seeing the other’s lips move, he frowned slightly, coldly saying, "What, only half an array still has a point?"
Hearing this, the Paranoid had no temper but couldn’t help retorting, "You just go on and on, don’t you?"
"I’ve explained, it’s not that I don’t want to give it, I was set up!"
You got set up, what has that got to do with me? Qu Jianlei genuinely disliked this excuse.
But he wasn’t one to babble, so he straightforwardly asked, "If I take action against the Divine Text Association, will you join in?"
"Tsk," the Paranoid clicked his tongue, finally replying, "Let’s look for that half of the array first."
Qu Jianlei didn’t respond, just looked up at the backyard—when would the old man finally break through?
Five days later, Bentley finally reached A-level, taking another half month to stabilize the realm.
Probably due to his age, the old man couldn’t control his aura well, feeling much less stable than Xiang Xue when she advanced.
But regardless, he finally broke through, and now there were two A-levels in the manor.
Qu Jianlei gave a nod, saying he was going out with the Paranoid to find some things.
Flower Scorpion said that although the old man wasn’t convenient for travel, she could certainly help, and Xiao Qin was eager to try.
Qu Jianlei, both amused and exasperated, said, "We’re not going to war this time, there’s no need for everyone to go."
Thinking about his experiences, he felt a bit at a loss, "A rare cultivation condition, and they don’t even know how to cherish it, really."
Then Qu Jianlei and the Paranoid left the manor, disappearing from everyone’s view.
Both carried passes from the military and Customs Enforcement Division, but after some discussion, they decided to sneak out.
Because neither could guarantee they wouldn’t engage in a fight, so it was better to keep their movements discreet.
Their first stop was Celestial Hook Star, as it used to be the central star of this Star Realm.
When the Paranoid was striving for something above Supremes, Celestial Hook was even more prosperous than Celestial Handle Star.
Pierre had two secret residences on Celestial Hook Star and had rented a bank safe deposit box.
He thought one of the secret places and the safe deposit box were hidden well, and no one should know about them.
The Paranoid couldn’t help but sigh at this, "I quietly kept an eye on him, wanting to leave a little surprise..."
Based on the information provided by Qinghu and additional searches by Little Lake, there were two Supremes on Celestial Hook Star still searching for Ran Bingluan.
One of these two Supremes comes from the Divine Text Association, the other from the Anomalous Management Division.
But Qu Jianlei didn’t plan on making a move; the pressing issue was still to find the half piece of the teleportation array stone slab first.
The Paranoid originally thought it would take some effort with the bank’s safe deposit box, after all, this was once the Central Star.
And the bank Pierre chose was also a very large one, with very strict security equipment.
It would be simple to use brute force, but if possible, it’s better not to cause too much commotion.
However, Qu Jianlei’s operation made the Paranoid feel that he had underestimated the Attributeless Supreme.
Qu Jianlei first demonstrated an illusion technique, easily deceiving the bank’s triple-layered guard.
The Paranoid’s spiritual power was also quite strong, but illusion techniques... were beyond his capabilities.
He had just advanced to above the Supreme level and was already in trouble, with no time to ponder illusion techniques, at most he could only use spiritual power to knock people out.
Then the two followed a guest who entered the storage room into the area where the safe was located.
The ubiquitous surveillance was quite a headache during this process.
However, with Little Lake around, there was no need to hack into the bank’s payment system, just slightly affecting the surveillance system was enough.
The safe was the most headache-inducing problem, with specifications here being very high, all mechanical and unaffected by electronic signals.
However, Qu Jianlei didn’t care at all, instructing Little Lake, "Cut off the alarm signal, stop the smoke and heat detection, and the sound and light response."
Without these warning devices, a purely mechanical safe could be tampered with at will.
They didn’t even avoid the guest, they just started cutting the safe right away.
The guest was supposed to hear the noise and smell something strange, but unfortunately, his mind was affected, so he was helpless.
The Paranoid’s original attribute was metal, so cutting the safe was quick, taking only about ten seconds to open it.
Unfortunately, the array wasn’t in the safe, but there were 30 million in silver notes and 200 kilograms of gold.
In addition, there were some land deeds and stock certificates. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"This is someone preparing for a rainy day," Qu Jianlei shook his head; it’s rare to see an awakened one with a legitimate identity being so cautious.
Didn’t find what they were looking for, but these gains... could be seen as not having worked in vain.
However, the Paranoid muttered, "With your skills and that AI, you could be a great bank robber."
The Big Head Butterfly, hearing this, couldn’t help but turn in circles, "This could work."
"Don’t listen to him," Qu Jianlei hastily reassured it, saying it wouldn’t be false if he claimed not to be tempted by those words.
But the owners of the other safes hadn’t provoked him, so why loot those who are innocent?
Those who could rent safes here were either rich or noble, some could be powerful enough to cause trouble.
Just like the Kitchen Maid said, once you indulge your desires, you’ll slip into the abyss sooner or later.
"If you get used to robbing banks, doing it often will eventually lead to huge trouble... Do you think we have fewer enemies?"
Little Lake remained silent, and after a long pause, muttered, "If not robbing others, just finishing with this one would be fine."
Qu Jianlei ignored it, from a risk assessment perspective, the Big Head Butterfly wasn’t wrong.
But humans, as humans, must understand restraint and awe, that is what defines an independent personality.
The other two secret locations had long changed owners, even the buildings had changed.
He and the Paranoid sneaked in during the night, busy for two whole nights, but found nothing.
With both of their spiritual powers, they couldn’t find any clues, so they could only say that the array wasn’t hidden here.
The Paranoid didn’t show any impatience—his perseverance is a form of obsession.
"Let’s go to Celestial Sharp Star, Pierre’s family is there."
He used to think Pierre wouldn’t bring trouble home, so he didn’t choose Celestial Sharp as the first target.
But now Celestial Hook has been ruled out, so the suspicion on Celestial Sharp has increased.
So the following night, they quietly entered the starship’s cargo hold heading for Celestial Sharp.
The Paranoid sighed a bit, "This hitching a ride on a starship is really convenient, could do it this way from now on."
The cargo hold’s comfort couldn’t compare to the passenger cabin, which was unsuitable for the Supreme’s style.
But he valued the convenience more; the comforts didn’t matter much, and the lack of life-support facilities was even less of an issue.
Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow at the words, thinking that if not for attracting too much attention, he’d also prefer to travel this way, and it saves money.
The next moment, a voice came from the passenger cabin, "Celestial Hook Border Control is conducting an inspection, passengers need not panic."
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, utterly speechless: how could the situation keep changing?
Shortly after, the door from the cargo hold to the passenger cabin opened, and the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard; at least a dozen people seemed to be approaching.
Those who came down the ladder first were a few soldiers dressed in space suits.
