Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

In response to Qinghu’s question, Qu Jianlei clearly answered, "I tend to support this theory..."

"But to be responsible, I still need some time to calculate and verify."

Above the Golden Core is the Nascent Soul. Has anyone ever heard that the Nascent Soul has obvious shortcomings?

Qu Jianlei took himself as an example for reference; he, being attributeless, had no doubt that he was capable of impacting the Nascent Soul.

However, his theoretical knowledge indeed had shortcomings, so he couldn’t just make a definitive statement.

Seriously, he also felt a bit emotional: these geniuses trapped at the supreme peak really dare to try anything!

This also shows how much confusion the interruption of inheritance has brought to these people.

"I also support this notion," the Paranoid suddenly spoke, "cultivating more attributes doesn’t hurt."

He had once surged past the supreme level, feeling entitled to express his opinion.

"Once achieving above the supreme, cultivating techniques of different attributes becomes much simpler."

"Exactly," Qinghu nodded, then gave him another look, "Senior, what do you mean..."

"No more talking about it, it’s embarrassing," the Paranoid shook his head, sighed, then looked at Qu Jianlei.

"In your inheritance, the realm above the supreme... does it not have a specific name?"

Qu Jianlei nodded, "It does, but it’s really not appropriate to say it now."

"Acting all mysterious again!" the Paranoid grumbled discontentedly, "Can’t you learn to be a bit better?"

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at the words, "As if you’d say everything either."

The Paranoid was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, let’s not bring this up... What about this Salins, should we deal with him?"

In his view, one of the thirteen big heads of the Scavengers was a trivial existence, far less important than discussing theories.

This shows how much confusion the interruption of inheritance truly brought to the Awakened.

When this topic couldn’t continue, he remembered the current affairs faced.

Qu Jianlei nodded at the words, "We must deal with it, I’m really curious who gave him the guts?"

"Tch, merely because they think, the electromagnetic attribute’s combat power is formidable," the Paranoid stated with disdain.

"These people really don’t understand what true hard strength is... Still pretending to be an electromagnetic attribute?"

"Alright," Qu Jianlei smiled and nodded, "I’m just curious, didn’t Kopache mention his ordeal?"

"It’s possible," Mu Yu answered in a deep voice, "Firstly, he cares about face..."

"Secondly, he’s considering if revealing the truth will avoid our retaliation!"

"Exactly," Qinghu nodded, "Dukas belongs to the local power faction..."

"Unless necessary, the Scavengers will not deliberately provoke them; they’re more likely to win over and recruit."

Even a strong dragon doesn’t repress a local serpent; offending local powers is definitely detrimental to their information gathering.

"Then let’s do it!" the Paranoid expressed enthusiastically, "True electromagnetic, fake gold... I’m eager to face it!"

Last time, when four Earth Attribute Supremes bullied Kopache, it was satisfying to him.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu asked, "Just the two of you? Someone needs to coordinate, right?"

"Two is enough!" the Paranoid replied without hesitation, "Electromagnetic attributes are rare... Too bad Bentley isn’t here!"

"For coordination, let Qinghu go," Qu Jianlei looked at Mu Yu, "Her sand attribute can conceal identities at critical moments."

"And with Senior Shui Qing in seclusion, someone needs to be the Dharma Protector, right?"

"No problem, just asking," Mu Yu shook his head, "The three of you go; being able to retreat intact is not in question."

In the following time, Qu Jianlei instructed Little Lake to pay attention to collecting information related to Salins.

However, the information was quite scarce; not even finding any details about Collins coming to the Celestial River online.

At this time, Ping’an’s information network finally took effect. As a local power, it had convenient conditions for gathering information.

Two days later, Ping’an finally found the specific whereabouts of Collins.

This person really hadn’t left, just staying near the planetary first officer’s residence, living alone in a small courtyard.

The small courtyard was a former property of the Scavengers, a hidden backup base, now exposed this time.

Moreover, within three kilometers of the small courtyard was the planetary headquarters of the Patrol Guard.

This suggests that Salins might have already considered the possibility of not being able to defeat the opponent and would rely on security forces to intervene if necessary.

The courtyard housed four people: besides Collins, there was one B-level and two Super Soldiers.

And that Fire Attribute A-level came occasionally during the day but didn’t reside there at night.

Who knows if it was intentional, but this personnel setup was identical to when Kopache was attacked.

"This is a blatant provocation," the Paranoid’s first reaction upon receiving the news was, "Absolutely intolerable!"

"But Ping’an’s people have different judgment," Flower Scorpion expressed in a deep voice, "They think it might mean ’don’t kill anyone’!"

Originating from the Garbage Star, she had always believed in "nipping danger in the bud."

But the last time we let Kopache go, the effect was surprisingly good, and it did not affect our side’s future arrangements and plans.

So she paid relatively more attention to Ping’an’s suggestion this time.

That night, the atmospheric pressure was very low, with occasional flashes of lightning and thunder, and a heavy rain was about to arrive.

Collins was lying on the desk, holding the smart terminal to handle official business, "This clerical work... just never ends!"

The B-level Awakened, also a female, was refilling his tea, "Sir, why don’t you take a break if it’s never-ending?"

"Even if it never ends, I have to finish it," Collins muttered softly.

The next moment, a flash of lightning lit up, followed by a deafening thunderclap.

Immediately, raindrops as big as beans fell, hitting the leaves and quickly filling the air with sound.

Collins glanced out the window, speaking thoughtfully, "Go rest, and don’t come out if you hear anything unusual."

"Unusual?" The B-level female Awakened was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Could it be dangerous?"

"Maybe," Collins replied vaguely, "Anyhow, protect yourself and don’t worry about anything else, the same goes for the other two."

The B-level female was puzzled, but dared not ask further and quietly left.

Collins took another look out the window, muttering softly, "On a rainy night like this, can your desire for revenge really be so strong?"

He made the judgment that the other side "might appear" based on speculation about their desire for revenge.

The last time, the other side acted and blinded four people at the scene, all because a warehouse guard’s eyes were blinded, right?

So, the two Scavengers chose to infiltrate on a rainy night, and now, isn’t it also a rainy night?

This guess, at first glance, might seem a bit unreasonable.

But the Scavenger’s intelligence-gathering abilities are strong, often due to similar leaps of imagination.

Qu Jianlei had already infiltrated nearby, and the Little Lake had connected to the courtyard’s network.

However, it did not enter the other party’s terminal because this person’s spiritual power was strong, and the terminal’s defense was also very strong.

Yet, through the surveillance, it still heard the other party’s self-talk and relayed it to the boss.

Qu Jianlei listened with some speechlessness, "Is this... luckily I came today, otherwise wouldn’t I’d make them wait in vain?"

"But the persona of bearing grudges is actually not bad, if I can’t make people love me, making them fear me isn’t bad either."

As the rain intensified, Collins found it increasingly hard to concentrate on handling official business.

He walked to the window, raised a hand to push it open, unafraid of exposing himself in the dim night.

In fact, a Divine Text Talisman hung around his neck, an authentic original, not a replica.

This was his greatest reliance.

He looked outside, his gaze slightly unfocused: What form of attack would the opponent use this time?

The next moment, his scalp tingled suddenly, and without thinking, he dashed to a corner of the room.

He didn’t know what was about to happen, but there was definitely danger; this intuition for danger had saved him more than once.

Sure enough, two Supreme auras abruptly rose, one violent and one heavy, both giving him an exceptionally powerful sense of oppression.

Collins had ascended to the top thirteen purely by virtue of his formidable strength; those who could make him feel such oppression were truly rare.

Yet the next moment, his expression changed, and he exclaimed softly, "No~~ Impossible~~~"

For someone as composed as he to show such a loss of composure meant he truly encountered something unfathomable!

In reality... there wasn’t anything too extraordinary; it’s just that the two Supremes were emitting waves of electromagnetic elements.

In other words, these were two Electromagnetic Attribute Supremes!

It might not sound very peculiar, but Collins himself awakened the Electromagnetic Attribute and deeply understood the horror of this matter!

Electromagnetic Attribute Awakening was inherently difficult, and its advancement was even harder; among a hundred Supremes, not even one might be an Electromagnetic Supreme.

Collins had roughly estimated before: on average, two hundred twenty to two hundred forty Supremes might produce one with the Electromagnetic Attribute.

Moreover, Electromagnetic Supremes mostly gathered in the core area, rarely seen outside!

The fact that the opponent could casually bring out two Electromagnetic Supremes made Collins almost unable to imagine, how enormous this force must be!

Additionally, the appearance of Electromagnetic Supremes indicated one thing—they already knew that he originally awakened the Electromagnetic Attribute!

Exactly, they said they’d come on a rainy day, and they did. They said they’d be targeted, and two Electromagnetic Supremes showed up.

Collins knew that his information was not completely sealed; as long as the opponent’s force was large enough, a little time could reveal it.

But knowing his details was one thing; deploying two Electromagnetic Supremes in the short term was another!

And if both were true... the terror of this force was utterly beyond words!

At this moment, he finally recalled Kopache’s hesitating expression and that very peculiar sentence.

"Regarding the opponent’s situation... there’s nothing much to say, there are quite a few Earth Attribute Supremes."

Is that what you call "quite a few Earth Attribute Supremes"? Clearly, there are plenty of Supremes of every attribute!
