Chapter 145: Layers of Guards (1st update: He Mengzhu Linghu No. 2 Middle School)
It is quite rare for Jamali to make such a commitment.
Naturally, Qu Jianlei would not continue to press. Everything should be done in moderation, and going too far is not enough.
He wanted to see those attribute techniques, mainly because he wanted to further improve the Wuming Qi Refining Technique. A basic idea would be enough.
However, Jamali has one more request, which is the position of "Mechanical Maintenance Advisor of the Inspectorate", which he must accept.
This is a prerequisite, otherwise there is no need to discuss it, and the Inspectorate will not be able to provide these conveniences to unrelated people.
Qu Jianlei thought about it and finally agreed, but he also reiterated that he would definitely not work.
Then there was the issue of identity, and he chose to continue using Jian Lei as his name.
Jamali had been prepared for a long time and actually immediately took out Jian Lei's identity certificate.
This was a temporary identification card, but photos were still required. Qu Jianlei entered Houjing and took photos.
Then, Jamali completed the production of the identity certificate on the spot.
The temporary identity card of the Inspectorate is no problem for entering and exiting the Central City. You just need to renew it after entering the city.
However, Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry to leave. The reason was that it was difficult to travel in winter and he wanted to wait until spring.
Jamali was completely speechless. He thought this kid did it on purpose, so he turned around and left.
Qu Jianlei is really not being hypocritical. The key is that he, Bentley and Hua Xiezi need to divide their property.
The recent battle against Tanaka Yi has been quite fruitful.
Nearly 400,000 yuan in silver notes, seven kilograms of gold, nine B-grade crystals, some rare materials, etc.
According to Qu Jianlei's idea, he wanted to keep most of the property because there were too many uncertainties in Central City.
As for whether to give it up or not, he basically wouldn't consider it, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many supplies in other settlements.
For him, security is the most important thing. As long as he can develop stably in one place, making money is nothing.
However, Bentley firmly opposed it, even though he was very grateful for Qu Jianlei's trust.
He believed that in the battle against Tanaka Yi, although everyone contributed, but when looking at the root cause, it was Qu Jianlei who played the greatest role.
Without the cultivation method he deduced, we would never be able to block Jamali and Xiao Qin's attacks.
Later, the reason why Jamali's attitude changed drastically was still because of these exercises.
Bentley believed that all the spoils should belong to Qu Jianlei. He and Hua Xiezi could be satisfied with the cultivation techniques.
Anyway, they are not short of money and supplies.
In Bentley's view, with the endorsement of the Inspectorate and Qu Jianlei being careful enough, he would not encounter much trouble in Central City.
But it's really not easy to live well in Central City, so it's better to bring more belongings.
The three of them pushed back and forth, and finally Bentley and Hua Xiezi reluctantly accepted the two hundred thousand silver notes and two kilograms of gold.
The two of them said they refused to take anything else.
Shortly after the beginning of spring, the fat young woman Xiao Qin came, and she took Qu Jianlei to Central City.
This time, Bentley and Hua Xiezi didn't see him off. Dai Xingyan drove them all the way to Taidu.
Regarding Qu Jianlei going to Central City, the acting president did not show the slightest surprise.
She believed that Jian Lei should belong there, and even made an order, hoping that he would help purchase some supplies.
Dai Xingyan was a little curious as to what identity he would go to Central City under.
However, Qu Jianlei did not show his identification, because... when the Inspectorate comes to Beijing to find him, it is very secretive.
He had to consider the face of the Inspectorate, and the safety of himself and his two companions was also very important, so he just smiled.
The car drove to the outskirts of Taidu and did not enter the city. Instead, it turned a corner and drove onto a small road.
After continuing for more than a hundred kilometers, a lonely mountain appeared in front of us, which looked a bit like a volcano.
It took another two hours to drive to the bottom of the mountain, and there was a checkpoint on the road.
Dai Xingyan sent Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin four or five meters away from the checkpoint, stopped the car and stopped moving forward.
Then the two of them came to the checkpoint carrying a huge package and showed their identification.
The guard only took one look and waved his hand to let him go.
There were idle motorcycles on the roadside. Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin, one each, rode towards the front.
Two kilometers away is a brightly lit cave.
After entering the cave and walking about thirty kilometers, it suddenly became clear.
It was a huge and flat square, covering almost one square kilometer. The key was that you could see the sky when you looked up.
In the center of the square, there is an oblate oval object with a diameter of more than 150 meters and a height of more than 40 meters.
When entering the square, there is another checkpoint guarded by soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.
The two people set up their motorcycles, walked towards the soldiers, and showed their identity documents.
The soldier looked carefully for a few times, raised his arm across his chest, and saluted, "I've seen you, sir!"
The two people had very high-level documents, and someone drove over to carry them and their luggage to the elliptical object.
Qu Jianlei had already guessed that this should be an aircraft, but Xiao Qin didn't explain, and he kept his eyelids down and remained silent.
Seeing them arriving, a hatch opened underneath the elliptical object, and a telescopic gangway slowly landed.
The two walked up the gangway, and Xiao Qin and Qu Jianlei walked through it and arrived at a spacious cabin.
There was actually a separate partition in the cabin. Qu Jianlei looked at it with a look of surprise on his face.
Xiao Qin had been secretly observing him, and when he saw this, Ao Ran couldn't help but said, "This is a luxury cabin."
"I think it should be," Qu Jianlei nodded, but he was wondering in his heart, doesn't he need to buy a ticket?
Facts have proved that it’s not that you don’t need to buy tickets, it’s just that people from the inspection office don’t need to buy tickets.
About half an hour later, another middle-aged man came into the cabin, looking very impressive.
He looked around and found Xiao Qin. He walked forward and said hello with a smile, "Beautiful girl...hiss."
Staring at the silver ring on the other person's hand, he took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and turned around and left without saying a word.
"Did you see it?" Xiao Qin winked at Qu Jianlei proudly. The people in the inspection office are so awesome.
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "As a mechanical maintenance consultant, will I also wear this silver ring in the future?"
"I guess... it won't work," Xiao Qin thought about it, then shook his head, "It needs to be officially edited."
She knew, however, that Inspector Jamali had been trying to get this person to join the inspection office, but he had always been very repulsive.
Should you regret it now?
Qu Jianlei nodded calmly, "Oh, that's good."
Xiao Qin was so angry that he rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "Tough talk."
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied helplessly, "It's really not the case. I don't like publicity and I don't want to attract attention at all."
Xiao Qin glanced at him and said, "I don't have to wear it normally, but now I'm on a mission, so I put it on specially."
"Is that so?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows in surprise, then nodded thoughtfully, "That's not bad."
Yes, yes, but for this small convenience, let yourself be restrained? Sorry, he really has no interest in it.
More than two hours later, an oblate aircraft appeared outside the porthole and slowly landed vertically.
Then the porthole flap began to lower, and a sweet sound sounded.
"This crew is about to take off. Please fasten your seat belts and do not move around."
Qu Jianlei was in a trance for a while, feeling a bit like taking a plane on Blue Star.
He actually wanted to ask, if you were flying like this... wouldn't you be afraid of encountering flying mutant beasts?
But in the end, he still chose to remain silent. If he wanted to assume the identity of Central City, he must be careful about "misfortune comes from his mouth".
The aircraft flew very steadily and made almost no noise, but the porthole panels were always blocked, so the outside scenery was not visible.
After flying for almost two hours, Xiao Qin next door couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up.
"Can you just keep sitting like this?"
Qu Jianlei slowly stopped his practice, opened his eyes, and replied in a deep voice, "You can practice in this kind of environment."
"It's really..." Xiao Qin curled his lips helplessly. Are you racing against time too much? "What a weirdo!"
The middle-aged man who had tried to strike up a conversation couldn't help but tremble again when he heard this conversation.
An hour or so later, a sweet voice announced that they had arrived at their destination and were descending.
There were no accidents during the entire flight, not even minor bumps.
Qu Jianlei felt that the technical level of this aircraft was definitely not low, and it could at least crush Blue Star's aircraft.
So, is Central City really retaining all the technology from before the apocalypse?
The landing speed was very fast. About ten minutes after the announcement, the aircraft landed, the window flaps opened, and the cabin door also opened.
Qu Jianlei and other passengers in the luxury cabin came out first, followed by their carry-on luggage.
He looked around and found that it was similar to Blue Star's airport. What was rare was that the sky was blue and the air quality was very good.???.
There was already a shuttle bus waiting in front, and everyone got on the shuttle bus and drove all the way to the building in the distance.
Tickets were required to be checked when leaving the airport, but after Qu Jianlei and Xiao Qin showed their certificates, the ticket inspector waved them through.
Xiao Qin parked a car in the parking lot outside the airport. It was actually an off-road vehicle. It looked shiny and full of urban atmosphere.
But what Qu Jianlei cares more about is the cityscape in the distance.
It's not the kind with many high-rise buildings, it feels more like the hollowed-out city on Blue Star.
There are high-rise buildings, but not many. Most of the buildings are four to six stories, and buildings above ten stories are not common.
Xiao Qin found him in the car observing the city, so he stuck his head out and said, "Get in the car... are you nostalgic?"
With her size, it's not inappropriate to drive an off-road vehicle.
Qu Jianlei put his backpack on the car, which made the entire off-road vehicle sink slightly. Xiao Qin subconsciously glanced at the dashboard.
"Oh my god, it's more than 800 kilograms... If you don't bring a certificate, the transportation fee alone will be enough to make you feel distressed."
Qu Jianlei sat on the passenger seat and asked aloud, "How much does it cost to buy an off-road vehicle like yours now?"
"More than three thousand," Xiao Qin replied lightly.
"Ordinary vehicles are cheaper, but due to the nature of the inspection office's work... off-road vehicles are just the minimum requirement."

Chapter 146 Private Customization (Second update to celebrate the cute sea lion)
Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Your salary is quite large... If you put it in Tianzi District, it would cost about two kilograms of gold."
"Gold is more expensive than you think in Central City," Xiao Qin replied casually, "One kilogram of gold is enough."
Qu Jianlei fell silent. Sure enough, the existence of the settlement below was for Central City to suck blood.
Thinking of this, he was in no mood to speak, but Xiao Qin asked, "Go to the place with the deed?"
"Thank you," Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, "I will pay the fare."
"Do I owe you this little gas money?" Xiao Qin snorted, "Please report the address of the land deed."
You have to return this favor later! Qu Jianlei casually reported the location of the land deed.
Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "That president... is really rich."
Later, Qu Jianlei learned that the land was close to the commercial district and the price was much higher than that of mid- to high-end residential buildings.
After driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived at our destination.
Qu Jianlei noticed that there were not many cars on the road, more motorcycles, but most were human-powered bicycles.
But when he arrived at the door of the store, he was a little confused, "What is this...seal?"
"Electromagnetic seal," Xiao Qin stepped out of the car, his face a little ugly, "I still have to apply for unsealing... what's going on!"
Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and said in shock, "What should I do with this procedure?"
"Let me handle it," Xiao Qin rubbed his forehead in distress, "You can only stay in the hotel today."
Qu Jianlei asked aloud, "Is there a hotel near the inspection office? It needs to be of similar quality."
There are too many valuables in his backpack, and he must not feel guilty about spending money at this time.
"Yes," Xiao Qin replied simply, "you'd better buy some more clothes or something else, otherwise you'll be easily interrogated."
The inspection office is more than twenty kilometers away from here, half an hour's drive, and that's assuming there's no traffic jam.
Six to seven hundred meters away from the inspection office, there is a high-end hotel, which is a group of buildings.
The floors are not very high, and the highest main building is only six floors, but it is surrounded by flowers and trees, and it looks very high-end at first glance.
When the doorman at the door saw Qu Jianlei's clothes, his face darkened slightly, as if he didn't want to receive him.
Xiao Qin stretched his wrist out of the car window and shook it twice. When the doorman saw the silver bracelet, his expression changed and he hurriedly jogged forward.
He raised his hand to pick up Qu Jianlei's backpack, but he almost lost his waist.
He lifted it hard again, his expression changed again, and he said with a wry smile, "Sir, your bag is a bit heavy."
Qu Jianlei picked up his bag with one hand and said expressionlessly, "I want to register for a better room, lead the way."
He booked a suite, and the price was only about forty silver dollars. For a moment, he felt that the consumption in Central City was not very expensive.
Putting his backpack in the room, he took a small bag and went out to do some shopping.
First I bought clothes, then I bought a map, then I got a haircut, and finally I bought some accessories.
He actually doesn't like these superficial articles, but if they appear too different, it will attract others' attention.
Then he discovered the fact that although Central City looked a bit old, it had a very rich life at night.
Under the flashing neon lights, dance halls, bars, hypermarkets, and night markets abound.
There are even people performing on the street, which is very lively.
However, there are a lot of cameras here. Although they are not as good as those in the lively cities of Blue Star, they are enough to scare Xiaoxiao.
Qu Jianlei had no interest in entertainment venues, but he entered a brightly lit store to see what else he wanted to buy.
Then he was shocked to find that he entered a high-end shopping mall, and a piece of clothing could be sold for four to five hundred... Who would dare to believe this?
When he was at Blue Star, he was not interested in famous brands.
However, considering that he wanted to live in Central City, he still bought several sets of clothes, which cost him several thousand in banknotes.
He was determined not to buy any decorations, so he turned around and walked out.
A slightly chubby young girl had been paying attention to him for a long time and walked up to him.
She showed what she thought was a sweet smile and said, "Hello, sir, do you need a private order?"
Her appearance is relatively recognized by the mainstream aesthetics in Central City, so she dared to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Qu Jianlei spent thousands of silver dollars just in this store. Who can't tell that he is a high-roller?
This money is more than enough to buy an off-road vehicle like Xiao Qin, but vehicles are tools and clothes are just daily necessities. Can they be compared?
Qu Jianlei stopped when he heard this and said thoughtfully, "What is this private order? Is it custom-made clothes?"
The girl was a little stunned, but she still nodded, "Customized clothes... are also possible, but they are very expensive."
"How expensive is it?" Qu Jianlei asked curiously. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his clothes generally don't fit well.
"This... I want to know something about it," the girl replied hesitantly, "What level of master are you looking for?"
Qu Jianlei was surprised at this, "Then this private customization of yours... what is it?"
The girl's eyes lit up, "Everything can be customized. As long as you have needs, I will solve it."
Qu Jianlei blinked and seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Are they all the requirements?"
"Yes," the girl nodded and said very simply, "I still have a car, you don't need to use your own car."
This rhetoric... is rather strange. Qu Jianlei vaguely guessed the other party's profession. Is he greedy for my body?
But he won't take the initiative to point it out. If he guesses wrong, won't he offend the other party?
So he asked directly, "Then how much does this customization cost?"
"One hundred silver dollars a day," the girl replied very simply, "I will pay for the car and myself, and you will pay for the rest."
Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "One hundred silver dollars...is it so expensive?"
"You can order a set meal," the girl replied without hesitation, "If you stay for three days, you'll get a 30% discount."
"50% off for more than five days, and 30% off for more than ten days."
Qu Jianlei thought for a while, nodded slightly, "Okay, let's start from now on?"
"If it's more than three days, you can get it tonight," the girl said without hesitation, "but you have to pay a deposit of twenty silver dollars."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei took out two ten silver dollar bills and handed them to the other party, "First, help me find a tailor who can alter my clothes."
"Tailor?" The girl was stunned, then nodded, "No problem, just wait here for twenty minutes."
She didn't take the bill, turned around and trotted away.
The clerk selling clothes looked at this scene with a strange expression and remained silent.
Not long after, the girl ran back and said, "I found it, but if you change the name brand, the processing fee will be 10% and 20% of the original price."
"This request is very reasonable," Qu Jianlei nodded, "but if the effect is not good, I will refuse to pay."
"No problem," the girl took the banknote and said seriously, "But whether the effect is good or not depends on your conscience."
"Of course," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly when he heard this, "The most important thing for me is conscience."
The next thing was simple. He made an appointment to modify his clothes and asked the girl to take him to buy a car the next day.
After buying the car, he found that he did not have a driver's license yet, so he asked the girl to take him to apply for a driver's license.
Then it’s time to get familiar with the various public libraries in Central City, and then taste the delicious food in Central City.
Almost ten years after traveling back in time, he finally had a chance to enjoy delicious food.
The girl's name is Qianrou. She is a little strange. Why does this person... not feel like someone from Central City?
She raised a question, and Qu Jianlei answered simply, "I left when I was a child and came back now, isn't it okay?"
"Of course," Qianrou didn't find this answer surprising.
The central city has seven residential areas under its jurisdiction, so it is impossible not to supervise them. There are actually a lot of expatriates, and there are also a lot of people with families.
So she discovered another business opportunity, "Can we also visit the scenic spots in our central city?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation. What he wants to do most now is to integrate into Central City as soon as possible.
So for this private customization, you really got the right one!
On the fifth day, his house was unsealed and he went through the house transfer procedures.
In fact, the reason for this matter is not that Xiao Qin didn't urge it to be handled. The key is that Qu Jianlei's temporary status still needs to be regularized.
Of course, Qianrou accompanied him through the series of formalities for becoming a regular employee.
When the house was finally transferred, Qianrou looked at him with a look of resentment.
"I knew you were rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich."
Qu Jianlei smiled, he spent two hundred and fifty for five days, which was really not a small amount, but he felt it was well worth the money.
His understanding of Central City has improved a lot, and all kinds of knowledge are intensively taught, which is really easy.
His brainpower is far superior to others, and the faster he can instill knowledge, the better. If he collects knowledge slowly, it would be a waste of time.
"Leave your watch number," Qu Jianlei immediately bought a watch after acquiring Central City's identity.
This thing is similar to a Blue Star mobile phone, more convenient than a mobile phone, but it can only be used within the central city.
And it doesn’t support video chat, and you can’t scan the QR code to pay, so it’s just a bit... that’s it.
"Leave your number...what are you going to do?" Qianrou looked at him strangely, "I've given you many opportunities in the past five days."
"What opportunity?" Qu Jianlei was a little stunned. In the past five days, the other party had indeed given him a lot of help.
But opportunities... where to start?
"You deserve to be single!" The girl turned around and left angrily.
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered his initial guess.
Then he shook his head dumbfounded, "I just want to order what I need, am I wrong? It's so... shallow!"
He was quite wary of Qianrou at the beginning - wasn't it arranged by the Inspectorate?
Later, he gradually relaxed. Blue Star also has a similar business, which is a "point-to-point service of high-priced tour guides."
But when he said this, Qianrou collided with another car on the street two kilometers away.
