When Bentley returned, his face was full of wind and frost, but his mental state was good.
He brought back three vials of second-generation Genetic Transformation Potion, along with ten vials of third-generation Transformation Potion.
The second-generation Genetic Potion was obtained by chance, while the third-generation had some stock in Central City.
As for the first-generation Genetic Transformation Potion, there really was none left.
Except for some laboratories that might have samples, one could only try their luck in the Gathering Area below.
However, the side effects of the first-generation are too severe, Qu Jianlei doesn't recommend Flower Scorpion use it.
Back then, he was forced to inject it, having no choice. If Flower Scorpion chooses the first-generation, what if something goes wrong?
Besides that, Bentley also brought back three pieces of B-level Crystal.
Their finances are now basically combined, except for a small amount of personal property, most are counted together.
Bentley didn't hold back, he took out the Crystals and boasted proudly, "I haven't been sitting idle."
Qu Jianlei felt a bit puzzled, curiously asked, "Where did you get them from?"
Bentley replied coolly, "From an enemy's house."
Flower Scorpion was aware of his situation and couldn't help but ask, "Did you go for revenge?"
"Picked a small target," Bentley replied in a low voice, "The key is if I don't act, the guy will die of old age."
Qu Jianlei thought a bit more, "Will your action make them think of past grievances?"
"Probably not," Bentley shook his head, "I just pretended it was a home invasion, and conveniently took the Crystals."
Flower Scorpion asked again, "Only got the Crystals, nothing like silver coins?"
Bentley casually replied, "Large sum silver coin deposit certificates require passwords and identity matching, can't use them."
"I got some small silver notes, just over two thousand, all spent on the black market for cultivation resources."
Flower Scorpion's eyes lit up upon hearing, "How much longer until you break through to B-level?"
Bentley hesitated a moment, then smiled bitterly, "B-level... as Xiaoqu said, it's probably a lifelong goal."
"But now I can maintain my state, having made some progress in the electromagnetic aspect, I'm already quite satisfied."
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, "As for complete revenge, I'll still have to rely on you."
Qu Jianlei, upon hearing this, gave a thumbs up, "Old Ben is good, at least he hasn't gotten complacent."
Bentley rolled his eyes at that, "I'd like to get complacent, but my strength doesn't allow it, I'm not a young buck anymore."
Qu Jianlei remembered Dai Xingyan's commission, "Then you get some rest, next month we'll head to Houjing together."
Bentley rolled his eyes, "That Council President matter?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei nodded, "It's been seven months already, no need to wait a full year."
"I can go alone," Bentley straightforwardly expressed.
"Old man, don't overdo it," Flower Scorpion was unhappy, "So you're the only one who can fight, and the boss and I are useless?"
Bentley hesitated for a moment, but ultimately answered seriously.
"Actually, after entering Ultimate Warrior, I realize Modified Warriors aren't worth mentioning, I'd be more efficient alone."
Flower Scorpion glanced at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, he's basically saying we drag him down."
"I just think there's no need to mobilize everybody," Bentley answered seriously, "You two staying at home creating wealth isn't good?"
Qu Jianlei didn't mind this, his focus was, "How big is the chance?"
Bentley's response was straightforward, "A bit bigger than all of us going together."
"Then you should go," Qu Jianlei wouldn't fight for fame, "But be careful, don't be careless."
"Not a big problem," Bentley answered confidently, "But you, stop just writing articles all day, if you're making money, make big money!"
And indeed, this guy was back in the city by the third day, continuing to pull business for Qu Jianlei.
You can see the economic pressure this small group is under is quite significant.
Half a month later, Flower Scorpion finally stumbled into the entry level, and spent another ten days adjusting and adapting.
Bentley stayed for a little over a month, then disappeared again.
This time a lot of people couldn't hold back, several came directly to find Qu Jianlei.
——Terry took our deposit but you haven't started the repairs, what's going on.
Qu Jianlei could only state, as long as there's a receipt from Terry, I'll acknowledge it, there's no need to worry.
But lately he definitely can't go out, Flower Scorpion's cultivation has only just begun, he must be prepared as a Dharma Protector.
With Bentley gone for more than a month again, even Dai Xingyan couldn't hold back and came knocking.
She could guess what "Terry" was up to, but what she cares about now is——Jian Lei hasn't published for almost three months.
Used to the efficiency of publishing an article every few months, seeing consecutive blanks, the President can't take it.
Her performance gained the recognition of Houjing's upper management, she is currently striving for more subsidies, how could she drop the ball at this critical moment?
But Qu Jianlei expressed he couldn't help, as he really has no time to write.
Ultimately, it's because they're offering too little, not enough respect for knowledge.
Dai Xingyan didn't want to push him, bluntly asked: When will you have time?
Qu Jianlei thought of Bentley's complaints, answered earnest: Within the next year, probably no time.
The President wanted to say something, but it turned into a long sigh.
Three days later, Bentley returned, this time injured, with a fracture in his right arm.
This time he went to Houjing, and the reason he hadn't acted was because it hadn't rained——Houjing's security is very good.
