Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 583 - 453: Not Durable (Second Update)

Little Hu heard Qu Jianlei say this, and her big eyes, taking up a third of her head, were suddenly filled with tears.

"It's just the serious version, you killed two A-level... that woman had a pretty good computer."

"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, and finally remembered they were two assassins disguised as psychological consultants.

Especially that woman, who was indeed skilled in electronic matters.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you talking about that code breaker?"

"That was a small super brain, okay?" The tears in Little Hu's eyes grew bigger.

"You just need to try opening it, then you'll find... it's much stronger than the average server on Blue Star."

Qu Jianlei didn't acknowledge this accusation, "I threw it into the storage ring... a closed sub-space."

"I know the storage ring," the tears in Big Head Butterfly's eyes gradually disappeared, "how many immortal cultivation books have you read?"

You guy... Qu Jianlei was too lazy to argue with an AI, "I'm worried there might be a backdoor in it."

The cartoon butterfly spoke softly, "Why are you afraid when I'm here?"

"I didn't know you woke up?" Qu Jianlei muttered a sentence and then asked, "Is there something wrong with this helmet too?"

Little Hu responded, "The issue is not major, just a verification step; however, the central control on the opposite side will take some time to crack."

"Central control?" Qu Jianlei repeated softly, then asked aloud, "Isn't it an intelligence brain?"

"Not really an intelligence brain," Little Hu replied calmly, "at least two generations inferior to an intelligence brain."

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then asked, "Should I take out the small terminal now?"

"Better find a place with no network," Little Hu replied, "in case there's a backdoor, I'll handle it first."

"Alright," Qu Jianlei exited the holographic helmet, and after closing it, he went to a storage room.

The storage room was small, just seven or eight square meters, and unlike other rooms, it didn't have communication cables.

Qu Jianlei set up a metal tent and crawled inside, which was standard shielding equipment.

Then he took out the small box, about the size of a thirty-two paged book and two centimeters thick.

After powering it on, the image of the cartoon butterfly appeared,

slowly rotating twice, and a soft voice emitted from the box.

"This time you did well, it indeed has the function of sending data regularly, probably as a contingency left by the opponent."

Qu Jianlei spoke solemnly, "How long will it take to fix it?"

"It's already fixed," Little Hu replied lazily, "I'm optimizing the software structure, it'll take about five minutes."

Qu Jianlei knew it had multi-threading capability and wasn't worried about affecting its work.

"Once it's fixed, can you copy the Array information onto this device?"

"Sure," Little Hu replied casually, "but the device is still lacking, when you have time later... Oh crap!"

With this "Oh crap" sound, a puff of blue smoke emitted from the box, followed by a burnt smell.

Next moment, the cartoon butterfly reappeared in Qu Jianlei's mind, "This thing is too fragile."

Qu Jianlei was speechless, you merely changed the software and managed to make the device short-circuit?

As if guessing what he was thinking, Little Hu expressed grievances, "That's why I didn't wake up in your mind."

"Okay, I got it," Qu Jianlei crawled out of the tent, "I'll go buy a smart terminal, any requirements?"

Little Hu answered without hesitation, "Of course, the higher the configuration, the better!"

Qu Jianlei really hadn't paid attention to smart terminals, thinking he'd always neglected its platform needs, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But then he thought, wasn't the management system in Old City Library also a terminal?

"When I was at the library, why didn't you enter that terminal?"

"At that time, my capability was not enough," Little Hu replied, "after absorbing the energy from broken Hairpin... its configuration was low again."

"Got it," Qu Jianlei held the small box, which still emitted a burnt smell.

"So, is the configuration of this box considered high?"

"The configuration of this is rather poor," Little Hu replied softly, "it can't be worse than this."

Qu Jianlei took the box and found Shari, "Sis, my terminal is broken, do you know where to buy one?"

Shari was genuinely enthusiastic, "Come, I'll introduce someone to you, who specializes in repairing terminals."

The one who repaired the terminal was a teaching assistant, whose home was a repair shop, various parts filled two rooms.

Seeing the terminal in Qu Jianlei's hands, this person's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Pioneer sixth generation? Good stuff... let me power it on and see, how much did you buy it for?"

Good stuff? Qu Jianlei felt a bit uneasy, "No need to fix it, do you know where it's sold?"

"It's hard to buy this kind of thing," the assistant shook his head, "not to mention it's powerful, the key is it's portable."

After chatting a bit more, Qu Jianlei realized this type of terminal is controlled material.

Of course, there are terminals with stronger processing capabilities than this one, but they are all large machines and not convenient to carry.

The control isn't very strict, but on Star No. 4, it's impossible to buy this thing from a store.

As the assistant says, even in Blue Star's Core Star Realm, getting this kind of equipment requires various permissions.

Qu Jianlei shook his head in disappointment, "Looks like... we need to get a large machine?"

"I don't want a large machine," a soft voice from Little Lake echoed in his mind, "it's too inconvenient to carry."

The primary issue is not having a stable base yet! Qu Jianlei sighed softly; if there was a stable environment, of course, large machines would be better.

The assistant looked at him curiously, "What kind of work do you do... that you need such an advanced terminal?"

"I need to run some data," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "terminals with a lower configuration can't handle it."

The assistant nodded, not too curious, "Do you want me to set up a large machine for you?"

"Let's wait on the large machine," Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, "Can you buy a portable terminal with a higher configuration than this one?"

"That's just a matter of money," the assistant laughed upon hearing this, "as long as the money is right, anything is possible."

Shari spoke up, "Hey, the Panda is an assistant from Star No. 2, you really are willing to earn any money."

The assistant could only smile wryly, "Sis, considering you're the one who brought him, how could I possibly quote a random price?"

Shari nodded upon hearing this, "The Panda is indeed quite good, he repairs terminals for teachers and students at reasonable prices."

While they were talking, the assistant had already opened the box, "Oh man, this can't be fixed... Mostly because it's not worth it."

He then looked up at Qu Jianlei, "This piece of junk... do you want to sell it? I'll buy it."

Qu Jianlei blinked, "How much will you pay?"

"The selling price for a new one should be around five hundred thousand, I'm talking about the market price," the assistant confidently quoted.

"The official price is supposed to be over two hundred thousand, but for this piece of junk... at most I'll give you fifteen thousand."

Qu Jianlei wasn't thinking about fifteen thousand, he shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to sell... How much for a higher configuration model?"

The assistant replied, "If money is not an issue, the Pioneer series has a Generation Seven enhanced version..."

"It's roughly ninety to ninety-five thousand, the market fluctuates; I'll have to inquire, but it should be under a hundred thousand."

"Oh my," Shari gasped upon hearing this, "A terminal costs this much?"

"Sis, that's only because we have the academy's backing," the assistant explained helplessly.

"In society, forget ninety-five thousand; you definitely won't get it for a hundred thousand, at least one hundred and twenty thousand, and you need connections."

He then looked at Qu Jianlei, "For portable terminals that run data, the security level is definitely very high, am I right?"

Qu Jianlei nodded helplessly, his face not looking too good because Little Lake indicated, "I don't want the Pioneer series!"

He asked earnestly, "Is there anything with a higher configuration? As for money, I can think of a way."

He initially wanted to say money wasn't an issue, but now he's already scared—this thing costs more money than cultivation.

However, the other party wasn't wrong; a portable terminal that can run data is actually considered specialized equipment.

The assistant thought for a moment and replied, "If money really isn't a problem, go for the Vortex series, around eight to nine hundred thousand..."

"However, definitely no stock; it must be custom ordered, and it'll take about a month or so."

Nearly a million for equipment, Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched slightly, "Why do I suddenly feel so poor?"

"What do you mean poor?" a voice interrupts, it's Xiang Xue and Aunt Liu arriving, "Isn't today the day to eat at your place?"

Qu Jianlei's cooking skills are actually pretty average.

But he loves gourmet food and bought many seasonings, and after some research, he came up with some decent recipes.

So the other three women agreed to drop by his house for a meal every three days.

They bring the ingredients themselves, and Qu Jianlei just provides the seasonings... and the preparation.

Bellini wanted to come for food and drink too, but Qu Jianlei outright refused.

It's not that he bears grudges, but being with the three women, he dares to eat spirit beast meat; with Bellini, it's really inconvenient.

So, every time there's a gathering, Zi Jiu Immortal would pack some and take it back for Bellini to eat.

"I want to buy a portable terminal," Qu Jianlei answered seriously, "Vortex series... and it surprisingly costs eight to nine hundred thousand."

"Eight to nine hundred... okay, pretend I didn't ask," Xiang Xue is someone who isn't short of money, and even she got startled by the price.

But soon after, her curiosity piqued, "What do you need such an expensive terminal for, and it has to be portable?"

"To run data," Qu Jianlei answered casually and then asked, "Is there anything with slightly lower configuration..."

Couldn't continue speaking, as teary-eyed cartoon butterflies appeared again.

"That's the Baofeng series," the assistant replied seriously, "around three to four hundred thousand, depending on the specific configuration."

"Sob sob," Little Lake started crying in Qu Jianlei's mind, "The Baofeng series... sounds unfriendly."

"I don't want it!"
