"You two continue chatting," Flower Scorpion said, "Which direction should I head?" Bentley pointed in a direction, Flower Scorpion glanced at Qu Jianlei and, seeing no reaction from him, decisively turned the steering wheel. Qu Jianlei then remembered the question that was interrupted earlier. "Old Ben, these Residence Areas with names like Hong Character and Universe Character, how many are there in total?" "Seven, namely Celestial, Profound, Earthly, Yellow, Universe, Cosmic, and Hong." "Hmm?" Qu Jianlei was taken aback; this sequence was incredibly familiar to him. Especially the language of Wasteland, which differs from Blue Star, but the pronunciation of these words... is too peculiar. He couldn’t help but ask, "Is there no Desert Character Residence Area?" "Huh?" This time it was Bentley’s turn to be surprised. From the moment he met Qu Jianlei, to describing his experiences, and strongly responding to the Red Gold Team, he had always kept calm. In general, it was a kind of indifferent attitude towards worldly affairs, even though deep within he harbors deep-seated hatred. However, this question directly broke his composure. Through the opening in the hood, his eyes showed intense bewilderment. "How do you know there’s an ’Desert’ Character?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel•fire.net "That’s... inconvenient to say," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Everyone has some secrets, don’t they?" Bentley stared at him blankly without uttering a word, clearly concerned about this question. Qu Jianlei naturally lowered his eyelids, not out of guilt, but purely habitual. After a while, Bentley asked again, "Could there be more after ’Desert’ Character?" "There should be," Qu Jianlei answered ambiguously—after all, he couldn’t elaborate. Bentley paused for a moment, then visibly relaxed, "So you have some other encounter, your background is bigger than I thought." Qu Jianlei curiously asked him, "Do you really believe everything I say?" "Is there any need for you to deceive me?" Bentley replied casually, "My enemies are from the Desert Character Residence Area." Qu Jianlei blinked and patiently listened to the narrative. "Desert Character Residence Area was destroyed long ago, people nowadays absolutely don’t know such a Residence Area existed..." "If it weren’t for the enmity with the other party, I wouldn’t have accidentally known they’re descendants from the Desert District." Saying this, Bentley stared into Qu Jianlei’s eyes, "What comes after ’Desert’ Character?" "Haha," Qu Jianlei chuckled dryly without answering directly, but rather posed a question. "Celestial Profound and Earthly Yellow Universe Cosmic Hong Primordial Chaos... what’s the origin of these eight pronunciations?" Bentley didn’t mind but spoke to himself. "Because of the enemies, I was also curious about this matter, but others prohibited me from inquiring, supposedly it’s a top-secret topic." "Haha," Qu Jianlei let out a laugh with unclear meaning but remained silent afterward. Bentley didn’t force him and instead pursued another question, "Exactly how old are you this year?" "Sixteen... or seventeen?" Qu Jianlei wasn’t sure about his age either. Then he removed his mask, revealing his true face, "I really don’t have many memories of my childhood." "Indeed young," Bentley knew the person was not very old, but still found it hard to believe upon seeing him. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn’t help but mutter, "At your age... how is your mechanical repair expertise so advanced?" In the wanted notices, Sha Qu hadn’t even been exposed to mechanical repair knowledge two years ago. Bentley wasn’t quite convinced of that fact, yet, even if one started learning in the womb, it’s impossible to have such profound expertise at sixteen or seventeen, right?
