Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 256: Time Traveler’s Way of Making Money

At home on Xingshu Road, Nangeng Chen noticed Qing Chen secretly glancing at his communicator when no one was paying attention, then he frowned.

“What’s wrong, Brother Chen?” Nangeng Chen asked.

“The group of spoiled brats from the next class are going to prison. They carried money to find Liu Dezhu this morning, wanting Liu Dezhu to take care of them in prison,” Qing Chen said.

“Ah?” Nangeng Chen was stunned: “How much money?”

“3 million. It’s a considerable sum for us,” Qing Chen said: “But I’ve already had Liu Dezhu refuse. After all, he’s already out of prison. Making money and extorting money are different.”

“Oh, that’s a little regrettable,” Nangeng Chen muttered: “Xiao Tongyun and I can’t carry back many gold bars from the Outer World at one time. It would take more than ten trips to make up the 3 million.”

“Yeah,” Qing Chen nodded: “I feel a little sorry for the 3 million too.”

“But Brother Chen, you’ve already had Liu Dezhu refuse, why are you still frowning? This isn’t like you,” Nangeng Chen said.

Qing Chen pondered: “I’m thinking about a problem.”

“Whether or not to send Liu Dezhu back to 10# Prison,” Qing Chen said calmly.

Nangeng Chen: “??? ”

Liu Dezhu, upon hearing this, exclaimed, “An expert!”

Nangeng Chen thought Qing Chen was still feeling sorry for the money, but Qing Chen was weighing whether the benefits of sending Liu Dezhu back to prison were greater, or the benefits of letting Liu Dezhu stay in City 18 were greater…

“Brother Chen, so how did you decide?” Nangeng Chen weakly asked.

“Forget it, let’s leave him outside,” Qing Chen sighed: “C-level combat power is what we urgently need now.”

At this moment, a knock came from the door.

But the other party wasn’t knocking on 102, where Qing Chen and the others were, but on 101, the door opposite.

“Xiao Chen, it’s Mom, open the door,” Zhang Wanfang said from the hallway.

Qing Chen was stunned. He stood calmly inside the door, looking at the opposite side through the peephole.

Zhang Wanfang and her current husband were carrying yogurt and fruit, as if they were visiting a guest, standing outside Room 101.

Zhang Wanfang probably didn’t know yet that Qing Guozhong had sold the house.

“Strange, where did Xiao Chen go? Isn’t he home?” Zhang Wanfang looked puzzled.

The middle-aged man beside her said: “He may have gone to school. Let’s go, it’s a little late for work.”

“No, Xiao Chen suddenly deleted my WeChat and blocked my phone number. Something must have happened. I think he’s at home, but he just doesn’t want to see me,” Zhang Wanfang said.

The middle-aged man gently patted her back: “Nothing will happen. If something really happens, his father will call you. Let’s go, there’s a conference call to attend later, which is related to the business on the other side of the ocean. Tomorrow the two of us have to go to the Capital, and then fly over there. Let’s talk about everything when we get back, okay?”

Qing Chen knew that this middle-aged man was good at persuading Zhang Wanfang with a gentle tone, and what Zhang Wanfang needed was just a reason.

Zhang Wanfang hesitated, she looked at the iron door of Room 101: “Xiao Chen, I’ve put the yogurt and fruit at the door. Remember to take them in.”

Then the two left, placing the yogurt and fruit at the door and walking to the car outside the building without looking back.

The car was a Mercedes-Benz, and one thing was certain: Zhang Wanfang’s life was getting better and better.

Inside the house, Nangeng Chen looked at Qing Chen: “Brother Chen, you…”

“It’s okay,” Qing Chen calmly shook his head: “It’s broken, it’s broken. If there are still emotional fluctuations, it means it’s not broken cleanly enough.”

From the moment he climbed Qingshan Cliff, he completely severed ties with his past life.

Otherwise, the surging sunrise and emotions on Qingshan Cliff would also be fake.

No regrets.

“Oh,” Nangeng Chen said: “It’s good that you’re okay.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: “The residence on Xingshu Road is a bit conspicuous now. I’m considering saving money to buy a residence, so that the Daybreak members can look after each other.”

Previously, Jiang Xue exposed her identity, so someone discovered this Time Traveler’s residence on Xingshu Road through the media.

Moreover, Qing Chen also had to consider a problem. If he continued to live on Xingshu Road, in the future, when Qing Guozhong was released from prison, or when his mother, Zhang Wanfang, came to find him, there would be unnecessary trouble.

Since he said he wanted to sever ties with his family, he should do it cleanly.

“We need to make money,” Qing Chen said: “We need to accumulate wealth faster in the Outer World.”

For Qing Chen, accumulating wealth wasn’t for buying houses, cars, or RVs, but to provide logistical support for the Daybreak organization.

To allow everyone to travel between the Inner and Outer Worlds without being burdened by money.

Moreover, Qing Chen’s future challenges in the Trials of Life and Death would also be very expensive.

But how to make money?

Qing Chen looked at Nangeng Chen: “I saw you swiping your phone all night last night. Are there any examples of Time Travelers making money online?”

“Yes,” Nangeng Chen said: “Selling information is one way, but I don’t know how they do it. In terms of civilian commercial directions, someone developed a universal remote control, which is particularly popular.”

“What? A universal remote control?” Qing Chen was stunned.

“Oh, I don’t know what the principle is either, but it can remotely turn off the speakers of the square dancing grandmas within 200 meters,” Nangeng Chen explained: “It’s said that a group of grandmas who dance square dances in the Capital are going crazy. This thing seems to not only be able to turn off the speakers, but also to directly switch the music in the speakers. That group of grandmas were dancing a folk dance, and suddenly the speakers started playing…”

Qing Chen: “??? ”

Nangeng Chen lowered his voice: “This thing is selling like hotcakes on JD.com now, but it’s also something that’s been played out in the Inner World…”

Qing Chen: “…”

He still underestimated the nature of Time Travelers. First, there was introducing rich women, and then there was harming square dancing grandmas. These business opportunities were actually found by them!

Amazing!

Qing Chen was thinking, what should they use to make money? Or rather, what can Daybreak do to achieve the goal of rapid wealth accumulation?

He didn’t want to engage in ordinary production and operation. It’s not that he looked down on it, but too many business-related matters would distract Daybreak from mundane affairs.

Making Daybreak an organization that specializes in selling intelligence seems like a good choice, but he thinks he should be more cautious and have a small meeting with other members of Daybreak before making a decision.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said to Nangeng Chen: “Now that we have our own data protection measures, we should build a ‘Daybreak’ group chat of our own, so that we can communicate with each other using our mobile phones without attracting attention by carrying communicators.”

Nangeng Chen’s eyes lit up: “That’s right!”

…

…

When the two arrived at school, they suddenly found that almost all the female students were gathered at the school gate.

A black nanny car came, and before the door opened, the girls all surrounded it, shouting Jiang Yichen’s name.

Qing Chen and Nangeng Chen looked at each other and continued walking into the school as if nothing had happened.

Nangeng Chen muttered: “Such a high-profile Time Traveler, isn’t he afraid of getting into trouble?”

“Have you heard of such a person in the Inner World?” Qing Chen asked.

“No,” Nangeng Chen shook his head.

“He’s so high-profile in the Outer World, but he’s not well-known in the Inner World. You haven’t even heard anything about him. Isn’t that unusual?” Qing Chen said.

“Brother Chen, do you mean he has a problem?” Nangeng Chen curiously asked: “Didn’t Liu Dezhu say that he’s just an ordinary person in the Inner World?”

“An ordinary person with such high popularity would have been identified by Time Travelers controlled by the Conglomerate a long time ago. So I suspect that he may also be one of the Time Travelers controlled by the Conglomerate,” Qing Chen calmly analyzed: “If he’s just an ordinary Time Traveler, why wouldn’t he stay in the Capital if he wanted to cling to a powerful person, but instead go to great lengths to transfer to Luo City? Now, there are several known powerful Time Travelers in the Capital, and the headquarters of Nine Provinces is also there. There’s no need to come to Luo City.”

Qing Chen continued: “Recently, City 18 has been full of intrigue. We must be more careful about suspicious people appearing in Luo City. Those Time Travelers who can survive to this day are not fools… except for that group of spoiled brats.”

“Then Brother Chen, do you think he’s a Time Traveler from which Conglomerate?” Nangeng Chen asked.

“Li Clan, Chen Family, Qing Family, Koshima, Shendai, all are possible,” Qing Chen guessed nonchalantly: “But this has nothing to do with us.”

“What has to do with us?” Nangeng Chen asked.

“Time Travelers carrying Forbidden Artifacts have to do with us.”

Nangeng Chen: “…”

“Wait.”

At this time, Qing Chen suddenly searched for information about Jiang Yichen on his phone.

From the other party’s work achievements, to the other party’s acting career awards, and finally to the other party’s recent itinerary.

“Brother Chen, didn’t you say he has nothing to do with us? Why are you still searching for him?” Nangeng Chen was puzzled.

Qing Chen looked up and said: “In the past month and a half, he hasn’t been to Japan, but he has been to Busan, Korea, and attended an awards ceremony there. Therefore, the suspicion that he is working for Koshima cannot be ruled out.”

“Ah?” Nangeng Chen was surprised. He knew that the things Qing Chen suspected would most likely be confirmed to be true.

Qing Chen looked at Nangeng Chen: “If he’s working for Koshima or Shendai, then it has to do with us, it has to do with each and every one of us.”

Nangeng Chen still had doubts: “People from our country shouldn’t work for Koshima or Shendai.”

“Don’t underestimate the power of interests,” Qing Chen said as he walked into the classroom. In fact, he was also thinking, if Jiang Yichen was really a person from Koshima, then why did he come to Luo City?

At this time, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen were already there. The two of them glanced at Qing Chen and greeted him warmly.

In the eyes of other students, Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, Qing Chen, and Nangeng Chen were completely four unrelated people, but in fact, only they themselves knew that they all belonged to the same organization.

Hu Xiaoniu watched Qing Chen sit down beside him, and suddenly said: “Qing Chen, the Boss just told Tianzhen and me that you are also a member of Daybreak, and you are our senior. This is a gift we prepared for you. Please take care of us.”

Speaking, Hu Xiaoniu took out a box from her schoolbag. Qing Chen recognized the logo on the box, Rolex…

He suddenly thought of a question. Since the organization has tycoons like Hu Xiaoniu, do they still need to consider how to make money?

However, Qing Chen still pushed the watch back: “Thank you, no need.”
