Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 327: Shendai Kongyin of the North

The world brightened again.

Qing Chen was still sitting in the living room of the villa, and so was Luo Wanya.

Before this time travel, Luo Wanya had taken the initiative to come to the villa as a hostage, fearing that Daybreak would not be willing to save him.

Now he was finally free.

"Benefactor! From now on, I, Little Luo, will swear to follow Daybreak to my death, going through fire and water without hesitation! If I betray you, feel free to give me three stabs and six holes, I'll have no complaints!" Luo Wanya's first act upon returning to the villa was to grab Qing Chen's arm.

Although Daybreak's Boss wasn't here, he judged that Qing Chen was the person in Daybreak whose position was second only to the Boss.

So, there was nothing wrong with thanking Qing Chen.

Qing Chen sat calmly in his chair: "Speak properly, don't use those underworld tricks, and not everyone who wants to follow Daybreak can."

In the past,

Luo Wanya might have thought that Qing Chen said this to suppress his momentum and raise Daybreak's status.

But now Luo Wanya wouldn't think so. He knew very well what kind of power Daybreak had in the Inner World, and that Daybreak was indeed not something anyone could join if they wanted to.

At this time, Luo Wanya cautiously looked at Qing Chen: "I've got two Time Travelers under my wing, one 22 and one 32. The younger one is a recent college graduate, and the older one is a tour guide. Neither of them is of much use to Daybreak. Would you mind handing them over to me? I'll put them to work."

Qing Chen looked at Luo Wanya: "What do you plan to do?"

"Whatever Daybreak wants me to do," Luo Wanya said.

Qing Chen said without hesitation: "The Boss has already given instructions on your arrangements. He needs you to fill Daybreak's intelligence gap in the black market. Xiaoniu, Tianzhen, Zhuzi, the three of you shouldn't help him for now. The Boss wants to see what he's capable of."

Luo Wanya was excited. As the saying goes, "a good beginning makes a good ending". This start was enough: "I, Little Luo, will definitely give the Boss a surprise!"

"Go back and rest."

Qing Chen watched Luo Wanya's departing back, and suddenly felt a little anticipation as to how much this "Mr. Luo", who had been wandering the "jiang hu", would achieve with his "Home Families".

At this time, Luo Wanya walked out of the villa, and his driver was still at the door: "Mr. Luo, you're finally out. Are you alright?"

"Don't call me Mr. Luo," Luo Wanya lowered his voice: "From today onwards, call me by my name. Tell the brothers the same thing; you must call me by my name."

"Why?" the driver wondered.

Luo Wanya said: "I have a new Boss now. If this Boss hears you still calling me Mr. Luo, what will he think?"

"Then we'll call you Mr. Luo in private, and your name in public," the driver said.

"Nonsense!" Luo Wanya was annoyed: "The habit of calling me by my name must be maintained even in private. One set of words in front of people, and another set behind their backs; if someone finds out, it will be even more embarrassing! Be careful! Have you been with me for so many years and don't even understand this simple truth?"

"Oh..." the driver replied.

Luo Wanya was a ruthless man, and even more ruthless to himself.

At his age, he was almost half buried in the ground, but for survival, he abandoned his dialect, which he had spoken for most of his life, and insisted on learning Mandarin, and he actually learned it well.

This isn't something everyone can do.

"By the way, go gather all our brothers who are Time Travelers and tell them that I'm going to take them to do great things," Luo Wanya said: "Now we have 12 Time Traveler brothers, right? That's enough!"

At this moment, Luo Wanya was excited. The Outer World was a law-abiding world, and people like him had always been difficult to achieve their ambitions, feeling somewhat out of time.

All those years, he was either dodging trouble, or on his way to dodging trouble.

But the Inner World was different. There, life was cheap, and everyone lived a precarious life. This was the most suitable era for someone like him.

At this time, the driver said: "Mr. Luo... Luo Wanya, the villa next door is still empty. Would you like to buy it and live closer to them?"

"No," Luo Wanya shook his head: "It's unnecessary."

"Why? Don't you want to join them? Or is the house too expensive?" the driver curiously asked.

"You don't understand anything. Do I need that money? It's just that before I join them, I live so close to them, it might make them dislike me. Keeping a distance is fine at this time. When they let you get closer, you get closer. When they don't let you get closer, you just honestly stay away, accumulate your own strength to prove yourself, and do everything according to their arrangements. Don't be too opinionated," Luo Wanya said.

It has to be said that Luo Wanya, having been in the Jianghu for half his life, has already seen through the ways of the world.

Hu Xiaoniu, thanks to her good father, understood some truths.

Liu Dezhu, after enduring several harsh lessons from life, understood some truths.

But they were still not as good as Luo Wanya.

Because those were the truths of life that Luo Wanya had finally understood after half a lifetime of mixing around.

Among these truths of life, there is a very important one: "One must have great ambition to reach the heavens, but one cannot succeed without luck."

One must have a benefactor in life, and now, Daybreak's Boss was his benefactor.

Luo Wanya thought for a moment: "Although we can't buy this house yet, we can't let others buy it either. Go and talk to the buyer first, and ask them not to sell it to anyone else."

"How should I talk?" the driver asked.

Luo Wanya was heartbroken: "We've been washing our hands clean of the world for so long, do we still need to ask this question? Besides, who among those who can buy a house here is a good person? Pay the deposit first, then delay for a month or two."

In Luo Wanya's view, he must perform well and strive to gain the qualification to join Daybreak within two months.

As for how to perform, it will depend on his Home Families.

...

...

In the living room of the villa, Qing Chen, Hu Xiaoniu, Nangeng Chen, Liu Dezhu, and others were sitting.

Jiang Xue smiled and said: "Everyone must be waiting to return. You haven't eaten, have you? I bought the groceries before I traveled, and I'll make some supper for everyone now."

Liu Dezhu was almost moved to tears. This was the organization. Everyone lived together, and there was a gentle older sister making supper.

Qing Chen looked at Jiang Xue: "Where's Xiao Tongyun? Is she asleep?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said: "She's not a Time Traveler, so she goes to bed early. She's probably still asleep now."

Everyone's phones rang, the Daybreak group.

Little Rich Woman sent a message: "Everyone's back, right? Anything new? Autumn Snow, are you alright?"

Qing Chen understood...

After each return, the fixed program was the exchange in the Daybreak group and the He Xiaoxiao group.

If Xiao Tongyun came down to the living room to chat and use her phone, she would be discovered and beaten up in minutes.

So, this little girl simply pretended to be asleep and chatted in her room.

At this time, Xiao Tongyun couldn't possibly be sleeping; she was wide awake...

In the group, Liu Dezhu hesitated for a long time before finally asking: "Boss, after we saved Luo Wanya the night before last, something big seems to have happened in District 4 again?"

Boss: "Hmm."

Glacial Eyes: "What happened? I was in the Ban Shan Mountain Estate before, and the 081 Garrison surrounded the entire estate, and the news was cut off."

Qing Chen sat on the sofa, switching between two accounts freely. He glanced at Liu Dezhu opposite him, but found that the other party had a look of distress, as if constipated.

He wanted to ask something, but didn't dare to.

This guy didn't know at all that the "Boss' had already seen his expression.

The attack on Li Changqing, although the media couldn't report it, how could the local residents of City 18 not know about it?

The mainstream media didn't allow it to be reported, but related topics appeared everywhere on the internet.

From the night before last, Liu Dezhu and Hu Xiaoniu began to discuss: could this sniper be their Boss?

After all, the Boss had just shown his miracle with a sniper rifle the night before, and they were the ones who felt it most deeply.

Liu Dezhu: "I heard that Li Changqing, a big shot from the Li Clan, was ambushed and almost died, and then a particularly powerful sniper appeared and killed many people in one go, saving Li Changqing."

Boss: "Hmm."

Liu Dezhu's expression became even more distressed: "Boss, was the sniper who suddenly appeared in City 18 the night before last you?"

Boss: "It was me."

Liu Dezhu: "Boss is awesome! Boss is forever the God!"

Qing Chen looked up at Liu Dezhu, but saw this guy excitedly dancing and said to Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen: "See, I told you it was the Boss! Only the Boss could be so powerful. Snipers are rare, how could so many powerful snipers suddenly appear!"

Qing Chen: "..."

But Liu Dezhu continued: "I saw some people explaining online that the Boss's shooting point was in the Jinmao Building. The people upstairs heard the gunshots very close, and those snipers who assassinated Li Changqing were all over two thousand meters away. The Boss killed them all with one shot each! Awesome! From now on, I'll be the Boss's most loyal fan! But, Boss, why did you save Li Changqing? Is it because of this woman... I heard that Li Changqing is very beautiful, and some say she is the Green Bamboo Leaf Snake in the intelligence world, beautiful and vicious."

Nangeng Chen and Jiang Xue, who knew Qing Chen's true identity, stared blankly at Liu Dezhu, who was dancing with excitement, and thought to themselves that this silly child was going to be socially destroyed, almost surpassing Nangeng Chen's social death skills.

Your Boss is sitting in front of you listening to you gossip about him...

Jiang Xue was afraid that Liu Dezhu would continue, so she smiled and called everyone: "The food is ready, come and eat."

But at this moment, the doorbell rang at the villa.

Liu Dezhu cautiously went to open the door, and even Qing Chen stood up.

After opening the door, Zhang Chengze was standing outside looking anxious. He looked at Liu Dezhu: "Is... is the Boss here?"

Liu Dezhu curiously asked: "What are you doing here so late at night? Our Boss doesn't live here."

"It's like this," Zhang Chengze hesitated for a moment and said: "I've also gathered some Time Travelers from my company. No other meaning, just in case the Boss has any instructions, we can do it, and we guarantee cooperation."

"Got it, go back," Liu Dezhu said.

After closing the door, Liu Dezhu wondered: "What's wrong with this old boy?"

Zhang Tianzhen pushed his glasses and said: "I hinted to him in the Inner World that Daybreak doesn't intend to carry so many burdens. Luo Wanya is capable and knows his place, so he might be more suitable for our protection requirements."

Qing Chen immediately understood.

Zhang Tianzhen actually secretly promoted the internal competition between Zhang Chengze and Luo Wanya...

No wonder Luo Wanya and Zhang Chengze expressed their loyalty one after another late at night.

Zhang Tianzhen said: "After all, Daybreak is just starting, and the Boss also needs some peripheral assistants, so he doesn't have to do everything himself. Some things he can't do, so let me do it. I'll do the bad things, and the Boss will have nothing to do with it."

Qing Chen sighed, Zhang Tianzhen was indeed a talent he had underestimated before.

The crowd gathered around the table to eat supper, and Qing Chen asked: "What's your cultivation progress?"

Liu Dezhu said: "Without Qing Chen to guide us into meditation, we have to try for a long time before we can enter the state, so our cultivation progress is delayed."

Qing Chen looked at Nangeng Chen: "What about you?"

Nangeng Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "I've lit up all the Bright Points of the Great Zhoutian."

Qing Chen: "..."

Suddenly, everyone at the dinner table fell silent.

Zhang Tianzhen and Liu Dezhu were still far from completing the Great Zhoutian, and Nangeng Chen's talent wasn't much better than theirs, so how could her cultivation suddenly be so fast?!

"Take care of your body," Qing Chen said meaningfully.

Nangeng Chen was about to cry: "I want to, but Li Yino is a martial arts fanatic, and she's particularly focused on anything related to cultivation, and I can't beat her."

Hu Xiaoniu and the others were puzzled when they heard this. What was going on? They couldn't understand.

Qing Chen silently mourned for Nangeng Chen for two seconds before opening He Xiaoxiao's group chat.

But he saw that Rebel King had posted important information as soon as he returned: "Everyone, the Li Clan is probably going to have a big problem. Last night, Li Yunmu, the commander of the first-level army corps of the Federation, suddenly left the army on a Class A main Airship, probably to return to City 18 for the funeral."

Li Si: "It seems that the Li Clan is really going to have a big problem, probably soon. Do you know about the new developments in Shadow Succession? Qing Zhong and Qing Wen had a conflict, and then Qing Zhong was shot by a group of Time Travelers, his Forbidden Artifact was looted, and even Qing Wen was shot. However, Qing Wen has the Forbidden Artifact ACE-090 Immortal Brooch on her, so she shouldn't die."

"Who took it?" Yue'er curiously asked.

"I don't know, it was several groups of people working together, and I don't know who took it in the end," Li Si answered.

The group fell silent for a moment, everyone was envious. That was a Forbidden Artifact!

Many Time Travelers dreamed of obtaining a Forbidden Artifact.

In the minds of many people, only Time Travelers who possessed a Forbidden Artifact could be considered the best.

Qing Chen looked at the chat record and suddenly wondered if Li Si had already attached himself to a candidate, otherwise why would he know so clearly?

Combined with his previous concern about Shadow Succession, it should be right.

But at this moment, Zard, who hadn't spoken, started his chatterbox mode: "There are really people who are not afraid of death who dare to plunder the Shadow Candidate. Don't they know about the previous Shadow Successions?"

Rebel King: "What do you mean?"

Zard: "Shadow Succession, the candidates are untouchable by outsiders. There's no problem with the candidates fighting each other, but if outsiders attack the candidates, they will be chased by the Qing Family to the ends of the earth, unless you escape to the wilderness and never return to the city. If you don't know this, you still dare to loot the Shadow Candidate? Are you eager to die?"

Lu Ya: "The consequences are so serious?"

Zard gloated: "Otherwise, why do you think there are so many experts in the Inner World who haven't dared to attack the Shadow Candidate for so long? Do you think you're the only smart ones? Do you think you're the only ones who know that the candidates have Forbidden Artifacts? Oh, you're the one who took Qing Zhong's Forbidden Artifact, right? Run quickly, or it will be too late."

Lu Ya seemed a little annoyed. He suppressed his anger and asked: "How can this be solved? I don't think the Qing Family can find me."

Zard: "Are you willing to gamble with your life?"

At this time, Glacial Eyes suddenly said in the group: "Next time we travel, immediately find a Shadow Candidate and join them. You'll be one of the rules."

Zard: "Wow, that's a good idea. If I'm not mistaken, Glacial Eyes should be from Daybreak, Daybreak is indeed full of talents. By the way, are you still recruiting people in Daybreak? I can try to persuade my Boss to join you together."

Glacial Eyes: "..."

At this time, the ID called Qing Bao also asked in the group: "I also want to ask, is Daybreak still recruiting people?"

...

...

A hotel in the north. A girl with a ponytail was packing her luggage.

She took out her phone to check again. Seeing that Glacial Eyes hadn't replied to her, she muttered softly: "What's going on? Has Daybreak stopped recruiting people? Or did I ask too abruptly? Was I a little impolite?"

"But, I'm still being chased by the Shendai Family, will joining Daybreak implicate them?"

"It's not bad to take a look, to confirm if... that person is someone I know."

"Suddenly so nervous, I haven't even left yet. Will he recognize me at a glance? Does our engagement in the Outer World still count?"

Perhaps because she was too lonely, the girl seemed to like talking to herself.

On her phone, her friend sent her a message, telling her that her house had been illegally invaded, and it was turned upside down.

There were also strange people who went to her former school to inquire about her whereabouts, even asking her classmates if they knew her whereabouts and whether they had kept in touch with her.

The girl felt annoyed when she saw this information. Those people were so persistent.

The girl checked her itinerary again on her phone before dragging her suitcase out.

But as the girl opened the door, she saw a young man standing smiling at the door. He was wearing a gray suit and holding a silver stag head cane.

"Hello, Miss Shendai Kongyin," the young man introduced himself: "I'm He Jinqiu from Nine Provinces. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope I haven't scared you."
