Night's Nomenclature -
Chapter 400: Going Abroad
“Lao Luo, remember this: intelligence work is silent as the falling rain, not high-profile running through the streets and alleys,” Qing Chen said.
Qing Chen himself recalled that the Kestrel under the Secret Spy Agency all had their own work as a cover, and would never publicly announce to the outside world that they were Kestrel.
That's what he wants from the Guardians' Union as well.
Those Home Families, although they have joined the organization, should still be on their own life trajectories, collecting intelligence information for the organization.
Furthermore, they must conceal their "family' identities, shifting from the surface to underground.
Only in this way can they obtain truly useful information imperceptibly.
The Guardians' Union must be hidden within the Federation, rather than becoming an organization like the Mechanical God Sect that is despised by many.
At this time, Luo Wanya already understood Qing Chen's meaning, and he realized that what he had done in the past, while successful, did not conform to Daybreak's development strategy.
“Boss, I know what to do,” Luo Wanya said softly.
Qing Chen continued: “Currently, there is only one task for you: after you complete the infiltration of City 10's lower social strata, find Shadow Candidate Qing Yuan for me. He is currently my biggest concern in the Shadow Succession. I suspect he is hiding in the civilian area, protected by some tightly organized Time Travelers.”Luo Wanya's heart sank. He never expected that he would be involved in the Shadow Succession.
This is a true battle for succession, one of the events closest to the core of Conglomerate power.
At this time, Luo Wanya asked Qing Chen: “Boss, where are you going this time?”
This was only his first day back, and all the Time Travelers were busy catching their breath, while Qing Chen had already booked his tickets early and had no intention of resting.
In the short half-hour since returning, Qing Chen acted as if he were settling his affairs, arranging everything about Daybreak.
He only brought enough cash in his UnionPay card for this trip, leaving the rest with Jiang Xue as operating funds for Daybreak's future.
He was like a person who was calmly awaiting death, preparing to go to a foreign land alone.
At one moment, Luo Wanya felt that Qing Chen's actions were similar to his own more than a decade ago when he was preparing to run away to avoid trouble.
The first time Luo Wanya ran away, he got a fake divorce from his wife, gave all his assets to her, and smuggled himself out with only a Xiao Jin Buddha necklace and a solid gold Rolex watch.
He took the Buddha and the Rolex in order to easily convert them into cash when he went to a foreign country to lay low; these two things were the easiest to sell, and they were also the last bit of capital for people like them to make a comeback.
In the first year of laying low, his wife would still call him.
In the second year, there was no news.
When he returned to China, his wife had already remarried with all his assets.
Luo Wanya didn't go to that woman to settle accounts or ask for money, because he felt that it was his own fault and there was nothing to say.
What did the woman do wrong? Nothing.
It was his own fault. Why should she sacrifice her youth for him?
However, Luo Wanya knew that Qing Chen's departure was not to lay low; it was absolutely different.
After all, he dared not use regular transportation back then.
So Luo Wanya was a little puzzled, what was this Daybreak Boss going to do that he would arrange everything before leaving like he were settling his affairs?
This trip was clearly extremely dangerous.
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: “Abroad.”
He was going to take a plane from Luo City North Suburb Airport to Guangzhou, then from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, board Turkish Airlines flight TK073 to Istanbul Airport.
Then from Istanbul Airport, take flight TK1953 to Schiphol Airport, arriving in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The journey will take nearly 20 hours, with a first-class ticket costing more than 27,000 yuan.
In the past, Qing Chen would definitely have bought an economy-class ticket, but Hu Xiaoniu said that first-class passengers don't need to wait two hours in line for a visa.
First-class passengers on international flights have separate exit channels.
So Qing Chen decisively changed to first class.
To be honest, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen are better at spending money.
It's not that Qing Chen wants to go abroad for fun, but the location of the third Trials of Life and Death challenge he needs to complete is not so easy to find.
Even at the target location this time, he has to wait for the opportunity to appear.
Time waits for no one, Qing Chen is not even sure if he can wait for an opportunity within these 30 days of returning.
During the 30 days of the time travel, he secretly trained in the mysterious world of "Conquer with Virtue' during his rest time, all for this return.
Luo Wanya asked again: “Boss, is it very dangerous? Otherwise, don't go. Aren't we doing pretty well now? You are already someone others can only look up to. Why risk your life? We have an old saying, "a precious son does not sit in a precarious hall," which means that noble people should not risk their lives… ”
Qing Chen suddenly remembered the old man who left in the morning sun, and then said to Luo Wanya: “If I were a young man again, an ounce of gold, an ounce of wind.”
“Ah? Boss, what does this mean?” The rough Luo Wanya was stunned, completely confused.
Qing Chen smiled: “Nothing, just drive your car.”
He was thinking.
Yes, Daybreak seems to be on the right track, and even he has gained some power.
The KnightEight Trials of Life and Death challenge is life-threatening every time. If he suddenly dies now, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain?
But if he backs down now, what's the difference between him and most ordinary people in this world?
Perhaps many people can't understand the actions of Knights.
In the Federation, Knights have many followers and believers, but even more people question why Knights would go for extreme sports and risk their lives when they have nothing to do.
Qing Chen thinks it's okay if they don't understand.
If everyone can understand you, how ordinary you must be?
…
…
At midnight, a young man in a gray suit was sitting on the balcony of a hotel in Haicheng.
He was holding a delicate silver-inlaid black cane in one hand, and playing with a gold coin in the other.
The gold coin was lightly bouncing on the back of his hand.
At this time, Nine Provinces Yu Cheng came over and said softly: “Boss, the backstage information shows that Qing Chen booked a flight ticket to leave Luo City tonight. In two days, he will take a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul, then to Amsterdam… Should we cancel our trip to Luo City?”
He Jinqiu raised an eyebrow: “What is he doing so far away?”
Yu Cheng thought for a moment: “Maybe he is going on a trip…?”
He Jinqiu shook his head: “How could it be a trip? Do you believe that someone like him would go on a trip now? Qing Chen must have a purpose in going to Istanbul. Let our people overseas investigate. I want to know what he's doing.”
Nine Provinces is a Time Traveler organization responsible for overseas affairs. Their power abroad is even stronger than in the country.
Currently, Europe does not produce Time Travelers. There are only two places that can produce "public test qualifications': one is in mainland China, and the other is in North America.
However, many Time Travelers around the world like to go there.
There is no other reason, only because Time Travelers are rare in Europe.
It's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
For example, in China, an E-level Time Traveler is nothing. They still have to keep their tails between their legs, after all, there are still two big Buddhas, Nine Provinces and Kunlun, suppressing them.
But it's different in Europe. In the absence of Time Travelers, many Time Travelers have become stars there.
Just by performing with Cybernetic Limbs in theaters, they can earn a lot of money in a week.
It's like if there were really an Ultraman in Japan, Ultraman could easily make a lot of money with a commercial performance…
Therefore, there is currently a gray industrial chain in which people specifically organize Time Travelers to go abroad to make money.
Because Time Travelers with Cybernetic Limbs are not allowed to leave the country, the organizers specifically find those with intact limbs, and then have them change their Cybernetic Limbs in Inner World when they arrive in Europe in Outer World.
Of course, this industrial chain is also very dangerous, and it is uncertain when someone will target it.
Some people have also considered making money by carrying Cybernetic Limbs and reselling them, such as installing them in Inner World and then selling them in Outer World.
But there are two problems. First, they earn Outer World money, and when they exchange it for gold bars in Inner World, they may not be able to afford Cybernetic Limbs.
It is difficult to balance the accounts between the two sides, after all, the amount of gold bars carried is limited.
Second, Outer World does not have mature technology for removing Cybernetic Limbs, and there is a risk of severe bleeding and death.
Therefore, performance is more worthwhile; painless money making.
But this business is too simple and has no technical content.
Many people are now making this money in Europe, touring like circuses, causing ticket prices to start an involution.
Gradually, those Time Travelers with only crude Cybernetic Limbs can only perform in the countryside.
A performance of Cybernetic Limbs combat can charge 20 euros per ticket, and children can touch a robotic arm for 5 euros.
It's like the Thai ladyboy industry.
It has lowered the image of Time Travelers significantly…
Of course, there are also some other industries. For example, in today's European football league, football players can't take the field without two injections of Gene Medicine.
Without E-level strength, they can only sit on the bench.
Therefore, the current European Cup is like a battle of gods. If an ordinary player uses their body to receive a kick from the goalkeeper, they could break several ribs.
On-site death is very possible.
After a game, several footballs could be broken.
Not only football leagues, North America's American football is even more exaggerated; this is where the real money is made.
Of course, some Time Travelers have started acting in movies, and their pay is comparable to that of international first-line stars.
Therefore, the emergence of Time Travelers has made a huge change to the whole world.
Nine Provinces has offices in Berlin, Rome, and London, and He Jinqiu often travels to these places.
However… He Jinqiu has not met an opponent in Europe yet. Many EU member states have restricted his entry, mainly because this guy's ability to cause trouble overseas is too strong, and everyone can't do anything about him.
He Jinqiu sat on the hotel balcony and thought for a moment: “I don't think the Netherlands has restricted my entry and exit yet? Book me a ticket, I'll go to Amsterdam too.”
Yu Cheng asked strangely: “Boss, what are you going there for?”
“Qing Chen has underestimated his influence,” He Jinqiu smiled: “He is fine within the country, but once he goes out, he will inevitably be targeted by Shendai and Koshima. He just pitted two Conglomerates in City 10, how could they not seek revenge? This might be a good opportunity for me to make friends with Qing Chen. If I can get him to leave Daybreak and join Nine Provinces, I will have much less to worry about in the future.”
“Is he that powerful? His strength level doesn't seem that high,” Yu Cheng wondered.
“What I value is his intelligence,” He Jinqiu smiled: “It doesn't matter if I can't recruit him; I can start by making friends.”
The major events that occurred in City 10 during the last time travel made He Jinqiu pay attention to the Supervisor of Intelligence Bureau One, Group Seven.
What surprised him the most was the name of that Supervisor.
He Jinqiu didn't know how Qing Chen did it, but he was able to become a PCASupervisor in just a few months. However, Qing Chen had become one of the most important Time Travelers.
Moreover, Qing Chen has a good relationship with Li Changqing. In the Hu Family Intelligence Agency, if He Jinqiu wants to become the CEO and truly grasp the power, he must have enough allies.
Therefore, maintaining a relationship with Li Changqing through Qing Chen is even more important.
Originally, He Jinqiu was going to Luo City tonight to visit in person, but he did not expect Qing Chen to leave early.
Yu Cheng said softly: “Boss, if you suddenly go out, our personnel will not be able to withdraw, and North America may try to target you.”
He Jinqiu stood up and walked elegantly toward the door: “That's good, I haven't seen some old friends in Europe for a long time… Although I think they may not want to see me.”
…
…
A day later, the announcer in the wide and bright Baiyun International Airport sounded: “Attention passengers, your flight TK073 to Istanbul is now boarding, please proceed to gate 22 for boarding.”
There was a long queue at gate 22, all tourists or business travelers going to Turkey.
A young man came to the first-class priority lane at the boarding gate and presented his documents. The ground staff looked at him and found something strange: passengers on international flights usually carry luggage, but this young man didn't bring anything, and there was no checked baggage mark on the ticket.
It is rare for tourists to travel so lightly.
Such a handsome passenger is also rare.
The young man looked up at the ground staff and curiously asked: “Is there any problem?”
“No problem,” the ground staff calmly said.
Actually, there's nothing to be surprised about. Every day they Face[-] all kinds of passengers, and they've seen a lot of strange ones, so this young man is nothing special.
After the young man, there were three more first-class passengers.
A seemingly somewhat simple Chinese young man, and a foreign couple.
The young man sat in the soft first-class seat, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the plane to take off.
A beautiful flight attendant squatted in front of him and smiled: “Mr. Qing Chen, we have slippers and a towel prepared for you. What drinks would you like… Also, what meals would you like for tomorrow morning. By the way, scan the QR code in front of you to access the internet during the flight.”
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: “A bottle of mineral water, thank you.”
The flight attendant didn't know what came over her, but she suddenly asked very kindly: “Mr. Qing Chen, what are you going to Europe for?”
Qing Chen smiled, revealing a set of white teeth: “Catching crabs.”
The flight attendant was stunned, catching crabs?
This is probably the strangest reason for going abroad. She stood up and left, thinking that the passenger probably didn't want to talk to her more, so he made up this strange excuse.
However, Qing Chen really was going to catch crabs.
It's deep winter now, the crab-catching season for Alaskan Emperor Crab, and also one of the times with the biggest waves in the seas north of 40 degrees north latitude.
This is one of the most dangerous industries in the world, with an average of one crew member dying every seven days.
In the icy waters at 52 degrees north latitude, crew members work under temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius for 20 hours a day, hauling Alaskan Emperor Crabs from the seabed.
The ship will be covered with frost, and the crab cages will freeze with thick layers of ice.
The icy seawater makes everyone's skin lose sensation, and their noses are frozen red.
Sometimes, people also call Alaskan Emperor Crab snow crabs.
The Trials of Life and Death challenge Qing Chen is taking on this time is actually extreme surfing in the Face[-] of 30-meter-high waves.
Normally, the highest waves in China's near-sea areas are only 19 meters. To find waves of 30 meters or more, you must be above 40 degrees north latitude, and the area needs to be a narrow sea area between two continental plates.
The tide surges from south to north, then is squeezed by the bag-shaped continental plate, eventually forming huge waves.
Therefore, Qing Chen needs more time to wait for a 30-meter-high wave that is big enough for him to complete the challenge, not one meter less.
What is the concept of 30 meters? It's about the height of a nine-story building.
A giant wave crashing down is like a high-rise building collapsing. If you are not careful, you will be swept into the seabed.
This kind of wave is not like Qingshan Cliff, which always waits there; no matter when you go to climb it, it is there.
So Qing Chen needs to take a crab boat to wait, to find, to wait for the stormy weather that crew members and captains hate the most.
The reason why Qing Chen chose a 30-meter wave as his third Trials of Life and Death challenge is because he found that B-class and above Time Travelers in Outer World are also starting to die.
For example, after He Jinqiu killed the Shendai Family's master on Luo City's Wangcheng Avenue North, the forsythia and cherry blossoms along the roadside bloomed ahead of schedule in the cold winter.
The two black pines on the roadside also grew one meter taller in a few days.
All these signs indicate that a Forbidden Zone may appear in Outer World.
So Qing Chen is worried that the death of masters in Outer World will lead to the complete severance of the sea route here, turning it into a Forbidden Sea.
At that time, the Knight's path will really only be left with one.
