Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 327: 255, Time Traveler’s Level 2

“`

“Brother Liu, you’re not as well-informed as us in this regard,” Wang Zi said, “It’s said that someone is organizing a group in He Xiaoxiao’s chat group to ambush the Shadow Candidates and fight for the Taboo items.”

“Hmm, and then?”

“Many Time Travelers can’t traverse the vast wilderness and Taboo Land in the Inner World, so they won’t be able to join this looting for a short time,” Wang Zi explained, “But if they can’t ambush the Shadow Candidates, they can rob the Time Travelers who have successfully snatched the Taboos!”

Liu Dezhu frowned, he hadn’t expected such a nasty development to follow.

He had to tell the boss.

Wang Zi said, “Of course, not everyone who comes is after robbing others; some are just here to join in the bustle, like a car enthusiasts’ meet-up. Time Travelers from all over come to Los Angeles City to see what other Time Travelers are like, each with their own agenda, I guess.”

After thinking it over, Liu Dezhu said, “My dad just finished making breakfast, so I need to eat before going to school. You guys go ahead.”

The privileged youth went downstairs.

Once the group had headed down, Liu Dezhu immediately went into the bathroom and sent a message to Qing Chen with the communicator: “Boss, they’re about to enter the prison, what should I do?”

Qing Chen replied, “Serves them right, did you say you’ve been released from prison?”

Liu Dezhu scratched his head, “As you ordered, boss, I didn’t tell them… But now they keep asking me about the situation at Prison No. 10, and you know they are all still students. If they really go in, won’t they waste their whole lives in prison?”

Qing Chen replied, “That would be a good thing for them.”

“What?” Liu Dezhu was stunned.

Qing Chen explained, “With their personalities, how long do you think they would survive in the society of the Inner World?”

“Probably not very long,” Liu Dezhu lamented, “It’s already very fortunate that they haven’t been found by the consortium.”

“Exactly,” Qing Chen replied, “and you’ve also seen the information King Breaker shared in the group. It’s very possible that war will break out in the Inner World, and the chances of these privileged youths surviving in turbulent times are very, very slim. It’s better for them to be in prison. In a few years, maybe other Time Travelers will be dead, and they’ll still be alive.”

Liu Dezhu’s eyes lit up, the boss was the boss indeed, his way of thinking was just so unique.

After some thought, Qing Chen felt that he needed to say a bit more to his top enforcer, “You think they’re entering prison because of you, right?”

Liu Dezhu replied, “Umm…”

“In every era, there are opportunists who look down on a steady life, even thinking those who take things step by step are foolish. But life is long, long enough for you to experience the changes of times, and in the end, time will give everyone an answer,” Qing Chen said, “It’s their own fault; no need to feel guilty.”

Qing Chen instructed, “Now, don’t think about such trivial matters. Starting today, act alone after evening self-study, don’t accompany others…”

He quickly instructed him on many things, and Liu Dezhu clearly sensed the breath of some impending crisis, as if the boss was preemptively arranging some matters.

“Boss, I understand,” Liu Dezhu responded, “Oh, and there’s something else I need to report. Now many Time Travelers are coming to Los Angeles City, wanting to rob…”

He told Qing Chen all the information he knew, hoping to make the boss extra cautious.

However, the boss didn’t reply to him for several minutes, so he returned to the dining table to eat while waiting.

Just as Liu Dezhu finished his second steamed bun, Qing Chen sent a message, “Inquire with those privileged youths, which Time Travelers that came to Los Angeles City have Taboo items on them.”

“Pfft,” Liu Dezhu spat out the bun onto Liu Youcai’s face.

“`

He was still worried about the boss, but the boss had already come up with even bolder ideas!

Liu Dezhu felt a stir in his heart, the boss truly lived up to his name!

At that moment, Liu Youcai, sitting opposite, wiped his face and looked at his son: “Zhu Zi, tell the truth to Dad, are you in danger in the Inner World?

Liu Dezhu thought for a moment and said, “Dad, there’s certainly danger, but I’ve already become a Time Traveler, and I can’t escape it.”

“Are those young nobles going to find you in prison? I don’t think they look decent. Don’t mingle with them,” Liu Youcai said: “They may have money, but we’ve made our living with our own hands, and we don’t have to rely on them.”

“Don’t worry, Dad,” Liu Dezhu sighed: “I really don’t have much to do with them, and I won’t be entangled with them in the future. Now I’m following the boss…

Liu Youcai was startled: “You’ve mentioned the boss before, but what’s the background of your boss exactly?”

“Hmm,” Liu Dezhu nodded: “Dad, do you remember that night when Mom had an accident, there were three people who helped us, one who shot a gun, one who played poker, and a girl who fell from the sky. We all work for the same boss, that night it was he who ordered his subordinates to help us.”

“Oh, I know about that,” Liu Youcai smacked his lips: “Those people were indeed not bad, those who lend a hand during a crisis, that’s a favor. Our Liu Family may be poor, but we’ve never been lacking in our conduct.”

“Hmm,” Liu Dezhu nodded.

“By the way, how old is your boss this year?” asked Liu Youcai.

“Don’t know,” shook Liu Dezhu’s head: “I haven’t even seen him yet, he’s extremely mysterious.”

After thinking for a while, Liu Youcai said: “I often see comparisons online about which Time Traveler is the strongest, and they’ve classified Time Travelers into several ranks. Which rank does your boss belong to?”

The order Liu Youcai spoke of was an online categorization of Time Travelers based on the identity they adopt after transiting through time, defining five levels.

The fifth rank of Time Travelers: Those who have a dreadful start, not only saddled with debt but also chased for their lives.

The fourth rank of Time Travelers: Those who come from the lower classes and see no hope.

The third rank of Time Travelers: Ordinary salaried workers, organization members, working in the Outer World, and still have to swallow their pride and work in the Inner World.

The second rank of Time Travelers: Have special identities, they might be employees of some Federation department; Genetic Warriors; well-equipped Mechanical Limb Soldiers.

The first rank of Time Travelers: Possessing extremely high status from the beginning, or attached themselves to truly powerful figures; with high intelligence, capable of rapid growth through personal effort; Cultivators; Awakeners.

Liu Dezhu recalled the standards for each rank of Time Travelers, intending to classify his boss as first rank, but felt it was still not enough.

Because others only need to meet one criterion to be classified as a first rank Time Traveler, while that boss seemed to meet almost all the conditions of a first rank Time Traveler.

What rank should such a person belong to?

There will be another chapter tonight, but it might be a bit late. This morning I called some friends to help some people from Luo Yang who were stuck in Zhengzhou High-speed Railway Station get home, which took some time. Some of them have been stuck there for over two days and couldn’t find a ride.

Sorry, I’ll type up the second chapter as fast as I can.
