Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 450 - 308. The Method of Empowerment (Request for Monthly Votes)

When a person dies socially, no lie is innocent.

When Jiang Xue saw the ’boss’ saying he wouldn’t move, she was inwardly chuckling because Qing Chen was clearly going to move, it was just that the boss wasn’t moving.

Whether the boss moves or not, what does it have to do with me, Qing Chen?

Now, Jiang Xue particularly enjoyed watching Qing Chen lie so earnestly.

But what she didn’t expect was that the lies of the little rich woman were no different from those of the boss.

Li Tongyun was definitely going to move with Jiang Xue, but the ’little rich woman’ couldn’t move. If she did, she would have to endure a beating first...

Fortunately, Qing Chen had left a room for each of them in the villa, so when XiaoTongyun joined the group chat again, no one would notice.

Liu Dezhu: ”Little rich woman, why aren’t you moving?”

Little rich woman: ”I’m not a local of Los Angeles City, ah. I became a Time Traveler by accident during a trip, so I can’t move over.”

Liu Dezhu: ”You could also settle in Los Angeles City, everyone is here, and the boss is also from Los Angeles.”

Little rich woman: ”I definitely will in the future!”

Liu Dezhu then asked, ”Eh, doesn’t our Daytime group have another wealthy member? Is she moving?”

Wealthy member: ”Mind your own business.”

Liu Dezhu: ”...”

At this time, Jiang Xue felt a bit embarrassed as she said in the Daytime group, ”Sorry everyone, I am a divorced single mother, so if I move, I have to bring my daughter with me. But don’t worry, she’s very well-behaved and won’t bother anyone.”

Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen, who were in a room on the first floor, were about to laugh themselves silly...

A small duck: ”Really well-behaved? If that’s the case, then there’s no problem. Qiu Xue, rest assured and bring her along, the boss definitely won’t have the heart to separate you and your daughter.”

Boss: ”Hmm, bring your daughter along, it won’t be a bother.”

Li Tongyun, who was upstairs in the second bedroom, watched her mother go to the trouble of explaining for her and suddenly began to worry about the harsh consequences if they were to be discovered in the future.

At night, when Qing Chen pushed open the door of Qiu Xue’s home alone, to his surprise, there was a letter in the crack of the door, written by Zhang Wanfang. The envelope was thick, apparently stuffed with money.

He didn’t look at the contents of the letter, nor did he take the money, and simply threw it in the trash can.

The gravity field of the Gravity Chamber was still not much weakened, but Qing Chen had already advanced from E-Class to the peak of D-Class. The original Gravity Chamber wasn’t much use to him anymore.

Perhaps Qiu Xue didn’t expect Qing Chen to advance so quickly either.

During this period, Qing Chen had been rapidly improving two covert abilities; his range for sniping targets had moved to 2350 meters, and maintaining the First Breathing Technique, his Knight Vital Energy had spread from his arms and legs and begun creeping up his spine.

He had a great demand for Knight Vital Energy. On one hand, the sharpness of Knight Vital Energy in turning everything into a blade was important, and on the other hand, quantity was also significant.

This time when Qing Chen went to Xian City, he carried playing cards with him, passing through security checks without any pressure.

If he were to go to a place where he could not carry weapons with an enemy, then a skill like the Autumn Leaf Knife would become his trump card.

But what Qing Chen was most concerned about now wasn’t the Autumn Leaf Knife.

It was the Puppeteer thread that maintained the connection between him and the Puppet after control was established.

When he killed Zhang San, he used the thread between himself and the Puppet to deliver a fatal blow, severing the opponent’s neck.

This made Qing Chen wonder, what if one day he could control many Puppets and the threads between them, extending up to fifty meters, were as sharp as blades?

At that moment, the host and the Puppets could spread out over a vast net, swiftly reaping the battlefield.

Then, the transparent, nearly invisible Puppeteer threads, with the Puppets weaving among one another, would be incredibly deadly.

At one point, Qing Chen believed that this might be the best use of combining Puppeteer with Knight Vital Energy.

...

...

Countdown 162:00:00.

Sunday, no school.

At six o’clock in the morning, Liu Dezhu braved the bitter cold to knock on the door. Today it was Nan Gengchen’s turn to break the wind, and he looked wilted, with no one knowing what he had been up to for the past seven days.

Qing Chen, following behind the team, pondered whether it was too risky to let a naturally frail youth like Nan Gengchen walk the path of a Knight.

In the Outer World, the path of a Knight, upon completing all eight life-and-death tasks, culminates in the advancement to true Knight status, jumping directly from Ordinary People to A-Class, bypassing the trial of conscience.

But in reality, the real danger of the path of a Knight was still the challenges themselves.

The first task, climbing the sheer cliffs of Qing Mountain, a slight misstep could lead to a fall off the cliff. The last one-meter leap of faith – it’s unknown how many would perish at this stage.

All eight life-and-death tasks require the challenger to become the top individual in each sporting domain.

Each task has an extremely high death rate.

Therefore, not every Daytime Member needs to walk this path. Selecting a few without potential to practice the Method of Empowerment could become Protectors of the Daytime sooner.

Qing Chen glanced at Liu Dezhu, Zhang Tianzhen, and Nan Gengchen, slowly forming a new idea.

After the morning run, he said to them, ”Liu Dezhu, Zhang Tianzhen, Nan Gengchen, you three come inside with me. Xiao Niu, you go home first and contact the moving company. The boss wants us to move this afternoon since we don’t have school and it would be good to gather together to train.”

Hu Xiaoniu paused for a moment.
