Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 459: 311, holding a bowl of water level

At that moment, Jiang Yichen’s expression changed, and he spoke with some difficulty, “Sorry, but I can’t hold it in any longer. Can we talk about this later? I have the key to prove I live here, you can come to my place and see for yourself.”

Qing Chen could now say whatever he wanted with the face of Zard and not be afraid of being exposed.

But it was different for Jiang Yichen—if Qing Chen really approached him with a math problem, he would definitely be exposed.

He wouldn’t be able to answer!

The Upper Three Districts were unlike other areas—they had extremely strict security. Residents could report any suspicious persons directly to the PCE Security Management Committee.

At that moment, Jiang Yichen felt like he could no longer hold it in, but as a Time Traveler, he had to be cautious to avoid arousing suspicion from the neighbors.

...

Qing Chen chuckled and said, “Alright then, good luck with your exam.”

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yichen, desperate from his urgency, hadn’t thought much and felt that he had somehow managed to survive the encounter.

Moreover, the homeowners in this building were quite easy to fool.

Qing Chen looked back as he reached the outside of the building. The house’s exterior was quite beautiful.

The corners of the house were embedded with blue and purple light strips, a feature characteristic of the Cyberpunk World’s light pollution.

The greenery in the neighborhood was well maintained, unlike the ‘Lower Six Districts’, where one couldn’t see a bit of greenery despite the crowds; it rather resembled the villa neighborhoods of the Outer World.

A hover car slowly descended, and Qing Chen got into the car: “Yi, are you there?”

“I’m here,” Yi replied.

Qing Chen asked directly, “How many Mitsui Shopping Malls are there in City Number 18?”

“Six,” Yi replied.

“Then, among these six Mitsui Shopping Malls, have there been any recent incidents involving a holographic neon dolphin leaping out of water?” Qing Chen asked.

“Three of them have had it,” Yi replied, “That dolphin holographic neon is an advertisement for the new generation of virtual life, so it’s quite common and not a special landmark.”

Qing Chen continued, “Can you help me find the information on all people named Luo Wanya in City Number 18?”

While talking, three profiles appeared on the hover car’s screen—three Luo Wanyas.

Qing Chen pointed to one of the overweight profiles and said, “That’s him, I want to find him.”

Yi replied, “With so many people coming and going every day in City Number 18, how would I find him…”

Qing Chen, expressionless, said, “Are you short of money in the Outer World again?”

Yi: “100,000 yuan. Liu Dezhu and the others got a 100,000 yuan commission for completing Zhang Chengze’s task. I’m a Daytime Member too; I want a commission as well.”

“I just paid you a sum of money recently, how did you spend that so quickly?” Qing Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Yi sighed and said, “You didn’t help me turn that into cash, so I paid someone else to do it, and after that meeting, the girl just had a little something to eat with the boy, opened a bottle of wine, and the bar charged 6,888 yuan. The prices in your Outer World are so high.”

Qing Chen was stunned. That was clearly a sign of encountering a drink scam!

But he hadn’t expected that Yi, so capable in the Inner World, would repeatedly get scammed in online romance in the Outer World.

First, it was the tea-selling girl, and now a drink scam.

Luckily Yi didn’t have a body; otherwise, heaven knows he might also encounter a “cliff drop” scam.

“Hold on, even if you encountered a drink scam, that was only 6,888, you still have a lot of money. Where did it all go?” Qing Chen asked curiously.

“There’s a faceless female broadcaster with a very nice voice, who said she would show her face if I sent twenty rockets,” Yi replied, “But after she revealed her face… it didn’t match my taste at all. I saw in the chat that Tier-2 big bro ran away with a train overnight. I think this Tier-2 might also be a Demigod-level person, otherwise how could he carry a train.”

Qing Chen also sighed, “It seems that every day you get scammed in the Outer World, and each scam is different. Next time you try online dating, can you ask me first?”

“Why should I ask you? You haven’t even been in a relationship yourself, why would I ask you?” Yi responded disdainfully, “How is that different from asking a blind man for directions?”

Qing Chen paused for a moment, realizing it was true: “But you can’t always be deceived like this.”

“What’s wrong with enjoying the bitterness of love?” Yi responded.

“That’s your idea of love? You just can’t walk past a pretty girl,” Qing Chen said contemptuously.

Yi: “Let’s get back to business, is the deal done?”

“Done,” Qing Chen replied.

Yi: “But honestly, the surveillance in the Lower Six Districts is almost entirely ruined. It’s indeed difficult to find him.”

At that moment, the hover car entered the Upper Three Districts on a specified track.

In the sky, hundreds of drones shuttled back and forth, meticulously delivering takeout.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and then said, “I’ll provide the clues, and you help find the related information. First, he was spotted near a Mitsui Shopping Mall, then someone followed him and knocked him out in an alleyway and took him away. Can you find the vehicle they used to transport him?”

“Can’t find it,” Yi replied.

“Next clue,” Qing Chen said, “Luo Wanya has been under house arrest for over a month, but he himself hasn’t suffered, with meals provided in full supply. Along with him, there were 7 others detained, and 7 guards. Can we check for catering orders for more than 14 people to see where they are concentrated?”

Yi: “In one month, there were a total of 121,991 similar orders, all for 14 people or more. This clue might not be very useful because many factories and company employees order meals together with colleagues.”
