“What I value is his intelligence,” He Jinqiu smiled and said, “Even if we can’t draw him to our side, it’s fine. We can start by being friends.”

The significant events that occurred in City No. 10 during the last crossing period had drawn He Jinqiu’s attention to that Inspector from Intelligence Department One Group Seven.

What surprised him the most was the Inspector’s name.

He Jinqiu didn’t know how Qing Chen managed to become a PCA Inspector in just a few months, but at this moment, Qing Chen had undoubtedly become one of the most crucial individuals among the Time Travelers.

Moreover, the relationship between Qing Chen and Li Changqing was very good. In Hu’s Information Agency, if He Jinqiu wanted to become the Executive Director and truly hold power, he would need many allies.

Therefore, maintaining the relationship with Li Changqing through Qing Chen became even more important.

He Jinqiu had originally planned to go to Los Angeles City tonight and pay a personal visit, but he didn’t expect Qing Chen to leave ahead of schedule.

Yu Cheng said in a low voice, “Boss, with you suddenly going out, we can’t pull our people back in time, and North America might try to target you.”

He Jinqiu stood up gracefully and walked towards the door, “Just as well, I haven’t seen some old friends in Europe for a long time… although I feel they might not want to see me.”

…

…

A day later, the wide and bright Baiyun International Airport resounded with an announcement: “Attention all passengers, the TK073 flight to Istanbul is now ready for boarding. Please proceed to gate 22 for boarding.”

A long queue had formed at gate 22, filled with tourists or business personnel heading to Turkey.

A young man approached the first-class priority lane of the boarding gate and handed over his documents. The ground staff took a glance at him—it was somewhat unusual that international flight passengers usually have luggage, while this young man didn’t bring anything, and there was no checked luggage indicated on his ticket.

It was quite rare to see passengers travel so light.

And rarer still was such an attractive passenger.

The young man looked up at the ground staff and asked with curiosity, “Is there a problem?”

“No, it’s nothing,” the ground staff responded calmly.

Actually, there was nothing unusual; they encountered all sorts of passengers every day. The young man wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for them.

Following the young man, there were three other first-class passengers.

A Chinese youth who appeared somewhat sluggish, accompanied by a foreign couple.

The young man sat in the comfortable first-class cabin, resting with his eyes closed, waiting for the plane to take off.

A beautiful flight attendant crouched in front of him with a smile, “Are you Mr. Qing Chen? Here are the slippers and towel prepared for you. What would you like to drink… and what should we prepare for your breakfast tomorrow? Also, you can scan the QR code in front of you to access the internet during the flight.”

After thinking a moment, Qing Chen said, “A glass of mineral water, thank you.”

The flight attendant suddenly asked with a friendly smile, “Mr. Qing Chen, what are you traveling to Europe for?”

Qing Chen smiled, showing his white teeth, and said, “Crab fishing.”

The flight attendant was taken aback for a moment—crab fishing?

That was probably the strangest reason for traveling abroad she’d heard. She stood up and left, thinking the passenger probably didn’t want to talk anymore, which is why he gave such an odd excuse.

However, Qing Chen really was going crab fishing.

It was deep winter now, the prime season for fishing for Alaska King Crab, which was also one of the times when the seas above 40 degrees north latitude were the roughest.

This was one of the most dangerous industries in the world, with an average of one crew member dying every seven days.

The crew had to work high-intensity shifts of 20 hours a day in the icy seas at 52 degrees north latitude, braving temperatures of 10 degrees below zero, fishing for Alaska King Crab from the seabed.

The ship would be covered with frost, and the crab cages would form thick layers of ice.

The frigid seawater left everyone’s skin numb, their noses red with the cold.

Sometimes, people also called the Alaska King Crab “Snow Crab.”

What Qing Chen was challenging himself with this time was the extreme sport of surfing 30-meter-high waves.

Under normal circumstances, the highest waves in China’s coastal areas were only 19 meters. To find waves over 30 meters, one had to be in a place above 40 degrees north latitude, where the seas between two continental plates were narrow.

The tide would surge from south to north and then get squeezed by the continent’s bight-shaped half, ultimately forming giant waves.

Because of that, Qing Chen needed more time to wait for a 30-meter wave big enough for his challenge—anything less would not do.

What did a 30-meter wave imply? It was equivalent to a 9-story building.

A wave of that magnitude crashing down was like a high-rise collapsing, and any slight miscalculation could pull the challenger into the depths.

Such waves didn’t stand still like insurmountable cliffs waiting there forever, ready for you to climb at any time.

Hence, Qing Chen had to take the crab-fishing boat and wait and look for the kind of stormy weather that the crew and captains hated most.

Qing Chen chose the 30-meter wave as the third life-and-death challenge because he discovered that B-Class and above Time Travelers in the Outer World had also started dying.

For instance, on the North Royal City Road of Los Angeles, where He Jinqiu had killed experts from the Jindai family, spring flowers by the roadside had bloomed prematurely during the cold winter.

The two black pine trees by the road had also grown a meter taller in just a few days.

All these signs indicated that the Outer World might develop Taboo Lands.

So Qing Chen was quite worried that the deaths of powerful beings in the Outer World could sever the sea routes here as well, turning it into a Forbidden Sea.

By then, the path of a Knight would truly be down to just one.
