Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 684: 410, The treasure under the sea, the gunshot on the ship

“Friends aboard the Penguin Ship, welcome to Radiant Trumpet as guests. There is still plenty of room here, and your friend Rondo is also here. He has now become a member of our Future Organization,” Capri’s proud laughter echoed through the radio communication: “I will treat you well, after all, you still have to help me find my treasure at the bottom of the sea. By the way, I just saw you salvaging my cannon, bring it over too, I want to place it in the living room of my Miami villa as a decoration.”

Upon hearing this voice, Qing Chen glanced at Yesenia, whose look clearly meant: Someone wants to steal your stuff, should we deal with him?

Qing Chen shook his head.

At this moment, he was actually quite interested in this Capri and wanted to see what the comprehensive strength of Future Organization was really like.

Aboard the Arctic, Chilton and Yesenia, among others, had long lost the excitement of salvaging the cannon and the smugness they felt when facing Zhang Jian and his crew.

Before the Radiant Trumpet appeared, they had acted as if they had Qing Chen and the others in the palm of their hands, thinking everything was under control.

Now, it was a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind.

These Time Travelers had sunk to the same level as the crew of the Penguin Ship, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

Chilton thought for a moment and said, “We won’t go to Radiant Trumpet. We’ll stay on the Penguin Ship. We will help you find the treasure you want, but it’s more convenient for us to work on the Penguin Ship.”

Capri laughed through the radio communication, “Trying to leave yourselves some leeway to add suspense to the story, huh? I like it. Stay on the Penguin Ship, then. I’ll wait for you to find the treasure. Don’t think about muddling through, though. If you search all seven coordinates and still don’t find it, then you’re all dead. Now, head towards area A4.”

Chilton’s face was so gloomy it looked like he could wring out water. He couldn’t think of any good strategies to solve the problem at the moment, but the idea of handing over the treasure to someone else was unsettling to him.

He could only take it one step at a time.

However, just then, a feeble voice spoke into the radio communication channel: “But the storm is coming soon; perhaps we should anchor in the shallows and wait for the storm to pass before surveying…”

Upon these words, everyone aboard the ‘Penguin Ship’ stared at Zhang Jian with shock.

No one expected Zhang Jian to dare to speak at such a time…

Over the radio communication channel, even Capri was amused: “Who is this speaking?”

“The captain of the Penguin Ship,” Chilton responded.

“Oh?” Capri was intrigued: “I see you’re a crab boat; have you ever heard of the Arctic?”

Zhang Jian answered honestly: “Heard of it, I’ve been hearing about it since I was a child; it has a very glorious history.”

Capri said, “Then do you know where it is now? My boss is looking for it at the moment. If you can help me find it and there are Gold Coins at the bottom of the sea, I’ll allow you to take a handful.”

Zhang Jian continued to answer honestly, “Everyone says it went to the Barents Sea.”

Qing Chen sent an appreciative glance his way; he hadn’t expected Zhang Jian to learn so quickly. These two answers were all truthful, but not one revealed the actual truth…

With an adventurous spirit and a deep command of the language, had this guy been a Time Traveler, Qing Chen might have thought about coaxing Zhang Jian to return to their homeland for a homecoming…

The crab boat set off, heading towards the A4 area.

Music with a rhythm sounded from the luxury yacht behind them, and Qing Chen looked back to see the brightly lit cabin of Radiant Trumpet, where a group of bikini-clad ladies were swaying.

“So this is the kind of life the North American Time Travelers lead,” remarked Qing Chen.

Yesenia chuckled, “Envious?”

“Not envious,” Qing Chen shook his head: “Living too extravagantly can make one lose their fighting spirit. These people enjoy a month in the Outer World, then they’re probably going to need some time to adjust to the dangerous environment of the Inner World when they return.”

Yesenia looked at Qing Chen with surprise, but said no more.

At five o’clock, the sunset glow on the sea was like a layer of gold plating.

Chilton and the others sat on the deck, looking at the scenery listlessly, without any good mood.

“What do we do now? Rondo used us as his letter of introduction to join Future Organization, so Capri surely knows our strength and how many weapons we brought,” Yesenia worriedly said: “Sela, I told you long ago that Rondo couldn’t be trusted, but you wouldn’t listen.”

Sela, another young member of their team, had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Yesenia, but they hadn’t developed into a couple yet.

Yesenia was shrewd. In private, she accepted favors from all the men in the team, yet she accepted none of them.

Chilton pounded his fist on the deck, “Now is not the time for blaming teammates. We need to unite and come up with a strategy. It’s good that it’s Capri who’s coming. Even though he is a C-Class Expert, C-Class Experts are not omnipotent. We still have a chance!”

In truth, Chilton didn’t know where their chance lay, but as the leader of the team, he couldn’t afford to be disheartening.

Yesenia scoffed, “We had agreed with Rondo to divide our forces. Professor Chilton, it was you who asked him to converge with us. If you hadn’t asked him to come together, none of this would have happened.”

“Enough,” Chilton rose angrily, “Will blaming each other help us escape disaster?!”
