Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 725: 427, Two Slimes_2

Liu Dezhu pondered seriously for two seconds and said, “Have you ever thought that maybe we’re just naturally funny?”

Nan Gengchen: “…I guess that’s probably true.”

The two entered the JW Marriott Hotel and showed the QR code to the front desk.

The staff member politely asked, “Excuse me, are you Daytime Members Liu Dezhu and Nan Gengchen?”

Just as Nan Gengchen was about to say yes, Liu Dezhu kicked him and then seriously told the staff member, “No, please check us in as quickly as possible.”

He said to Nan Gengchen, “Get the masks out of the suitcase and put them on as soon as we get back to the hotel; I’ve had enough of your Slime.”

For Liu Dezhu, the reputation of Daytime was utterly sacred and absolutely could not be ruined by a couple of Slimes.

However, just then, Liu Dezhu turned his head and suddenly saw a Green Little Dinosaur staring at him intently not far away.

The Little Dinosaur’s design was such that the dinosaur’s head was hollow, and the human face was actually at the dinosaur’s neck.

So at first glance, the eyes on the dinosaur’s neck looked extremely fierce and appeared quite creepy.

The next second, Liu Dezhu saw the Little Dinosaur charging towards him, the dinosaur head wobbling comically.

Zard approached them and whispered, “You two…Daytime?”

Liu Dezhu braced himself, “Who are you?”

Zard: “It’s me! Zard, a good friend of Daytime! Which two of Daytime are you?”

Liu Dezhu: “I’m Hu Xiaoniu.”

Nan Gengchen: “I’m Zhang Tianzhen.”

Zard: “So it’s you two! I wanted to ask if Qing Chen is still alive, and if your boss came this time. By the way, is he staying at Marriott as well? Why haven’t I seen him? Or is he like our boss, having taken someone else’s spot?”

In the blink of an eye, Zard had inadvertently exposed Huan Yu.

Huan Yu had taken someone else’s spot all to keep his attendance a secret…

However, with thousands of participants at the event, even if Liu Dezhu and his group knew Huan Yu had sneaked in, they wouldn’t be able to find him immediately.

In fact, Liu Dezhu wasn’t too concerned about this, he had posted in He Xiaoxiao’s group as instructed by his boss.

As for the task of finding Huan Yu, it was being personally undertaken by the boss.

According to the boss’s exact words, Liu Dezhu and Nan Gengchen weren’t skilled enough to outplay Huan Yu, so there was no need to exert themselves.

Liu Dezhu, looking at the chatterbox in front of him, wasn’t sure which of the flurry of questions to answer: “No comment.”

He suspected that Zard wasn’t really looking for an answer but just wanted someone to talk to.

…

…

Outside Zheng City West Station, Qing Chen stood silently in the cold wind.

The young man next to him quietly asked, “Why did you come to the station?”

Qing Chen still didn’t know the relationship between Qing Yuan and this young man, nor how they interacted; he could only judge Qing Yuan’s character based on the young man’s demeanor.

Seeing the submissive manner in which the young man spoke, Qing Yuan probably wasn’t easy-going on a daily basis.

So he thought for a moment and then, looking askance at the young man, said, “Is that something you should be asking?”

The young man hurriedly lowered his head, “Sorry, Second Master.”

Second Master? Qing Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Qing Chen asked the young man next to him, “What are you doing here?”

The young man respectfully replied, “Second Master, Liu Ning had some urgent matters, so he sent me to pick up people from our organization arriving from various places. He said he had taken leave with Third Master, perhaps Third Master didn’t inform you.”

Qing Chen felt somewhat perplexed, wondering just how many bosses this damned organization to which Qing Yuan belonged had?!

It seemed like a gang of mountain bandits, with all sorts of nonsense like the head honcho, second-in-command, and third-in-command.

However, one thing was certain; Qing Yuan was not the true leader of the organization. Above Qing Yuan, there was a big boss.

Qing Yuan was able to hide in City 10, even out of reach of Kite Falcon, apparently with the help of the organization.

Moreover, the organization had a wide reach. Its members were not only in Zheng City and Taicheng but seemingly in other cities as well.

Qing Chen said with a cold face, “Can such established duties be so easily swapped? What could be so important that he neglects his actual work?”

The young man carefully explained, “Liu Ning’s girlfriend invited him to meet her parents…”

Qing Chen sneered, “Tell him…”

Initially, Qing Chen wanted to say that Liu Ning should break up with his girlfriend since Liu Ning was not his subordinate and had nothing to do with him.

But thinking of Liu Ning’s innocent girlfriend, he decided against it.

Just then, Sun Chu Ci and others came out. They were about to greet Qing Chen when they saw the person beside him and immediately shut up.

They acted as if they didn’t recognize him and avoided him.

Suddenly, the young man called out to them, “Sun Chu Ci.”

After being called, Sun Chu Ci politely said, “Li Yi senior, long time no see.”

Qing Chen looked at Sun Chu Ci, then at the young man beside him, “Do you know each other?”

He remembered Tuan Zi mentioning this name in the car, Li Yi, Longhu Commune!

So, was Qing Yuan actually from Longhu Commune?

No, it seemed even more complicated.

Longhu Commune wasn’t exactly a secretive organization; some information could be found online.

The Longhu Commune was originally called Wang Zhenbei Commune, founded by a graduate in the college town near Dragon Lake in the south of Zheng City.

It was named Wang Zhenbei Commune because the founder was Wang Zhenbei.

Some of Wang Zhenbei’s classmates leaked information on forums saying that he was a student council officer in college, with a strong bureaucratic air, which was also prevalent within the Wang Zhenbei Commune.

Later, the Wang Zhenbei Commune absorbed more college students from the Time Traveler and changed its name to Longhu Commune.

In Longhu Commune, there were no big bosses, second bosses, third bosses. There was only one boss, Wang Zhenbei.

Qing Chen guessed that the current organization where Li Yi and Qing Yuan were, was likely a merger.

Longhu Commune had been incorporated into another organization.

It was like the stronghold of bandits; originally, there was only one leader, but then another group came with guns and horses, becoming the second-in-command.

Qing Chen felt that the second and third bosses within the organization were meant to balance after the merger, forming a distinctive characteristic…

Speaking of which, it indeed somewhat resembled bandits taking over strongholds.

At that moment, the young man known as Li Yi explained to Qing Chen, “This person is Sun Chu Ci, whom I mentioned in our meetings before, an exceptional talent who has always been reluctant to join. Recently, the third boss has lost patience, so he wanted to make an example out of them for other Time Travelers in Zheng City.”

After speaking, Tuan Zi and Sun Chu Ci, who were originally enthusiastic in the car towards Qing Chen, now looked dejected, seemingly categorizing him with Li Yi’s group.

Qing Chen did not mind. He smiled at Li Yi, “Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is correct, such disobedient Time Travelers should be properly disciplined.”

After all, without Longhu Commune cornering Sun Chu Ci and the others, how could Sun Chu Ci’s determination to cling to Qing Chen be solidified, right?

Sun Chu Ci coldly said, “The deeds of Longhu Commune in Zheng City are highly disdained by all independent Time Travelers. I know you have found a new backer, but sooner or later, you will understand what the will of the people is. Remember, there is always someone better and higher powers; even Daytime, as formidable as it is, has never bullied the weak.”

Li Yi sneered, “How do you know what Daytime has done behind the scenes? Moreover, with our current backing, what does Daytime count for?”

He thought to himself that the second boss standing beside him was the legendary Shadow Candidate, a true big shot.

With such a figure’s backing, what did Daytime amount to?

Qing Chen silently looked at Li Yi, saying nothing.

In his gaze, there was a kind of pitiful compassion for the mentally challenged.
