Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 745: 436, Director

In the venue.

There were knockoff Spider-Men, a plump Wonder Woman, Slimes, and Little Dinosaur Pikachus.

Yanyan, dressed as a Pretty Girl Warrior, seemed to be launching a dimension-reducing attack.

It was like seven hundred dwarfs with Snow White.

It was brutally overwhelming.

Someone sneakily looked at Yanyan and asked the person next to them, “Who is that girl? Why haven’t I heard of her before?”

“The people from the Matrix have greeted her, she might be from Haicheng.”

At that moment, a Pikachu said to the Green Little Dinosaur next to it, “This girl is suspected to be a B-Class, I have collected some information on her, especially from the Inner World. She seems to be a rare Force Field Awakener. If we encounter the Daytime again in the future, we must be cautious of her.”

The Little Dinosaur beside it… tilted its head in confusion and stared at Pikachu.

Pikachu continued, “Right, there are only 5 days left until the crossover. Next time you go to the Inner World…”

In the midst of speaking, a voice suddenly said from the other side, “Boss, boss, I’m over here.”

Pikachu slowly turned around to look at the Slime beside it…

Huan Yu raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you supposed to be dressed as a Little Dinosaur? How come you’ve switched to a Slime?!”

Zard said, “I think the Slime looks nicer, and it matches my aura better, so I swapped with someone else.”

Huan Yu: “???”

He glanced at the Slime in front of him and then looked at the two Slimes on the Daytime side, “Are you planning to defect to the Daytime now?”

“No, no,” Zard said, “My heart might have gone to the Daytime, but believe me, boss, my body will always be with you. When the day comes that you are found by him and become one of theirs, I’ll accompany you as a dowry.”

Huan Yu: “…”

So annoying.

Meanwhile, the people at the Matrix side, noticing Yanyan standing next to Qing Chen, muttered quietly, “Isn’t she the girl who went on a honeymoon with that young man?!”

Chen Sui looked at the members beside him and said, “That’s clearly a joke, she’s not even of legal marriage age yet. How could she go on a honeymoon?”

The Matrix members fell silent.

Yanyan whispered to Qing Chen with a smile, “How is it? I didn’t embarrass the Daytime, did I?”

Upon hearing this, Qing Chen turned to glance at the two Slimes beside him…

“The dignity of the Daytime, all restored by you,” the youth sighed.

The two Slimes curled up in shame together.

“By the way, I just arrived in Zheng City this morning, but I saw some people in the group discussing last night’s battle. What happened?” Yanyan asked in a low voice.

“No worries, I encountered a very smart and cautious opponent. I’m thinking of ways to draw him out, but his abilities are too tricky to handle,” Qing Chen replied.

Qing Yuan’s ability is to turn others into his Puppets.

With this ability, whatever he wants to do, he can have the Puppets do it.

No wonder all the Shadow Candidates and Kite Falcons couldn’t find him since he never has to show himself.

Qing Wu, Qing Xing, Qing Yuan.

As the conflict for the Shadow reached its third round, indeed, all the tricky characters appeared.

Qing Chen hadn’t even figured out what Qing Xing’s Taboo was yet, and now such a dangerous Qing Yuan had emerged.

Last night, if he had been even a little greedy and tried to capture the driver, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to stand here now.

However, Qing Yuan also underestimated him.

The three Assassins didn’t split up to leave but suddenly gathered and stood by the roadside waiting for a car, which anyone with a bit of brain would realize was suspicious.

If the opponent’s organization was really so careless, then Qing Chen wouldn’t be worried.

Qing Chen glanced at the Matrix side and asked Yanyan, “I just saw someone greeting you, why didn’t you go over?”

Yanyan tilted her head and looked at him, “Not familiar.”

However, in the midst of talking, Chen Sui actually led the Matrix members over and smiled at Yanyan, “Long time no see.”

Yanyan looked at him, “… Who are you? Wait, you’re wearing a mask. I genuinely can’t recognize who you are just by your voice.”

Qing Chen thought to himself, this girl sure knows how to feign ignorance. Does she even need to see faces? Just sensing the force field can memorize a person’s features; no amount of disguise can hide that.

Wait a second.

This ability seems very useful.

Qing Chen fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Chen Sui was still introducing himself to Yanyan, even forgetting to conceal his identity now, “I’m Chen Sui from the Matrix. We met once in Haicheng. It was during Li Ling’s birthday party. You came to give her a present and then left. I was standing next to the cake then. Later, I asked Li Ling for your WeChat, but you didn’t add me…”

The two Slimes glanced at each other, thinking that this guy remembered the scene so vividly, he must have fallen for Yanyan at first sight then.

Is this what they call an indelible scene?

Yanyan nodded, “Ah… I don’t remember.”

One of the girls in the Matrix looked at Yanyan and asked with a smile, “Is the person next to you… the boss of the Daytime Organization?”

Yanyan laughed, “He isn’t; the boss is very mysterious, I’ve never even met him.”

“Then who is this person next to you?” the girl asked curiously.

Yanyan glanced at Qing Chen, who was deep in thought, then told the girl, “He’s our second boss, he’s in charge whenever the boss isn’t around.”

“Oh, what about you?” the girl wondered, finding it strange that a B-Class Expert like Yanyan would still be taking orders from someone else.

Yanyan, with a beaming smile, answered, “I’m just a worker in the Daytime, whatever the boss tells me to do, I do.”

Chen Sui suddenly said, “Yanyan, you’re from Haicheng, and the Matrix is a local Time Traveler Organization based in Haicheng too. I think you should visit our headquarters when you have the time; you might find it suits you better. Plus, you know how fast we’re growing…”

Qing Chen finally snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Chen Sui; there was actually someone so brazen as to poach right in front of him.

It was true that as a B-Class Expert, Yanyan was in high demand, but even if you wanted to poach, shouldn’t you at least do it behind someone’s back?

Just as Qing Chen was about to say something, he heard Yanyan chuckling, “No need, I think the Daytime is really nice. The people here speak well, and everyone is so talented; I really love it here.”

Chen Sui thought to himself… Talented?

He cast a glance at the two Slime creatures beside him… Are these really talents?

Qing Chen looked at Yanyan.

The fact was that this girl had always been on the fringes of the Daytime. She told outsiders that she was part of Daytime, but she had her own clear goals.

And those goals didn’t align with Daytime’s.

So Qing Chen himself never truly considered Yanyan a part of Daytime. He knew that their respective goals could not be tied together.

Nevertheless, being friends was about seeking common ground while accepting differences.

Chen Sui, looking at Qing Chen, asked Yanyan, “This guy hasn’t said a word for quite a while and seems to have a bad temper?”

Qing Chen was startled; how did this turn into gossip?

But then he heard Yanyan seriously say to Chen Sui, “Don’t ever say that; be careful, he might just snap your head off if he gets angry.”

Qing Chen: “…”

Chen Sui: “…”

Yanyan, unable to contain her laughter, looked at Qing Chen, “Come on, smile a little. It’s so much fun!”

Chen Sui watched Yanyan and Qing Chen joking around, treating him like he was just some ‘random person’, and it made him feel quite awkward.

Since founding the Matrix, this was his first time facing a Waterloo in social interactions.

Just then, Kunlun’s Lu Yuan entered the venue first, distributing materials to all the Time Travelers.

Chen Sui breathed a sigh of relief; if Kunlun’s people didn’t show up soon, he was about to lose his composure.

Yanyan watched Chen Sui and other Matrix members leave, then smilingly said to Qing Chen, “Does my undying loyalty to the Daytime touch you at all?”

Qing Chen glanced at Yanyan, “I’ve already asked Luo Wanya to take control of the Parents’ Meeting. The next time he travels through time, he’ll bring some educational materials to enlighten the public. However, the Inner World Consortium’s policy of keeping the public ignorant has been too successful; these things will have to be done gradually.”

Yanyan’s eyes lit up, and she said very earnestly, “Thank you!”

Lu Yuan walked over; he wanted to personally distribute the materials for the Daytime side.

Qing Chen took the materials from Lu Yuan’s hands, but Lu Yuan suddenly pinched a corner of the materials and whispered to Qing Chen, “Don’t stir up trouble anymore, okay? Kunlun finally managed to form a Time Traveler Federation, don’t mess it up for us!”

“What are you saying, as if I have anything to do with it,” Qing Chen pretended to be clueless.

Lu Yuan didn’t continue to argue, “This time the Daytime have to nominate someone to be a Director, think carefully about who you want to nominate.”

“We Daytime will not participate,” Qing Chen declared.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, “Do you really think all your activities within the country are both legal and ethical? With great power comes great responsibility; don’t give us this hypocrisy. If you have a person as a Director, the next time you stir up things in Europe or North America, at least you’ll have someone on your side, sort of an official back-up, and Kyushu will definitely find a way to bring you home.”

Yanyan chuckled from the side, all the organizations were discussing how to snatch a position as a Director, but here at Daytime, Kunlun had to resort to threats and incentives to make them nominate someone.

Everyone knew that being a chairman, vice-chairman, or director, no matter how much Kunlun emphasized that it was a service role, status was still status.

Therefore, many organizations were dead set on grabbing it.

Yanyan said to Qing Chen with a smile, “Still fancy being a carefree wanderer? Kunlun won’t let you off that easily.”

Lu Yuan wasn’t pleased, “Young lady, don’t say that; it’s really a good thing.”

Qing Chen pondered, “Isn’t it a secret ballot? Can Kunlun really choose whoever they want?”

Lu Yuan explained, “You don’t need to worry about that. There will be 7 Directors in total. First, 9 candidates will be chosen. Then, all candidates will take the stage to campaign, followed by a second round of voting.”

Qing Chen said, “Daytime’s Yanyan can become a Director of the Federation, but there’s one condition. Could you also include Bright Commune’s Qing Yuan among the 9 candidates?”

Yanyan: “…”

Lu Yuan hesitated slightly, “I’ll have to discuss this with the boss, but I warn you, no more fighting during the Federation period.”
