Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 898: 553, One’s Uncle

“The demigod of the Jindai family has fallen?!”

This sentence exploded like thunder in the PCA Intelligence Department One in City No. 10.

In that large office, people who had been reading the newspaper or drinking tea all looked up in shock.

The star-chasing Qing Shi put down her phone.

Even those detectives watching the Federation football game and betting turned to look at where the voice came from.

This feeling was like a startling spring thunder that caused the insects to surface…

The fall of a demigod, news capable of shaking the entire Federation.

It’s like a star falling from the sky.

Qing Shi and Qing Wen looked at Qing Xing, Qing Wen frowned and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not talking nonsense, I received a new daily from Hu’s Information Agency, and it says it!” Qing Xing explained, “Hu’s wouldn’t make such claims without evidence; they’re not like unscrupulous journalists spreading rumors! Today’s daily not only mentioned the fall of Jindai Chika, but also stated that Qing Chen has already brought back the Li Family and Qing Family personnel from the entire A02 base.”

Qing Xing continued, “Just this morning, two A-Class Floating ships took these people away, and a medal ceremony was completed on-site.”

Hu’s Information Agency’s daily is published every morning at 8, like a newspaper subscription, with an annual membership fee of 8 million, filled with explosive news about superhumans.

Of course, the most crucial intelligence is sold separately; for instance, such news of a demigod’s fall, which cannot be hidden, would be released by Hu’s in advance.

When Hu’s Information Agency first launched the online daily, many said no one would subscribe for something so expensive, but they were wrong.

As it turned out, a single consortium might subscribe to more than twenty copies, with each faction subscribing without sharing with others.

In the entire Federation, any organization with a bit of ambition and initiative would subscribe.

Even wealthy superhumans would subscribe out of boredom, after all, higher-level superhumans are never short of money, and many B-Class superhumans are already immensely wealthy.

Eight million a year is nothing to them.

When everyone subscribes and you don’t, your information will lag far behind others.

Half of the content in Hu’s daily is just gossip, like some Awakener deciding to star in a movie or some Cultivator hooking up with a celebrity, or a Cultivator being kept by a big shot of a consortium.

There’s also news of a consortium big shot catching a rare pet from a Taboo Land.

Reading these is just for fun, after all, there’s nothing else to do when idle.

But the daily also contains very important content: such as some Taboo item suddenly changing hands, and who currently owns it, or any new Taboo items appearing in the Federation.

Occasionally, major events like today’s would appear.

Today’s daily only had two events: Qing Chen has destroyed the A02 base, safely bringing over 900 prisoners back to the Central Plains.

The other event is that a demigod has fallen!

At this moment, Qing Wen and Qing Shi also took out their phones, confirming that Hu’s Information Agency has verified the news: Jindai Chika died from severe injuries after battling Chen Yu!

The battle location was the Snowfield Unmanned Zone in the north.

Compared to the fall of a demigod, everything Qing Chen did seemed insignificant, but wise people would notice the correlation between these two events.

Qing Chen’s destruction of A02 base and the demigod’s fall are definitely not two isolated events!

The Shadow Candidates fell into silence in the office, everyone lost in their thoughts.

Initially, everyone thought the genius Qing Chen of the Qing Family was destined to perish, considering that the Qing Family and Li Family deployed so many resources yet couldn’t save him.

How could anyone survive being taken to the Jindai’s rear stronghold? Unless turned into a vegetative state like Qing Mu, with no further value.

Within the Qing Family, many factions stopped paying attention to this matter, but just as everyone almost forgot about Qing Chen, he slaughtered his way out of that Polar Chill.

Not only that, but he also brought back all the prisoners from the Qing Family and Li Family using a steam train.

This feat was enough to deify him within the Qing Family, and at least in the Shadow Troop, some people secretly started calling Qing Chen the Military God, with other factions’ divisions gradually adopting this trend.

The faction leaders did not openly suppress it, instead allowing this sentiment to spread within the military for now.

The Military God Qing Chen, this new title seemed quite fitting, yet this sudden deification of a descendant of Qing above all the Shadow Candidates made Qing Wen and others feel uncomfortable.

Clearly, the Shadow Candidates should have been the focus of everyone’s attention.

However, this gradually rising Military God Qing Chen, it seemed, did not return with the prisoners; Qing Wen heard that the Ginkgo Medal was not awarded this morning, Qing Chen was absent!

Qing Wen glanced at others, then sent a message to one of his Kite Falcons: “Investigate Qing Chen, I want all his information.”

After waiting a few seconds, the Kite Falcon replied: “I refuse.”

Qing Wen was slightly stunned, as he was the superior of Kite Falcons in the Spy Bureau.

Before now, Kite Falcons had never refused any of his requests, but now suddenly changed attitude.

Qing Wen frowned and sent a message to another Kite Falcon, only to get a similarly concise reply: “Refuse.”

Qing Wen’s temple veins throbbed, suppressing his anger, he asked: “Why.”

This Kite Falcon replied: “?”

The meaning of the Kite Falcon was very clear: When I type a question mark, it’s not me who has a problem, but you who have a problem.

This Qing Chen, a newly decorated hero of the Qing Family, and you want to investigate him? Best ask if all the Qing intelligence personnel agree first.

Needless to say, the feelings of the Qing intelligence personnel were quite conflicted.

At first, when Qing Chen said he wanted to exchange Qing Mu, some intelligence personnel secretly saluted him.

Later, when Qing Chen himself was captured, the intelligence personnel became furious, and several spies went to the Caramel Bar below to volunteer for a rescue mission.

Later, when everyone confirmed Qing Chen was locked in a pigsty, all the intelligence personnel began to feel sad.

Now Qing Chen has played a big reversal, and the intelligence personnel wish they could take a month’s leave to celebrate by drinking every day.

Of course, this is an idealized way of putting it, but the real situation is, anyone who wants to investigate or threaten Qing Chen, or treat Qing Chen as an imaginary enemy, is an enemy of all Spy Bureau intelligence personnel.

Qing Wen put down his phone with a frown, it seems he needs to use his father’s people.

No, he should first provoke others to also feel the threat from Qing Chen.

Qing Wen looked at Qing Shi: “Xiao Shi, what do you think about this matter?”

Qing Shi was stunned for a moment: “So what if Jindai’s Demigod dies?”

As she spoke, she printed out the photo of Qing Chen from the Hu’s Information Agency daily and pasted it on her office cubicle wall.

On the photo, it said in fluorescent pen, “Go Qing Chen brother.”

Qing Wen: “??? ”

Just when Qing Wen was feeling worried, Qing Chen, who was re-entering everyone’s sights, suddenly disappeared.

…

…

In City No. 22, all the neon lights in the city had turned red, preparing to welcome the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Various virtual stores were offering discounts and promotions, and some places had timely launched better-tasting, dumpling-shaped synthetic proteins for the poor to improve their diets during the New Year Festival.

Qing Chen silently walked along the long street towards the Ninth District.

Suddenly, he saw a magician in a tuxedo standing at the street corner, happily performing close-up magic, surrounded by children.

This slender magician was so young, looking like he was only around twenty years old.

He took off his top hat, revealing a head of silver-white hair, and when he smiled, his big eyes squinted into slits, looking particularly kind.

Qing Chen couldn’t help but stop.

Seeing the magician put a deck of cards into the hat, he tilted it to let the children see the cards inside.

The next second, the hat in his hand suddenly flipped, and countless candies poured out continuously from the hat’s brim.

Those candies were colorful and very beautiful, and the children scrambled to squat down and pick them up.

At first, Qing Chen thought the hat had a mechanism, just a secret compartment that switched the cards for candies.

But then he changed his mind, because the magician held the hat high above his head, letting the candies fall and bury him into a small hill.

The volume of those candies far exceeded the limit a hat could bear!

When the candies completely buried the magician, some children curiously pushed aside the candies, but the magician was already gone!

Qing Chen felt a hint of surprise, what is this if not magic? This is clearly magic!

This is a Transcendent!

But just as he was about to leave, someone suddenly called out to him from behind: “Qing Chen?”

Qing Chen turned abruptly, only to see the magician smilingly looking at him.

But the problem is, when he came to City No. 22, he had already changed his appearance with Taboo ACE-005, how could the other person recognize him?

The magician smiled and said, “Allow me to introduce myself, I am Yi’s uncle, Li Shentan.”

Qing Chen was stunned in place.

The name Li Shentan was too familiar.

In all Federation histories, it is recorded that Li Shentan single-handedly blocked the tide of millions during the last era of human civilization’s end.

Ultimately, because Li Shentan’s integration with the world exceeded 70%, his physical body vanished, and his consciousness was imprisoned above the vast sky.

Moreover, the other person said he’s Yi’s uncle.

Since when did Yi have an uncle?

No, no, this is Yi’s brother. It’s just that he doesn’t admit it himself.

At first, Qing Chen was curious why Yi’s brother wouldn’t let Yi call him that, now he understands, it’s because of the generation difference…

Qing Chen calmed down: “Hello, is there something you need?”

Li Shentan smiled and said, “If you continue to coax my niece to help you cause trouble, and teach her online romance, I will kill you.”

Qing Chen was stunned for a while, so it’s for this matter?

But the problem is, he admits coaxing Yi to help do things, but what on earth is teaching her online romance, Yi actually put the blame on him!
