Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1019: 633, friend from afar, Ding Dong_2

Back then, the reason Sun Chu Ci insisted on going to the Agricultural College was quite simple. As soon as Qing Chen became a board member, the college added an Agricultural College.

He always felt this had something to do with Qing Chen!

Fate did not disappoint him.

At this moment, Sun Chu Ci blankly asked, “Boss, where are you going?”

Qing Chen laughed and said, “I think you don’t have a destination either. How about giving me a lift? Let’s travel together for a while.”

Tuan Zi suddenly woke up from a dream: “Oh, okay, okay! But we only have one car, it can’t fit so many people. Why don’t you guys drive? The front two rows can seat five people, and Chu Ci bro and I can sit in the truck bed.”

Qing Chen shook his head and laughed, “It’s your car, how could we let you sit in the truck bed? Don’t worry, let Zard sit in the front and the four of us will all sit in the truck bed.”

Zard eyed Qing Chen suspiciously: “Boss, why do I feel like you’re all excluding me?”

“Excluding or not excluding,” Shadow said, “it’s about letting you guide these two friends, which is very important, understand?”

Zard’s eyes lit up: “A navigator? I get it!”

At this moment, a few people in Sun Chu Ci’s team suddenly asked, “Qing Chen, can we follow along?”

Qing Chen pointed to the pickup truck: “I just heard your conversation. Now there’s only one car, and the truck bed can only seat the four of us, so there’s no room, right?”

The team members looked at each other, hesitant, unsure of what to say.

The next moment, one team member mustered up the courage: “Actually, the snow leopard isn’t broken, we can go get it.”

Sun Chu Ci was stunned: “Didn’t you say it was broken?”

Things always have priorities, the team members wanted to stay in the city for missions, so they lied about the car being broken and unable to leave.

But it’s different now, Qing Chen has appeared.

Given Qing Chen’s current momentum, a thousand college tasks don’t compare to traveling with Qing Chen. Everyone could do that calculation.

Sun Chu Ci was clear-headed and rational, so he wasn’t upset from the start, after all, everyone has their own pursuits.

But at this moment, he realized that his former teammates chose to deceive him to avoid going with him, and this realization began to sadden him.

However, Qing Chen smiled and said, “No need for all that trouble, Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi can drive us. Let’s meet again if fate allows.”

As everyone got into the car, Qing Chen took out an electronic beacon and stuck it on the back of the vehicle. The pickup truck slowly exited the border control gate and disappeared into the wilderness.

The five team members were left behind, dumbfounded, watching the pickup drive away.

They suddenly realized they might have missed out on some very important opportunities.

In the truck bed, Qing Chen, Shadow, and Yang Yang started playing cards, laughing and joking.

Others would find going into the wilderness dangerous and terrifying, but to them, it was like a spring outing.

Indeed, spring had arrived.

Inside the car, Tuan Zi finally couldn’t hold back her tears, and Sun Chu Ci laughed, “Why are you crying?”

Tuan Zi wiped her tears: “I didn’t expect them to lie about the car being broken, if they don’t want to go then just say so, why lie?”

Sun Chu Ci said, “Everyone has different thoughts; it’s fine now.”

Zard, sitting behind them, grinned and said, “We, the Agricultural College students, aren’t worse than anyone else… just like the dean says!”

In the truck bed, Qing Chen said, “This time, we’re going to fulfill my agreement with Ding Dong first. He promised he’d prepare lots of good food. You ought to go and have a taste too, bro.”

Thinking that an adorable giant was waiting for him in the Taboo Land, for some reason, a warmth enveloped Qing Chen’s heart.

Shadow grinned and said, “Sure, Ding Dong has lived there for decades, and the old folks treat him like a treasure, even the mystical creatures in the Taboo Land dare not mess with him. If he wants to host you, it’ll surely be a lavish affair. As your brother, I’ll get to enjoy some of the perks.”

“Have you met Ding Dong before, bro?” Qing Chen asked.

“When I used to follow your grandmaster climbing the green cliffs, I met him. Back then, he wasn’t as tall as he is now. Your grandmaster said that the old folks especially dote on him,” Shadow reminisced.

Qing Chen thought to himself, the grandmaster Shadow mentioned must be Li Xiuyu, master of Uncle Li, Chen Jiazhang, and Wang Xiaojiu.

Shadow continued, “Ding Dong’s mother passed away shortly after he was born, and it’s the creatures of the Taboo Land who raised him. Your grandmaster said Ding Dong isn’t very clever. To the old folks, all knights are like children venturing off, and all they can do is watch you leave the 002 Taboo Land, and it might be a decade before you return. Ding Dong, with his simple, filial nature, goes nowhere and stays with them in the 002 Taboo Land.”

Qing Chen listened quietly.

Suddenly, Shadow said, “This time when you go back, those old folks might propose a deal to you.”

Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, “What kind of deal?”

Shadow said, “They might ask you to leave a child in the 002 Taboo Land, so you can freely roam the world, and they’ll help raise your child… Haha, they proposed this deal to your grandmaster, your master, and your uncle too, but no one agreed. Now it’s probably your turn!”

Qing Chen: “…”

Yang Yang murmured, “Those old folks got the wrong person. He only knows Merkaba.”
