Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1235: Chapter 704: Knights and Couriers! (Part 3)

Ye Han sighed and said, “We didn’t pass the challenge of the Green Mountain Cliff and became failures.”

Zard laughed cheerfully and said, “What’s there to be upset about? There will be plenty more failures in the future.”

Suddenly, a girl started crying.

Zard looked at Xiao Yu and asked, “Did I say something wrong? What I meant was, there are many setbacks in life, and it’s okay to get up after falling.”

Xiao Yu thought for a moment, “Zard brother, what you said earlier wasn’t really this.”

I must say, seeking Zard for psychological relief when sad is like lighting a cigarette for comfort when there’s a gas leak—the harm multiplies.

The small gate of the War Fortress opened, and Qing Chen slowly walked in.

Ye Han leaned in and asked, “Boss, can we challenge again? I accidentally fell earlier. Give me another chance, and I can definitely climb up.”

Qing Chen shook his head in front of them, “No, when you fail in the challenge without risking your life, you don’t have real reverence for the Green Mountain Cliff. Even if you succeed at the challenge then, it won’t matter. Although it’s unfortunate, I’ll give you another path: Knight Courier, God of Thunder.”

These people fell off the cliff and were eventually caught by a large net conjured by Jinguji Maki.

Qing Chen had Xiao Zhenji create mist to prevent those who succeeded from seeing where the failures ended up.

The simulated sounds of people hitting the ground were also to make those still challenging think the failures were truly dead.

Actually, it didn’t matter even if the successful ones knew the failures hadn’t died. He just hoped the successful ones would carry more weight as they moved forward.

He wanted them to know that everything they gained came with difficulty.

“Not only can you not challenge again, but you must act as though you’ve died and hide your identity,” Qing Chen said, “You’re not allowed to contact past companions or even let them know you’re alive. They will carry your mission forward while you stay in the War Fortress to cultivate.”

Qing Chen couldn’t bear to let these couriers all fall to their deaths below the Green Mountain Cliff.

After all, these people were resilient, and with slight training, they could be quite useful. By cultivating God of Thunder on Zhi Lanxing, they would at least be B-Class, capable of handling things independently.

If all these people died, it would be a huge loss for the Knight Organization.

But he couldn’t let other knights lose their reverence, so he had to hide the fact that these people survived.

Qing Chen had Hu Xiaoniu take the knights away for training, while these couriers stayed on Whale Island for farming and cultivation.

Ye Han suddenly asked, “Boss, when can we see them again?”

Qing Chen replied, “When they become true knights, or when you can become their Protectors.”

Saying this, he looked at the vegetable garden, “Xiao Qi, you come and lead them to quickly grasp all the farming processes; you’ll all be the same, farming by day, cultivating here by night!”

All forces under Qing Chen’s command must enter a period of rapid development, racing against time.

…

…

Countdown 134:00:00.

On Whale Island, there’s a large library where the Time Travelers learn quietly.

Everyone is well-mannered, even getting up to leave without making noise that disturbs others.

But today something unexpected happened; noise gradually emerged at the library entrance, disturbing Time Travelers inside, causing them to frown.

Someone whispered, “Is there no decorum, being loud in the library?”

The next second, the speaker saw Qing Chen and Luo Wanya walk in, immediately losing composure, “Little Dean! Little Dean! Little Dean, give me an autograph!”

Qing Chen looked at the Time Travelers surrounding him and calmly explained, “Everyone, please return to your seats, don’t disturb others from reading. We are here to browse and study materials, just like you.”

His words seemed magical, and the Time Travelers quickly returned to their seats, afraid of making the Little Dean think they lacked decorum.

Qing Chen selected ten full books from the shelf before sitting down; he and Luo Wanya were here to recharge for managing City 10.

Previously, Qing Chen had read extensively, remembering useful and useless things first in bookstores. But compared to the variety in the library, bookstore books were too few, so he planned to spend a few days here to find anything to learn from.

Some Time Travelers secretly glanced at Qing Chen, wondering how long it would take to read ten books at once.

But very quickly, they saw the Little Dean rapidly flipping through the books as if playing, the pages turning like blown by the wind.

The Time Travelers were stunned; can such reading efficiency be achieved by humans?

No one thought Qing Chen was pretending because earlier, when planning routes for 99 Time Traveler teams, they had witnessed the terrifying Memory Power of the Little Dean.

Life had calmed down, and Qing Chen was enriching himself. In another week or two, once he handled the affairs of City 10, he would embark on a new journey to complete the next life-and-death test.

Elsewhere, Xiao San held his phone, searching through loan installment apps on his phone, finding Time Travelers one by one.

He stood outside a dormitory and solemnly said, “This Time Traveler, you previously took a loan for four Immortality fruits and four sets of Jingshan tea leaves, totaling 800 points. Remember, the first installment is due next week, don’t be late! If you delay, you’ll be punished with manual labor! Plus, until you repay the loan, you’ll be restricted from high spending in the academy—no private cinema visits, no stir-fried dishes, no beer.”

Restricted high consumption…

The Time Travelers inside the dormitory were dumbfounded; the disaster had just passed, and everyone hadn’t recovered, yet now they were burdened with hefty loans.

For 800 points, he needs to labor for at least a month, unable to eat stir-fried dishes or drink beer.

What happened to the camaraderie at the defensive line in Zone 3?

Where was the Xiao San who once encouraged everyone to survive? How did he suddenly become this debt-collecting landlord?

Things have changed!

The Time Traveler lamented, “Your turnaround speed is faster than the Little Dean flipping through books!”

Xiao San checked the accounts, smiling, “Not quite that fast.”

The Time Traveler: “…”
