Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1313: Chapter 731: The Path to Godhood (Part 2)

But to so blatantly exploit a bug in the Taboo Land during battle, this is the first time I’ve seen something like this, the Great Elder thought.

Normally, triggering the rules means certain death for an average person, and an A-Class might just barely escape. But now the rule triggered is being used by Qing Chen as a means to an end.

At this moment, Zard shook himself, sending hundreds of bullets scattering from his body, and laughed heartily, “This time the Felicity fruit is safe.”

The Great Elder thought to himself, this is something ordinary people can’t manage; if I were to lure hate from the human-faced bug, I’d be riddled with holes the moment I left the cave.

“Wait, return the remaining two Felicity fruits to us!” The Great Elder sternly said, “I still need to pick these for Yiyi.”

Zard chuckled and said, “Our boss said, after this mission, the two Felicity fruits will be transplanted to our Outer World Whale Island, and when new ones are cultivated, we’ll return them to you. What’s it called again… Oh right, surrogate fruit.”

The Great Elder rubbed his forehead, “Could you use a different adjective? This makes me feel like I’ve been cuckolded.”

“Don’t get hung up on this, the Felicity fruits will be returned to you,” Qing Chen said as he walked, puzzled, “A secret base hidden in the deepest part of a karst cave, just what kind of important secret would require such extensive effort?”

Building a secret base in the wilderness caves alone, with the transportation of supplies, construction materials, and development equipment, is indeed a headache.

It must be something extremely important, right?

“Several of Tinder Company’s bases have been unearthed, all in relatively hidden places,” the Great Elder said, “This company has existed since the previous civilization era, and back then it was always an illegal company, with its research unable to see the light of day, so naturally it had to be concealed. Of course… such concealed locations are rare, it surely cost them a fortune.”

Qing Chen understood that human civilization in the previous era was actually quite similar to the current Outer World, and a company as shady as this certainly would be incompatible with secular law and morals.

“Let’s go down and see, at least to understand what’s below for peace of mind,” Qing Chen said, “With the human-faced bugs around, the Chen Clan can’t come through for a while; even a field brigade would struggle to eliminate nearly a hundred thousand human-faced bugs.”

The group returned to the safe house, where they saw Chen Jiazhang and Da Yu tussling like children.

Chen Jiazhang was using one palm to hold Da Yu’s chin while his other hand gripped Da Yu’s arm firmly, yelling, “Today I’ll teach you what respect for elders is about, call me Uncle Five! Don’t call me old geezer!”

Da Yu was tugging at Chen Jiazhang’s messy hair, yelling, “You think you deserve to be Uncle Five?! You can’t even see what kind of a jerk Chen Chuanzhi is, living all these years for nothing! If you had just taken Chen Chuanzhi out back then, would my mom be crying her eyes out now?”

Qing Chen: “…”

The Great Elder: “…”

This is intense?

You all just went out to fight, and now you end up like this?

Moreover, Da Yu has even admitted his identity…

Qing Chen curiously asked, “Weren’t you two fine before we left…”

Da Yu angrily said, “Ask him yourself, what does my father have to do with him, and yet he insists on meddling!”

Chen Jiazhang also said furiously, “Your father would be so happy to know he has a son like you! Shouldn’t he be told?”

Da Yu: “I spit!”

Chen Jiazhang: “I spit, spit, spit!”

Qing Chen was at a loss; these two A-Class experts were acting like kids, and Da Yu’s aloof persona was completely gone!

Luckily, Da Yu didn’t go all out, or Chen Jiazhang’s head would be a balding hairdo by now.

“Alright, enough of that, stop fighting,” Qing Chen and Zard pulled the two apart.

Qing Chen, still injured internally, could hardly muster the strength, and it took him quite a while to separate them: “Hold on with the fighting, we discovered a secret base belonging to the Knight Company, and we’re planning on exploring it.”

Chen Jiazhang was momentarily confused, “When did our Knights establish a company?!”

The Great Elder said regretfully, “That’s the Tinder Company’s secret base.”

Qing Chen nodded, “Now it belongs to the Knights.”

The Great Elder: “…”

Qing Chen glanced at his arm and said, “We’re about to return, next time we crossover, we’ll set off immediately; the human-faced bugs won’t be able to delay the Chen Corporation’s army for long, we should explore quickly and leave this hellhole.”

This is the best chance, as the secret base’s guards have been relocated, leaving it defenseless.

Countdown to zero.

Return.

…

…

Countdown 168:00:00.

Still in the inn at Nan Chi Town.

Outside, international hikers were startled by the sound of explosions, while in front of him were Jindai Yunlo and Yangyang.

Just as Qing Chen returned, he started coughing violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood again.

At this moment, the damage to his internal organs was still severe.

Jindai Yunlo and Yangyang were shocked by the scene.

Yangyang hurriedly poured Qing Chen a cup of hot water, “What’s going on, I was going to ask you, we agreed to meet at the wilderness settlement, where did you run off to?”

Qing Chen took a sip of water and said, “I was supposed to head to the wilderness settlement, but I woke up surrounded by the Chen Corporation’s army, and Chen Yu was with them. They were driving over 1,300 refugees into Taboo Land No. 008, and we fought with Chen Yu there. We escaped heavily injured, but we’re temporarily safe.”
