Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1560: Chapter 844: The New Steward of the Forward Base

In the office, Marquis Bolton was deeply immersed in the Superconductor World, while Qing Chen stared at the posters on the wall lost in thought for quite some time. He truly hadn’t expected that one day he could become a spiritual leader for some white people.

He originally thought that his infiltration into the Roosevelt Kingdom should start on the battlefield of the Taboo Forest.

He should strive for promotion, climbing from level 6 freeman all the way up to Baron, or even Marquis.

Just like Yu Zecheng in the TV series ”Infiltration”, only by slowly entering the core could one obtain the most critical intelligence, laying the groundwork for the victory of the Eastern Continent.

Qing Chen now defined himself as the top spy lurking in the West Continent, aiming to develop a vast spy network.

But now, he suddenly felt that this Marquis Bolton in front of him was his best entry point.

Bolton was the husband of the Fifth Princess of the Roosevelt Royalty. To manage the outpost base into such a mess and not be dragged out to be executed shows he has quite a sturdy backing...

By silently doing statistics in this outpost base, he could even calculate the approximate military strength, material quantities, and financial strength of the entire Roosevelt Kingdom.

This was the urgent information needed by the Eastern Continent.

The Marquis’s Office was in disarray, with files piled on the desk so much that you couldn’t distinguish them. Should any rebel spy come here, they would be in despair, as they couldn’t quickly find the information they needed from such a mess of files...

Generally, there ought to be someone specifically cleaning the Marquis’s Office. If there can’t be a female secretary, there must at least be a male secretary, right?

The fact that Bolton’s place was this chaotic indicates that even his subordinates saw him as an easily fooled muddlehead, not taking him seriously at all.

This Marquis Bolton’s life seems to have distributed his points in the game of ’life’ all on charm and luck, where they should have gone to intelligence.

His weaknesses are very pronounced.

Qing Chen meticulously cleaned the office thoroughly, not even leaving the window cracks.

Every place that could be wiped was made sparkling clean, with not even a watermark left by the rag visible.

Qing Chen approached everything with such serious dedication.

In the end, he even organized and archived the files, but he didn’t browse the content of the documents.

A qualified spy must learn to be patient and know how to endure.

At this moment, Officer Corgi came running in from outside, knocking at the door: ”My lord Marquis, something serious has happened...”

Before he finished speaking, he looked at Marquis Bolton’s office, almost thinking he’d come to the wrong place.

Was this pristine and tidy office the one he remembered?

Marquis Bolton also opened his eyes, questioning angrily, ”Don’t you know I am in the Superconductor World? You better have a real issue for me, or else wait for me to hang you from the flagpole at the outpost base... huh, is this my office?”

Bolton gave Qing Chen an astonished look: ”Did you clean and organize this?”

Qing Chen nodded: ”Yes.”

Bolton nodded and said nothing, signaling to Corgi.

Corgi hurriedly said: ”My lord Marquis, a batch of nobles from Black Water City have arrived. I was going to assign them, but they said they have already been incorporated into Marquis Dodge’s forces and refused to accept our deployment... it almost led to a fight!”

Qing Chen understood in his heart that it must be the officers of this outpost base trying to gain advantages in the process of distribution, only to find that the other party had documents protecting them, so they didn’t have to heed them.

The officers caused trouble to come to complain, dragging Marquis Bolton’s authority around.

Marquis Bolton was also infuriated upon hearing this: ”Do they not know whose territory the outpost base is? They say they’ve joined Marquis Dodge’s forces, do they have any documents? They say nonsense without any documents!”

Corgi blinked: ”There aren’t any documents.”

Just then, Qing Chen took out a stamped document from the files he’d organized on the desk and handed it to Marquis Bolton: ”My lord Marquis, if I’m not mistaken, this is their deployment order. However, I only saw the title while categorizing, so I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for.”

Marquis Bolton took the document dubiously, almost forgetting he had this thing.

After looking at it for a while, Marquis Bolton suddenly became angry and looked at Corgi: ”I remember now, didn’t you give this document to me? How could you forget? This is an order directly from the Duke of Blackwater, do you want me impeached by the Duke of Blackwater?! Don’t think I don’t know your little schemes, get out! Go apologize to this troop, and your performance for this month is docked!”

Corgi’s face turned gray with anger, and he gave Qing Chen a fierce look as he left.

He intended to leverage Marquis Bolton’s poor memory to have him suppress this matter, but he was thwarted by Qing Chen in the process.

He took note of this.

After Corgi left, Marquis Bolton glanced at Qing Chen: ”You looked at the files? Do you know these documents are classified?”

Qing Chen calmly replied: ”No, I spent a total of over 40 minutes cleaning the office, and had no time to read all the files, only saw the titles for organizing. On the left are the deployment orders from each Duke’s office, in the middle are the material requisitions, and on the right are the military assistance letters.”

Marquis Bolton was silent for a moment: ”I was looking for an order from the Duke of Storm City and couldn’t find it.”

Qing Chen pulled out a file from the left: ”Is it this one?”
