Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1786: Chapter 936: Classic Reinforcements_3

”What are the containment conditions?” Qing Chen asked.

Most of the taboo items in this world have conditions, though a few do not. For example, Chen Yu’s Green Ox is still not contained; it’s merely controlled by manipulating Chen Yu, who then controls the Green Ox.

The Big Swindler thought for a long time: ”...I forgot, does anyone here remember the containment conditions for this taboo item?”

”Forgot, forgot, who can remember? We can’t even use this thing.”

”Yeah, forgot.”

Qing Chen took a deep breath. It seemed he would have to find Li Shentan to ask, luckily Li Shentan was still alive; otherwise, this taboo item would remain an unsolved mystery.

He then looked at the Big Swindler: ”What about the secret of becoming a god?”

The Big Swindler countered: ”Are you a knight?”

”I am,” Qing Chen nodded.

”No wonder,” the Big Swindler thought for a moment and then said, ”Ren Xiaosu once explained that only knights can know the secret of becoming a god; it’s of no use if others know. The four prerequisites to becoming a god are: the Black Eye of Truth, used for temporarily sealing one’s spiritual will; completing eight knight death trials to open genetic locks, allowing genes the ability to adapt; getting cancer, which is the beginning of becoming a god; and obtaining the potion from Tinder Company to coexist with cancer, which will change everything.”

”Must all genetic locks be opened?” Qing Chen asked.

”Indeed, that’s what Ren Xiaosu instructed,” the Big Swindler responded: ”Oh, he also mentioned... the path to becoming a god is not smooth; there are still dangers of assimilating with the world, but you must remember, you yourself are a world, not just a part of one.”

”Understood,” Qing Chen finally received an ’official’ answer, feeling a weight lifted from his heart.

Just then, he suddenly coughed violently, spitting out blood.

The Big Swindler was taken aback: ”No wonder you’re seeking the secret of becoming a god...”

”Hmm, I already have the Eye of Truth and the potion to coexist with cancer. Only two death trials remain,” Qing Chen said. ”By the way, I can leave now, right? I want to collect biological genes inside the Taboo Land No. 001 to research A-Class Genetic Potion, is that possible?”

The Big Swindler shook his head: ”That won’t do. What you’ve contained is the Taboo Playground, not the entire Taboo Land. You can’t just ruin the ecosystem of the Taboo Land No. 001 like that.”

Qing Chen raised an eyebrow.

The Big Swindler hurriedly changed his wording: ”What you previously went through were just the playground’s rules. The Taboo Land itself has hundreds of rules. If you delve deep, the rules will surely kill you. Even as a demigod, you might not be able to get out.”

Qing Chen nodded: ”Understood.”

The Big Swindler, dragging his slippers, led him deeper into the Spirit Shrine, a large group of golden Spiritual Beings curiously sending him off at the door.

The Big Swindler said: ”Go out through that door ahead, and you’ll be in the Taboo Land. Walk two kilometers west, and you’ll reach the ginkgo tree. From there, you’ll know where to go, right?”

”Yes, I know,” Qing Chen’s face was unreadable, neither disappointed nor angry.

The Big Swindler probed: ”Even after clearing the Playground, you couldn’t contain the Spirit Shrine, and you were denied capturing creatures from the Taboo Land. Aren’t you upset?”

”Why would I be upset?” Qing Chen said with a smile. ”Didn’t I also obtain two taboo items?”

”Oh, you’re quite content then,” the Big Swindler said with a pout.

In fact, the Spiritual Beings were also observing Qing Chen.

As the first person in a thousand years to clear the Playground, they were naturally curious about Qing Chen’s character and abilities.

If he were indeed like the god-like Ren Xiaosu, or possessed virtues they respected, joining Qing Chen for some adventures wouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover, Qing Chen being a knight naturally gave them a favorable impression.

So, they had the mind to test him, deliberately not telling him how to contain the twenty-four Heart Swords and outright denying Qing Chen’s request.

They wanted to see how Qing Chen would react.

But...

The current indifferent appearance of Qing Chen left them feeling powerless, like punching into cotton, unable to gauge depth.

The Big Swindler and the Spiritual Beings accompanied Qing Chen to the ginkgo tree: ”So, is this where we part ways?”

Qing Chen suddenly turned back and said with a smile: ”Everyone, please wait a moment.”

Just then, Qing Ji emerged from behind the ginkgo tree. Qing Chen looked at Qing Ji: ”Summon them!”

In the next moment, Qing Ji opened the Door of Shadow, and out came the Shadow Troop warriors like Qing Ye, carrying the Twelve Key Doors at a jog.

Soon after, giants began emerging from the Key Doors, curiously surveying the surroundings.

When they saw the Spiritual Beings and the golden ginkgo tree, they said, ”Wow!”

Qing Chen, changing from his previously calm demeanor, grinned and said to the giants, ”Rob them for me, go in and collect species for Scientist No. 2. Don’t miss a single mammal.”

The Spiritual Beings: ”?”
