Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1788: Chapter 937: Can I Take a Golden Souvenir? (2)

At first, the con artists thought Qing Chen seemed quite friendly, looking harmless.

Now, when they looked at Qing Chen again, wasn’t he just a smiling demon?

They even almost thought, with this kind of behavior, that Ren Xiaosu had come back to mess with them!

To say they were unlucky was an understatement; meeting two such wily characters like Ren Xiaosu and Qing Chen in a lifetime was truly rare.

At this moment, they began to wonder, what kind of person is this guy really?

Seeing that the Giant Race had already controlled the situation, Qing Chen asked, ”So, con artist, have you remembered the containment rules for the twenty-four Heart Swords now?”

The con artist smiled and said, ”I remember, I remember. First, cut open ten fingers, and let a drop of blood from each finger drip onto each of the twenty-four Heart Swords, once every hour for twenty-four hours. After twenty-four hours, they will enter your body. Nurture them for 183 days with your own blood, and you can use them...”

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment: ”That complicated? You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you?”

The con artist looked sincerely at the surrounding giants: ”How could I possibly lie to you right now?”

”Alright,” Qing Chen said to the con artist, ”the next thing, you guys can vote now, and elect me as the container of the Spirit Shrine.”

The Spiritual Beings: ”...”

Who agrees? Who objects?

Who the hell dares to object?

They never dreamed that such a powerful force as themselves would one day be forced to vote!

When Ren Xiaosu set this rule, he hoped they would willingly acknowledge someone and then help them in battle. But now...

This boy is so ruthless, so vicious...

The con artist quickly said, ”We here don’t even make up one-fortieth of the Spiritual Beings. Even if we all agree now, it wouldn’t matter.”

Qing Chen pondered for a moment. If the entire army of 200,000 Spiritual Beings really came, their more than 10,000 giants might not be able to win.

The Parents’ Meeting could come, but the problem is that the family members cannot disregard the rules.

If these Spiritual Beings were really forced to vote, they would probably resist to the death. Besides, each of them once sacrificed themselves for the survival of humanity, it wouldn’t be right to mistreat them.

Forget it.

Qing Chen said to the Second Master, ”Leave half the people to keep an eye on them to prevent anyone from sneaking away to inform others. The remaining half go inside to search for mammals. I’ll wait here, go.”

The Second Master counted the people, and with an ”urrah,” they all rushed into the Taboo Land as if coming home, chasing chickens and dogs everywhere, making quite a commotion in the Taboo Land, No. 001.

The con artist looked back, only to see that the entire forest over the Taboo Land was filled with countless birds startled by the Giant Race.

It was so chaotic!

He looked at Qing Chen: ”You just said you were a Knight.”

Qing Chen replied cheerfully: ”You never asked about my other identities. Anyway, you’re hiding in Taboo Land, No. 001, so you don’t need to worry about who I am or what I do. After today, we’ll part ways.”

For Qing Chen, since he had robbed the Spiritual Beings, it was better to avoid coming to the Taboo Land, No. 001, in the future. In case they held a grudge...

Mostly, the relationship between these people and Ren Xiaosu was too good, and Qing Chen was a bit worried Ren Xiaosu might come looking for him one day.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaoman sat on the ground, writing to the con artist: ”Do you think he’s just as annoying as Ren Xiaosu?”

The con artist thought for a while and wrote back: ”Seems about the same, I felt just as uncomfortable when Ren Xiaosu annoyed me.”

”Do you think we should try to investigate him a little?” Zhang Xiaoman asked, ”Everyone here has been cooped up in the Taboo Land for so long, gambling all the time. It’s getting boring; maybe we should go out and have a fight with him for fun, we’re all sick of this.”

The con artist shook his head: ”What if he’s someone with bad intentions? Let’s wait and watch. Let the humans we have contact with find out about him. What did you say his name was?”

Zhang Xiaoman: ”He hasn’t introduced himself yet.”

The con artist looked up at Qing Chen: ”What’s your name?”

”Chen Yu,” Qing Chen answered absentmindedly as he sat by the campfire.

The con artist was speechless. You look just like Qing Zhen, and you say your surname isn’t Qing but Chen?

This kind of behavior, just like it was cut from the same mold as Ren Xiaosu!

The con artist said nothing more. A demigod from Qing’s Family should be easy to find out about.

The Spiritual Beings weren’t completely isolated from the world. Although they rarely went out, there were many prospectors earning money in the Taboo Land, No. 001.

The prospectors wanting to visit amusement park towns were quite extreme, and there were also some herb pickers working for black market merchants, going in and out in a single day. Sometimes the Spiritual Beings would trade herbs with them for small items.

Finding out about a demigod like Qing Chen wouldn’t be a problem.

Qing Ji and the others lit a campfire in the Taboo Land, and the giants sat around the golden Spiritual Beings, forming a circle.

”Click!”

(They look so delicate all in that gold, can I take one as a souvenir?)

”Wind!”

(I also want to take one as a decoration at home!)

Qing Chen smiled and shook his head: ”You can’t. They are living people with their own thoughts, and they once contributed their strength to mankind. Although we are robbing them now, we still have to hold them in respect.”

The Spiritual Beings: ”...”

This guy can actually connect robbery and respect, two completely unrelated terms, so refreshingly, without blushing!

This is beyond absurd!

At this moment, Qing Chen looked at the con artist: ”There are only a few thousand of you staying at the Spirit Shrine, the others must be up to something in the Taboo Land, right?”

The con artist feigned ignorance: ”No? What can a group of old fogies like us scheme up, they just went out to have fun.”

Qing Chen said: ”I’m just guessing... Just guessing, okay? Could they be involved in agriculture or animal husbandry in the Taboo Land, No. 001, for example, growing some rare plants with special effects?”

Zhang Xiaoman immediately became vigilant: ”Don’t make such blind assumptions!”

The con artist slapped the back of his head: ”With your reaction, even a fool could see through it.”

Qing Chen chuckled.

The con artist looked at Qing Chen seriously: ”Stop overthinking. We really are alone now, but if you probe deeper, these giants really can’t beat us.”

”Understood, that’s all I meant,” Qing Chen said smiling, ”You guys are all seniors, and I’m very polite.”

He drew the Black Knife and cut open his fingertip without frowning, squeezing out a drop of blood onto each of the twenty-four Heart Swords.

Zhang Xiaoman and the con artist watched this, thinking that this ruthless streak did resemble Ren Xiaosu a bit, but just cutting open fingers didn’t reveal much.

The Giant Race set up camp in the Taboo Land, keeping a tight watch on the Spiritual Beings.

It wasn’t until the morning of the fourth day after crossing over that the giants who went deeper into the Taboo Land reappeared... they really returned full of spoils.

The Giant Race itself lived by hunting in the Taboo Forest, where even the forest lords couldn’t escape their clutches, let alone ordinary creatures.

They saw the giants carrying boars in their left hands, peacocks in their right, with rabbits, badgers, and field mice strung on cords around their waists, and a bunch of small animals wrapped in giant leaves on their backs, just like ghosts entering the village.

Watching this, Zhang Xiaoman and others’ eyebrows twitched wildly.

And these were just the average giants.

Led by Wild Wind, the strong warriors of the Giant Race dragged back bizarre-looking bison with strange thunder patterns, moose with mysterious fire runes, and various other peculiar species.

On their way back, the giants sang a military song: ”The sun sets in the west, and the red clouds return with us after target practice.”

The cultural invasion of the Giant Race by human culture was considered complete...

Qing Chen looked at the peacock in Hei Hei Hei’s hand: ”I said only mammals, didn’t I? The genes of other animals cause significant after-effects in humans, they’re basically unusable.”

Hei Hei Hei laughed: ”Hehe.”

(It looked so delicious, so I caught one.)

The reason was so simple and unpretentious.
