Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 204 173, Unfathomable boss

”What level are you now?” Qing Chen asked.

He walked shoulder to shoulder with Yangyang on the sidewalk after the rain, the ground covered with leaves patted down by the downpour, clinging tightly to the surface.

Qing Chen suddenly realized that the girl was really tall; at his height of 1.82 meters, he could look at her at eye level when he turned his head, no need to lower it at all.

Experience more on empire

Yangyang, with the hood of her sweatshirt over her head, answered, ”I donʼt even know what level I am.”

”How can you not know your own level?!” Qing Chen exclaimed in surprise.

”I was on the high-speed train to Los Angeles City when a countdown suddenly appeared on my arm,” Yangyang explained. ”By the time I passed through, I was alone in the wilderness with my Federal ID Card and some living supplies in my travel bag beside me. When I got back to Federal City, I was unfamiliar with everything and afraid to ask questions.”

Qing Chen realized, so sheʼs a lone wolf after all.

In theory, Transcendents can travel through time since they havenʼt changed their genes, and thereʼs a Transcendent among the Time Travelers controlled by the Li Family.

However, to become such a powerful Transcendent just by traveling through time, she must be someone chosen by destiny, right?

Qing Chen asked, ”Then do you know how you train?”

”Iʼm an Awakener; I donʼt need to train,” Yangyang paused before responding, ”Donʼt you know? Although both Awakeners and Cultivators are Transcendents and both develop human potential, they are completely different paths.”

”For instance, Uncle Li Dong is a Cultivator. Their Knight Organization has its own legacy; successors can follow the path their predecessors took, releasing their potential step by step and steadily.”

”For example, I am an Awakener. I donʼt need to train normally, but can continue to awaken and ascend to higher levels when greatly stimulated. Thereʼs an old saying in the Inner World that has been passed down for a long time, ʼWhen disaster strikes, the spirit and willpower are humanityʼs primary weapons against danger.ʼ”

Qing Chen remarked, ”Awakeners seem to have it easy, not having to train and all, not that hard.”

”But the fate of Awakeners is entirely up to luck,” Yangyang explained. ”Cultivatorsʼ abilities are always combat-oriented, but itʼs not the same for Awakeners. When I was doing research, I found that one Awakenerʼs ability is to blow bubbles... really big bubbles! And another Awakenerʼs ability is that the people around them are sure to touch either snot or chewing gum when they reach under a table!

And yet another Awakener can heal others.”

At this point, Yangyang summarized, ”After a Cultivator succeeds, they are inevitably top laners, mid laners, or ADCs, while itʼs more down to luck for Awakeners. Some might end up core players like me, or they might become support or jungle players... or even turn into monsters or cannon fodder.”

Qing Chen nodded, ”Hm, that explanation is very easy to understand...”

Becoming a monster as an Awakener, that really is too tragic.

”By the way, which city are you in?” Qing Chen asked casually.

Yangyang glanced at him and said, ”I already told you, ask me for my secrets when youʼre willing to exchange yours.”

Lastly, Qing Chen asked, ”Then can you tell me why you canʼt find your own home but were able to find me? I donʼt believe you just happened to see me from the sky.”

”I can tell you that,” Yangyang replied, ”You should have guessed that my ability is to control force fields, right? I heard youʼre a genius, so that was easy to figure out.”

”Hmm,” Qing Chen nodded.

”Everyone has their own force field, which although constantly changed by the environment, the signature of a person is unique,” Yangyang said. ”I remembered your force field and sensed it, itʼs as simple as that.”

Itʼs like the ability of homing pigeons to sense the magnetic field, always finding their way home, because they have an organ in their beaks that can feel the magnetic field, guiding them in the right direction.

Qing Chen looked at her intently, ”So, you actually knew which one was the real me just now.”

”Ah,” Yangyang exclaimed, ”I let it slip; I wanted to pretend I didnʼt know!”

Amidst the torrential rain, both Qing Chen and Xu Yicheng were wearing rain capes.

In the eyes of others, Xu Yicheng was playing the role of ”Qing Chen,” but to Yangyang, she could see something more essential through appearances: the force fields.

No need to look at the rain cape, nor the fighting style, just need to look at Qing Chenʼs force field.

Now it was Qing Chenʼs turn to feel a bit embarrassed; all his elaborate maneuvers were for naught, as he hadnʼt fooled her at all.

Yangyang comforted him, ”Donʼt worry, I wonʼt tell anyone your secret; everyone wants to hide their strength, I get it. But your teammate is quite cooperative, going along with your act.”

”Stop pretending,” Qing Chen sighed, ”You can directly sense the force field, so you must be able to feel the connection between us.”

”Oh, you guessed that too,” Yangyang said curiously, ”Iʼve indeed been wondering what exactly the link between you is, are you controlling him?”

”I wonʼt tell you,” Qing Chen felt a bit of toothache, as the girl knew quite a few of his secrets.

However, he believed she still couldnʼt be completely certain that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, because his force field had definitely changed after climbing up the sheer cliff!

He changed the subject, ”So if you can sense the force field and can fly, how come you canʼt find the force field coordinates of your own home?”

”Because itʼs too far away,” Yangyang spoke, ”Xingshu Road is already beyond the range of my perception, which is about 200 meters or so.”
