Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 205 173, Unfathomable Boss_2

”Then you could try following the geomagnetic coordinates along the road,” Qing Chen said.

”There are too many; I canʼt remember them all,” Young Young replied, ”Plus, Iʼm still not quite used to converting ʼvisionʼ into ʼinductionʼ.”

Qing Chen understood what she meant—the girl had only recently become a Transcendent and wasnʼt accustomed to this method of sensing energy fields yet.

It was like when someone first learns English; although they can understand it, they subconsciously translate what they hear into Chinese and then comprehend it with their brain.

And now, Young Young was in a situation where two people were talking to her at the same time, one in English and one in Chinese.

This caused confusion in her perception.

Thatʼs why she had a poor sense of direction!

It wasnʼt that Young Young wanted to be directionally challenged; rather, her natural anomaly had caused her ”force field sense” to override the ”visual sense” of ordinary people!

Wait, Qing Chen suddenly realized a problem, ”Before you crossed over, could you already sense the energy field? Because the perception of the field conflicts with that of sight, causing you to lose your spatial orientation and associative abilities.”

”I never felt the energy field before,” Young Young said in surprise, ”but I always felt like I veered off course easily when walking, as if disturbed by some unknown factor. But now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense.”

Qing Chen came to a realization—her innate difference from others was what made her directionally challenged.

The Young Young from the Inner World, possessing the same body and talents, thus awakened her ability to control energy fields.

The Young Young from the Outer World hadnʼt come across an opportunity for Awakening, so she continued to be directionally challenged.

However, once she got used to the new way of cognition, her poor sense of direction should be curable.

Itʼs much like how most compatriots now instinctively understand words like ”Sorry” or ”Fuck” without needing to translate them into Chinese in their minds.

Qing Chen was pondering a question—Young Young had also encountered very intense situations before, such as the pirate battle in the Indian Ocean.

He believed that at that moment, the never-before-killed Young Young must have been very frightened.

But at that time, she did not awaken.

Could it be understood that the rules of the Outer World are different from those of the Inner World, which is why the Outer World had never heard of Awakeners or Transcendents before?

Perhaps due to the worldʼs rules, the Outer Worldʼs Young Young didnʼt awaken, while the Inner Worldʼs Young Young had already done so.

Very likely!

No, if myths were true, then the Outer World once had transcendent powers too, but for some unknown reason, they vanished.

Of course, myths shouldnʼt be taken seriously.

”Wow, you really are a genius student,” Young Young exclaimed with joy, ”Youʼve explained the problem thatʼs been troubling me for years. Does that mean my poor sense of direction will gradually improve?”

”Logically, that should be the case,” Qing Chen nodded.

”Then to celebrate this discovery, you should cook something delicious tomorrow!” Young Young said joyfully.

”What kind of logic is that?!” Qing Chen was shocked: ”Donʼt you feel embarrassed saying that?”

”Not at all,” Young Young said boldly.

Qing Chen glanced at her, wondering if recruiting such a powerful Transcendent into the team was actually a good choice?

This girl could always sense his true identity through her energy-field perception—it was brutal. At the very least, he needed to find a way to keep her from spilling the beans. Read exclusive adventures at empire

Young Young looked at Qing Chen and said, ”You know, I was quite surprised tonight. I was initially a bit regretful that you took the Genetic Potion, given its limited potential, but now it seems you have other tricks up your sleeve. Did you inject yourself with the Genetic Potion after becoming a Transcendent just so your DNA wouldnʼt match anyone elseʼs?”

”Hmm,” Qing Chen knew he couldnʼt hide his Transcendent identity, so he had to come up with another excuse.

Young Young thought for a moment and asked, ”Last time I saw you, you were just an ordinary person, and now youʼve advanced so quickly. At first, I thought you killed people in close combat using playing cards, but then you were even able to throw them to kill. I thought you were an AD, but turns out youʼre an ADC!”

AD generally refers to a close-combat core role in some games, while ADC refers to a ranged attack core role...

Qing Chen felt a bit speechless—oddly enough, the girlʼs descriptions were quite vivid!

Then he heard Young Young say, ”Now youʼre an ADC, and Iʼm a mid-laner, but we still need a top laner and a jungler... oh right, and a support. If you could scout a few more people, couldnʼt we form a team?”

”Hold on, hold on,” Qing Chen pressed his temples, ”I donʼt play many games, so Iʼm not quite comfortable with these kinds of analogies. And I didnʼt expect you to be such a gamer girl.”

”I donʼt... really have an addiction to gaming,” Young Young hesitated, seeming not completely certain herself.

”Alright then,” Qing Chen waved it off, ”Weʼre home now, everyone to their own homes. Weʼll talk more if thereʼs something tomorrow.”

After getting home, Qing Chen lay back on his bed and pulled out his communicator, which was already filled with messages from Liu Dezhu.

”Boss, my mother has successfully been pulled out of danger; the doctor said it was just a minor concussion!”

”Boss, I canʼt thank you enough for tonight, for getting those two to take action. I, Liu Dezhu, will be forever grateful to anyone who stands by me at such a time!”

The subsequent dozen or so messages were similarly full of thanks, and Qing Chen could even imagine the other personʼs excitement.
