Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 209 174, Take Me Home_3

”So I take you to breakfast every day, and I shouldnʼt get any benefit from it?” Qing Chen asked.

”Youʼre leading the team members on a team-building exercise, isnʼt that what youʼre supposed to do?” Yan Yan was also puzzled. ”The well-fed team members will help you fight when it matters!”

”Pfft,” Qing Chen spat the mouthwash into the sink. ”Since when did you become a team member? I said I had to ask the boss first!”

”Then you said yesterday you would ask, did you?”

”The boss hasnʼt replied to me yet!”

”Okay, then Iʼll ask you again tomorrow.”

Qing Chen: ”...”

As for this clingy nuisance, he really didnʼt know what to do.

However, he was very clear that this girl wanted to join the team just for fun.

In the morning, just before the bell rang, Qing Chen and Yan Yan walked into the classroom together.

In the back row, Nan Gengchen, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Tianzhen, who had been listless, suddenly perked up.

And Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen, as if they were witnessing something spectacular, exclaimed in admiration internally.

”Is it a coincidence?” Zhang Tianzhen hesitantly asked.

”It must have been a chance encounter when they left,” Hu Xiaoniu thought for a moment. ”With Yan Yanʼs personality, normally three or five boys wouldnʼt dare to approach her.”

”Yeah, it must really be a coincidence,” Zhang Tianzhen said. ”By the way, the news last night jumped into the top three trending topics. Some people say itʼs all because the Wang Family wanted to kill Liu Dezhu.”

Hu Xiaoniu frowned. ”Should we warn the Wang Family together?”

Last nightʼs battle spread faster than imagined.

In just over an hour, it began to trend among the people of Los Angeles City on social media, and then it shot up to the hot searches on Weibo.

There were many refugees initially present on the scene; some even captured Yan Yan descending from the sky, and this video was the most widely circulated.

The video is still a bit blurry, and the lighting is dark. Liu Dezhu is running with his mother on his back. A massive wave is about to hit them but is suppressed by the girl who descends from the sky.

Because of the distance, the girl, wearing a hood, canʼt be clearly seen, but none of this affects the audienceʼs perception of the extraordinary power in the video.

In a sense, this was also the first time that a real Transcendent battle scene appeared in domestic news, completely different from the video effects produced by some internet celebrities to gain popularity.

In the video, Liu Dezhu was recognized by a neighbor, and everyone was full of praise, expressing that at the critical moment, the young man risked his safety to take his mother to the hospital...

Moreover, rumors about that girl also spread—they said she had come specifically to rescue Liu Dezhu.

At this moment, Yu Junyi, who had always refrained from revealing his identity as a Time Traveler, finally couldnʼt hold back. ”Actually, Iʼm also a Time Traveler, just happened to travel to Prison No. 18. Initially, when I saw those mechanical monsters in the prison, I was terrified. Then I met Liu Dezhu, and with him looking after me, other prisoners didnʼt dare to touch me.”

Yu Junyi continued. ”You donʼt know, but Liu Dezhu is so influential in Prison No. 18, I think he might be one of the most powerful Time Travelers now...”

Nan Gengchen sat next to Qing Chen and scoffed; he wrote on a paper note, ”Brother Chen, as soon as Liu Dezhu arrived at school this morning, he was surrounded by those rich kids, crying and shouting about wanting to go to City No. 18 to join him. Some even said they are already on their way.”

Qing Chen wrote on the note: ”If Liu Dezhu is in Prison No. 18, whatʼs the use of them rushing there?”

Nan Gengchen replied, ”Brother Chen, you donʼt know, theyʼve started studying Federation laws, planning to get into prison as a group. They say committing petty crimes wonʼt get them into Prison No. 18; they need to commit tax evasion or participate in gang activities that cause serious injuries to ten or more people.”

Qing Chen gasped in shock—these rich kids really were all talented!

But didnʼt these people consider that after committing the crime, there would still be the investigation phase, the criminal proceedings, and by the time the verdict from the City No. 18 court came through, Liu Dezhu might have already maneuvered his way out of prison.

By then, what would dozens of these rich kids do in Prison No. 18, crying their eyes out?!

When they finally want to get out of prison, it might be much harder than getting in.

Nan Gengchen wrote on the note, ”These rich kids are quite bizarre. After they noticed the countdown on their arms, their first response was to travel with gold bars, completely different from other Time Travelers—theyʼre afraid they wonʼt have money to spend inside.”

Qing Chen sighed—he was the one who took gold bars back to the Outer World, while these people were taking gold bars in, not the same treatment at all.

Nan Gengchen wrote again, ”By the way, Brother Chen, you were also at the scene last night, right...”

”Yeah.”

”Next time something like this happens, can you call me? Iʼll just find a tall building, set up the equipment, and shoot the whole battle in high definition. I heard that a single video can sell for hundreds of thousands!”

Qing Chen was stunned. This seemed like a way to make money!

The paparazzi were all about capturing hot news, and he was right next to the hot spots. Could he create hot spots to make money?

It didnʼt need to be too intense; just selling Liu Dezhuʼs preferences could bring in a decent income.

Of course, Liu Dezhuʼs popularity had waned a bit, so it might not fetch a good price now.

But the new hot topic ”The Girl Who Fell from the Sky” had just invited him to breakfast that morning. Enjoy new stories from empire

Qing Chen slowly turned his gaze toward Yiyi, only to see her looking down at her phone and suddenly saying, ”Look at the news, He Xiaoxiaoʼs group chat system has gone live, and all Time Travelers can verify and join. But due to limited equipment, instead of the originally planned 12 chat groups, only one is now available, so only the most unique Time Travelers from the Inner World are accepted.”

”Are you going to join?” Qing Chen asked.

”Of course, itʼs a great opportunity to connect with other Time Travelers, and thereʼs so much valuable information to exchange,” Yiyi said. ”But I definitely canʼt join now; revealing my identity too early could lead to too many risks.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, ”Actually, even if you wanted to join now, you couldnʼt get in.”

Nan Gengchen interjected, ”Someone posted on Weibo saying that there are already thirteen million people in line to verify...”

Qing Chen was not surprised.

With such a big event happening online, whether or not one is a Time Traveler, everyone would crowd in for the excitement.

Watching as the number of people in line continued to climb beyond thirteen million.

Qing Chen figured that He Xiaoxiao might have underestimated his compatriotsʼ enthusiasm for joining in the excitement.

Even if the number of people in line today exceeded a hundred million, he wouldnʼt be surprised.

Sure enough, by evening just as classes were about to end, the number in the system queue had reached 93 million and was still increasing.

Initially, some people were reluctant to join in this excitement, but as the news spread wider, many people joined the queue purely to help push the number up to a hundred million.

Just when the number in line was about to reach a hundred million, the system suddenly introduced a new page: an automatic screening audit system.

He Xiaoxiao announced on TikTok that this system would screen through 36 questions to weed out the Ordinary People who were just there for the excitement.

The numbers in line started to plummet dramatically.

But even more hilarious was when, less than half an hour later, someone posted the correct answers to the 36 questions on Weibo.

Once the answers were out, the number of people in line quickly began to rise again.

It was not for any other reason; people just wanted to see how He Xiaoxiao would handle it next...

Qing Chen lost interest and stood up, getting ready to skip class.

But before he could leave his seat, his arm was grabbed by Yiyi next to him: ”Youʼre not going.”

At this, Hu Xiaoniu, Nan Gengchen, and Zhang Tianzhenʼs ears perked up.

Qing Chen, feeling resigned, asked, ”Why not?”

Yiyi said seriously, ”You still have to take me home.”

The expressions of the three onlookers changed dramatically, none of them had expected this plot twist!

Qing Chen said, ”Then just come with me now.”

”No,” Yiyi shook her head, ”I donʼt like skipping classes.”
