Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 978: 614, Whale Island Adventure

Whale Island is a forbidden object that has been contained.

Zheng Yuandong indeed has contained it, or it could not have been brought from the Inner World to the Outer World.

The problem lies in that the forbidden object ACE-013 Whale Island, having already been contained, still has a living host, so how could the host suddenly change?!

Zheng Yuandong was meticulously considering how to keep it secret, and yet he lost his home.

His home was stolen!

At the time, while flipping through the Observer organization’s materials, what most captivated Zheng Yuandong among the sea of information were speculations regarding Whale Island.

Among these, there were intrigues regarding the Genji family.

Once, an Observer traveled east and lived for a while in Genji’s homeland, becoming friends with Genji.

Later, frequent volcanic eruptions on that side caused the entire continent to sink, accompanied by tsunamis for years.

Thus, Genji made a decision: to migrate to the Federal Continent.

However, when Genji’s people arrived at the Federal Continent, the Observer organization did not see Genji’s figure.

The people came, but Genji inexplicably disappeared.

The Observer organization began investigating the reason.

Later, as the Observer organization delved deeper, they noticed something fishy.

They discovered something strange: among the seven clans under Genji, the Kameden family had inexplicably changed their surname to ’Jindai’.

Years later, members of the Jindai family drunkenly cried, accidentally letting slip that they were traitors, failing the Family Head’s expectations.

Thus, the Observer organization speculated that Genji fell victim to the Jindai family’s treachery.

As signs of the Forbidden Sea slowly emerged, the Federation discovered the Giant Whale’s remains on the ocean floor, leading everyone to speculate that Whale Island was the forbidden object of the Giant Whale.

Yet the Observer organization couldn’t help pondering a question: if Whale Island was the forbidden object of the Giant Whale, then how did the Giant Whale appear?

Back then, the Inner World already had extremely terrifying creatures, such as the previous human civilization’s highly dangerous python vine.

This python vine mutated when accidentally watered with the blood of a Transcendent.

Over three months, it continually evolved, using humans as nourishment, and nearly devoured an entire city’s population.

The appearance of such terrifying flora and fauna was essentially related to human Transcendents, to be precise, it was all about devouring Transcendent flesh.

Therefore, the Observer organization believed the Giant Whale’s transformation was perhaps because it had swallowed... the Master of the Genji Family.

Thus, Zheng Yuandong made a new guess.

He first assassinated a Jindai’s direct-line officer who was on vacation.

Then, carrying the officer’s corpse, he boarded an airship hoping for luck in searching for Whale Island.

To Zheng Yuandong’s surprise, he succeeded: he found Whale Island and correctly guessed its containment conditions.

Whale Island’s containment condition was to avenge Genji.

But the problem is, since this forbidden object has already been contained by him, why was it suddenly contained by someone else?

Whale Island is one of the most magical forbidden objects.

After being contained, Whale Island can move according to the host’s will, and the weather changes based on the host’s wishes.

It can even ’grow’ the resources needed by humans.

For instance, the building materials of this Time Traveler’s Academy were produced by Zheng Yuandong relying on Whale Island.

The reason why alcohol, food, and accommodation on the island are free is that the resources here are inexhaustible, a true paradise.

Although items produced here cannot be taken off the island, as they will vanish once off, as a school location, it is the perfect choice.

Now, the home is lost...

Zheng Yuandong, along with Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou, braved the pouring rain to investigate outside, but they looked for a long while without knowing what happened.

”Boss, can you still control Whale Island?” Lu Yuan asked.

”No more,” Zheng Yuandong shook his head solemnly.

Ni Ergou suddenly said, ”Wait, why do I feel Whale Island is moving fast?”

Zheng Yuandong’s expression changed.

In the distance, the sound of ocean waves crashing against cliffs grew louder, and Whale Island seemed to be accelerating, yet unknown where it headed.

...

...

”Whoa, why is it so cold!” Chen Sui woke up and was instantly shocked by the window view.

Liu Ning from the Red leaves organization stood beside Chen Sui, muttering: ”No way, did I missee, am I blind?”

Qing Chen stood beside Liu Ning: ”Oh, this!”

Outside the window was no longer a majestic azure tide but a vast, white ice field.

In the distance, glaciers like high walls collapsed in blocks, making a rumbling sound.

Qing Chen and the others were awakened by the cold; when they were sleeping, the indoor temperature was controlled to a constant 24 degrees by central heating, now everyone heating still fell to negative 10 degrees...

The water in the mug on the wooden desk in the dorm, which was leftover from before sleep, had frozen into an ice lump.

Ice flowers had even formed around the windows.

Chen Sui stared at a group of penguins in the distance and said, ”If I’m not mistaken, we should be in Antarctica now...”

After saying that, Chen Sui became a bit frantic: ”How did we get to Antarctica? Huh?!”

At this moment, a group of penguins on the glacier stood dumbly, curiously observing the fragmented ice river.

They were too far away to see the island, so they could only see the bizarrely broken ice blocks...

Meanwhile, all the students on the island were freezing like grandkids.

For Transcendents like Qing Chen it wasn’t too bad, but ordinary people were trembling with cold.

This was the time to observe the strength of classmates around you.

The weaker someone is, the thicker they’d be dressed.

Chen Sui and Liu Ning had just finished dressing, turned around and saw Qing Chen and Tang Wei, wishing they could wrap themselves with the blanket, quilt, and bed sheet all at once.

Chen Sui sneered, ”My C-Class strength isn’t for nothing.”

”Amazing, amazing,” praised Qing Chen.

Just as they said this, the four of them saw that fellow Zard walking past the dormitory door wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

This guy usually doesn’t come out, but now he came out intentionally to show off.

The little sapling on his head was swaying back and forth.

Qing Chen suddenly realized that the little sapling was actually not a Python Vine.

It seemed that when returning, the Python Vine had been cut off by the rules, and Zard just randomly found a plant on the island and stuck it on his head as a limited skin.

To be fair, Zard’s recognizability in the academy was indeed high, there was even a unique column about him in the academy forum, nicknamed ”The nutcase with a tree growing on his head.”

Truth be told, earlier news in the Outer World mentioned that elementary school students in Haidian District would complete their graduation ceremony in the polar regions, and many students expressed envy: now that’s exciting life.

But in this unexpected situation, they suddenly got transported to Antarctica, afraid they might just drop dead!

”What’s going on, is the principal bringing us all to our deaths?” Tang Wei exclaimed in shock, ”Quick, quick, put on your winter clothes!”

Too unexpected.

Really too unexpected.

Such a good life of study, how did it turn into an adventure?!

Qing Chen asked, ”Why do you think we came to Antarctica?”

Chen Sui thought about it and confidently said, ”It must be the academy’s first test, Principal Zheng Yuandong wants to test our willpower, to see if we can withstand the extreme environment. Yes, it must be that, the more in such times, the more we need to show a strong will and unyielding spirit!”

”Makes sense, makes sense...” Qing Chen echoed.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yuandong looked solemnly out the window, ”Damn it...”

Even the usually calm and composed Zheng boss couldn’t help but curse.

He didn’t have to think to know, it was surely the one who had taken over Whale Island, still hadn’t learned how to control it, and accidentally brought the island here.

Twelve Kunlun members were busy from morning till noon, drawing wizard rune formations with the Eye of Truth on the dormitory walls, forming three rotating set of wheels that caused the wall to cave in, creating a fireplace fueled by infinite wood.

They had drawn as many as 108 fireplaces just to stabilize the indoor temperature.

Each Kunlun member holding the Eye of Truth was exhausted to the bone, showing signs of spiritual power depletion.

Although the temperature was barely maintained, this couldn’t go on, if Whale Island stayed at Antarctica, how would regular teaching order be sustained?!

Moreover, the fireplace runes could only last for seven days, constantly burning the spiritual will of Kunlun members every second.

Kunlun members couldn’t do nothing and just meditate to recover spiritual power on the island.

What a mess this was!

”We can’t just wait any longer, we need to find Whale Island’s holder,” Zheng Yuandong shook his head heavily, ”Lu Yuan, you quickly find Qing Chen, see if it’s related to him.”

”Huh? Boss, you think it’s related to Qing Chen?” Lu Yuan, dressed in a thick down jacket with a red nose from the cold said, ”We can’t just suspect Qing Chen whenever something happens, can we?”

Ni Ergou supported Zheng Yuandong’s view from one side, ”That kid tends to stir up trouble, let’s ask him first. I’ll also look for Zard, see if it’s related to him or Huan Yu.”

Lu Yuan took out his phone and called Qing Chen, after a while Qing Chen’s voice came from the bathroom, ”Why falsely accuse me... I don’t know what’s going on... It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it!”

Zheng Yuandong furrowed his brows tightly.

...

...

Jinguji Maki and Li Tongyun’s dormitory.

The two little girls were wrapped in thick blankets, leaning on the window, worriedly watching the outside.

Xiao Zhenji’s eyes were sparkling as she looked at the penguins, ”Kawaii ne!”

Li Tongyun softly and patiently said, ”Zhenji, it seems like you’ve caused trouble... Do you have a way to return Whale Island, to go north, everyone is freezing to death.”

But Jinguji Maki couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Li Tongyun took out her phone’s voice translator and said it again.

The translation software stumbled through the Japanese, Li Tongyun didn’t know if it translated correctly.

After gesturing for a while, Xiao Zhenji seemed to understand her meaning and seriously nodded.

Whale Island started moving again.

The massive island moved slowly, drifting northward.

The sound of rushing water and breaking ice was thunderous.

Whale Island was like a nuclear-powered icebreaker loaded with over a hundred nuclear reactors, setting sail again.

Students hid in their dormitories, watching the magnificent scene outside, suddenly feeling that despite some hardship, seeing sights they never had the chance to see, feels kind of nice.

In the past, everyone viewed the Inner World as tense and dangerous, while the Outer World was perceived as comfortable and safe.

Nowadays, the Outer World turned out to be even more dangerous than the Inner World...

But it’s quite interesting.

In the dormitory, Xiao Zhenji waved at the penguins outside.

Outside the dormitory, some students were already wrapped in blankets, ready to rush out and have a snowball fight.

Zheng Yuandong silently watched, while Ni Ergou remarked beside him, ”These young folks are so full of energy!”
