Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1018: 633, friend from afar, Ding Dong

Countdown 136:00:00.

“We agreed to meet here at the immigration office at 7 am, it’s been an hour, why aren’t they here yet,” Tuan Zi leaned against their pickup truck and complained softly.

Sun Chu Ci said beside him, “I just tried calling them but couldn’t get through, maybe they drank too much. Didn’t they ask us to join them at the bar for a celebration yesterday? We didn’t go.”

“I heard they were celebrating completing two academy tasks? They thoroughly investigated two certain clubs in City No.10,” Tuan Zi said, “Why would the academy investigate these clubs? It feels like they have nothing to do with the academy.”

“Who knows,” Sun Chu Ci said.

“Actually, we could take on these kinds of tasks too,” Tuan Zi’s eyes lit up, “Don’t you have a connection with Qing Yi from Intelligence Department One? You could ask him to help investigate a bit and we could earn some points too.”

Originally, they traveled north with Qing Chen on a film crew, and later, after reaching the wilderness town, spent some time with Qing Yi.

Qing Yi knew they were ‘friends’ of Mr. Qing Chen, and instantly became much more enthusiastic, even asking a lot about Qing Chen’s affairs in the Outer World.

So, if Sun Chu Ci and his team were to ask, Qing Yi would definitely help out.

Sun Chu Ci shook his head, “Mutual favors shouldn’t work like this. People don’t owe us anything. It’s important to have a sense of boundaries and not be annoying. We aren’t that familiar with the great Qing Chen, at most, we’ve simply received his kindness, so let’s not rely on borrowed authority.”

“You’re right,” Tuan Zi lowered his head.

At this moment, someone ran over from afar, five team members arrived panting, “Sorry for being late!”

Sun Chu Ci looked at their overindulgent appearance from the night before, and curiously asked, “What time were you guys playing until yesterday?”

“Four in the morning…” one team member said guiltily, “At that time, the students from the Extraordinary Institute were just too enthusiastic, and their drinking ability was amazing. We just couldn’t hold up. Oh, by the way, Brother Chu Ci, we might not be able to go to the wilderness anymore. That Snow Leopard off-road… it got a blown cylinder from flooring the gas pedal when those students drove it yesterday, it needs to be towed in for repairs. But don’t worry, they said they’ll cover the repair costs.”

Hearing them mention the students from the Extraordinary Institute repeatedly, Tuan Zi felt somewhat gloomy.

However, surprisingly, Sun Chu Ci didn’t blame them. He just comforted, “There is no need to worry about me blaming you, we are a team, and the vehicle belongs to all of us, not just me. Team assets also include your share. Here’s what we’ll do, we have two vehicles in total, Tuan Zi and I will take this one, and leave the Snow Leopard for you guys. You can go back and rest, Tuan Zi and I will head to the wilderness.”

At this moment, Sun Chu Ci already had the intention to part ways.

Actually, everyone was still very good friends, but since their directions were different, it was better to set off on their own paths sooner to avoid daily conflicts.

Those guys clearly didn’t want to make a living in the wilderness anymore and had to take care of their own emotions.

They were clearly hungover from last night and still had to come to the gathering this morning.

In fact, they were all tired.

One of the team members asked cautiously, “Brother Chu Ci, are you mad?”

Sun Chu Ci smiled helplessly, “Not at all, you hurry back to sleep.”

“Oh…” one team member tried persuading, “Brother Chu Ci, we can cultivate at the academy now, with food and clothing taken care of, as long as we do the tasks well, why take the risk in the wilderness?”

Sun Chu Ci thought for a moment and said, “I’m afraid of becoming too complacent for too long. Wasn’t the Time Traveler’s Academy built by Kunlun meant to teach us how to survive? And honestly, I kind of like the wilderness, haha, you guys head back, Tuan Zi and I will leave now.”

As he spoke, he turned and got into the car.

However, just at this moment, someone approached from afar, smiling and asking, “Can I catch a ride?”

Sun Chu Ci was stunned, looking up to see it was none other than Qing Chen, Yang Yang, Zhang Mengchan, Shadow, and Zard.

Qing Qu and Qing Ye were assigned by Shadow to do other tasks.

Everyone, including Tuan Zi and Sun Chu Ci, had seen Qing Chen’s true appearance before, and his appearance made everyone hold their breath.

How could he be here?

Wasn’t he supposed to be with Ma Jingjing in Taboo Land No.10?

And that Little Sapling that brought terrifying shadows to the entire academy… is also part of this team!

As for Shadow and Zhang Mengchan, they didn’t know them.

Most crucially, it was this Little Sapling.

After the establishment of the Agricultural College, Zard sneaked into the War Fortress every day from underground, afraid that Huan Yu would find out he became a special guest lecturer.

So, other students didn’t know.

The other five in the team didn’t know either.

But Sun Chu Ci and Tuan Zi, over the past few days, had almost gotten sick of looking at that Little Sapling on Zard’s head. When supervising, this guy was really tough. If you slacked off even a little, he’d bury you in the ground, and you wouldn’t be let out unless you were buried for 15 minutes.

Being underground for 3 minutes makes breathing difficult, as the solid earth constrains your chest from moving, making normal breathing impossible.

So now, whenever Tuan Zi saw Zard, he felt a bit of a psychological shadow.

But that wasn’t important.

The important thing was, Zard was now with Qing Chen.

So, without a doubt, Qing Chen was that Dean!
