Night’s Nomenclature

"Hey, do you know Liu Dezhu?"

This question only took a millisecond to pierce Nan Gengchen's heart.

With two beautiful girls coming to his class, Nan Gengchen was ready for a date.

Then… That was it.

It was as if Cupid was about to shoot him an arrow of love, but as he saw the arrow approaching him, it became an RPG.

It was all too sudden.

It took Nan Gengchen a long time before he said suddenly, "I don't know him well… But I can go meet him sometime."

Wang Yun smiled and didn't say anything else. She started putting her belongings on her desk.

The two girls didn't bring much to the school, just the required textbooks, and some common school supplies.

Qing Chen saw the branding on their shirts and didn't recognize any of them.

Although his knowledge base was broad, he naturally skipped all the luxuries since he never thought he needed to know about these.

How poor was he and Nan Gengchen?

It could be said that their friendship could prove their mortality.

It was the life that forced them together.

After one class period, Qing Chen could be certain that Wang Yun and Bai Waner were both time travelers, and they came to this school just so that they could meet Liu Dezhu.

In just 45 minutes, Wang Yun glanced at her arm 6 times, and Bai Waner also glanced at hers 5 times. It was the place that their countdowns were showing.

More obviously, Nan Gengchen looked at him 21 times.

After class, Wang Yun and Bai Waner went to the classroom next door. Along the way, two boys were already there waiting for them.

These two boys were also people that Qing Chen never met before. One was tall and was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, much like a rich child from typical movies.

The other boy looked quieter and was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses.

The four of them stood there in the hallway discussing something, attracting numerous glances from classmates walking past them.

The floor that Qing Chen was on had a total of six classrooms with 452 students.

But with these four people standing there, it was as if they were the focus of the entire floor.

The boy with golden glasses seemed to be the leader among them because he spent the most time talking as the other three listened.

Suddenly, Nan Gengchen walked back into the classroom in a hurry and said in a very low voice, "These four came here together. I heard from my friend in the other class that the two boys moved into the class next door."

"Okay," Qing Chen said, "What else have you heard?"

"That one wearing a pair of gold glasses is called Hu Xiaoniu, and someone said he drove the other three to school this morning," said Nan Gengchen, "The other boy's name is Zhang Tianzhen."

"He drove them here?" Qing Chen was a little surprised.

Poor students like them never even saw classmates that drove themselves to school. Shouldn't this be in a drama or TV show?

But, Qing Chen had a feeling that more and more people would come to seek Liu Dezhu, and even more would come just for the name Li Shutong.

For Liu Dezhu, this would only be the beginning of a whirlpool, attracting more and more time travelers to this place.

Throughout the whole day, Wang Yun and Bai Waner didn't speak much to other students. As soon as class ended, they went to the hallway and chatted with Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen.

They didn't even leave a bit of opportunity for other students to talk to them.

During the day, the two girls only talked to Nan Gengchen, asking about the teachers' names, the school's situations, and details about the unit they were on in class.

As for Qing Chen, they didn't even bother to talk to him even once.

Qing Chen could tell that these two girls were more students than he thought.

Bai Waner straight up took out a 2021 TOEFL problem set to practice, one that Qing Chen did already.

Wang Yun, on the other hand, was busy doing physics competition problems, not paying much attention to the classes. For some of the problems they were doing, Qing Chen had never seen them before, probably published by private schools or companies.

When going to the bathroom during the break, Qing Chen heard that these four people used English when chatting to each other.

They probably did this so that others wouldn't understand them.

Qing Chen couldn't stay next to them for too long, but he still heard some key phrases, like time travelers, transmigration, and how to get from City 7 to City 18.

When it was about time for afternoon self-studying, Qing Chen quietly said to Nan Gengchen, "I'll leave now, message me if anything happened at the school."

Wang Yun and Bai Waner looked at Qing Chen as he went out the door. One of them asked, "He just left?"

"Yeah," Nan Gengchen said as if it was nothing unusual.

"Isn't he supposed to be a good student? Why is he skipping class?" Bai Waner asked curiously.

"You can consider this as a good student's privilege. The teacher hadn't stopped him." Nan Gengchen said.

Just as he said so, he saw that Wang Yun and Bai Waner both packed their bags and left the classroom.

This left Nan Gengchen alone sitting in the last row.

Looking at the setting sun outside the classroom, he suddenly felt a bit lonely…

…

Qing Chen walked back home, planning to change into another set of clothes that he hadn't worn before… Then he would sell the gold he got from Lu Guangyi.

The breathing technique he learned required too much energy, so he must afford to buy enough food to eat.

However, he still wasn't sure if the gold in the Inner World would be any different from the gold in the Outer World.

Yesterday, he had used water to test the gold and found that the density of the gold was the same as the standards in the Outer World.

The method was simply just hanging the gold in the water to find its volume and divide that by its mass. A very simple experiment that he could do at home.

Under standard temperatures, gold's density should be 19.23 grams per cubic centimeters.

If the gold's density wasn't far from this, then it could be assumed that it was real gold.

After preparing everything, he brought a backpack and went out, but as he walked out, he saw Wang Yun, Bai Waner, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Tianzhen.

These new neighbors were surely them.

Wang Yun and Bai Waner stayed in the room on the second floor, across from Jiang Xue.

Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen were in the doom across from him.

They were indeed caming for Liu Dezhu, but they also wanted to meet Jiang Xue since they were already here.

This would be the only logical reason that they chose to stay in this old, crumbling apartment unit.

As Wang Yun saw Qing Chen, she smiled and said, "I never thought you were living here too."

Hu Xiaoniu, wearing the pair of golden glasses, asked, "This is…?"

"He is a classmate from my class," explained Wang Yun, "I heard from the teacher that he is one of the top students in the grade."

Hu Xiaoniu looked at Qing Chen and said, "Nice to meet you, my name is Hu Xiaoniu, hope we'll get along well."

"Nice to meet you too," Qing Chen nodded calmly, "I'm glad to be your neighbor from now on."

Soon, he walked out and disappeared under the cover of the night.
