Night’s Nomenclature

The Roaming King. The owner of this ID seemed to know a lot of information.

Even Qing Chen, who was directly involved, had no idea about Qing Family’s Land Scouter floating ship or the forbidden item ACE-009.

Although he didn’t know what the item was, something taken out for the sole purpose of dealing with Li Shutong must be very terrifying.

But who exactly was this Roaming King?

In the Outer World, the one who currently had the strongest grasp on intelligence within the domestic landscape was He Xiaoxiao. But unlike him, who specialized in strategy, Roaming King was more akin to a war journalist.

When comparing the two, it was clear that Roaming King had the upper hand in terms of real-time performance.

The number of Roaming King's followers had surpassed 30 million in just two hours!

Qing Chen observed the news as he sat in class.

Due to the exposure of the illegal confinement case, most time travelers collectively silenced themselves to prevent others from discovering their identities.

But it looked like Roaming King had intentionally chosen this period of collective silence to speak out.

As a result, all at once, a lot of eyes were drawn in at the same time.

Someone who jumped out at a time like this shouldn’t be a fool. Qing Chen deduced that this person either had the backing of an organization – like Kun Lun – and thus wasn’t afraid of scattered forces, or had the ability to conceal his traces, like He Xiaoxiao.

Transmigrating was all about survival of the fittest. If it weren’t for the protection mechanism in the prison, people like Liu Dezhu who started prattling right after transmigrating were likely to have died a long time ago.

When transmigrators were tortured to death by Inner World organizations, only corpses riddled with scars remained when they returned.

Qing Chen had been waiting to see if anyone would reveal anything about Roaming King's true identity.

There was once a time traveler who tried putting on an act. In less than two hours, hackers had tracked down his IP address and revealed a slew of personal information. There was even an old kindergarten classmate who appeared and claimed to have been hit by the attention seeker…

This was the age of information. People would sooner or later find out if you don’t have a strong capability.

However, a whole afternoon had passed and Roaming King still remained a mystery.

This was enough of an answer.

“Looks like more and more time travelers are going to jump onto the stage,” surmised Qing Chen in his heart. “These time travelers are different from the loudmouths before. They have their own hidden abilities and the technology to take on the Outer World.”

When he went to the toilet during the first recess, Qing Chen stumbled upon the luxury watch Hu Xiaoniu had worn.

At this moment, it was on Liu Dezhu’s wrist.

Moreover, Hu Xiaoniu, Liu Dezhu, and Zhang Tianzhen were also happily chatting and laughing together, as if they had become fast friends.

Qing Chen frowned, went back into the toilet and closed the door. He had clearly specified not to accept watches, but Liu Dezhu didn't listen to his instructions.

He sent a message to Liu Dezhu inside the cubicle: Is there any progress in communication with the four transfer students from Hai City you mentioned before?

It wasn’t until the next recess that Liu Dezhu went to hide inside the toilet and replied his text: Don’t be in a rush, boss. These people may be rich, but they’re quite stingy, there’s no progress for the time being.

Qing Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Initially, he thought Liu Dezhu didn't understand his proposal, but now it turned out that this person planned to swindle the watch for himself.

This guy would first fleece some stuff from Hu Xiaoniu, handing it over only after taking his cut, and then obtain extra benefit like the genetic injection from Qing Chen.

In the end, Liu Dezhu would make a bunch of profit from both sides, while Qing Chen and Hu Xiaoniu in turn became his moneymaking tools.

Qing Chen felt that Liu Dezhu had suddenly put his intelligence to use.

If their classes hadn’t been next to each other, he might have fallen for his tricks.

Unfortunately for Liu Dezhu, there was no way he could have guessed that the third time traveler was someone in the very next classroom.

Luo City, after all, had more than six million permanent residents, no matter how small it was.

In fact, Liu Dezhu's exploit was still within the reasonable range. No cooperation could always remain smooth sailing.

Each person would have their own thoughts during the process – this was human nature, the real side of the world.

It was illogical to expect Liu Dezhu to serve as his shield wholeheartedly after handing him a carrot and a stick.

But Qing Chen knew Liu Dezhu wasn’t a tough nut to crack.

At this time, Liu Dezhu sent another message: Boss, the students in Hai City want to know how to quickly establish a foothold in City 18 and what kind of help we can provide for them. How about giving them something sweet for starters?

Qing Chen replied: Something like a wristwatch, huh?

Liu Dezhu, who was previously squatting in the toilet as he typed, suddenly snapped up his head.

Wristwatch – that crucial word alerted him to the fact that the other party had everything figured out.

Was it possible, that the third time traveler was someone in his school– or rather, in the very same class?

The corridor was bustling with students, and the sports ground was packed with people doing warm-up exercises.

But Liu Dezhu felt a chill down his spine, as if a pair of eyes was silently watching him from an unknown place through the crowd.

Liu Dezhu typed his reply, his hands trembling uncontrollably: Boss, I was wrong, you can punish me, don't worry, I'll return the watch soon, and I'll stop talking nonsense…

A few minutes later, Liu Dezhu came out of the toilet. Hu Xiaoniu, who was waiting for him outside, was a little puzzled. “Why did you take so long? How about we go to visit a bar tonight, I haven't been to a bar since I came to Luo City.”

Liu Dezhu took a deep breath and said, “I’m not going to the bar. I’d like to wish you a happy new year in advance. May all your wishes come true, may your whole family stay safe and healthy…”

Hu Xiaoniu, dumbfounded, stared blankly at Liu Dezhu: “…???”

Once he was done, Liu Dezhu put the watch into Hu Xiaoniu's hand and lowered his voice, “The cooperation shall continue, but we’ll only accept gold bars from now on.”

To tell the truth, Liu Dezhu was now regretting his words deep down to his bones.

He wasn’t sure if that person was nearby and caught him in the act, or if it was just a bluff.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

Otherwise, he didn't even dare to think about what he would face when he returned to prison one and a half day later…

…

After dealing with Liu Dezhu, Qing Chen suddenly received a new friend request on WeChat. Clicking inside, it turned out to be from Li Tongyun.

But from what he remembered, Li Tongyun didn't have a mobile phone.

Li Tongyun texted him the second Qing Chen accepted her friend request: Brother Qing Chen, Kun Lun sent my mom an alert message saying the nine suspected fugitives might have already entered Luo City. Two time travelers have already gone missing in the past 24 hours. You must be careful.

An ominous premonition abruptly rose in his heart.

According to the news, the methods used by those suspected fugitives were brutal and vicious. If those people came to Luo City, there might be a lot of time travelers who would suffer.

He replied to Li Tongyun: Can you still contact your mother now?

Li Tongyun replied: I'm with my mom now, she's not in danger. I just want to ask if we can stay at Brother Qing Chen's house tonight. My mom and I are fine with sleeping on the floor.
