Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 457: 310, Wise Man

The gift-giving created quite a commotion, leaving nearby neighbors watching in bewildered surprise, wondering which big personality had come to Los Angeles City.

The residents of the wealthy district were shrewd; although they were unaware of why so many outsiders had arrived with gifts, they knew that giving gifts themselves to become familiar faces was never a mistake.

Thus, in the National Treasure Garden Villa District, many well-known local leaders all made visits.

Even Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen, who had grown accustomed to receiving guests from childhood, felt overwhelmed.

And Qing Chen, watching the bustling scene, suddenly sensed something strange, as if Daytime had become famous overnight in the circle of the wealthy.

Could it be that one day he would be like Marlon Brando in “The Godfather,” sitting behind a massive wooden desk, wearing a suit and tie while shadows danced in his eyes?

And he would say to those rich folks seeking favors, “I know you; you’ve made your wealth abroad, so you don’t need a friend like me. You came to me for help now but you don’t respect me, you don’t even wish to call me the Godfather…”

The wealthy across from him, sincerely afraid, would bow down and kiss the tail ring on his pinky finger, earnestly calling out, “Godfather.”

Thinking too far ahead…

During these events, Qing Chen had always stayed behind the scenes; everything was handled by Zhang Tianzhen.

If a ‘Godfather’ was ever to emerge in this circle, it would be Zhang Tianzhen, not him, Qing Chen.

In the remaining days, Qing Chen supervised Liu Dezhu and others in their training, with Li Tongyun even clamoring to join the team practicing the Prajna technique.

Thus, a very dramatic scene occurred. Jiang Xue, unaware that Li Tongyun was also a Time Traveler, apologized profusely for her daughter disturbing everyone’s training, incessantly saying sorry to everyone.

Both Qing Chen and Nan Gchengchen found it extremely hard to restrain their amusement upon witnessing this scene.

Fortunately, the yard they were now in was quite large, so if Jiang Xue ever really started hitting XiaoTongyun, XiaoTongyun could still run around in the yard for a bit.

Qing Chen kept track of time, performing Empowerment every four hours, and none of them had a good sleep for several days.

Even while at school, they all sat up straight in their seats, maintaining their state of cultivation.

But no one complained, because they knew that Qing Chen was the most tired of all.

Not only did he need to empower them, but he also had to oversee Hu Xiaoniu’s training.

However, no one knew what the training involved; when Qing Chen coached Hu Xiaoniu, no one else was allowed into the basement.

So, as long as Qing Chen didn’t complain of fatigue, they had no right to.

In those days, Jiang Xue carefully prepared every meal and then waited for everyone to come and eat.

Meanwhile, the idle Hu Xiaoniu was secretly training in the basement gym, patiently waiting for his own opportunity to arrive.

It was during these days that Qing Chen took the opportunity to administer the second dose of Genetic Potion to Liu Dezhu.

When Liu Dezhu was in his prolonged period of pain, Nan Gchengchen, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Tianzhen laughed merrily by his side.

“Buddy, why do I feel like you’re about to give birth, huh? I guess giving birth might be just as painful for a woman,” Nan Gchengchen chuckled.

During the five hours of suffering from the Genetic Potion, Qing Chen even gave everyone a day off.

Liu Dezhu lay on his yoga mat, biting a towel and struggling.

Meanwhile, the other three sat beside, playing a card game of Fight the Landlord.

Liu Dezhu, despite the pain, was eventually laughed out of his misery by these three, and the five hours seemed less unbearable than before.

All this felt just like the way good friends interacted, where happiness was often built on the embarrassing incidents of one among them. After the laughter and teasing, instead of diminishing, their friendship only grew stronger.

Countdown 12:00:00.

Li Tongyun broke through the F-Class.

Countdown 3:00:00.

As Hu Xiaoniu fervently trained his core strength, suddenly he heard Nan Gchengchen shouting from upstairs, “I’ve made a breakthrough! I’ve completed the Small Circulation!”

In the living room on the first floor, Nan Gengchen had flipped back onto the yoga mat and executed an excited backflip, although he now had the strength but lacked the technique, nearly tumbling face first into the dirt.

Qing Chen calmly glanced at him, “Don’t speak, just stay aside, the others are also at a critical juncture.”

He had calculated the cultivation speed of these people, and although there were differences in talent among them, they were not significant.

Aside from the acceleration from Empowerment, the bright spots that a person could illuminate in a day were roughly one, and seven in seven days.

Qing Chen thought if it weren’t for the method of Empowerment, it would probably take 49 days for a person to advance to F-Class.

Compared to the injection of Genetic Potion, though it was stable and had no side effects, it was too slow.

Now, with the human cheat code, Qing Chen, Daytime had taken the fast lane in enhancing the organization’s strength.

It made rapid progress.

Countdown 1:00:00.

Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen also successively broke through, truly stepping into the ranks of Cultivators.

When everyone completed the first minor circulation and illuminated forty-nine bright spots, their bodies even excreted black impurities, and an unusual smell arose in the villa.

This was the impurities inside everyone’s body, being expelled from their bodies.

This scene was surprising, including Li Tongyun; the skin of these Daytime Cultivators seemed somehow purer, even whiter.

Qing Chen silently looked at Li Tongyun, this young lady started her cultivation a day later than the others, yet she was the first to break through.

You see, he didn’t provide any special care to XiaoTongyun when he performed Empowerment on Daytime members.

Thus, this young lady’s cultivation speed was noticeably faster than the others.

Could it be that she was a cultivation prodigy?

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Calmly, Qing Chen went to open it, only to find Luo Wanya outside, “What are you doing here?”

Previously, Zhang Tianzhen had said he would seek instructions from the boss, and on the next day, Daytime also gave Luo Wanya an official response: they had taken the job.

Outside the door, Luo Wanya said with an ingratiating smile, “Although Daytime has accepted the trade and told me to just wait peacefully in the Inner World, I thought it’s better to ‘walk right into the trap.’ Before I traverse time, I’ll just stay in this villa, and if I do anything wrong to you all in the Inner World, you can immediately twist my head off when you return.”

Qing Chen realized, this sly General Luo was worried that Daytime might hesitate to save him, so he proactively made himself a hostage in Daytime’s hands.

In that case, if Luo Wanya in the Inner World caused trouble, death was certain upon his return.

This show of loyalty was new to Qing Chen, but he was growing to appreciate General Luo more, if it weren’t for the unfortunate exposure of his identity as a Time Traveler by his Los Angeles accent.

He probably would have made big moves in the Inner World, wouldn’t he?

Now, Qing Chen heard Luo Wanya’s accent, which no longer had any trace of local dialect, but standard Mandarin instead.

Correcting a dialect isn’t easy; many people learn Mandarin, and end up speaking what’s called ‘plastic Mandarin.’

This General Luo, was indeed a man with intentions.

Qing Chen smiled, “Don’t worry, Daytime will find a way to rescue you. Before we rescue you, if you can manage to glean some information from the kidnappers, that would be best. We now suspect that the people who have detained you are linked to Jindai and Deer Island, we need their information.”

Luo Wanya’s eyes lit up, “Good, good, good, I will definitely try to extract some useful information. You don’t know, back in the day I also had a wild thought about smuggling into the Island Country to burn down a Shrine, but unfortunately, I got caught and deported right after sneaking in. If you say we’re dealing with those ‘ghosts’, I, Luo Wanya, wholeheartedly admire that. My entire fortune and life are in your hands!”

Qing Chen suspected Luo Wanya was rambling, but he had no evidence.

He felt that the other party was mostly trying to flee abroad to avoid the heat from some incident that had been exposed years ago, but it didn’t turn out…

The countdown reached zero.

Traverse.
