Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 955: Birthday

"Qing Chen, as fellow Time Travelers, I've seriously studied you. As far as I know, the Guardians' Union isn't an organization that abuses violence, and neither are you," Marquis Winston sat in the white light, surveying the surrounding cold, gray metal walls: "Before this, I didn't even consider you a threat in the Outer World, but I was wrong."

Qing Chen was silent for a moment, then said: "Life requires choices. Everyone's personality is equal, of course, but the lives of the people I care about are indeed more important than yours."

Winston said, "I understand. I did become a Time Traveler a long time ago."

"Good. Being open and honest will save a lot of trouble," Qing Chen said.

Marquis Winston sat in the interrogation room, the pale light casting shadows on his face: "So, do I have no choice now? Must I cooperate with you against the Roosevelt Kingdom?"

"Yes." Qing Chen said: "But I don't think you need to be so dejected. Once we succeed, you'll be a hero."

Marquis Winston chuckled bitterly: "What makes you think you can win against the Roosevelt Kingdom? Frankly, even if you unite with the Giant Dynasty, it's nothing. They've left the Forbidden Forest; they won't be of much use in modern warfare. I need you to promise that you won't reveal my identity even if you fail." Qing Chen shook his head: "Right now, you'd better pray from the bottom of your heart that we win, because we're all in the same boat. If we fail, I'll hand all of you over." Marquis Winston: "...."

Qing Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, we'll definitely succeed."

"What do you plan to use me for?" Marquis Winston asked calmly. "My power isn't that great."

"After the next jump, we'll establish contact with the Inner World. At that time, you'll receive instructions." Qing Chen stood up. "Until the war is over, you can only stay in this war fortress." Winston watched Qing Chen's departing back: "Wait, I'm your person now. Can I have some more of those fruits and tea? And, do you have Cultivation inheritance? I heard that you Guardians' Union have hundreds of thousands of people in Cultivation, and the speed of Cultivation is very fast. By the way, I heard that receiving empowerment can prolong life." Qing Chen, with his back to Winston, slightly curled his lips. In the West Continent, it's not everyone who can Cultivate. There are only five Cultivation inheritances. Ordinary people are likely to only become Gene Soldiers with severe side effects. So, for example, a Time Traveler like Winston, even if he becomes a Marquis, is still just a member of the royal family.

But the problem is, once you're in that kind of world, who wouldn't want to become a "superman"? Qing Chen turned around with an ambiguous smile. "You know quite a lot."

Marquis Winston shrugged: "Your affairs aren't exactly a secret. I think this is also the reason why the Roosevelt royal family is eager to start a war! Although they don't say it openly, your Cultivation speed is still somewhat alarming to them. Of course, the person they are most wary of is you." Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: "The Cultivation inheritance won't be given to you, but for every mission you complete, we will arrange a group of people to give you a collective empowerment. Completing about 36 missions will allow you to directly become a B-Class and add 21 years to your lifespan. Compared to Gene Medicine, this is your best choice."

"36 missions? That's a bit much," Marquis Winston looked at Qing Chen. "When will the missions be issued?" Qing Chen walked out of the interrogation room and said, "Don't rush." Marquis Winston followed him out and said, "I'm kind of in a hurry."

Qing Chen stood in the corridor, looking down at the more than 3,000 potential Time Travelers through the window. The Australian tycoon, Mosley, finding himself not in mortal danger, had gathered a group of people to protest loudly, demanding that the Guardians' Union send them back.

Mosley stood in the war fortress and said impassionedly, "The Guardians' Union captured us, surely hoping that we will become their espionage tools, stealing intelligence for them in the Roosevelt Kingdom. The Inner World is at war; do you know how dangerous it is to be a spy? Don't become tools for others; don't be used!" The people around him raised their arms and shouted, "We don't want to be tools for others! We want freedom!" Qing Chen smiled and said, "Westerners are really good at giving speeches; they're very persuasive."

"Mosley once tried to run for governor and may have even thought of becoming prime minister," Winston explained. "But his political bribery case was exposed by his opponents, and he had to announce his withdrawal. There were people on the dark web who specialized in secretly investigating the Inner World identities of tycoons for a high price. Mosley should have known that his status in the Inner World was not high, so he didn't want to be a Time Traveler."

Qing Chen nodded: "He's just a baron's steward in the Inner World, even just a freeman, not even a citizen, but he has no choice."

"The reputation of the Guardians' Union is actually...in the West. Mosley is certain that you won't kill innocent people, so he's a bit unscrupulous now," Winston looked at Qing Chen. "Will you kill him?" Qing Chen smiled without answering.

He wouldn't kill Mosley, but not because he had any bottom line, but because he didn't want others to panic. Like Winston, he was observing the Guardians' Union's style to decide his future attitude. Making an example is easy, but getting these people to work hard is difficult. "Then what do you plan to do?" Winston asked.

"Don't rush; let the bullets fly for a while." Qing Chen said. The last time he said that, the Buddha Master in Gingko Garden suffered a lot. Can these people successfully infiltrate after becoming Time Travelers? The people they need to replace are all important figures in the Roosevelt Kingdom.

After becoming Time Travelers, these people need to immediately deal with political and military affairs. Qing Chen wants a highly usable intelligence network, not just to kill those military and political personnel in the Inner World. The last day of the return.

Inside the war fortress, more than 3,000 potential Time Travelers gathered at the entrance.

Mosley looked at Luo Wanya in front of him and pressed, "Are you going to arrange for us to become Time Travelers?"

"Of course not," Luo Wanya said with a smile: "It's like this, Whale Island will no longer provide free food and accommodation."

Mosley said loudly, "I can buy it; I'll pay for everyone here."

"But we don't use cash here, but points," Luo Wanya said with a smile: "I've prepared some courses for you; understanding your identity in the Inner World, learning how to infiltrate, and training professional skills. Once you learn them, you will receive points. You can buy food, empowerment, and special food with the points—yes, the kind you've eaten before, which directly increases strength without side effects." Everyone looked at each other.

The Guardians' Union did not, as Mosley had said, directly send them to become Time Travelers and then control them, losing their freedom. Instead, they made them attend classes.

Qing Chen didn't rush; he maintained the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique Breathing Technique in the war fortress, constantly trying to break through.

He had already experienced the benefits of Shenqie. In the face of absolute speed, even other Demi-Gods could only become insignificant, and when facing a Fate Weaver Demi-God, this is his greatest reliance.

However, A-Class Thunder System is too low, and the endurance is too poor. Qing Chen waited quietly in the dim room. Jumping...

What Qing Chen was not used to was that in the past, he would jump from night to night. But after arriving in North America, he jumped from night to day.

Because of the time difference, although they jumped at the same time, the East Continent Time Travelers jumped at midnight, while the West Continent was at noon. Qing Chen looked out of the window, where it was still a hot noon.

Black Widow went out to buy groceries. She bought a lot of beef shoulder today. Passing by a cake shop, she hesitated for a moment before buying a cake. When she passed that clothing store again, she went in again.

The salesperson remembered her. Seeing her standing in front of the white dress again, she smiled and said, "It really suits you very well." "Is that so?" Black Widow asked with interest. "Don't you think my current outfit is unattractive?" The salesperson smiled, "You have a good figure and you're beautiful; you look good in anything. But, the black leather jacket makes you seem too arrogant, making many people afraid to approach you." Black Widow smiled, "Wrap this dress up."

She knew she couldn't wear it yet. Even with her salary, it would take a long time to replace her bulletproof full-body nano-skin. But today is a special day. She suddenly wanted to buy this dress and hang it in her room to look at every day.

Black Widow walked back with the shopping bag, vegetable basket, and cake. As soon as she entered 78 Victor Avenue, she saw that Qing Chen had changed into a suit and even changed his appearance.

Qing Chen said to her, "Get ready, disguise yourself. We're going out on a mission." Black Widow was stunned, "Now?"

Qing Chen nodded. "Don't waste time; we need to arrive at Rose Street at the appointed time." Black Widow sighed inwardly.

Qing Chen looked down at the cake in her hand. "Birthday cake."

Black Widow smiled and put the cake on the table. "I told you my real name and birthday are today."

"It's okay; we can eat it when we get back. This mission is important. You'll need to play the role of someone's date and attend a private dinner party. Remember to observe him carefully." Qing Chen said.

Black Widow said, "Okay, I understand."

The two went out. They quietly passed through streets, standing in the shadows of the overpass on Rose Avenue waiting. Qing Chen instructed, "Remember, you're here to attend the dinner party tonight, nothing else. I'll call you if there's anything." Just as they arrived, a hovering vehicle drove up and stopped in front of them. Qing Chen opened the passenger door and sat in. "Black Widow, you sit in the back."

Black Widow opened the door and saw Marquis Winston sitting in the back, smiling at her. "Hello, please sit down." She responded calmly, "Hello."

Winston said, "First time meeting, let me introduce myself..."

"No need, Marquis Winston, current Minister of Food, his wife is a relative of the Roosevelt royal family, no children." Black Widow smoothly stated the information. Winston smiled, "It seems you know me well. It's my honor to have you as my date tonight. You're beautiful." "Hmm." Black Widow looked out the window.

The hovering vehicle traveled through the steel forest, arriving at the top floor of the Berkeley Building, the 101st-floor revolving restaurant, in 12 minutes. At the entrance of the restaurant, elegantly dressed nobles showed their invitations, and there were luxury cars in the parking lot. After the hovering vehicle landed in the parking lot, Qing Chen, like a servant, got out to open the door for Winston and Black Widow. As she got out of the car, Black Widow's expression was somewhat calm. Qing Chen looked at her and said, "Smile more naturally." Black Widow twitched the corner of her mouth. "Is this okay?" "More natural."

At this moment, Black Widow suddenly froze. She saw a hovering vehicle land in the parking lot next door, and the person who got off was Marquis Wendy, whom she would never forget even if she turned to ashes.

She suddenly looked up at Qing Chen, suddenly understanding what he was going to do today.
