Night’s Nomenclature

The world was bathed in light again.

Countdown: 168:00:00.

Above Whale Island, brilliant starlight and moonlight cascaded down, the vast starry river seemingly unchanged by anyone's presence.

One moment Qing Chen was on the battlefield, shattering the Chen Family army's formation with the structured and unstructured forces, and the next he was back in the Agricultural Academy's war fortress.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi felt as if they had shared a dream, a dream of a story they would never have encountered in their lives.

Tuanzi instinctively looked towards Qing Chen, but Sun Chuci pulled her arm, reminding her not to reveal anything.

At this moment, the dean had changed his appearance, taking on the guise of the dean, indicating that he did not want to fully expose himself within the Academy.

In fact, Sun Chuci's heart was also boiling.

At the final moment of their return, the dean awakened, and with unquestionable means, with a god-like aura, temporarily suppressed the Chen Family army.

A young man stood in the midst of the battlefield, his calm golden eyes devoid of tears, filled only with determination.

Rain-like bullets halted before him, as if the world had been paused.

In that world, it seemed only the young man remained.

These are Metahumans.

Structured.

Unstructured.

Two applications of electromagnetic fields, considered the limit of electromagnetic ability.

This is Qing Chen's strongest means against modern warfare today. From now on, unless heavy firepower weapons like grenade launchers appear, ordinary firearms will no longer be able to harm him.

Before returning, he clearly saw the fear and astonishment in the eyes of the Chen Family soldiers.

Never before had anyone manipulated the awakened ability of elemental lightning to this extent.

But Qing Chen didn't seem particularly happy.

At this time, Zard, Sun Chuci, Tuanzi, Shendai Kongyin, Nangong Yuanyu, Ma Jingjing, and Yi Bo stood in the war fortress, looking at each other.

Then many people were surprised.

Seven days ago, they were happily watching the dean exploit a bug. Seven days later, the dean had minor injuries, while Professor Zard's entire right arm seemed coated in a layer of porcelain glaze, and he looked quite weak.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi were even worse, completely disheveled, their faces covered in dirt, as if they had rolled in the mud.

What surprised Qing Chen was that Nangong Yuanyu also had injuries.

"What happened to you?" Shendai Kongyin was startled: "Is everyone alright?"

She went to pick Chicken Blood Bud leaves for everyone and crushed them to apply to their wounds.

Shendai Kongyin wanted to personally apply the medicine to Qing Chen's arm wound, where a bullet had grazed him.

But as she approached, she hesitated and stopped, whispering, "Dean, please apply it yourself."

This was something Qing Chen had instructed. In the entire Academy, only the Chicken Blood Bud could be freely picked; it was not considered a strategic resource.

Zard looked at Nangong Yuanyu, curiously asking, "Eh, how did you get hurt?"

Qing Chen looked at Zard speechlessly. You didn't ask anyone else, only Nangong Yuanyu, didn't that prove you know how everyone else got hurt?

Nangong Yuanyu replied, "Our Masonic Lodge was establishing settlements for some Wildlanders and Time Travelers in the wilderness, and we were attacked by a family in the wilderness. Fortunately, the Masonic Lodge is quite strong and has better weapons and equipment, so there were no major casualties."

Qing Chen pondered. Besides bandits, the people in the wilderness lived in family groups to protect their families and fight together.

This is the most primitive form of self-preservation.

And the Masonic Lodge, having been tempered in the wilderness, is far more resilient than other Time Travelers.

This is one of the gifts Shadow left him.

Qing Chen said nothing more.

Zard looked at Qing Chen: "Dean, are you alright?"

Qing Chen calmly shook his head: "I'm fine. Take out the Purple Orchid Star and Eternal Heaven Fruit, plant them. After planting, everyone go back to rest, don't delay the Academy's work tomorrow."

His calm tone and expression were as if he hadn't experienced the events of the past seven days.

Yes, Qing Chen had calmed down.

When he emerged from that dream, he had abandoned his sadness.

Having seen how the most brilliant man in the world faced life, he knew how to face his own future.

Qing Chen had seen a mountain, a mountain that was Chen Yu's future demon, but Qing Chen's beacon.

Therefore, self-satisfaction is useless.

Qing Chen also saw how that man calmly faced life and death.

So he also knew that sadness was useless.

Run, at a speed that despair cannot catch.

This is what his brother taught him.

Qing Chen wants revenge.

He needs strength.

The Agricultural Academy now had seven Purple Orchid Stars, dropping one ear of leaves each day. After three days, seven would become fourteen, and after another three days, fourteen would become twenty-eight.

This is the Chen Family's killer weapon and trump card in cultivation, all taken by Shadow and given to Qing Chen. From now on, the cultivation of all Daybreak members will progress by leaps and bounds.

Not only Daybreak, but also the core members of the Masonic Lodge and Guardians' Union will rapidly complete their transformation.

Qing Chen plans to stop when it multiplies to twenty-eight or fifty-six, not because the Purple Orchid Star's reproduction requirements are demanding, but because it's enough.

The Agricultural Academy also has ten Jingshan Tea plants. These Jingshan Tea plants will bloom in three days, and unlike the Purple Orchid Star, they can produce more than ten seeds at once.

In just three days, the yield of new Jingshan Tea buds will be enough to improve the eyesight of seven people simultaneously.

Soon there will be no shortage of tea here.

The Agricultural Academy also has one Eternal Heaven Fruit that Shadow snatched from Koshima. This fruit bears fruit every three days, three each time. In two rounds, it will show geometric growth.

In Qing Chen's view,

This is actually the most crucial thing at the moment, because just by eating nine fruits, even ordinary people can reach the entry-level physique of F-Class Metahumans.

Equivalent to an F-Class Gene Soldier.

It's worth noting that a basic dose of Inner World Gene Medicine costs hundreds of thousands, and the value of one Eternal Heaven Fruit in terms of money would be an astronomical figure.

This thing was quite useless in Koshima's hands. Although it could increase physique, the quantity was too small.

The entire family only had a few people reaching F-Class each year, which was simply not enough, so it was better to research and increase the production capacity of Gene Medicine.

But it's different in Qing Chen's hands.

The Whale Island arrived just in time.

Qing Chen rated all the plants in the Agricultural Academy.

Purple Orchid Star is S-class, a true strategic resource, capable of laying the foundation for high-end combat power for all forces under Daybreak's command.

Eternal Heaven Fruit and Jingshan Tea are A-class. These cannot create high-end combat power, but they can improve the basic qualities of the group.

Chicken Blood Bud is D-class, auxiliary materials.

Looking at the still empty Agricultural Academy, Qing Chen suddenly said, "Everyone, I entrust the planting to you. These things are very important to the Academy and to me."

Because he will use this foundation to lay the foundation for his revenge.

And this is also a gift from his family.

Hearing the dean's solemn words, everyone inexplicably felt a power wrapped in his words.

Heavy yet inspiring.

Nangong Yuanyu curiously asked, "Dean, what are those plants?"

Qing Chen replied, "It's not time for you to worry about these things yet, go to work."

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi decisively picked up shovels and went towards the farmland: "Dean, rest assured, from today on, they're more important than our lives."

They had already guessed what Qing Chen was going to do.

Having experienced everything with Shadow, they suddenly felt they had grown a lot.

In just thirty minutes, everyone completed all the planting tasks. Qing Chen let them rest and stayed behind to take care of the Jingshan Tea, which needed watering every hour.

As Nangong Yuanyu left, she looked at Qing Chen: "Dean, why don't you go back to rest, I'll water it. Don't worry, I definitely won't delay anything."

Qing Chen shook his head: "Go back, I want to be alone for a while."

The six Qing Family disciples left, looking back three times.

Outside the war fortress, Nangong Yuanyu looked at Sun Chuci: "Did you experience something with the dean in the Inner World?"

The Forbidden Zone 00 battle is still a secret to the entire Federation, known only to a few intelligence organizations, with two Demi-Gods already falling.

Therefore, Nangong Yuanyu and the others didn't know what had happened.

Sun Chuci shook his head, saying nothing, and returned to the dormitory with Tuanzi.

They had spent six days in the wilderness, escaping for six days, and even though Qing Chen had improved their strength, they were exhausted.

Fortunately, the biggest advantage of Time Travelers is that they have the opportunity to return to the Outer World.

On the way, Sun Chuci suddenly grabbed Tuanzi's hand.

Tuanzi looked at him in surprise. This senior had always been very reserved and shy, she didn't know what was going on today.

Sun Chuci looked at Tuanzi and said, "We need to work hard on our cultivation, and help as soon as possible. This time, I felt the fragility of life. Life shouldn't be so timid, it should be as free and easy as Shadow Master."

Tuanzi hummed in agreement.

Arriving at the dormitory door, they saw five of their former team members waiting there, they didn't know how long they had been waiting.

Sun Chuci hesitated: "Is there something wrong?"

One of them stepped forward: "Brother Chuci"

Sun Chuci took a step back.

The five companions looked at each other: "Brother Chuci, we were wrong before, we shouldn't have lied to you, I'm sorry. It's just that we really wanted points. You know, points are especially important in the Academy now. They can be exchanged for cultivation inheritances, and it is said that they can be exchanged for magical items that assist cultivation in the future. These things are too important to us! My cousin is from Kunlun, he said that there are several exchangeable items in the internal points system, but they haven't been made public yet. Among them are things that can improve eyesight, things that can increase the speed of cultivation, and even things that can directly promote one to F-Class after eating them. Those exchangeable things are so tempting! These require a huge amount of points to exchange!"

"Yeah, I understand, I understand, those things you mentioned are indeed very tempting, and I'm also a little tempted," Sun Chuci nodded with a smile: "Your choice is correct, it's nothing."

In fact, if it weren't for the previous deception, Sun Chuci would have understood everyone wholeheartedly and wouldn't have blamed them.

But after the deception, many things were different. They shared hardships in the wilderness, and whenever there was a lack of food, it was Sun Chuci who secretly went hungry and said he wasn't hungry.

He could accept everyone going their separate ways, but he couldn't accept being deceived.

However, by now his mentality had completely changed.

Like Qing Chen, he had seen another mountain, a mountain that grew into the clouds, making everyone who had seen it realize how ridiculous their petty struggles in life were.

So, Sun Chuci let it go.

He smiled at his former companions and said, "I really don't blame you anymore, really. Tuanzi and I are very tired, and we just want to take a shower and have a good sleep."

With that, he pulled Tuanzi into the dormitory.

Bang.

The dormitory door closed in front of the five, along with their past friendship.

After everyone left, Qing Chen looked at Zard: "How's your arm?"

Zard assessed the injury: "14-day limited skin."

Qing Chen:"..."

In other words, Zard will need 14 days to recover, and he won't be able to use earth-technique next time he travels.

But they still have to face nearly five thousand soldiers.

Including field tanks.

Even if Qing Chen is promoted to A-Class Awakened One, his abilities and mental power have limits. Forcibly eliminating a brigade of soldiers is the definition of a Demi-God in the Federation.

Before his mental power is exhausted, Qing Chen may be invincible, but the enemy is too numerous.

Qing Chen shook his head, he needs to find a solution within seven days.

At this time, he looked at Zard: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Zard hesitated: "I'm a little scared."

"Huh?" Qing Chen was puzzled: "What are you afraid of?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking urgently at the door outside. It was Huan Yu: "Zard, get out here, I know you're inside, you've got the guts to be a traitor, but you haven't got the guts to see me, huh!"

"Zard! Get out here! Don't force me to climb the wall to find you!"

"Zard!"

"Qing Chen, are you shameless, poaching from me!"

"Qing Chen!"

At this time, Zard shouted in the Agricultural Academy: "Boss, it's not like you think, listen to my explanation!"

Huan Yu: "You get out here and come back to the dormitory with me!"

Qing Chen:""

He really didn't expect that he would experience this in his lifetime.

He felt like he was caught cheating with Zard by Huan Yu, and it was so embarrassing.

To be honest, he should fight Huan Yu now, but if they both end up injured on Whale Island and die together in the Inner World after the fight, it would be too exciting.

There's still a brigade of Chen Family troops in the Inner World.

Zard walked towards the door and whispered: "Boss, I'm going back, I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Qing Chen was amused: "You're not afraid anymore?"

Zard said: "If I don't go back, he'll be sad, bye!"

Saying this, Zard pushed open the door and went out, Huan Yu's nagging voice gradually fading away.

Huan Yu: "You're really something now, you didn't even tell me you were going to such a dangerous place, huh?"

Huan Yu: "Do you still have me, your Boss, in your eyes?"

Huan Yu: "How's your arm?"

Zard: "It looks pretty good."

Huan Yu:""

Huan Yu was at least rational at this moment.

He and Qing Chen both knew that they couldn't have a conflict at this moment, because they both had to face the dangerous situation after seven days.

So the two of them chose to avoid each other through the gate of the Agricultural Academy, kings do not meet.

Everyone pretended that nothing had happened.

Qing Chen took a long breath, lay down on the recliner, and gazed at the starry sky above.

In the whole world, only he was left.

But he sighed again soon: "I can't even have some peace and quiet, come out and talk, both of you."

At the battlement of the war fortress, the sound of He Jinqiu's staff striking the ground came, Boss He said with a smile: "I knew he would definitely find both of us."

Qing Chen looked over, Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu were standing on the city wall looking at him.

He Jinqiu released his two Jade Heart Swords, one of which flew to the front, forming a staircase in front of him.

He stepped his right foot on it, and as he took his left foot, the other Jade Heart Sword formed the second section of the stairs.

So on and so forth, He Jinqiu seemed like a fairy descending from the sky, so dashing.

Qing Chen agreed. In terms of style, among the people he knew, few could compare to He Jinqiu.

This also shows that He Jinqiu's control over the Jade Heart Sword has reached a superb level.

He Jinqiu looked at the vegetable garden in the Agricultural Academy and praised, "The seven Purple Orchid Stars that the Chen Family collected from seven Forbidden Zones were actually packed and sent to you by Shadow Master. Chen Yu will probably vomit blood when he returns to City 7, just looking at his own vegetable garden. This is breaking the Chen Family's cultivation inheritance, their greatest advantage."

He Jinqiu: "And Jingshan Tea, Eternal Heaven Fruit. I can even imagine the future of domestic Time Travelers."

Qing Chen frowned: "I won't provide these plants for free. The plants in the Inner World Forbidden Zone are different from ordinary plants, they grow much slower."

"It's okay," He Jinqiu said with a smile: "I didn't plan to let you give them for free. By the way, I want to say that your first move after awakening to A-class on the battlefield was very dazzling."

Qing Chen was startled: "Boss He was also on the battlefield?"

He Jinqiu smiled: "Zheng Boss and I were mixed in that field army, and I almost got hurt by your unstructured ability. How about it, our Zheng He's voyage to help you out, are you moved?"

"Huh? Why would you two go there?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

He Jinqiu smiled: "You're a member of my Nine Provinces."

Zheng Yuandong was more honest than He Jinqiu: "When I saw Shadow looting the Chen Family's mansion, I guessed that Shadow was looking for plants for you to plant on Whale Island. You're very important to the entire domestic Time Traveler now, so you can't die. Of course, also because you're a member of my Kunlun."

Qing Chen understood.

This Agricultural Academy on Whale Island has become a coveted treasure in the eyes of the two big shots, and they both realize the strategic value of this Agricultural Academy!

He Jinqiu asked: "I helped you kill the enemy, and I'll open up the highest level membership of the Hu Family Intelligence Agency to you. At the same time, you'll provide my Nine Provinces with 5 ears of Purple Orchid Star leaves every week. How about that?"

Qing Chen understood that He Jinqiu wanted to emulate Chen Yu, using Purple Orchid Star to improve his cultivation speed and enter the Demi-God realm as soon as possible!

Everyone knows that the Federation's situation is already unstable, and the Hu family agency may be coveted without a Demi-God.

He Jinqiu doesn't have time to wait for his own slow breakthrough.

At this time, seeing that Qing Chen's face showed no change, He Jinqiu thought that Qing Chen was not interested, so he thought for a moment and said: "Then how about this, change 5 ears to 3 ears."

Qing Chen also suddenly realized something.

These two seem to not know how fast the plants in the Agricultural Academy can grow.

When Qing Chen said "much slower than ordinary plants", he meant that ordinary plants could bloom and bear fruit in 10 minutes under Shinguji Maki's acceleration, while Purple Orchid Star needs three days.

If you say it's slow, it's indeed dozens of times slower.

But He Jinqiu and Boss Zheng shouldn't understand it this way. They may think that Purple Orchid Star may take several months to bloom and bear fruit, otherwise He Jinqiu wouldn't have reduced five ears to three.
