Night’s Nomenclature

Qing Chen drew a blueprint of the new war fortress Shinguji Maki needed on a piece of paper.

He asked Xiao Tongyun to pick up the Purple Orchid Star leaves that had just fallen to the ground: "Keep this safe; hold it in your mouth when you're revising the Myriad Gods Thunder Technique."

"Brother, is Purple Orchid Star powerful?" Xiao Tongyun asked.

Qing Chen nodded: "Of course, it's powerful. In the Inner World, only the Conglomerate can collect this much Purple Orchid Star. In the entire Chen Family, only Chen Yu can seamlessly use Purple Orchid Star."

Therefore, the transaction between Qing Chen and He Jinqiu was essentially fair.

A chance to forge a Demi-God, something ordinary people rarely encounter in a lifetime.

Xiao Tongyun curiously asked: "Then why do you still feel guilty?"

"Because of deception," Qing Chen said, "Deception is always wrong."

Xiao Tongyun suddenly said from the side, "Brother, I feel like you treat He Jinqiu and Zheng Yuandong differently."

"I eavesdropped in the secret passage for a while," Li Tongyun said, "When He Jinqiu mentioned wanting Purple Orchid Star, your first reaction was to lie about the reduced output, hoping to maximize profits in this transaction, and the guilt only came later. But you're different with Zheng Yuandong. When he said he wanted to provide goods to the students, you immediately agreed. You should also know that providing resources for the entire student body will be massive, even taking up some of the resources you've prepared for the Guardians' Union and Masonic Lodge, but you still agreed, and didn't even haggle with Zheng Yuandong. Why?"

Qing Chen sighed: "Because I have different feelings about the two people. Kunlun has been frugal, and finally established the Time Traveler Academy, so when Xiao Zhenji took in Whale Island, I immediately agreed that the island would remain theirs for free and would cooperate with them in its development. But He Jinqiu is different. Do you remember the reverse time-travel plan between Shendai and Koshima? Nine Provinces finally found a replacement for Li Changqing."

"Yes, I know," Li Tongyun nodded, "I heard from Little Eagle in the Inner World that He Jinqiu couldn't determine who became the Time Traveler, so he killed all of them."

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded, "If Kunlun and I have always helped each other, then what Nine Provinces and I have done has always been a transaction. When I was captured and taken to A0 Base, Zheng Yuandong intervened because I am a national, someone he needs to protect. He Jinqiu participated in the rescue because Li Changqing finally agreed, on the condition of supporting him to obtain the position of executive director."

Qing Chen: "This time, he was among the Chen Family troops, participating in the rescue with Zheng Yuandong, not because of any friendship between us, but because I have the Purple Orchid Star he needs. Boss Zheng was honest and stated his intentions, but he evaded the issue by saying I was a member of Nine Provinces. At the last moment of the return, Zard appeared, Huan Yu appeared, Ding Dong and Gu Dong also arrived on the battlefield, but Boss Zheng and He Jinqiu didn't show up. At one point, I even thought he was deliberately waiting, waiting for an opportunity to bargain. Just like Li Changqing rescuing me before, he had to wait until Li Changqing agreed to support him before he decided to participate in the battle."

Qing Chen: "Actually, this is just speculation. I'm already very grateful that he came. So when I knew he was on the battlefield, I started feeling guilty. Even if it's a transaction, I'm still grateful, and I'm sincerely thankful. After all, this is something that requires taking risks."

Li Tongyun pondered.

Qing Chen looked at Xiao Tongyun and said: "Nine Provinces and Kunlun have different philosophies. Kunlun is about protection, while Nine Provinces is more aggressive. Zheng Yuandong also once said that what He Jinqiu seeks is not to protect the country, but to build a new kingdom for Time Travelers."

"So you're wary of He Jinqiu, but more generous to Zheng Yuandong," Li Tongyun nodded, "Then why did you give him Chicken Blood Bud later? I can see you felt a little embarrassed."

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: "Because he's at least a qualified businessman, not a robber. And although we've been doing transactions, they've always been positive transactions. He hasn't cheated me because of his dealings with others, so when I thought about this, I felt that I was too wary of him, and then I made another decision. After all, he wants to build a kingdom for Time Travelers wherever he wants, as long as it's not domestically, what does it matter to me?"

"What do we do now?" Xiao Tongyun curiously asked.

"Find a time to make amends. I will still prioritize the resources of Daybreak, Guardians' Union, and Masonic Lodge. I will still be friendlier to Kunlun, and I will still be wary of He Jinqiu, but I hope this will be a fair transaction," Qing Chen asked, "What do you think?"

At this moment, Qing Chen would absolutely no longer feel inner guilt without changing it.

But he also clearly knew what his goals were, who his companions were, and who he would eventually part ways with.

Qing Chen lay on the lounge chair, while Xiao Tongyun sat on the ground, leaning against the chair: "I think as long as everyone in Daybreak is fine, I don't care about others. Sister Yang Yang said you must be feeling bad now."

Qing Chen smiled and said: "It's alright, it's over."

"Do you want revenge?" Xiao Tongyun asked.

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded.

"Then I'll go back today and work hard on Cultivation, and not wander around the Academy," Xiao Tongyun lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

From the beginning of their time travel, the two precocious Time Travelers huddled together, discussing matters in the Inner World and planning for the future.

At one point, Li Tongyun felt like she had returned to the family building on Xingshu Road, everything hadn't changed.

At this time, a snore came from beside her.

Qing Chen turned his head, and Shinguji Maki, leaning against his master, was already asleep.

Countdown 160:00:00.

The first morning of the return.

Sun Chuci and others rested for a night, and their tired expressions had all disappeared.

After getting up, he didn't even eat breakfast, and took Tuanzi to the Agricultural Academy.

On the way, they heard someone discussing the Academy's launch of new products. This seemed to have already spread throughout the Academy.

All the students were planning to rush to earn points in case they didn't have enough to buy the new products when they came out.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi were envious. To be honest, apart from Qing Chen, the students outside the Agricultural Academy were more like enjoying university life.

Free, enthusiastic, full of vitality.

The Agricultural Academy was all about farming, without any rich and colorful extracurricular activities.

But Sun Chuci couldn't think about this anymore.

They were both taking care of the Jingshan Tea, but they were too tired last night, and even the boss personally watered it every hour, making them feel a little guilty.

However, when they saw the Agricultural Academy, they were stunned. The war fortress had a castle added overnight, completely sealing off the entire Agricultural Academy.

And iris verification access control had been installed at the entrance.

They tentatively knocked on the door, and the small door quickly opened, and a hand pulled them both in.

With a bang, the small door quickly closed again.

Inside the war castle, everyone else was already there, busy picking new buds of Jingshan Tea.

It has to be said that this was the highest yielding crop in the Agricultural Academy.

They looked at Qing Chen in a daze: "Dean, what happened? Did people from the Inner World attack?"

"No," Qing Chen said, "Come, let's scan your irises."

Qing Chen turned to walk towards the vegetable garden. Sunlight lamps were embedded in the ceiling of the fortress, and today's vegetable garden had changed from its previous simplicity, and even an intelligent irrigation system had been installed.

There were also two stoves, each with a large iron pot.

"What are we doing, Dean?" Sun Chuci curiously asked.

"Stir-frying tea," Qing Chen said, "Bring the new buds they picked over, and then fry the tea. You two will be in charge of frying tea from now on. Remember one key point: the tea aroma will be released nine times during the frying process, not one less, otherwise drinking it will make you vomit and have diarrhea. Also, this tea needs to be boiled in boiling water for 15 minutes, otherwise it is also poisonous."

This was something Shadow had specifically instructed. The Jingshan Tea was even more delicate than Purple Orchid Star. This plant seemed to have evolved into a highly poisonous substance to protect itself.

It must be operated according to the process, otherwise it could cause death.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi looked at each other, picked up a bamboo basket of new buds that Nangong Yuanyu had brought, and then poured them into the two pots separately and started to stir-fry continuously.

Qing Chen glanced at the two of them: "Don't burn the tea, if you burn it, you'll drink it, understand?"

The six people in the Agricultural Academy looked at each other. The dean had transformed into a landlord again.

No one knew what the dean wanted to do, but why did the Agricultural Academy suddenly start frying tea?

Although the six Qing Family disciples planted plants every day, they didn't know what those plants were used for.

Even Ma Jingjing, who had been to Forbidden Zone 10, didn't know what Purple Orchid Star was used for. He had asked Qing Chen in the Forbidden Zone, but Qing Chen hadn't told him.

The plants in the Forbidden Zone were strategic materials in the hands of the Conglomerate, and ordinary people hadn't even heard of them, just like Forbidden Artifacts.

Qing Chen could access the specific information about Forbidden Artifacts because he started at a very high level and directly encountered Li Shutong.

But others were not so lucky.

However, although the Qing Family disciples didn't know what these plants were for, they knew they were important and had to be carefully protected, and they would definitely be very useful in the future.

Someone asked: "Dean, where is Teacher Zard?"

Qing Chen said: "Well, he has something to do, he might take a two-day leave."

After all, Huan Yu would probably be watching Zard to prevent him from running around.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the Academy, and Zard's loud voice called: "Dean, open the door!"

Qing Chen walked over to open the door in confusion, muttering: "He really came?"

As soon as the door opened, Zard bowed his head and pulled someone in.

When Qing Chen saw the pale young man in the Academy, he was stunned.

Zard laughed happily: "Dean, this is Huan Yu, I brought him to the Academy to help today."

Qing Chen was completely dumbfounded, the thunder in his body kept rolling, and he could attack at any time.

Last night, Huan Yu knocked on the door and called Zard away. Qing Chen thought that there would be no more special tutors in the Agricultural Academy.

As a result, with a sudden move, Zard actually brought Huan Yu to the Agricultural Academy to help?

As expected of you!

But aren't you afraid that we'll fight here on Whale Island?

If two A-Class masters fought a fierce battle on Whale Island, the whole island would probably be in ruins.

But Zard laughed happily: "Dean, just let him stay here, let him do whatever. Xiaoyu, call the dean."

Huan Yu obediently said: "Hello, Dean!"

Qing Chen: "???"

What the hell!

Was Huan Yu drunk by Zard?!

Qing Chen knew Zard had some kind of strange illness, but he didn't expect him to do this.

The next moment, Zard smiled at Huan Yu: "Go play."

At this moment, Huan Yu happily went to pick up a bamboo basket, and then imitated Nangong Yuanyu and the others to pick new buds of Jingshan Tea.

For some reason, Qing Chen felt that Huan Yu was genuinely happy!

"What's going on?" He sensed something was wrong, and the alert state on his body gradually relaxed: "Zard, is he Huan Yu?"

"Yes, he's Huan Yu, Boss, I brought him to you, but he can only help occasionally," Zard explained.

Qing Chen asked: "His current actions are completely different from the Huan Yu I know, why?"

Zard was silent for a moment: "This is his younger brother. We used to live in the same ward when we were young. Back then, he witnessed his parents being murdered by criminals, so his mind was traumatized and forever remained at the age of 6."

Qing Chen fell silent. He didn't expect this younger brother Xiaoyu to have such an experience.

No wonder when the other party spoke, his tone and demeanor seemed particularly naive and innocent.

He pondered, was this Huan Yu's twin? Did Huan Yu's twins both come to the Agricultural Academy?

No, no!

He kept comparing in his memory.

The voice was exactly the same as last night!

Multiple personality disorder?!

He suddenly looked at Huan Yu's busy figure. It might be more appropriate to explain his current situation with multiple personality disorder.

Zard said: "His older and younger brothers are both in the same body. Actually, he didn't used to be like this. After time travel, a soul suddenly appeared in his body."

Qing Chen was stunned for a while.

Zard suddenly said: "I envy him. I also want a younger brother. I asked my doctor before if I could have a younger brother, and he told me to tell my parents, saying it was useless to tell him. But my parents are gone, where can I tell them?"

Qing Chen: ""

This is really a heavy story. It turns out that Huan Yu and Zard were both orphans.

However, his heavy mood was suddenly disrupted. The two were not childhood friends and neighbors who grew up together, but patients in the same psychiatric hospital.

Qing Chen looked at Huan Yu's back, but saw that he was following Nangong Yuanyu to learn how to pick new buds, and after learning, he proactively helped Ma Jingjing dig tree pits.

Extremely happy.

He recalled that Huan Yu had said, "My brother is coming back." It seems that the two share one body and get along well.

While frying tea, Huan Yu watched by the two large pots.

It's just that Sun Chuci and Tuanzi were frying for the first time, and due to their inexperience, they couldn't control the heat, resulting in frequent mistakes.

The tea aroma was fried out nine times, and it was safe to drink, but the tea leaves were fried to a scorched yellow color, and their appearance was extremely poor.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi, like children who had done something wrong, stood obediently beside them, waiting for Qing Chen to scold them.

Qing Chen glanced at them and sighed: "It's burned, so be it. Put the tea leaves into jars. There's enough for each of you to have a jar. Take them home and drink them every day!"

This tone, when heard by Sun Chuci and Tuanzi, seemed to mean: Drink the tea leaves you burned yourself, and learn your lesson.

So they lowered their heads even more ashamed.

At this time, Huan Yu curiously asked: "Brother Dean, can I try frying tea?"

Qing Chen looked at him.

Who would have thought that Huan Yu, the king of Xian City, would one day come to fry tea for him?

He thought for a moment and explained: "Xiaoyu, just pick new buds, this isn't fun."

Zard interceded beside him: "Dean, let him try."

Qing Chen thought about Huan Yu's life experience and sighed: "Then go ahead. Don't give him too many tea leaves, just try it."

He returned to the lounge chair and closed his eyes to rest, accumulating his thunder.

But after a while, he heard cheers from nearby.

Qing Chen opened his eyes to see that Huan Yu was actually grabbing two huge frying pans with his bare hands, and then continuously flipping them on two stoves.

"Puff!" Qing Chen was shocked.

The strength of Huan Yu's bare hands was almost at the peak of A-Class. The two hundred-pound pots were flipped in his hands as easily as playing.

This was a strength that other Qing Family disciples did not possess.

Nangong Yuanyu and the others didn't expect that the person who had just kindly called them brothers and sisters was actually a giant.

Everyone was relieved that they hadn't been impatient. Looking at this strength, they could probably slap their brains out!

Moreover, Qing Chen found that Huan Yu had an excellent grasp of the heat, and during the flipping, all the tea leaves were heated evenly and just right.

How can this be explained?

In Qing Chen's imagination, his first meeting with Huan Yu should have been a bloody fight, and then the world would be plunged into bloodshed.

As a result, the first meeting was completely different from what he imagined. There was no bloodshed, and Huan Yu had directly become the first tea fryer of his Agricultural Academy.

Yesterday, the two of them were still avoiding each other, afraid of conflict.

As a result, they were arranged together by Zard today.

Qing Chen didn't expect this outcome.

The other Huan Yu probably didn't expect it either.

When school was let out in the evening, Qing Chen looked kindly at Huan Yu and said with a smile: "Come again next time."

Huan Yu followed behind Zard and excitedly nodded: "Yes, definitely! It's so much fun here, the brothers and sisters are all very nice! The dean is also very good!"

After speaking, he walked towards the dormitory with Zard.

Zard also quietly instructed: "Don't mention this to your brother in your letter, just don't mention anything about the Agricultural Academy."

"Huh? I can't mention it?" Little Huan Yu was a little disappointed. He had a lot of fun today and originally wanted to share it with his brother, but he was very obedient: "Okay, I won't mention it."

Zard grinned: "Come on, let's go to the Academy supermarket. I'll buy you ice cream with my points!"

This special tutor should have given the students' points to him.

At this time, students on the side saw Huan Yu and immediately excitedly said: "Master, we've been looking for you all day, why didn't you go to the Academy today? There's a basketball game tonight, are you going?"

Huan Yu smiled: "No, Brother Zard is taking me to eat ice cream."

Students: "..."
