Night’s Nomenclature

"Do you know what you're saying?" Qin Sheng asked solemnly, "The number of Knight Order members, even at its peak, was only a little over 1."

Another person said, "We understand and appreciate your desire to make us happy, but as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so please don't lie to us."

It's no wonder these old fellows didn't believe it, as what Qing Chen said was too unbelievable.

Qing Chen first had Ding Dong take Yang Yang, Zard, and the others to eat fruit, while he himself sat in front of Qin Sheng's grave.

To outsiders, only gusts of warm wind swept through this Forbidden Zone, while Qing Chen seemed to be talking to himself, saying, "I understand that you all don't believe me, and what I'm doing is using the Koshima family's Eternal Heaven Fruit as cultivation aid, and then using rewards to attract Time Travelers to participate in gradual training. I didn't start by looking for people with innate talent, nor do I exclude students with dull aptitudes, but rather I repeatedly temper their character, making them resilient enough to climb Qingshan Cliff."

Qing Chen said, "Among these people, there are those like Chen Zhuoqu who are destined to be winners, and there are also those like Hu Jingyi who are dull but as tough as a rock. These people are all buried treasures, and now, I have unearthed them."

After he spoke about what he"d been doing at the Time Traveler Academy, Forbidden Zone 00 fell silent again.

After a long while, Qin Sheng said, "There's one thing you said that's right, that's probably my master's mistake. He always said to look for children with innate talent, but a Knight doesn't necessarily need talent. What we need is an iron will."

For ordinary people, even after eating nine Eternal Heaven Fruit, Qingshan Cliff is still a difficult chasm to cross.

No matter how you look at it, talent is not the most important thing for a Knight.

What Qing Chen is doing now is just screening out the 50 to 60 most hardworking and persevering students from over 60,000 students.

No, in fact, Qing Chen's ambition is even greater at this time, but he doesn't want to speak so definitively, in case the old fellows raise their hopes and then get disappointed again.

Therefore, Qing Chen is still being reserved in his words.

According to the results of his secret observation, the results will probably be very astonishing, something that even Qing Chen himself had not expected.

Gradually, the old fellows also realized the significance of what Qing Chen was doing.

It's a plan with at least 50 to 60 Knights as the foundation, recasting a new era for the Knight Order.

To be honest, their imagination is a bit lacking. They can't imagine which organization would be qualified to be the Knight's opponent if there were 50 to 60 A-Class Knights, plus the possible appearance of two or three Demi-God level Knights.

This kind of power would be a clean sweep against anyone!

Moreover, it's not just the Knights. With the unlimited Purple Orchid Star from the Agricultural Academy, it doesn't seem difficult to create another one or two hundred A and B-Class Knight Messengers.

The treasures that the Chen Family used to keep at the bottom of the box are now being produced in unlimited quantities by Whale Island.

It's like cheating!

It's unreasonable!

However, this growth requires process and time. Even with the help of huge financial resources, it would take a long time for a Knight to complete the Eight Trials of Life and Death, after all, training skills must be solid, otherwise, you'll be in mid-air during wingsuit flying and find you don't know how to handle emergencies, and you'll die on the spot.

The same is true for skiing.

At this time, Qin Sheng said to Gu Dong, "Next, I'll trouble you, Gu Dong, to help Qing Chen find all kinds of rare plants. Whatever you control in the six Forbidden Zones, as long as it's helpful to humans, find it and let him transplant it to that Whale Island in the Outer World."

This is the attitude that Qin Sheng is expressing.

Another old fellow said, "I remember there's a kind of fruit in Forbidden Zone 00, that can comprehensively improve reaction nerves after eating a few, what's it called?"

"How would I remember? I'm lying underground, I don't need to eat that stuff. You'll have to ask Ding Dong and Gu Dong."

Gu Dong said from the side, "It's the fruit of early summer, you have to eat 9 of them."

Another old fellow said, "Do we have any other fruits here?"

Gu Dong added, "There's also a plant called "Asking the Cold," soaking the leaves in water and drinking it 9 times can resist the cold."

"Quick, quick, bring them all to Qing Chen!"

Forbidden Zone 00, and the pioneers of the Knight, are going to fully support Qing Chen.

This is the hope of the Knight Order.

However, one old fellow poured cold water on Qing Chen, "But, you're using rewards to lure them, isn't this violating the Knight's original intention?"

As a result, another voice said, "What do you know about the original intention? Back then, didn't I use a sports car to trick you out? And now you're talking to me about the original intention? You were so lazy back then, in order to get you to challenge the Trials of Life and Death, I had to promise to give you a new car for every trial you completed. You're talking to me about the original intention now, doesn't your conscience hurt? Wasn't it only after you challenged the Trials of Life and Death four times that you turned over a new leaf?"

The previous Elder muttered in a low voice, "Master, please save me some face."

Qin Sheng said, "The Knight's original intention is truthfulness and sincerity, truthfully facing oneself, and maintaining sincerity towards the world. So-called truthfulness means not being pretentious, not being coy, not being hypocritical, not being artificial, and not being kidnapped by worldly standards. So-called sincerity means that a sincere heart can illuminate the sun and moon, being earnest, frank, and passionate."

Qing Chen seemed thoughtful. In fact, those evaluations of the Knight by the world are not the Knight's own evaluations.

The Knights' beliefs gradually converge on the road of the Trials of Life and Death, but their personalities are all kinds of strange.

In fact, the only thing consistent in the Knights' personalities is truthfulness and sincerity.

Sometimes everyone will take detours, but the Trials of Life and Death, again and again, are like pruning and correcting during the growth of seedlings. They correct themselves again and again, and find and rediscover their original intention again and again.

Qing Chen has also taken detours, and may take detours in the future, but the significance of the Trials of Life and Death lies in allowing him to constantly reflect on the meaning of life, and ultimately become a qualified Knight.

Now, Qing Chen himself is using this standard to view those challengers in the Academy.

What he likes most about Chen Zhuoqu's personality is that after completing the reward, she directly asks Little Seven for the reward, not delaying for even a minute.

Doing what she thinks, with clear and direct intentions.

No matter how the outside world sees her, that is the true Chen Zhuoqu.

Only such a simple and pure Chen Zhuoqu can go further on this path.

If she clearly wants double the reward, but she doesn't dare to say it herself, such a person will definitely not pass the Trial of Heart.

Because she is deceiving even herself.

And Chen Zhuoqu's sincerity is reflected in the fact that although she really wants to win, she is still willing to help her classmates, and has never harmed anyone in order to win anything for herself.

And Hu Jingyi has experienced so many failures in his life, but he still loves this world and loves his life. If even this doesn't count as sincerity, what else does?

Those students who previously ostracized Hu Jingyi seemed very real, after all, they were also asking Hu Jingyi to give up in order to complete the challenge smoothly.

Is there anything wrong with pursuing one's own interests?

But this kind of truthfulness is different from Chen Zhuoqu's truthfulness. Chen Zhuoqu didn't harm anyone, but instead helped others, while they were harming Hu Jingyi and others.

According to the rules, Hu Jingyi and others have equal rights to challenge them, but because they completed the first stage, they developed a sense of superiority and condescending attitude towards Hu Jingyi and others.

Therefore, their truthfulness is gloomy and selfish, and not sincere.

At least, Qing Chen is unwilling to imagine the scene of him fighting alongside such a group of people.

This team that will continue to travel together must be pure.

Qin Sheng sighed, "When that kid Li Shutong told us earlier that you would lead the Knight Order into a new era, I was just holding a nonchalant attitude. Now it seems that I underestimated you back then."

However, Qin Sheng and the others had finished asking their questions, but Qing Chen hadn't finished asking his.

He sat in front of Qin Sheng's tombstone and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, when a new Knight comes to visit you Former Elder, there should be a Forbidden Artifact as a gift, right?"

Forbidden Zone 00 was suddenly silent again.

He didn't know why, but after Qing Chen came here, everyone was silent more often.

Qing Chen counted on his fingers, "My master Li Shutong prepared gifts for Shinguji Maki and Li Ke, that was the Forbidden Artifact ACE he used to kill the Witness, and exchanged for Forbidden Artifact ACE060 The Loveless Telescope from the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal, and Forbidden Artifact ACE119 Tissue Box, he still owes Hu Xiaoniu one, saying he"ll give it to her in a while. What about you, what are you going to give?"

Back then, during the Century War, Li Bingxi used killing the Witness to escape.

After that thing was collected by Si Yue, Li Shutong forced him to exchange two Forbidden Artifact out of it.

Forbidden Artifact ACE060 The Loveless Telescope: A telescope with adjustable 4x zoom, which is not very rare, but you can use it to see a woman's makeup clearly, and even see through the bare face before the beauty filter in a mobile phone photo.

The containment conditions are very simple, the host must be male.

Li Ke, as a Knight and a core member of the Li Clan, and a teenager whose hormones are being secreted, naturally needs this thing very much.

Forbidden Artifact ACE119 Tissue Box: There are endless tissues inside, and occasionally a tissue with a prophecy written on it will be drawn, which will accurately predict something that will happen to you within 1 hour, but unfortunately, it appears very rarely. Some people have drawn for a year and have not seen any predictions.

Qing Chen plans to keep this thing for Shinguji Maki, the little girl likes to cry, and Li Tongyun will cry when he"s beaten by Jiang Xue, so it's just right to leave it for them to wipe their tears and blow their noses, what if they draw some prophecy one day?

It doesn't matter if they don't draw it, it saves the money for buying tissues.

However, Qing Chen was going to City 18 to kill Shendai Yunhe, so he didn't bring these two Forbidden Artifact with him, but rather asked Qing Ling, the Qing Family intelligence officer who escaped from Base A0, to take them to the Qing Family, and then return them to himself later.

Although these two Forbidden Artifact do not have the ability to help in combat, they are real Forbidden Artifact.

Qing Chen even suspects that Li Shutong is in the north right now, just rushing to find a Forbidden Artifact for him.

At this time, an old fellow said weakly, "Those challengers of yours haven't become Knights yet, when they become Knights, they will naturally have them."

This is the first time the old fellows in Forbidden Zone 00 have been so guilty.

Just thinking about it, the Knights cultivated by Qing Chen will have at least fifty or sixty in the future, this number is too scary, even if the Forbidden Zone is emptied, they can't find so many Forbidden Artifact.

Unless they call Li Shutong back, and then let Ding Dong, Gu Dong, Knight Messengers, Vermillion Bird, and Qingshan Falcon rob the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal together.

Otherwise, where will they find so many Forbidden Artifact to go?

The old fellows are a little flustered!

Qing Chen confirmed, "So, as long as they become Knights, there will be Forbidden Artifact as a welcome gift, right?"

"Ah, this!"

"That person can't represent all of us!"

"You don't need one for each person"

Qing Chen raised his eyebrows, "If a Knight doesn't even have a Forbidden Artifact, if this spreads out, others will think our Knight Order is very poor. There must be Forbidden Artifact, one for each person!"

Qin Sheng sighed, "Just focus on cultivating them, I will try my best to help you find Forbidden Artifact. Forbidden Zone 00 doesn't have that many Forbidden Artifact to give you right now."

Qing Chen asked curiously, "Over the centuries, so many explorers have died in Forbidden Zone 00, you must have a lot of hidden goods, where are they hidden, let me find them."

"Don't mess around, when it's time to give it to you, we will naturally give it to you!" An old fellow said.

Qin Sheng said, "How about this, right now there are only two people who have truly passed the Trial of Heart, one is Li Ke, and one is Shinguji Maki, their Forbidden Artifact are already there. I'll give you one more now, and you can give it to Hu Xiaoniu. We'll think of a way for the rest."

The old fellows suddenly felt a little suffocated.

They have dominated Forbidden Zone 00 for hundreds of years, and they actually have a day when they are short of money, they can't stand this grievance!

"Gu Dong, various Forbidden Zone have killed countless people, there must be explorers who brought Forbidden Artifact in, you quickly organize your subjects for a carpet search, and find all the strange human relics for us, we'll pick out the Forbidden Artifact from them."

Gu Dong scratched his head, "There aren't that many Forbidden Artifact in the Forbidden Zone, right."

"Then you can just take down a few more Forbidden Zone!"

Forbidden Zone are ominous places in the eyes of ordinary people.

According to a rough estimate by the Hu Family Intelligence Agency, since the New Human Era millennium, there have been at least two thousand Metahumans above B-Class in the Federation, there must be two every year, after all, it's been so long.

However, the Hu Family Intelligence Agency has only registered more than three hundred Forbidden Artifact.

Where did the rest go? Either they are being collected by people, or the host died with the Forbidden Artifact in the Forbidden Zone, and then it was lost.

At this time, explorers can completely search for treasures in the Forbidden Zone according to the principle that Forbidden Artifact cannot be damaged, and once they find a Forbidden Artifact, they can directly be financially free.

And this matter is of course most suitable for Gu Dong to do, he is not bound by rules, and also has the racial talent of the King of Beasts.

Gu Dong said, "Okay, I'll start tomorrow"

Qing Chen smiled, this is what he wants.

Daybreak and the Knight Order want to change this world, how can the old fellows stay comfortably in the Forbidden Zone, everyone has to roll up together!

Qin Sheng asked, "What are your plans next?"

Qing Chen thought for a while and replied, "I'll stay here with Ding Dong for a while, and then go to City 10 to kill someone."

Inside City 10.

Eight young people hid in a small alley in District 4, someone looked at his watch and said, "Why hasn't that old guy come out yet, it's been two hours, even dating a mistress doesn't take this long. I thought the task of tracking him and mastering his whereabouts would be easy, but I didn't expect it to be such a waste of time. Hey, Li Chao, why don't you go beg Sun Chuci again, anyway, we're also buying fruit with money, why not earn money if we have money."

"I'm not going," Li Chao, who used to be in Sun Chuci's team, lowered his head, "If he had gone to the Agricultural Academy with him back then, maybe he wouldn't have to work so hard to do tasks."

"What are you thinking," a new friend said with a smile, "Even if they went to the Agricultural Academy, they wouldn't be able to get too many benefits, such precious things, how could the Academy allow them to enjoy them privately. Don't think so much, when this task is completed, let's go to the "Whoever Doesn't Get Drunk Tonight is a Dog' bar to celebrate."

Li Chao thought for a while and said, "Okay, there's a dancer there who's very beautiful."

"Haha, it costs a lot of money to pick up a dancer there," the new friend said in a low voice.

At this time, in the dirty and garbage-filled alley, someone suddenly said, "Do you feel like those two little mice in the corner seem to be sizing us up?"

"Aren't the rats in this District 4 afraid of people anymore?" Someone picked up an empty beer can from the ground and threw it out, but the two little mice only dodged a little, and then continued to size them up, without any fear.

"Strange," Li Chao said.

He didn't know why, but he always had a very uncomfortable feeling, those two little mice didn't seem to be simply curious, but rather like a scrutiny of objects.

A girl said, "A few days ago, when I was doing Academy tasks, I went to the Lower Third District, and I found that it was much better than where we live, clean and sanitary, and the security seemed to be not bad, why don't we move there?"

The new friend laughed, "How is that possible, the Lower Third District is known for being dirty and chaotic."

Li Chao interrupted, "Stop talking, I feel something is wrong, the target we're tracking has been up there for too long, either something happened, or they found us. What should we do, should we go upstairs and take a look? I know where his mistress's house is."

Those new friends shook their heads, "Our task is to track, don't be so adventurous."

Li Chao frowned, in the past, Sun Chuci would probably have taken the initiative to take on the responsibility of the captain, and Sun Chuci would have completed the dangerous things.

Now it's different, no one is willing to stand up actively anymore.

Li Chao sighed and said, "You wait here, I'll go take a look."

He took the elevator to the 10th floor and quietly walked towards Room 10, but he noticed something abnormal as soon as he reached the door, there was blood slowly flowing out of the house.

Li Chao immediately kicked the door open, only to see that the gang leader and the mistress were already lying in a pool of blood, there were also three palm-sized rats on them, suddenly looking up at him.

There was no fear in the eyes of those rats, just like before, Li Chao was being scrutinized by them as an object!

Li Chao slowly retreated, but the rats did not attack him, but turned around and drilled into the dark crevices of the room, disappearing without a trace.
