Naming Technique of the Night-Chapter 963 - 599, Taboo Land No. 10

Shadow: "What you should be most worried about now is that people from Jindai, Deer Island, Chen Clan, and Qing’s Family all want to kill you and also want to kill me. My curse backlash is becoming more frequent, making this journey extremely dangerous and far from easy."

Qing Chen asked in confusion, "I can understand why Jindai and Deer Island want to kill me. Even Qing’s Family, because of power struggles, might want to kill me, which I can also understand. But I have no enmity with the Chen Clan, why would they want to kill me? My master’s uncle, Chen Jiazhang, is still a member of the Chen Clan."

"This involves old grudges between the Knight Organization and the Chen Clan," Shadow replied. "There’s also a woman in the Chen Clan who turned love into hate for your master, Uncle Li Dong. Moreover, do you know why Chen Yu’s father, Chen Chuanzhi, who was a demigod, died so young? Chen Chuanzhi was only 70 years old, appeared just forty, and normally a demigod would have no problem living to 140 or 150."

Qing Chen frowned, "Because my master injured him? Why did my master injure him?"

According to legend, Uncle Li was idle and after becoming a demigod, challenged everyone to a fight and chose Chen Chuanzhi as his first opponent.

It became quite a tale.

But now it seems that wasn’t the case.

Shadow laughed, "You should know, your master’s uncle, Chen Jiazhang, had his future forcibly interrupted during a life-and-death challenge, leaving him stuck at A-Class with a mental demon. The person who cut off his future was Chen Chuanzhi, who was also at A-Class at the time. It was only after impeding Chen Jiazhang’s future that Chen Chuanzhi went into seclusion outside City 7."

Knights repay their grievances from dawn till dusk.

Back then, the twelve knights fought Jindai so fiercely that even the Jindai Consortium had to swallow their pride, and as the Knight Leader, Uncle Li naturally had to avenge his senior brother.

Shadow: "So, right after Uncle Li became a demigod, he went to find Chen Chuanzhi, severely injuring him but sparing his life. At the time, Chen Yu pleaded for his father, claiming a favor from the Chen Clan knights, which was reasonable, but after all, this was an old grudge."

"Why did Chen Chuanzhi want to cut off my master’s uncle’s future? Knights generally aren’t the type to covet power and wouldn’t compete for it," Qing Chen asked.

"Perhaps he feared Chen Jiazhang would become a demigod before him? Or maybe he feared Chen Jiazhang’s high prestige would cause the Chen Clan to fall apart," Shadow said. "In a big, deep family, just because you say you don’t want to compete doesn’t mean others won’t guard against you. Now, Chen Yu is already a demigod, and you’re only B-Class, far behind him."

"Why does it sound like you’re gloating?" Qing Chen felt displeased.

Shadow laughed heartily, "When Chen Yu comes to kill you, won’t you suddenly drop dead?"

"It can’t be, a demigod dignifying himself to kill me?" Qing Chen was taken aback for a moment.

"Who knows, anyway, people from the Chen Family are all petty... except for Yanyan," Shadow added.

Yanyan laughed, "I’m a Time Traveler, and I don’t really interact with the core figures of the Chen Clan. But I do hear a female elder at home often say that knights are no good."

Shadow shrugged, "I think the same."

Qing Chen: "..."

In the carriage, it wasn’t just Qing Chen and others.

Compared to Qing Chen and their merry card game atmosphere, the other side with Ma Jingjing, Yi Wenbo, and others was quite gloomy.

They were quietly observing Qing Chen and his group.

Initially, they were worried that Qing Chen and his group would rob and kill them on the road, but then they felt they couldn’t understand these people...

Xiao Yu said, "They’re all young people, women, and children, and they don’t carry weapons. Why don’t we just take the gold coins back? Each of us has the strength of D-Class, and Ma Jingjing even got lucky to become a C-Class Genetic Warrior, surely we won’t lose to them."

Ma Jingjing whispered, "It’s not that simple. Anyone daring to bring women and children into the wilderness surely isn’t easy to deal with. I think we better not make trouble. Look at those kids and women, all skinny and weak. Whoever brought them out might be really powerful."

Xiao Yu muttered, "I don’t see what’s so powerful about them..."

Yi Wenbo thought for a moment and asked, "How many gold coins do we have left?"

Ma Jingjing said, "There are four left, but these are promised to that guide. If we want to enter Taboo Land No. 10, the price has to be this, otherwise no one will take us in. Don’t worry, once I go with the guide, I can remember the route and maybe figure out the rules he knows. Then we can go there by ourselves."

Taboo Land No. 10 is famous for being rich in resources and was originally in the hands of the Fire Pit, like its production base.

The Fire Pit used the dragon fish, Immortal Flower, and Six-winged Flying Ant from this forbidden land to make money.

Dragon Fish were sold to Transcendents to strengthen their muscles and bones.

Immortal Flowers were sold to pharmaceutical companies for use in anti-aging drugs.

Six-winged Flying Ants were used to make wine, which could enhance virility.

Each was quite profitable.

The Fire Pit lived a very wealthy life for years, much like Saudi Arabia in the Outer World.

However, for unknown reasons, the Fire Pit suddenly sold two rules of Taboo Land No. 10 and never went there again.

But there are more than two rules in Taboo Land No. 10, and many who bought them to ’strike gold’ ended up dying inside.

There is a rumor that it has become the knights’ personal reserve, but no one knows where this rumor came from, and no one has verified it.

Now, the reserves of Immortal Flowers from all pharmaceutical companies are insufficient, so high rewards have been offered, with many wanting to try their luck in Taboo Land No. 10. It’s one of the few places in the Federation that produces Immortal Flowers.

At this moment, the steam train stopped at a station.

They watched with wide eyes as Qing Chen, who had been holding playing cards one moment, suddenly crossed the long carriage and went to the ticket counter the next moment.

"Excuse me, excuse me," Qing Chen passed by them in the aisle.

Ma Jingjing and Yi Wenbo exchanged a glance, seemingly confirming that Qing Chen indeed carried no weapons.

However, Qing Chen paused for a moment during the ticket sale, as he saw more than a dozen people outside the steam train. Although they didn’t appear fierce, everyone had guns at their waists.

Moreover, the most crucial part is that Qing Chen has seen these people before.

To be precise, Luo Wanya has sent him information on all Blue Family Members and above.

And these dozen or so people in front of him are all Parent Association Members!

Wait.

These people seem to have been sent by Luo Wanya, who gained some experience, to the southern City No. 13 for "property renovation" trials, because the road to City No. 13 is blocked by two Taboo Lands, leaving only a narrow path known as the Minnan Corridor.

That area is already controlled by the group army of the Chen Clan, with checkpoints set up, and only the Steam Train can quietly pass through the Taboo Land to reach City No. 13 secretly.

Among these Parent Association Members, there are two Golden Family Members whose strength has reached C-Class!

Indeed, Luo Wanya acted quickly, and this former gang leader actually has the resolve to fight for a cause.

Qing Chen smiled and said to the Parent Association Members: "Everyone, get on the train. With me here, there’s no need for anyone to pay for a ticket."

While collecting money is joyful, saving money for one’s own organization can be equally joyful!

The leading Golden Family Member hesitated: "I heard that riding the Steam Train requires Gold Coins."

Qing Chen laughed: "No need, with me here, no Gold Coins are needed. Come on up."

The Family Members looked at each other, having never heard that the Steam Train had an Artifact Spirit.

Seeing the Parent Association Members being cautious, Qing Chen whispered: "I am a Blue Family Member, and I have seen your information with Lao Luo. I’m here to assist you, rest assured and come on up. Don’t make a fuss, there are outsiders on the train."

The Family Members’ eyes lit up at once, they’ve found the organization!

People filed in and found seats.

Ma Jingjing and the others were stunned: "This time he didn’t collect Gold Coins, why?"

Xiao Yu whispered: "It’s probably because there are many people, so he didn’t dare to charge. Look at his apologetic look, it’s like bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Qing Chen looked at the Parent Association Members as if looking at his own assets. Thirteen members of the Parents’ Meeting have come, and he’s saving them 13 Gold Coins.

Moreover, the Parent Association is going to a new city to expand territories; how could he not be happy?

Thus, his smile was exceptionally bright.

However, this scene in the eyes of Xiao Yu and his group looked like the posture of fearing powerful bosses and apologizing.

The four of them gathered: "Let’s show off our strength too and make this bully give us back our Gold Coins!"

"How do we show strength?" Ma Jingjing wondered: "We can’t just fight them or snatch it back by force."

"Do your best to avoid conflict. Otherwise, just be direct and tell them your strength level," Yi Wenbo pondered. "Our money isn’t easily earned, so getting it back would be best. Your level would be outstanding even in the wild."

Ma Jingjing nodded, got up, and walked toward Qing Chen.

Arriving beside Shadow, Yangyang, Qing Chen, and Zhang Mengchan, he bent down and whispered: "I’m a C-Class Genetic Warrior."

The three glanced at each other, Qing Chen thought for two seconds: "Hmm... anything else?"

"No... nothing," Ma Jingjing turned and went back.

Yangyang and others felt somewhat puzzled, wondering why he was suddenly reporting his strength level. Was he trying to show weakness...?

Ma Jingjing returned to his seat, and Yi Wenbo asked: "How did it go, why didn’t you get the Gold Coins back? Didn’t you mention your strength?"

Ma Jingjing said: "I did mention it, but they all seemed a bit dismissive of me."

Xiao Yu: "It’s definitely bluffing; a C-Class is already very impressive. If each of them dismisses you, wouldn’t it mean each is above B-Class? That’s impossible!"

Yi Wenbo muttered: "Yeah, impossible..."

Qing Chen suddenly said: "These people are going to Taboo Land No. 10, saying they’ve found a guide in the wilderness for a price of four Gold Coins. I think there’s something wrong with this guide because, as of now, only we Knights know the last rule of Taboo Land No. 10, and the guide is likely to be tricking them."

Qing Chen: "Furthermore, they will also be our seniors in the Outer World. It’s no problem to help them a bit."

The most crucial thing is that he still owes Li Ke a Dragon Fish, something he promised his apprentice as a mentor.

Additionally, if Daylight could eat nine each, everyone’s strength could be rapidly increased.

On one hand, eating them makes it less likely to break bones, enhancing survival capabilities. On the other hand, eating them increases hearing.

Jinguji Maki needs the miraculous food from the Taboo Land to accelerate progress.

Qing Chen looked towards Xiao Mengqiu, wondering what changes would occur in this child who lost his eyes after enhancing hearing.

Shadow frowned: "The matter of Taboo Land No. 10 is one of the least honorable things your Knight Organization has done."

Qing Chen thought and replied: "As far as I know, this doesn’t even count as much..."

Shadow: "..."

Yangyang: "..."
