Online Dating Becoming Real
Bite.
Just as Zheng Yuandong was speaking, Lu Yuan's phone rang.
But then the man in the road team picked up his phone, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yuandong asked calmly.
"Qing Chen sent me his salary card number," Lu Yuan's expression gradually turned ferocious. "How could he have the nerve to send me his salary card number! What kind of underworld operation is this? Can't he do something decent?"
"Caught between two organizations, I actually think his decision was very wise," Zheng Yuandong said, taking a sip of his tea. "But I thought he would refuse both, I didn't expect him to join both... Interesting."
"So what do we do now?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.
"What else can we do? Let's put Qing Chen on hold for now," Zheng Yuandong said. "This student is too smart; no organization can control him. Since we can't control him, let's be friends. However, there's another person in Luocheng who's very well hidden. I need to personally go and win him over. We can't let this kind of person fall into the hands of Jiuzhou."
After saying that, Zheng Yuandong put down his teacup, got up and walked outside. The car was already prepared.
In the small house on Xingshu Road, Nan Gengchen silently watched Qing Chen send his bank card number to He Jinqiu and Lu Yuan respectively. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "Brother Chen, what's this...?"
"Now that I've joined them, I should get a salary, right? This card will be my salary card from now on," Qing Chen said earnestly. "I don't know how much the monthly salary is, let me ask..."
However, Qing Chen's inquiry about his salary went unanswered; both Lu Yuan and He Jinqiu stopped paying attention to him.
Qing Chen sat on the sofa and sighed, "There must be spies between those two organizations. They found out the truth so quickly."
The attempt to scam wages failed.
Although this was within Qing Chen's expectations, he did not expect it to be discovered so quickly.
"Brother Chen, why do you want both organizations to agree to join?" Nan Gengchen asked, puzzled.
"I'm already being watched," Qing Chen explained. "I believe that although Kunlun and Jiuzhou don't know that I'm Shadow Candidate, nor do they know that I'm Li Shutong's student, they are absolutely certain that I am the person on Laojun Mountain. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to organize blood tests for all the teachers and students in the school. That was also aimed at me."
Qing Chen continued, "In this situation, instead of continuing to hide, it's better to join openly. Joining all organizations is the same as not joining any."
Nan Gengchen opened his mouth wide. "Brother Chen, what you said makes so much sense."
At this point, it was only because Qing Chen tore up the letter from the holder of the Demon Stamp that he was able to do so; otherwise, he would have simply replied saying he wanted to join, and joined every known organization in the country before making any decisions.
In the future, if everyone believes it...
He was the first person to promote national unity within the Time Walker, a feat worthy of being recorded in history.
If no one believes him and they all discover that he has a stake in every organization, then probably no one will bother to contact him anymore.
This tactic is called actively getting everyone to block you out.
Qing Chen said, "It seems to be working quite well so far. Look, Kunlun and Jiuzhou are ignoring me now."
Nan Gengchen said with difficulty, "Awesome..."
This comeback only lasted two days, which was very rushed.
Everyone knew that the second round of the Shadow Struggle was about to begin. After a brief exchange of information in the group, the Time Walker returned to silence once again.
Many people have already secretly made plans for themselves. After their next journey, the first thing they will do is head to City No. 18.
Qing Chen was already quietly waiting there.
In the final moments before the time travel, He Xiaoxiao, the group owner of all the chat groups, suddenly sent a message. This was the first time He Xiaoxiao had spoken since the chat groups were created. "Hello everyone, fellow Time Walker, the expansion 'Shadow Struggle 2' is extremely dangerous and difficult. Please form your own teams and participate with caution."
When Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen saw this message, they suddenly realized that this was probably because Jiuzhou was worried that everyone would go too crazy for the Forbidden Item, causing unnecessary losses to the Time Walker.
From the perspective of Jiuzhou and Kunlun, the other side would naturally hope that as many Time Walker as possible would survive.
Countdown 00:00:00.
Reset to zero.
Return countdown: 168:00:00.
When the world regained its light, Qing Chen was still standing in the boxing gym, surrounded by crazed gamblers.
In the aisle, beer girls carrying beer jugs passed by everyone, enthusiastically and energetically promoting their drinks.
Qing Chen did not leave immediately after transmigrating, but continued to watch the boxing match for two more hours before turning around and leaving the boxing gym.
The Time Walker's time is full of fragmentation, so many people's words and actions become inconsistent after traveling through time and returning.
For example, one second they're watching a game, the next they're doing something else.
In fact, many Time Walker returns, they almost forget what they were doing when they last returned.
But Qing Chen wouldn't do that. Before he transmigrates, he will completely restore himself to the state before his last return. In this way, the logic behind what he does next will still be coherent.
He was laughing before, and he's still laughing now. He raised his hand to cheer before, and he's still raising his hand to cheer now. His movements and expressions are not stiff at all.
In this world filled with doubt, Qing Chen's memories are undoubtedly an advantage.
He boarded the hovercar and left.
Inside the car, Yi asked, "How many days did you go back this time?"
"Two days," Qing Chen replied. "And during these two days, my mood has calmed down a lot, and I no longer have to think about the moment when the Deity's Scepter falls all the time."
"Knights have long lifespans, so even if your life is divided in two, you will still look younger than others," Yi said.
"Who is the knight with the longest lifespan, and how long did he live?" Qing Chen asked curiously.
"Keep it a secret," Yi said.
Qing Chen was puzzled. What was so secret that couldn't be told? Could there be knights from a very, very long time ago still alive today?!
"By the way, there's something else I need help with," Qing Chen said. "There was a prisoner named Liu Dezhu in Prison No. 18, but he's been transferred to Prison No. 10. If I want to help him clear his name, what should I do?"
Chaos is about to break out. Other Shadow Candidate have C-Class protection from their family factions. If he wants to hunt down those candidates, he naturally needs a C-Class protector as well.
He doesn't need to participate in the second round of missions, and he doesn't need to kill the Shadow Candidate, but if he can grab some Forbidden Item, wouldn't he become a winner in life in no time?
In addition, Qing Chen was also considering how much money Liu Dezhu could borrow based on his credit score...
As a result, Yi said, "I am Artificial Intelligence, a friend of the knights, not the steward of your Knight Organization. You have to figure out this yourself."
Qing Chen was taken aback for a moment. "I'm sorry, I overlooked this. It won't happen again."
"Of course, it's not impossible for me to help you," Yi said after a moment's thought, "But you have to do something for me that you are capable of doing."
Qing Chen raised an eyebrow. "Does Artificial Intelligence also need to ask for favors from humans?"
"Does that mean Artificial Intelligence isn't human?" Yi asked. "Do you agree or not?"
"I agree," Qing Chen said.
"Okay, Liu Dezhu's identity in the Inner World is a member of the Hesheng Society," Yi said. "I've already investigated this. All the cases he's involved in were scapegoats for a few directors of the Hesheng Society. So as long as those directors confess and accept their punishment, Liu Dezhu won't have to serve so many years. Liu Dezhu himself recanted his confession in prison, which involved perjury, but the circumstances are minor and can be reduced to three months. If he performs meritorious service, he can be released on the same day he clears his name."
Yi continued, "I can give you all the information on how to get away with it after you complete the exchange."
Qing Chen asked doubtfully, "Why do I have the feeling that you had already prepared the information and were waiting for me to exchange terms with you?"
"Hahahaha," a stiff laugh came from the hovercar's speakers, "Really?"
"Of course," Qing Chen said helplessly. "By the way, in your opinion, how difficult would it be to exonerate Liu Dezhu?"
"It's not that difficult," Yi said calmly. "The Hesheng Society is a small gang that specializes in privately modified mechanical limbs. They hunt down lone mechanical limb owners after nightfall and steal their mechanical limbs."
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the same as the dark organizations in some parts of the Outer World that steal human organs? In a sense, such organizations were just as despicable as those who trafficked women and children.
"The highest level in the Hesheng Society is only a few E-Class," Yi said. "This is a good opportunity to test your true combat ability. However, you'll have to figure out how to get them to confess."
Qing Chen seemed to be deep in thought.
"Oh, right, there's something else," Qing Chen said. "I need a program that can hide my identity in the Outer World network. Can you get me one?"
"Of course!" Yi's voice brightened. "But in the same way, you'll owe me a favor and need to do something for me that you can."
"Wait, Data Fortress such commonplace?" Qing Chen asked.
"Data Fortress is just a firewall product from Chen's 'Blue Shield Company,' nothing special. What I'm giving you is definitely different. Don't worry, it'll be well worth the money," Yi earnestly promoted.
Qing Chen asked, "Why do I get the feeling that you really want me to agree to your conditions?"
"I'm just trying to help you," Yi said sincerely. "After all, my family and your Knight Organization have been friends for generations. How could I stand by and watch the next generation of knights' leaders suffer without offering any assistance?"
"Okay, then let's talk about your terms of the deal?" Qing Chen asked.
Yi fell silent.
It took it a long time to say, "It's like this, I made friends online, and they keep asking to meet in person, but I don't have a physical body, so I can't meet them..."
Qing Chen's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in shock, "What the hell is this if not online dating?"
He said in a low voice, "Say what you want..."
"So, you want me to pretend to be you and meet the other person?" Qing Chen thought to himself. These days, there are all sorts of people in online dating, and some might not even be human.
Adding the update from the 27th, June is finally over. Next month, I'll slowly pay back the debt to the Golden Alliance...
