How Time Walkers Made Money
At home on Xingshu Road, Nan Gengchen saw Qing Chen secretly glance at the communicator a few times when no one was paying attention, and then he frowned.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen?" Nan Gengchen asked.
"Those spoiled brats from the next class are going to jail. This morning they went to Liu Dezhu with money, hoping Liu Dezhu would take care of them in prison," Qing Chen said.
"Huh?" Nan Gengchen was taken aback. "How much?"
"Three million is a considerable sum for us," Qing Chen said. "However, I have already persuaded Liu Dezhu to refuse. After all, he has been released from prison, and there is a difference between making money and swindling money."
"Oh, that's a bit of a pity," Nan Gengchen muttered. "Xiao Tongyun and I can only bring back a few gold bars to the Outer World at a time. It would take more than ten trips to gather the 3 million."
"Yes," Qing Chen nodded, "I also feel a little heartbroken about those 3 million."
"But Brother Chen, you've already been rejected by Liu Dezhu, so why are you still looking so worried? This isn't like you," Nan Gengchen said...
Qing Chen pondered, "I'm thinking about a question."
"What's the problem?"
"Should we send Liu Dezhu back to Prison No. 10?" Qing Chen asked calmly.
Nan Gengchen: "???"
Liu Dezhu exclaimed that he was an expert!
Nan Gengchen thought Qing Chen was still worried about the money, but Qing Chen was actually weighing the pros and cons of sending Liu Dezhu back to prison versus keeping Liu Dezhu in City No. 18...
"Brother Chen, what was your decision?" Nan Gengchen asked tentatively.
"Forget it, let's leave him outside," Qing Chen sighed. "We desperately need C-Class combat power right now."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
However, the other party didn't knock on 102, where Qing Chen and the others were, but on 101 across the hall.
"Xiao Chen, it's your mother, please open the door," Zhang Wanfang said from the stairwell.
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He stood calmly inside the door and looked across the door through the peephole.
Zhang Wanfang and her current husband were seen carrying yogurt and fruit, standing outside Taipei 101 as if they were visiting a guest.
Zhang Wanfang probably doesn't know that Qing Guozhong has already sold the house.
"Strange, where did Xiao Chen go? Isn't he home?" Zhang Wanfang asked, her expression puzzled.
The middle-aged man next to her said, "He's probably already gone to school. Let's go, we're a little late for work."
"No, Xiao Chen suddenly deleted me on WeChat and blocked my phone number. Something must have happened. I think he's at home, but he just doesn't want to see me," Zhang Wanfang said.
The middle-aged man gently patted her back. "Everything will be alright. If anything were to happen, his father would have called you. Let's go, we have a conference call later, it concerns business across the ocean. We have to go to Jingcheng tomorrow, then fly over there. Let's talk about everything when we get back, okay?"
Qing Chen knew that this middle-aged man was very good at persuading Zhang Wanfang with a gentle tone, and all Zhang Wanfang needed was a reason.
Zhang Wanfang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the iron door of Room 101: "Xiao Chen, I left the yogurt and fruit at the door. Remember to take them inside."
After saying that, the two left, leaving the yogurt and fruit at the door and getting into their car outside the building without looking back.
The car is a Mercedes-Benz, and one thing is certain: Zhang Wanfang's life is getting better and better.
Inside the room, Nan Gengchen looked at Qing Chen: "Brother Chen, you..."
"It's alright," Qing Chen calmly shook his head. "If it's over, it's over. If you still have emotional fluctuations, it means the breakup wasn't clean enough."
From the moment he climbed the Green Mountain Cliff, he completely severed ties with his past life.
Otherwise, the surging sunrise and emotions on the Green Mountain Cliff would also be fake.
Once a move is made, there's no going back.
"Oh," Nan Gengchen said, "It's good that you're alright."
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "The current residence on Xingshu Road is a bit conspicuous. I'm considering saving up to buy a place so that the members of Baizhou can stay together and take care of each other."
Jiang Xue's identity was exposed before, which led to someone discovering the Time Walker's residence on Xingshu Road through the media.
Moreover, Qing Chen also had to consider another issue: if he continued to live on Xingshu Road, there would be unnecessary trouble if Qing Guozhong were released from prison or if his mother Zhang Wanfang came looking for him in the future.
If you're going to sever family ties, then you should sever them cleanly.
"To make money," Qing Chen said, "We can accumulate wealth much faster in the Outer World."
For Qing Chen, accumulating wealth is not for buying houses, cars, or RVs, but for providing support to the Daylight Organization.
To allow people to move freely between the Inner World without being troubled by money.
Moreover, Qing Chen's future challenges to overcome Life and Death Trial will be very expensive.
But how do you make money?
Qing Chen looked at Nan Gengchen: "I saw you were scrolling through your phone all night last night. Are there any examples online of Time Walker?"
"Yes," Nan Gengchen said, "Selling information is one method, but I'm not sure how they do it. In the more grassroots commercial direction, someone developed a universal remote control, which became incredibly popular."
"What the heck? A universal remote control?" Qing Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, I don't know how it works either. It can turn off the speakers of the square-dancing aunties from within 200 meters," Nan Gengchen explained. "Apparently, a group of square-dancing aunties in Jingcheng are going crazy because this thing can not only turn off the speakers, but also directly change the music playing on them. Those aunties were doing a folk dance when suddenly the speakers started playing..."
Qing Chen: "???"
Nan Gengchen lowered his voice. "This thing is selling like hotcakes on JD. com right now, but it's something that's been around since the Inner World..."
Qing Chen: "..."
He underestimated the nature of the Time Walker. First, they introduced rich women, then they preyed on square-dancing aunties. They actually managed to find this business opportunity!
Absolutely amazing!
Qing Chen pondered what they should do to make money, or rather, what could they do during the day to quickly amass wealth?
He didn't want to engage in ordinary production and business operations. It wasn't that he looked down on them, but rather that too many business-related matters would distract him from mundane affairs during the day.
Making Daylight an organization that specializes in selling intelligence seems like a good option, but he felt he should be more cautious and have a small meeting with the other members of Daylight before making a decision.
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said to Nan Gengchen, "Now that we have our own data protection measures, we should create our own 'Daytime' group chat so that we can communicate with each other using our mobile phones without having to conspicuously carry communicators."
Nan Gengchen's eyes lit up. "That's right!"
When the two arrived at the school, they suddenly found that almost all the girls in the school were gathered at the school gate.
A black van pulled up, and before the doors even opened, all the girls swarmed around it, shouting Jiang Yichen's name.
Qing Chen Nan Gengchen exchanged a glance and continued walking into the school as if nothing had happened.
Nan Gengchen muttered to himself, "Isn't such a high-profile Time Walker afraid of getting into trouble?"
"Have you heard of such a person in the Inner World?" Qing Chen asked.
"No," Nan Gengchen shook his head.
"He's so high-profile in the Outer World, but he's not well-known in the Inner World. You haven't even heard of anything related to him. Isn't that unusual?" Qing Chen said.
"Brother Chen, are you saying there's something wrong with him?" Nan Gengchen asked curiously, "Didn't Liu Dezhu say he was just an ordinary person in the Inner World?"
"An ordinary person with such high profile would have been identified by Time Walker controlled by conglomerates long ago. So I suspect he might be one of the Time Walker controlled by conglomerates now," Qing Chen calmly analyzed. "If he were just an ordinary Time Walker, why wouldn't he stay in the Jingcheng if he wanted to curry favor with a powerful figure, instead of going through all the trouble of transferring to Luo City? There are already several known powerful Time Walker in the Jingcheng, and the headquarters of Jiuzhou is there too, so there's absolutely no need for him to come to Luo City."
Qing Chen continued, "Recently, things have been turbulent in City No. 18. We need to be extra careful about the suspicious figures appearing in Luo City. Those Time Walker who have survived until now are not fools... except for that group of spoiled brats."
"Brother Chen, which conglomerate do you think he is a Time Walker?" Nan Gengchen asked.
"The Li family, the Chen family, the Qing family, Kashima, and Kamishiro are all possibilities," Qing Chen guessed casually, "But that has nothing to do with us."
"What does it have to do with us?" Nan Gengchen asked.
"The Time Walker carries Forbidden Item is related to us."
Nan Gengchen: "..."
"Etc."
At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly started searching for information about Jiang Yichen on his phone.
From the other person's achievements in their works, to their awards in their acting career, and finally to their recent schedule.
"Brother Chen, didn't you say he had nothing to do with us? Then why are you still searching for him?" Nan Gengchen asked, puzzled.
Qing Chen looked up and said, "In the past month and a half, he hasn't been to Japan, but he has been to Busan Goryeo, and attended an awards ceremony there. Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is working for Kashima."
"Huh?" Nan Gengchen was surprised. He knew that Qing Chen's suspicions would most likely be proven true in the end.
Qing Chen looked at Nan Gengchen: "If he is working for Kashima and Kamishiro, then it concerns us, it concerns each and every one of us."
Nan Gengchen still had doubts. "People from our country probably wouldn't work for Kashima or Kamishiro, would they?"
"Don't underestimate the power of interests," Qing Chen said as he walked into the classroom. In fact, he was also thinking about why Jiang Yichen came to Luocheng if he really was from Kashima.
Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen were already there. They glanced at Qing Chen and greeted him warmly.
To other students, Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, Qing Chen, and Nan Gengchen were four people who had absolutely no connection, but in fact, only they themselves knew that they all belonged to the same organization.
Hu Xiaoniu watched Qing Chen sit down beside him and suddenly said, "Qing Chen, the boss just told me and Tianzhen that you are also a member of Bai Zhou, and even our senior. This is a gift we prepared for you, please take good care of us."
As he spoke, Hu Xiaoniu took a box out of his schoolbag. Qing Chen recognized the logo on the box: Rolex...
He suddenly thought of a question: with a tycoon like Hu Xiaoniu in the organization, do they still need to consider how to make money?
However, Qing Chen ultimately pushed the watch back. "Thank you, but you don't need to."
