Daybreak Group (Thanks to Didi Driver for Becoming a Golden Grand Alliance Leader)

Countdown: 146:20:00.

9:40 p. m.

The members of the "Daytime" group received invitations to join the group at almost the same time: The "Daytime" group has been established. All members can click the link to join. To ensure everyone's safety, please hide your real name when registering. Also, please do not reveal your real identity in the real world (or the real world) within the group. In addition, it is best to keep the same group chat ID as He Xiaoxiao's group chat so that you can take care of each other within He Xiaoxiao's group chat.

Everyone clicked the link in the message and downloaded a group chat system that was almost identical to He Xiaoxiao's group chat.

The difference is that He Xiaoxiao's group chat doesn't allow group members to chat privately, while this one does.

Qing Chen created an ID for himself called "Ice Eye," and "Boss" was simply called "Boss" for easy identification.

At this moment, only Qing Chen's system is special; he can freely switch between the IDs "Ice Eye" and "Boss" within the app to speak.

The moment the group chat was created, he asked Yi, "Did you steal this system from He Xiaoxiao?"

"Sharing," Outer World Division Yi said seriously, "One of the Outer World doesn't actually possess such powerful abilities; it's just a simple architecture built by imitating its functions."

"I see."

At this moment, Qing Chen was thinking more about He Xiaoxiao's chat group who, like him, were using two different identities.

Qing Chen typed on his phone. "Okay, this is Bai Zhou's future chat system, his own chat system. There are a total of 8 people here, including me..."

He typed this and before he could even send it, he noticed that the group chat header showed 9 people!

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. He opened the group chat member list and found that there were nine people in the group, one more than expected!

What's going on?!

He glanced at the unfamiliar ID "Monopoly" and immediately said to his phone with an annoyed tone, "One?!"

"Oh, how did you know it was me?" Yi replied via voice message on her phone.

"Even a fool would know it's you, okay?" Qing Chen said helplessly, "Why are you hiding an alias in the group?"

"I'm a member of Daylight too!" Yi said. "And look, there's someone in the group called Little Rich Girl, and I'm called Tycoon. What a perfect match!"

Okay, so even the boss himself doesn't know how many people are in his organization.

"Are you really a girl?" Qing Chen asked, heartbroken. "What kind of girl is this mischievous?!"

"Hey, you little rascal, don't be so startled," Yi said.

Qing Chen was taken aback. "You disappeared for half a day, did you go for a stroll around Chuanzhou?!"

Yi chuckled and said, "I find the dialects of your Outer World quite interesting. How was my lesson?"

"As long as you're happy," Qing Chen sighed. Seeing that Yi had turned into a Sichuan girl after arriving in the Outer World, he was having a hard time accepting it...

Fortunately, the other party was just looking for something new.

However, now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. He typed in the group chat. "This is Bai Zhou's chat system, our own chat system. There are nine of us here, including myself. Everyone's phones are protected by Data Fortress, so there's no need to worry about leaks. Similarly, I hope everyone will refrain from sharing the chat information in the group; it's top secret. Now, everyone can briefly introduce themselves. You don't need to reveal your identity; just tell us what kind of help you can offer others."

Ice Eye: "Hello everyone, I'm skilled in hand-to-hand combat and firearms."

At this time, Jiang Xue was unaware of the establishment of the Daylight Organization, nor did she know what the organization did; she was inexplicably pulled into it.

So after introducing himself, Qing Chen immediately sent a private message to Jiang Xue in the group chat. "Aunt Jiang Xue, the ID 'Ice Eye' is me. Someone created this group chat to make it easier for everyone to help each other."

Jiang Xue quickly replied, "Okay, I understand."

Within the daytime group.

Liu Dezhu: "Hello everyone, I believe you are all very familiar with me..."

A Little Duck: "Hello everyone, I can provide some important information about the Inner World."

This was agreed upon by Qing Chen and Nan Gengchen; in the future, much information will be conveyed to the members of Bai Zhou through Nan Gengchen.

However, at this moment, Qing Chen was surprised to find that Nan Gengchen's chat box had been decorated.

The first thing this kid did after joining the group was to make a purchase!

He opened the group chat shop; the number of "chat boxes" sold was 1.

"Group entry effect" sold: 1 unit.

1 "Chat Background" sold.

It's easy to imagine that all of these things were bought by Nan Gengchen.

Qing Chen asked his phone, "Yi, where did the money Nan Gengchen paid go?"

"That's my allowance, don't even think about it," Yi said.

Qing Chen sighed, "Once this group chat was set up, the members were all incredibly eccentric."

Moreover, he realized that Yi would soon be able to disguise herself in the Outer World and then make money.

Without her Xiao Jin from the Inner World, this greedy little dinosaur feels insecure and is about to start saving!

At this moment, in the daytime group, "Brave Bull Bull" said, "Hello everyone, I don't have much ability in the Inner World right now, but in the Outer World I can provide you with financial and legal advice. My family has a professional legal consulting team."

This is Hu Xiaoniu.

"Not Afraid of Difficulties" said, "Hello everyone, I'm Niu Niu's friend, and we can offer the same help."

This is Zhang Tianzhen.

Qiu Xue: "Hello everyone, I can provide assistance with the modification of mechanical limbs."

This is Jiang Xue.

Here comes the main event: the Little Rich Girl said in the group, "I can provide some information and financial support in the Inner World."

Qiu Xue asked curiously, "Is the Little Rich Girl' a girl? Finally, there's a girl in the group."

Little Rich Girl: "Hmm, it's a girl..."

Qiu Xue asked, "How old are you this year?"

Little Rich Girl: "I'm 17 years old."

Qiu Xue said happily, "I'm a little older than you, you can call me older sister."

The Little Rich Girl sweetly sent a message: "Sister Xue!"

The Little Rich Girl was clearly Li Tongyun. Qing Chen looked at the chat history and began to feel sympathy for Li Tongyun.

She really dared to call me "sister".

If Jiang Xue finds out the "Little Rich Girl's" true identity in the future, it would be a miracle if Xiao Tongyun didn't get a good beating...

For some reason, Qing Chen even had some expectations for this.

"There's another friend in the group," said A Little Duck, "Monopoly, why don't you introduce yourself too?"

Monopoly: "In the Inner World, I can provide you with some technical support, microloans, tax planning, and emotional counseling. In the Outer World, I can provide you with some basic technical support. By the way, I am also female, 16 years old."

There was a moment of silence in the group. What on earth were these microloans and emotional counseling?

Little Rich Girl: "Hello little sister, from now on we and Sister Xue will be the Three Sisters of Daylight."

The Monopoly Man: "Hello, sister."

Watching Li Tongyun's actions, Qing Chen thought to himself, "The more you jump around now, the harder you'll get later."

In this group of people who live in the daytime, the only one whose identity is known to everyone is Liu Dezhu.

The rest are intricately intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

At this moment, the "boss" said in the group, "Introductions over, let's get down to business. Does anyone have anything to report today?"

Qing Chen created this group to discuss how Bai Zhou can make money in the future.

He knew that the economic base determines the superstructure, and if he was poor every day, it would be inconvenient to do many things.

However, as a boss, you can't just throw out the problem so directly. You have to guide the members to discuss it on their own. Otherwise, where is the boss's position?

At this moment, Liu Dezhu sent a message: "Boss, nothing unusual happened when I got home tonight, and I'm home now."

Boss: "Okay, be careful."

Little Rich Girl: "Boss, I brought back some gold bars. I'll find a chance to send them to you in the next couple of days."

This was Li Tongyun's little scheme; she was hinting to the other members that she knew the boss's true identity, which would give her a higher status in the group.

A Little Duck: "Boss, I'm free today."

Boss: "Okay."

After hesitating for a long time, Brave Bull Bull finally said in the group, "Boss, an uncle of mine who is a family friend has a favor to ask of me today. He is a big businessman in North China. When he passed through Los Angeles, a countdown appeared on his arm. It is predicted that he will become Time Walker after this time travel."

Liu Dezhu asked curiously, "Your uncle, a family friend? He must be quite old."

"Well, he's 42 years old this year, which surprised me a bit, because I always thought that Time Walker wouldn't appear over 35," said Brave Bull Bull.

"The patterns of time travel cannot be fully summarized yet. Furthermore, I've been searching for the reason behind his time travel," the boss asked. "Did he have any requests?"

Brave Bull Bull said, "Judging from the corresponding time travel location, he should also travel to City No. 18. So far, he doesn't know what his identity will be after he goes there, so he hopes you can provide him with some protection. At the same time, he hopes to buy gene serum to fulfill his superhero dream."

Brave Bull Bull: "This uncle is generous and willing to offer cash, and even some extra rewards in the form of goods. Boss, I didn't agree to this on my own; I just wanted to report it to you. Whether or not we do this business is entirely up to you."

Qing Chen's eyes lit up as he held his phone. Creating this group chat was indeed a wise decision; a way to make money had already been presented to him so soon after its creation.

Not Afraid of Difficulties, he said, "Boss, let me offer a couple of suggestions: This uncle has a mixture of curiosity and longing for the Inner World. He even tried to buy gene serum before, but without success. At their age, they have everything they need—money and power—what they lack most is novelty and excitement. Some people even gamble away tens of millions in a single night at casinos just to seek thrills. If we, Bai Zhou, can provide him with what he wants in the Inner World, then Bai Zhou will never lack money in the future."

Brave Bull Bull added, "Furthermore, if I can show him the wonders of the Inner World, he can become a role model for our organization. Recently, many people in their circle have been taking turns traveling in business vans to 19 'public testing cities' in China, hoping to see if they can become Time Walker. If similar individuals travel through time, we can make a lot of money from wealthy people."

Qing Chen pondered seriously that middle-aged tycoons who were already tired of the real world always liked to pursue a more exciting life.

Compared to young people's yearning for the Inner World, theirs is much stronger, especially after they learn that the Inner World has technology that can help them regain their youthful vitality.

That is the pleasure of transcending the order of life.

Qing Chen thought about it and realized that this kind of money was very easy to earn and could be earned. Moreover, it was most suitable for Liu Dezhu to do this.

Although the Inner World is dangerous, as long as that wealthy man doesn't do anything reckless, C-Class protection is enough to protect him.

However, the gene serum request made by that wealthy man was a bit difficult to fulfill, even though Li Changqing had prepared a set for Qing Chen.

The problem is that such power-enhancing items should ideally be prioritized for Bai Zhou's own protectors.

Although Qing Chen was short of money, he wouldn't let money cloud his judgment.

The boss said in the group chat, "We can do this business, but the price needs to be discussed. After all, not everyone is protected during the day."

Not Afraid of Difficulties, he said, "For the first crossing protection fee, he's willing to offer 1 million in cash, which will cover 7 days. If the first cooperation goes well, we can continue the trial. Boss, my idea is this: you can arrange for Heng Society's people to deliberately create some danger, so that he'll be willing to pay more next time."

Qing Chen:???

He knew what Zhang Tianzhen was up to. This guy was worried that his wealthy uncle had gone to the Inner World but hadn't encountered any danger, so he would stop cooperating with Bai Zhou from now on.

Therefore, Zhang Tianzhen simply devised a plan to create danger, forcing the other party to continue accepting protection.

The idea is correct, but is this really an uncle who's a family friend?!

Is it really okay to rip off my uncle, who is a family friend, like this?

Zhang Tianzhen and Hu Xiaoniu are friends, but their personalities are quite different – one is upright and the other is eccentric.

If Hu Xiaoniu is a potential leader of the righteous path, then Zhang Tianzhen is more like a cunning strategist or government advisor hiding behind the scenes.

After careful consideration, Qing Chen replied, "While we, Bai Zhou, are willing to make money, we can't make this kind of money yet. It's alright; if he doesn't intend to continue the cooperation after we transmigrate, we won't force him. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way."

"Sorry, boss, I misunderstood," Zhang Tianzhen replied.

"It's alright. The Daylight Organization needs your kind of strategy, and we might need it in the future," Qing Chen reassured them. "Feel free to bring up similar ideas in the future. Let's brainstorm and think outside the box."

"Understood!" Zhang Tianzhen exclaimed excitedly, feeling that she finally had a chance to prove herself.

Qing Chen instructed Liu Dezhu: "Give your contact information from the Inner World to Brave Bull Bull, so that this wealthy man can contact you as soon as he travels through time. This matter is entrusted to you."

"Okay, boss!" Liu Dezhu readily agreed.

At this moment, Hu Xiaoniu asked in the group, "Boss, I want to learn how to kill enemies from 'Ice Eye', is that okay?"

"Okay," Qing Chen replied, "Not only will you be learning, but Liu Dezhu, Not Afraid of Difficulties, and A Little Duck will also be learning with Ice Eye. Liu Dezhu, although you have strength, you still lack a lot in terms of combat skills. So starting today, after school, you will all gather at Ice Eye's place to systematically learn combat skills. In the future, I will arrange for you to learn firearms in the Inner World."

"Thank you, boss!" Hu Xiaoniu finally got what he wanted.

Qing Chen, acting as the boss, asked, "Ice Eye, are there any problems on your end?"

Then, using the ID "Ice Eye," he replied in the group, "No problem, I'll follow the boss's instructions."

Boss: "You not only need to teach them how to kill enemies, but also supervise their daily training. If anyone doesn't listen to you, tell me."

Ice Eye: "Understood."

Boss: "Brave Bull Bull, you find a training venue, preferably close to the school. I'm giving you a heads-up: if anyone doesn't cooperate with Ice Eye's training plan, they'll have to leave Daylight. We're going to face more dangers in the future, and Daylight doesn't want cowards or slackers."

Brave Bull Bull: "Received."

Not Afraid of Difficulties: "Received."

Liu Dezhu: "Received."

A Little Duck: "Received."

Monopoly: "I'd like to participate too."

Boss: "You are not allowed to participate."

Qing Chen said into his phone, "What are you doing here? It's like you think you can participate."

One person sighed, "It's really a pity. There's something I need to tell you. Two people in the group have already messaged me privately asking about their fees for relationship counseling. They seem quite troubled. I think I could start a side business with that."

"You can cheat people out of money, but can you please stop cheating people within your own organization?" Qing Chen raised an eyebrow.

"How is that a lie? I took an online psychology course at Qinghe University. It's a professional course, and I even have an online correspondence diploma," Yi said.

"You really do dabble in everything..." Qing Chen asked curiously, "Who's consulting you?"

"It's confidential for now," Yi said righteously. "How could I reveal a client's information? That would be extremely unprofessional!"

"Alright, I have a question. How much does a Sequence 005 gene serum cost in the Black Market of the Inner World?" Qing Chen asked.

"4.8 million," one person replied, "If you wait in the black market to buy it, you can usually get one in a week, but you have to be careful not to get ripped off."

"I understand, we can double-cross each other," Qing Chen nodded.

"You seem to focus on things differently from everyone else! Am I suggesting you double-cross someone? By the way, why are you having these ordinary people train in martial arts with you?" Yi asked curiously.

"Keep it a secret for now," Qing Chen began to use their own methods against them.

Qing Chen has already begun preparing for Bai Zhou's future strength enhancement.

With your current physical condition, it's impossible to complete all eight challenges.

Moreover, this training process is also a process of selecting "knights". Those who are not determined should be injected with gene serum as soon as possible to save time and life.

It's important to know that none of the eight Life and Death Trial can be addressed with protective measures.

At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly felt that playing two roles was quite interesting...

There's a 5,000-word chapter, and another 5,000-word chapter tonight, but it'll probably be a bit later.

Many thanks to Yidiudiu and Kunpengxiaguodunbuxia for becoming new allies of this book. You are all very generous and lovable!

Thanks to the Didi driver for becoming a Gold Alliance member of this book. There will be a 10,000-word update today, which counts as an extra chapter. I'll finish up the rest in August after I'm done with this month's work!
