The fake boss of Daylight: We don't protect just anyone. We can take on the business of middle-aged tycoon Zhang Chengze, or we can refuse.

The real daytime boss: How can we ensure customer satisfaction and stable contract renewals?

When Hu Xiaoniu mentioned this business opportunity, Qing Chen appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was very concerned.

First of all, 1 million is definitely not a small amount. If we get two or three more customers like this, it means that we can have two or three million in cash flow every week.

If we have five of these, their revenue generation capacity will surpass that of most listed companies...

Secondly, Qing Chen is not very clear about other cities, but as long as it is in City No. 18, what danger could the other party be in?

It's not that Qing Chen and his group are particularly powerful right now, but rather that he is currently personally involved in the two most dangerous events: the power transition within the Li family and the Shadow Struggle.

Even if Zhang Chengze is in danger after time travel, could it be more dangerous than these two things?

Moreover, Lin Xiaoxiao had given Qing Chen information on all the famous and important figures in City No. 18, and Zhang Chengze was not among them at all.

Therefore, even if the other party faces danger, it is highly likely that Qing Chen can handle it.

What's the difference between this and finding money on the street?!

At this moment, the countdown is 92:00:00.

Midnight.

Qing Chen was seriously considering how to improve the service level during the day.

He looked at Nan Gengchen and asked, "Should we buy a car in the Inner World? One of those minivans that are specially made for bosses, so that Liu Dezhu can take them around, just like a tour group, and Liu Dezhu can be their local tour guide."

Nan Gengchen thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, there's no need to buy a car. I can ask Li Yinuo to spare me one. It even has the Li family's auspicious cloud emblem on it. Li Yinuo knows I'm Time Walker, and other Time Walker also know I'm... Li Yinuo's boyfriend, so it doesn't matter if others find out."

Qing Chen's eyes lit up. Now he could even get a vehicle for free. "Moreover, the car has the auspicious cloud emblem, which ensures the safety of the client. Who in the entire City No. 18 would bother with the Li family? When the time comes, I'll take the client to the Lower 3 District for a stroll and let them see the hardships of the Inner World."

"Let's go to the central 3rd district and mainly check out the nightlife in the 4th district, including clubs, boxing rings, virtual life, and casinos."

"Finally, let's take a stroll through Upper District 3 and experience the joys of the wealthy in the Inner World. Other vehicles can't enter Upper District 3; they'll be subject to inspection by the Security Committee. But the Li family's vehicles certainly won't be. In the future, if any nouveau riche want to visit Upper District 3, the Li family's vehicles will be our unique advantage—no one else can do that!"

After this whole process, Zhang Chengze should be completely overwhelmed.

Especially the privilege of freely entering and exiting the Upper District 3 during the day...

Once the other party returns from the Inner World satisfied, and if any of their friends have also become Time Walker, introduce them all to Bai Zhou. At that time, will Bai Zhou still have to worry about not having money?

Nan Gengchen opened his mouth, thinking, "This tour guide group that travels across the world is too fierce!"

The problem is, isn't the Daylight organization just too down-to-earth?

Other organizations are all striving to grow stronger and gain a foothold in the Inner World: developing gene-based drugs, intelligence gathering, talent acquisition, power building, and mechanical limbs!

The daytime focus is on vigorously developing the service industry.

At this moment, Brave Bull Bull sent a message in the group chat. "Boss, I've given Liu Dezhu's contact information to Uncle Zhang Chengze. He's prepared 1 million yuan in cash and is asking when and how we can collect it?"

Boss: "From now on, all cash transactions will be handled by Liu Dezhu. After being deposited in the bank, it will be used as working capital for the organization."

Liu Dezhu, a C-Class, was able to protect himself properly after receiving the cash, but it would be quite unsafe for others to receive such a large sum of money.

A Little Duck: "... Cash Liu?"

Liu Dezhu: "..."

Qing Chen glanced at Nan Gengchen beside him, then continued speaking in the group as the boss, "Little Duck, you'll cooperate with Liu Dezhu on this matter and allocate vehicles from the Inner World for him."

"Okay, got it," A Little Duck replied honestly.

At this moment, Brave Bull Bull continued, "Recently, an uncle wanted to come to Los Angeles to try his luck. He seems to have bought information from the Time Walker. Someone saw him in the news in the Outer World and said that they met someone in City No. 18 who looked extremely similar to him. There might be a chance to travel through time."

Qing Chen sighed; in fact, he had always wanted to start another business.

For example, one could charge wealthy people a consultation fee, obtain their information and appearance in the Outer World, then return to the Inner World and ask Yi to help search for people who meet the time travel requirements, and finally pass the information to these wealthy people, telling them where they can travel.

Very few people can do this project; at least very few can compare information in the Inner World as easily as Yi.

However, he did not do so.

Because the birth of each Time Walker means that someone in the Outer World will disappear from that world, which is one of the most feared things by the natives of the Inner World, and it also violates Qing Chen's principles of being a human being.

Each of those consciousnesses erased by the rules represents a vibrant life; they may have been bad people in life, or they may have been good people.

If Qing Chen were to engage in this business, it would be tantamount to murder.

He could do business with Time Walker, but he was unwilling to actively create Time Walker.

The boss asked, "Niu Niu, what's your uncle's plan? What does he want with us?"

"Not Afraid of Difficulties," Zhang Tianzhen said, "This uncle once broke both legs in a car accident. He hopes to regain his legs after traveling back in time. If that's not possible, he'll get the best mechanical limbs."

Boss: "Let Qiu Xue handle this matter. She can take care of installing the mechanical limbs."

Qiu Xue: "Okay, boss. I have the best mechanical limbs available on the market."

The Little Rich Girl exclaimed, "Sister Qiu Xue is so amazing!"

Qiu Xue was a little embarrassed. "However, I still don't have any ideas about the Federation military's military-grade nanomechanical limbs."

Boss: "The best level for civilian use is enough. If it's installed too well, the driver can face danger on his own, and we won't make any money."

Not Afraid of Difficulties: "The boss is brilliant."

This line of thinking is exactly what Zhang Tianzhen likes; he prefers to engage in these kinds of underhanded tactics.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Qing Chen suddenly turned to look at the door. Who could be visiting so late at night?

Before he could make any preparations, the person outside the door, as if to An Xin him, took the initiative to introduce himself, "Kunlun, Zheng Yuandong."

Qing Chen went to open the door. "Please come in. I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"

Zheng Yuandong slowly walked into the house and politely asked, "Do you need to change your shoes?"

"No need, no need," Qing Chen said, "Please sit down."

This was the first time Qing Chen had seen the person in charge of Kunlun up close. He could see that the person's hands and legs, which were covered by his clothes, had mechanical limbs, and even half of his neck, which was exposed at the collar, was mechanical.

However, the mechanical limbs on the other party's body were unlike anything seen in the market of the Inner World. The metal seemed to be alive, as if it were breathing.

Compared to this Kunlun leader, Lian Jiang Xue's mechanical limbs seemed to be a level below.

Could this be the highest-level nanomechanical limb in the Federation Army?

Zheng Yuandong smiled when he saw his gaze, "This is what it's like to travel back in time. Many people envy it, but I wish I had never traveled back in time."

"Boss Zheng came late at night..." Qing Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Show some concern for the employees' well-being," Zheng Yuandong said with a half-smile. "Have you forgotten? You've joined Kunlun. By the way, hasn't Boss He come to check on the employees?"

"Ahem, sorry, I just remembered," Qing Chen said awkwardly.

He joined all organizations at the same time, while simultaneously rejecting all of them.

But it's still a bit awkward when the person in question comes knocking on your door.

Zheng Yuandong glanced at Nan Gengchen: "There are thousands of Time Walker in Luocheng, but the concentration in your building is still rare."

Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, Jiang Xue, Nan Gengchen, Qing Chen, and if we add the little-known Li Tongyun, that makes six.

Los Angeles has a population of 9 million, so a thousand people here wouldn't stand out, but having so many people gathered in one building would be quite conspicuous.

If we also include Yang Yang, who is out and hasn't returned, the number is even greater.

Therefore, this is also why Qing Chen wanted to change his residence; he did not want to be so high-profile during the day.

Zheng Yuandong said, "I won't sit down. I came here specifically to discuss something. I don't know your identity in the Inner World, whether you're a boxer or a member of the Li family's special operations team. It doesn't matter to Kunlun; you're all under Kunlun's protection. Since you have no intention of joining Kunlun, I won't force you. Here's my contact information. If you encounter difficulties in the Inner World and need help, you can contact me, Lu Yuan, or Ni Ergou. We will do our best to assist you."

Lu Yuan is the leader of the special operations team, while Ni Ergou is the leader of the Kunlun intelligence team. Kunlun's main combat force is concentrated in these two departments.

Qing Chen was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the other party to arrive late at night, not to interrogate him, nor to invite him to join Kunlun, but instead to offer help.

This is a message that conveys a friendly attitude.

It must be said that this approach is more appealing than those organizations that force people to join.

Qing Chen asked doubtfully, "Isn't Boss Zheng forcing us to join Kunlun?"

Zheng Yuandong shook his head. "In the Inner World, individual combat power has already exceeded imagination. If one day Time Walker really breaks through to B-Class, A-level, or even S-level, would they still be willing to be inferior to others? This is an inevitable law, and Kunlun cannot force it. I hope everyone will work hard for the same goal."

Qing Chen understood what the other party meant.

Even if the Time Walker, if he becomes an S-class demigod one day, can the organization still control him?

It's uncontrollable.

When this demigod remembers the things he was forced to do in the past, won't he turn around and resent the organization?

In the Inner World, various conglomerates have restrictions on the abilities of demigods, but not in the Outer World!

Qing Chen originally thought that Kunlun was too Buddhist, which was why he did not control all the Time Walker.

It now seems that Zheng Yuandong had foresight. The other party was well aware that once an individual's martial prowess became too great, they would inevitably break free from worldly constraints.

The other person has a longer-term vision than most people.

There will be another chapter tonight.
