Bustling with Activity

"Are they really students from Luocheng Foreign Language School?" Sun Chuci muttered.

Although they did not see Bai Zhou and Qing Chen, they still went to pay their respects to the place where Bai Zhou rose to prominence, led by Nangong Yuanyu, Qi Duo, and Zhang Lanjin.

Qing Chen asked in confusion, "Aren't you Time Walker from Zhengcheng? Why are you going to Luocheng Foreign Language School?"

Tuanzi explained enthusiastically, "Don't you know? That's where daylight is created."

Qing Chen was stunned.

What the heck is this about visiting the place where daylight was founded...?

Qing Chen listened to the other person's words as if he had blessed Luocheng Foreign Language School...

"By the way, are you also going to the Time Walker' Association?" Tuanzi asked curiously, "What do you do in the Inner World?"

"I joined a small club in City No. 18 of the Inner World," Qing Chen explained.

Sun Chuci asked, "I heard that the major gangs in City No. 18 have all been wiped out by the Heng Society, leaving only some small gangs. But you're in Luo City, so close to Bai Zhou, why don't you go and get to know them? Maybe you'll have a chance to join the Heng Society directly."

"I just haven't had the chance to meet those important people," Qing Chen said with a smile. "Why don't you guys help me recommend someone? Aren't you all very close to Qing Chen?"

Tuanzi was initially boasting, but now she was in a dilemma. Sun Chuci said, "We need to ask Qing Chen beforehand. After all, even if we're making a recommendation, we should first ask for his opinion."

"Alright, I'll wait for your news," Qing Chen said with a smile. "By the way, what do you do in the Inner World...?"

Sun Chuci pondered for two seconds. Their identities weren't exactly a secret. "We are wilderness hunters."

Qing Chen exclaimed, "The Wilderness Hunter, huh? He must be incredibly skilled!"

Tuanzi said, "Of course! We were ambushed by the Wilderness People before, but they didn't expect us to be so strong, so they all turned the tables and killed us!"

It seems that Tuanzi was waiting to kill Qing Chen Society during her next time travel, but now it's hard to say who will die.

As long as Qing Chen quickly puts on a new disguise, he won't be the one who gets killed!

Seeing that the groundwork had been laid, Qing Chen stopped trying to create more trouble for Tuanzi and the others.

He looked at his phone, preparing to check the movements of the various Time Walker organizations before arriving in Zhengcheng.

But then Tuanzi whispered to Sun Chuci, "What should we do? They asked us to recommend them to Qing Chen, but we can't even talk to Qing Chen yet."

Sun Chuci replied helplessly, "Since you knew this would happen, don't brag next time..."

"Isn't that what happened?" Tuanzi muttered to herself.

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Qing Chen, afraid that she had given herself away.

At this moment, Tuanzi said to Sun Chuci with concern, "My friend told me that Dragon Lake Commune has now told all Time Walker in Zhengcheng that no Time Walker is allowed to help us, whether it is the Outer World or the Inner World... After we return to Zhengcheng this time, we are afraid that we will not have a good time. If we want to participate in the Federation, we will have to face Dragon Lake Commune again."

Sun Chuci shook his head. "It's alright, let's avoid them for now. Before we latch onto Qing Chen's coattails, let's avoid them."

Qing Chen: "..."

To be fair, Sun Chuci's abilities are absolutely outstanding among the Time Walker. He single-handedly led six junior students to fight their way up in the Inner World, rising from the lowest level to owning a car and a gun. Most Time Walker couldn't do that.

Qing Chen was originally thinking about how to win over these people, but he didn't expect that they had already made up their minds to cling to his coattails.

Then he can just wait...

Qing Chen watched the news and learned that Time Walker had arrived in Zhengcheng in the past two days.

Surprisingly, before the Time Walker' Alliance even started, the Time Walker's outfits were already making the news.

Although Kunlun doesn't allow media reporters to approach the international conference center or the hotel where the Time Walker are staying, they can wait outside.

According to reporters, the first Time Walker to arrive at the meeting was Spider-Man.

Second place goes to Deadpool.

The third place goes to Thanos.

Later on, some people dressed up as Batman, and others dressed up as Batman's parents.

Later, the Time Walker saw the news and followed suit, none of them dressed normally.

What should have been a Time Walker conference was turned into a cosplay convention.

Many cosplay enthusiasts flocked to the scene, praising its professionalism.

The area outside the conference center was completely blocked.

Some people even dressed up as Digimon, slimes, Pikachu, etc.

Lu Yuan was amazed by the scene from the top of the conference center. Kunlun had only suggested that everyone dress up so that they wouldn't be recognized, but at least they should look like normal people.

In this situation, those Time Walker who only wore masks and hats seemed particularly out of place.

However, the media believes that these Time Walker with principles are usually the real big shots.

After all, big shots wouldn't stoop to wearing a little dinosaur costume.

It's even less likely that he would dress up as a slime.

At 11 a. m., the Matrix Organization arrived in Zhengcheng. A total of 21 people from the organization attended the meeting, all of whom were dressed in suits and wearing pure white masks.

Hongye's approach was simpler; they drove five Alphard minivans directly from Jingcheng, followed by a motorhome over three meters tall.

After communicating with Kunlun, they actually drove their car into the conference center.

No one got off the bus.

These are all legitimate and powerful Time Walker organizations, a stark contrast to those Time Walker just come for fun.

"By the way, why didn't I hear that Bai Zhou went to the Federation?" Tuanzi asked in confusion. "Hongye and Matrix have already arrived, but where is Bai Zhou? Isn't Bai Zhou closer to Zheng City?"

"Don't they plan to participate? Or did Kunlun not invite them?" one of his companions said.

"No, given Bai Zhou's influence in the Inner World, how could Kunlun not invite them?" Sun Chuci said. "Bai Zhou has always been low-key. Matrix and Red Leaf have already publicly announced their establishment, and Bai Zhou only gradually became known to a few people after participating in quite a few things. I dare say that even now, more than half of the Time Walker in the country haven't heard of Bai Zhou. It's only because Zhengcheng and Luocheng are close by that they know about it. They should have arrived already, but they just didn't put on airs like Matrix and Red Leaf."

"Time Walker organization arrived?" Tuanzi, flipping through the news.

Sun Chuci said, "The 'Red Umbrella' organization in Kuncheng, the 'Pao Ge' in Chongcheng, the 'Dragon Lake Commune' in Zhengcheng, and the 'Sanjiangkou' in Wucheng have all arrived."

"It's said that the 'Red Umbrella' organization brought a lot of local mushrooms from Kuncheng to give to other Time Walker as a gift," Tuanzi said. "Someone in He Xiaoxiao's group said that some Time Walker had the hotel kitchen cook them and then used them to beat villains in the hotel lobby."

This has become a laughing stock.

Another Time Walker was shivering in the hotel restaurant. When someone asked him what was wrong, he said there was a dragon on the ceiling.

Qing Chen thought to himself, "This 'Red Umbrella' organization must be doing this on purpose..."

Can you just give away mushrooms like that? If the mushrooms in Kuncheng aren't cooked properly, they can have a strong hallucinogenic effect. I'm afraid the Time Walker.

These people aren't here to attend a conference; they're clearly here to poison people...

The Time Walker did not become Time Walker voluntarily; most of them woke up one morning to find a countdown inexplicably appearing on their arms.

So when Kunlun gathered everyone together, all sorts of strange things happened.

When the train arrived at the station, everyone packed their things and got off the train, but Qing Chen walked out alone with only a small bag on his back.

When he arrived at the exit, he suddenly saw Ni Ergou, who looked haggard, standing at the exit with a smile, holding a sign with the two big characters "Qing Chen" written on it.

Below the large character are two smaller characters: Kunlun.

When this intelligence chief smiled, the wrinkles on his face resembled a blooming chrysanthemum.

Ni Ergou was not young, and he wore a pair of old black cloth shoes, making him look exceptionally simple.

Qing Chen pretended not to see him and continued walking out.

He thought to himself, "Damn it, Kunlun found out about my travel information. After learning that my train was coming to Zhengzhou, they actually sent Ni Ergou, the intelligence chief, to pick me up at the station!"

Could it be that I've been put on Kunlun's watch list? Whenever I leave Los Angeles by transportation, the system automatically alerts Kunlun?

What does this mean?

At this moment, Sun Chuci and the others followed him out. They were stunned when they saw the sign Ni Ergou was holding. "Wait, was Qing Chen on the same bus we were just on?"

"There were so many people exiting the station, I didn't see him," Sun Chuci said, puzzled.

He couldn't help but step forward and ask Ni Ergou, "Hello, is the Qing Chen you picked up the same Qing Chen from during the day?"

Ni Ergou said with a smile, "Isn't that him?"

Tuanzi sighed, "Didn't everyone say that Kunlun wouldn't pick up Time Walker? I see everyone else went there on their own."

Everyone thought to themselves, "So Bai Zhou's status is so special that Kunlun even has to arrange for someone to pick him up from the station?"

Sun Chuci asked curiously, "Is this what VIP treatment is like?"

Ni Ergou said with a smile, "Yes, this is VIP treatment."

Sun Chuci and the others were astonished; they had no idea that Bai Zhou's status was so high!

Qing Chen felt something was off. He sent a message to Zheng Yuandong asking, "Did you guys mark my ID card? How come you know immediately just because I'm taking a train?"

Zheng Yuandong: "Yes."

Qing Chen was puzzled. "But you don't need to pick me up alone, do you? I noticed that no one picks up Time Walker. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make an exception for me?"

Zheng Yuandong: "You're overthinking it. I just want to bring you directly to the conference center so you won't cause trouble for other Time Walker in Zhengcheng."

Qing Chen: "???"

So that's what happened!

He thought that Kunlun wanted to express a friendly attitude because he had caused some trouble in Europe, so they improved his treatment.

So, it turns out it was to protect other Time Walker!?

Qing Chen: "That's going too far."

Zheng Yuandong: "Ask yourselves honestly, have we gone too far?"

Qing Chen pondered for a long time but did not refute.

Zheng Yuandong: "Come to the conference center right away, don't wander around."

Qing Chen: "I'm not in a hurry to go to the conference center. I'll go explore the city first."

While it was being published, it seemed that Zheng Yuandong had just informed Ni Ergou that Qing Chen had already left the station.

So much so that Ni Ergou was holding a sign and frantically searching for Qing Chen's figure at Zhengcheng West Station...

When Sun Chuci and the others saw this, they wondered if Qing Chen had really been in the same car as them just now.

They looked at each other, but they really didn't see it!

Wait, the person they were just chatting with...

Sun Chuci fell into deep thought.

Qing Chen walked out of the station, intending to find a hotel to stay in first and see if Liu Dezhu and his group had found out anything.

Liu Dezhu and Nan Gengchen's group, and Luo Wanyai's group, set off 3 hours earlier than him, and should have arrived at Zhengzhou International Conference Center by now.

Just then, a young man saw Qing Chen and suddenly froze. "What are you doing here?"

Qing Chen smiled.

Because he is now Qing Yuan.

It seems that he has finally found a clue related to Qing Yuan.

This time, the Time Walker Association occupied the Zhengzhou International Convention Center and five surrounding hotels.

However, everyone also noticed a problem: all the well-known organizations, such as Matrix, Red Leaf, Pao Ge, Red Umbrella, and Sanjiangkou, were arranged to stay at the nearby JW Marriott Hotel.

Some speculate that all important Time Walker might stay in the same place.

The remaining Time Walker was not of great importance, were scattered across the other four hotels.

Just then, a small green dinosaur walked into the Marriott Hotel with a mobile phone in hand. He went to the front desk and showed the QR code.

The staff member looked at the QR code with a bewildered expression, then at the little dinosaur. "Hello, who are you...?"

A muffled voice came from inside the little dinosaur. "Zard, Z, A, R, D."

The staff member gave a polite yet slightly awkward smile, "Okay, here's your room key. Your room is 1524."

Zard, inside the little dinosaur, asked, "Could you help me check if someone named Qing Chen has checked in? Or which room is the ID 'Ice Eye' staying in?"

The staff member politely said, "I'm sorry, little dinosaur... Mr. Zard, we cannot disclose guest information."

As the staff member spoke, he looked to the side, where dozens of Kunlun members were maintaining order in the hotel lobby, and further away, medical personnel were giving Time Walker, who had accidentally eaten mushrooms, an IV drip on the spot.

Zard smiled and said to the staff, "Thank you! Have a great day!"

After saying that, she skipped and hopped upstairs.

Once inside the room, Zard didn't take off his dinosaur costume. He picked up his phone and dialed, "Hey, boss, have you arrived yet?"

"Arrive."

"Are you the older brother or the younger brother now?"

"Younger brother."

"That's great! Before your brother comes back, let's go out and have some fun with the Time Walker! I think it'll be really interesting. We can pretend to be nobody and ask them for autographs, just watching them show off!" Zard said excitedly.

The voice on the other end of the phone turned cold. "Okay."

Zard continued, "Boss, which hotel are you at? I'll go find you..."

His voice trailed off as he realized it was that older brother...

Huan Yu asked calmly, "Is this how you fooled him when I wasn't around?"

Zard: "... Does the boss have so many tricks up his sleeve these days?"

Huan Yu said coldly, "If you try to trick him into going out and leaking information again, I'll smash your head in."

Zard: "Oh..."

Just then, someone sent a message in He Xiaoxiao's group chat.

Liu Dezhu: "Huan Yu, did you come to the Time Walker Association this time? Don't let me find you, hehe."

With a pale face Huan Yu had just taken off her mask and was standing in front of the window of her Hilton Hotel room when she suddenly felt a little nauseous. She even wanted to see when the next flight back home was.

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
