For Luo Wanyai, his trip to Zhengcheng wasn't for a meeting, nor did he care what Kunlun was trying to say, and he had no interest in participating in the cosplay organized by the Time Walker.

He came to Zhengzhou to cooperate with his boss and complete the task.

Monitoring an organization here, especially with Shadow Candidate mixed in, could very well expose Luo Wanyai and put him in danger.

But that doesn't matter.

Most importantly, find Qing Yuan from the matrix.

However, after observing silently for a long time, Luo Wanyai suddenly realized that this prestigious organization did not seem to have a tight organizational structure. It was more like a senior student club at a foreign university, which was capable and ambitious, but ultimately just young people.

He was worried that he would be discovered, but he wasn't.

Luo Wanyai suddenly thought of a problem: these matrix members were older than their boss, and by comparison, his boss didn't seem like a normal student at all.

It was evening.

He compiled the information and sent it to Qing Chen: "Boss, a total of four people left the Matrix team. Two of them returned to the Matrix team and seemed to know all the Matrix members. The other two left and never came back... One went back to his hotel room and stayed in room 1324 of the JW Marriott. The other left the conference center and went to a foot massage parlor. He left two hours later and spent 888."

Qing Chen: "Very good, continue."

The information Luo Wanyai provided was already very detailed. Even a proper investigator might not be able to produce a detailed report so quickly in the midst of a chaotic crowd.

In particular, this guy even knew how much the other party spent at the foot massage center.

888 yuan...?

Qing Chen was a little confused. "Does a foot massage really cost this much?"

This involves his blind spots in knowledge.

Currently, he cannot determine which one is Qing Yuan based on these facts, and it is also possible that neither of them is the one.

But as long as Luo Wanyai keeps observing, he will always be able to find clues.

This time, Luo Wanyai did not come alone. Although his other family members could not enter the conference center, they could wait outside and follow those who walked out of the conference center at any time.

All 12 family members are cultivators at least at the E-Class.

At this moment, the Matrix members stared at the two escaped slimes, remaining silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.

"Liu Dezhu? Are those two really members of the Daytime faction?" a female student asked curiously in the matrix.

A young man frowned and said, "I'm not sure if it is. It's very likely that someone is impersonating someone else. After all, no one can see what someone looks like under the slime costume. It's normal for someone to deliberately smear the day and night."

He is the boss of Matrix, named Chen Sui, and he led the team to the conference center this time.

Chen Sui knew some things about Daylight, mainly about Yang Yang in Haicheng. He had invited Yang Yang to join the Matrix, but Yang Yang refused, saying she had already joined Daylight...

From that moment on, Chen Sui kept a close eye on Bai Zhou, wanting to know what kind of organization could attract Yang Yang to join.

Yang Yang never made a move in Haicheng, but many people knew that she could fly.

There's a pattern among Awakened: there aren't many Awakened who can fly, and those Awakened can fly are always among the most powerful small group.

Moreover, it is said that Yang Yang's strength has reached C-Class.

It would be such a waste not to include someone like that in the Matrix.

Oh, and there's also Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen.

These two kept a low profile in Los Angeles, but many students in Haicheng knew that they were top-tier rich kids and were rumored to have joined Daylight.

Three striking students from the coastal city joined the daytime.

Therefore, Bai Zhou's reputation in Haicheng is actually no less than that in Zhengcheng.

This is something Qing Chen probably didn't expect.

"By the way, where's Yang Yang? I heard she was going to join the federation, but I haven't seen her," someone said.

"Oh, I heard from her best friend that she just came back from her honeymoon in Europe and will rest for two days before coming over," said one of the girls in the matrix.

Everyone silently glanced at the girl. "Honeymoon?!"

What the heck!

We're all students, so why are some of us already on our honeymoons?!

And with whom?!

The matrix members were full of questions. The girl said, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know what's going on either. Her best friend really said that."

Yang Yang probably didn't realize how much confusion her casual driving caused her classmates.

Single people have been hit with a critical strike of 100,000 points.

Their health bar was only 2,000 to begin with, and after the critical hit of 100,000 points, they still owed Yang Yang 98,000 health.

Chen Sui thought for a moment and said, "At this joint meeting, everyone should also pay attention to where the Daytime members are. Observe them."

"Who is Bai Zhou's boss?" A member of the Matrix wondered, "Could Yangyang have gone on honeymoon with Bai Zhou's boss?"

Chen Sui said, "The media thinks that some important figures in Time Walker, out of pride, would never dress up in strange ways. But I think those strong people don't care too much about so-called pride and shame. Maybe someone is hiding inside a Pikachu. Boss Bai Zhou may have already arrived, but we just can't find him."

"Boss, where are you? Are you at the conference center? I don't see you. What kind of costume are you wearing?" A small green dinosaur walked by, shaking its head.

Zard, wearing Bluetooth headphones inside the little dinosaur, looked around with his eyes scanning the surroundings.

He was originally going to keep an eye on Liu Dezhu Nan Gengchen, but those two were chased away by the matrix, and he lost his target.

So Zard simply started looking for his own boss.

Through the Bluetooth headset, Huan Yu said coldly, "If you have so much free time, you might as well go back to your hotel room and cultivate for a while, so you can put it to good use sooner."

Zard said nonchalantly, "Cultivation is something that can't be rushed, and it won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

At that moment, a yellow Pikachu stood still somewhere in the conference center, staring intently at the opposite side...

A Time Walker wearing a red hat and holding a Poké Ball was also staring straight at him.

At one point, Huan Yu felt that this guy wanted to use a Poké Ball to trap her inside.

Why would anyone cosplay this character? Just because there are dozens of Pikachu in the conference center?!

Huan Yu looked at the Time Walker opposite her and calmly said, "Don't you know Pikachu doesn't like staying inside a Poké Ball?"

Zard burst into laughter through the Bluetooth headset. "Boss, how do you know so much?! What do you usually watch at home?! Your brother probably hasn't even watched a complete Pokémon game!"

Huan Yu was stunned; he had forgotten that the Bluetooth headset connection was still active...

In that instant, he suddenly had the urge to kill.

What kind of ridiculous joint meeting is this? Why isn't it a proper meeting, instead of creating all this mess?!

I'm a proper villain, so why would I attend this kind of meeting?

In a hot pot restaurant in Zhengzhou, eight members of the Sanjiangkou sat around a table. One of them stared blankly at the clear broth, wondering, "Can this hot pot even produce any flavor?"

The owner of the restaurant at Sanjiangkou chuckled, "This is a specialty of the North. They like to eat hot pot with mutton to warm themselves up in winter. After the water boils, you have to put the mutton in first. You can tell if the meat is good or not just by looking at the broth. Good meat will still have a clear broth after cooking, while bad meat will make the broth cloudy."

"Is that even a claim?"

"By the way, boss, should we get some uniforms too? Look how good Matrix's black uniforms are, and Red Leaf's navy blue ones are nice too," said a member of Sanjiangkou. "I didn't realize how many Time Walker there were until I got here. And after hearing about the deeds of other organizations, they're all so impressive. It seems like Sanjiangkou hasn't done anything groundbreaking yet."

The owner of Sanjiangkou looked embarrassed. "No rush. We're developing quietly now. Li Changqing has also left City No. 1. This is a good opportunity for us to develop."

The boss's name is Zhang Yuebo, a native of Wucheng. By chance, he became Time Walker. Because he was previously the captain of a well-known amateur football team in Wucheng, he was fair and capable, so he became the president of Sanjiangkou Association.

However, the Time Walker in Wucheng were severely suppressed.

The City No. 1, was thoroughly ravaged by Li Changqing of the Li family. For a long Time Walker were controlled by the Li family, and the rest could only live a miserable life.

So Time Walker, they always seem incredibly impressive, going to the most upscale restaurants.

As a result, when we came to Sanjiangkou to eat hot pot, we still couldn't get a private room.

At other Time Walker come to attend meetings, but they seem to be there to broaden their horizons.

Actually, Li Changqing wasn't targeting the Time Walker. She had suppressed all the forces in City No. 1 too much, and just happened to take care of the Time Walker as well.

One of the Sanjiangkou members asked curiously, "Boss, do you think the Time Walker controlled by the Li family might also join the Federation?"

"That's for sure," Zhang Yuebo said after thinking for a moment. "After all, they control too many Time Walker; you have no idea who's on their side. We still need to be wary of the capabilities of the Inner World Consortium. It's not just the Li family; I suspect they've sent people from the Kamishiro, Kashima, Chen, and Qing families as well. So everyone needs to be careful and avoid being targeted by the Li family. If there are any of Li Changqing's people here, we'll be in trouble."

As they were talking, the door of the hot pot restaurant was pushed open, and more than twenty people rushed in.

Zhang Yuebo said in a low voice, "I've met one of them, Li Yi from Dragon Lake Commune in Zhengcheng. I reckon these people are all Time Walker. It's said that Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune in Taicheng have merged."

Bright Commune was an organization to which Qing Yuan belonged. After Dragon Lake Commune was merged into it, it became a "gang".

Qing Chen walked in, seemingly oblivious to the people from the Sanjiangkou area. He said to the Dragon Lake Commune members behind him, "Please sit down, everyone. Since you've come from afar, let me treat you to a meal."

The members politely replied, "Thank you, Second Boss."

Sanjiangkou and the others lowered their heads to eat, but upon hearing this title, they immediately glanced at Qing Chen and thought to themselves, "So this is a big shot from Dragon Lake Commune."

At this moment, Li Yi whispered to Qing Chen, "Second Boss, what exactly are you planning to do with these people? The Third Boss just asked, and he still needs these people..."

Qing Chen glanced at Li Yi: "Li Yi, how long have you been a member of Dragon Lake Commune?"

Li Yi replied, "It's been more than two months in the Outer World..."

Qing Chen said, "Do you think you have a brighter future following Wang Zhenbei, or following me?"

Li Yi was suddenly taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course, it's more promising to follow you."

"So you know what to do now? Just listen to what Wang Zhenbei says; my business is the important thing," Qing Chen said. "I plan to assemble my own team. What do you think?"

Li Yi asked in confusion, "Why?"

Qing Chen said casually, "I think the Bright Commune only needs one boss."

Li Yi was shocked. "Isn't the big boss your father?!"

This is also one of the reasons why Li Yi fully cooperated with Qing Yuan. The Bright Commune was founded by Qing Yuan's father, so there was no power struggle within it. Qing Yuan would take over sooner or later.

Qing Yuan was an only child, so no one was competing with him for the position.

Therefore, Li Yi couldn't understand why Qing Yuan wanted to kick his father out of the game. He exclaimed inwardly, "Why is His Majesty rebelling?"

Doesn't the whole country belong to you?

On the other side, Qing Chen thought to himself, no wonder the Time Walker cooperated so well with Qing Yuan and Qing Yuan was not discovered by the Qing family. It turns out that his father also traveled through time.

Under normal circumstances, the probability of a father and son having the same name in the Inner World is extremely low. Names changed later in life do not count, so it is rare for a father and son to travel through the same world.

Not only did Qing Yuan's father transmigrate, but he also founded the Time Walker organization to wholeheartedly support him in becoming a shadow, and in the future, he would assist him in becoming the head of the Qing family.

Looking at it this way, Qing Yuan seems more like the protagonist template!

I bet even Qing Yuan himself feels like he's the protagonist of Time Walker, right?

This information was extremely important to Qing Chen.

Qing Chen patiently explained to Li Yi, "My father restricts me too much, and he's still in good health. I don't want to be a puppet."

In an instant, Li Yi imagined a grand drama of succession struggles and palace intrigue, and he felt an overwhelming sense of excitement.

However, he hesitated. He felt that it was really not a good idea to get involved in such a thing. He was afraid that he would die if he messed things up.

Moreover, he always felt that something was off...

At this moment, one of the members from Sanjiangkou got up to go to the toilet.

Qing Chen smiled at Li Yi and said, "It's okay. Take a moment to process what I just said. I'm going to the restroom."

He walked toward the toilet, where the member from Sanjiangkou had finished urinating and was washing his hands.

Qing Chen glanced at him and then went into the private room.

The members of Sanjiangkou originally intended to leave the restroom, but for some inexplicable reason, they stayed and tiptoed to the door of the private stall.

He heard Qing Yuan whispering on the phone inside, "I saw the people from Sanjiangkou. According to my estimation, they don't seem to have any top experts within their organization. Our Bright Commune is going to join forces with Shendai and Kashima to wipe out the Time Walker in one fell swoop. How about we start with Sanjiangkou?"

The members of Sanjiangkou changed their expressions drastically, and he hurriedly went out.

When Qing Chen came out of the restroom, the table at Sanjiangkou was already empty...

Li Yi had just finished cooking the mutton for Qing Chen, completely unaware of the impending disaster that Dragon Lake Commune and Bright Commune were about to face.
