Inside the venue.

There are low-quality versions of Spider-Man, chubby versions of Wonder Woman, slimes, and Pikachu the dinosaur.

Yang Yang appeared dressed as a Sailor Moon character, as if she were delivering a devastating blow.

It's like the Seven Hundred Dwarfs and Snow White.

It was too tragic.

Someone glanced at Yang Yang and asked the person next to them, "Who is that girl? I've never heard of her before?"

"The person who looked after the matrix greeted her; they're probably from Haicheng."

At this moment, a Pikachu said to the little green dinosaur next to it, "This girl is suspected to be B-Class. I've collected information about her, especially from the Inner World. She should be a rare force field Awakened. If you encounter Bai Zhou again in the future, be careful of her."

The little dinosaur beside him... tilted its head and looked at Pikachu with a bewildered expression.

Pikachu continued, "By the way, there are only 5 days left until we travel through time. When you go to the Inner World next time..."

As he was speaking, a voice suddenly came from the other side. "Boss, boss, over here, I'm over here..."

Pikachu slowly turned around and looked at the slime next to it...

Huan Yu raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you wearing a little dinosaur costume? Why are you dressed as a slime now?!"

Zard said, "I think the slime looks better and matches my personality better, so I swapped with someone else."

Huan Yu: "???"

He glanced at the slime in front of him, then at the two slimes on the other side of Daylight: "Are you planning to join Daylight?"

"No, no," Zard said, "Although my heart has gone to Bai Zhou, you must believe me, my body will always be with you. When he finds you and you become his person, I'll go with you as part of your dowry."

Huan Yu: "..."

I'm so annoyed.

Meanwhile, those on the Matrix's side, seeing Yang Yang standing next to Qing Chen, whispered among themselves, "Could she be on her honeymoon with that boy?!"

Chen Sui looked at the members beside her and said, "That was obviously a joke. She's not even of legal marriage age yet, how can she go on a honeymoon?"

The matrix members fell silent.

Yang Yang whispered to Qing Chen with a smile, "How was it? Did you embarrass Bai Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Chen turned to look at the two slimes beside him...

"You've restored the dignity of the daytime," the boy sighed.

The two slimes curled up together in shame.

"By the way, I just arrived in Zhengzhou this morning, but I saw someone in the group talking about the battle last night. What happened?" Yang Yang asked in a low voice.

"It's alright. I've encountered a very clever and cautious opponent. I'm trying to find him, but his abilities are too strange and difficult to catch," Qing Chen replied.

Qing Yuan's ability is to turn others into his puppets.

With this ability, he could have his puppet do whatever he wanted.

No wonder all the Shadow Candidate and Kite Falcon couldn't find him; he simply didn't need to show his face himself.

Qing Wu, Qing Xing, Qing Yuan.

The Shadow Struggle has reached its third round, and sure enough, all the troublesome figures have appeared.

Before Qing Chen could even figure out what the Forbidden Item of his Qing Xing was, another dangerous figure, Qing Yuan, appeared.

If he had been even slightly greedy and tried to arrest the driver last night, he probably wouldn't be standing here now.

However, Qing Yuan underestimated him.

Instead of splitting up, the three assassins suddenly met up again on the side of the road and waited for a car. Anyone with a brain would know that something was wrong.

If the other party's organization is truly so careless, then Qing Chen is not worried at all.

Qing Chen glanced at the matrix and asked Yang Yang, "I saw someone greet you just now, why didn't you go over?"

Yang Yang tilted her head and looked at him. "We're not familiar."

However, as they were talking, Chen Sui walked over with the matrix members. He looked at Yang Yang and smiled, "Long time no see."

Yang Yang looked at him. "... Who are you? Oh no, you're wearing a mask, I really can't recognize you just by your voice."

Qing Chen thought to himself, "This girl is quite good at pretending. Does she even need to look at someone's appearance? Her perception field can remember a person's features, and no matter how she disguises herself, she can't hide it."

Etc.

This ability seems to be very useful.

Qing Chen fell into deep thought.

Beside her, Chen Sui was still introducing herself to Yang Yang, not even bothering to hide her identity anymore. "I'm Chen Sui from Matrix. We met once before in Haicheng. It was at Li Ling's birthday party. You came to give her a gift and then left. I was standing next to the cake. Later, I asked Li Ling for your WeChat, but you didn't add me..."

The two slimes looked at each other and thought to themselves, "This guy remembers the scene so clearly back then, he probably fell in love with Yang Yang at first sight, right?"

Is this what they mean by a scene that haunts your dreams?

Yang Yang nodded. "Oh... I don't remember."

One of the girls in the matrix looked at Yang Yang and asked with a smile, "Is the person next to you... the boss of the Daylight Organization?"

Yang Yang laughed and said, "No, the boss is very mysterious. I've never even met him."

"And who is this person next to you?" the girl asked curiously.

Yang Yang glanced at Qing Chen, who was deep in thought, and then said to the girl, "This is our second boss. He's the one in charge when the boss isn't around."

"Huh, what about you?" The girl was puzzled. Did a master like Yang Yang need to listen to others?

Yang Yang replied with a smile, "I'm just a daytime worker. I do whatever the boss tells me to do."

Chen Sui suddenly said, "Miss Yang Yang, you're from Haicheng, and Matrix is a local Time Walker organization from Haicheng. I think you could come and visit Matrix's headquarters sometime; perhaps it's more suitable for you here. Besides, you know how fast we're developing..."

Qing Chen's thoughts finally returned to the venue. He looked at Chen Sui and thought, "How can there be someone trying to poach my partner right in front of me?"

It's true that Yang Yang is a highly sought-after B-Class expert, but even if you're trying to poach her, you should at least do it behind her back, right?

Just as Qing Chen was about to say something, he heard Yang Yang laugh and say, "No need, I think Baizhou is great. The people here speak so nicely, and everyone is so talented. I love it here."

Chen Sui thought to himself... Talented?

He glanced at the two slimes beside him... Are these really geniuses?

Qing Chen glanced at Yang Yang.

The truth is that this girl has always been on the edge of daylight. She tells outsiders that she is daylight, but she has very clear goals.

That goal, however, is not the same as daytime.

Therefore, Qing Chen himself did not really regard Yang Yang as a member of Daylight. He knew that the things they had to do could not be tied together.

However, being friends is about finding common ground while respecting differences.

Chen Sui looked at Qing Chen and asked Yang Yang, "This guy hasn't said a word for so long, he seems to have a bad temper?"

Qing Chen was taken aback. Why was tea being served now?

But then Yang Yang said seriously to Chen Sui, "You mustn't say that, or he might twist your head off if he gets angry."

Qing Chen: "..."

Chen Sui: "..."

Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen with great joy. "Smile, it's so much fun!"

Chen Sui felt awkward watching Yang Yang and Qing Chen laughing and joking around, treating him like an "outsider".

This was the first time he had encountered a major setback in interpersonal relationships since founding Matrix.

At this moment, Kunlun Lu Yuan entered the venue first, and he led his men to distribute materials to all the Time Walker.

Chen Sui breathed a sigh of relief. If the Kunlun people hadn't arrived soon, he wouldn't have been able to hold back.

Watching Chen Sui and the Matrix members leave, Yang Yang smiled and said to Qing Chen, "Am I so devoted to Bai Zhou that it touched you a little?"

Qing Chen glanced at Yang Yang: "I've already had Luo Wanyai take control of the Parent's Association. Next time you travel through time, he'll bring some learning materials to help you with some work to enlighten the public. However, the Inner World conglomerate's policy of keeping the people ignorant has been too successful; this kind of thing needs to be done slowly."

Yang Yang's eyes lit up, and she said very earnestly, "Thank you!"

Lu Yuan over; he wanted to personally distribute the materials from Bai Zhou's side.

Qing Chen took the materials from Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan suddenly grabbed a corner of the materials and whispered to Qing Chen, "Don't cause any more trouble! Kunlun finally managed to establish the Time Walker Association, don't ruin it for us!"

"What are you saying? What does it have to do with me?" Qing Chen pretended to be stupid.

Lu Yuan didn't pursue the matter any further. "This time, Bai Zhou needs to send one person to be a director. You can decide for yourself who to choose."

"We won't participate during the day," Qing Chen said.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Do you really think everything you've done in China is reasonable and legal? With great power comes great responsibility. Stop trying to fool us. Now that you have someone on the board, you'll have help when you go to Europe or North America to cause trouble. At least you'll have a semi-official status. Jiuzhou will definitely try to bring you home."

Yang Yang, standing to the side, was amused. While the other organizations were discussing how to compete for the council seats, Kunlun was actually resorting to coercion and bribery in order to get someone from Baizhou to become a council member.

Everyone knows that once you become chairman, vice chairman, or director, no matter how much Kunlun emphasizes that those with positions should serve the public, status is status.

Therefore, many organizations are determined to seize it.

Yang Yang smiled at Qing Chen and said, "Do you want to live a carefree life forever? Kunlun will never let you go."

Lu Yuan objected. "Young lady, don't say that. It's clearly a good thing."

Qing Chen thought for a moment, "Isn't this a secret ballot? Can Kunlun just choose whoever they want?"

Lu Yuan said, "You don't need to worry about that. There are a total of 7 directors. First, we'll elect 9, then all the candidates will go on stage to campaign, and then we'll have a second round of voting."

Qing Chen said, "Yang Yang from Baizhou can become a director of the Federation, but there is one condition: can you also select Qing Yuan from the Bright Commune as one of the nine candidates?"

Yang Yang: "..."

Lu Yuan paused for a moment. "I need to discuss this with the boss, but I'm warning you, no more fighting is allowed during the Federation's term."

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
