Night’s Nomenclature
Chapter 36: A New Video

He Xiaoxiao's identity was still a mystery.

But Qing Chen was most curious about how he was able to do this.

He also wanted to know how to hide his identity like He Xiaoxiao, while still getting all this useful information about the Inner World. But right now, all he could do was ask Lu Guanyi.

Without a thought, Qing Chen opened TikTok and searched up He Xiaoxiao’s profile. He watched his new video.

It was still the same black background with white captions.

The voice of a young man said casually, "Because so many people have asked how to go to the Inner World in the comments, I've decided to make a video specifically to discuss the requirements for this game. ”

"People commonly refer to players of the game as transmigrators, but I prefer to call the people who have qualified for the game as time travelers. Because the time in the Outer World stops for you when you enter the Inner World. When you return, time in the Inner World will come to a halt for you. No, it comes to a halt for all the time travelers.

For now, the known time travelers are placed in the following 19 cities: Wu City, Jing City, Nan City, Luo City, Chuan City, Chong City, Sheng City, Kun City, Hai City, Ji City, Zheng City, Hang City, Fu City, Guang City, Lan City, Yan City, Hu City, Jing City, Tai City. 1You can completely ignore the names of these cities but do know that these are depictions of real-life cities, and the author just used the one character of the real city's name and added city(城) behind it. For example, Hai City is representing Shanghai, except with Shang dropped”

"Other than these cities, time travelers can also appear in various places around the country, but this is extremely uncommon. ”

"I personally recommend for those who are interested in getting qualified for the game to travel to one of the above mentioned 19 cities to increase the chances of becoming a time traveler. Although the chance is slim, it is still better than nothing. ”

"From what we know, the third round of transmigration will appear tonight. It's still unclear when the qualifications will expire, so take advantage of this while you can. ”

“Another thing, this game in the Inner World is extremely dangerous, so I advise all time travelers to form a suitable team to increase their chances of survival. ”

"As always, please comment what you wish to know the most about the Inner World down below, and I will try to respond as well as I can in future videos. ”

"Finally, do not reveal your identity to anyone in the Inner World. Let me say this again, DO NOT REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY TO ANYONE IN THE INNER WORLD! You will find yourself in a dangerous situation! ”

Then, the video ended.

The final warning was written in large, bolded red characters and was especially visible.

Qing Chen guessed that He Xiaoxiao had most likely already met transmigrators… or time travelers who had died as a result of their identity being revealed in the Inner World.

That must be why he made his last message so urgent.

This was almost inevitable because not all time travelers would be as smart as Qing Chen or He Xiaoxiao.

Qing Chen suddenly felt a sense of impending danger, because the problem with the boy, Liu Dezhu, still existed, and he might reveal the secrets about the Outer World.

What should he do?

This video was exactly how Qing Chen expected it to be.

Qing Chen knew that under such circumstances so many transmigrators… time travelers appeared, some would be discovered in the Inner World in a matter of time.

But, to his amazement, this uploader was still talking about it as if it were a game, using phrases that a gamer would use.

And He Xiaoxiao's entire audience was quickly swayed by this short video to begin heading towards these 19 cities!

It was quickly apparent that He Xiaoxiao, the most famous time traveler, would create big waves in the months that would follow.

Qing Chen opened the comments, and to his surprise, the most liked comment was "How to obtain a career path and skill from Prison 18."

Looks like people were still very interested in Prison 18.

The username of the commenter was a long string of numbers.

Qing Chen then went to this commenter's profile page and discovered that this person liked a couple of other videos about Luo City as well as a video of a sports game at Luo City Foreign Language School.

How? Could this possibly be Liu Dezhu!?

But the fact wasn't important whether this was Liu Dezhu or not, but to him, the devastating part was if He Xiaoxiao paid a visit to Prison 18 because of him

Probably not… since the only way to get in was to commit a heavy crime…

Surely He Xiaoxiao was smart enough to not make a move as dumb as that.

Qing Chen checked the rest of the comments.

Under the comments section, there were also many that wanted to see He Xiaoxiao's face and wanted to know what he does for a living in the Inner World.

There were even some that wanted to team up with He Xiaoxiao…

But… there was not a single reply from He Xiaoxiao in the comments.

On the lighter side of things, there were comments asking if He Xiaoxiao wanted any girlfriend.

There was even one asking if he needed a son…

Qing Chen frowned as he scrolled further through the comments.

But that could also show how eager people were about transmigrations.

Most people would not be able to migrate to another place because of their life, careers, or education. They would only watch and laugh at the latest Internet trends before closing TikTok and returning to the harsh reality of life.

Everyone still had to return to their ordinary lives.

But the country has more than a billion people, there would be at least a large group of people that would be willing to move for this opportunity.

Because becoming Extraordinary has long been a childhood ambition for many individuals.

Of course, this transmigration event bred a slew of con artists.

After that mysterious company started purchasing Inner World technology, many more of these companies popped up around the country selling anti-aging products; consider this: Emperor Qin couldn't even prolong his life by having three thousand children, and now people believe they can buy life with money…? 2It was said that the first Emperor of ancient China, Emperor Qin longed to live longer during his elderly years, and one of his ministers said that he could travel to the edge of the ocean and obtain the pills to extend life from a God. However, God would need 3000 children to be servants and tons of treasures. With that, the Emperor agreed, but the minister never returned. It is a popular belief that the minister, along with the 3000 children, landed on one of the islands that are now Japan and made himself the ruler of that land.

Just then, Nan Gengchen sent a WeChat to Qing Chen asking if he was interested in any anti-aging drugs. They were having a sale.

Qing Chen was bewildered, "How do you know it's not a scam? Also, Xu Fu is from the Outer World, what does he have to do with the Inner World? ”

Nan Gengchen answered, "The salesperson said that he was Xu Fu. ”

Qing Chen: "? ? ? ”

He felt like he was going to faint.

What in the world is he on about? Xu Fu transmigrated along with the children?

Nan Gengchen continued to send him WeChat messages, "He said that he didn't land in the island nation3Japan back then. He transmigrated! ”

"Do whatever you want, I’m too tired to think," Qing Chen sent his message and closed his phone.

Honestly, he wasn't sure if Nan Gengchen was just pretending to be stupid or if he was truly an idiot.

Countdown: 13:08:19.

Qing Chen bought the groceries and returned to his apartment building, noting that the black SUV already left.

He started cooking a meal for Jiang Xue and Li Tongyun.

Seeing how Li Tongyun was feeding her mother, he was a little jealous of their close relationship.

Jiang Xu, who used to be weak and shy, had become strong and confident in order to protect her daughter.

To make things easier for her mother, Li Tongyun also became more obedient.

He believed that after they transmigrated again, Li Tongyun would probably give her mom the best mechanical limbs she could find. Ones that could last for a long time without charging.

Qing Chen, however, only had himself.

If Qing Chen would have to choose between the Inner World and the Outer World right now…

He would rather just stay in the Inner World.

Suddenly, Jiang Xue asked, "Xiao Chen, [4]{referring to Qing Chen in a friendly and informal way as an elder}, I don't see your parents home often. Are they always busy? ”

"Yeah, you can think of it that way," said Qing Chen.

Jiang Xue contemplated for a while and said, "I noticed that your washing machine is broken. Just bring your clothes over and I'll wash them for you now that we've gotten to know each other so well. Also, come to us for dinner after school. In any case, I'll have to cook for Xiaoyun and myself. It's only that I need to prepare one extra set of chopsticks. ”

Qing Chen hesitated and smiled, "Ok, thank you, Aunt Jiang Xue. ”

……

That night, Qing Chen got onto his bed well before the countdown ended.

He was already used to these transmigrations.

“Okay, bring it on”
