Chapter 505: 326, The Crazy Taboo Land_3
…

Countdown to return 42:00:00.
Only a little more than a day remained until the return.
Qing Chen got up early, took a bath, and changed into clean clothes before heading to the “Microscopic World” neighborhood, planning to return to Autumn Leaf Courtyard through the secret passage.
On the way, he sat quietly in the hover car, tending to his injuries. He couldn’t move without experiencing pain all over his body.
The gap between D-Class and B-Class could only be fully realized through combat.
If Qing’s shadow hadn’t made a move, Qing Chen would probably be dead by now.
Qing Chen didn’t speak.
But Yi did, “Do you remember, we completed a transaction last night?”
Qing Chen remained expressionless.
He let the hover car drive automatically after boarding and kept silent because he was afraid of arousing Yi’s interest in chatting and then steering the conversation to that transaction.
Seeing Qing Chen not speaking, Yi went ahead and said, “It was you who proactively asked me for Li Changqing’s coordinates. Not only did I tell you where she was, but I also helped you find the most suitable sniper spot and planned out all the routes for you…”
“Just say it, what do you want me to do,” Qing Chen said, “Let’s agree beforehand, no more online relationships turning real, don’t involve me in that kind of thing.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t come to you for such matters again, mainly because your cooperation was too low, and I wasn’t very satisfied,” Yi said.
Qing Chen: “…”
How could there be complaints now?
Suddenly, Qing Chen asked, “Was meeting Li Changqing deliberately arranged by you so that I would naturally enter the Half-Mountain Manor and meet the old man?”
“That was just incidental. Uncle Li Dong only told me to get you into Half-Mountain Manor, he didn’t say how to get you there,” Yi said.
“As I thought.”
Qing Chen had always wondered why the first to become real was Qing Shi, and the second was Li Changqing—two seemingly unrelated people. But now, it seemed both had interests related to current matters.
He then asked, “What about Qing Shi, why did you want me to meet her in real life?”
“Because Uncle Li Dong also said to help you gain some advantages in the shadow conflict,” Yi said, “He gave me a large sum of money as a reward.”
Qing Chen helplessly said, “Why do you artificial intelligence love human currency so much?”

“It’s not me who loves it,” Yi said, “It’s the humans I come into contact with that love it, and to be friends with them, naturally, I use what they like. When you make friends with girls, wouldn’t it be stupid not to give lipstick but give Ultraman instead?”
“So, you made me real with Qing Shi because you think this is what you call gaining a bit of an advantage?” Qing Chen didn’t understand.
“Isn’t this an advantage? If we really have to fight, she would definitely go easy on you,” Yi confidently replied, “And don’t get me wrong, I seriously think they are treasures among humans, I like their personalities. It’s just that Uncle Li Dong offered too much money, and I just lent you a hand.”
“It’s me helping you, how has it turned into you helping me,” Qing Chen said, “Don’t twist your words with me, I’m not stupid.”
Qing Chen sighed. The thought processes of artificial intelligence really were different from humans.
“So tell me, what do you want me to help you with this time?” Qing Chen asked.
“This time it’s not very urgent, it can be done after the Li Family’s power transition is over,” Yi said, “But what’s special is that it requires the whole day to participate, to protect someone.”
“Male or female,” Qing Chen asked.
“Male,” Yi replied.
“That’s fine,” Qing Chen said, “Where is he?”
“In Haicheng,” Yi replied.
“Why does he need protection?” Qing Chen asked.
“He inadvertently replaced an important figure in the Inner World. This person’s status in the Inner World isn’t high, but he holds a piece of very important data,” Yi explained, “Now, the Time Traveler controlled by the Chen Clan is searching for him all over the world. He wants to leave Haicheng to go to a place where the Chen Clan can’t infiltrate.”
“Haicheng corresponds to the 7th city, so the Chen Clan has such a great influence over the Outer World here?” Qing Chen wondered.
“Of course,” Yi answered, “You should know, the 7th city is different from the 18th and 10th cities. It’s the Chen Clan’s private territory, outsiders can’t interfere there. They dominate on their own. So, it’s normal that they can affect the Outer World through the Time Traveler. But don’t worry, he is now hidden in a secure location; it’s hard for the Chen Clan to find him in either world, so it’s not urgent.”
Qing Chen was puzzled, “How did a man like that get in contact with you?”
“That’s none of your concern,” Yi replied.
“The data he holds, what is it about?” Qing Chen suddenly felt that if Qing Shi’s and Li Changqing’s becoming real were deliberately arranged by Yi, then this data might also be something he needed.
Yi said, “He’s hidden the data very well, I don’t know what it is right now, so while protecting him, you’d better figure out what data he got.”
“Alright,” Qing Chen responded expressionlessly, “By the way, do you know how to eliminate the Taboo Land?”
Yi answered, “Don’t bother thinking about it, that’s an irreversible natural law. Humans can’t even exterminate microbes, so stop thinking you rule the world and can change it.”
After getting off the car and passing through a long corridor, Qing Chen found no one in Autumn Leaf Courtyard, but the students were already waiting outside early.
He opened the door, and Li Ke and Qing Yi rushed in to start working separately.
Having not seen him overnight, Qing Yi’s movements in working were much smoother, as if he had specifically taken lessons in the evening.
Watching this scene, Qing Chen thought, could this be something to be competitive about?
Life in Autumn Leaf Courtyard seemed to return to tranquility once more, except for Li Changqing’s side; it seemed no other members of the Li Family had noticed that Qing Chen had actually left Half-Mountain Manor.
After the appearance of the sniper, someone had quietly checked the entry and exit records of Half-Mountain Manor.
Those records were very strict, every living being entering and exiting had to be registered.
And there was no mention of Qing Chen’s name on them.
Perhaps, this was the meaning behind the old man giving Autumn Leaf Courtyard to Qing Chen.
With a day and a half remaining, Qing Chen peacefully rested on the recliner, healing and waiting for the return.
He knew there was a fierce battle awaiting him in the Outer World against Jindai and Deer Island, and before that, he had to restore himself to his best condition.
Countdown 00:00:00.
Return.
The world plunged into darkness.
