Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 270: A Not-So-Legitimate Business

Countdown 1:00:00

Only four hours left until the crossing, which is also the agreed payment time between Zhang Tianzhen, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Chengze.

The final agreed amount was 1 million cash per week, 500,000 before the crossing, and another 500,000 upon safe return.

Before Liu Dezhu set off to collect the cash, Qing Chen had some instructions to give.

In the Daybreak group chat.

Boss:"Liu Dezhu, be careful when collecting the money. Once you have it, keep it at your house."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Boss," Liu Dezhu replied. "I'll be fine."

Qing Chen paused. Actually, what he meant was to be careful with the "money', not his own safety...

However, he didn't correct him. After all, Liu Dezhu was loyal, and he didn't want to hurt his feelings. Besides, he had to maintain his Boss persona.

Boss: "In this matter, the money is secondary. Liu Dezhu, you must make the precautions clear to Zhang Chengze. If he can't meet them, we'd rather not take this job."

The precautions were essentially three rules. Qing Chen couldn't risk the entire Daybreak for this money.

Therefore, after entering the Inner World, Zhang Chengze had to follow Daybreak's instructions.

First, Zhang Chengze couldn't act rashly. He had to get Liu Dezhu's approval before doing anything, and any place he went to had to be checked by Liu Dezhu.

Second, after crossing over, Zhang Chengze couldn't make friends casually or talk to strangers, lest he reveal his "Time Traveler' identity and attract the Conglomerate's attention.

Finally, for the first week, Zhang Chengze couldn't enter District 4 or the Lower Three Zones, as these were high-risk areas. Even with Liu Dezhu's protection, a stray bullet could take anyone down.

After giving these instructions, Liu Dezhu set off to meet at the designated location.

Qing Chen sat on the sofa at home, closing his eyes and silently waiting for the results.

"Chen, are you worried?" Nangeng Chen asked.

"Yeah, I don't know why, but after going through so many setbacks, things going too smoothly feels wrong," Qing Chen said. "Zhang Chengze is a businessman. He wouldn't bet his life on us."

Returning to Ling.

As the world went from dark to light, it was still snowing heavily in the Inner World.

Qing Chen was still in the small apartment where Liu Dezhu and the others were.

Before returning, the black box he was carrying was still in his arms.

Qing Chen got up, and as he walked out of the room, the Cat mask appeared on his Face[-].

At this time, Liu Dezhu saw the black box he was carrying on his back...

Wait, the size of this black box...isn't it the size of a huge anti-materiel rifle?

Liu Dezhu had been wondering where the Boss got the sniper rifle, but now it seemed that the black box clearly contained a sniper rifle!

But how did a sniper rifle get into the Outer World?

"Forbidden Artifact," Liu Dezhu whispered in his heart.

Qing Chen calmly looked at Liu Dezhu: "You guessed it?"

"Yeah," Liu Dezhu didn't hide it. "Congratulations, Boss, on getting a Forbidden Artifact. I saw someone online say that after a Forbidden Artifact recognizes its master, it can be brought to the Outer World. Now, among all the Time Travelers, the number of people who own a Forbidden Artifact can be counted on one hand." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Qing Chen didn't say anything more. After all, he already had three Forbidden Artifacts. If he compared himself to others, it would be unfair to others...

"Remember, when Zhang Chengze calls you, pretend you don't know anything. Whatever happened to him, whatever happened to the Time Traveler around him, it was all done by Glacial Eyes, it has nothing to do with you," Qing Chen said. "You just need to continue the protection mission, but the price increases to 3 million per week. If he agrees, there will be a car to pick you up."

"Yes, yes," Liu Dezhu quickly nodded. "Boss, what if he doesn't agree to the price?"

"Glacial Eyes will make him agree."

Qing Chen sighed inwardly. He swore that from the beginning, he really just wanted to do business properly...
