Night’s Nomenclature
chapter-29

Following Liu Dezhu's announcement that he was in Prison 18 and had met Li Shutong…

In the perspective of his classmates, what they heard was: just obtained the VIP beta tester edition of the epic game, the only legendary weapon, and the rarest secret career route.

Liu Dezhu was instantaneously converted into a god-like figure in the hearts of his students as a result of this.

Qing Chen remained deafeningly silent. He didn't care about what Liu Dezhu wanted to say yet, and he certainly didn't want to reveal the truth.

Suddenly, a student asked, "What was Li Shutong like? "

Liu Dezhu considered this for a moment and said, "In the prison, he was one of a kind. Other inmates were dressed in prison uniforms, but he was dressed in a martial arts robe. I guess that he worked as a jailer or a prison warden. Two of his men were always beside him. One is thin and always smiling, while the other seemed stronger and more serious. "

"What a boss…” exclaimed a student.

"Oh, he had a cat, too," Liu Dezhu added. “It was a big one with two pointy ears. It had the appearance of a lynx."

Hearing that Liu Dezhu was able to describe Li Shutong in such detail. They slowly believed his words.

Then another student asked, "Did you manage to obtain the quest from him? "

As a result of He Xiaoxiao’s videos, many students were adopting gaming terms to describe the happenings of the Inner World.

Liu Dezhu, on the other hand, was stumbling a little this time "His goal and career path are both quite challenging. Li Shutong was unique, as you had heard from He Xiaoxiao's films, and obtaining information from him was tough."

The students nodded in agreement. This made sense.

Some people started doubting him, they thought maybe Liu Dezhu might not be able to get any skills after Li Shutong after all.

"However," Liu Dezhu swiftly continued, "because I've already arrived at Prison 18, I'm not going down without a fight, and I've already spoken with Li Shutong!"

"What have you talked about?" piqued everyone's interest once more.

"Just a few idle chats…" Liu Dezhu continued to feed his classmates what they wanted to hear.

At this time, only Qing Chen knew what Liu Dezhu actually said to Li Shutong… he asked for quests right off the bat.

Another classmate asked, "Then are you a prisoner after you got transmigrated into Prison 18? Is it dangerous? "

Liu Dezhu said, "Not at all, I'm a bit different from other prisoners. "

Qing Chen knew that Liu Dezhu was telling the truth. Liu Dezhu was indeed different from other prisoners: he was in solitary confinement.

Having decided he heard enough, Qing Chen turned around and left the crowd. He figured that he couldn't get much useful information out of this classmate.

Everything Liu Dezhu was talking about was to inflate his teenaged ego.

People rumored that when God created humans, his followers said to Him, "You gave humans curiosity, wisdom, and courage. They will grow too powerful.

God then said, "I will also give them jealousy and vanity."

Qing Chen did not think that being proud of oneself was a bad thing but revealing yourself as a transmigrator was not the wisest choice, given the current conditions.

It was especially so since he was with one of the most important people in the Inner World.

Everyone recognized how important Li Shutong was because of He Xiaoxiao's videos.

However, it appears that getting anything from Li Shutong was quite tough.

They had no idea how hard Qing Chen worked, and he was only able to get close to Li Shutong.

Qing Chen walked right by them, despite the screams and exclamations of his students. It was not his time to bask in the praise and admiration of others. It was none of his business.

Additionally, that mysterious group was due to arrive.

They did the last time, and this time they would as well.

As he walked in the opposite direction as everyone else, he saw Nan Gengchen peeking around.

"Nan Gengchen," Qing Chen called his name.

"What? Who’s that?" Nan Gengchen said.

He turned his head, and Qing Chen noticed his friend appeared to be in low spirits.

"What happened?" Qing Chen asked, "Did someone beat you up? "

"No, no," Nan Gengchen looked down and shook his head, "I just didn't sleep well. "

Qing Chen fixed his gaze on the person in front of him. He didn't have any mechanical limbs or strange indications, just a bad mood.

"Did you get tortured after you transmigrated?" he asked Nan Gengchen as he escorted her back to the classroom.

"Transmigrate? What do you mean?" Nan Gengchen pretended to not know anything.

Nan Gengchen must have transmigrated, thought Qing Chen.

What happened to him in the Inner World that made him like this?

"What have you done after you transmigrated?" muttered Qing Chen.

"I'm not a transmigrator! If you say another word about transmigration to me, I'm going to lose it!" Nan Gengchen was enraged.

Well, Qing Chen couldn't get anything out of his friend either.

Qing Chen couldn't do anything to help his friend because he didn't know where his friend had gone or who he was.

"Didn't I tell you there's a group chat for transmigrators?" Nan Gengchen finally asked softly when it was almost time for class.

"Yeah, you told me before," said Qing Chen, nodding.

Qing Chen knew that his friend wasn’t a stubborn wall. Nan Gengchen would tell him everything eventually.

But to his surprise, Nan Gengchen said, "Didn't I tell you about someone selling socks from the Inner World? "

"Yeah," said Qing Chen.

"Those were fake," said Nan Gengchen, "Don't ask how I found out, because I'm sure that he wasn't a transmigrator, but it's impossible to bring socks over from there. "

"Yeah," said Qing Chen.

Nan Gengchen continued, "Didn't I tell you that there's a way to get in contact with rich ladies? "

"Yeah," said Qing Chen.

"That transmigrator is real. "

Qing Chen was shocked, “?!?!"

He looked at Nan Gengchen and couldn't make out a word for a long time.

To be honest, he was more astonished now than he was the first time he was transmigrated.

So, after entering the Inner World, this guy became depressed since he encountered some wealthy ladies?

Nan Gengchen realized that he had said too much, so he immediately added, "I got this information from the other transmigrators in the group chat. I'm not a transmigrator. "

"Ok, I know." Qing Chen pretended to be accepting his friend's explanation.

They then sat in silence.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "…How rich is she? "

Nan Gengchen's face suddenly went dark, "I said I'm not a transmigrator! "

The bell for the first class rang at this point.

However, none of the students were paying attention to the teacher, instead of focusing on four black-clad men…

Qing Chen hid behind Nan Gengchen and stared out the window.

These men were led by their school's Director of Academic Affairs toward an adjacent classroom.

The students all watched in shock, not knowing what these men were here for.

Only Qing Chen was the one who wasn’t surprised, for he knew why they were here.
