Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 235: Li Yinuo, the Insider

For other genetic warriors, getting a genetic injection would, of course, be a surprise.

However, this was not a surprise which Qing Chen wanted, but a shock.

First, genetic injections could not be injected out of order. Ordinary people have to wait for a full month after taking the first 005 injection, otherwise, they would die abruptly due to the inability of the body to handle the sudden increase in power.

If Qing Chen were to be injected with the 003 sequence directly right now, his death was almost certain.

Second, the injection of genetic injections would have the side effect of no longer being able to produce offspring.

Although Qing Chen didn’t have such worldly desires at that moment, what if he wanted to in the future?

In short, he must not take this genetic injection!

Li Changqing looked at Qing Chen with interest: “Why are you not happy at all when you see this 003 sequence FDE genetic injection?”

Qing Chen recalled the date and said, “I can’t take the 003 genetic injection yet, because it has only been 13 days since I took 004. I have to wait another 18 days.”

The interval between genetic drugs is calculated per month.

Li Changqing looked at Qing Chen and suddenly realized, “So that’s how it is. I thought it had been a while since your last injection. Okay, leave the gene injection here first, and I’ll give it to you when the time comes.”

Qing Chen suddenly felt relieved. He thought to himself: what is this?

He hasn’t gained anything since coming here, and he almost had to take a shot. How could this be justified?

To be honest, neither he nor ONE expected that Li Changqing would give him an injection in person!

Fortunately, in terms of the Inner World, it has only been 10 days since his first appearance in the boxing ring, which allowed him to find the most suitable excuse.

As for what would happen 18 days later, he had already figured out how to deal with it.

At this time, Li Changqing asked Old Six to put away the genetic injection. Realizing that she would have to witness him taking the genetic injection with her own eyes next time, Qing Chen felt a headache.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and discovered that Li Yinuo was trying very hard to hold back her laughter.

Li Changqing took Qing Chen’s arm and sat down, “The person next to you is my niece, Li Yinuo. She also liked your boxing matches. We were all there last night. I had already arranged for Old Six to rescue you, but I didn’t expect you to turn defeat into victory. It’s rare for one to win a match against a higher-level opponent in the entire Federation.”

Li Yinuo said with a smile, “Hello, Brother Qing Chen, I am your fan.”

“It’s my honor,” Qing Chen said politely.

“Aunt, let’s talk business first,” Li Yinuo looked at Li Changqing, “We were talking about the Kashima and Kamidai families just now. I heard that you captured several people from Kashima and Kamidai?”

Hearing the names of the two consortiums, Li Changqing’s face darkened. “How dare these bastards come to the South to stir up trouble. I guess they expected the Li family would be weak during the power transition, so they wanted to interfere. Recently, these two groups have stationed troops in the North. Perhaps as soon as the old man closes his eyes, they will start a small-scale war again.”

Li Yinuo asked curiously, “They have created quite a lot of trouble in recent years, such as marriages between the two families and frequent troop movements. Why?”

“There are many Forbidden Lands in the North, and they are spreading at a rapid pace. Among them, Forbidden Land 037 has even spread to 30 kilometers north of City 26. They may have sensed the crisis, so they want to reshuffle the Federation and develop in the South,” Li Changqing sneered, “But the three southern consortiums control the political and economic lifeline here. Without causing some chaos among us, they can’t get through.”

“Aunt, which candidate in the Fight for the Shadow do you think has the most potential?” Li Yinuo asked.

“I am more optimistic about Qing Wu,” Li Changqing thought, “Qing Wen has been the center of all attention, which made many people think that he was the main obstacle to deal with, but he doesn’t have the ability to defeat ten people all at once. Originally, Qing Huai was also dazzling enough to help him share the firepower, but now Qing Huai died inexplicably in Forbidden Land 002. You were there at the time. It is said that he was hunted by a Son of God from the Firepit. Is it true?”

“Well, that’s what it seemed like at the moment,” Li Yinuo nodded, “Aunt, please continue. I think Qing Zhong from the Second Branch is also very powerful. Why do you think his chances aren’t that high?”

“I have seen Qing Zhong before. He is brave but not scheming enough and too reckless,” Li Changqing said. “This kind of person may be more suitable to be a general who charges into battle, but not suitable to be the Shadow or the head of the family. I think neither the Shadow nor Qing Xun, the current head of the Qing family, will choose him.”

“Then why did Aunt choose Qing Wu?” Li Yinuo asked.

“Smart, patient, and ruthless,” Li Changqing said, “He possesses many of the qualities that a Shadow should have… You should study them more now, because no matter what, one of them will become a Shadow in the end and hold great power. Having a better understanding of them now will be helpful in the future.”

Li Yinuo nodded. She glanced at Qing Chen out of the corner of her eye and thought that she was being considerate by asking the second-generation elder of the Li family to help analyze the situation.

However, at this time, Li Changqing changed the subject: “In this generation, Qing Shi is young but has the appearance of a demon. Although Qing Shi is a girl, her father is ambitious behind the scenes. The Fight for the Shadow has always been one in which no one knows the result until the last second. Even a few years after the selection, the outside world does not know the result. Therefore, the current speculation is only for reference and does not have much value. You just need to understand each of them.”

Li Yinuo thought that the results of the Fight for the Shadow were really confusing throughout the ages.

Wasn’t there a candidate who faked his death sitting next to her right now? Who would have thought that this person who was ignored the earliest would grow the fastest?

Qing Chen seemed to be calmly eating snacks and fruits nearby, but he was already analyzing things seriously in his heart. This was the first time he heard someone analyze each candidate, and he finally had an overall idea.

Even Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Shutong had never spoken to him about this matter before, and just told him to figure it out slowly on his own.

“Hey,” Li Changqing asked, “Why are you suddenly concerned about the Fight for the Shadow?”

Li Yinuo asked again: “Aunt, I have contacted several Shadow candidates, and several of them have contacted me. Although I don’t know what they want to do, I have agreed to them all. Now there are four people who have formed an alliance with me.”

Qing Chen was listening on the side, and he thought that this was very much in line with the style of him joining everyone in the Outer World.

Li Changqing asked Li Yinuo: “Why are you forming an alliance with so many candidates?”

“I just want to form more alliances so that I can keep track of their dynamics. Anyway, these candidates are not from our Li family, so it doesn’t matter if a few of them die,” said Li Yinuo.

Li Changqing praised: “This time you made a smart move, but I suspect that the Qing family’s Shadow has arrived in City 18. This time, the Qing family’s highlight is still the Shadow.”

“Is he an enemy or a friend?” Li Yinuo asked.

“Neither an enemy nor a friend,” Li Changqing seemed unwilling to talk about this matter because it involved real secrets. She changed the subject and said, “The second round of tasks in the Fight for the Shadow might not truly be related to the power change of the Li family. The Shadow always likes to hide his real intentions. No one knows what he really wants to do.”

At this time, Li Yinuo asked: “By the way, aunt, have you visited Grandpa?”

“No,” Li Changqing’s face calmed down after talking about this. She looked at Old Six and said, “Take Qing Chen to the shooting range to see how good his shooting skills are. His resume says that he is a very good shooter.”

Qing Chen: “…”

ONE didn’t tell him this. How could he be a good shooter?

“Okay, okay,” Old Six limped out with Qing Chen. He thought this kid was only good at close combat.

Qing Chen understood that he was being sent away. After all, this was a matter involving the core secrets of the family, and Li Changqing would not be stupid enough to let him sit in on it.

But he didn’t care, today’s harvest was enough.

Qing Chen looked at Old Six who was leading the way in front of him, “Why are you called Old Six? Is it because you are sixth in the ranking?”

“No,” Old Six shook his head. “I’m called Old Six because I once blocked six bullets for Boss Changqing in City 1. My legs have been crippled since. Boss Changqing called me Old Six to remind herself not to forget that I blocked the bullets for her.”

“I see,” Qing Chen nodded.

“I thought you were only good at close combat. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you are proficient in firearms?” Old Six asked without turning his head.

Qing Chen thought, ‘I just found out about that skill too…’
