Chapter 211: 177. Coward

“You’ll probably have to face all the Time Travelers with the ID ‘A Little Duckling’ from now on,” Qing Chen said in a tone that was both sympathetic and pained.

Nan Gengchen said expressionlessly, “Brother Chen, if you want to laugh, just laugh.”

“Hahahahaha!”

The laughter lasted a full ten minutes.

Someone else in the group sent a message: “Little Duckling, how come you’re not talking? If you join the group and don’t talk, why did you join in the first place?”

Zhang San thought for a moment and replied, “It’s 11:30 at night. Considering his ID, maybe he’s at work right now…”

Qing Chen exclaimed, “Zhang San’s analysis makes a lot of sense!”

Nan Gengchen slumped onto the couch, and after a long hesitation, he looked up and asked, “Brother Chen, I just want to know, if I commit suicide now, would you have to bear any legal responsibility?!”

“There’s no need to go to such extremes,” Qing Chen said as he rubbed his aching cheeks from laughter. “After thinking it through, your joining the group might not necessarily be a bad thing. Although they know you’re a Time Traveler, they might not know your… real identity in the Inner World.”

As he spoke, Qing Chen glanced at Yue Er. With this girl present, it was inconvenient for him and Nan Gengchen to talk.

After all, they couldn’t be sure whether the girl was a friend or foe, and Qing Chen couldn’t risk exposing Nan Gengchen’s identity to her.

Yue Er said with ease, “I know I’m an outsider; it’s only natural for you to keep things from me.”

“Thanks for understanding,” Qing Chen nodded and continued speaking to Nan Gengchen, “If we play your card right, it might turn out to be quite effective. Wait a moment, I’ll go to the bathroom and report this situation to the boss.”

Qing Chen ducked into the bathroom and took out his communicator. Liu Dezhu had already sent a message: “Boss boss, regarding He Xiaoxiao’s group chat, I have important information to report!!!”

Qing Chen was actually surprised; Liu Dezhu had become exceptionally proactive in his work, and he didn’t need to be prompted at all to report everything.

He sent a message to Liu Dezhu: “You’ve received He Xiaoxiao’s invitation, haven’t you?”

Liu Dezhu on the other end of the communicator was shocked: “Boss, how did you know I was going to talk about this? It’s like you have divine foresight, I did indeed just receive the invitation, and I was about to ask if I should join!!!”

Qing Chen thought to himself whether the guy was still angry, using so many exclamation points.

He pondered.

Actually, on their side, ‘one and a half’ face-up cards had appeared.

A complete face-up card was Liu Dezhu, while the half was Nan Gengchen.

The difference between the two was that only a few people knew of Nan Gengchen’s identity as a Time Traveler, but they didn’t know his identity in the Inner World.

On the other hand, Liu Dezhu’s situation was a bit clearer; most people now believed that he had become a core member close to Uncle Li Dong, with Uncle Li Dong even instructing Li Dongze from the Heng Society to kill someone for him.

These two cards, if used together, could produce an extraordinary effect.

And indeed, they had opponents they needed to deal with!

Qing Chen messaged Liu Dezhu: “Join that group chat, then tell me which group you’re in and who’s there with what IDs.”

On the other side, with the boss’s instructions, Liu Dezhu no longer worried about exposing himself and decisively clicked the link.

After downloading the app and when it came to entering a nickname ID, Liu Dezhu wanted to choose a name that wouldn’t reveal his identity too easily. But to his astonishment, he found that the dialogue box for entering a nickname ID suddenly disappeared, and his personal information now showed: Liu Dezhu (verified with real name).

Liu Dezhu almost threw up on the spot. What the hell kind of APP did real name verification?

The next moment, the group started to buzz: “Liu Dezhu is here?”

“Holy shit, it’s Liu Dezhu! And there’s even real name verification!”

“Officially verified Liu Dezhu!”

In the current circle of Time Travelers, there wasn’t a soul who didn’t know the name Liu Dezhu, and his entrance into the group even caused a small commotion.

Qing Chen was still waiting for a reply when he heard Nan Gengchen shouting from outside the bathroom, “Brother Chen, Liu Dezhu has joined the group!”

Qing Chen frowned. Liu Dezhu had also joined this group. Was it a deliberate arrangement, a coincidence, or was it that so far He Xiaoxiao had only invited so many people?

He sent a message to Liu Dezhu: “Coordinate with an ID named ‘A Little Duckling’.”

After sending it, Qing Chen came out of the bathroom and earnestly watched the rolling messages in the chat group, patiently waiting for an opportunity.

Nan Gengchen thought to himself that Liu Dezhu’s sudden entry into the group must have been under Brother Chen’s direction. He glanced at Yue Er, wondering if this girl knew Brother Chen’s real identity?

But considering the two seemed to be cohabiting, she probably did.

After Liu Dezhu joined the group, he remained silent, and the enthusiasm of the group members gradually subsided.

At that moment, an ID called “Yue Er” asked, “Why are there so few people in this group? Including He Xiaoxiao, there are only 28.”

Chuang Wang responded, “These days, without having established a data fortress, who dares to join this crappy group chat? Who knows what He Xiaoxiao’s plotting… There couldn’t really be anyone who joined without having established a data fortress, could there?”

Yue Er and Qing Chen silently turned to look at Nan Gengchen, who with his head lowered and cheeks flushed, was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhang San said, “Nowadays, everyone is looking out for themselves. I’ve heard that some Time Travelers even immigrated abroad after getting their public test eligibility, making it difficult for domestic Time Travelers to find them. And since they don’t have any interaction with the Time Travelers overseas, those ones can’t discover them either.”
