Night’s Nomenclature

"Let's pack up and be on our way. For some reason, the two groups just started fighting in the mountains all of a sudden," Qin Cheng said in a panic.

Hearing the sound of the battle in the mountains getting a little too close, the old man couldn't sit still.

He knew that there were only two groups of people in this area: the Autumn Hunting team and Zhang Tongdan's boss.

But this felt strange to him. How did they get into a fight?

Qin Cheng glanced at Li Shutong and Qing Chen. After a lot of hesitation, he couldn't help but ask, "When you entered the mountain early in the morning, did anything strange happen, such as…"

"No," said Li Shutong.

"Nope," Qing Chen followed.

Qin Cheng felt speechless. The teacher and student were in such a hurry to claim that they were unrelated to this.

He was a hundred percent certain that the battle in the mountains had everything to do with them!

At this time, Li Shutong said to him, "Brother, please help us both find some suitable clean clothes. I think Qin Tong's clothes can suit us very well."

"Why do you want clothes all of a sudden?" asked Qin Cheng.

"After all, wearing such a jacket is a bit conspicuous," Li Shutong said with a smile: "One can tell that we aren't from the wilderness at a glance."

Qin Cheng's scalp felt a sudden numbness. Could it be that they were seen doing something and want to change clothes so no one would notice?

He quickly found them two sets of clothes and ordered the rest to get ready to leave.

After a while, Qing Chen was changing clothes in the woods and asked, "Teacher, do you have any new plans?"

"Yep, I'm going to teach you the fourth lesson," said Li Shutong after changing into a new set of clothes quickly.

Qing Chen suddenly felt that someone was peeking at him, and when he turned around, he found Qin Yiyi fleeing in a hurry.

He put on his clothes and asked, "Teacher, what is the fourth lesson about?"

"It will teach you how to be a hunter," answered Li Shutong.

"What will be the prey?" Qing Chen asked again.

"You'll find out soon enough."

The two buried their jackets and mountaineering bags. Aside from the stool that Li Shutong insisted on bringing, they only brought a few essentials with them.

He even buried his heavy health knowledge manual.

…

Two pickup trucks were driving on the road.

Two days passed quickly.

Countdown 16:00:00.

Although the Outer World corresponds to the Inner World, the area of land in the Inner World was much larger than that of the Outer World.

In the Outer World, driving for three days on a highway was more than enough to cross a province.

However, as Qing Chen sat quietly on the pickup, he saw the milestones next to the roads went from "City 18, 235" to "City 18, 644", and they were still in City 18's jurisdiction.

He realized that the mapping difference between the Inner World and the Outer World was very large.

Meanwhile, Li Shutong, Qin Yiyi, and Qin Tong started playing cards in the car.

They also wanted to ask Qing Chen to play, but Li Shutong didn't allow it. According to the teacher, cheaters should not be allowed to play.

The three of them played a game called "Anti-Monopoly", very similar to Chinese poker.

Li Shutong used Thor as a bargaining chip, and for every round he lost, he would give a Thor, while Qin Yiyi needed to give him an apple for every round she lost.

As a result, in just half an hour, Qin Yiyi lost more than a dozen apples in her backpack.

Li Shutong didn't show any kindness to her, and actually took apples to his side, as if it was just a fair gamble.

Qing Chen was speechless. How come his teacher was so playful?

After traveling with his teacher, he found that his teacher was more like a stubborn, wild teenager.

Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Qing Chen took over the cards in her hand and said to his teacher, "Come on, let's keep going."

Li Shutong instantly became serious.

In less than ten minutes, Qing Chen got all the apples back for the girl.

She cheerfully took back the apples while Li Shutong said sadly, "You are such a traitor."

However, even though Li Shutong seemed distressed, he still enjoyed every bit of the game.

During the eight years in that prison, he had never been so happy.

Qing Chen handed the cards back to Qin Yiyi, and he closed his eyes again to rest.

Li Shutong glanced at the teenager, knowing that he wasn't sleeping. Instead, he was reviewing the lesson he had in the morning over and over again.

They were short on time, so the teenager didn't have many opportunities to practice before climbing that mountain.

Therefore, Qing Chen reviewed every detail: how to choose a climbing route, how to create a support point for himself when there was nowhere to grab, how to exert force on his arms, legs, and fingers, and how to adjust during the climbing process accordingly…

He had to know all of these.

Gradually, the road started getting bumpy.

Qing Chen looked over and saw that the road went from asphalt to dirt.

Qin Yiyi explained to him, "We just left City 18's border and are about to reach City 1. Because of the inaccurate borderlines in the early days of the cities' formation, none of the cities claimed the part where we are at right now to be theirs to avoid paying for the roads. That's why we see this weird dirt road now."

Qing Chen thought to himself that this was surely strange. This would never happen in the Outer World at all.

Qin Yiyi said with a smile, "But now that we got to this dirt road, we know that today's campsite is not far away. Our family found that spot. There's a creek that we can go in barefooted because it's too shallow for those big fish and next to the creek is a persimmon forest. In the summer, we will soak the persimmons in the creek water and eat them when they are cold. Wild beasts don't go there often as well, they only appear in more Southern areas."

The girl was very open about it as if she was sharing her own happiness.

Qing Chen understood that this should be a fixed campsite for the Qin family every time they come here. It did sound like a paradise for them.

However, just as they turned into a small mountain road, they found that a convoy was already parked in front of them.

Seeing the Mt. Fuji logo on the SUVs, Qing Chen looked back at Li Shutong and said, "Teacher, they're Kamidai Family's vehicles."

Li Shutong laughed and whispered, "Why are you nervous, afraid of meeting acquaintances?"

"How come I always feel like you're trying to seek fun from me?" asked Qing Chen.

"What are you two talking about?" Qin Yiyi came over.

Li Shutong wiped some dust from the bottom of his shoe and smeared some on his face and Qing Chen's.

At this moment, Qin Yiyi realized that she may have made a mistake before. They hit in the woods before not because they didn't want to talk to those playboys, but because their appearance was very recognizable! So, if they didn't make a disguise, they would be caught!
