Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 437: Yang Yang Elected as Director with the Highest Votes

Kunlun distributed a single-page document to each person, listing the network IDs of 240 individuals without their real names. Each Time Traveler only needed to check the names of the people they wanted to vote for, with a maximum of nine selections. The top nine candidates with the most votes would then take the stage to campaign.

Qing Chen glanced at the list and found his name, along with Yang Yang, Liu Dezhu, and Nangeng Chen. Was this to make it easier for Daybreak to choose a director?

Yang Yang, beside Qing Chen, looked unhappy. "Why am I chosen to represent Daybreak? I don’t want to be a director."

Qing Chen asked, "Wasn't it you who gloated just now? Aren't you a member of Daybreak? Didn’t you say you would do whatever the Boss asks you to do?"

"I was just trying to elevate the Boss’s status," Yang Yang said with a bitter expression.

Qing Chen quietly observed the crowd and whispered, "It’s fine. When you’re on stage, just don’t campaign. All I need is for you and Qing Yuan to be together, so you can remember his Force field. After that, I’ll find a way to find him."

Yang Yang was stunned. "So that’s it. No wonder you asked Kunlun to include Qing Yuan as a candidate, to make him show up so I can mark him."

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded. "It might not be Qing Yuan himself, but I only need him to appear, so I can identify his puppet."

According to Kunlun's rules, everyone could wear masks or slime costumes during the campaign.

So, based on Qing Yuan's behavior, he probably won’t attend in person. Qing Chen wouldn’t either if he had the ability.

However, Qing Chen currently lacks any relevant clues. He needs to find a lead.

Yang Yang’s arrival seems to provide Qing Chen with a clue to uncover the other party.

The ability to perceive Force fields and mark others is difficult for ordinary people.

Moreover, the votes are cast using network IDs. Qing Chen needs to know if Qing Yuan’s ID is Guan Jue.

Yang Yang curiously looked at Qing Chen. "Aren’t you afraid Kunlun will discover something?"

Qing Chen smiled. "Boss Zheng is so smart, he must have already discovered it. Further concealment would only make him look stupid. But I also know Boss Zheng's Inner World identity."

The Daybreak members checked Yang Yang, Zard, Huan Yu, and Guan Jue on the form.

Yang Yang reluctantly checked Glacial Eyes as a last resort.

Qing Chen was curious. "With this free selection and public voting method, how does Kunlun control the outcome?"

He looked around the venue, recalling the details that had just happened, but discovered a strange pattern. The organizations with a real chance of becoming directors all received forms from Lu Yuan. Another group of people wearing masks received forms from Ni Ergou.

Qing Chen understood. Among the nearly thousand people in the venue, over two hundred were Kunlun’s own people.

Many people had said that Kunlun had a hidden team that appeared when Wang Yun's parents were pursuing Liu Dezhu, and again when dealing with Shendai and Koshima. But they quickly disappeared again.

It seemed that this group was now at the venue under Ni Ergou's arrangement, disguised as ordinary people, following Kunlun’s instructions to vote for the names Kunlun wanted.

Even Red Leaf only had over twenty people, how could they compare to these two hundred plus? Weren’t they just selecting whoever they wanted? Cheating!

Then came the vote counting. Yang Yang watched helplessly as she was elected as a director candidate with the highest vote of 379. Not only did Kunlun’s two hundred plus people vote for her, but also Matrix, Red Leaf, and many Time Travelers who were impressed by her.

The nine candidates were Zard, Yang Yang, Xiao Ran, Haicheng Wu Yanzu, Jianshouqing, Guan Jue, Shancheng La Ziji, Lu Yuan, and Yu Cheng. The last two were real names, one belonging to Kunlun and the other to Nine Provinces. The chairman and vice-chairman were predictable: Chairman Zheng Yuandong, Vice Chairman He Jinqiu.

The conference finally reached its main topic and was nearing its end.

Zard was the first to take the stage to campaign. Wearing a slime costume, he shuffled onto the stage. "Hello everyone, I am the representative of Daybreak... something seems wrong. Oh, sorry, I am Mr. Huan Yu’s representative!"

Huan Yu, hidden in a Pikachu costume, remained expressionless. He silently watched his unreliable subordinate, feeling that he would eventually die at the other’s hands.

Zard looked at everyone. "When I was young, my mother told me, if the class needs to elect a class officer, you must be proactive..."

Blah, blah, blah. He spoke for more than ten minutes.

Just as everyone thought he was about to finish, Zard said, "When I was in middle school, my father told me..."

Zard used over an hour to introduce his entire family and friends to everyone.

The atmosphere in the venue was grim.

Yang Yang was glad that he talked so much, delaying her turn.

Amidst everyone’s despair, Zard turned the campaign speech into a process of elimination.

Initially, people weren’t sure who to choose. After Zard's speech, everyone knew who not to choose. Whoever became a director, it shouldn’t be Zard.

Yang Yang suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Qing Chen curiously looked at her. "Why do you seem so nervous?"

Yang Yang said seriously, "I have to go up quickly, otherwise, if another person is eliminated, I will really be elected."

Qing Chen chuckled, this girl was trying to avoid being elected?

When Yang Yang took the stage, she simply said, "Hello everyone, I’m Yang Yang, but I don’t want to be a director. Please don’t vote for me."

Then she left the stage.

At that moment, Qing Chen suddenly clapped. "This is exactly the kind of concise director we need! Vote for her, vote for her, vote for her!"

With this one sentence, Qing Chen aroused everyone's agreement.

Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen: “..."

At this moment, she realized that she had to be the director.

Afterwards, everyone’s campaign speeches were extremely brief. Zard spoke for 1 hour and 49 minutes, and the other eight candidates spoke for a total of 40 minutes. Not even a tenth of Zard’s time.

The only thing that piqued Qing Chen's interest was that Guan Jue had actually come. This was the officially recognized Qing Yuan by Kunlun, though not necessarily himself. But Yang Yang had already memorized his Force field.

Qing Chen looked at Yang Yang. "If you see this person again, can you recognize him?"

Yang Yang said, "As long as he’s not reduced to ashes, I can definitely recognize him."

"What level is he?"

"D-Class."

"Then it’s probably not himself," Qing Chen pondered. If it was Qing Yuan himself, his strength should be higher.

It seems that Qing Yuan needs many conditions to create puppets, like Marionettes. Otherwise, he should try to create stronger puppets.

The conference ended.

Yang Yang was elected as a director with the highest vote.

The Time Travelers bid farewell reluctantly. Unlike the tense atmosphere of Daybreak, everyone made many friends here.

Jianshouqing, the head of the Red Umbrella organization, even shed tears on the spot, inviting his familiar Time Travelers to Kun City to eat mushrooms. The scene was quite touching.

Qing Chen watched this scene and suddenly felt that everyone was here to make friends, only Daybreak was here to cause trouble.

Nangeng Chen stood beside him curiously. "Brother Chen, are we leaving now?"

"Yes," Qing Chen nodded. "The next crossing is coming soon. Let’s return to Luo City to rest, in case it’s another month-long crossing."

This crossing, he had many things to do:

Finding Qing Yuan.

Helping the Guardians' Union gain a foothold in City 10.

Exchanging Qing Mu.

Investigating clues about Qing Xing’s Forbidden Artifact.

However, Qing Chen did not feel tired.

For some reason, compared to the joy of the Outer World, he felt he preferred the tension and excitement of the Inner World.

Daybreak had indeed left, and Yang Yang followed them to Luo City, wanting to visit Daybreak's new base. She said that she was a formal member of Daybreak after all, and she needed to recognize the place.

As Daybreak was on its way home, a young man stood outside the high-speed rail station, somewhat confused. "They’re really gone? Wasn’t Daybreak targeting me? Who would it be then, Qing Xing?"

On the high-speed train, Yang Yang curiously looked at Qing Chen. "Since you knew that person was following us to the high-speed rail station, why didn’t you take action?"

Qing Chen thought for a moment. "Because I’m not sure if I can completely eliminate him. If I can’t kill him completely, I’d rather not implicate the entire Daybreak. Let him suspect others first, it’s a strategy. What if he really fights with Qing Xing? Even if he doesn’t fight Qing Xing, fighting other Shadow Candidates is also good. Besides, you’ve already reached City 10 in the Inner World. Finding this puppet is still possible. It’s not bad to secretly observe his daily routine of controlling puppets. He thinks everything he’s doing is secret, but it’s all under our surveillance, isn’t that great?"

Yang Yang muttered softly, "Those who play tactics have dark hearts."

Um, sorry everyone, that’s all for today.

Something unexpected happened recently. Ren Xiaosu’s younger brother or sister is about to come into this world. My wife started experiencing morning sickness a few days ago. Pregnant women really suffer, and their emotions are unstable. The family is in a mess, so I need to spend more time with her. frёeωebɳovel.com

If it’s a girl, she’ll probably be named Ren Xiaomian. If it’s a boy, I haven’t decided yet. I’m currently resisting the idea of another boy, but I hope it's not.
