Humans Shrunk 100 Times
Chapter 59: Naming

This result stunned everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.

Chen Mu was quite confident that the number of people willing to go to Qingbei wouldn't exceed half, but to his surprise, everyone expressed their desire to stay, which was beyond his expectations.

From Zhuge Liang's perspective afterward, this result wasn't that strange either.

Main members like Dong Junwei and Tang Jing had already stated early on that they didn't want to join other factions.

As for the rest, whether it was Du Jiajia, who hadn't awakened her abilities, or Chang Junyan, whose abilities were not essential, their current situation was the most acceptable for them.

At least they could trust Dong Junwei and Chen Mu's character, and even if they remained ordinary people forever, they wouldn't be easily abandoned. However, if they went to an unfamiliar environment, the best possible outcome would still be what it is now.

A larger collective would mean thinner care and more mechanized rules, inevitably lacking personal touch.

"Now that everyone is willing to stay, let's cooperate and work together for the future," Dong Junwei said, feeling quite gratified by this result. From another perspective, it showed the trust everyone had in her, Chen Mu, and the others.

Zhao Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Since we've decided, should we also give ourselves a name, just like that Qingbei?"

"Right, we can consider ourselves an organization now," Wei Dalei immediately agreed.

"Definitely."

"We should choose a more impactful name."

"..."

Everyone started discussing this proposal eagerly.

Tang Jing smiled and said, "It's indeed quite necessary. After all, we will definitely continue to develop, and when we go out to recruit others, if we don't even have a name, how would people know who we are? In this regard, Qingbei was indeed quite visionary."

"What should we call ourselves then?"

"Let's discuss it in detail."

"How about using our school's name?"

"Purple Veil?"

"Nah, that's too feminine."

"If you're so feminine, why are you still coming to school?"

"To be honest, I wanted to go to Yizhong at first, but my parents insisted I apply to Purple Veil."

"Damn, traitor!"

"Haha, just kidding..."

"..."

"Let me suggest one: 'Apocalyptic Super Mobile Team.'"

"Can you be any more edgy?"

Chang Junyan scratched his arm, grinning mischievously, "Here's my proposal. We were all organized by her, the class monitor, so let's name it 'Dong Junwei and Her Friends.' How about that?"

"That won't work," Dong Junwei couldn't help but smile, being the first to object.

"Your naming style is just as playful as you are," Zhu Hao laughed heartily, "Listen to me, how about 'Class Monitor's Official Fan Support Group.'"

"Damn, you're even more mischievous than me. But I have another one: 'Queen Junwei's Harem.'"

Everyone burst into laughter, saying it was a great one, even He Ying and Feng Xiaoyu joined in the teasing.

Seeing them poking fun at her, Dong Junwei rubbed her forehead with a bit of a headache and helplessly said, "Can you guys be a bit more serious?"

After the jokes, they had to get back to the main topic, but after discussing for a long time, they still didn't have any result.

Naming was always a headache-inducing task, especially when trying to please a large group of people.

Tang Jing said, "The name doesn't necessarily have to be too special, especially now. It's better to choose something more mainstream and easier for people to accept. Of course, it's best if it has some meaning."

"Why don't you just suggest a name, Tang Jing?"

"I'm not good at this kind of thing," Tang Jing smiled.

"Coming up with a name is really hard," Du Jiajia sighed.

"How about 'Dawn'?" Dong Junwei, afraid that they might come up with more nonsense, decided to suggest one herself.

Tang Jing said, "Not bad, and it has a good meaning, but it sounds quite similar to a celebrity's name, a bit odd. Also, names like 'Aurora' or 'Dawn' are easily thought of, and it might be awkward if we have the same name as someone else."

"In that case, how about 'Qiming'?" Chen Mu proposed.

Everyone was taken aback.

It sounded pretty good, didn't it?

"It's not exceptionally great, but it's decent enough," Tang Jing commented.

"Naming is really hard. So, we'll go with the name 'Qiming.' Chen Mu, you're a genius!" Chang Junyan laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu regretted it immediately.

However, He Ying said, "I think it's not bad. Names like these, at first listen, may not sound great, but over time, everyone will get used to them."

Tang Jing first glanced at He Ying and then smiled, saying, "I agree too."

Dong Junwei nodded, "Right, what do you all think?"

With these three giving their approval, the others found it much easier to accept the name.

"Let's go with that then. Besides, we can't come up with anything else."

"Yeah, yeah, 'Qiming,' that's it." Wei Dalei was impatient with brainstorming, so when the leader made the decision, he quickly echoed in agreement.

"Agreed!"

"That's settled then."

"..."

Everyone seemed to be too lazy to think further.

Chen Mu was taken aback.

In reality, he didn't think the name was that great. He just casually threw one out, hoping to spark some ideas from others. But it ended up being decided like this?

Dong Junwei made the final decision, "Since that's the case, our organization shall be called Qiming. Let's work together and open the bright future!"

"Great!"

"So, are we all founding members then?"

Tang Jing smiled and said, "Of course, and this is the first general assembly of Qiming." Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

After hearing this, everyone unconsciously stood up straighter.

Dong Junwei continued, "Tang Jing is right. Now that we've established a formal organization, we should have some order. Let's plan to have a full meeting every seven days to discuss the next action agenda for the organization. What do you all think?"

"That's fine."

"Okay!"

Everyone felt the freshness and excitement of this new endeavor.

It felt like the looming crisis had become much smaller.

...

Feng Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled as she found it a bit hard to understand this group of people.

So, I've just arrived, and I'm already considered a founding member of the organization?

She was willing to stay here solely because of He Ying. She thought that in this world full of dangers and uncertainties, going to Qingbei might not guarantee a worry-free life. It was better to stick with familiar people and take it one day at a time.

In fact, during the initial stages of the apocalypse, almost everyone would have some sense of self-deprecation, and human weakness would lead to a passive response to everything, giving up on thinking and acting based on instincts.

At the beginning, Feng Xiaoyu didn't think that this group of a dozen or so people could achieve anything significant. Even though she had seen many surprising things here, she didn't believe it would be better than Qingbei. These days, she had witnessed too much negativity and adversity, which had eroded her confidence in this world to its lowest point.

However, now, seeing this group of vibrant people, she couldn't help but be puzzled. Where did their positive outlook and confidence come from?

Suddenly, Feng Xiaoyu felt that her previous decision was indeed wise, and Senior He Ying's judgment was much better than hers.

Perhaps, this organization named "Qiming" could really live up to its name and open a bright future for humanity.
