It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we left the night watchman's community.

The lights are coming on and the neon lights are flashing.

Qin Jinnian stood at the gate of the Night Watchman Community and let out a long breath...

Qin Jinnian naturally declined Lin Yun's proposal during the meal.

If Lin Yun was my biological sister, it wouldn't matter. But these adopted siblings... there was no reason for them to live together.

Besides, this is the lair of the Night's Watch...Who knows what kind of big boss is hiding here? Living here?

But Lin Yun still said that she had left a room for Qin Jinnian... Even if he didn't live there often, he could come over occasionally.

You Qi said that in the future, if Qin Jinnian didn't go home during holidays, she must go to her place... She said that in this world, except Ningning, she has no other relatives. Qin Jinnian is now her only relative besides Ningning.

Qin Jinnian did not refuse this...

He is also more concerned about Ningning, especially now that they have a little secret in common.

And this is the lair of the Night Watchmen... Who knows when we can get some intelligence about the extraordinary that is hard to collect outside...

Of course, Qin Jinnian doesn’t care much about all this now.

The key is...

"More than 28,000 Shadow Points. I wonder how much my super power can be increased this time..."

His eyes were bright; he had been holding it in for the entire day and was now a little impatient.

After thinking for a while, he opened the navigation on his phone. After a moment, he turned his head to look at the night watchman's community behind him, and then he walked away.

Not long after, a black motorcycle emerged from a small alley, merged silently into the traffic flow, and then left... Hmm, the city lights were bright, but the headlights of this black motorcycle were not on...

…

An hour later, outside Qinghe Lake Park, a black motorcycle drove into an empty alley but never came out again.

When he came out, Qin Jinnian was dressed in casual clothes.

There were crowds of people outside Qinghe Lake Park. There were many small stalls along the road. The lights were flashing on the stalls, and there were many lighted toys on display, which attracted many children.

Qin Jinnian followed the crowd and walked into the park. Soon, he arrived at the shore where he usually went fishing.

There were crowds of people on the shore, and in the center of the lake, there were also ferries and people boating.

Boating on the lake is a well-known activity in Qinghe Lake. From time to time, you can hear bursts of laughter and screams coming from the center of the lake.

There are many stalls renting out cruise ships, basically forming a continuous line along the lake shore.

Qin Jinnian went to one of the boat rental spots and asked the stall owner about the price of the trip.

"Handsome guy, we charge by the hour, it's very cost-effective. The boats are big and small, the big boat costs 180 per hour, and the small boat only costs 61 hours."

The stall owner introduced it to Qin Jinnian enthusiastically.

"I want to rent a small boat for one night. How much does it cost?" Qin Jinnian asked.

"I see, handsome guy, you want to go fishing at night, right? Our boat is 500 yuan for the night, plus a 1,000 yuan deposit. Just return the boat before 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you exceed that, you will be charged 60 yuan per hour. If it's less than an hour, you will be charged one hour. Do you think it's okay?"

When the stall owner heard that Qin Jinnian wanted to rent a boat for one night, he didn't find it strange. After all, there were a lot of fishermen in Qinghe Lake, and they often rented boats for one night at a time.

At the end, he introduced with a smile: "We also have fishing gear for rent, handsome guy, do you need it?"

Fishing gear?

Qin Jinnian smiled and shook his head: "No need, I have prepared the fishing gear... I'll just rent a boat."

"OK."

Then he took Qin Jinnian to choose a boat.

Qin Jinnian quickly chose a black covered boat with a paddle at the bow. The boss came on board and gave Qin Jinnian a brief introduction to the items on the boat, such as where lighting fixtures such as flashlights were placed. He also taught Qin Jinnian a brief introduction to how to paddle, and then left.

Qin Jinnian used a bamboo pole to prop up the shore, and the boat was gently sent to the deep water area. Then he placed the bamboo pole under the side of the boat, paddled, and the boat slowly slid out...

You know what, it’s quite fun.

So Qin Jinnian didn't use the shadow, but just slowly rowed the boat, and the boat moved forward steadily.

Gradually the noise on the shore became quieter and quieter, with only a few other small boats passing by.

Qin Jinnian did not stop nearby, but rowed the boat deeper into the water.

Gradually, they moved away from the popular place. The cool lake breeze filled the cabin. Standing at the bow, Qin Jinnian felt very comfortable.

I put down the oars and looked around. I found that there were only some boats docked near the shore of Lingxing. Then I could see the lights on these boats and fishermen sitting on the bows fishing...

Well, Qin Jinnian has not come to Qinghe Lake these two days because he is busy with Ningning's affairs. I think these fishermen should have started to catch some big fish, right? Qin Jinnian smiled, then looked around and thought that this location was not bad...

That's right.

Qin Jinnian came here to upgrade his power.

The last time he upgraded his authority, he was at home. Although he was distracted during the process, he still remembered some fragmentary images of the shadow flying in the air at that time...

But it did not cause much stir at the time because his authority was still weak.

But now that power has been escalated for the second time and riots have occurred, the commotion will be quite large.

After all, a fifty-meter-long black shadow... basically hangs directly from his house to the bottom of the building.

If there was a riot, even if it didn't cause any damage, it would probably alert the night watchmen.

Only in the center of the lake, where the area is large enough and it is late at night, even if you look carefully, you can't see it clearly. As long as it doesn't cause substantial damage, no one will notice it.

He exhaled lightly, sat at the bow, and looked at the panel.

The first thing to upgrade is definitely 'Shadow Control'...

As his current main combat skill, naturally he would click as high as he could.

When the shadow points just reach 1,000, the panel prompts that it can be upgraded. It can be seen that to upgrade the shadow of "First Awakening I", only 1,000 shadow points are enough.

The rest, I'll consider later.

Thinking of this, Qin Jinnian took a deep breath.

With a thought, he clicked the small plus sign after the authority "Shadow"...

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the panel...

[Shadow Points -1000, you upgrade the basic authority 'Shadow Control'. ]

[Basic authority 'Shadow Control', upgraded successfully. Current level: Lv: 2...]

[Your 'status' has been improved, and your current 'status' is at the initial awakening level II. ]

Boom! When the panel refreshed, a roar suddenly came from Qin Jinnian's mind.

The next moment, a feeling of dizziness far stronger than the first time he upgraded suddenly swept over him, and Qin Jinnian's consciousness seemed to be dragged into a dark world for a moment...

This time, he was well prepared, and tried to open his eyes wide, wanting to see the picture of this world clearly...
