Lin Nai entered the Night Watch headquarters and was first led by Lin Yuxi to the first-level reception room to wait, while Tang Hongshan went upstairs to report the situation to the director.
"Have something to drink first, and wait here for a while," Lin Yuxi said with a smile as she brought the two of them two cups of tea.
"Ah, thank you," Ye Wan'er said, taking the tea.
Lin Yuxi blinked and looked at Ye Wan'er curiously. Perhaps this was the first time she had ever seen such a polite demon descendant?
While waiting, the group chatted casually in the living room for a while.
Lin Yuxi is a cheerful and lively girl who can chat with anyone and never has a dull moment.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet."
Lin Yuxi patted her youthful chest with a grin: "My name is Lin Yuxi, I'm 19 years old, a Level 4 superhuman, and my professional rank is 69—Pink Demolitionist. I'm skilled in various fixed-point and non-fixed-point explosive abilities, as well as large-area damage attacks."
Then he pointed to Yang Xiaochuan next to him: "His name is Yang Xiaochuan, he is also 19 years old, a level 4 superhuman, and his professional sequence is 94 - network engineer. He is a tech guy, but his combat skills are so-so."
Yang Xiaochuan pouted unconvinced, thinking to himself, "If I really fought seriously, I wouldn't be bad at all, okay?"
Lin Nai was stunned. He hadn’t expected them to be so young, only a year older than him.
For their age, they were already Level 4 superhumans; no wonder they were able to join the Night Watch.
Back at Yecheng University, Liang Wei was only a 1.9 grader, yet he was already hailed as a prodigy by his advisor...
Although the Night Watch is relatively poor compared to large conglomerates like Gene Company, it is still one of the top forces in the country!
I remember when Liang Wei reached level 1.9, he tried to interview for the Night's Watch, but he was eliminated in the first round.
Lin Yuxi smiled and said to Lin Nai, "Lin Nai, you are an apostle who inherited the power of the gods. Your talent far surpasses ours. You will definitely become a great hero who protects human civilization in the future!"
Lin Nai remained silent, his expression showing little interest: "A great hero, huh...?"
Lin Yuxi blinked twice: "You don't seem excited at all?"
Why should I be excited?
"Becoming a great hero, being admired by thousands... like a super soldier in the movies, isn't that the dream of most of you boys?"
"Hmm... this is probably my dream when I was in elementary school."
"Then why did you stop thinking about it later?"
“Because my parents died in the interdimensional war, I’m the only one left in the family.” Lin Nai shrugged. “The burden of all kinds of expenses has fallen on my own shoulders, and every month I face the crisis of not being able to pay the spiritual energy tax. When you can’t even survive in this world, do you still have time to dream of becoming a hero?”
Lin Yuxi opened her mouth slightly, then said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It's okay." Lin Nai is someone who knows exactly what she wants.
For him now, he has no dreams at all, only two things he wants.
One is making money. Not too much, but at least enough so that when I need money, I won't be stumped by a little. As far as I remember, my parents argued frequently when they were alive, and ten out of ten times it was about money...
Another is the ability to protect those around them.
Although most of the people around me are no longer here.
......
"Knock knock knock..."
"Enter."
Tang Hongshan pushed open the door and saw Director Pang sitting behind his desk, busy writing something with a pen in hand.
"Chief, I'm back."
"Yes. I've heard that you brought back that apostle of the White Death. So, has he agreed to join our Night's Watch?"
"Not yet, but... he made a condition, saying that if we agree, he will join our Night's Watch."
Director Pang stopped writing, slowly raised his head, and looked directly into Tang Hongshan's eyes: "What are the conditions?"
Tang Hongshan paused for a moment, recalling what Lin Nai had said to him just before he got out of the car...
......
"Captain Tang."
Just as Tang Hongshan was about to get off the SUV, Lin Nai suddenly called out from behind.
"Hmm?" Tang Hongshan turned around suspiciously.
Linnaeus looked at him and asked, "If I join the Night's Watch, does that mean I have to complete any task you assign unconditionally, without any room for refusal?"
Tang Hongshan paused for a moment, then said, "Of course. We Night Watchmen are a disciplined combat organization. Although we are not exactly soldiers, we are still employed by the government. Every Night Watchman has a contract, and we must unconditionally complete any tasks assigned by our superiors."
Linnaeus: "I need to have the power to refuse a task under reasonable circumstances."
Tang Hongshan: "...Huh??"
Linnaeus: "If you agree, I will join."
......
"These are his exact words."
Tang Hongshan said helplessly.
Director Pang rubbed his fingers against his pen, remaining silent for a long time before asking, "Did he really say that?"
Tang Hongshan: "Yes."
Director Pang slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile: "This kid is no ordinary person..."
"Huh?"
Tang Hongshan was stunned; he had thought that Director Pang would definitely not agree.
Because this had never happened before.
Director Pang interlaced his fingers and placed them on the table: "It's perfectly normal to make demands. There are only 109 apostles in the whole world who possess the power of the gods. He has the right to make demands."
"This condition is not excessive, but it was somewhat unexpected."
"I thought he would be like most people, bringing up things like money, cultivation resources, or women."
Tang Hongshan asked tentatively, "So you mean... you've agreed to his condition?"
“Yes, of course we’ll agree,” Director Pang said. “Not only will we agree, but I’ll also offer him other ‘conditions.’ Whatever signing fee the gene company pays him, we’ll double it.”
Tang Hongshan's lips twitched slightly: "Do we have that much funding?"
"Of course not," Director Pang said. "I put it on myself."
