“Yes,” Linnaeus replied.
What number?
"The 3rd of next month."
Lin Yuxi, who was busy cooking nearby, was surprised to hear Lin Nai and Tang Hongshan's words: "Ah? Lin Nai, you're going to the capital?"
“Yes,” Linna said. “The elite members’ training camp is also a way for them to study in the capital for a period of time.”
"Ah..." Lin Yuxi pursed her lips, a hint of reluctance in her expression. "Then... then Lin Nai, will you come back? You won't just leave like this and never come back, will you?"
Before Lin Nai could speak, Tang Hongshan slowly said, "With Lin Nai's strength and talent, he shouldn't have stayed in Yecheng in the first place."
Lin Yuxi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She just pouted and showed a sad expression.
“Linnai, I told you long ago that the path you will take in the future is different from ours; your future potential will far exceed our imagination.”
Tang Hongshan looked at Lin Nai and said seriously, "After today's mission, I am even more convinced of this."
Lin Nai smiled, not being overly modest, which was tantamount to acknowledging Tang Hongshan's praise.
He picked up his glass and clinked it against Tang Hongshan's again: "No matter what, thank you for taking care of me during this time."
“I didn’t take care of you in any way. Everything you have now is what you deserve.” Tang Hongshan shook his head.
Lin Yuxi still looked sad and depressed, and even her favorite barbecue skewers didn't taste good to her anymore.
Ah Guang and Dingzi were different; they were all grinning and saying, "Lin Nai, if you ever become successful, don't forget about us!"
"If you do well in the capital, remember to call us over for a visit."
"Hey, let me tell you, I had the chance to visit the capital once during a mission, and the girls there were amazing! Let me recommend a few places, I guarantee you'll..."
"Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting! Wan'er is still sitting right next to us..."
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
Lin Nai felt both amused and exasperated.
Nightfall sat to the side with her arms crossed, gave a soft snort, glanced at Lin Nai, and muttered, "I have nothing to do with him. He can do whatever he wants..."
Ah Guang and the others just chuckled awkwardly and said nothing more.
The drinking went on until the early hours of the morning, and everyone was quite drunk. Especially A-Guang, Ding-Zi, and Lao Zhang, who were all slumped under the table.
Lin Nai gazed at the people before her with a calm and composed mind. She knew very well that their strength was not great and their talent was far inferior to her own.
But Linnaeus knew that they were all the purest.
In the future, when he climbs to a higher level and comes into contact with people at higher levels, he may meet more and more big shots, but he may never be able to make such pure friends again.
"Team Leader Tang, open your system email," Lin Nai said. "I sent you an email, please check it."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Tang Hongshan opened his system panel and found that there was indeed an email, which was an email about transferring items.
Tang Hongshan opened the email, and his expression immediately changed: "This is... Soul Crystals?? So many?!"
"You and Yuxi should divide these soul crystals among yourselves," Lin Nai said. "That way, you won't lack cultivation resources later on."
"How can this be..." Tang Hongshan's expression was complicated: "This is your final reward from the competition, right? It's too valuable. These are all cultivation resources. You should keep them for yourself. You're an apostle; the value of these resources to you is far greater than ours..."
You should know that ordinary night watchmen like Tang Hongshan only receive one soul crystal as part of their cultivation resources each month!
"Uh, no, actually these things are of no use to me."
Lin Nai touched his nose: "The black crystal that the Icebreaker gave me before was far more effective than these soul crystals. Moreover, these soul crystals are consumables, but the black crystal can be used permanently, so these things are of no value to me."
Moreover, the origins of these soul crystals are not exactly clean...
Some of it was swindled from Hua Lingze and Fang Wu before.
A large portion of it was also obtained by scavenging and looting from Huang Dongqiang and his group of gene companies.
“...That’s not appropriate either.” Tang Hongshan shook his head; he still wasn’t comfortable accepting such valuable gifts from others.
Lin Nai leaned back, paused, and said, "Captain Tang, you should know that I was asked to establish my own Night Watch squad."
Tang Hongshan paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I know that. They even asked for my opinion during the meeting..."
“My current Night Watch rank is about equivalent to a company commander in Yecheng,” Lin Nai said with bright eyes. “But I hope that some of the people I can command in the future will be absolutely trustworthy.”
Tang Hongshan opened his mouth, seemingly understanding what he meant.
“Your current level is too low, not only because Yecheng lacks spiritual energy, nor solely because of your talent, but more so because you have too few cultivation resources.”
Lin Nai smiled and said half-jokingly, "I hope that when I come back and see you again, your levels won't be too far behind mine, otherwise I'll have to assign you some 'garbage cleaning' tasks."
“…I understand.” Tang Hongshan was silent for a moment, then said, “Alright, I’ll accept it.”
......
A few more days passed.
These past few days, Lin Nai has spent most of his time at home cultivating.
With the help of the black crystals given by the Icebreaker, his level had increased to 3.5 in just a few days.
That evening, after finishing his cultivation, he wandered around the city and then came to the black market in Yecheng, where he found the "Black Shark Cigar Experience Store" that he had visited before.
