Chapter 169 The training camp is over, leaving = beginning. (4)
"What do you mean I'm not including you guys?" Liu Lang said unhappily. "It's just that this is different. Besides... if Lei Yingdong's special team can't include you, can't you form your own?"
"It's only natural for me to follow my master! Besides, there's no rule that says I can only join one special team. Once Qiye establishes a special team... I can join your team too!"
"You can do it like that?" Shen Qingzhu was quite shocked by Liu Lang's words.
I thought he had been unruly enough since he was a child... but I never expected Liu Lang's ideas to be so unconventional.
After listening to Liu Lang's words, Baili Pangpang thought about it carefully and realized that it wasn't impossible to do it that way.
Excitedly grabbing Lin Qiye's shoulder, she exclaimed, "That's right! Think about it, you're a dual-god agent, one realm lower than Lei Yingdian, so being a special team leader shouldn't be a problem, right? Then, just like Lei Yingdian, you can pull us all in, right..."
"Anyway, the members of the special team are all chosen by the team leader himself, so we can get together again! A dual god agent, and I am the young master of the Baili family and a collector of forbidden items. It's not too much to be a member of the special team, right? And Cao Yuan, his forbidden artifacts are known as the 'number one person below the gods'."
"Add Zhai Ge and Molly, and they're all owners of extremely high-risk forbidden ruins... Doesn't that complete our special team's main members?!"
“With the Prodigal Son, we already have six people.” Cao Yuan nodded, seemingly considering the possibility. “Add Li Jia, the Li Liang brothers, and Deng Wei… that should be about right… enough to form a special team!”
"By the way, do you guys want to come along?" Cao Yuan looked at the other members of the first rescue team who had come with him and had been assigned to the team. Some of them had auxiliary abilities in the Forbidden Realm, so if they joined, the logistics personnel would also be there...
However, upon hearing Cao Yuan's words, they all unconsciously shook their heads. "No, no, no, we'd rather not... We feel that with our abilities, we should just be ordinary Night's Watchmen."
"I see... Well then, everyone makes different choices, and I'm definitely sticking with Nanaya!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I object!" Lin Qiye raised his hand. "I haven't even said anything yet, and you guys are already forming teams?"
"Objection overruled!" Liu Lang immediately followed suit, raising his hand.
"I agree! Objection overruled!" Baili Pangpang, Zhaige, and Molly raised their hands simultaneously and said in unison.
"Okay, okay, I agree..." Lin Qiye looked at the barbecue grill in front of him, the image of the [Masked] team flashed through his mind, and he agreed with a wry smile.
"But it's not something I can just agree to! Have you ever seen a special squad leader let a recruit from the 'Pool' realm become their leader?" Lin Qiye shook his head. "It's still too early..."
“We didn’t say you should form a special team right now. The possibility is definitely high when you reach the ‘Chuan’ realm.”
"That's right, that's right..."
“But the decision to form special teams is made by the higher-ups of the Night Watch, and we don’t have the final say… Is it really possible to form two special teams in one fell swoop?” Lin Qiye sighed deeply.
“That’s true…” Cao Yuan’s initial excitement at being able to spend time with Lin Qiye again instantly turned to icy despair, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him. “However, when you ever have the chance to create a special team, Qiye, remember to come find me in Shangjing City!”
"And me, I'll be waiting for you in Guangzhou and Shenzhen," Baili Pangpang interjected.
Molly retorted, "Count me in too! I'll be waiting for you in Suzhou..."
Shen Qingzhu said softly in a cocky tone, "Am I one of them too?"
Li Liang patted his chest and said confidently, "If you don't mind us two brothers, we'll join you too..."
As for Li Jia, I agreed on behalf of my brother... take both of us with you!
Deng Wei chimed in, "Me too!"
Liu Lang said with a relaxed expression, "I don't need to say anything more, do I?"
Lin Qiye gazed at their solemn faces and nodded vigorously: "If that day ever comes, I will definitely keep my word."
"Haha, let's go get some skewers!"
"Hahaha!"
......
The next morning, the sky was cloudless.
All the new recruits were solemnly dressed in their military uniforms and stood straight... Even Shen Qingzhu, who initially wore her military cap backwards and didn't wear her uniform properly, had now straightened her uniform, put on her hat neatly, and stood there quietly.
Because today is the day they graduate from training...the most important and glorious moment for them since entering the training camp!
They will officially become members of the Night's Watch...
Standing on the podium, Yuan Gang, abandoning his usual serious demeanor, scanned the crowd and said with a smile, "Before announcing the start of the ceremony, I take back what I said before... You are the best batch of recruits I have ever led."
Everyone was taken aback. They had been scolded ever since they came in, so the sudden praise was quite unusual.
But Yuan Gang continued speaking from the podium, “You have performed exceptionally well in this disaster relief operation. Whether you are soldiers or night watchmen... you are all worthy of the title ‘night watchmen’!”
Therefore... every new recruit participating in this rescue team will be awarded a 'Spark' medal.
"This Starfire Medal will be issued to you along with your Star Blades later. During this rescue operation... a small team was ambushed by the Church of the Ancient Gods, but with the help of a 'kind person,' they annihilated the entire enemy force."
They are the first rescue team this time!
One of them even lost his arm while protecting his comrade... We will do everything we can to help him recover. We, the Night's Watch, will never mistreat any 'hero'!
Hereby, we award the first rescue team a 'Starry Night' medal!
Everyone on and off the stage simultaneously raised their right hands and gave a standard military salute.
Below the stage, Li Jia, dressed in military uniform, had one arm empty, and his eyes were filled with tears...
