Chapter 45: Chapter 45: You, Use Yao Zhixue as Bait!
Translator: 549690339
“You…you’re using Yao Zhixue as bait!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the jeep fell silent.
Zhao Yunxiao did not retort, nor did she make any excuses.
In the entire cabin, only the faint sound of the engine could be heard.
Zheng Cheng frowned, why wasn’t Zhao Yunxiao explaining?
Furthermore…
This Master of the Black Sun, it turns out he is a Reincarnee!
The so-called Reincarnee, is someone who obtains a reincarnation tool by various means, and after using it, turns their bloodline and physique into a half-different race!
Completing a reincarnation task is extremely difficult.
Once reincarnated, the professionist becomes a baby again, half-human, half-different race.
The mystery of creation, learning to walk, young and fragile.
At that time, even an ordinary person could kill him!
But once a reincarnatee grows up, they don’t need to reach adulthood, just around the age of five or six, they can awaken the talents of the reincarnated race.
Coupled with the addition of professional skills, their combat power grows rapidly and can far surpass ordinary professionist.
For reincarnates, the most crucial ability is to obtain racial talents corresponding to their race.
And for the promotion quest…
Zheng Cheng frowned, he had no idea how difficult his promotion quest would
After all, he had never heard of a priest having a mutation in his skill before!
“Screech…!”
While Zheng Cheng was still thinking, the jeep suddenly stopped in front of the military camp.
“We’re here! Get out of the car!”
Zhao Yunxiao opened the car door and led the way out.
And Zheng Cheng followed closely behind.
In front of the camp, there stood a young girl.
Yao Zhixue.
“Sister Yunxiao!”
Seeing Zhao Yunxiao, Yao Zhixue ran over happily.
Then, she pretended to see Zheng Cheng for the first time: “Huh? Zheng
Cheng, why are you here too?”
Zheng Cheng shrugged: “From now on, we might be colleagues.”
Yao Zhixue’s eyes lit up slightly: “You agreed to join the Night Watchmen?”
“Yes.”
Zheng Cheng nodded: “Because of some special reasons, I want to seek answers from the Night Watchmen.”
“Let’s go!”
Zhao Yunxiao led the way: “I’ll take you to meet some people.”
Under Zhao Yunxiao’s guidance, the three of them headed towards a building in the camp.
“I will report your joining to the director.”
“After returning from Weihe Town, I will take you to the bureau for other formalities.’
“No problem.”
Soon, the three of them entered a building.
Following the stairs, they surprisingly arrived at a basement.
A spacious underground space appeared before Zheng Cheng’s eyes.
All sorts of exercise equipment and recreational facilities were available.
There was even a large fighting stage in the side of the underground training ground.
Except for a sparse few, the training ground was empty.
“This is the Night Watchmen’s secret base.”
Zhao Yunxiao explained: “Only members of the Night Watchmen with the rank of captain or above are eligible to enter!”
With Zhao Yunxiao’s voice, the three people all turned their heads towards them.
Two of them walked towards them.
The last one, a scruffy looking man, stayed firmly planted in front of the arcade machine, engrossed in his game.
Zheng Cheng took a glance and was surprised. He was playing King of Fighters, a game popular over three hundred years ago!
He didn’t react to their arrival at all.
“Yunxiao- You’re finally back-!”
The moment a man with fiery red hair spotted Zhao Yunxiao, he spread his arms wide and pounced towards her.
Zhao Yunxiao stepped back a bit, caught his pounce with a backwards grab, and threw him on the floor, face-first.
The handsome face slammed onto the floor.
“Yunxiao, you’re still so heartless-”
The red-haired man struggled to get up: “Just a little more, I could have touched your little hand-”
“Scram!”
Zhao Yunxiao didn’t mince words: “Little Red Riding Hood, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll castrate you!”
“Yunxiao, you’re still as ruthless as ever- And, stop calling me Little Red Riding
Hood, it’s an awful nickname.’
“Alright then, Little Red Riding Hood.”
“So annoying~”
The redhead man got up enticingly, scanning up and down Zheng Cheng, asked curiously: “Who’s this handsome lad?”
“Zheng Cheng.” Zhao Yunxiao explained: “My new recruit.”
“New recruit?” The redhead man looked puzzled: “Didn’t you use up all your recommendation quota for this year, how…”
“Zheng Cheng was specially recruited by the Director.”
“Specially recruited…” The redhead man’s face changed suddenly: “I heard back at the office that besides the nine-star profession genius from the twelfth school, there’s also a genius who can make people have diarrhea…”
“It’s not him, is it?”
Zheng Cheng looked a bit complicated.
What’s a genius?
Zhao Yunxiao nodded in silence: “Yes, it’s him.”
“Oh my-I”
The redhead man exclaimed with admiration, “Kid, you’re pretty exceptional! We Night Watchmen need talents like you.”
“I’ve seen many unusual skills, but yours is certainly the most unique I’ve come across…”
Zhao Yunxiao cut him off: “This kid is Xu Chicheng, you can call him Little Red Riding Hood. Despite his slacker appearance, he’s a seven-star Flame Walker professionist!” “Level 69! He’s a captain of the Night Watch in Chang’an branch, just like me!”
“Level 69!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, he didn’t expect the youth in front of him to be such a high level!
Every professionist has an obstacle challenges during their level up, mostly on the levels with nine.
Level 9, Level 19, Level 29… and even Level 69, Level 79 etc, all have their corresponding obstacle tasks.
And each professionist has unique tasks at the same level.
Even if they are of the same profession, their tasks are different!
The higher the level, the harder the task.
Especially after Level 69, the difficulty exponentially escalates.
Countless professionists, unable to complete these tasks, remain stagnant at their current level.
Especially at Level 69, the number is even more!
“Captain Xu.”
Zheng Cheng greeted him, and Xu Chicheng looked even more intrigued: “Interesting. I’d like to try your skill someday…”
The faces of the group turned weird.
What skill is he trying?
The Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique?
Such odd hobbies?
“That’s enough.” Zhao Yunxiao interrupted Xu Chicheng, saying, “And this one,
Pu Jia (character suggested by a reader), you can call him Captain Pu.”
“He is the most ‘reliable’ shield of our Night Watch Chang’an branch. As for his profession, you’ll find out later.”
Zhao Yunxiao emphasized the word ‘reliable’ when speaking.
It’s unclear what he meant.
Pu Jia is a burly middle-aged man with muscles bulging everywhere. He laughed heartily and said, “Lad, just call me Old Jia, I have high hopes for you.” “Being valued so highly by the Director means you have great potential.’
Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched.
What potential?
“Hello Captain Pu, please take care of me in the future…”
“Of course!” Pu Jia came over, pinched Zheng Cheng’s arm, and shook his head:
“Kid, you’re way too skinny. You should exercise with me!”
“Don’t worry, old Jia guarantees you’ll be a muscle man in three months! When the ladies see you, they’ll drool, hehehe…’
The last two sentences were whispered, only audible to the two of them.
Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched as he looked at Pu Jia’s muscular body, and he awkwardly nodded: “Good, okay, okay…”
He decided in his heart that as soon as he left here, he’d go to school.
There’s no way he’d exercise with Pu Jia.
Are you kidding?
I’m a Priest, you know!
I can’t be expected to go toe-to-toe with monsters with my scepter, right?
“Okay, now that introductions are done, let’s go see the Director.”
“Introduction’s over?”
Zheng Cheng glanced subconsciously at the young man playing games not far away. Isn’t he… a person too?
And… the Director?
“The Director of the Night Watch…. why is he here?”
