Chapter 1507 Deputy Captain
Lin Qiye looked up at Gilgamesh’s head, surprise appearing in his eyes.
After returning from the [King’s Treasury], Gilgamesh’s root illness had been completely cured, with the progress bar steadily rising. After not seeing Gilgamesh for so long, the treatment progress had already soared to 89%.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Gilgamesh could be discharged.
Gilgamesh’s gaze swept over Lin Qiye, as if discovering something, and suddenly stared at him intently, his expression somewhat puzzled.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’ve also been to the Ancestral God Temple?”
“How did you know?” Lin Qiye was startled.
“Your body carries the aura of those ancestral gods.” Gilgamesh pondered for a moment, then spoke with some uncertainty, “Is it the Dark Ancestor?”
Only then did Lin Qiye remember that Gilgamesh had explored the Ancestral God Temple long ago.
“You’ve seen him too?”
“No, I only sensed his aura in that stone array.” Gilgamesh examined Lin Qiye, as if looking at something rare, “Those ancestral gods actually gave you their power willingly? Why did this king walk around the stone array and encounter nothing?”
Lin Qiye smiled awkwardly, “By the way, how did you find the Ancestral God Temple?”
“This king was searching for divine artifacts to fill the treasury, and led a fleet sailing at sea for months, accidentally discovering the Ancestral God Temple frozen in Antarctica… This king and his subordinates spent a full half month melting the ice.
However, after melting it, we found nothing inside, only this star coin rotating on the central divine platform, so this king brought it back.
It seems those ancestral gods were guarding against this king.”
Gilgamesh snorted coldly, his expression somewhat displeased.
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly.
From Gilgamesh’s perspective, this was just a treasure hunt… but from the ancestral gods’ viewpoint, Gilgamesh was like a bandit who suddenly broke into their home, searched every corner for treasures, and when he found nothing, simply tore off the door and left.
“Antarctica… Antarctica again?” Lin Qiye muttered.
If he remembered correctly, the source of the mist was Antarctica. Could there be a connection with the existence of the Ancestral God Temple?
After chatting with Gilgamesh for a while, Lin Qiye began walking around the hospital. The sunshine was pleasant, caregivers chatted and moved between the courtyards, and the aroma of food gradually spread to every corner.
The entire hospital ran smoothly under Li Yifei’s management, showing no signs of abnormality, as if only the dark cells underground had malfunctioned.
Lin Qiye sat in the courtyard all morning before withdrawing his consciousness from the hospital.
…
Unlike yesterday’s continuous autumn rain, today’s weather in Beijing was quite nice.
Lin Qiye took advantage of the sunshine to leisurely stroll around the courtyard, then went to the room to check on An Qingyu’s condition.
Whether it was his imagination or not, since coming here, An Qingyu’s sleeping expression seemed to have relaxed somewhat, with only his brows slightly furrowed, as if pondering something.
“Does it seem like his complexion has improved?” Cao Yuan stood beside Lin Qiye, speaking uncertainly.
“It has indeed improved.” Lin Qiye’s lips curved slightly upward, “It seems changing the environment has worked well…”
“What about lunch today? Order takeout?”
“You decide. I need to visit Squad 006’s station again.”
“?” Cao Yuan clicked his tongue, “Always going there for free meals, isn’t that a bit much?”
“This time, it’s not for a free meal,” Lin Qiye said leisurely. “Today, Squad 006’s station should be quite lively…”
Meanwhile.
In the quadrangle courtyard.
Clatter—!
A pair of chopsticks fell to the ground as Fang Mo stared blankly at Lu Baozhu, who walked in from outside carrying bags, frozen in place.
“This isn’t right… I slept well last night, why am I having hallucinations.” Fang Mo rubbed his eyes, blinked hard, and looked again to find a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
“Lu Baozhu?!” Li Zhenzhen exclaimed in shock, “Weren’t you in Huaihai? Why did you come to Beijing?”
Lu Baozhu opened his mouth, about to say something, when a voice came from behind.
“Commander Zuo sent him here.” Lin Qiye patted Lu Baozhu’s shoulder with a smile, “Let me introduce you to your special squad reserve’s temporary vice-captain, Lu Baozhu.”
Hearing the words “vice-captain,” Lu Baozhu’s mouth twitched violently, his expression growing more displeased.
Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen stood stunned for a while before realizing the implications of this statement.
“Commander Zuo agreed to form a new special squad?”
“Lu Baozhu as vice-captain?!”
Bang—!
Lu Baozhu threw his heavy luggage on the ground with his left hand and asked in a deep voice, “Which room is mine?”
“Oh, the wing room on the left is empty, you can go there.” Lin Qiye, extremely familiar with the place, settled Lu Baozhu with just a few words.
Under the gaze of Fang Mo and Li Zhenzhen, he walked into the room with a stern face. Before crossing the threshold, he glanced at Fang Mo, seemingly dissatisfied.
“Lord Seven Nights, what’s going on?” Fang Mo couldn’t help asking once Lu Baozhu was inside.
“When your situation was reported, Lu Baozhu also happened to submit an application to form a reserve team, so Commander Zuo had you merge directly.” Lin Qiye explained slowly, “However, since both you and Lu Baozhu applied to be captain, your performance before official confirmation will determine the final captain… your current position as captain is only temporary.”
“No wonder his eyes looked like he wanted to eat me…” Fang Mo muttered.
After Lu Baozhu finished unpacking, he came out. Seeing that all three were present, Lin Qiye began speaking:
“I believe you already understand the basic situation. In short, the higher-ups have approved your team formation application, and you can now prioritize selecting people from the current Night Watchmen roster to join your squad.
Special squads have strict requirements for personnel numbers, minimum six people, maximum nine. Once the number falls below three, the squad will be forcibly disbanded.
As for the conditions for official confirmation, they’re not complicated. Besides the personnel requirements I just mentioned, the captain… that is, you, Fang Mo, must be at the peak of the ‘Sea’ realm, and other members must also cross the ‘Sea’ realm threshold. Currently, all three of you should have met these conditions.
The final two requirements are that you must have experience defeating an ‘Immeasurable’ realm enemy while being at a lower level, and… have received a collective merit of ‘Star’ level or above.”
