Chapter 336: Captain Lin Qiye
Lin Qiye was left speechless.
The three people beside him nodded repeatedly at Ye Fan’s words; they understood better than anyone else just how great Lin Qiye’s potential was.
A prodigy among prodigies?
Isn’t that Lin Qiye!
Of course, you have many issues—insufficient strength, lack of experience, and potential mental health risks… So whether you can actually become the captain is a highly controversial topic among the higher-ups of the Night Watchers.
Ye Fan paused for a moment before continuing, “So, I’m not asking you to become the captain of the fifth special team right now. You need to prove your qualifications to everyone through your actions and time.”
Moreover, the establishment of a special team doesn’t happen overnight…
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye’s confusion deepened.
So what you mean is…
To establish a reserve team. Ye Fan spoke slowly.
A reserve team?
That is, a special team that is not officially recognized by the Night Watchers as a special team. Ye Fan took out a document and handed it to Lin Qiye.
From a documentation standpoint, this team does not exist; it does not belong to any ordinary team stationed in the city, nor is it part of the special team hierarchy. This team is like a ghost, fulfilling the functions of a special team. Whenever a city or uninhabited area encounters an event that the local team cannot handle, it will go there to assist them.
Bai Li Pangpang couldn’t help but ask, “Since this team doesn’t exist and there are no records about them, how can we prove our identity to the local Night Watchers?”
Ye Fan shrugged helplessly; without records, there was naturally no way to prove it.
If we can’t prove our identity, how would they believe us? Cao Yuan frowned and spoke up. A team claiming to be a special team but not listed in the records suddenly appearing would hardly be believed, right? It might even raise their suspicions, and they could turn hostile…
So the best approach is to avoid direct contact with the local Night Watch teams. Ye Fan said calmly. This is also one of the assessment requirements for the reserve team. Since it is a special team, it must have the ability to handle various situations independently, completing tasks perfectly even under pressure from both sides without relying on any external forces. Only in this way can it possess extraordinary decision-making power under extreme conditions.
Lin Qiye listened for a long time and then frowned as he spoke:
So this reserve team… is a ghost team fulfilling the functions of a special team?
You can understand it that way. Ye Fan nodded. Once the conditions to become a true special team are met, this reserve team will immediately be promoted to the fifth special team, fulfilling the special functions of the fifth special team.
What conditions?
First, the team must have at least six members and no more than nine;
Second, the team leader, which is you, must reach the peak of the ‘Sea’ realm;
Third, all team members except the leader must have crossed the threshold of the ‘Sea’ realm;
Fourth, the team must have experience in defeating ‘Wuliang’ realm enemies;
Fifth, the team must have achieved significant merit, earning a collective honor of ‘Star’ or above, and this medal must belong to the entire team, not an individual. Therefore, the medal you earned in the training camp does not count.
Upon hearing these conditions, Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
Among these five conditions, aside from the first, the others are all standards that require hard power. Achieving so many at once is not a simple task.
So what exactly is the special function of the fifth special team?
Ye Fan shook his head. This cannot be disclosed right now. The functions of the fifth special team are highly confidential, and you will only have the authority to review them once you officially become the captain of the fifth special team.
Lin Qiye hesitated and asked, “What if I refuse to become the captain of this… reserve team?”
That is your right to choose. Even if you refuse, nothing will happen to you. Ye Fan smiled as he spoke. However, I brought you out of the mental hospital based on this document. If you refuse, then the document will naturally become invalid, and I can only send you back to the Sunshine Mental Hospital for observation for three to five years…
Three to five years?
Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly. Could this threat be any more obvious?!
Lin Qiye glanced at Bai Li Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and An Qingyu. They were all looking into his eyes, their gazes seemingly filled with anticipation…
By the way, I want to ask something. Lin Qiye suddenly thought of something. If I become the captain, will I decide the members of this reserve team myself, or will it be appointed by the higher-ups of the Night Watchers?
You are the captain, so you have absolute authority in selecting team members. You also have the special right to recruit non-Night Watchers as team members. This means that if you find a non-Night Watcher with great potential, you can directly allow them to skip the review and training stages to become a Night Watcher, provided they are willing.
If you cannot find suitable members, you can also apply to the higher-ups of the Night Watchers, who will provide a list of highly potential candidates among the Night Watchers. You have the authority to forcibly recruit any Night Watcher into the team.
Ye Fan’s lips curled slightly. This is just for the reserve team captain; the powers of a special team captain are even greater… far beyond your imagination.
Lin Qiye turned to look at An Qingyu, who winked at him, smiling silently.
It feels like the power to recruit non-Night Watchers into the Night Watchers was tailor-made for An Qingyu…
And one more thing, I can reveal something to you. Ye Fan seemed to think of something and spoke again.
Lin Qiye looked up at him.
The functions of the fifth special team are related to what lies beyond the fog…
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly constricted.
What lies beyond the fog?
What is beyond the fog? Is it the other countries that have become ruins? Is it the terrifying toxins that cause death upon inhalation? Or… the outer gods that lurk between their respective divine realms?
Two names suddenly flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind.
Loki, Gaia.
Unconsciously, Lin Qiye’s fists slowly clenched, and an unusual light flickered in his eyes.
Perhaps this is his best opportunity to come into contact with the outer gods…?
After pondering for a long time, Lin Qiye could find no reason to refuse. He took a deep breath and slowly spoke:
Alright, I am willing to be the captain.
