Chapter 478: Social Gathering
When Zhou Ping and Huang Yuande walked out of the factory, apart from Jiang Liu, the other members of Team 009 had already been moved to a flat area.
The few “Chuan” realm members who had their powers drained by the “Eternal Secret Garden” were unable to move, while Dan Mei had been knocked out cold by Jialan. The five of them lay in front of the factory’s entrance, creating an indescribably eerie scene.
Seeing Huang Yuande emerge unscathed while holding a thermos, Jiang Liu and the other team members widened their eyes in shock.
“Captain! Are you really okay?!”
“How could I be in trouble?” Huang Yuande waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the people on the ground, a look of knowing in his eyes. “It’s all a misunderstanding…”
Lin Qiye supported Jiang Liu and walked up to Huang Yuande, apologetically saying, “Captain Huang, I’m sorry. We were too abrupt this time…”
“Captain Lin, don’t say that.” Huang Yuande’s lips curled slightly. “Having the opportunity to spar with the future fifth special team is a great opportunity for them.”
“The fifth special team?” Jiang Liu was taken aback by this term, turning to look at the figures wearing Journey to the West masks, his face showing a dawning realization.
So it was the fifth special team…
No wonder they were beaten so badly.
With six against five… oh no, the figure in the corner wearing the Sha Monk mask hadn’t made a move, so it was actually six against four. They were completely wiped out in less than three minutes…
It was a one-sided massacre.
Since they were a special team, it was only natural for them to be put through some hardship.
“Captain Huang, our qualification for formal status hasn’t been restored yet,” Lin Qiye said with a bitter smile.
“With your strength, it’s only a matter of time. The higher-ups have even sent the Sword Saint to teach you. How could they let you fade into obscurity? And if I’m not mistaken, you all didn’t use your full strength, right?” Huang Yuande looked at Lin Qiye helplessly.
Lin Qiye smiled but said nothing.
Of course, they hadn’t used their full strength.
Baili Pangpang had only disarmed twice and hadn’t even revealed any forbidden items. Cao Yuan hadn’t drawn his sword, Jialan hadn’t used “Sky’s Edge,” An Qingyu had only made one move, and Lin Qiye hadn’t used “White Slash” or “Pray for Abyss”…
What they had displayed just now was probably less than a third of their actual strength.
After all, if they had truly gone all out, Team 009 would have been completely eliminated from the Daxia Night Watchman ranks in under a minute.
Of course, even if this was the truth, it couldn’t be openly stated, or it would hurt their pride too much.
“Captain Lin, your goal shouldn’t just be Team 009, right?” Huang Yuande seemed to remember something and asked.
“Yes, Xining is our first stop. Our training targets are Teams 006, 007, 008, and 009,” Lin Qiye replied honestly.
“I see.” Huang Yuande nodded. “With your strength, defeating Team 008 from Lintang City shouldn’t be a problem. Team 007 from Huaihai City has a ‘Klein’ and a ‘Wuliang’ stationed there. If that ‘Klein’ doesn’t intervene, you might win…
But in Shangjing City, there is one ‘Klein’ and two ‘Wuliang’ stationed… Do you have confidence?”
“We can only take it one step at a time.”
Lin Qiye certainly knew how strong the Night Watchmen in Shangjing and Huaihai City were. Apart from the special teams, these two teams represented the peak of Night Watchman strength. While they could easily defeat Team 009, they might not necessarily win against these two teams…
Fortunately, this was just a training exercise, and the higher-ups hadn’t required them to completely defeat all teams, meaning they could afford to lose.
But who likes to lose?
“One more question…” Huang Yuande couldn’t help but ask, “Are you planning to kidnap the local Night Watchman team leader every time you arrive in a city, just like this time, and force the other team members to fight you?”
“That is indeed a problem…” Lin Qiye felt a headache coming on.
Ye Fan’s original intention was to let Zhou Ping use this opportunity to improve his social skills, but in reality, he couldn’t communicate normally with these teams, let alone negotiate… How to face those teams next was still a big issue.
“How about this? I have a good relationship with Li Hong, the captain of the Lintang City Night Watchman team, as we trained together in the same camp. I can help you greet him first, and when you go over, you can just practice normally with them. How does that sound?” Huang Yuande pondered for a moment and said.
Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up. “That would be great, thank you, Captain Huang.”
“No need to thank me. Once you become the fifth special team, you’ll need to help out when Xining is in trouble.” Huang Yuande smiled. “I’ll call Li Hong later. You all should stay in Xining tonight. Let’s have a meal together to clear up any misunderstandings, and you can set off tomorrow.”
“Then we’ll have to impose on you.”
…
Nighttime.
Huang Yuande had reserved two barbecue grills in the park, and members from both teams gathered here, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
“Little brother, how old are you this year?” Dan Mei stood across from the grill, focusing on An Qingyu’s delicate and fair face, speaking softly, the firelight casting a rosy glow on her face.
An Qingyu, who was grilling fish, pushed up her glasses and smiled politely. “I’m twenty this year.”
“Twenty, huh…” Dan Mei’s face broke into a smile. “You look so gentle. Can you guess how old your sister is this year?”
An Qingyu glanced at her. “Twenty-five.”
“Haha, you guessed wrong. I’m actually only twenty-three this year…”
“No, you’re twenty-five.” An Qingyu’s lenses reflected a glimmer of intelligence. “You must have been born in mid-September of 1996.”
“…How did you know?”
An Qingyu certainly didn’t tell her that she could see through the essence of things but smiled mysteriously. “I can tell fortunes.”
“That’s amazing?” Dan Mei leaned closer to An Qingyu, her bright eyes showing a hint of shyness. “Little brother, have you ever been in a relationship?”
“…No.”
“Neither has sister. How about…”
“You’ve been in four relationships.”
“…”
Not far away.
Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan were sitting at a table washing vegetables, glancing at An Qingyu’s direction, clicking their tongues.
“Someone actually dared to flirt with Little Fish. Doesn’t she worry about being dissected in bed one night?”
Cao Yuan pondered for a moment. “He’ll stitch up the dissection marks well, so she might not even notice…”
“That’s true.”
