Chapter 985: Games and Programmers
“By the way, I heard you brought back a human prodigy with a divine weapon from Japan?” Left Qing asked casually.
“That’s right.” Lin Qiye glanced at Left Qing’s expression and asked curiously, “Commander Left, you don’t seem surprised?”
“Just a human prodigy, what’s there to be surprised about?”
Left Qing smiled nonchalantly.
“Where is he?”
“Follow me.”
Lin Qiye led Left Qing to the door of a rental apartment.
Through the window, they could see a handsome young boy sitting on the bed, his snow-white hair cascading like a waterfall over the edge, holding a copy of “Qiqi Baby’s Complete Pinyin Guide” and reading it earnestly.
Beside him, Jiang Er floated in the air, her voice coming through a Bluetooth speaker, patiently correcting his pronunciation.
“Desert.”
“Dessert.”
“Sugar.”
“Sugarr.”
“Shami… never mind, let’s skip that one, um… sofa.”
“Ssofa.”
“…”
Left Qing curiously observed Yuzuri Takashiro inside, “So young?”
“He’s only thirteen.” Lin Qiye told Left Qing everything about Yuzuri Takashiro, including the history of the [Divine Calamity] in his possession.
After listening, Left Qing fell silent, looking at Yuzuri Takashiro with complex emotions.
“Commander Left, I have a request.” Lin Qiye said seriously, “Although we brought him back to Da Xia, he doesn’t belong here and has no obligation to follow all the Night Watchmen’s arrangements, plus he’s still young…”
“I understand what you mean.” Left Qing nodded, “We won’t force him to do anything, everything will be based on his own wishes.”
Seemingly hearing their conversation, Yuzuri Takashiro inside looked up, his pure eyes curiously gazing out the window, showing a warm, sunny smile.
“We’re about to head to the training camp, how do you plan to arrange for him?” Lin Qiye turned to look at Left Qing.
Hearing this, Left Qing spoke with surprise, “I thought you were going to take him with you.”
“We’re just going for training, not to war.” Lin Qiye shook his head, “Moreover, he’s never experienced the peaceful life that someone his age should have. Since he’s just arrived in Da Xia and is interested in everything, I want to let him enjoy himself for a while.”
“I understand.” Left Qing nodded, “I don’t speak Japanese, so I’ll send someone who does to look after him.”
“Good.”
After Left Qing left, Lin Qiye stepped into the room.
Bai Li Pangpang and others who were resting in the living room turned around, and seeing Lin Qiye arrive, asked:
“Qiye, what did Commander Left say? Do we have a new mission?”
“Yes, pack your things, we’re heading back to the training camp.”
Everyone exchanged glances and began busying themselves.
“Brother Qiye, are you all going to be busy?” Yuzuri Takashiro blinked his eyes and asked upon seeing this.
Lin Qiye walked up to Yuzuri Takashiro, patted his head, and smiled, “Yes, we brothers have a lot of work to do. Someone will come to find you soon and show you around Da Xia. Can you take care of yourself?”
“Yes.”
“You remember the phone number I gave you, right? If you encounter any problems, call me.” Lin Qiye instructed, “Also, don’t use your abilities in front of ordinary people, understand?”
“I understand.”
“Good boy.”
Lin Qiye stood up and, as if sensing something, walked outside.
In the distant sky, a red dragon carrying a blue-clothed girl was rapidly flying towards them.
The Flame-veined Earth Dragon landed and transformed into Red Yan wearing a caregiver’s uniform. She carried the sleeping Jia Lan in her arms like a princess and walked up to Lin Qiye.
“Director, I’m back.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, sent Red Yan back to the Gods’ Mental Hospital, and carried Jia Lan into the house.
Earlier during the “Human Circle” incident, Lin Qiye had sent Jia Lan away early out of concern for her safety. Now that they were back in Da Xia, he immediately had Red Yan bring her back.
After retrieving the sleeping Jia Lan and packing their belongings, Lin Qiye and the others bid farewell to Yuzuri Takashiro and quickly headed towards the training camp.
…
Watching Lin Qiye and the others leave, Yuzuri Takashiro sat back in the house, conjured a game controller, and started playing games in front of the TV.
Soon after, there was a crisp knock at the door.
Yuzuri Takashiro glanced at the door, his cross-star-like eyes narrowing slightly.
“Level… such a strong aura.”
Yuzuri Takashiro muttered to himself, remembering what Lin Qiye had told him earlier, and still opened his mouth to say somewhat awkwardly in Chinese:
“Come in.”
The door opened.
A man wearing a plaid shirt and a baseball cap walked in from outside.
He first observed Yuzuri Takashiro for a moment, then noticed the game on the TV and made a slight sound of interest.
“Are you Yuzuri Takashiro?” he asked in fluent Japanese.
“Yes.” Yuzuri Takashiro nodded, “Are you here to pick me up?”
“Yes.” The man looked at the controller in his hands, “Do you like playing games?”
“Yeah.”
The man’s eyes lit up slightly as he adjusted his baseball cap,
“Let me introduce myself, I’m Guan Zai… a programmer.”
…
“Ten days to turn those rookies into qualified Night Watchmen?”
In the car, Bai Li Pangpang spoke in shock, “Isn’t that too short?”
“Why such a rush?” Shen Qingzhu was equally puzzled, “These new recruits haven’t even been training for more than four months… In previous years’ recruit training, this would only be a third of the way through.”
Only An Qingyu seemed to realize something, looking at Lin Qiye’s grave expression, and guessed:
“War… is coming?”
“Yes.”
Lin Qiye nodded, “Whether we like it or not, we only have ten days left, after all, war won’t be delayed just because these recruits are green.”
Everyone fell silent.
“Fortunately, from the beginning, we’ve been constantly pushing their potential in a high-pressure environment. Although the training time hasn’t been long, their combat qualities aren’t actually too weak.” Lin Qiye continued, “What they lack is only tempering between life and death.”
“Tempering between life and death…” Cao Yuan pondered for a moment, “How do we do that?”
