Chapter 25 Invitation from the Night Watchman? The Secret of the Change Ability?
At this moment, Liang Feifan noticed Zheng Cheng as well. His expression abruptly changed.
"Damn! This kid is here too. Watch me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure flashed by him heading towards Zheng Cheng.
"Zhixue?"
He was stunned.
Why was Yao Zhixue moving forward so quickly?
Where was she going?
Over to Zheng Cheng?
This kid finally showed up!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yunxiao in front of him also started laughing and walked towards Zheng Cheng.
"What's happening?"
Liang Feifan was shocked.
Not only Yao Zhixue, but why also Zhao Yunxiao...
His father was a normal member of the Night Watchmen.
After using a great deal of effort, he finally became a prospective member of the Night Watchmen.
However, Yao Zhixue was absorbed by the Night Watchmen on the very first day after she awakened her nine-star profession.
He hurriedly went after them: "C-Captain Zhao, do you... Do you know him?"
Zhao Yunxiao turned his head and glanced at him, recalling some information he had gathered earlier, his smile was a bit strange:
"Well, you could say we're acquainted."
"He's a talent that I had my eyes on, but unfortunately, he refused my invitation..."
"What?!"
Liang Feifan was shocked, recalling his father's words.
"Little Fan, it's a great opportunity to follow Captain Zhao; you must work diligently..."
To get him into the Night Watchmen, his father had offered countless gifts and used up many relationships in order for him to become a reserve member.
While Zheng Cheng was directly invited by a team captain!
Only professionists above LV30 could serve as captains of the Night Watchmen.
Each one of them has a direct recommendation slot every year.
Without the need to go through reserve service, one could become a full member of the Night Watchmen.
As for the benefits of joining the Night Watchmen, there were too many to count!
Today, the person recommended by Zhao Yunxiao was Yao Zhixue!
This lofty position that he'd strived hard to secure, was flatly rejected by that little twerp, Zheng Cheng!
When he saw Yao Zhixue indeed going over to Zheng Cheng, his eyes filled with more anger.
"Yao Zhixue? She's here!"
"Look, she's coming towards me."
"Bullshit, she's obviously coming towards me!"
"Why doesn't she have a team?"
"Hmph! seems like she doesn't want to join our team."
"My god, she's so beautiful... She was the campus belle before, but how come she's even prettier now that she's become a professional?"
"Where is she going?"
Many entrants near the entrance were chattering and all eyes were on Yao Zhixue.
At the same time, Cai Kun also got excited: "Fuck! Brother Xiao, look, Yao Zhixue is coming towards us."
"Could it be that she's coming for me..."
"Piss off!"
Chen Xiao said confidently: "She's definitely coming for me!"
"I'm the only five-star MT in the school, who else would she go for?"
"Hehehe, if Yao Zhixue invites me to join her team, do you think I should say yes..."
"Fuck! Brother Xiao, remain true to your friends, will you?"
While others were excitedly discussing, Zheng Cheng had a sense of unease in his heart.
Sure enough.
Yao Zhixue walked up to him and stopped.
"Zheng Cheng, we meet again."
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Zheng Cheng responded with a strained smile on his face.
"Fuck…Brother Cheng, you two know each other?"
"What's Yao Zhixue doing being here with you?"
"Brother Cheng...no, Lord Cheng!"
Yao Zhixue surveyed Chen Xiao and others before saying: "Can we go somewhere else to talk?"
"Holy shit!"
Chen Xiao and the others were even more excited.
"Quick! Brother Cheng! Go!"
"Damn, Brother Cheng, you were hiding your talents. You've gotten to Yao Zhixue so quickly!"
"Awesome! From now on, you're my Brother Cheng~!"
Under the excited discussion of a few 'animals', Zheng Cheng followed Yao Zhixue to a vacant spot, rather reluctantly.
Behind them, the other classmates broke out in a buzz of discussions.
"Who's that?"
"It's Zheng Cheng from Class 4! I know him, he awakened a three-star Priest."
"Zheng Cheng... the one with that diarrhea-inducing ability? Holy shit!"
"Impressive..."
Hearing the discussions in the back, Zheng Cheng felt a chill crawl up his scalp.
He did like beauties, but he loathed trouble even more.
And beauties often implied trouble.
Especially Yao Zhixue, she was a massive pain in the neck!
With resignation, he said, "Yao Zhixue, I've agreed to keep your secret. There's no need to throw me into the fire, is there?"
Yao Zhixue's face reddened, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I called you over not for that matter!"
"Then what is it for?"
"I asked Zhixue to bring you here." Zhao Yunxiao walked up at this moment, smiling, "Zheng Cheng, I quite appreciate your potential."
"Today, I'm officially inviting you to join us as Night Watchmen. What do you think?"
Zheng Cheng frowned, "Join the Night Watchmen... what's in it for me?"
"Once you join the Night Watchmen, you'll immediately receive the official title of a Professionist, and we will cover all costs of your college life for the next four years. You can also become a civil servant under Xia Country's jurisdiction, with the right to investigate any crime within Xia Country."
"Additionally, we'll provide you with a separate living place, and even the lowest-ranking Night Watchman receives a monthly salary of one hundred gold coins."
"After completing missions, you will receive bonuses from our office..."
Zhao Yunxiao eloquently exhausts all the benefits of becoming a Night Watchman.
"All these benefits?" Zheng Cheng asked.
Zhao Yunxiao nodded eagerly, "Of course, Zheng Cheng. In our Xia Country, the Night Watchmen receive the best benefits!"
Zheng Cheng laughed, "Can I refuse for now?"
"You... what? You're refusing?" Zhao Yunxiao asked in astonishment, "Why?"
Zheng Cheng said, "I haven't decided yet, I'll let you know when I have..."
What the hell?
What does 'haven't decided yet' mean?
Zhao Yunxiao immediately cut off Zheng Cheng, "Don't be rushed to refuse. If you join the Night Watchmen and earn enough merits, the benefits you'll receive could beyond your imagination."
"Beyond my imagination..."
Zheng Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "I want to know... among the Night Watchmen, are there any with abilities similar to mine?"
Zhao Yunxiao made a strange expression, "The diarrhea-inducing one?"
"No no no..."
Zheng Cheng shook his head, "I meant very special abilities. Common powers but special abilities. Or to put it another way, unique ones..."
"Well..." Zhao Yunxiao's eyes shifted, "Of course there are!"
"Every year we recruit Night Watchmen, we don't just look at the star rank of their professions, we also look at their uniqueness."
"For instance, hidden or unique professions. Even if they are the lowest-ranked three-star Professionists, we'll also take them in."
"Professionists with special abilities are included too."
"There's even a special department within the Night Watchmen to study the particularities of these Professionists and uncover their secrets."
Zhao Yunxiao shook his head, "Unfortunately, despite over a hundred years of the Night Watchmen's existence, nothing has come out of these studies."
"Oh, is that so..."
Zheng Cheng muttered.
He wanted to know the secret of his ability.
Was it just unique to him, a mutation?
Or did other Professionists also have these mutant abilities?
Seeing Zheng Cheng silent, Zhao Yunxiao added another promise, "Joining the Night Watchmen has another advantage."
"What's that?"
"You won't be forced to serve in the military. Even if you don't want to, you won't be compelled to go to the Alien Battlefield."
"But of course, till now none of the Night Watchmen have used this privilege."
Zhao Yunxiao reiterated, "After all, for over three hundred years, the Alien Battlefield has been related to the existence of all the Blue Star inhabitants."
"As a Professionist, whether ordinary, Night Watchmen, or a part of the military, everyone should head to the Alien Battlefield and contribute to the survival of the humans."
"I'll think about it."
