The smile on Li Yifei's face suddenly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at Lin Qiye...
Lin Qiye gave him an affirmative look.
Li Yifei:...
"Gra... Grandma!" Li Yifei obediently opened his arms and embraced the excited Nyx. His smile was uglier than crying, "I've missed you to death too!"
Lin Qiye, watching the show from the side, raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Li Yifei.
As expected of you!
When it comes to making the elderly happy, you really are a professional!
Lin Qiye clearly saw the treatment progress above Nyx's head jump from 21% to 23%. Of course, only he well and Lin Xi Chen could see this progress bar; Li Yifei could not.
Over the past half month, Lin Qiye had come to the Mental Hospital punctually every day to feed Nyx her medicine and chat with her. Under the dual treatment of medication and mental support, Nyx's condition had improved significantly; at the very least, she no longer snuck into the medicine room to hug medicine bottles and cry.
With Li Yifei accompanying her 24 hours a day from now on, it is estimated that her recovery progress will increase significantly, and it shouldn't take long to reach 50%.
By then, he will be able to extract Nyx's second ability.
During this period, Lin Qiye also tried to open the door to the second ward, but unfortunately, it still couldn't be opened. It was likely directly linked to his own Realm, and things like Mental Energy Cultivation could only be done step by step; there was no rushing it.
Fortunately, Lin Qiye had been using the cultivation method taught to him by Wen Qimo during this time and had completely stabilized his "Lamp" Realm. The time to break through to the next Realm would not be too long.
Lin Qiye gave Li Yifei a few more instructions before leaving the Mental Hospital.
The days that followed seemed no different from before. Even though Lin Qiye had successfully completed his first mission, the daily training volume had not decreased in the slightest. Lin Qiye even felt that Chen Muye's blade hit his face even harder...
However, after experiencing this life-and-death struggle, Lin Qiye's coordination with the [Mortal Divine Realm] had become more tacit, and the precision of his mental perception had improved significantly. In the mechanism room, he could already perfectly dodge a shooting frequency of 50 rounds per second and was challenging 100 rounds per second.
If one were to talk about the biggest improvement, it might be Lin Qiye's marksmanship. From initially missing the target every time at thirty meters and barely hitting it at twenty meters, to training all the way to now...
He could now barely guarantee hitting a target within thirty meters!
Lin Qiye still remembered that day when he hit the target at thirty meters for the first time. Using his Mental Energy, he saw Leng Xuan standing behind him with red eyes, quietly wiping away tears...
Then, he tilted his head back and revealed a gratified smile.
At least Lin Xi Chen can handle the marksmanship aspect for Lin Qiye, given that her shooting skills have improved significantly.
Ten days later.
Lin Qiye walked to the door of the captain's office and knocked.
"Come in."
Lin Qiye and Lin Xi Chen entered the room and saw Chen Muye holding a document, reading it carefully.
He looked up at Lin Qiye and said, "In a few days, the training for the new recruits will begin."
Lin Qiye was stunned and Lin Xi Chen was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that a month had passed unknowingly since he joined the Night Watcher.
"Then... should we make any preparations?"
"Hmm, according to previous years, this year's training for the new recruits should also be in Shangjing City. During this time, I will prepare the materials for you guys to take with you."
"By the way, during the training for the new recruits, closed-off management will be adopted. Although daily necessities will be provided there, the quality might not be very good. Later, have Hong Ying take you guys out to buy some things, and I will reimburse you for the expenses."
"Also, the weather in Shangjing City is different from our Cangnan; it's colder. Remember to buy more winter clothes, and put it on my tab..."
"Yippie!!! Captain is the best!"
"Ahem... It's easiest to get injured during training. Remember to find me again tomorrow morning. I'll give you some medicine; the effect of this medicine is much better than others on the market..."
Chen Muye held a small notebook in his hand, carefully instructing Lin Qiye item by item, even explaining clearly which type of berth to buy on the train for the most comfort.
By the time Chen Muye closed the small notebook, more than half an hour had passed.
"Did you write down everything I just said?" Chen Muye looked at Lin Qiye seriously.
Lin Qiye nodded heavily, "Yes, I wrote it all down."
"Good." Chen Muye seemed to remember something else, "You should buy the train ticket to Shangjing City early. People who report early can choose their own dormitories. Buy it while you're out on the street later... buy it for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Are we leaving tomorrow?" Lin Qiye was stunned.
"Huh!?"
"The sooner, the better."
"I understand." Lin Qiye nodded.
"Sob sob I understand..." Lin Xi Chen pouted slightly at having to leave early.
After Lin Qiye left the office, Chen Muye silently took out his wallet and glanced inside...
He sighed faintly.
That afternoon, Hong Ying and Si Xiaonan took Lin Qiye with them and could be said to have walked all over the entire Cangnan City, making up for all the shopping Lin Qiye had never done in his life.
"Wow! Si Xiaonan! That Peppa Pig bed sheet looks so good! Should we buy one for Lin Qiye?"
"Okay, okay!"
"That pink suitcase is also great! Should we buy one?"
"Okay, okay!"
"Si Xiaonan! Look at this Snow White backpack! Isn't it great? Should we..."
"Okay, okay!"
"Wow! Look at that little skirt! It's so pretty! Buy it!"
"Okay, oka... wuwuwu *&@¥#@...*"
Lin Qiye covered Si Xiaonan's mouth tightly and said solemnly:
"Sister Hong Ying, I think... that doesn't suit me but more suited with Xiao C-" Just as Lin Qiye was about to turn his attention to Lin Xichen, his sister immediately cut him off. Ah, he had forgotten that she hated wearing dresses too.
Lin Xin Chen:...
Hong Ying put down the backless dress in her hand with a regretful look and sighed, "That's true... you're a boy, it's not very good for you to wear a dress..."
Immediately after, she picked up the sexy camisole next to it and looked at Lin Xi Chen and Lin Qiye with glowing eyes:
"Then let's buy this one!!"
Lin Qiye:...
Lin Xi Chen:...
It was not until evening that Lin Qiye, carrying big and small bags, stumbled back to his room.
Looking at the colorful mess on the floor, Lin Qiye sat aside and smiled bitterly, but his smile became brighter and brighter...
As he smiled, a faint sadness appeared in his eyes.He looked out the window; the hazy moonlight spilled over the earth,
"Are you leaving..."
...
Early the next morning.
At the entrance of the train station.
Lin Qiye, dragging two large suitcases, stood in front of the train station, with the other members of the 136 Squad behind him.
Lin Xi Chen was also hauling two large suitcases, though at least they were simple—just white and black—since she had managed to stop Hongying from buying her childish items. Even so, she blushed as Hongying and Si Xiaonan busily styled her wig and fussed over her appearance.
"Did you guys bring everything?" Wu Xiangnan spoke first.
"We brought everything."
"Brother Lin Qiye, you must remember to use the sunscreen, hair removal cream, and body lotion I bought for you!" Hong Ying's eyes were red as she stood in the front, saying reluctantly. "The same goes for you, Xiao Chen! A young woman needs to take care of her skin and herself; I've even bought some acne cream and other girl-specific products for you!"
"O-Okay...." Lin Xi Chen blushed out of sheer embarrassment.
"... I will use them, don't worry." Lin Qiye's tone was a bit helpless.
"Lin Qiye." Chen Muye stepped forward, his expression very solemn, "Shangjing City is not like our Cangnan; it's too far away, and there is inherent unfairness in the training... If this were in Cang Nan, we could directly take our blades and kill our way to your side to vent your anger, but in Shangjing City... you can only rely on yourself."
"Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves." Lin Qiye replied seriously.
They bowed slightly to everyone, "Then we're leaving."
He stood up, waved to everyone, and dragged his two suitcases into the train station.
Everyone watched his departing back, their hearts feeling heavy...
Just then, Chen Muye's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"..."
"What!!!"
Chen Muye suddenly raised his head and pointed at Lin Qiye:
"Damn it, stop those kids quickly!!"
Everyone looked back in confusion.
"I don't know what kind of madness the higher-ups have, but this time they actually set the training for the new recruits in Cangnan!"
"Stop them quickly!!"
"Once they enters the station, these tickets cannot be refunded!!"
