Lin Qiye watched the Medusa Agent being carried around like cargo by Yang Yi, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. The woman was now tied up like a festive rice dumpling, her eyes filled with terror and despair.
"Brother Yang... is this really appropriate?"
Yang Yi waved his hand casually.
The Medusa Agent instantly shrank to the size of a palm.
"Just a little figurine I picked up on the way."
He then conjured an exquisite glass jar out of thin air. Ignoring Medusa's terrified struggles, he stuffed her directly inside.
"A desk ornament for the training camp."
"Pretty nice, right?"
Lin Qiye felt his scalp go numb. The twisted humor and overwhelming power of this so-called cousin were far beyond anything he could understand.
The rookie training notice had already been issued.
Before leaving, Lin Qiye decided to make one more trip to the Asylum for the Gods. If possible, he hoped to obtain a few more abilities before heading to the training camp.
Yang Yi naturally insisted on "accompanying" him.
Inside the asylum, a strangely heartwarming scene was unfolding.
Nyx was holding Patrick-Merlin in her arms and fussing over him affectionately, while the pink starfish—who believed Nyx to be Plankton—was passionately explaining the philosophy of life.
"My dear grandson, how are you feeling today?"
"Plankton, I'm great! SpongeBob and I just went jellyfish hunting!"
The two of them were completely talking past each other.
Yet they seemed incredibly happy.
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched again.
No matter how many times he saw it, this bizarre scene still felt surreal.
Right at that moment, the system notification appeared.
Nyx treatment progress has reached 50%.
You have gained one gacha opportunity.
The familiar gacha wheel appeared before him.
Lin Qiye took a breath and activated it.
The pointer spun rapidly before slowly stopping.
Lin Qiye looked at the result.
His composure instantly collapsed.
[Super Fertility]
Lin Qiye froze.
Had he forgotten to pray today?
What kind of cursed ability was this?
With a broken heart, he went to Slaanesh's prison.
The moment Slaanesh sensed Yang Yi's aura, she immediately curled up in the corner, letting out incomprehensible mournful cries filled with desperate pleading.
Yang Yi showed a gentle smile.
"Spin again."
Under the pressure of Yang Yi's friendly gaze, Lin Qiye nervously activated the wheel again.
The pointer rotated before finally stopping.
Lin Qiye stared blankly.
[Transcendent Mating]
His vision darkened.
He nearly fainted on the spot.
What kind of monstrous abilities were these?
Seeing Lin Qiye standing there with a pale face and a completely defeated expression, Yang Yi finally stopped teasing him.
He snapped his fingers.
A strange pixelated mod made of countless tiny blocks appeared in the air and instantly merged into Lin Qiye's soul.
[Better Breeding Mod]
Yang Yi patted Lin Qiye's shoulder and began explaining seriously.
"This mod allows you to force creatures in the real world to perform the 'great harmony of life' by feeding them certain Minecraft items."
"Golden Apples."
"Golden Carrots."
"Enchanted Golden Apples."
"And many more items you can unlock later."
"Whether they are allies or enemies, even different species—it doesn't matter."
"The gestation process is skipped completely."
"They produce offspring instantly."
"And those offspring inherit the best traits of both parents."
Lin Qiye felt his worldview shatter yet again.
Yang Yi suppressed his laughter and continued calmly.
"When combined with Super Fertility and Transcendent Mating, the result is incredible."
"One plus one plus one will be far greater than one hundred."
"I'll leave the creative applications to you."
Lin Qiye immediately imagined a battlefield.
Enemies were fighting fiercely—
Then suddenly they stopped.
And began giving birth.
Not just once.
But producing entire broods on the spot.
A powerful sense of social suicide washed over him.
If he ever used such an ability, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Just as Lin Qiye was worrying about his future reputation, an urgent message arrived from Wu Xiangnan.
"Lin Qiye, emergency notice."
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the rookie training camp originally planned at the Kyoto secret base has been relocated."
"The new location is the outskirts of Cangnan City."
Lin Qiye froze.
The training camp had been moved to Cangnan?
At the same time, inside the top floor of the Baili Group building in Guangzhou, Baili Tuming was excitedly packing his luggage.
"Haha! Time to go to Cangnan and show what I've got!"
The nickname Lin Qiye would later give him was Baili Fatty.
It was a very accurate nickname.
His physique was impressively round.
His room was filled with all sorts of strange equipment and props.
"This time I'm definitely going to make more friends!"
Baili Fatty stuffed mysterious boxes into his spatial storage device, his eyes shining with excitement.
Meanwhile, deep within the Jiuhua Mountains, inside an ancient temple—
The young Buddhist successor Cao Yuan knelt before the old abbot.
"Master, are you certain my benefactor is in Cangnan?"
The old abbot nodded kindly.
"The secrets of heaven reveal that your turning point lies in that city."
"Go, child."
"Find your benefactor."
"And find your path."
Cao Yuan stood up and began his journey toward Cangnan.
On the outskirts of Cangnan City, a massive militarized training camp had appeared overnight.
Advanced training facilities were arranged neatly throughout the area.
Chief Instructor Yuan Gang stood in the command center, staring at the recruit list with a headache.
Several names on the list gave him serious concern.
Baili Tuming — the sole heir of the Baili Group.
Cao Yuan — wielder of the high-risk Forbidden Domain "Black King's Execution."
Lin Qiye — Agent of Dual Gods.
Yang Yi — listed as Lin Qiye's cousin and also an Agent of Dual Gods.
And several other recruits with terrifying abilities.
Yuan Gang took a deep breath.
He had a strong feeling that this year's rookie training would gather an unprecedented group of troublemakers.
To prevent these little monsters from tearing the world apart, he decisively used higher-level authority to request reinforcement.
The call connected.
"Headquarters? This is Yuan Gang."
"Immediately dispatch the Mask Squad to Cangnan to assist with training."
Yuan Gang glanced at the recruit list again and sighed.
Lin Qiye had no idea that his reputation had already spread among the higher ranks of the Night Watchmen.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiye quietly sealed away those three cursed abilities in the deepest corner of his mind.
He prayed that he would never have to use them.
Beside him, Yang Yi was leisurely playing with the Medusa trapped inside the glass jar.
"So, little figurine."
"How fun do you think this training camp will be?"
Medusa trembled inside the jar, not daring to answer.
All she wanted was to escape this terrifying man.
Looking at Yang Yi's excited expression, Lin Qiye suddenly felt a heavy sense of dread.
This rookie training camp...
Was destined to be anything but peaceful.
