Hearing Zheng Cheng’s question, Zhao Yunxiao fell silent for a few seconds before opening her mouth to answer, “This is the answer to the question you asked me in the car.”
“Yao Zhixue is not the bait to lure out the master of the ck Sun. “We’ve made the mostprehensive n to ensure Zhixue’s safety.”
“For this, even our Director appeared.”
“And them…”
Zhao Yunxiao looked at Xu Chicheng, Pu Jia, and the three still ying the game and said, “They are the top team leaders in our Night Watchmen
Sub-Bureau of Chang’an City. Within the Night Watchmen, they all rank in the Mystic Tier.”
“There are several other team leaders monitoring the ck Sun Church from the periphery right now.”
“In addition, we’ve mobilized over fifty regr members, hiding in Weihe Town.”
“This operation is specifically aimed at wiping out the ck Sun Church entirely!”
“I see…” Zheng Cheng had a sudden realization, “It seems I misunderstood you.”
“But… isn’t Yao Zhixue still the bait?”
“You…”
Zhao Yunxiao was exasperated, why was this kid not ying by the rules? “By the way, what do you mean by ‘Mystic Tier’ members?”
Zhao Yunxiao exined, “With four elements – Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Human, Night Watchmen members are split into five ranks based on strength and merit.”
“The higher the rank, the greater the benefits they receive each month and the higher their status in the Night Watchmen.”
“The rights to use, borrow, or ess to advanced skill books, equipment, and tools within the Night Watchmen not only require merit points but also the corresponding rank.”
“Newly joined members like you and Yao Zhixue are at the lowest rank, Human Tier.”
Yao Zhixue suddenly added, “Zheng Cheng, I’m aware of this n too. You don’t need to me Yunxiao and the others.’
Zheng Cheng questions, “You knew? But the Master of the ck Sun is a powerful Lv79 game character, just one step away from Epic level…
Yao Zhixue cracked a faint smile, “Tradition has it that a thief will operate for a thousand days, but no one can be on guard for a thousand days.”
“Even if I were to hide away permanently, the Master of the ck Sun would still give me troubles.”
“Why not seize this opportunity to nip them in the bud?” “I trust Yunxiao and the others!”
“Zheng Cheng, right? Have you ever yed any games?”
Suddenly, a faint voice sounded next to Zheng Cheng’s ear. He instinctively turned his head.
There was a small human-like clown puppet perched on a pir, staring down at him.
The puppet was decked out in red and green, it wasrge-headed and small-bodied, with a pale face and deep-set, red eyes. It looked extremely strange and scary.
Zheng Cheng cautiously asked, “What game are you talking about?”
The clown puppet replied, “Any game will do.”
At this moment, a young man ying a game in the distance stood up and walked over.
The young man had a paleplexion, was slightly handsome, but reeked heavily of alcohol.
The clown puppet then climbed down from the pir and jumped onto the young man’s shoulder.
“A game is nothing more than a strategic deployment of troops.”
The young man said, “Now, we already know the inside and out of the ck
Sun Church. On the other hand, the ck Sun Church knows nothing.” “The ck Sun Church is nothing but a tiny group of Fallen Ones.” “Even the Master of the ck Sun is just a frail, old woman.”
“None of the others from Dawn Nine Suns wille and help.”
“With superior forces against the ck Sun Church, how can we possibly lose?”
“The advantage lies with us!”
Zheng Cheng fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, “It seems, I was overthinking. You are…”
Zhao Yunxiao interjected, “You can call him Meng Fusheng (character provided by a book friend). He’s also one of the team leaders of Night Watchmen in Chang’an City. He’s a Puppeteer Professionist by trade.”
She then whispered, “Usually, keep some distance from him. This guy is quick-witted but has a liking for getting drunk.”
“Once he starts, even I can’t control him.”
Zheng Cheng curled his mouth, nodded and said, “I understand.”
What kind of people are in these Night Watchmen?
A female violent maniacs, a sexually ambiguous little red riding hood, a sleazy muscleman.
At this moment, another drunk puppet master appeared.
“Fine, you guys y on your own.” Zhao Yunxiao shouted, “I’ll take him to see the Director.”
The others stayed behind while Zheng Cheng was led by Zhao Yunxiao to a room on the second basement level.
“Director.”
“Come in!”
Upon opening the door, they saw a huge desk.
The wall behind the desk had been converted into a bookshelf stocked full of various books.
Behind the desk sat an imposing middle-aged man.
This man was Shen Nanfeng, the Director of the Night Watchmen branch in Chang’an City.
Zhao Yunxiao spoke, “Director, Zheng Cheng has agreed to join us, the Night
Watchmen. Plus… he knows about the ck Sun Church now.”
“Hmm?” Shen Nanfeng asked curiously, “How did you find out?”
Zheng Cheng exined, “I ran into a ssmate in town, she was lured into joining the ck Sun Church.”
“I see… ‘
Shen Nanfeng smiled and said, “Zheng Cheng, since you’ve agreed to join the Night Watchmen, consider us family.”
“You can also join this mission.”
Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “Director, I’m just a tiny LV4 newbie professionist. It seems a little beyond me to be involved in wiping out a huge organization like the ck Sun Church.”
“Don’t worry.”
Shen Nanfeng shook his head and said, “We won’t make you fight and kill. All you have to do is keep up your current role, keep apanying Yao Zhixue on sub-dungeons to level up.”
“Keep things as normal, confuse the ck Sun Church’s people.” “Ideally, within two days, get Yao Zhixue’s level up to LV5!”
“As soon as the ck Sun Church makes a move, and the Church’s leader appears, you can withdraw.”
Zheng Cheng asked, “Why does it need to be LV5?”
Shen Nanfeng tapped on the desk, thought for a moment and then said, “The race that the master of the ck Sun Church reincarnated into is a Soul-Sucking Banshee. This race possesses the innate ability to control the souls of the living andmunicate with them.”
“Their tribe’s secret technique even allows them to extract their own soul and imnt it into another living being.”
“It can also be seen as soul possession!”
“As long as the spiritual fluctuations of both parties are simr, it can consume the other, thus upying the body of the living and living a second life!”
“And for the leader of the ck Sun Church to possess a body, Yao Zhixue’s level and strength can’t be too weak or too strong.”
“If she’s too weak, Yao Zhixue’s soul won’t be able to hold on and she will die instantly.”
“If she’s too strong, her resistance will also be greater and the amount of soul power consumed by the leader of the ck Sun Church will be higher.” “Therefore, LV5 is the best choice! The highest level cannot exceed LVIO-!”
“No wonder…” Zheng Cheng suddenly realized, “No wonder Song Chaoyu said that the people from the ck Sun Church were nning to act the day after tomorrow…”
“The day after tomorrow?!”
Shen Nanfeng asked seriously, “Is that when they are specifically nning to move?”
“That’s what my ssmate told me. Her mother was tricked into the ck Sun
Church and she was also pulled in.”
“I see…”
Shen Nanfeng said, “No matter when they n to act, we must be ready.”
“Over the next two days, you should keep apanying Yao Zhixue on sub-dungeons. We will have people secretly protecting her.”
“Once the people from the ck Sun Church make a move, that’s our chance!”
Zheng Cheng nodded, “I understand.”
Shen Nanfeng smiled again and said, “Under normal circumstances, new members of the Night Watchmen would start with some simple tasks. But this is an exceptional circumstance that you’re involved in this operation.” “For this reason, we’ll make extra contributions for you.”
“If you have any requests that we can fulfill, you can make them now!”
“Really?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes sparkled as he said, “I need to learn the skill of a Priest.”
“Also, I’d like to learn about any special skills recorded within the Night
Watchmen… ‘
“Sure..”
