The next morning.
Ye Lan proactively sought out the Leader.
In the office, the Leader was conversing with Ye Lan.
"Um... Leader, can I go back today?"
Ye Lan cautiously asked, still very concerned about when she could return.
The Leader remained silent for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Actually, we're still testing the possibility of the Dream Narrator's presence. We need at least a week to reach a definitive conclusion. How about... you stay here for another week?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Leader suddenly saw Ye Lan's expression change.
Her eyes were now full of mist, with an expression on the verge of tears.
Seeing this, the Leader hastily changed his words: "Alright, alright, you can go back today. I won't keep you here."
"Yay!"
Ye Lan cheerfully raised her hands in celebration, the pitiful expression from earlier had long disappeared, clearly an act.
Even as a loli, one must skillfully use loli-exclusive techniques.
Sometimes, acting cute can solve many problems!
Seeing this scene, the Leader let out a light sigh, not saying anything more.
He had thought that during this time, Ye Lan might have developed more trust in the Night Watchers, at least to voluntarily disclose her relationship with the Rising Sun Troupe.
This might have presented a possibility to set a precedent.
But now it seemed that no Night Watcher in the capital had fully gained Ye Lan's trust.
If that's the case, they could only rely on those in Yunzhang City.
At this moment, the Leader suddenly remembered something and said to the excited Ye Lan: "Speaking of which, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Ye Lan, one of the capital's Radiant Sun Night Watchers, didn't you want to get an exclusive vehicle?"
Hearing these words, Ye Lan's eyes lit up. She quickly approached the Leader's desk with an eager and adorable expression.
"I want it! Bring it on quickly!"
"Heh~ I can't bring such a large vehicle to you. Would you like to follow me to the garage to take a look? After all, Radiant Sun Night Watchers' cars aren't all the same. Perhaps you should try selecting one yourself."
"Is that so? Then let's go!"
Anyway, Ye Lan was now impatient.
This is a flying car!
Whether in the past or now, owning one's own car is always an impressive thing!
However, current flying cars are not ordinarily expensive, and those with better performance are even more outrageous.
Although Ye Lan could buy one if she gritted her teeth, she would still feel the pain for a long time, and that car might not even suit her.
But Night Watchers' cars are different.
Not only can she get one for free, but she can also drive it herself. Ye Lan was very much looking forward to this!
Then the Leader called Ji Yun in.
"Leader."
Ji Yun quickly walked into the office from outside, approaching the Leader.
"Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Take us both to the Radiant Sun Night Watchers' garage. This newly promoted Radiant Sun Night Watcher beside me needs to select a car."
"??"
Ji Yun was immediately confused, almost unable to react.
What's this?
Radiant Sun Night Watcher?
Is it Ye Lan?
How can such a cute loli become a Radiant Sun Night Watcher—an authoritative position at headquarters?
The style doesn't match at all!
But seeing Ye Lan's eager and expectant expression, Ji Yun didn't inquire further.
Perhaps the Leader was just coddling this little cutie.
Yes, it must be so.
Ji Yun put aside other thoughts and placed her hands on Ye Lan and the Leader's shoulders, then activated her Star.
In the next second, the three figures instantly disappeared from their original location.
The three figures appeared on a certain floor of the garage in the headquarters building.
Ye Lan excitedly looked around, seeing many cool flying cars, full of technological sense, looking very tempting.
"Are these the exclusive flying cars for Radiant Sun Night Watchers?" Ye Lan inquired.
The Leader nodded lightly.
"Yes, you can choose one from among them. However, some already have owners. You can select from the remaining few."
At this time, Ji Yun brought a tablet and handed it to the Leader.
The Leader took it and used his authority to activate it.
Soon, a large virtual screen appeared in front of the three.
It displayed all the flying cars in the garage.
Ye Lan stared intently, seemingly impatient already.
The Leader gave the position to Ye Lan.
"Choose."
"Mm-hmm."
Ye Lan stepped forward and began sliding through the panels.
The first was a golden yellow flying car, quite bright and cool in appearance.
Before Ye Lan could say anything, the Leader spoke: "This one already has an owner. The owner is a Radiant Sun Night Watcher called Lewis. Shall I introduce him to you?"
"Eh? Can you introduce him?"
Ye Lan was slightly surprised.
"I can briefly explain the information. It's also a good opportunity for you to understand the situation of the capital's Radiant Sun Night Watchers."
"Mm-hmm, then go ahead."
Ye Lan didn't mind getting to know unfamiliar Radiant Sun Night Watchers.
After all, they're big shots.
If she encounters danger in the future and happens to meet them, perhaps she could rely on their strength.
The Leader swiped to Lewis's photo, showing a man nearing thirty with brown curly hair, glasses, and stubble.
"This is one of our headquarters' strongest combat forces. His Star is [Electronic Matrix], capable of controlling electric currents for attack and defense. If he fights seriously without restraint, he could paralyze the entire capital's power system."
"So powerful! Next one."
Ye Lan wasn't interested in this kind of uncle, directly swiping to the next car.
The Leader glanced and said: "This car also has an owner, a Radiant Sun Night Watcher called Amrei. He doesn't have a particularly powerful Star, but he can pilot large mechanical tactical humanoids, that is, robots manufactured with Star technology. He's very strong in strategic aspects."
"Wow! Gundam!"
To be honest, Ye Lan also wanted a Gundam.
But that thing seems a bit conspicuous and can't be piloted normally, so forget it.
Next one.
"This one also has an owner, called Long Li. Just turned eighteen, she's the youngest female Radiant Sun Night Watcher at headquarters. Her Star is [Cut Through All], which releases slashes that can cut through all physical entities by consuming objects, like a sacrifice. The more advanced the sacrificed item, the more things it can cut, even intangible things like concepts."
Next one.
"This also has an owner, called Corundum. He's both a researcher and a Radiant Sun Night Watcher. His Star is called [Breakthrough], which can improve the Star grade of the possessed person through possession. Breakthroughs like from Radiant Sun to Sub-Exceptional are possible, having strong strategic value."
Next one.
"The owner of this car calls himself the Fool, probably because his original name was hard to hear. Don't be fooled by his bald head and seemingly silly appearance, his luck value is maxed out. As for his Star, it's [Nullification], which can nullify all Star and Star Eclipse effects within a range, indiscriminate of friend or foe."
The Leader then introduced almost all the Radiant Sun Night Watchers at headquarters to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan also gained a lot of knowledge.
"Alright, that's about it for introductions. Let's hide the cars that already have owners. Currently, there are five cars without owners. Take a look."
"Mm-hmm!"
Now comes the main event!
