Ye Lan rubbed her eager little hands, looking at the screen.
There were five cars displayed, at least that was the current inventory.
After all, the number of Night Watchers in the capital was approaching saturation. It was impossible to add new Radiant Sun Night Watchers unless existing ones retired, allowing new potential candidates to rise.
Ye Lan's existence was special.
Although in some sense she was one of the capital's Radiant Sun Night Watchers, only the Leader knew this.
Well... Ji Yun probably knew too.
But unfortunately, Ye Lan wouldn't stay in the capital. With no record, she wouldn't cause any waves in the capital, remaining extremely covert.
Moreover, Ye Lan had said she'd retire on the spot after getting the flying car, sparing the Leader from further headaches.
As the Leader pondered these things, Ye Lan was examining the functional descriptions of the five cars.
Though their appearances differed, the core technology was the same.
As one of the Star technology products, quality was guaranteed, completely outclassing all other cars outside.
However, each car had different characteristics, which didn't affect their strength but were quite interesting.
For instance, Ye Lan had her eye on a black and white car, slightly smaller than the other four, perfect for a loli!
This car's special feature was "camouflage," allowing it to change various appearances, hide its obvious characteristics, and even extend the original body from a four-seater to a six or eight-seater. It could add camouflage colors, becoming unnoticeable even when flying in the air - simply marvelous!
For a socially anxious person like Ye Lan, this was most suitable!
Plus, she could take the entire Rising Sun Troupe for a ride. What could be cooler than that?
"I want this one!"
Without hesitation, Ye Lan chose the flying car with the "camouflage" feature, feeling it would be very useful.
The Leader's attention was drawn by Ye Lan's voice. Looking closely, he realized which one she had chosen.
"This one? It does suit your personality."
The Leader didn't ask further, instead directly operating the system to input the owner's information into the car.
This way, Ye Lan could use the Night Watcher equipment to summon this car anytime.
Ye Lan's joy was short-lived as she quickly thought of an issue.
"Hmm... but I'm returning to Yunzhang City. What about this car?"
"Don't worry about that. I'll have someone transport it to the Night Watchers' base in Yunzhang City. You'll be able to get it then."
"Great~ The Leader is so thoughtful!"
Seeing Ye Lan's happy expression, the Leader smiled gently.
"Now that you've got the car, are you going to retire?"
"Retire?"
Ye Lan fell into thought.
She had indeed said earlier that she'd retire on the spot after getting the cool car for free, but now that the time had come, she didn't feel comfortable retiring so easily.
It felt rather heartless.
"Um... do you want me to retire?"
"I don't. Even if you hold the title of the capital's Radiant Sun Night Watcher without fulfilling the duties of the position, it would at least put my mind at ease."
The Leader didn't hide his thoughts.
This honest statement made Ye Lan ponder for a moment.
Then, as if having made up her mind, she mustered her courage and said, "Then I won't retire. Maybe I'll come to the capital in the future, and this identity might be useful. Is that okay?"
"Of course it is."
"Hehe~ That's good then." Ye Lan showed a sweet, innocent smile, looking very cute.
Afterwards, Ye Lan and the Leader returned to the office with Ji Yun's help.
It seemed there was nothing else for Ye Lan to do now.
The Leader sat in his seat and said to Ye Lan, who was preparing to leave, "Ye Lan, what are your plans for the future? After knowing the secret told by the Dream Narrator, will you take any action?"
"I won't! I want to live a peaceful, ordinary life!"
"I hope so. Well then, until we meet again."
"Mm-hmm, goodbye, Leader~"
After bidding farewell, Ye Lan left the office.
The Leader fell into deep thought again.
Ye Lan wasn't lying about wanting to live a peaceful life; that little loli didn't seem like the type to cause much trouble.
However, she possessed an Exceptional Star. Even if she didn't actively seek trouble, who knew if something strange might find her.
Moreover, she had the identity of a Rising Sun Troupe member. Her so-called daily life wouldn't be all that peaceful.
He hoped everything would be alright.
Ye Lan returned to the rest area with Ji Yun's help.
Now she could finally pack her things and return to Yunzhang City.
Thinking this, Ye Lan quickly packed her belongings, putting all daily necessities into a suitcase, then tossing it into the theater door.
Perfect!
Others probably wouldn't notice her luggage disappearing. At worst, she could make up an excuse about sending it back.
Now she just needed to pretend to take a plane back to Yunzhang City.
But before that, she should properly say goodbye to people here, like Ye Yu and Yu Xin.
Ye Yu could be considered her friend, often taking care of her during her time in the capital. She should say a proper goodbye.
Yu Xin was entrusted by Wang Chao to protect Ye Lan from mistreatment in the capital.
Even though Ye Lan hadn't caused trouble in the capital, and Yu Xin hadn't been of much use, Ye Lan was still grateful to her.
After all, this beautiful big sister had taken her out to play.
Ye Lan was very clear about gratitude and grudges.
Thinking this, Ye Lan left her rest area and went to ring the doorbell of a nearby room.
Soon after, Ye Yu came out of the rest area.
"Ye Lan? Do you have something for this one?"
"Hmm... it's like this. I'm leaving the capital today, so I came to say goodbye."
Hearing this, Ye Yu was momentarily stunned, then quickly composed herself.
"I see, is that so? All good things must come to an end. Partings are for better reunions. The weak must leave the strong to grow. I hope you become stronger in this process and return to become this one's right-hand assistant. This one has high expectations for you."
"Mm-hmm, let's leave it at that then. Remember to work hard in the capital. Maybe you'll become a Radiant Sun Night Watcher in the future. Remember to keep looking out for me."
Ye Lan was already accustomed to Ye Yu's way of speaking and had no trouble communicating with her.
To this, Ye Yu proudly raised her head, assuming the posture of a strong person.
"Rest assured, who do you think this one is? Obtaining that title is just a matter of time. Whenever you're by this one's side, this one's wings will always protect you."
"Mm-hmm, goodbye then~"
Ye Lan waved goodbye.
Watching Ye Lan's departing figure, Ye Yu immediately dropped her proud demeanor, showing a regretful expression.
"It's rare to meet such a cute follower. It's too regrettable for her to leave like this... Should I consider becoming a Night Watcher in her city in the future?"
