Chapter 57: A Bright Future Awaits
Bai Yuan brought the Blank Songstress to Xiao Jin’s office.
Seeing an important guest arrive, Xiao Jin quickly got up and rushed over.
“Miss Blank, welcome to the Night Watcher Base!”
The Blank Songstress simply shook Xiao Jin’s hand and smiled, “No need to be so formal, just treat me like an ordinary girl.”
“Well, I guess I’ll take that as an order then!”
In some ways, the position of the city’s Night Watcher leader doesn’t necessarily rank higher than that of a world-renowned songstress. Respect is required, not purely out of courtesy; it’s simply the way things are.
Plus, she’s a trainee Night Watcher, so respecting her is a must!
Xiao Jin admired how the Blank Songstress chose to step away from the highly beneficial world of singing to take on such a secretive role as a Night Watcher.
You don’t just wake up one day and make that decision without some serious conviction!
Thus, the Blank Songstress’s choice genuinely earned her the admiration of all Night Watchers, without exception.
Xiao Jin led the Blank Songstress to a seat and kindly asked, “Miss Blank, have you noticed anything unusual about your star recently? Even the smallest thing is important, so don’t ignore it.”
Since Night Lan informed him that the Blank Songstress might transform into a Supernova Star Eclipse, Xiao Jin’s concern had grown exponentially.
He aimed to keep a constant watch on her Extraordinary Star and hoped to resolve any potential issues right from the source.
The Blank Songstress mulled it over for a moment.
“There is a little something…”
At these words, everyone present felt the tension rise.
Especially Night Lan, who was very worried about her suddenly having a problem.
The Blank Songstress continued, “I can’t explain why, but I always feel like someone nearby is talking about me—like an instinct or a gut feeling.”
Xiao Jin pondered briefly.
“That might be a property of your star. Does it have a significant impact on you?”
“Not at the moment,” the Blank Songstress shook her head.
Xiao Jin let out a slight sigh of relief.
“Well, that’s good. By the way, have you tried using your star?”
“Um… I have.”
“What effect did it have?”
“It seems to have an effect. Should I show you?”
“Please do!”
The state of the Extraordinary Star needs to be confirmed to avoid any potential mishaps.
Night Lan observed curiously from the back, eager to learn just how powerful a star on her level could be.
If her Wish Machine has such amazing capabilities, then the Blank Songstress’s Existence Interference must be impressive too, right?
Just the sheer power displayed by future Supernova Star Eclipses is outrageous.
Hiding a star? That’s equivalent to sidelining the Night Watchers!
The Blank Songstress paused, then smiled, “Alright then.”
Everyone was confused.
What’s happening?
The Blank Songstress tilted her head and said, “It’s not too obvious in sparsely populated areas, and I’ve heard that Night Watchers can somewhat resist the influence of star powers, so you might not feel it. I’ll just explain it directly.”
Xiao Jin and Bai Yuan exchanged glances and said to the Blank Songstress, “We’d love to hear more.”
“In simple terms, there’s Existence Enhancement and Existence Suppression. If I’m in a crowd, the former makes me stand out like a giant light bulb, attracting everyone’s attention, while the latter makes me as easy to overlook as dust. That’s about it!”
Upon hearing this, Night Lan’s immediate reaction was:
That’s it?
Her Extraordinary Star has the power to traverse time and correct reality! And even crazier, it can fulfill any wish without condition!
Shouldn’t the Blank Songstress, with a star of the same level, have effects more substantial than this?
Xiao Jin and Bai Yuan fell silent.
Seeing them go quiet, the Blank Songstress asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong? Is this ability too strong?”
For her, this ability was immensely useful.
Sometimes when she goes out, she’s always recognized by fans. Just by lowering her presence, she could roam free and that felt fantastic.
On stage, she could ramp up her existence to the max, drawing all fans’ attention to listen to her sing, elevating the concert atmosphere to new heights.
It was all splendid, no matter how you looked at it.
With these two effects, the Blank Songstress felt quite satisfied.
Xiao Jin hesitated, clearly wanting to say something.
“Um… how do I put it…”
He felt a bit embarrassed to say, “That’s ridiculously weak.”
The Blank Songstress had just not encountered enough Night Watchers yet.
Or maybe she didn’t really understand what “Extraordinary Star” truly meant, thus thinking these two abilities were impressive.
But honestly, pulling a few new-star-level Night Watchers from this base would outperform her by a mile.
Bai Yuan intentionally coughed.
“Ahem, it’s definitely impressive, a bright future awaits. You just might not have fully tapped into the star’s power yet. Otherwise, it could be even stronger.”
“Is that so? I’ll work hard on that!”
“Indeed…” Night Lan quietly agreed from behind, fully supporting Bai Yuan’s words.
The power of an Extraordinary Star isn’t something to take lightly; its potential, if grown, could be utterly ridiculous.
And so, their simple chatting came to an end.
Xiao Jin asked, “Miss Blank, are you planning to stay here tonight?”
“I could, right? There’s no safer place than here, is there? And I need to prepare to adapt to the city’s stage tomorrow, so I might as well start from here.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange your accommodations right away.”
Xiao Jin then arranged for the Blank Songstress to stay next to the rest area of White Paint, which conveniently allowed the important task-carrying Black-Haired Loli to observe her.
From what he knew, Night Lan had just stayed in White Paint’s room last night. Things were developing quite rapidly!
Night Lan saw Xiao Jin’s arrangement and mentally gave him a thumbs up.
This boss really understands her!
As the time went on, Bai Yuan continued to show the Blank Songstress around the Night Watcher Base.
Night Lan and White Paint obediently followed behind, observing.
…….
Meanwhile.
Night Star was in bed, lazily watching videos.
Just yesterday, a certain ghost helped her maintain good sleep quality, fulfilling her duties as a pillow.
However, that same ghost started getting a bit full of themselves after just one compliment, claiming they wanted to replace Night Lan as Night Star’s exclusive pillow.
That’s the classic case of inflated ego.
Replacing Night Star? They should be dreaming about it instead!
“Hmm… feeling a bit bored. Should I go out for a stroll?”
With Night Lan occupied with the Blank Songstress, Night Star had nothing to do for the moment.
With a rare day boasting forty-eight hours of productivity, she figured she should do more than just laze around.
She promised herself she wouldn’t slack off.
Going out is better than just staying cooped up in her little den.
With that thought, Night Star addressed the floating Eypar, “Eypar, I’m going out for a bit. You stay here and guard the place.”
“Okay~ Remember to come back early~”
Eypar waved goodbye as Night Star walked away, then paused, realizing something and putting a question mark in midair with her hair.
“Wait, shouldn’t I be going with her?”
Oh no.
She’s been completely trained to be a lookout ghost!
