Chapter 35: Gaining Power
Central Headquarters.
The leader who was handling business was suddenly called by someone.
A casual glance.
It’s Night Lan.
“What?”
Ling Feng almost thought he was seeing things.
“What does she want from me?”
With this question full of doubt, Leader Ling Feng naturally answered Night Lan’s call.
The electronic screen featuring Night Lan soon appeared in front of him.
Ling Feng sat in his chair behind his desk, looking majestically at the screen and at Night Lan, as if waiting for her to speak.
“Night Lan, what brings you to contact me?”
Seeing Night Lan’s expression slightly brighten and then hesitate, as though uncertain and worried, Ling Feng didn’t urge her or blame her.
This girl left a good impression on him, and he felt she deserved special treatment from a leader.
“Don’t be nervous, go ahead and say what you’re thinking.”
Hearing the leader’s comforting words, Night Lan also took a deep breath, calming herself down.
“Well, can I use the identity of Sunlight Night Watcher to handle star eclipses in other cities?”
“Huh?”
The leader’s eyebrows rose, his expression a bit unnatural.
Using the identity of Sunlight Night Watcher from headquarters to handle star eclipses in other cities …
He couldn’t have misheard, right?
Not really.
He never imagined Night Lan would think of something like that.
Based on the information about Yun Chang City and his observations, the leader felt that Night Lan wasn’t someone who liked to stand out.
And here was someone who seemed to prefer staying in the shadows now wanting to step up as a night watcher.
Could the sun really rise in the west?
“This…”
Always decisive, Ling Feng found himself hesitating, unsure how to advise her.
This development was indeed unexpected.
Night Lan was an Extraordinary Star Holder, with a Wish Machine star even more crucial than the trump card of the organization.
Such a trump card wouldn’t be revealed or used unless absolutely necessary.
However, there really wasn’t anything a night watcher couldn’t handle in the current situation of Huaxia, except for the Rising Sun Theater Group.
But on second thought,
This group wasn’t truly problematic and could be ignored.
Regarding Night Lan,
Ling Feng had intended to keep her existence hidden, to protect her and let her grow safely in a secure environment to avoid attracting evil individuals.
But unfortunately, reality didn’t live up to these idealistic dreams.
The presence of the Rising Sun Theater Group effectively dashed any hopes of allowing Night Lan to grow quietly.
After Mo Tu’s report,
During her stay in Waltonka, Free Country, three supernovas were eyeing the audience performers of the Rising Sun Theater.
The members of the theater group were powerless to resist.
The performers were cornered and had to resort to reversing the star eclipse.
Thankfully, they eventually turned back into humans.
Otherwise, with the existence of a star eclipse embodiment from the Wish Machine, humans would have been thoroughly thrown into chaos.
Finally, the performers gained benefits from this experience, boosting their mental power to Level B, giving them strong self-defense abilities.
Saying they just barely managed might be an understatement.
An Extraordinary Star Holder with Level B mental power was virtually invincible within the current night watcher organization.
Especially since that Extraordinary Star was named “Wish Machine.”
So,
If Night Lan wanted to reveal herself in public, there seemed to be no worry about problems from humans.
As long as no out-of-the-shadows supernova star eclipses had designs on her, she wouldn’t need to worry about her safety.
Ling Feng couldn’t help but marvel.
Over several months of time,
Night Lan had grown from a newbie night watcher to nearly invincible.
It was utterly absurd.
One might easily suspect she was favored by the universe itself.
Back to reality,
Seeing the leader silent, Night Lan became slightly nervous.
“Umm… Leader, is it okay?”
The leader snapped back to attention.
Seeing the cautious, gentle query from Night Lan, his gaze softened.
“Of course, you have both the qualifications and the capabilities.”
Night Lan exhaled.
“That’s great…”
As long as she had the leader’s approval, it should be fine.
This was perhaps her first time summoning the courage to do something so out of character.
If the leader rejected her, she might not recover easily.
“Then, Leader, tell the head of Pinghai City. With your words, she should understand!”
Before the leader could respond, Night Lan handed over her smart device to the leader of Pinghai City.
The two leaders looked each other through the screen.
“…”
“…”
The head of Pinghai City spoke first, a wry smile on her face.
“Leader, this is quite unexpected. You’re letting a little girl take on the role of a headquarters Sunlight Night Watcher? Do others know about this?”
Ling Feng’s expression remained steady, although a hint of unease lingered in his eyes.
“It was my personal decision.”
He was just kidding.
At that time, he never meant to put Night Lan in the spotlight.
If Night Lan were to become a proper Sunlight Night Watcher, there would inevitably be some troublesome procedures, revealing her secret.
The term ‘Sunlight Night Watcher’ was merely a way to make Night Lan happy; it was also about presenting her with a special star-powered car.
And now, Night Lan actually wanted to use this identity to gain corresponding power…
This was truly beyond anyone’s imagination.
Yet, this curiosity intrigued the leader.
What exactly made Night Lan think this way?
This was certainly worth investigating.
Under Ling Feng’s prompting, the head of Pinghai City mentioned the incident Night Lan wanted to intervene, along with a brief overview of Pinghai City’s situation.
In front of a night watcher leader, night watchers didn’t need to hide anything.
“A star eclipse organization with a group mentality? Does she genuinely take interest in this?”
Given the unique circumstances in Huaxia, the leader already understood this.
Since the strange Rising Sun Theater Group appeared, Ling Feng had been studying similar situations and knew a little about Pinghai City as well.
However, Pinghai City’s star eclipse organization was less significant compared to the Rising Sun Theater, which was why Ling Feng had neglected to pay too much attention to it.
“She wants to solve it alone without your involvement? It seems she has some special method and fears being interfered with.”
The leader analyzed aloud.
Seeing the leader lost in thought, the head of Pinghai City inquired again.
“Leader, does she actually have the capability to resolve this matter? I want to hear your thoughts.”
“Ha…”
To the head of Pinghai City, the scene before her showed the leader smiling confidently.
“Trust her. In a way, I believe in her being a headquarters Sunlight Night Watcher, not just as a gesture but because she truly possesses the ability.”
“You…”
The head of Pinghai City’s pupils widened in shock.
This seemingly harmless girl was recognized as a “strong one” by the leader.
Was this all just a dream?
“Relax, provide her with maximum support, and don’t involve yourselves further.”
“Yes, I understand.”
