Chapter 37: I Want It All
Night Lan mustered her courage to reveal a little secret but decided to stop there.
She figured that was enough.
The expressions of the other three in the meeting room were just as Night Lan had anticipated.
They looked completely dumbfounded.
The meaning of an Extraordinary Star in the Night Watcher circle is nothing short of legendary.
It’s like a Supernova in the Star Eclipses circle.
A Supernova Star Eclipse is universally acknowledged by all Night Watchers as a catastrophic disaster that could wipe out a nation under the right conditions.
And the equivalent of an Extraordinary Star… well, the implications are obvious.
A Night Watcher holding such a star could undoubtedly claim the title of the strongest.
It’s the ultimate trump card for the Night Watcher organization!
But until it matures…
This information should stay hidden, or risk falling flat on its face.
And it must be handled with care.
If an Extraordinary Star Holder turns into a Supernova within the Night Watcher forces, even the leader could end up with a heart attack.
The three Sunlight Night Watchers present suddenly got serious, realizing the gravity of the situation.
They didn’t express much doubt.
After all, if even the leader, the supreme ruler, bends over backward for Night Lan, it proves her worthiness.
Then the leader suddenly remembered something.
“I see! No wonder the Sunlight Night Watchers from Yun Chang City asked me to look after you. You’ve got this secret; it’s really surprising.”
He scrutinized her closely.
To be precise, he was assessing the holder of the Extraordinary Star.
It turns out that someone wielding such an incredible star isn’t some mythical being but instead a cute little girl.
The thought alone is enough to make anyone chuckle.
The other two middle-aged guys leaned back in disbelief, gasping again.
“Wow.”
“Impressive.”
Now that they knew Night Lan’s secret, their doubts evaporated, replaced by trust.
All Night Watchers know the terror of Supernova Star Eclipses.
And what transforms into a Supernova Star Eclipse? You guessed it—an Extraordinary Star.
If Night Lan can harness that Extraordinary Star’s strength, a city’s power wouldn’t even faze her.
Let alone the group of Star Eclipses in Pinghaishi.
Most of that organization consists of average Star Eclipses—none even close to being Super.
For an Extraordinary Star Holder like Night Lan, tackling them alone would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—total overkill.
Seeing that the three big shots had no objections, Night Lan let out a sigh of relief internally.
It seems that revealing her secret wasn’t so bad.
Hiding it had been quite the pressure.
Plus, she hadn’t revealed everything; at least she didn’t mention the name of the “Wish Machine,” leaving plenty of room for secrecy.
The three Sunlight Night Watchers intuitively held back their inquiries, showing remarkable self-restraint.
“I’ll ask one last question: what type of star do you have? What’s its focus?”
Night Lan blinked innocently, extending one open hand and slowly clenching it into a fist.
“I want it all!”
The three: “……”
Alright, they got it.
No wonder she’s an Extraordinary Star Holder.
Measuring her with common sense? That’s just plain foolish!
The leader chimed in, “When are you planning to act?”
“Probably today.”
What astonishing motivation!
The leader was taken aback.
“Then I’ll issue the order at noon today to recall the missions related to the group of Star Eclipses, ensuring other Night Watchers don’t interfere with this matter. Even if related Star Eclipses appear on the street, no Night Watchers will handle it; they’ll just notify you, and all consequences will be yours to bear.”
The leader clearly indicated this, putting significant pressure on Night Lan.
But this was also Night Lan’s choice; the leader wasn’t trying to push her.
Even if this pressure seemed quite inhuman for a girl who looked no older than a teenager.
“Uh-huh.”
Night Lan had no objections.
This was the outcome she wanted.
After achieving her goal, Night Lan left the meeting room, leaving the three Sunlight Night Watchers in their seats, exchanging glances.
“It’s hard to imagine she possesses an Extraordinary Star.”
The younger guy sighed, his tone filled with mixed emotions.
Perhaps it was envy.
Who wouldn’t want that level of nearly invincible power?
Of course, such overwhelming power also comes with the risk of reversing d*ath, but many people would probably ignore that.
“That girl seems quite mature; there’s no confusion or hesitation in her eyes like most her age. Do you think she, too, can’t grow up because of her star’s power?”
The older guy suddenly brought this up.
A figure flashed in their minds.
The leader spoke that name.
“Forgotten Feather?”
Forgotten Feather, such a peculiar Night Watcher, still draws a lot of attention.
Her ability isn’t all that impressive.
She can’t perform as a Task Executioner in handling Star Eclipse events and is only capable of managing various affairs in the base.
In the eyes of the higher-ups, she’s quite notable.
Her uniqueness is well-known within Night Watcher Base.
Everyone understands she’s not a real little girl but an adult unable to grow up because of her star.
Such unique individuals aren’t too uncommon among Star Holders, though they’re not mainstream either.
Now, the girl named Night Lan is showcasing capabilities far beyond her peers, making it hard for anyone to believe she’s just an innocent little girl.
However, the leader remarked, “But her recorded age in the Night Watcher files is fourteen; she might genuinely be a younger generation.”
As soon as those words left his mouth, the expressions of the two older men dropped immediately, looking utterly defeated.
“I’m old… so old…”
“When can I retire?”
Night Lan had no idea that her false record in the Night Watcher files would hit the two big guys so hard.
If she found out, she’d probably feel quite guilty.
After all, internally, she’s a twenty-one-year-old tough guy.
Maybe.
Now Night Lan was making her way back to Zero Meow and their lounge.
Zero Meow was already up.
“Night Lan, good morning, meow~”
“Good morning, Zero Meow.”
Zero Meow stretched like a cat on the bed and then blinked in confusion at Night Lan.
“What’s with you getting up so early? I thought you’d be lazing around in bed with me, meow.”
“Uh, mainly because I’ve got business to attend to.”
“What kind of business, meow?”
Night Lan thought for a moment and explained about the incident with the Ecological Distortion, referring to the little girl named Star Sheng.
Upon learning about Star Sheng’s situation, Zero Meow began to feel sympathetic.
“She seems like a pitiful child, meow… Do you want to help her, Night Lan? Helping her complete her obsession must be difficult, right?”
From Night Lan’s words, Zero Meow grasped her intention to help Star Sheng.
But that was indeed quite tough.
The Night Watcher Base in Pinghaishi is the biggest hassle.
If Star Sheng appears in public, it would definitely attract a ton of Night Watchers.
What would they do then?
Against that, Night Lan smiled confidently.
“Oh, no need to worry about that! I’ve already handled it; the Night Watchers won’t interfere at all.”
“You’re lying, meow! How’d you manage that?”
Zero Meow looked utterly shocked, finding it hard to believe.
Night Lan just tilted her head with a mysterious smile.
“It’s a secret~”
