Chapter 644: Chapter 301 Champion Agent_2

“At least from what we can see now, the followers of the Chaos Fifth God are enthusiastic about targeting the Ember Church, but have not yet shown hostility towards humans. Perhaps they can be an aid…but we must ultimately remain vigilant, after all, they are gods of Chaos.”

Li Yelai nodded, indicating his understanding.

In Border City No.2, it was by leveraging the power of that Wilderness Ranger that the enemy was severely damaged.

At present, the Fifth God and the other four sects are enemies. There’s no need to target them too specifically.

At least, before the other four sects are annihilated, the two sides shouldn’t become enemies.

“How is the ranger from Border City No.2 doing?” Li Yelai asked.

“After all, he did kill Qin Zhi, he avenged City No.3. Border City No.2 gave us face, didn’t make things too difficult for him, and rescinded his wanted order. They executed several law-breaking officials from the Giant City. As for himself, he slipped away with a little girl,” Yin Fire responded.

Li Yelai nodded; after all, he was the key figure in that incident, striking thrice, once at Qin Zhi, once at Burning Roar, and once at the traitorous tyrant. Officially, both emotionally and reasonably, they could not target him.

“Alright, you don’t need to worry about these things for now, you’ve also reached the Fifth Sense. It’s time for the Armament Ceremony, becoming an Elite Night Patrol,” Yin Fire said with a smile, “Yang Chen isn’t in the Giant City, do you want to invite that captain to perform the armament for you?”

“Invite the Little Mad King, she was the one who did the last ceremony,” Li Yelai responded, “She should be coming back to the Giant City soon, right?”

“That’s not appropriate, the Little Mad King has shown her face in front of the Church, even with some disguise, it’s ultimately not suitable for her to appear in such a high-profile ceremony. It’s too easy to be noticed,” Yin Fire shook his head.

Li Yelai was somewhat surprised, “High-profile?”

“Yes, within Border City No.3, there are many from distant Giant Cities and families. As a ceremony of Champion Team One, naturally, it will attract a lot of attention,” Yin Fire responded, “Do you have any other candidates? If not, shall we have headquarters assign someone?”

After thinking it over, Li Yelai said, “Then invite Doll to perform the armament ceremony for me?”

The only ones close to captain level and in good relations with Li Yelai are Captain Yang Chen, Doll, and Little Mad King.

With Yang Chen absent and the Little Mad King unable to arm,

Only Doll could be asked.

Yin Fire thought for a while and then nodded, “Alright, she will be back in the Giant City tonight or tomorrow. There’s enough time.”

…

Meanwhile, in the conference room, the officials were stunned by the supplies Li Yelai had brought forth.

After a moment of silence, someone asked, “How should we reward the Night General?”

“The resources he just handed in are too vast. Shouldn’t we give him tens of thousands of contribution points?”

“Let’s not even talk about the recent supplies; the Life Material he brought back is valuable enough!”

“It’s too great an achievement to reward… I somewhat understand the pain Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, faced with Li Shimin. The merits are so great, there’s nothing left to confer!”

A few high-level officials sighed; they indeed couldn’t publicly announce Li Yelai’s merits and give him a reward.

It’s not like they could follow in Li Yuan’s footsteps and create a ‘Heavenly Strategy Admiral’ title just to appease him, could they?

The elder seated at the head then laughed, “What if we change his codename to Night King? Let him and Hong Zhuang take my place together. One is the Night King, the other the Little Mad King… To those unaware, they might think my City No.3, has three kings, hahaha.”

The rest looked helplessly at the elder, “Mad King, that’s even worse than Li Yuan.”

“Reward him with fifty thousand Merit Points. Of course, forty-five thousand are a secret accolade; just say he’s rewarded five thousand Merit Points to the public,” an elderly lady spoke.

“Fifty thousand is not a small amount, but for his achievements, this seems a bit too little,” an old man responded. “No, it’s far too little.”

“I’m well aware of that. Merit Points are ultimately a currency for exchanging resources and can’t measure the contributions he has made. Moreover, the materials he sent out alone are worth more than a million Merit Points! But if we really gave him a million Merit Points, it would actually be of no use to him,” the elderly lady said. “Fifty thousand Merit Points is not a small amount, enough for his regular use. And I suggest… elevating his authority to Captain Level.”

“Captain Level with a Fifth Sense?” a middle-aged man with graying hair frowned. “A second Doll?”

Doll was the only Processor within Giant City who had attained the title of Captain when he was at the stage of Fifth Sense.

It was because of her terrifying destructive power and that fearsome curse. A battle capability comparable to that of the Sixth Sense!

“Yes, the Night General has always had extremely strong combat ability. When at the Four Awakenings, he killed Mei Wu with a Fifth Sense, and at Fifth Sense, he severely injured the Sixth Sense Chaos Divine Chosen Burning Roar! It’s enough to prove, he can bear this honor,” the old lady said.

“But he’s a member of Champion Team One, a Captain Level powerhouse of Champion Team One… Especially in the absence of Captain Yang Chen from Giant City, wouldn’t he then become the acting captain?”

“And as the acting captain of Champion Team One… wouldn’t that make him a Champion Agent?”

“Will he be accepted? He’s only twenty-four years old, right? And also only at the Fourth Tier of the Fifth Sense.”

“Doll was a Captain Level at twenty-three.”

“It’s not the same, Doll only has Captain Level authority, but no subordinates. Whereas this is actual power as a captain! He has the rights to mobilize Champion Team One! Would the other members of the team accept it? There’s a newly emerged Sixth-sense Expert in the team, Zu Chao, a disciple of the Sword Mad Tyrant, and he was only given vice-captain authority.”

“Accepted? Are you serious?” The elderly lady let out a chuckle.

The middle-aged man paused, touched his bald head, and let out a wry smile. “I really am foolish, to actually raise such a question… If it were someone else, there might be objections, but with the Night General, I doubt anyone would oppose…”

The processors of Team One might not yet be clear about Yang Chen’s intentions of cultivating the Night General, but the Elite Night Patrol had known for quite some time.

Not to mention, when Li Yelai used the Nether River Horn to resurrect a former member of Champion Team One.

Many relatives and friends of Champion Team One were deeply grateful to the Night General. Although they had signed a non-disclosure agreement, this gratitude wouldn’t change.

They would be the Night General’s most loyal supporters!

With their support, Li Yelai wouldn’t be questioned.

The Old Mad King, who was at the forefront, said, “Then at tomorrow’s Armament Ceremony… adorn him with Gold-Edged Shoulder Guards. Let the world know that Champion Team One’s Night General now has Captain Level combat power. He is a Champion Agent!”

“It’s perfect since he’s also an ‘undercover’, well, even though it’s not genuine. But let the Blood God and Eternal Life sects feel delighted then. Their Chosen of the Double Gods have gained high authority officially! Let them act more boldly!”

“This, two birds with one stone!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, but soon after, an old man looked at the Old Mad King with uneasy surprise.

“Mad King, with the Night General becoming a Champion Agent at this critical juncture, won’t it attract trouble? Those external families and Giant Cities all have thoughts of challenging Champion Team One,” the elderly man said. “Moreover, the Night General’s background is connected with the Jing Family. Won’t there be issues?”

“Ever since that group of people from the Jing Family base came, they’ve wanted to make contact with Bing He, who is the Night General’s sister,” the elderly lady said. “They are truly persistent in their nefarious desires! It’s just the opportunity to teach them a lesson with the Night General’s temperament! They had better behave… Otherwise… They will have consequences to face. As for, those external challengers… indeed, there are quite a number of talents.

It’s said that a talented youth from Kunlun Giant City has ascended to the Sixth Sense in less than three years.

He appears to have some specialty and also a certain level of curse resistance… Somehow he heard about a girl suffering from a curse in No.3 Border City and came rushing over.”

“No worries,” the Old Mad King laughed lightly. “A challenge is just a challenge, right? We can’t reveal his achievements, but that doesn’t mean we can’t let him make a name for himself.”
