149: Chapter 149 Mud Pills

With the documents distributed, the conference room, which had only just quieted down, became noisy once again.

"Damn it! I've been waiting for this day for so long, holding in my anger. The higher-ups have finally opened their eyes!" Old Mo, his face covered in scars, cursed grumpily, appearing somewhat crude.

"We've finally made it to today. Surely the Captain won't make us keep backing down this time, will he?" The tall, muscular man who claimed he could turn into steel and wanted to be Chu Xuan's shield grinned.

This man, over two meters tall, was named Hong Wei. Chu Xuan had a deep impression of him because his Sequence Skill was [Clone], a path he had embarked upon only after slaying numerous Night Demon Clones.

"Where is all this resentment coming from, you two? The Captain never told us to be cowards; he just wanted us to exercise restraint and ignore those blind fools," a young man with delicate, fair skin and long, jet-black hair said with a chuckle.

"Han Feng, you're the one with the biggest temper among us. You've wanted to strangle that Tao Jiajia more than once. Has your anger subsided now?"

The man who had previously suggested making Chu Xuan a group leader spoke with a smile. He looked quite disheveled, with messy hair, as if he hadn't bathed in a long time.

He glanced at Chu Xuan at the end and laughed, "Chu Xuan made a move before you could, Han Feng. Shouldn't you show some gratitude?"

"No problem!"

Han Feng tossed his long hair and said with a blooming smile, "Chu Xuan, if you team up with me, I promise I'll cripple the Specters and let you get the first kill! My Sequence Path is Healer, and my Transcendent Skill is [Healing]. If you're injured, as long as you drink my blood and eat my flesh, your wounds will heal rapidly. I'll make sure you don't die."

Healing?

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised.

How could the description of the same Transcendent Skill be different from the [Healing] reward the System offered when he achieved the 'One Hundred Kills' feat in Yinshan Village?

"Don't listen to him. His skill is too bloody. You're better off with me."

The disheveled man rubbed the back of his neck and pinched out a small, shiny black pill. With a flick of his thumb, it landed on the table in front of Chu Xuan.

"My skill is also [Healing], but it's much better than Han Feng's. Even if you aren't injured, eating the Healing pills I roll by hand can permanently increase your health points. If you don't believe me, just touch it, and the System will show a prompt. With your high spirituality value, you should have unlocked the System's Q&A permission by now, right?"

Suppressing his disgust, Chu Xuan gently pinched the "Healing pill" with two fingers, and sure enough, the System provided a prompt.

[Name: dirt pill

Category: Medicine

Description: This is a Healing medicine meticulously crafted by Bai Yunfei, containing a masculine flavor unique to him.

Function: Upon consuming this pill, you will immediately recover 10 health points. If your health points are full, it will permanently increase your health points by 1.

Note: Effective when health points are above 50% of the total capacity.

Tip: This is a flavorful pill; if you want to eat it, eat more. (Bai Yunfei, you've really had enough!)]

Chu Xuan's mouth twitched; the description was truly peculiar... but the most peculiar thing was the name Bai Yunfei, which didn't match his appearance or temperament at all.

Luo Xiaotian, standing beside him, explained to Chu Xuan:

"The same Sequence Skill can gradually show differences due to a person's personality, environment, and style of doing things. It can even be influenced by their respective innate talents, taking on a very distinct personal style."

So that's how it is...

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

Although it was a bit revolting, the thought of permanently increasing his health points by 1 made Chu Xuan endure it. He carefully wrapped it in a tissue and stored it in his bag.

On the other side, Tang Zheng was also being recruited by Bai Yunfei and received a [dirt pill]. He had also long since unlocked the System's Q&A permission.

After checking the System details, Tang Zheng swallowed it without hesitation. His eyes brightened slightly as he asked, "Brother Fei, if we join your team, how many can you give me each day?"

Bai Yunfei gave a mysterious smile. "That depends on your performance."

"Enough! Stop fooling the newcomers. You can only produce three pills a day at most. How many could you possibly give them?"

Zhang Qiang directly exposed Bai Yunfei's intentions.

"Besides, these two are special talents. Their specific assignment will have to wait until the Captain returns. Let's end the complaining here; this meeting's video will be archived for a long time, so mind your image."

Zhang Qiang spat out some phlegm, lit another cigarette, and then began the next topic:

"Regarding the appointment of group leaders and the selection of team members... let's not make it complicated. Those interested, please nominate yourselves now..."

There weren't many complex procedures; everyone present clearly prioritized efficiency, and the selections were finalized in less than five minutes.

Unsurprisingly, the four Level 4 Transcendents—Old Mo, Hong Wei, Han Feng, and Bai Yunfei—became the group leaders.

After a brief discussion, each of them chose two official members to join their respective groups.

Finally, with the joint decision of the two Deputy Captains, Zhang Qiang and Zhao Hongchan, the four Night Watcher groups were officially established.

Aside from that, Luo Xiaotian continued to partner with Zhang Qiang for the time being, acting as an assistant.

No arrangements were made for Tang Zheng and Chu Xuan for now.

Zhao Hongchan was near her due date and was about to go give birth.

There was also a Level 6 Transcendent, Qin Qing, who was still recuperating and lacked combat capability in the short term, so no arrangements were made for her either.

Plus, the Captain, who was out Hunting Specters and had not yet returned.

There were nineteen official Night Watcher members in total; the Captain was the only one Chu Xuan had yet to meet.

Just then, Zhao Hongchan's expression shifted as she looked toward the door. "The Captain is back."

As soon as she finished speaking, the metal door slowly opened.

"Fortunately, I managed to make it to this orientation meeting."

A faint laugh sounded as a man with a slender build appeared before everyone. He wore a standard Night Watcher trench coat over a white shirt, possessed a refined and elegant temperament, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Thud! Thud!

Two large-capacity travel bags were tossed onto the conference table, revealing two hideous monster heads. The smell of blood instantly filled the room.

He appeared calm, moving with confidence and composure as he took his seat at the head of the table.

"Chu Xuan! Tang Zheng! Hello, I am Ming Xiucheng, the acting Captain of the Haicheng Night Watchers. Welcome to the team."

As he spoke, his gaze focused on the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of Chu Xuan's nose, and he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Back then, I offered 100 million and still couldn't buy these glasses from Chen Quan. I thought that after he defected, I'd have a chance to get them for free, but I didn't expect them to end up with you. It seems this item truly isn't meant for me."

Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he smiled back. "If the Captain wants them, I can give them to you for free."

"That won't be necessary; I already have something better."

Ming Xiucheng pointed to his gold-rimmed glasses with a smile, then looked at Zhang Qiang and asked, "Uncle Qiang, what stage is the meeting at?"

Zhang Qiang: "The group leaders and their members have already been confirmed."

"In that case, I won't waste words. Next step: let's begin the liquidation of those clowns."

Ming Xiucheng pressed his hands onto the conference table, a faint trace of Killing Intent flashing across his refined face.

"Clear the source and set things right. It's time to change the atmosphere of Haicheng!"
