Given the other party's strength, you'd better clean yourself up and obediently enjoy the benefits.

Inside a room at the Hillman Hotel.

Lu Jing was amazed by the luxurious house. How much would it cost per day?

With his limited understanding, he didn't realize that both are forms of sleeping.

What exactly is the difference between this and a small hotel that costs fifty yuan a night?

Qilin had just finished bathing and was sitting on the bed wearing a bathrobe.

Lu Jing panicked at this moment.

bath!?

(Please remember twkan.com for the fastest chapter updates)

Why do you take a shower if you have nothing to do?

He instinctively reached for his buttocks.

"sit."

The Qilin opened its chest, revealing its bronze skin and strong muscles.

These muscles are clearly defined and as hard as steel.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that his body is covered with hideous scars.

Some of these scars are winding and twisting like centipedes, while others look like deep marks left by swords.

Every scar tells a story of fierce battles and life-or-death trials that have been endured.

This old man got on the bus, so he definitely doesn't need to give up his seat.

Lu Jing thought to himself silently.

Qilin held a bottle of highly concentrated, chilled vodka and downed more than half of it in one gulp.

Lu Jing thought that if this were an ordinary person, he would have called an ambulance by now.

“Tell me, why do you want to be a different person?” Qilin asked.

“I…” Lu Jing thought for a moment, “Which chuunibyou teenager hasn’t dreamed of saving the world and holding a pretty girl in his arms?”

Yes, Lu Jing has had this dream for eighteen years.

But today, he seems to have seen a glimmer of hope.

Qilin smiled faintly, "And then?"

Lu Jing scratched his head: "That's it."

"Would you even risk your life for this wish?"

"It's not that noble anymore," Lu Jing muttered. "If I had to choose, my life would definitely be the most important thing."

"You're very honest."

Lu Jing was afraid that if he were discovered for lying, he would be punched to death by the old man in front of him.

"So... I got accepted?" Lu Jing asked.

"You're still in the probationary period," Qilin said. "Only by passing the probationary period will you be considered accepted. I'm telling you beforehand that you'll be entering a different world. It's mysterious and dangerous."

Lu Jing hesitated only slightly before nodding.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey."

"What should I do now?" Lu Jing asked.

Qilin took out an exquisite black box from his pocket and gently opened the lid.

Inside the box lay a small, exquisite bottle of medicine, about the length of a finger.

The bottle is completely transparent, but the liquid inside is a dazzling golden color, flowing slowly like liquid gold and radiating a mysterious glow.

"Once it's injected into your body, how much power you can unleash within three months depends on your own abilities."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Jing was a little nervous.

"He can enhance your potential. To maximize the drug's effectiveness, you must strictly follow the training plan during these three months."

Lu Jing took the plan sheet handed to him by the other party.

3000-meter run, push-ups, sit-ups...

Of course, this was only the plan for the first two weeks.

Looking further down, there's the 10,000-meter race, the 30,000-meter race, the 50,000-meter race...

"To be stronger than the Awakened, you must work even harder than them," the Qilin said.

Lu Jing nodded, as if he could already see the hope of becoming stronger.

Qilin took out a vial and inserted it into Lu Jing's arm, slowly pushing the medicine in.

"It will be very uncomfortable, just bear with it!"

Lu Jing gritted his teeth, and apart from the initial pain from the needle prick, he didn't seem to feel anything.

Qilin raised its head and looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing met his gaze.

"Didn't you sense anything unusual?" Qilin asked.

"No."

Qilin quickened its pace, "And this time?"

"Still no," Lu Jing said.

After a moment of silence, Qilin injected the entire potion into Lu Jing's body.

"If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold it in."

"Hmm... I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

Lu Jing said.

Waited for a while.

"Don't you feel anything else?"

"No...did I get a fake injection?"

"Impossible!" Qilin declared firmly.

Qilin still remembers the first time he was injected with the potion; he felt terribly uncomfortable.

Moreover, it was still an unformed medicine at that time.

Today's medicines have undergone countless generations of improvement.

It is many times stronger than the previous medicine.

How could I not feel anything?

"You weren't just putting on a brave face?"

“No,” Lu Jing said calmly.

After a moment of silence, the Qilin said, "You are very different."

Lu Jing was overjoyed.

“Go ahead,” Qilin said. “I have other things to do.”

Lu Jing took a deep breath, his emotions still unsettled for a long time.

"Excuse me, what's the name of our organization?"

You don't need to know right now.

"Then how should I address you?"

No need for titles.

Lu Jingxin said, "That's really mysterious."

"How can we contact each other? I will contact you."

This is the rule of the Night's Watch.

After two undercover incidents, the captain established this rule.

Team members who have not been assessed are not allowed to know any information about the Night Watch.

Qilin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the boy's back.
