Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

The two secretly left the dormitory, passed the quiet training ground, and walked to the roof of the infirmary building.

Four people were already sitting on the roof of the infirmary: Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu. Each of them was holding a large skewer of meat and grilling it over the campfire.

"You've come at the perfect time." Baili Pangpang's hands were busy flipping the meat skewers. When he saw Jiang Shiyuan and Molly, he chuckled, "The meat skewers will be ready soon."

"Is this a good idea? Isn't it too arrogant?" Jiang Shiyuan said it wasn't a good idea, but her hand still reached out quite honestly.

"Wait... don't rush, it'll be done soon, but not quite." Baili Pangpang told Jiang Shiyuan not to be impatient.

"Anyway, tomorrow is our last day at the training camp, so the instructors can't do anything to us," Cao Yuan said nonchalantly.

"They can't do anything to us." Lin Qiye smiled and handed the skewers in his hand to Jiang Shiyuan, teasingly saying, "At most, they'll be punished by running exercises from tonight until dawn."

Jiang Shiyuan froze, then silently gave half of the meat skewer to Molly. "Why don't we finish these and run away? We can leave the punishment to them..."

"I think it's feasible, hahaha." The training camp has ended, and they will all go their separate ways after tomorrow. This is the last day they will be together. Molly is relaxed for once and laughs heartily after hearing Jiang Shiyuan's words.

Her bright and dignified face, which was usually frosty and cold, melted away like ice and snow with this smile. Baili Pangpang was stunned. Seeing that Molly was about to eat the skewers that Jiang Shiyuan had given her, he quickly snatched the skewers from her hand.

Molly's smile vanished, replaced by a death stare at Baili Pangpang.

“Mine are done too. Qi Ye’s skills are no good. Mine are definitely better than his. I’ll give this one back to Shi Yuan. She’s not picky about food…” Baili Pangpang handed his grilled skewers to Molly in a flattering manner, and then returned the ones Lin Qi Ye had grilled to Jiang Shi Yuan.

Lin Qiye: "..." (The food wasn't baked well)

Jiang Shiyuan, who doesn't discriminate in her tastes: "..."

Jiang Shiyuan shoved the skewers in her mouth in a fit of anger and suddenly said, "Who said that? Qi Ye's skewers are the best. Molly, look at what Fatty's skewers are like. They're dry and tough. They're obviously no good!"

"Seven Nights' roasted food is not tasty at all!" Baili Pangpang exclaimed anxiously.

“I think it’s delicious, Molly, who do you believe?” Jiang Shiyuan challenged.

"Seriously, everything Qiye roasted was burnt! Molly, you have to believe me! I think Shiyuan was really hungry; she could eat anything!"

Lin Qiye silently grilled the skewers. He hadn't done anything, so why was he always the one being attacked?

Molly: "...I believe in Shi Yuan."

"Molly, Molly who unconditionally stands against Fatty~ Oh, I'm practically falling in love with you..." Jiang Shiyuan was moved.

"Oh dear, please don't cause trouble." Baili Pangpang snatched the skewers from Cao Yuan's hand and handed them to Jiang Shiyuan, trying to bribe her.

Cao Yuan, heartbroken at losing his skewers: "..." He had just finished grilling the skewers he wanted to give to Lin Qiye! And they were snatched away so tenderly!

Shen Qingzhu, who loved watching the drama unfold, gave him a pitying look.

"Hey bro, don't just sit there, hurry up and grill some." Baili Pangpang patted his shoulder, "We'll be eating what you grill later."

Shen Qingzhu: "..." He wouldn't pay any attention to this fat man.

Jiang Shiyuan casually handed Cao Yuan's skewers to Lin Qiye, saying, "You eat them, otherwise I'm afraid Cao Yuan will get angry and Fatty will be chased to the ends of the earth."

The skewers in Molly's hand emitted a hot and spicy aroma. She twitched her nose, but still picked up a skewer and started eating.

When Baili Pangpang saw that Molly had finally started eating the skewers he had grilled, he happily invited Jiang Shiyuan and Molly to sit down, and cunningly arranged for Molly to sit next to him.

After Jiang Shiyuan sat down, she noticed a few bottles of energy drinks in the corner next to her. She picked one up, opened it, and then poked Lin Qiye, who was quietly grilling skewers, and said in a chatty tone like a village auntie, "Qiye, Fatty said your skewers are burnt. Look at him, he's getting more and more arrogant. Can you tolerate this?"

Lin Qiye flipped through the skewers in his hand, glancing helplessly at Jiang Shiyuan, who was stirring things up. "Didn't you say it was delicious? That's enough. Besides, why are you arguing with an idiot?"

Foolish Baili Pangpang: "..." You've got the sharpest tongue ever!

Jiang Shiyuan grinned and took a satisfied sip of her drink.

Under a sky full of stars and a gentle breeze, six people ate meat skewers and drank beverages, filling the small rooftop with laughter.

The winds that roamed in youth, the people met, and the time spent together are more precious than gold.

After some time, Jiang Shiyuan yawned. She had eaten quite a few skewers and was feeling a bit sleepy.

Baili Pangpang was still showing off his wealth, and she felt uncomfortable watching him, so she got up, walked a little further away, and leaned on the railing to look at the stars.

"It's getting late, are you going back?" Lin Qiye asked as he walked up to her.

"Okay, we'll go back after Molly finishes eating," Jiang Shiyuan replied lazily, while Lin Qiye stood next to her to look at the stars.

Looking at the starry sky and feeling the evening breeze, she suddenly asked, "Qi Ye, will you feel resentful staying in Cangnan?"

Lin Qiye leaned against the railing, his expression still calm. "I am willing to obey the orders from higher-ups."

“But my ranking in the assessment is clearly not as good as yours. As agents of the gods, you are number one, yet you can only stay in Cangnan.” Jiang Shiyuan cupped her face and tilted her head to look at Lin Qiye. She wondered if he could still maintain the mindset he had in the original story under such a contrast.

Lin Qiye understood what Jiang Shiyuan was struggling with and explained, "Back then, when Lao Zhao almost died, I made a promise to him at his bedside that I would become a night watchman and protect this world with him for ten years."

Since it's about protecting, and protecting together with him, wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Cangnan now so that I can fulfill this promise?

So, you, the future member of the Phoenix team, shouldn't worry about these things. Like you said, wouldn't it be better if we split up and focus on developing our own strength?

Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan still had a frown on her face and looked unconvinced, Lin Qiye raised his hand and flicked her forehead. "Even if I stay in Cangnan, I might not develop slower than you, a member of this special team. You'd better work hard."

Jiang Shiyuan rubbed her forehead and angrily bounced back with tremendous force!

Lin Qiye covered his forehead, his eyes filled with resentment. He hadn't even used any force, but she wished she could smash his head in!

Jiang Shiyuan turned her head away, relieved. After a long while, she pouted and said, "Actually, I think there must be a special reason why the higher-ups kept you in Cangnan. You should be able to guess that, so I wasn't worried that you would feel resentful!"

"It's good that you're not worried about me. I was afraid you would worry about me." Lin Qiye ruffled her soft hair, pretending to be relieved.

Jiang Shiyuan took his hand away, then suddenly remembered something, "Qi Ye, what's your birthday? Has your birthday already passed this year?"

"October 5th, why are you suddenly asking this?" Lin Qiye didn't know why Jiang Shiyuan's thoughts suddenly jumped to her birthday.

Jiang Shiyuan thought for a moment, when was the God War again? It didn't seem to be mentioned in detail in the novel, but she guessed it was around Lin Qiye's birthday.

So in the original story, Lin Qiye was admitted to a mental hospital when he was a child. Mental hospitals probably don't celebrate birthdays. Last year, he couldn't celebrate his birthday at the training camp. This year, a huge disaster struck: Cangnan was destroyed. He couldn't handle the blow and went to a mental hospital, thus achieving the feat of being admitted to a mental hospital twice. After being released from the mental hospital, he was busy with war every year on his birthday...

Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit tragic...

"Hmm... It's nothing. Luckily, we can still make it. I suddenly remembered that Sister Hongying said she would celebrate our birthdays. But my birthday has already passed. Yours is fine though. I'll cook for you myself." Jiang Shiyuan blinked and casually brought up Sister Hongying.

“You’ve joined the Phoenix Special Squad, so getting leave won’t be so easy,” Lin Qiye shook his head.

“That’s true.” Jiang Shiyuan shrugged, but since the topic had already been brought up, she rolled her eyes and took off the [Alchemy Amulet] from her neck. “Here, this is for you.”

Lin Qiye's eyes flickered. "What?"

"Since I might not be able to attend your birthday party, the gift has to be something special. I can't go out to buy you a gift right now, so this is all I have on me."

Jiang Shiyuan smiled and placed the [Alchemy Amulet] in Lin Qiye's palm. There were four level-five inscriptions on it, so Lin Qiye definitely wouldn't lose out.

The main reason she gave Lin Qiye the Alchemy Amulet was that she already had the Broken Holy Grail and didn't need this small mana regeneration amulet. Besides, she had previously told Lin Qiye that she would give each member of Squad 136 an item, so giving it to him in advance would save her a gift. She was so clever!

Lin Qiye held the necklace for a long time before solemnly putting it away and softly saying, "Thank you."

"This can't be the first time you've received a birthday present, can it?" Jiang Shiyuan laughed.

Lin Qiye nodded and added, "Strictly speaking, this is the first time I've received a gift from someone other than my aunt and my brother."

"Ah...this..."

Jiang Shiyuan suddenly felt guilty. She had forgotten that Lin Qiye had been blind for so many years and didn't have many friends. This made her a little flustered. She couldn't help but reflect on whether she should put more thought into preparing such a special gift...

"Then you can keep this for now. I'll buy you a different gift from the mall after I leave the training camp. This is too informal as a birthday present."

"..."

The bright moonlight cast a soft glow. Lin Qiye looked up at the vast starry sky, his hands in his pockets, touching the necklace.

A few strands of his hair were gently lifted by the August night breeze; tonight, everything seemed soft and gentle.

"The best gift is not the gift itself, but the unexpected surprise, so I really like tonight's birthday present."
