At this moment, on the roof of the infirmary, four figures sat together.

A campfire burned in front of them, with a wire mesh for grilling placed above it.

Lin Shi was demonstrating his grilling skills, adding pepper, brushing on oil, then chili sauce, and constantly turning the meat on the grill.

Before long, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air.

"That's enough, Lin Shi, don't put so much chili on the chili. I'm from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, I can't handle spicy food." Baili Pangpang hurriedly stopped Lin Shi, who wanted to put the chili on the chili again.

"If you can't handle the spice, just wait for the next batch of grilled meat." Cao Yuan picked up a brush and brushed another layer of chili on the pieces of grilled meat in front of him.

Baili Pangpang quickly picked up a few pieces of not-so-spicy roasted meat in front of him, just in case Cao Yuan suddenly added chili peppers, leaving him in a dilemma of whether to eat it or not.

"Aren't we afraid of getting scolded for barbecuing so openly?" Baili Pangpang asked uncertainly.

"So what if I get scolded? We're all going our separate ways tomorrow, so there's no time to treat you guys to barbecue in Cangnan City. We'll just have to make do tonight," Lin Shi said nonchalantly.

"I'm a patient, I'll just get scolded at most, it doesn't matter." Lin Qiye ate the grilled meat that Lin Shi handed him, looking quite content.

On this day of injury, Lin Qiye enjoyed the treatment of being served by "Lin servants".

"I have a suggestion, how about Qi Ye transforms into a woman and dances for us to liven things up?" Lin Shi, who had been serving as Lin Qi Ye's servant for almost a day, started to get restless again.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan and Baili Pangpang's eyes lit up.

"roll……"

"Sigh—" All three of them sighed in disappointment.

“Seven Nights, I think… why don’t you and Lin Shi form a special team? You can be the vice-captain and Lin Shi can be the captain.” Baili Pangpang grinned.

Lin Qiye was taken aback. "Why am I the vice-captain?"

Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan ate their barbecue in silence, because they both felt that Qiye couldn't beat Lin Shi.

Moreover, Lin Shi has gained Instructor Hong's approval, who said that as long as Lin Shi reaches the "Sea" realm, he is very likely to become the captain of the fifth special squad.

"Forget about it, I won't become the captain of the fifth special squad. Besides, it's too early to form a special squad now."

"After all, we're only at the 'Pool' Realm right now, not even strong enough to be members of a special team, let alone captains," Lin Shi said.

Baili Pangpang sighed, "That's true..."

Lin Shi continued, "As long as Qi Ye and I are going to form a special team, we will definitely bring you in, right, Qi Ye?"

Lin Qiye nodded solemnly, "If that day ever comes, Lin Shi and I will definitely invite you."

“Then I’ll be waiting for you in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. You must come!” Baili Pangpang replied.

Cao Yuan followed up, saying, "Me too. I'll be waiting for you in Huaihai City."

At this moment, Baili Pangpang suddenly blurted out, "How about adding Zhai Ge and Molly as well?"

"A cool guy is fine, but Molly is not. I'm against office romances!" Lin Shi raised his hand.

Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan then raised their hands in succession, "I second that proposal."

"Sigh, alright!" Baili Pangpang didn't say anything more.

"Come on, don't just eat meat, have a skewer of chives too!"

Under the bright moonlight, four teenagers sat around a campfire, the sizzling sound of roasting meat echoing from time to time, their voices reverberating on the rooftop.

Today, this scene wasn't just playing out here at Lin Shi's place; similar scenes were quietly unfolding in every corner of the entire training camp, yet no instructor stepped forward to stop them.

......

The next morning.

All the new recruits were dressed in their military uniforms with great solemnity and gathered on the training ground.

Under the azure sky, the new recruits stood solemnly, neatly arranged in a square formation, their backs ramrod straight.

However, their faces were still filled with barely concealed excitement, because after taking the oath today, they would receive their own Starblade, cloak, and emblem.

This means that after a year of arduous training, at this most glorious moment, they are about to become true Night's Watchmen.

As the instructors took turns ascending the training platform, the oath-taking ceremony was about to begin.

Yuan Gang stood on the martial arts stage, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd, and calmly said, "Before the oath is taken, there is one more thing to announce."

After the natural disaster, you demonstrated the heroic spirit of the soldiers of our Great Xia.

Although you have not yet been formally sworn in as true members of the Night's Watch, you are already worthy of being called members of the Night's Watch in this rescue operation.

Therefore… each of you will be awarded a 'Spark' medal.

As he said this, Yuan Gang gave Lin Shi an apologetic look. If Lin Shi hadn't told him that the Ancient God Church would take action against them, their losses would have been enormous.

However, he couldn't tell the higher-ups that Lin Shi had discovered the Ancient God Church's intentions, since there were spies among the higher-ups.

They must not know about Lin Shi's special status, otherwise Lin Shi will be in great danger. This is also to protect Lin Shi.

But Yuan Gang felt he owed Lin Shi a great deal.

If he reports this matter, Lin Shi will at least receive a 'Star' medal, and might even get some substantial rewards.

These were all real benefits. Yuan Gang sighed inwardly, and could only reward Lin Shi out of his own pocket.

Let's use the [Azure Heart] as a reward to compensate Lin Shi.

He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and turned his gaze to the crowd below the stage.

"While you receive your medals, you will also receive the exclusive equipment belonging to each Night's Watchman. Whoever hears your name, come forward to receive it."

Immediately afterwards, the instructors carried up one huge metal box after another, opened them, and revealed hundreds of black boxes inside.

"Li Jia".

"Shen Qingzhu."

"Cao Yuan."

"Bai Li Tu Ming"

"..."

Everyone stepped forward in order to receive their own medal and black box.

Lin Shi discovered that his name was engraved on the side of the black box.

As expected, the black box contained the standard Night's Watch three-piece set: the Starblade, the cloak, and the emblem. His name was engraved on the Starblade, while the back of the emblem bore the four lines of small characters that were already familiar to everyone.

Below those four lines of small characters, Lin Shi's name was also engraved. Lin Shi also found a small switch on the side of the emblem, presumably for using the needle that popped out when the Ghost God Guide was activated, in order to administer the injection.

"These three pieces of equipment are probably familiar to you."

"Each item is imbued with its own unique meaning."

"The first item, the Star Blade: I don't know its material, but I do know that it will be your most loyal companion."

Because it is indestructible, no external force has been able to break its internal structure so far. The only thing that can leave a mark on it is your names, which were engraved on it from the very beginning.

Therefore, your names will be forever etched on this knife.

This sword… ever since it was forged, it was destined to accompany you, forever.

"This cloak is made with the most advanced nanotechnology, ensuring comfort while effectively protecting you from the effects of various extreme and harsh environments."

However, it's important to note that it's not armor, but just a cloak.

If it's damaged in battle, you can send it back to headquarters, and it will be back in perfect condition the next day.

"As for this emblem..."

Yuan Gang paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Its only purpose is to perish together with the enemy!"

It can unleash a person's full potential in a short period of time, but it will also gradually lead to death over time.

But this can create a chance for your teammates to survive, and in the final moments, it can protect your dignity.

"It... is your last shred of dignity, and your last 'faith.'"

After saying this, Yuan Gang calmed himself down and then solemnly addressed the new recruits who were about to become members of the Night's Watch:

"These three things are the best weapons we can give you: a sword, a shield, and your last shred of dignity."
