Godslayer: I use the costume system to cosplay as a god!

Outside the fasting place, less than a kilometer away on the sea.

"Hello, Commander Ye."

The crowd obediently spoke up.

Ye Fan smiled and waved his hand, "You guys have given me a big surprise."

"This is the first time I've met someone who has escaped from the fasting place."

The five men exchanged a glance and chuckled awkwardly.

Lin Qiye coughed twice and forced himself to speak, "Commander, a year of observation is really too long..."

"Yes, I also think it takes too long."

Ye Fan sighed.

"..."

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble." Ye Fan shook his head with a smile. "I heard about what happened at the fasting place on my way here. I should thank you for helping to guard the fasting place and preventing those prisoners from escaping."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, and Cao Yuan, although they did not think it was wrong to run away from the fasting place, they inevitably felt a little guilty in front of the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch.

"Moreover, even if you hadn't run away from the fasting place today, I would have let you out anyway," Ye Fan said with a smile.

"So what do you want from us?" Lin Lin asked.

"Lin Qiye, Lin Lin." Ye Fan's gaze fell on Lin Qiye and Lin Lin, and he asked seriously, "What do you think of the special team?"

"A special team?" Lin Qiye and Lin Lin exchanged a glance. Lin Lin blinked. "I'll see with my eyes."

Ye Fan: "..."

The rest: "..."

Lin Lin coughed twice. "Just kidding. A special team... composed of highly skilled individuals, shouldering different missions, carrying out extremely difficult tasks—a night watchman version of special forces?"

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment before speaking: "A special team composed of a group of extremely powerful individuals, each shouldering different important missions?"

Ye Fan nodded. "What you said is all correct."

"So, which of you two do you think is more suitable to be the leader of a special squad?"

"he!"

This was Lin Lin pointing at Lin Qiye without hesitation.

"what?"

This is Lin Qiye's surprise.

"Cough cough cough..."

This was Baili Pangpang, who had almost choked to death on his own saliva. He patted his chest for a while to catch his breath before looking at Lin Lin and Lin Qiye in shock.

Of course, not only him, but An Qingyu and Cao Yuan on the side were also startled and turned to look at the two of them at the same time.

Lin Lin, however, remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by Ye Fan's question.

"Oh? Why do you think it's Lin Qiye?" Ye Fan smiled and asked with some curiosity.

"Actually, we had already discussed this issue during the training camp."

Lin Lin chuckled, "If we were to form a special squad, Qi Ye would definitely be the captain."

"Was this discussed at the training camp?"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Are you so confident that you can form a special team on your own?"

"If we couldn't do it, you wouldn't have come to ask us this question today, would you?"

Lin Lin looked into Ye Fan's eyes and chuckled softly.

"You're right." Ye Fan nodded with a smile.

At this point, the others also calmed down.

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "Is the fifth special team already in the planning stages?"

Ye Fan nodded, "That's right. More and more mysterious entities are appearing within the Great Xia region, and their strength is also increasing, making the burden on the few special teams that are still there heavier and heavier."

Furthermore, the entire Great Xia Dynasty is in a special situation, requiring a new special team to fulfill the functions of the Fifth Special Team. Therefore, the establishment of the Fifth Team is imminent.

The most crucial aspect of forming a brand-new special team is choosing the team leader.

"That is, the two of you: Lin Lin, the divine agent of the Forbidden Ruins; and Lin Qiye, the unprecedented dual divine agent."

Ye Fan looked at the two people standing in front of him and said, "Both of you are undoubtedly prodigies. I have been thinking about who should be the captain for a long time."

"In the end, I still want to leave the decision to you two, after all, you are the ones who know you best."

“As I just said, Commander,” Lin Lin chuckled, “the captain appointed Qi Ye as the captain.”

"If you've made up your minds, I have no objections." Ye Fan nodded with a smile. "However, may I ask why? Don't you want to be the captain and lead everyone?"

"Do not want to."

Lin Lin looked intently into Ye Fan's eyes and said sincerely, "I really don't want to; it sounds too troublesome."

Ye Fan asked with some surprise, "Just because of this?"

Lin Lin blinked. "Otherwise what?"

Lin Qiye glanced helplessly at Lin Lin, and said with a forced smile, "Commander, that's just how Lin Lin talks... He just doesn't like to be reserved, it's not intentional! Really!"

Ye Fan: "..."

Lin Qiye coughed twice and changed the subject, asking, "So, why was the captain of the special team chosen from between me and Lin Lin?"

"After all, aren't we both newcomers who have only been with the company for a little over a year? Shouldn't we be the ones with more experience and more ability?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "The two points you mentioned are indeed points of contention among the higher-ups recently."

But for special teams, none of these are the most important things. As I just said, the most important thing for a special team leader is... potential.

Ye Fan gazed at Lin Lin and Lin Qiye, his voice slightly deep: "The Special Squad is a team composed of the most promising individuals in Great Xia. Each of them is a genius, a prodigy! And the captain of the Special Squad must be a genius among geniuses, a prodigy among prodigies! He must have the ability to control the entire squad, he must lead the entire squad to grow, and he must be ahead of everyone else!"

Only when the captain walks faster will the other team members desperately try to keep up, thus improving the overall strength of the team!

"Therefore, the captain of the fifth special squad must be one of the two of you."

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and nodded.

Lin Lin calmly accepted the evaluation.

The three people standing nearby understood perfectly well that these two were indeed prodigies!

"Of course, Lin Qiye, the two questions you raised earlier are indeed quite controversial..." Ye Fan changed the subject, "So, we won't immediately appoint you as the captain of the fifth special team, but rather establish a reserve team first."

As he spoke, Ye Fan handed the documents in his hand to Lin Lin and Lin Qiye. "The reserve team will not be officially recognized for the time being, nor will it be recorded in the files. Like a ghost, it will appear when an incident that needs to be resolved occurs in a city or uninhabited area. Therefore, it is best not to have direct contact with the local Night Watch squad. This is also one of the requirements for the reserve team's assessment, to train your ability to deal with various situations on your own."

Lin Lin and Lin Qiye nodded, understanding; special team interns.

"Of course, once the conditions for becoming a special team are met, the reserve team can immediately become a full-fledged team and officially assume the functions of the fifth special team," Ye Fan added.

"What conditions?"

"First, the team must have a minimum of six people and a maximum of nine people; "

Secondly, the team leader must reach the peak of the Sea Realm, and all other team members must also reach the Sea Realm.

Third, the team must have experience in defeating an enemy at the 'Boundless' realm at least once.

Fourth, the entire squad must have made significant contributions and earned a collective merit of 'Star' or higher.

Ye Fan paused after speaking, then continued, "As for the function of the Fifth Special Squad... you'll find out later. For now, I can only tell you that it's related to the area outside the mist..."

Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a deep breath as if he had thought of something.

"By the way, about the selection of reserve team members..." Lin Lin raised an eyebrow.

"The captain has absolute right to choose the reserve team members, and also has the special right to recruit non-night watchmen into the team." Ye Fan's lips curled up slightly as he glanced at An Qingyu, the only person wearing prison clothes, and then looked at Lin Qiye.

"This is just a reserve team. Once they are officially promoted, the special team will have even greater authority."

Lin Qiye and Lin Lin exchanged a glance, then scanned the room. Meeting the expectant or smiling gazes of the others, Lin Qiye slowly nodded.

"I'm willing to be the captain."
