**Chapter 111: Vacation**

"Someone wants to make a move on the training camp?" Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes. "Are they insane? With so many instructors stationed here—both overt and covert—how could they even dare?"

"There are people who, if the profit is great enough, will do anything."

"What profit could possibly come from a recruit training camp?"

"You know better than I do, Instructor Yuan, what kind of people are in this camp," Chen Muye said calmly.

Yuan Gang opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.

"Just the young master of the Baili Group alone—do you know what price has been put on his head in the black market?" Chen Muye raised a hand and gestured a number.

"Eight hundred million. Someone is willing to pay eight hundred million to take the life of the sole heir of the Baili Group.

That’s no small sum. Eight hundred million is enough to make countless people risk everything!

Killing the young master of the Baili Group in Guangdong City would be nearly impossible, but here in this small Cangnan City… I believe many would be willing to take the risk.

Instructor Yuan, do you think the defenses of this training camp are tighter than the Baili Group’s headquarters?"

Chen Muye paused, then continued:

"And that’s not all. Besides the Baili heir, your camp also holds an unprecedented Dual-God Agent!

Though few know this now, do you really think the Church of the Ancient Gods wouldn’t? Do you think they’ll just sit quietly by and wait for Lin Qiye to grow stronger?

With the Baili heir and a Dual-God Agent in your camp, you’ll never escape the storm they bring.

They’ve held back for five months. Now that they’re making a move, they must be fully prepared. So tell me—do you still think this training camp is safe?"

Yuan Gang was silent for a long time, his eyes filled with resolve. "As long as I’m here, no one will harm them."

"You’re the deputy captain of the Shangjing City Night Watch team, a Sea Realm powerhouse. With you here, of course it’s safer. But…"

Chen Muye’s gaze sharpened as he slowly said:

"Can you guarantee that none of your instructors… are traitors?"

*Thud—!*

Yuan Gang shot up from his seat, staring straight into Chen Muye’s eyes.

"What are you implying?"

"Never underestimate the lure of profit. Never overestimate the strength of human nature… I said it before—eight hundred million is enough to drive most people insane!

Even if your instructors are truly united, the Church of the Ancient Gods has agents skilled in manipulation and mind control. Can you guarantee none of your instructors have been compromised?"

"So according to you, our training camp is now beset by internal and external threats, surrounded by enemies on all sides?" Yuan Gang sneered. "If even our camp can’t stop them, what makes you think your 136 Squad can keep Lin Qiye safe?"

"Because we’re only six people, and we know each other inside and out. At least we don’t have internal threats. As for external ones…" Chen Muye smiled faintly.

"Our 136 Squad has never feared external threats."

Yuan Gang looked at Chen Muye and fell silent.

The Shangjing City Night Watch team was the elite of the elite among all Night Watch squads in Great Xia. Yuan Gang, as its deputy captain, was no fool.

As Chen Muye said, the training camp was a massive target. With over a hundred instructors and support staff combined, could he truly guarantee there were no spies among them?

If the situation outside was as dire as Chen Muye described, defending against attacks from all sides would already be difficult. If there were traitors within, the situation would become even more critical.

After a long silence, Yuan Gang slowly sat back down. "So what do you think we should do?"

Chen Muye tapped his knuckles on the table and said, word by word:

"Slip away like a golden cicada shedding its shell. Break into smaller groups."

A sharp whistle pierced the sky.

Recruits poured out of the dormitories and sprinted toward the training ground. In less than three minutes, everyone had assembled below the drill platform.

Instructor Hong counted the numbers and nodded.

"Good. After five months of training, you’re finally starting to look like soldiers…"

Below, the recruits stood tall, their gazes sharp.

"This afternoon, we’re not doing physical training. Instead, I have an announcement…" Instructor Hong swept his gaze across the crowd, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. "The first half of this training camp—the physical training phase—will end one month early!

That means starting today, our focus will shift to tactics, firearms, and Forbidden Ruins!"

At this, the recruits erupted in joy, whispering excitedly among themselves.

"Qiye, Qiye! Did you hear that? The nightmare is finally over…" Baili Pangpang was so emotional he nearly cried.

Lin Qiye also let out a long sigh of relief. Physical training was important, but no one wanted to be exhausted all day long. The news of ending it early was a blessing to everyone!

"And there’s more!"

Instructor Hong spoke again, and the crowd instantly quieted.

"After discussion among all instructors, we’ve decided to give you a break before the next phase begins!

Starting today until the second day of the Lunar New Year—that’s four full days of vacation!"

If the previous announcement had excited them, this one made them freeze in disbelief—then burst into cheers!

"Holy crap!! Qiye! Did you hear that?! We’re actually getting a vacation!" Baili Pangpang grabbed Lin Qiye’s clothes, jumping like a two-hundred-pound child.

"We’re really getting time off?" Cao Yuan’s eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.

"Qiye! Let’s pack up later—I’ll take you to Guangdong for fun…"

Before Baili Pangpang could finish, Instructor Hong added:

"But! No one is allowed to leave Cangnan. If anyone violates this rule, they’ll be immediately disqualified from joining the Night Watch!"

Baili Pangpang: …

Lin Qiye patted his shoulder. "Don’t count on me. I don’t have a place to stay either."

"Everyone, go back to the dorms and pack up. Assemble back here in thirty minutes. Buses will take you out. Understood?!"

"Understood!"

"Dismissed!"

*Whoosh—!*

The neat formation instantly scattered, everyone’s face filled with excitement. Though they couldn’t go home, just getting out to breathe and feel the world again was something to celebrate.

"Qiye, let’s go! Time to pack!" Baili Pangpang called out when he saw Lin Qiye standing still.

Lin Qiye frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"Don’t you think… this vacation came a little too suddenly?"
