Chapter 1535: Chapter 1529: Nightingale (Part 1)

I originally planned to go to school for a class and then head back.

After arriving at school, I found that the first class in the afternoon had already ended.

And there was only one class in the afternoon.

I greeted Gu Xiaoxian and Peng Bo, then headed back home.

At home, I noticed at a glance that the giant bear had gained weight again.

Something’s not right!

Because every time I leave home, the giant bear seems to suffer greatly when it comes to food.

It ends up losing quite a bit of weight.

Could it be that the cooking skills of the two little ones have greatly improved?

I didn’t find out until the evening.

The two little ones had already lost interest in the giant bear.

So its meals were all takeout ordered from the app.

Even if the takeout isn’t that good.

It’s definitely much tastier than what the two little ones make, by a long shot.

The Ginseng King is still the same as always.

No changes.

After all, it doesn’t eat human food.

At this time, only the giant bear and the Ginseng King are at home.

The two little ones are out playing and haven’t returned.

Bai Bing seems to be very busy with work lately.

This was known from the information from Xu Hong and Wenhai.

I heard there are several big projects.

He returned from the capital today; it was a rather rushed trip.

Not like before.

He would send a text to them upon returning.

He entered the house and took a shower, then changed into more comfortable clothes.

After that, he lay on the sofa and started playing on his phone.

When he plays on his phone, unlike contemporary people, it’s not short videos, novels, games, shopping, movies, or anything like those.

He’s not interested in any of that.

He logged into the Mercenary Home forum.

To see if there’s anything worth attention on there.

The first post on the forum.

Immediately caught his attention.

Because the first post is about his former Dark Night Mercenary Corps.

Don’t assume that just because it’s called a corps, it has many people; that’s where you’d be wrong.

The Dark Night Mercenary Corps is actually just a team, a five-member team.

It’s just that such a nickname sounds quite fierce, so they chose it.

He was the captain of it.

The other four team members were one woman and three men.

Their relationship even exceeded that of the dormitory trio with Peng Bo.

After all, during that time, everyone came and went from the war together.

It was indeed because of that period that the Dark Night Mercenary Corps gained a huge reputation in the chaotic regions.

It could be said that it was the First Mercenary Corps, and it wouldn’t be exaggerating.

The post title was: The Plight of the Dark Night Mercenary Corps.

Lin Xi clicked in out of curiosity and watched for a while.

He roughly understood what was happening.

However, he dismissed his worries.

No big incident had occurred.

It’s just, as the post said, a predicament.

It mentioned that ever since their captain left.

The Dark Night Mercenary Corps hadn’t accepted any new members.

Of course, many people wanted to join, but they were refused by the members of the Dark Night Mercenary Corps.

This also led to them remaining as four people.

The four without their captain.

Although they are all at the Soldier King Realm.

And that was several years ago.

Maybe now some are Advanced Soldier Kings.

But even so.

Their overall strength, lacking Lin Xi the captain, has greatly decreased.

Or rather, their hearts aren’t as united as before.

It’s not that the four have conflicts.

On the contrary, their feelings are exceptionally good.

No conflicts exist at all.

It’s just missing a rope to bind them together.

The post also mentioned.

Their recent missions weren’t perfect.

Some even got injured.

The injuries weren’t too serious.

Moreover, they quickly dropped from the First Mercenary Corps in rank.

Seeing the word "injured," Lin Xi frowned slightly.

He felt something was off with this.

The four are quite aware of their capabilities.

In fact, they are exceedingly smart.

They definitely wouldn’t take on tasks beyond their abilities.

Especially after Lin Xi left.

They should be more cautious.

Therefore, the probability of injury is very low.

Moreover, Lin Xi had instructed before he left.

You are not short on money!

Nor lacking anything else!

So future missions must be within your capability range.

Getting injured!

Is not acceptable.

Why aren’t they listening?

To know, they are the ones who listen to him the most.

Of course, this might seem normal from others’ perspectives.

As a mercenary corps, taking on missions and getting injured is unavoidable.

But Lin Xi knows.

As the Dark Night Mercenary Corps.

It is extremely rare.

Every plan they execute is almost perfect.

Which point?

What time?

The distance between?

Etcetera!

It’s all precisely calculated.

And it’s all under the premise of ensuring their safety.

Thus, the probability of injury is incredibly minuscule.

Especially since their captain, Lin Xi, has left.

They haven’t recruited new members.

The four of them definitely can’t collaborate as perfectly as before.

So they should be more cautious.

Aside from discussing this.

There’s also some gossip.

For instance, the only female among them is Nightingale.

I heard she had something going on with their former captain, King of the Dark Night.

They had a fling or something.

While the other two male members have always liked Nightingale.

It’s also because of this.

That caused the split in the Dark Night Mercenary Corps.

Which resulted in the captain leaving.

Seeing this, Lin Xi’s face went dark.

What the heck?

This poster is spreading nonsense.

Nightingale likes Lin Xi.

But neither of the other two members, regardless of which.

Lin Xi knows they both treat her like a sister.

All four treat each other like siblings.

There’s no romantic feelings between them.

Nightingale’s relationship with him is unusual!

That’s true, it’s not false.

However, due to certain reasons, it hasn’t developed into a romantic relationship.

This poster.

Judging by the content.

It’s utterly nonsensical.

There’s no truth to it.

Hence, Lin Xi also suspected the other content in the post.

Could it be? It’s also nonsensical.

Because, according to Lin Xi’s calculations.

They are not reckless people and extremely smart, combined with his instructions.

So they definitely wouldn’t do anything too risky.

As long as they aren’t overly adventurous, given their abilities, there certainly wouldn’t be any safety issues.

If they really were in trouble.

Considering Nightingale’s frighteningly awesome hacker skills, she could definitely locate him.

So he wasn’t overly worried.

While browsing other posts, he didn’t find anything worth attention.

Most of them were anecdotes.

About things after mercenary corps completed missions.

Perhaps because of these, it attracts people to read.

But Lin Xi doesn’t like this gossip or sharing.

So he was about to close the forum after a short while.

At the moment he was about to close, a newly appeared post caught his eyes.
