Chapter 17 : Retiring on the Spot After Getting a Cool Car
"Ah, Senior Yu Xin, why are you here?"
Ye Lan asked curiously.
"Just out for a breather. The main battlefield for this Star Eclipse operation is unusually rare, and we don't need to be on standby in reality at all times. That being the case, there's no need to stay at the base constantly. We can just return in the evening."
Hearing Yu Xin's words, Ye Lan nodded thoughtfully.
"I see, that makes sense."
Before the Night Watchers found a method to counter this Star Eclipse, there was indeed no need to remain on standby at the base. Going out to relax before entering the Star Eclipse dream at night was actually the best choice.
"I understand. So where is Senior Yu Xin heading next?"
"It doesn't matter. I was just planning to wander around, and then I saw you and came over. I should be the one asking you, where are you going?"
"Hmm... I'm planning to go to this city's entertainment district. No matter which city I'm in, the entertainment district always seems to have some connection to me. Plus, I'm curious about it, so I wanted to go take a look."
Ye Lan didn't have much wariness towards Wang Chao's friend.
Yu Xin's position in her mind should be about the same as Wang Chao's.
Just a relatively trustworthy strong individual.
After hearing Ye Lan's words, Yu Xin lowered her head in thought, then said, "Then I'll take you there. I don't have anything to do right now, and I'd like to chat with you about some things."
Ye Lan blinked, feeling a bit flattered.
"Is that really okay?"
Having a Radiant Sun Night Watcher as her driver seemed a bit excessive no matter how she thought about it.
Come to think of it, she had seen Radiant Sun Night Watchers being underutilized in some aspects before.
Like Shu Yao having a very strong Radiant Sun Night Watcher serve as a librarian.
But this could also be considered a way of utilizing connections, and wasn't really a waste of resources.
Yes, that's right!
Yu Xin nodded lightly.
"Don't worry about it too much. Since I've already promised to protect you, I won't go back on my word. Taking you around the city isn't a big deal."
"Hmm, if it's not troublesome for you, then I'll be in your care," Ye Lan agreed.
"Follow me." Yu Xin started walking.
Ye Lan followed behind Yu Xin, accompanying her to an intersection.
Just as Ye Lan was wondering what she was going to do, she saw Yu Xin take out her phone and press some buttons, then start waiting.
"Hm?"
Ye Lan looked at her back puzzledly, not daring to say or ask anything.
And so, a minute passed.
At this point, Ye Lan suddenly heard a sound. She saw a hover car flying from the sky and stopping in front of the two of them, with no one in the driver's seat.
Then Yu Xin sat in the driver's seat, lightly tossing her head to indicate Ye Lan should get in.
"Get in, we're setting off."
"Oh..."
Ye Lan obediently sat in the passenger seat, proactively fastening her seatbelt.
"Is this Senior Yu Xin's car?"
"Yes, it's standard equipment for every Radiant Sun. It can be used for missions or personal use, and can freely drive on specific channels without worrying about traffic issues like congestion."
"I see."
Ye Lan suddenly felt that having a car of her own would be so cool.
Come on, this is a man's romance, okay!
And the standard-issue car for Radiant Sun Night Watchers must be much better than those sold outside.
It must have many impressive functions.
Ye Lan liked these kinds of cool and flashy things.
Her interests were quite broad; she would like anything that caught her fancy.
Falling in love at first sight with a cool car was very reasonable!
"Hey hey, Senior Yu Xin, if you become a Radiant Sun Night Watcher, does the headquarters give you a super cool car?"
"Ah... it should be like that."
"I see, then if I become a Radiant Sun Night Watcher, would they give me a car too?"
"They probably would."
Yu Xin wasn't entirely certain.
The organization treated every Night Watcher well, and was even more generous to those with exceptional abilities.
Radiant Sun Night Watchers not only held higher authority than ordinary Night Watchers, but also received better benefits.
They could easily give out hover cars like this with extremely high production costs.
In fact, this car was Star technology, though not as powerful as the Star technology used for combat.
Being associated with Star technology was enough to prove the car's value.
If Ye Lan really became a Radiant Sun Night Watcher, the headquarters would provide corresponding benefits.
A car was just a small part of it.
Moreover, the manufacturers had considered the characteristics of Star holders, so they set up a height and body type adjustment system. Even a little loli like Ye Lan could drive it smoothly.
Ye Lan's eyes lit up when she heard Yu Xin's answer.
"Then I've decided, I'll temporarily become a Radiant Sun Night Watcher later, get a cool car for free, and then retire on the spot!"
"Ah, this..."
Yu Xin truly hadn't expected such an operation.
Let's not even discuss whether Ye Lan had the ability to become a Radiant Sun Night Watcher.
If she became a Radiant Sun and retired on the spot, wouldn't she get scolded by the Leader?
"Can you drive?"
Not knowing what to say, Yu Xin could only choose to change the subject.
Ye Lan nodded and said, "I should be able to. I got a driver's license before, just didn't have money to buy a car."
"Can children get driver's licenses too?"
"I'm an adult."
Ye Lan calmly replied, seeming to be used to people treating her as a child.
But her usual behavior indeed didn't seem like an adult's, so it was normal to be treated as a child.
Being a mature adult was really too tiring.
Relaxing and going with the flow was a bit easier.
"So you're an adult, but your demeanor doesn't seem like it at all."
"Because I don't have the pressure that adults should have. There are many immature people among adults, I'm just one of them. I don't need to strive for anything, and at this stage, I don't need to bear any important responsibilities. Society's pressures can't constrain me, and I don't need to worry about all sorts of messy things. I rarely encounter anything that would make me mature. I really like this feeling."
"Is that so? Sounds nice."
Many people don't become so-called adults just because they reach the age of adulthood. It often takes experiencing many things before they're forced to mature.
What that so-called "maturity" represents, Ye Lan couldn't explain clearly either.
Taking on the responsibilities one should have, is that it?
It should be.
Ye Lan didn't want to think about so much. She just wanted to live happily in this world.
Not having to worry about life was one of the reasons she could relax.
How great was the daily life of cuddling with little lolis.
If she became an adult, she wouldn't have that thick skin anymore.
Anyway, Ye Lan quite enjoyed the daily life of being treated as a soft and cute little loli.
That Mo Tu guy hadn't felt the joy of becoming a little loli at all. He probably thought about finding amusement all day in his mind. It was really too boring.
She needed to find a time to make him soft and cute.
Mmhmm!
This feminization plan couldn't be delayed!
Ye Lan liked to drag people who laughed at her down with her.
Mo Tu often watched her for amusement.
So it wasn't too much for Ye Lan to turn the person watching for amusement into amusement in return, right?
