Chapter 193 The Clown
Chapter 193 The Clown
Lin Yao was thriving in the Night Raid camp, living a life of great success. His every move was observed by the members of his own Reincarnation Squad, who were filled with envy and resentment.
Watching Lin Yao's smooth sailing in the night raid, the members' eyes were filled with complex emotions—a mixture of longing, jealousy, and helplessness.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Yao had a powerful background and that many guild leaders were paying close attention to him, some people would probably have already been unable to restrain themselves and had some unpleasant thoughts.
Now, Yun Changjie, Chen Yujie, and others can only focus their attention on the night raid mission.
They were single-mindedly focused on doing more things and completing more tasks in order to increase their share in the reincarnation space missions and thus obtain the corresponding rewards.
They knew in their hearts that they had neither Lin Yao's sharp and unique thinking, nor his outstanding ability to guide others, nor his extremely approachable and handsome face.
The only option is to work hard in other areas to try and improve one's rewards in this mission space.
Although this team seemed somewhat inferior to Lin Yao, they were actually an extremely elite rookie team within the entire guild.
Each member of the squad possesses exceptional abilities, works seamlessly together, and their combat capabilities should not be underestimated.
In order to catch up with Lin Yao, they set their sights on the mission of killing a rival Teigu user.
This task requires them to work together with Hill and Mine, which they see as a great opportunity to prove themselves and earn a substantial reward.
After learning this news, Lin Yao pondered to himself.
He knew that their opponent was Seryu, and Seryu's Teigu "Hundred-Armed Giant Quincamum" was not an easy opponent to deal with.
This Imperial Arm looks like a docile puppy in its initial state, but don't be fooled by its appearance. It is the culprit that killed Night Raid member Sheele in the original timeline, so you must not let your guard down.
Lin Yao decided to participate in this mission partly because he didn't quite trust the people in the guild and was worried that they might fail the mission due to lack of experience or oversight, or even put Hill and Mine in danger.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see what kind of reward he would receive for changing the course of history.
Moreover, Hill and Mine usually got along very well with him, and he really didn't want to see them end up in such a miserable state.
Hill and Mine had not yet arrived when the team assembled.
Wei Qihang was squatting to the side, intently adjusting the assault rifle in his hand, occasionally taking out his tactical knife and rubbing it against the stone, the blade making a "shush" sound as it rubbed against the stone.
He raised his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said to Lin Yao in a sarcastic tone:
"Hey, Young Master Lin, haven't you been busy spreading your ideas and guiding training lately? Why are you suddenly joining this mission? This mission is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly. You absolutely mustn't hold everyone back. I advise you to think this through carefully, so you don't drag us down with you."
Compared to Yun Changjie and Chen Xinjie, who were wary of Lin Yao's background and spoke cautiously and reservedly, Wei Qihang had no such concerns. He was like a fearless young man.
He simply doesn't understand that even in the cycle of reincarnation, one should know how to be humble and respectful when one is not powerful enough to far surpass others.
Wei Qihang joined the guild's elite team during the last mission, so he was no ordinary person to be able to join the team.
He possesses three core skills: proficiency in firearms, proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, and the ability to imbue bullets with his mental energy, placing him in the middle tier of the squad.
In his view, he was so young and had so little experience in the world, yet he was able to join the elite team. He believed that as long as he accumulated more experience, he could surpass the others in the team.
Even the captain and vice-captains Yun Changjie and Chen Xinjie are no match for them.
It was precisely because of this arrogance that, before anyone else could express their emotions, he unabashedly vented his dissatisfaction in this sarcastic and unpleasant way.
In his eyes, Lin Yao's previous performance was nothing more than using smooth talk to build relationships; his strength was not worth mentioning at all, and he could not compare to him, a genius who had fought in real battles.
Moreover, there were so many beautiful girls in the night raid, like Akame, Mine, and Hill, who all treated Lin Yao differently, which fueled his jealousy.
In his opinion, Lin Yao was just a braggart, yet he managed to gain a good position during night raids.
Because they gained the favor of many people, they even had a significant advantage in the task reward rating, which is really unfair.
Jealousy was like a venomous snake, constantly coiling and gnawing at his heart, making him increasingly extreme and narrow-minded.
Lin Yao listened quietly to Wei Qihang's words, his face showing no anger whatsoever. He simply smiled faintly and said:
"Wei Qihang, since I've decided to participate in this mission, I naturally have my reasons. If you think I'll hold you back, let's see if my abilities are as strong as you claim."
After saying that, Lin Yao ignored Wei Qihang and turned to check his equipment.
It's pointless to argue with these brainless people who only think about strength and don't even understand the value of the ideas they spread or the training they provide.
Especially since the captain and vice-captain hadn't said a word before he jumped out, even if he had some talent, who knows when or where he might die.
After Lin Yao left, Yun Changjie and Chen Xinjie came over.
Yun Changjie glanced at Lin Yao's retreating figure with a deep look in his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, then patted Wei Qihang on the shoulder and said softly:
"Qihang, let's keep quiet. Lin Yao must have some special skills to do so well in the night raid. Let's focus on the mission."
As for Chen Xinjie, who had a beaming smile on his face, he chimed in from the side:
"Yes, this mission is of great importance. We can't let internal conflicts affect its completion. Everyone should focus on the mission, work together, and strive to complete it successfully."
Although Wei Qihang was still somewhat unconvinced, he had no choice but to shut up and continue preparing his equipment after being persuaded by the captain and vice-captain.
However, there was still some resentment in his eyes.
