Chapter 2048: Captain's Meeting (4)

Li Ruanyu sprang up excitedly.

Zhao Chi's approval made Li Ruanyu very excited.

Her weariness seemed swept clean away in an instant.

Zhao Chi, however, asked curiously, "What method exactly would you use to add time?"

"I'll tell you in a bit — I'm not sure yet whether I can pull it off, but at the very least, let's agree on it first."

"Alright."

"Oh right, as for the money, we probably won't be able to collect it this time, given the special circumstances. And the price of your fashion and equipment also needs to be confirmed. But don't worry — if we can get through this safely, I absolutely won't let you take a loss, and I'll do my best to compensate you."

"It's fine." Zhao Chi cut Li Ruanyu off. "Money is a small matter. What I need most right now is stable time."

"Mm, alright…"

The way Li Ruanyu looked at Zhao Chi had completely changed.

She was the Lord, and there was no specific numerical value for Affinity.

But from trying it on Su Qin, she knew that they too had Affinity. Although no number was displayed, Zhao Chi could roughly infer it from the buffs his skills gave them.

Now he could sense that Li Ruanyu's gaze was different from before.

Had her Affinity already maxed out?

Li Ruanyu murmured, "…This time I'll report your merits to General Yan Ling completely and thoroughly, and let him…"

"Huh? No need, don't say it was me!" Zhao Chi hurriedly stopped her.

"This time is different — it's a great chance for you to become famous, and with a very good reputation!"

"Don't. Just put it under your name."

"Zhao Chi, this really is different this time. A lot of people should be grateful to you. I think maybe you should just…"

"The time isn't right yet. Just let me stand behind you — put it all on your name."

Li Ruanyu smiled and shook her head. "That's a very great reputation. If you give it to me, I'd truly feel unworthy of it — I just feel embarrassed about it."
