Chapter 209: Letter of Appointment

Gu Qing paced back and forth in excitement.

Tang Ruan watched her with a face full of envy, but said nothing.

Only a trace of loneliness showed in her eyes.

Zhao Chi understood that look in her eyes.

Life is full of disappointments—eight or nine out of ten things don't go as one wishes.

The gap between a hero and an ordinary person is hard to bridge.

No matter how hard Tang Ruan tried, she was still just a female militia member right now.

She might one day become a more formidable female soldier, but becoming a hero would not be easy.

Tang Ruan pulled back her envious gaze and suddenly noticed Zhao Chi looking at her.

Tang Ruan gave Zhao Chi another obedient little smile.

Zhao Chi smiled back at her and said nothing.

Open the system.

The system space held quite a few newly acquired items.

The "Silver Treasure Chest" awarded for first place.

The "Race Improvement Tome" won from Cao Feng's bet.

The "Primordial Shi Laimu Race Bloodline" obtained through desperate effort during the test.

And the "Spring-Returning Spring Blueprint" exchanged for with credits, along with the matching improvement tome.

And the "Body Piloting Skill Book" obtained from opening a treasure chest earlier.

Quite a haul.

Zhao Chi opened them one by one.

First, he took out that heavy silver treasure chest.

The chest's overall material really did look like silver—if he sold it, it should fetch a good price.

But Zhao Chi definitely wouldn't sell it.

Although opening a treasure chest had an element of gambling—if a good item came out, the harvest would naturally be plentiful.

If a junk item came out, then he'd just have to consider himself unlucky.

But this chance, Zhao Chi still wanted to keep in his own hands.

Open the chest.

The instant the chest lid opened, a dazzling light shot out.

It lit up a nearby area so brightly it was as if the sun had risen again.

Quickly, the light dimmed.
