Chapter 210

The treasure chest also gradually turned transparent.

What finally appeared in Zhao Chi's hand was a piece of paper.

Paper?

【You have obtained item】:

【Junior Hero Commission ×1】

(Junior Hero Commission: Can be used on any resident, can promote the target to a Junior Hero)

Good stuff!

Worthy of a silver-quality treasure chest.

Zhao Chi looked at Tang Ruan with pleasant surprise.

With this, Tang Ruan could be promoted to a Hero!

Just moments ago he had been lamenting, and now he'd opened exactly this item.

This little girl Tang Ruan really has good luck.

Although the item was quite precious, Zhao Chi was willing to use it on Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan's stats were very high, a full 26 points — though not as good as Gu Qing's, still 2 points higher than the other villagers.

And Tang Ruan had a very good personality.

Obedient, hardworking, and a beautiful woman with 7 points in appearance — of course she was worth using this commission on.

Zhao Chi was very happy.

He patted Tang Ruan's soft, tender shoulder with great satisfaction.

Gu Qing smiled: "My lord, what good thing did you open? You're this happy?"

Tang Ruan also laughed: "Yes, I've never seen the Lord this happy before."

Zhao Chi laughed heartily: "Haha, Tang Ruan, in a moment you'll be the one who's happy!"

"Huh? Me?"

Tang Ruan looked at Zhao Chi in bewilderment, then looked at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing also shook her head.

Zhao Chi took Tang Ruan's little hand.

"Here, this is for you."

The commission wasn't large — it looked more like a card.

Placed in Tang Ruan's hand, it fit just right.

Tang Ruan's eyes went wide, staring at the item in her hand in disbelief.

"M… my lord, wh… what is this?"

Tang Ruan's face was blank — she actually didn't recognize this item.

No wonder — this Hero Commission had no text on it, only some mysterious patterns.

Gu Qing also leaned over: "Wow! Tang Ruan, this is a Hero Commission — you can become a Hero! Hurry up and thank the Lord!"

Gu Qing's voice was also very excited; she sincerely felt happy for Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan looked up at Gu Qing in shock, then looked at Zhao Chi.

Of course she knew how precious this thing was.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Just use it directly."

"I… I, I can't accept this…"

Tang Ruan actually pushed with both hands, pushing the commission back to Zhao Chi.

"My lord, I'm too weak right now, I don't have the qualifications to use this commission…"

Gu Qing smiled:

"It's obvious you want it desperately, so why refuse?

"From now on just give it your all, work hard to complete the tasks the Lord gives you, won't that be enough?

"We've only just started, of course our abilities are lacking, but we'll all keep improving.

"You still have to protect the Lord, remember?"

After Gu Qing's words, Tang Ruan didn't know what to say.

Zhao Chi smiled: "What Gu Qing said is exactly what I wanted to say. Keep it up, Tang Ruan — once you grow stronger, it'll be a great help to me too."

Zhao Chi took Tang Ruan's hand again and handed her the commission.

This time Tang Ruan didn't refuse.

But her little mouth pursed to one side, as if about to cry at any moment.

"My lord, I will give it everything I've got!!"

She spoke with absolute resolve.

She held it in, but the next second she still threw herself forward with a "wah."

She threw herself into Zhao Chi's arms and sobbed.

【Your subordinate Tang Ruan's sincerity level already has risen to 6: Sincere and True】

【Your subordinate Tang Ruan's sincerity level already has risen to 7: Heart-to-Heart】

(Heart-to-Heart: Very satisfied with the current situation, will often feel grateful emotions, and will give maximum effort to commands and work)

【Tang Ruan's "Favorability" has been unlocked, current level is "Heart Flutter"】

(Heart Flutter: Sensitivity Tier One, when using skills on her, effects increase by 20%)

A string of system notifications.

Tang Ruan's loyalty actually jumped two levels in one go, surpassing Gu Qing's 6 points and reaching 7 points of loyalty.

At the same time, Tang Ruan's affection was also unlocked.

From now on, using skills on Tang Ruan will additionally increase the effect by another 20%.

And loyalty is also useful.

Besides not betraying, she will also complete tasks very diligently and wholeheartedly.

Tang Ruan will probably be even more proactive in doing things from now on.

Zhao Chi looked at Tang Ruan in his arms, unsure of what to do.

Gu Qing reached out, one arm wrapping around the air, the other gently stroking the air in front of her, then winked at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi nodded.

He gently wrapped his arm around Tang Ruan's waist, then softly stroked her back.

Gu Qing nodded gently.

Tang Ruan's excited emotions quickly calmed down.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I was just too excited."

Her eyes were red-rimmed.

Zhao Chi wiped the tears from the corner of her eye: "It's fine, no need to apologize. Go ahead and activate the commission."

"Mm!"

Tang Ruan activated it expectantly.

The Junior Hero Commission emitted a soft glow.

The light flowed like a stream, slowly pouring into Tang Ruan's body.

Tang Ruan's entire body glowed faintly, giving off an unexpectedly sacred feeling.

【Your subordinate Tang Ruan can be promoted to Junior Hero. You may draw her initial talent and skills for her. Hero attributes have been activated. Please set initial information.】

Tang Ruan can directly become a Junior Hero.

Junior Hero is also the lowest tier of hero.

Gu Qing should have originally been a Junior Hero as well, but at that time Zhao Chi was still only a probationary lord, and the permissions in all aspects had not been unlocked yet.

So Gu Qing appeared as an initial hero.

Now Zhao Chi has already become a Junior Lord, and all permissions are unlocked.

Gu Qing can also be promoted to Junior Hero now.
