Chapter 92

The treasure chest gradually became transparent.

In the end, what appeared in Zhao Chi’s hand was a piece of paper.

Paper?

【You have obtained an item】:

【Primary Hero Appointment Letter ×1】

(Primary Hero Appointment Letter: Can be used on any resident, allowing the target individual to be promoted to a Primary Hero)

Good stuff!

It truly lives up to being a silver-tier treasure chest.

Zhao Chi looked at Tang Ruan with pleasant surprise.

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

He had just been lamenting the lack of one, and unexpectedly, he had opened this item immediately.

This little girl Tang Ruan really has good fortune.

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

Tang Ruan’s attributes were quite high, reaching a full 26 points; while not comparable to Gu Qing, it was 2 points higher than the other villagers.

Moreover, Tang Ruan had a very good personality.

She was well-behaved, hardworking, and as a beautiful woman with an appearance rating of 7, she was certainly worthy of using this appointment letter.

Zhao Chi was very happy.

He patted Tang Ruan’s soft shoulder with great satisfaction.

Gu Qing smiled and asked, "My lord, what good thing did you open? You seem so happy."

Tang Ruan also started laughing: "That’s right, I’ve never seen the Lord so happy before."

Zhao Chi laughed heartily: "Haha, Tang Ruan, soon you’ll be the one who’s happy!"

"Ah? Me?"

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

Gu Qing also shook her head.

Zhao Chi took Tang Ruan’s small hand.

"Come here, this is for you."

The appointment letter was not large; it looked more like a card.

Placed in Tang Ruan’s hand, it fit perfectly.

Tang Ruan widened her eyes, looking at the item in her hand in disbelief.

"M... My lord, wh... what is this?"

Tang Ruan was completely bewildered; she actually didn’t recognize this item.

It was no wonder, as this Hero Appointment Letter had no text on it, only some mysterious patterns.

Gu Qing also leaned in: "Wow! Tang Ruan, this is a Hero Appointment Letter, you can become a hero! Hurry up and thank the Lord!"

Gu Qing’s voice was also very excited; she was genuinely happy for Tang Ruan.

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

She certainly knew how precious this thing was.

Zhao Chi smiled: "Just use it directly."

"I... I, I can't take this..."

Tang Ruan actually pushed her hands out, trying to return the appointment letter to Zhao Chi.

"My lord, I am too weak right now, I have no qualifications to use this appointment letter..."

Gu Qing smiled:

"You clearly want it so much, why are you refusing?

"Just give it your all in the future and work hard to complete the tasks the Lord gives you, won't that be enough?

"It’s just the beginning now, so of course your abilities are insufficient, but we will all keep improving.

"You still have to protect the Lord, have you forgotten?"

After Gu Qing said this, 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 become strong, you will be a great help to me as well."

Zhao Chi took Tang Ruan’s hand again and gave her the appointment letter.

This time, Tang Ruan did not refuse again.

However, her little mouth pouted to the side, looking as if she were about to cry.

"My lord, I will definitely give it my all!!"

Her words were firm and decisive.

She held it in, but the next second she still "wahed" and lunged forward.

She threw herself into Zhao Chi’s arms, sobbing.

【Your subordinate Tang Ruan’s loyalty has increased to 6: Sincere and Genuine】

【Your subordinate Tang Ruan’s loyalty has increased to 7: Heart-to-Heart】

(Heart-to-Heart: Extremely satisfied with the current situation, often feels gratitude, and will do her utmost to perform orders and work well)

【Tang Ruan’s "Affection Level" has been unlocked, currently at the "Heart-Fluttering" stage】

(Heart-Fluttering: First stage of affection; when using skills on her, the effect increases by 20%)

A series of system notifications followed.

Tang Ruan’s loyalty had actually jumped two levels, surpassing Gu Qing’s 6 points to reach a loyalty level of 7.

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

In the future, using skills on Tang Ruan would also provide an additional 20% effect.

Loyalty was also useful.

Besides ensuring she wouldn't betray him, she would also work very hard and diligently to complete tasks.

Tang Ruan would likely be even more proactive in her work from now on.

Zhao Chi looked at Tang Ruan in his arms, not knowing what to do.

Gu Qing reached out, hugging the air with one hand and gently stroking the air in front of her with the other, then winked at Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi nodded.

He gently hugged Tang Ruan’s waist and then tenderly stroked her back.

Gu Qing nodded gently.

Tang Ruan’s agitated emotions quickly calmed down.

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

Her eyes were red.

Zhao Chi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It’s okay, no need to apologize. Go ahead and activate the appointment letter."

"Mm!"

Tang Ruan activated it with anticipation.

The Primary Hero Appointment Letter emitted a soft light.

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

Tang Ruan’s whole body began to glow faintly, giving off a sense of holiness.

【Your subordinate Tang Ruan can be promoted to a Primary Hero. You may draw her initial talents and skills. Hero attributes have been activated; please set the initial information】

Tang Ruan could become a Primary Hero directly.

A Primary Hero is also the lowest rank of hero.

Gu Qing should have also been a Primary Hero originally, but at that time Zhao Chi was only an intern lord, and permissions for various aspects had not been unlocked.

Therefore, Gu Qing appeared as an initial hero.

Now that Zhao Chi had become a Primary Lord, all permissions were unlocked.

Gu Qing would also be able to be promoted to a Primary Hero.
