Chapter 1107

They felt Lin Cheng was probably nothing special, and that the legion commander had likely misjudged him.

"No... I just felt you needed a little help. At the very least, your current strength isn't enough to match the investigation mission. That underground slave trading venue needs a little help from me."

Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes into a smile and made a tiny gesture with his finger.

Without a system-issued mission, Lin Cheng might have told General Ji Xia to stay out of these matters. But now the system had issued a mission and even revealed some information, so he had no choice but to get involved.

It was even a chain mission, with unknown rewards, which made him a little curious.

"Mm?"

General Ji Xia was even more baffled now. What exactly did Lin Cheng want to do? Help, what kind of help?

Very soon, she found out.

When an inheritance light orb was held in General Ji Xia's hand, Lin Cheng's meaning became very clear: he wanted her to absorb this inheritance and told her that the power within would make up for the gap between her and that one-eyed mercenary from before.

After she finished absorbing the inheritance, Lin Cheng would also help her forge a suitable weapon. With a suitable and powerful enchanted weapon, the mission to investigate the underground slave trading venue would surely fall into place.

After uncovering some leads, they would then take their time and plan accordingly.

It sounded like Lin Cheng had some kind of plan, but General Ji Xia didn't seem to know what exactly Lin Cheng was planning.

Could this light orb really make up for the gap with a peak sixth-tier martial artist?

Half-believing, half-doubting, General Ji Xia began absorbing the inheritance power within the light orb.

In an instant, General Ji Xia's body was enveloped in white light, and within her consciousness, it was as if a heroic woman were shouting.

The night passed without a word.

When he got up the next morning, Lin Cheng washed up and deliberately took a look at his spirit pet in the spatial pouch—it seemed to still be sleeping.

The pink fox was locked inside a special spatial pouch. This was also a special method of binding magical beasts. The owner of the spatial pouch could do anything to the magical beast locked inside—communication, feeding, you name it. The magical beast inside couldn't resist, leaving it to the pouch's owner to decide whether to forcibly contract the magical beast within...

... or slowly tame it?

Previously, Lin Cheng had accessed the pink fox's memories and learned of its injuries, so he had deliberately fed it a large amount of spring water, hoping to heal its wounds.

Come out, Little Red!

The pink fox in the spatial pouch was released all at once, lying peacefully on the table. Seeing no reaction from it, Lin Cheng even poked the pink fox with his finger—still no reaction.

But its aura and vital signs were very stable. Spirit pets generally possessed very high intelligence, no different from humans. Could this fellow be playing dead?

At this thought, a mournful expression immediately came over Lin Cheng's face as he began to act.

What a pity, I fed it so many life potions. Looks like this fellow is done for.

This is my fate too. Just right, I haven't eaten fox meat yet. I'll reluctantly make some this morning, and follow it up with a stew!

Saying so, Lin Cheng was about to grab the pink fox by the scruff of its neck.
