Chapter 1266

The final area is where the exclusive weapons bearing hero legacies are displayed—the exclusive hero weapons forged by Lin Cheng will wait here for their masters to arrive.

Along the way, sofas and tables will also be placed in certain spots to serve as temporary rest areas, and two attendants will still be needed to serve tea or milk tea to the guests resting here.

The general areas have already been planned out; the question now is whether there are enough hands.

For instance, the personal weapon customization counter might need a painter with excellent drawing skills; or the inscription engraving counter needs someone who has a certain understanding of inscriptions and can also perform inscription enhancements for customers—these are all skilled jobs.

Having Lin Cheng do it personally would really damage his reputation as an eighth-tier forger.

At the same time, the shop might also need security personnel—just let General Ji Xia fill that role. Miss Qianhui can have her sell first and second-tier equipment from the system; she's just suited for collecting money.

Little Red should be able to shapeshift, right? Her sister Yun Shang can, so let her manage the magical beast material recycling counter.

He just didn't know whether Yun Shang could draw; if she could, it would save hiring an employee. Thinking this, Lin Cheng decisively summoned Little Red.

"Hey, wake up."

Pinching the scruff of Little Red's fate-like neck, Little Red only slowly woke up, rubbing her eyes. "What is it, Master?"

After not seeing her for a few days, Little Red's size had noticeably grown—she seemed to have put on a whole round of weight.

"My shop opens tomorrow, I need you to shapeshift and work as a staff member. By the way, ask your sister Yun Shang if she can draw; if she can, have her come work for me too."

"Shapeshift? Into what? I've never shapeshifted before—do I turn into your appearance, Master?" Little Red was completely baffled by this.

Mm!

He quickly sketched out Daji's appearance in his mind, then pressed a finger onto Little Red's forehead to transmit the information.

"Just transform according to this look… By the way, don't spirit pets have contracts?" Lin Cheng was puzzled—neither of them could achieve mind transmission, so what kind of spirit pet and master were they?

After receiving the information transmitted by Lin Cheng, Little Red licked her fur and casually shot Lin Cheng a look.

"Sigh. It's because you've been too busy, Master, and never had time to contract with me. Let's just contract right now—a spirit pet contract can share some of each other's abilities. After contracting, I'll be the first forging blue fox in history, hehe."

It seemed Little Red was even happier than Lin Cheng.

"Holy crap, that's awesome?"

Lin Cheng tried to imagine the scene of Little Red forging a longsword with a hammer—badass. Part shocked, part pleasantly surprised.

Coincidentally, he was still short of an employee in charge of inscription engraving—wasn't this one delivered right to his door? With that, the original plan needed a slight tweak: let Little Red be in charge of inscription engraving, and General Ji Xia be in charge of magical beast material recycling and exchange.

"Master, Master, your thing is so big, I… I can barely take it all in."

At this moment, Little Red—still being pinched by the scruff of her fate-like neck by Lin Cheng—had a belly twice as fat as her head, looking just like a chubby Mengqi; however… Lin Cheng didn't feel any noticeable increase in Little Red's mass.

As for what Little Red transmitted over through the contract, Lin Cheng blinked and digested it.

Just two skills—one was Insight! Said to be able to see through the other party's true thoughts.

Honestly, this skill is quite mystical. Being able to see through others' true thoughts—what kind of experience would that be? Would their true thoughts appear in your mind, or would you directly read their true thoughts………

The other skill was Charm, which could increase Lin Cheng's charm, indirectly reflected in appearance, speech ability, and action ability, invisibly boosting his charm.

Foxes are inherently charming by nature.

This skill wasn't really beyond Lin Cheng's expectations.

"Can you digest it overnight? I don't care, anyway you have to start work tomorrow…"

Lin Cheng didn't care whether Little Red could finish digesting it overnight; what he wanted was the result.

"I don't know, probably can." Little Red wasn't sure either, but figured it should be possible.

"Then I'll head back."

Since she had to start work tomorrow, she'd better hurry up and make the most of her time.

"Mm, ask your sister Yun Shang if she can draw; if she can't, then no need for her to come see me."

After a while, Valkyrie Ailin suddenly walked out from the canyon space; with his back turned, Lin Cheng thought it was Yun Shang.

"Yun Shang… you actually know how to draw?"

"Nope, guess who I am?"

Saying so, Valkyrie Ailin playfully covered Lin Cheng's eyes from behind, and pretended to speak in a strange, mocking tone.

"I can't guess."

Lin Cheng, too, got into a playful mood and started joking right back.

"Dummy, it's me."

Releasing her hands, Lin Cheng turned around and saw a beaming Valkyrie Ailin.

"Hahaha, haven't seen you in a few days, did you miss me?" He smiled and patted Valkyrie Ailin's head; Valkyrie Ailin also affectionately nuzzled Lin Cheng's hand with her cheek, like a daughter who loved being doted on by her father.

"Mm-mm, missed you."

"If you missed me, you can just come out directly… but you have to disguise yourself well; I'm in a human city right now."

Lin Cheng was afraid Valkyrie Ailin would be recognized by others, although the Emperor Tianwu Empire prohibited slave trade.
