Chapter 598

But Lin Cheng was not at all worried that this guy would run off with the mechanical mount, because until he lifted the rune restriction, the mercenary could neither put the mechanical mount into his spatial ring nor command the mechanical mount to run outside the city. There was also an automatic countdown function inside; once the time was up, the mechanical mount would automatically return along the original path.

There were quite a few passersby around, and it was their first time seeing such a metal mount. They couldn't help but approach the young mercenary riding the mechanical mount, which made the mercenary both annoyed and happy.

On one hand, he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by everyone, but on the other hand, the time for the mechanical mount was ticking away second by second, and he could only be blocked by the crowd and unable to move, so how could he not be annoyed?

On this side... Lin Cheng also seemed to have suddenly thought of something and directly took out paper to write a recruitment notice on the spot: recruiting five sales clerks, one artist, and five servers—young ladies preferred. After writing it, he posted it directly on the door.

The recruitment notice was surrounded by people, and some young ladies who felt they were attractive enough went into the shop to inquire about the recruitment notice.

Lin Cheng didn't expect that just as he arrived at the counter waiting for rune inscriptions, he would be entangled by several attractive young ladies behind him. They had all entered the shop after seeing the recruitment notice at the door, thinking that working here would definitely have better benefits and treatment than in ordinary places.

This was indeed the case; Lin Cheng would never treat the employees working for him poorly.

"You few wait for me in the lounge area over there, I'll be over in a moment."

Lin Cheng pointed to the lounge area with sofas, tables, and chairs. Now, he still had to arrange some related matters.

"Okay."

The few young ladies also knew that Master Lin Cheng was busy since he had just opened today, so they obediently went to the lounge area to wait for Lin Cheng's interview.

Arriving at the rune inscription counter, Lin Cheng saw the lazy Xiao Hong and a group of people queuing.

The mercenaries waiting for rune inscriptions—from the helpless expressions on their faces, one could tell what their mood was like.

Lin Cheng hurried over, pinched the back of Xiao Hong's neck, lifted her up, and roared at her.

"I let you stay here... to let you work, not to let you sleep. Hurry up and transform to work."

"Yes! Master!"

Roaring loudly in Xiao Hong's ear, Xiao Hong was instantly startled awake.

Without a word, she transformed directly in front of everyone into the Daji-like beast-eared girl image that Lin Cheng had previously transmitted to her!

Two fox ears twitching, a cherry mouth, cute big eyes, a gaze that was pure and sincere yet carried a bit of fragility and timidity—a pitiful appearance that made people want to hold her in their arms and pamper her. Added to that was the inherent charm of the fox clan, with every gesture carrying an attraction that made men unable to look away.

Previously she was just a cute little fox, but now she had directly transformed into a great beauty, making the mercenaries in front of the counter almost pop their eyes out, swallowing their saliva. They could easily guess that the little fox in front of them might be the legendary spirit pet, but what did that matter?

Beauty is justice!

Especially when she could transform into such a great beauty who fit the human aesthetic!

They didn't want Master Lin Cheng to inscribe for them personally at all. Even if that were safer, they only wanted the spirit pet girl in front of them to inscribe runes for them. Knowing that rune inscription required taking off clothes, they quickly took off their own clothes one by one. Even though there were still a dozen people in front, the mercenaries queuing behind were already impatient to show off their male pectoral muscles and spirit in front of the spirit pet girl.

Xiao Hong rolled her eyes at these superficial humans and had little interest in these human males. She only had her master in her heart. Moreover, after seeing a male as talented, powerful, and full of potential as Lin Cheng, she even wanted to change back to her original form for these ordinary human males and use her tail to help them inscribe runes; the effect would be the same.

She had long since obtained all the memories and experience regarding Lin Cheng's rune inscription and blacksmithing. It is no exaggeration to say that her attainments in blacksmithing were now just like Lin Cheng's own.

The essence of rune inscription is using spirit power to perform the inscription, so whether using hands or a tail, it was actually the same for Xiao Hong.

However, this group of mercenaries just hoped that the spirit pet girl could run her delicate hands over their skin. That indescribable feeling, even just thinking about it, could make their bodies tremble, and then they would quickly feel like a deflated balloon, yet mentally they could be satisfied to the extreme.

But reality was destined to disappoint them.

Xiao Hong, who possessed rune inscription technology no less than Lin Cheng's, directly inscribed the rune symbols in the void and then struck them into the mercenaries' bodies. Her fingers were at least a meter away from the mercenaries.

The first mercenary originally wanted to complain, as he felt the service attitude was poor, but the moment he saw Xiao Hong's pitiful and stunning appearance, even if she just blinked, the mercenary was instantly so enchanted he couldn't find north. Saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and in his heart, he found ten thousand suitable reasons for this behavior.
