"Lord Lin Feng, is this also a magical item?" Lotrin asked, pointing to the staff as if to deliberately change the subject.
However, she was indeed curious about this little thing. She had seen Lin Feng's attack methods before at Staka's. This object, like a small wooden stick, seemed to have appeared recently. And it could open teleportation portals. It would be great if it could be mass-produced.
Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. He took out the staff and handed it to Lotrin. "Are you interested in this?"
"I've observed Lord Lin Feng's attack patterns, and they seem very different from before." Lotrin's veiled words made Lin Feng raise an eyebrow involuntarily. "What do you want to say?"
"I wanted to ask if the abilities you are currently using are possessed by this magical item." "Please don't misunderstand, Lord. I was just wondering if this item could be mass-produced." Lin Feng understood. She had quite a business acumen, but this thing probably couldn't be mass-produced. "This item is merely a guiding artifact. Its presence or absence has little effect on me." "The abilities I use are my own and have little to do with the staff." "Enough of this. Tell me your decision now, Lotrin." Lotrin bringing up the staff was also a way to buy herself more time to consider the pros and cons. However, Lin Feng didn't know what she had to hesitate about. He had shown her everything she needed to see, and the terms were incredibly generous. If she hesitated any longer, Lin Feng's patience would run out. Lotrin unconsciously squeezed her fingers. Lin Feng noticed she had done this before. Whenever she was conflicted or thinking, she would unconsciously squeeze her fingers. "Lord, could we switch to a cooperative model?" "I will provide you with the information you need and all the information we can collect, and you will provide us with protection." "Also, the residential rights of the Star Race..." Lotrin was still unwilling to be bound. But Lin Feng shook his head decisively. "That would be meaningless, Lotrin." "I need a team that serves me completely and is loyal to me, not a partner." "If I wanted a partner, I could find many more suitable individuals than you!" Lotrin's eyes dimmed. Yes, that was true. "I know what you're worried about," Lin Feng continued. "I can guarantee you complete autonomy within the Star Race." "And I won't ask you to carry out any suicidal missions." "This," Lin Feng said, holding up a triangular distress beacon, "is a distress beacon that allows you to communicate with me at any time." "If you encounter danger, I can teleport over immediately. From now on, no matter where you are, you will no longer have to worry about your safety." "These are all promises I've made. In fact, you're getting the better deal." Lin Feng's words were full of confidence. "At any time and any place, I will be the first to rush to the scene of danger and protect the safety of all lives belonging to the Star Race." Lin Feng then added, "And your other wish." "I don't know what you intend to achieve with the Reality Stone." "But believe me, I can even bring the dead back to life." Bring the dead back to life? Lotrin's eyes became exceptionally bright at those words. So bright that Lin Feng felt a jolt, a premonition of something not quite right. "Can you really, truly bring back the dead?" "Yes..." Lin Feng nodded in response. "Now, tell me your answer, Lotrin." "As I said, this is your only chance." Lin Feng crossed his arms and leaned back. The terms he offered were incredibly generous, and the promise of rescue in danger, along with a sense of security, was something no one else could provide. If Lotrin had any sense, she shouldn't refuse. Lin Feng fell silent. Lotrin knew it was time for her to make a choice. It was already remarkable that someone like Lin Feng could patiently explain so much to her and make such promises. Being Lin Feng's subordinate meant they would still have to undertake some bounty hunter work, but their wishes could be fulfilled. Refusing Lin Feng, given his personality, probably wouldn't put her in a difficult situation. But her wish would become a distant dream... Lotrin took a deep breath. She knew how to choose. If she missed this opportunity, she might never get a second chance in her life. She stood up, knelt on one knee before Lin Feng, and lowered her head. "With your will as our direction, my master," Lotrin pledged in a solemn voice. ??? Lin Feng's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He suddenly felt incredibly awkward. What era, what race's pledging ceremony was this... But judging by her words, she had agreed to his terms. Lin Feng smiled. "Don't call me master, it sounds strange. Call me leader." "Leader!" Lotrin nodded, quickly immersing herself in the role. "Leader, can you really bring the dead back to life?" This was the second time she had asked. Lin Feng was almost certain that her second wish was likely to resurrect someone. This also aligned with her requirement for the Reality Stone. She probably wanted to make someone who was dead alive, to make it a reality. However, relying solely on the Reality Stone wouldn't be enough. "Of course, but bringing people back to life isn't that simple. I need to see your contributions!" Lin Feng wasn't a fool, and as he said, resurrection was indeed not a simple matter. Having fully understood the workings of the universe, Lin Feng wouldn't bring people back to life on a whim. Lotrin nodded in understanding. Exactly, her team also adopted a contribution system. For her to make a request now, before she had proven her worth, was indeed a bit rash. She had endured for so many years; she could afford to wait a little longer. Realizing what she needed to do, Lotrin immediately began to demonstrate her usefulness. "Leader, our team, including me, has a total of 27 people." "Lotrin understands the importance of intelligence, so we have a squad of 5 companions dedicated solely to collecting information." "Shall I call them over one by one to introduce them?" Lin Feng shook his head. "I won't meet them. From now on, you will liaise directly with Natasha!" Lin Feng chose to be a hands-off manager. "I'll call her over shortly, and you can communicate. However, before that, I have a question for you." "Please speak," Lotrin replied respectfully, her head bowed. "In your years as bounty hunters, have you encountered any information about people like this?" Lin Feng conjured an image of people uniformly dressed in black robes. "Take a look. This is also one of the main intelligence tasks I need you to undertake." "I need you to collect information about the past existence of people dressed like this." "And constantly monitor if there are any individuals with such attire appearing anywhere in the universe now..."
