Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

4277 doesn't want to say more.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm leaving!"

4277 left alone, leaving 4068 alone.

4277 hid in a nearby spot for a while, and after 4068 left, she returned.

She didn't see 4068 and assumed he had left, so she confidently walked towards the workshop.

As a result, 4068 was also hiding nearby, and when 4277 walked towards the workshop, he followed.

When 4277 arrived at the workshop door, it made a point of looking back to make sure no one was there before opening the workshop door with peace of mind.

Once inside the workshop, she quickly closed the door.

"Your friend left?" Jing Yuan asked with a smile as he watched 4277 enter.

"I'm sorry, he's always like this." 4277 quickly explained, "But don't worry, he definitely doesn't know anything about what's going on here."

"It's alright," Jing Yuan said with a smile. "I just checked, and we only need two more throwing knives. Once the last two are made, I'll take them with me. This workshop still has some time left in its service life, so if your friend really wants to come, bring him along."

4277 gave an awkward smile.

Jingyuan looked at the little girl in front of him and found her quite adorable. He reached into his pocket and took out a watch.

"I guessed you might like these things, so I picked one up as a gift for you."

4277's eyes lit up, and he took the watch.

"Thank you!"

Jingyuan pulled another game console out of his pocket and said, "Here's this too, but it's broken. See if you can fix it. It's pretty good for killing time."

4277 took the game console and exclaimed in surprise, "You managed to get your hands on this too?"

Jingyuan smiled. This was something that the commoner 3855 had picked up and left with him, but unfortunately it was broken and 3855 didn't want it anymore. So Jingyuan gave it to 4277 to see if she could fix it.

"They're just little trinkets, I'm glad you like them."

4277 nodded, then turned around and took out a box from behind him, saying, "By the way, congratulations on your promotion to vice captain of the Hunters. This is a little gift I prepared for you."

"Oh? Thank you!" Jingyuan took the box with some surprise.

Upon opening the box, I found a small black cone.

Chapter 49

Upon closer inspection, the black cone was made up of individual knives, a miniature version of the drill-knife set they were creating.

4277 explained, “I saw that you spent so much money to make the throwing knife, so I guessed you would really like it. I used the leftover pieces of the throwing knife to make this small model. I hope you like it.”

Jingyuan's lips curled up, unsure whether he should laugh or not.

This small throwing knife is only ten centimeters long. Although it is said to be a model, it has been sharpened.

4277 definitely didn't know how Jingyuan would use these throwing knives; she created this model simply to leave a memento for Jingyuan.

But Jingyuan looked at the model and fell into deep thought.

In his hands, this thing becomes a weapon.

Of course, it's not enough to deal with Devouring Beasts, but to use it against humans... just thinking about it is terrifying.

"What's wrong? You don't like it?" 4277 quickly explained, "Actually, I just don't want to waste those scraps."

"No, I like it very much!" Jing Yuan forced a smile. He was just thinking that he hoped he would never have to use this thing.

4277 breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say he liked it.

Jingyuan held the throwing knives in his hand. After disassembling them, they could be combined into a row. 4277 also thoughtfully made a scabbard to hold 10 throwing knives.

The throwing knife is placed in its sheath, which is only the size of a cigarette box.

"I'm going to make a scabbard for the big throwing knife too!"

Jingyuan stared at the box containing the small throwing knives, lost in thought. After a while, he said, "I think it's a waste to make the scabbard of the large throwing knives like this. Why don't you make the scabbard into the shape of a shield for me? It can be used as a shield."

4277 was taken aback. Making it into a shield was no problem, but this made her even more confused about Jingyuan's method of using throwing knives.

"By the way, use your imagination and come up with a name for this throwing knife combination!" Jing Yuan looked at 4277.

"name?"

4277 looked quite cute as she pondered seriously. After thinking for a while, she said, "Since this is a drill made of throwing knives, why not call it a Flying Drill or a Flying Cone!"

"Flying Drill? Flying Cone?" Jing Yuan thought about it seriously for a moment and then smiled, "Then let's call it Flying Cone!"

4277 was taken aback. "I was just kidding."

"No, I think the name is good." Jing Yuan picked up the small throwing knife set in his hand. "From now on, the small one will be called Small Flying Cone, and the big one will be called Big Flying Cone."

After delivering the items and taking the gift 4277 had given him, Jingyuan prepared to leave.

The little flying cone that came with 4277 is just in time; it's perfect for practicing.

Jingyuan opened the workshop door to leave, but as soon as he opened it, 4068 was standing outside.

4068 looked furious. He glanced at Jing Yuan, then at 4277 inside.

4277 always takes off her coat when she's working, leaving only a vest underneath.

Jingyuan was already used to it.

Unexpectedly, upon witnessing this scene, 4068 began to have all sorts of thoughts running through his mind.

"What exactly did you do to 4277?" 4068 asked without waiting for a reply, throwing a punch at Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan was stunned, almost frightened by the aura of this chosen one of the planes.

Jingyuan caught 4068's fist with one hand almost on instinct.

He was, after all, a commoner, lacking both food and strength. His fists were weak and feeble, utterly inadequate against Jing Yuan.

4277 never expected that 4068 was right outside the door. When this happened, she quickly ran to the door.

4068 threw a punch, but Jingyuan grabbed it firmly.

4068 is merely a commoner, and setting aside the fact that a commoner attacking a superior is an act of insubordination, Jing Yuan's strength alone is far beyond what 4068 can handle.

If Jingyuan were to get angry now, killing 4068 would be a trivial matter.

4277 quickly pleaded, "Jingyuan, 4068 didn't do it on purpose, he was just worried about me..."

4068 got even angrier after hearing this, "Jingyuan? Calling him so intimately, what's your relationship?"

4277 was furious after hearing this. She had been pleading for him, but he still said that.

Snapped!

4277 slapped 4068 across the face, trying to wake him up.

"4068, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Jing Yuan twisted his wrist, turning 4068's hand around so it was behind him, and then pushed him to the ground.

"What's my relationship with 4277?" Jing Yuan laughed. "Whatever you think it is, is it? Why don't you go to the law firm and report us for seriously violating the Three Laws?"

Jingyuan then looked at 4277 and laughed, "4277, is he the friend you were talking about? Look at the friend you always think about, he's willing to send you to the stake just to vent his anger!"

Jingyuan's provocative words made 4277 even angrier than before.

4068 suddenly woke up, looking completely bewildered.

“No! I didn’t…” 4068 quickly explained.

"Then what are you doing here? Spying on 4277?" Jing Yuan interrupted him. "4277 is a commoner, and so are you. What gives you the right to spy on her? Do you think you're superior to her?"

4068 suddenly realized he couldn't explain himself, so he quickly looked at 4277 and said, "4277, it's not like that. I'm just worried about you. You've been disappearing all day, and you even brought us so much food from the upper classes, with so many contribution points. I'm worried... I'm worried..."

Jing Yuan said wickedly, "Are you worried that she traded her body for these things?"

Upon hearing this, 4277 became even angrier.

Although she lacked some basic physiological knowledge, she was still able to understand what it meant.

"4277, your friend doesn't understand you at all. He can't see your abilities at all, and actually thinks you can only earn contribution points through... that kind of method. Is such a friend even a friend?"

"Hmph!" 4277 got angrier the more she thought about it, and not wanting to see 4068 say another word, she turned around and left.

Jingyuan closed the workshop door and left.

Only 4068 was left there.

Jingyuan shook his head as he walked.

It wasn't that he wanted to sow discord, but he just thought that 4277 was such a good girl, what good could come of her associating with 4068!

If the original plot unfolds as it did, Charles will use 4277 to threaten 4068 into killing Mark.

Jingyuan wants to save Mark.

If 4068 can't kill Mark, Charles will have to kill 4277!

Why?

4277 didn't do anything wrong.
