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

"It's not entirely because of working overtime, I just don't want to go back!"

"Don't you want to go back?" Jingyuan thought of what happened last time. "Is it because of your friend?"

4277 nodded.

"Anyone would be angry in this situation," Jingyuan sighed. "But if you really can't let go of your friend, why don't you try to make peace with him?"

"Who wants to make peace with him!"

Jingyuan smiled. He had been worried that 4068 would affect 4277, but he didn't expect that he would affect her first.

Therefore, there is no need to sow discord between them.

"Whatever you want! But remember one thing: never let others make you unhappy."

4277 took that to heart, turned around and smiled: "You're right!"

Jing Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Could you make something for me?"

"what?"

"A device that can call for help and locate a location should ideally be small and portable."

"Don't the Hunters have such a device?"

Jingyuan said, "The Hunter's device is integrated into the individual soldier system. I need a separate, portable, and simple device. The range doesn't need to be too large, just the range of the lighthouse will do."

4277 thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. When do you need it?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Alright!" 4277 looked at the work at hand and said, "The throwing knives and shields you requested are all finished. I thought I could finally rest, but you've given me more work."

Jingyuan smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll add some more contribution points!"

"Talking about donations is too hurtful," 4277 said with a smile. "How much do you want?"

"Make two first." Jing Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Can you make one today?"

4277 thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and gather some materials, and I can make it today."

“Alright…” Jing Yuan looked around the workshop, found a secluded corner, and said, “After you make the first one, carry the transmitter with you and hide the receiver here.”

4277 pointed at himself, "Me? Why would I wear a locator on my person?"

Jingyuan didn't beat around the bush, but said directly, "If you get into danger, use the locator to call for help immediately, and I'll be able to find you as quickly as possible."

4277 was deeply moved after hearing this, and exclaimed, "Why are you being so good to me!"

Jingyuan felt ashamed; it was all because he was worried that Charles would harm him.

"Just in case!" Jing Yuan pointed to the corner of the workshop and said, "Got it?"

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Jingyuan immediately changed the subject, "By the way, how are the throwing knives and shields?"

"Just one last step." 4277 asked doubtfully, "Do you need it for your mission today?"

Jingyuan nodded and said, "We need it."

"Okay, just give me another hour."

For the next hour, Jingyuan waited by his side.

After finishing the final touches, 4277 placed the ten throwing knives one by one into the shield's scabbard.

Ten throwing knives plus a shield—that's a weight that even 4277 couldn't lift.

Seeing this, Jingyuan stood up to get the shield and easily picked it up.

"It's a bit heavy, but it's okay!"

4277 cast an admiring glance at him. She knew how heavy this thing was, and the fact that Jingyuan could lift it so easily was enough to show how strong he was.

Jingyuan checked the time and said, "It's almost time to meet up, I'll head over first. Remember about the locator!"

"Okay! I'll remember it!"

4277 left first to collect materials for making the locator.

Jingyuan also left, heading to the armory.

With the shield as camouflage, no one could tell that there were throwing knives hidden inside. In fact, the shield could actually be used as a shield, it was just a bit heavy.

Inside the armory, the Hunters team members are preparing for their ground mission.

Mark saw Jingyuan and beckoned him over.

At the same time, Xuefeng, Kunjie, Gaoge and others also went over.

"Kun Jie, Gao Ge, this is Jing Yuan, I believe you two know him. This is Jing Yuan's first time leading a ground mission, I hope you two can help him a lot!"

"Do not worry!"

Mark then looked at Jingyuan, "Kunjie and Gaoge are both veteran team members with a wealth of experience. Listen to them when there are problems, but as the captain, you also need to make your own decisions!"

"Okay, I understand."

Mark's words clearly indicated that he was grooming Jingyuan as his successor.

"Seniors, please give me your guidance!" Jing Yuan said politely to the two of them.

"We're all working for the lighthouse, so don't be shy."

Jingyuan nodded, then pulled Mark aside and whispered, "Charles wants me to lead a team down to the surface."

"Go to the ground? What's the reason?" Mark was puzzled. What would Charles's men do if they went to the ground?

"He didn't say."

"Did you promise him?"

Jingyuan nodded.

Mark knew that Jingyuan didn't want to offend Charles, just as he had always been accommodating to Charles.

"You're the captain of this team, so you make the decisions. But remember, no matter what, you must bring back the supplies and your teammates!"

"I will definitely bring them all back!"

Mark nodded and was about to leave. Jingyuan pulled him back and said, "I suspect Charles will try to trip you up this time, so be careful."

"I know. Be careful too."

After parting ways with Mark, Jingyuan went to his team to organize their equipment.

Jingyuan noticed Penny organizing weapons nearby and asked in confusion, "Penny, are you in our group too?"

Penny nodded and said, "Captain Mark said I'm closer to you, so he assigned me to your team. Erica is here too!"

Jing Yuan understood; Mark was indeed very perceptive.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

"You're welcome! Vice Captain Jingyuan!"

After everything was ready, Jingyuan's team began preparing to descend to the ground.

At that moment, Charles arrived with a group of men.

Besides Vatican City and Vatican City, there is also Saliph.

There were also three men, one of whom was tall, about the same height as Sharif. The other two were of average build and appeared to be around forty years old.

“Vice Captain Jingyuan!” Charles said to Jingyuan, “This mission is of great importance, and the Lord of Light and Shadow attaches great importance to it. He has specially dispatched the Inspector of the Light and Shadow Society to go down to the ground with you.”

Jingyuan looked at the two middle-aged men behind Charles and asked, "Are they the two of them?"

“It’s the three of them. Vann, Locke, and Lorife.”

Fan En is a rugged-looking middle-aged man.

Locke was thin, and his narrow eyes made him look like a bad person.

As for Loriev, he was a man as tall as the big dog Sharif.

He and Sharif stood on either side of Charles, like two walls.

Kun Jie and Gao Ge, having been asked by Mark to come and help Jing Yuan, naturally came to check on the situation when they saw what had happened.

Upon meeting, Gao Ge said in surprise, "Vann, Locke, it's you two!"

"You two know each other?" Jing Yuan looked at Gao Ge with curiosity.

“They used to be hunters, but now they’re members of the Light and Shadow Society.” Gao Ge looked at Van En and asked, “Van En, are you going down to the surface too?”

"Gao Ge, Kun Jie, are you two capable of taking on important responsibilities now?"

The speaker was Locke, and his laughter was very unsettling.

“Chief!” Jing Yuan stepped forward. “We agreed beforehand that I could take them down, but it couldn’t interfere with my mission. Otherwise…”

“Little brat, you were still breastfeeding when we were hunters! How dare you talk to us like that!” Locke said with utter disdain.
