"What else could I mean?" Fang Zhen said. "I just think we might cooperate in the future. I feel like we work well together, so I want to boost your strength a bit."
"Of course, if you feel indebted to me, you can save up some Gold Coins or Extraordinary Items to trade with me. I'll even give you a discount."
Jilenna stared at Fang Zhen for a good while, as if trying to see if he really meant it.
Fang Zhen thought Jilenna's reaction was a bit odd, but he didn't dwell on it.
He just remembered the prompt from the dungeon life game.
That prompt suggested he treat his hired combat partners well, as it could improve the game experience and might even have future benefits.
After hiring Jilenna this time and going through actual combat, Fang Zhen had his own interpretation of the prompt.
