Cheng Lang's face turned livid. He indeed had a way to save Qin Mu. Task executors at their level had accumulated countless mission allowances and employee benefits through clearing too many missions. They could even make a request to the system and have a lover tailored exclusively for them.
Quite a few of Cheng Lang's colleagues had done just that before. They felt that a long life was simply too lonely, so they wanted to customize a lover who perfectly matched their preferences to accompany them on future missions.
