Chapter 206 The Grid Crisis Returns
Cheng Tian has once again fallen into the delicious trap that the chosen players are forced to take—

The grid crisis.

Although he has 3 garages, 2 pockets, and 6 inventory slots, which is almost twice the number of inventory slots of an average player, the number of items he always brings before entering a dungeon is also far greater than that of other players.

Since he didn't know he had entered the Knights of the Round Table instance, he allocated the three slots in the garage to the Mammoth, the Batmobile, and the Drill Vehicle. He also brought along the single-soldier submarine, which was very active in the previous bounty instance. He didn't bring the Iron Bull Tank, but he did add the reins of the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Primal Pteranodon.

The reason why tanks can be summoned and used in the special space is that the space is directly connected to the space island, and theoretically all of Cheng Tian's collections can be used.

Even so, the mounts and vehicles alone took up 6 of his slots, followed by the Crystal Eye and the replaced C-type homing missile launcher.

Oh, since the Eye of the Storm has no power consumption while in standby mode, it was released directly, which freed up a slot. The sight of a big, colorful eyeball swaying back and forth on his shoulder is quite eye-catching.

Then Balford's twin swords directly replaced the white cleaver, without taking up any space.

At the same time, the Red Vibration Orb, the Blue Vibration Orb, and the Silver Knight Statue must all be carried with you.

Fortunately, the gems are consumables and can be stacked, but even so, Cheng Tian only has one pocket left to hold things, and that's without even counting the bags of gold and silver coins.

Cheng Tian now has three extra red vibration orbs, which he definitely wants to use to convert into valuable items. However, he doesn't have any storage space right now and doesn't want to give them away to others. So, he approached Arthur.

More accurately, they were trying to seek help from the great magician Merlin behind it all.

According to Cheng Tian's understanding, the red, green, and blue orbs that can shake and clear the map, as well as the chess pieces that can be sealed and activated at any time to summon magical mounts, were all actually created by the great mage Merlin.

Cheng Tian couldn't understand the principle behind the former, but the latter clearly had a high probability of involving things like living organism preservation, material shrinkage, and space compression.

Since mounts can be stored inside small chess pieces, theoretically, it should also be possible to create corresponding storage items.

Although Merlin only appears at the very beginning and in the ending after completing the game, he is actually watching over everything related to Arthur throughout the entire game.
"You mean this kind of magical pocket that can hold more things?"

Upon hearing Cheng Tian's question, Arthur, who was setting up more sentry posts after learning from yesterday's lesson, generously handed Cheng Tian the seemingly inconspicuous cloth bag tied around his waist.

It looks dusty and gray, but it feels very smooth to the touch. There's also a drawstring at the top of the bag, so you can tighten it by pulling it.

When Cheng Tian held it in his hand, he didn't feel anything, but after opening it, he saw that it contained a lot of miscellaneous things, and all of them were in a slightly shrunken state. There were chess pieces, lances, shields, bricks... Oh no, it was a piece of black bread that had been broken off a bit.

In short, the bag was clearly filled with more than it could hold.

"Yes, that's it. What price would I have to pay if I wanted something like that?"

"...Just wait a moment."

As he spoke, Arthur ordered his servants to bring over his trunk, rummaged through it, and finally pulled out a bag with a slightly different color of cloth. He then tossed it to Cheng Tian and said...

"Give it to you."

As Arthur finished speaking, a bright light emanated from the cloth bag Cheng Tian caught, signifying that it had transformed from an item within the dungeon into an equipment item. [Magic Bag: Blue Excellent/Lv-, Special Item, Magic Item, Storage Item. Usage Requirements: 1 inventory slot.]

This magical storage item, personally enchanted by the great magician Merlin, can provide additional storage space.

When equipped, it provides an additional 6 magic pocket slots. These slots can only be used for storage and must be manually opened and used. They cannot be used for quick item access like the player's default inventory. Items with effects such as "activates upon carrying" or "requires inventory space" cannot be used or placed in the magic pocket slots.

[Additional comment: It's Merlin's bag.]

This magic pocket is somewhat similar to a combination of the 6-slot bag in World of Warcraft and the Horadric Cube in Diablo II. Equipping it requires one regular inventory slot, and the 6 magic pocket slots it provides do not have a built-in shortcut function for players.

In other words, if Cheng Tian wanted to use the red vibration orb in his magic pocket, he would have to manually open the pocket, accurately take out the item, and then throw it out. He couldn't simply summon the item with a thought, as if it were in his inventory.

Meanwhile, life-saving items like the Silver Knight Statue, which are passively triggered upon death, will not work if they are placed in the magic pocket.

This also shows the value of the pockets sewn by Ichimonji Hyakutaro. Although there are only two pockets, it is equivalent to expanding the inventory by 2, and it has all the functions that an inventory should have.

...But what more could you ask for? The appearance of the magic pocket was a lifesaver for Cheng Tian!
With this, you can stuff in everything: a single-soldier submarine, a C-gun, and even those silver coin bags!
"You just gave it to me like that?"

Cheng Tian, ​​whose grid crisis had been initially resolved, was somewhat puzzled by this.

"Isn't the feat of beheading the evil enemy legion commander worthy of such a magical item?"

In response, Arthur simply asked a question in return.

...Damn it, it seems that Arthur's rise to kingship wasn't solely due to Merlin's machinations. I'm actually quite happy to hear that!

"value!"

Cheng Tian didn't mince words and accepted the magic pouch without hesitation. He then decided that he would definitely not refuse the second challenge request from the remnant soul of Balford.

As Arthur said, Cheng Tian seemed to have gotten a magic pouch just by asking, but the prerequisite was to "kill the Twin Swords Knight Balford" and deal more than 50% of his total health damage during the battle, meaning he had to make the main contribution during the battle.

After that, they will be able to provide some rewards or conveniences within the scope of Arthur's control.

Forget about the Sword in the Stone, but Arthur could afford a spare magic pouch, and that wasn't even the highest tier of rewards he could afford.

However, just as Cheng, who was truly returning with a full load of goods, stepped out of the tent with a beaming smile, he was met with Luo Meiling's ambush.

The extraordinary twin tiger girl spoke directly to Cheng Tian.

"Some players are discussing a night raid on the Silver Fortress. Should we stop them?"
