On the way to the county government office, Chu Danqing casually opened the Plague Demon's excellent-grade treasure chest.

"This is a normal excellent-grade treasure chest. That Seven Star King thing is really no good." Chu Danqing casually stuffed it into his storage space.

Although it was of little use to him and its quality was only average for the excellent class.

The quality of equipment can be judged from the number of attribute modifiers and the equipment requirements.

In most cases, the more attributes a piece of equipment has and the higher the demand, the better its quality.

Of course, if you really want to make a combination, you still have to look at the attribute of the entry.

Just like the Seven-Colored Radiance Staff in Chu Danqing's hand, other attributes can be discarded, but the Rainbow Radiance, which can increase the effect of summoned creatures' basic skills by 100%, must be kept.

This attribute can be considered his final attribute.

Extracting entries is not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Chu Danqing also planned to upgrade the quality of the Seven-Colored Radiant Staff in his hand to the Brilliant level after returning.

Firstly, it can increase strength, and secondly, it can be used as one of the raw materials for the embryo of True Spirit type growth equipment, after which the attribute can be locked.

After finishing the matter, Chu Danqing went to the county government office.

The county magistrate had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master Chu, Zen Master Wende has already spoken to me about this. Don't worry, Young Master Chu, I will definitely do my best to help with disaster relief." As soon as the county magistrate saw Chu Danqing, he patted his chest and took on the task.

In fact, when Zen Master Wende came to see him, he didn't care at all, especially when he heard that no one would die.

Disaster relief is definitely necessary, but it can't be resolved in three days; it will take at least three months.

In this way, he can not only make a fortune, but also gain merit.

Then Zen Master Wende subtly mentioned that Chu Danqing came from the prefectural government, especially since the prefect had recently been cracking down on corrupt officials.

One of them is nothing special, but two of them together are no coincidence.

It's obvious they're targeting the county magistrate, especially since this incident happened at such a critical juncture; it's a perfect opportunity to deal with him.

If we dismiss and investigate him, it will create a new vacancy.

While a county magistrate may not seem important in the imperial court, once he leaves the court, he becomes a powerful figure known as the Marquis of a Hundred Miles.

He has no chance of advancing any further, but as long as he can endure until his term is over, he can retire unscathed.

So it's crucial that nothing goes wrong at this time.

"Two days, I'll give you two days," Chu Danqing said. "To resolve this plague."

"Otherwise, I'll have to leave on the third day."

These words made the magistrate's face change. Wasn't it supposed to be three days? How did it become two days?

And what do you mean by "you're leaving"?
“This plague is no ordinary plague. If it cannot be cured within two days, everyone will die without a burial place.”

"By the way, I think there is also a latent epidemic in the magistrate's body, and its roots are connected to Xuyang Town."

"If this epidemic cannot be dealt with within two days, then the family must have already prepared a coffin."

At this point, the magistrate was horrified. Although he suspected that Chu Danqing was lying to him, what good would it do him?
Chu Danqing has no official position and cannot achieve political success, nor is he a merchant and cannot profit from it.

Therefore, the authenticity of this matter is quite high.

"Thank you for your advice, Young Master Chu." The county magistrate, for the sake of his own life, decided to do his best to provide disaster relief.

As for someone coming over to stir things up?
That person is just plain brainless. Chu Danqing already said that everyone's lives are hanging by a thread.

Trying to sow discord is simply gambling with everyone's lives.

Who would willingly seek death with you for no reason?

Chu Danqing killing the plague demon is a genuine fact, and no one can question it.

Between the two, the one who believed in Chu Danqing's ability to vanquish demons was undoubtedly more trusting, especially since Chu Danqing had a connection with Zen Master Wende. "The magistrate is a man of great wisdom. To be able to quell the epidemic in two days is an achievement that the Prefect will surely recognize," Chu Danqing replied.

He can't just take the big stick of threats; he has to offer some sweet treats too.

If Chu Danqing sees the Prefect next time, he can mention it.

If we don't get to meet, then we'll just consider it empty promises.

After all, even without his direct instruction, the county magistrate would have reported it to his superiors.

"Haha, Your Excellency is so discerning, how could such a trivial matter of mine possibly catch your eye?" The magistrate was secretly pleased, but spoke in a grand and dignified manner.

The polite words have to be nice.

"It is a matter of great importance to the people's livelihood. The county magistrate has done a great service. This is no small matter." Chu Danqing was also carried in a decorated sedan chair by many people.

Since it involves my hidden mission anyway, praising the other party a couple of times isn't a big deal. As long as the other party is willing to do practical things, these are all minor issues.

After some mutual support, Chu Danqing timed her departure perfectly and left.

For no other reason than that the county magistrate also had to begin disaster relief efforts.

With stakeholders involved, efficiency naturally increases dramatically.

The county magistrate had been operating in Xuyang Town for many years. While he might not have been all-powerful, if he were to take a hard line, no one would dare to resist.

Normally, the back-and-forth exchanges of benefits do not involve the magistrate's core interests. Now, daring to oppose him is not only blocking his future, but also trying to kill him.

The speed at which the knife fell was extremely fast.

Perhaps because of disaster relief efforts, they can't destroy your family in a short time, but they can certainly put you in jail so you don't get in their way.

With the county magistrate's intervention and the cooperation of Jiangtian Temple, Chu Danqing thought that two days was already a very tight deadline, and that he might have to finish the task on time.

But to everyone's surprise, the task was actually completed in just two days.

[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 20000, Attribute Points +5]

Seeing the amusement park points arrive in her account, Chu Danqing breathed a sigh of relief.

It has to be said that this was the most difficult task he had ever encountered.

The main reason was the short time frame, coupled with his being a newcomer and not having enough time to build a local presence.

If this were to take ten days or half a month, the difficulty level would be at most C.

He also helped with the treatment over the past two days. Although it couldn't compare to the help he received from powerful figures, he still did his part.

After the matter was settled, Chu Danqing had nothing left to do, so he stayed in the inn to cultivate.

Exploring the Trial World? Chu Danqing had no such idea.

It wasn't that he didn't want amusement park points, but rather that there was simply nothing to explore in Xuyang Town.

Only Xu Jingnian's family could explore it, but Chu Danqing didn't really want to get together with them right now.

Prone to high blood pressure.

However, Bai Zhenniang did keep her promise. After Baorentang made a fortune this time, she used the extra profits to pay off the stolen silver.

As for whether doing so would cause problems with Baorentang's accounts, that's another matter.

Ultimately, the stolen silver was used for the expenses of Xu Jingnian and his family, which can definitely be considered a joint debt.

"Young Master Chu, the stolen silver has been returned." Bai Zhenniang spoke to him from outside the window, and even opened the window.

"You don't need to tell me about this," Chu Danqing said speechlessly. It was indeed a bit creepy that a large white snake's head was staring at him from outside the window in the middle of the night.

Bai Zhenniang is a thousand-year-old snake demon, so she can't be small.

Once it reverts to its original form, it certainly won't be able to get through the doors or windows.

She deliberately scared Chu Danqing once.

“Young Master Chu asked me to do as he instructed, and I will naturally inform him when I have completed the task,” Bai Zhenniang said.

She's almost numb from running around these past two nights.

I definitely can't go during the day; I can only handle it at night.

Fortunately, it's finally done.

When she and Biqing stole silver, they didn't just target one family.

Instead, they share a little from one company and a little from another.

They took less but stole more, so now it's troublesome to pay it back.

"Okay, I got it." Chu Danqing waved his hand: "Don't block the window for no reason. Da Bao almost scratched your face with his claw just now."

It's definitely not that Chu Danqing is afraid; the demons he saw in the Chongde era were even more grotesque in appearance.

Bai Zhenniang is just an enlarged version of a white snake. Does she really think he's one of those scholars in this trial world?

Having been here for so long, he has come to realize that the people in this trial world are generally like Lord Ye who professed to love dragons but was terrified of them.

It's true that I'm curious about demons and monsters, but if I were to actually encounter one, I'd probably run faster than a rabbit, and I might be so scared that I'd be paralyzed, unable to escape even if I wanted to.

"Don't reveal your true form unless absolutely necessary. Knowing Xu Jingnian as I do, he might be scared to death." Chu Danqing couldn't help but think of the other rough-and-tumble hero, also surnamed Xu, who passed away on the Dragon Boat Festival.

“There’s no need for Young Master Chu to worry about that.” Bai Zhenniang didn’t care. She didn’t think Xu Jingnian was that cowardly: “My husband has that much courage.”

Chu Danqing was speechless upon hearing this. Well, this is what they call "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

"As long as you have confidence, that's enough." Chu Danqing didn't say anything more.
