I can equip strange items

Chapter 82 An Outrageous Deal

In addition, although the jade bottle's attribute level is also blue, the original function of the jade pendant is not actually very powerful.

This trash can, aside from its somewhat unacceptable cost, is extremely useful.

Although the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs does not seem to have fully figured out the full effects of the trash can, the effects described so far are definitely not cheap.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan looked at Lu Jiayin: "How do we trade?"

Lu Jiayin had been observing Li Yuan. She saw a fleeting look of shock in Li Yuan's eyes and immediately knew that the value of this strange item was extremely high.

Unfortunately, this strange item did not belong to her personally.

"One thousand points," she answered directly.

"How much?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"You heard me right."

Lu Jiayin repeated, "One thousand points, no less. Since you can identify strange items, I believe you should have already figured it out. It's most likely a catastrophic-level strange item, because the terrifying effect of being able to dissolve even strange items is most likely a rule-level one."

Rule-level, that's a bizarre item corresponding to the Cataclysmic level.

"Do you think I can get that many points?" Li Yuan was speechless.

"You might not be able to produce it yourself, but your organization should be able to, right?"

Lu Jiayin, her expression unchanged, deduced, "From what I know, including the one I traded to you, you already had four strange items before. Later, you exchanged for the Lightning Staff at the Donghe City Exorcist Association, making that five strange items. But right now, my equipment isn't detecting any more strange items on you. This means that the strange items you exchanged before should have been given to the organization behind you, right?"

Even the makeup mirror was equipped by Li Yuan, so she naturally couldn't scan it.

This woman is quite good at making things up, saving Li Yuan the trouble of fabricating his own story.

But what organization is behind me?

But this matter cannot be revealed.

Li Yuan frowned: "A thousand points? I really can't come up with that right now. Is there any other way?"

"have."

Lu Jiayin looked at Li Yuan earnestly: "I asked the leaders in the bureau, and they put forward a condition..."

"What are the conditions?" Li Yuan wondered to himself, his mind on edge.

"Solve the strange streetlights in Donghe City."

Lu Jiayin said, word by word, "If you can solve the streetlight's strange behavior, or at least find its weakness, this trash can is yours."

"You guys really think highly of me!"

Li Yuan laughed in anger: "According to Vice President Fang Ling, the streetlights are strange, most likely at the Abyss Domain level. What kind of deal is this? If I had the ability to solve that level of strangeness, would I care about a piece of trash like you?"

"So the leaders in the bureau also said that as long as we find the streetlights' strange weakness, we can still close the deal."

Lu Jiayin said calmly, "The organization behind you is too mysterious. We still haven't been able to find out which organization you belong to. Since the organization behind you can collect strange items and identify strange identities, they should have a way to deal with this type of strangeness."

When she said she could see the eerie identity, she was referring to the strange supermarket outside Levin City.

Li Yuan did not answer immediately.

Of course, he wasn't really angry, because he had indeed been thinking about that eerie streetlight before.

After all, he could sense that bizarre "annihilation rule" and even "devour" it to enhance his strength.

This is simply an opportunity sent from heaven.

But now there's an unexpected bonus—this trash can.

"So? Do you want to accept this deal?" Lu Jiayin asked expectantly.

The Bureau of Abnormal Affairs currently has no solution to the strange streetlight phenomenon, so it has no choice but to seek external assistance.

Otherwise, every day of delay would result in astronomical losses.

If the millions of survivors in Donghe City were to remain in the suburbs, it would cause an unknown loss of human and material resources.

Li Yuan looked into Lu Jiayin's eyes: "We can make a deal, but I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Lu Jiayin asked quickly.

"I can take action myself, and I can even get the people behind me to take action."

Li Yuan said, word by word, "However, I need to get this trash can first, and even if the strange streetlight problem cannot be completely resolved afterward, this trash can will belong to me completely, and you have no right to take it back."

"this----"

Lu Jiayin hesitated, "I need to consult the bureau."

"Please go ahead." Li Yuan nodded understandingly.

Lu Jiayin turned and left the supply warehouse.

Li Yuan withdrew his hand and carefully examined the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with a lot of supplies, neatly stacked, but the strange trash can seemed out of place.

However, in reality, the value of this trash can far exceeds the total value of all other items in the warehouse.

Just over a minute later, Lu Jiayin returned: "The higher-ups have agreed to your conditions, but with an additional condition: you need to first provide proof that you—or the organization behind you—are indeed capable of resolving the strange streetlight phenomenon."

She paused, then added, "This is a matter of sincerity from both sides. If you have already provided this kind of proof, but still cannot resolve the issue of the strange streetlights, it can be considered an unexpected turn of events. However, you cannot deliberately let it go."

This time, Li Yuan didn't even pause before saying, "The last time the entire city was swallowed up by the eerie domain of the streetlights and then suddenly spat out, and then got stuck, it was the result of the organization behind me taking action."

"What?"

Lu Jiayin was taken aback: "How can you prove it?"

Li Yuan helplessly spread his hands: "In that situation, who could record a video in time? It wasn't a scripted shoot. So, I can't prove it."

Even so, Lu Jiayin couldn't help but gasp.

As far as she knew, the only way to cause the same situation as last time was for the streetlight to be mysteriously injured.

In other words, the organization behind Li Yuan last time might have been swallowed up by accident, and then it might have suffered mutual destruction with that strange entity.

Otherwise, the entire East River City might have been wiped out that time, and the outcome would have been even more tragic than in Levin City.

"Wait a moment, this matter is of great importance, I need to consult with the bureau again."

Lu Jiayin left again.

About a minute later, she returned to the tent: "The bureau has agreed, but you need to act as soon as possible, because every day of delay will result in a huge loss of manpower and resources, and we can't afford to wait."

Within three days.

Li Yuan held up three fingers: "It involves a mysterious entity at the Abyss Domain level. Even the organization behind me wouldn't dare to be careless. So I can only guarantee that we'll take action within three days. As for how long it will take to resolve, I can't guarantee that."

"Then let's do it within three days."

Lu Jiayin nodded, and this time she didn't ask the bureau for instructions again; she could make the decision herself.

"So, this trash can is mine now, right?" Li Yuan asked.

"Please go ahead."

Lu Jiayin nodded: "But could you tell me if there are any discrepancies between the information you identified and the information we identified?"

"Not much difference."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "The only difference might be that living things can also be thrown in and destroyed."

"A living thing?" Lu Jiayin's eyelids twitched, then she nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Suddenly she looked at the flowerpot in Li Yuan's hand: "Could this be the Extreme Yang Grass? The fact that you carry it with you so carefully means it can't be an ordinary item."

"You have an idea?" Li Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"How much?" Lu Jiayin certainly had a good idea.

Because she had never eaten Yangyuan fruit before.

The Yang Yuan Fruit can instantly and permanently enhance a person's strength. If she could eat a Yang Yuan Fruit, she might be able to directly enter the Innate Realm.

"A bizarre item that is at least at the level of the Devourer," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"—You really think highly of me!"

Lu Jiayin said helplessly, "I can't afford it—wait, that last one—wasn't it also a Devourer-level item?"

She was referring to a broken heart.

"You've already taken the item as part of the transaction." Li Yuan nodded.

Immediately, Lu Jiayin looked heartbroken.

In her opinion, the meat of the Thunder Scorpions she had previously obtained was far less valuable than a single Extreme Yang Grass.

After all, the flesh of the Thunder Scorpion can be bought with money.

However, the extremely precious Extreme Yang Grass can only be traded with points, or—according to online prices, for one billion RMB.

This is still a case of having a price but no market.

Seeing that Lu Jiayin didn't intend to buy the Extreme Yang Grass, Li Yuan felt a little disappointed.

He didn't say much, tucked the bamboo stick and flowerpot under his arm, and then walked out carrying the trash can.

It's not a good time to equip the trash cans now; let's leave here first.

"Do you need me to prepare accommodation for you?" Lu Jiayin asked.

"Okay, but I need a quiet place."

Li Yuan said, "I need to contact my superiors and don't want to be eavesdropped on by any devices."

"Don't worry, we wouldn't go that far, especially not with our allies."

Lu Jiayin smiled and said, "Come with me."

Once outside the tent, she took Li Yuan directly into a patrol car and headed towards the edge of the resettlement area.

"That place is on the outermost edge of the resettlement area; it's quiet enough, but you might still encounter attacks from mutated creatures."

She looked at Li Yuan: "If we encounter any mutated creature invasions during this period, please take action as well."

"It's no big deal," Li Yuan said without refusing.

As he spoke, he had already seen the fixed conditions for the entry on the trash can.

[Permanent Fixation Conditions: Maintain the equipment's condition and directly or indirectly clean up any city, ensuring the streets are spotless and free of litter.]
