Fantasy: I can equip everything

The group returned to the Qinghe County government office as quickly as possible.

Zhou Shouzhen was overjoyed to see that Cui Haibo had brought Chen Chuang back safely.

Before he could even laugh out loud, he heard the devastating news.

"A demonic tide? Are you serious?"

Cui Haibo nodded, his face grave, and said, "How could I dare to speak carelessly about something so important?"

Zhou Shouzhen inwardly groaned.

They finally managed to resolve the matter of Chen Chuang, the secret agent.

Then another wave of monsters arrived.

If not handled properly, the consequences could be even more serious than those of the Blood Demon Cult.

"Come on! I'll take you to see Lord Li!"

When they arrived, Li Zhiyuan was sitting in the main hall of the backyard.

His eyes lit up immediately upon seeing Chen Chuang.

The magistrate, a man of great stature, was the first to rise and greet them.

"Hey, we've finally found you! Big...cough cough, little brother, we really owe you a lot this time. You helped us eliminate the evil spirit that had been hiding in Qinghe County for many years."

Chen Chuang clasped his hands in a salute and said with a smile, "You flatter me, sir. It's just my duty."

My duty...

Li Zhiyuan's expression changed.

He immediately raised his hand and said, "Someone come here!"

A servant immediately came over with a tray.

"I heard that you played a crucial role in slaying the tiger demon this time. And it was also thanks to your information that we were able to wipe out the Blood Demon Cult in the city. The county government is poor and has nothing of value to offer, so I can only present a small gift. I hope you won't find it offensive."

As he spoke, he lifted the cloth strip on the tray and handed it to him.

A... ring?

Chen Chuang was stunned for a moment.

After swindling the canal gang out of 10,000 taels of silver by taking advantage of their power, he thought the gifts from the county government would only be more generous.

Unexpectedly, it was just a ring.

At this moment, Zhou Shouzhen, who was waiting for Li Zhiyuan to finish his pleasantries and report the situation, was so shocked when he saw the ring that his eyes widened.

"The Sumeru Precept??"

Seeing his expression, Chen Chuang realized that the ring must be something extraordinary.

He simply reached out and picked it up.

[Equipable item found. Equip?]

【Sumeru Ring (Wa)】

[Grade: Blue]

[Attribute Bonus: None]

[Special Effect: When equipped, it grants one cubic meter of space, which can be used to store items.]

Equipment Requirements: None

You're not going to equip this thing anyway, are you?

After seeing the system's explanation, Chen Chuang finally understood the purpose of the Sumeru Ring.

A spatial ring?

That's good stuff!

Chen Chuang smiled and took the item, then put it on the index finger of his left hand.

As the system description says, you can use the space inside this thing whether you equip it or not, so why waste equipment slots?

"Young man, what great fortune you have!" Zhou Shouzhen said with a touch of envy as he watched this scene. "The Sumeru Ring is an extremely precious item. Only the Demon Slaying Division and the Mystic Weapon Division of the entire dynasty can produce it, and they can only produce less than a handful a year."

"Not to mention in our Qinghe County, even in the prefectural capital, it's a rare sight."

"Your Excellency, this is quite an expense for you."

Li Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "It did take a lot of effort, but your contribution this time is well worth it."

He said he didn't care, but his heart was bleeding.

What's with all this talk about spending money?

The value of the Sumeru Precepts cannot be measured by gold or silver.

He paid a considerable price for this, even contacting his former classmates and owing them a huge favor.

Originally, it was meant to be sent out when higher-ups came down to investigate the Blood Demon Cult incident.

But now that Chen Chuang is back, giving him the things is no problem.

After all, isn't the whole story here just a matter of his word?

This action, ironically, made Chen Chuang feel somewhat guilty.

On the way here, he had already guessed that Li Zhiyuan and the others probably thought he was a spy because he had revealed Liu Sanniang's identity as a member of the Blood Nether Sect.

The constant stream of lavish gifts was also intended to get him to say good things about the higher-ups in the future.

But who should be above him?

do not care!

If a benefit is offered to you, accept it first.

As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about that later.

Anyway, he never said he was a secret agent from beginning to end.

Moreover, with his current strength, he doesn't seem to have much to worry about in Qinghe County.

"Then I thank you very much for your generous gift, Magistrate."

Seeing the gifts in his hands, Li Zhiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He stroked his beard and smiled, then turned to look at Zhou Shouzhen beside him.

"You seem to be in such a hurry, is there something else?"

From the very beginning, Zhou Shouzhen and Cui Haibo showed great eagerness.

Li Zhiyuan naturally realized that there was something else he needed to report.

But in his view, what could be more troublesome than the Blood Demon Cult?

"My lord! They discovered the demon tide when they returned."

Li Zhiyuan's smile froze.

He unconsciously ripped off a large handful of his beard as he stroked it.

"Hiss..." Ignoring the pain, Li Zhiyuan quickly asked, "Where?"

"Beishan, near Yongliang Road in the northwest."

Li Zhiyuan's expression changed rapidly.

After a moment of silence in the reception room, he seemed to remember something, took a deep breath, and instructed, "Master Zhou, find a few people to investigate the situation in the Northwest District."

"At the same time, arrange for people to gather all the martial artists in the city, increase the intensity of city defense patrols, and prepare for the demon tide to attack the city."

"Send more constables to stand by at all times, and immediately bring the people from those villages back into the city if things go wrong."

After hearing these arrangements, Zhou Shouzhen responded and turned around to go down to carry out his duties.

As they approached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to ask, "Sir, shouldn't we report to the Demon Suppression Division of the prefecture?"

Li Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "I'll handle things over there. You go and take care of the tasks I assigned you!"

Having met the county magistrate and received the benefits, Chen Chuang prepared to leave.

"Sir, then I'll go first..."

Li Zhiyuan pressed down lightly with his right hand, signaling him to wait a moment.

Seeing that Zhou Shouzhen and the others had left, he pulled Chen Chuang into the inner room.

Upon entering the inner room, Chen Chuang was immediately stunned.

There sat an unremarkable middle-aged man behind a desk, quietly looking at documents.

With his current physical abilities, he can hear the crawling of an insect clearly within a hundred meters.

But from the very beginning, he hadn't noticed that there was someone sitting on the other side of the wall.

"Sir, thankfully the person has been found!"

Even Li Zhiyuan has to call him "sir"...

Chen Chuang's heart tightened immediately.

Could it be that someone from higher up has really come?

Oh no!

The fake has met the real deal.

How am I going to explain this to myself?

Before Chen Chuang could make up his mind, he saw the man put down the document and smile gently.

"You did a great job; the company's years of training have paid off."
