Chapter 787: Treasure Selection
Among all the cities, Chibi City is medium-sized at best, but it also has a population of hundreds of thousands.
The food and materials consumed by the residents in these cities daily are not enough to be produced by themselves. A large part comes from the many villages below and trade with other cities.
Therefore, the saintly ancestor’s path is also a path of life.
Once the Holy Ancestor's path is cut off by rogue bandits, and Chibi City can only hold on for a month or two at most, chaos will definitely occur.
This is something Zhao Zhenxuan absolutely cannot tolerate!
This innate strong man has sent out many teams to eliminate rogue bandits, but each time they failed and suffered heavy losses.
So far, two acquired masters have been killed in the battle, dozens of warriors at the peak of marrow refining have been injured, and the rest have suffered even greater casualties.
No matter how big Chibi City is, it cannot bear such continuous blood loss.
Wang Chen was surprised: "The bandits are so strong?"
"That's right."
Zhao Zhenxuan nodded with a gloomy look: "The leader of the bandits is the peak of acquired cultivation!"
The day after tomorrow, the peak person will also do the job of robbing families and homes?
Wang Chen felt incredible when he heard it.
Even if such a master can't survive in one place, he can still thrive in another city incognito. Isn't it much better than being a bandit?
Is it for excitement?
Zhao Zhenxuan gave a very reasonable explanation.
He speculated that the bandits that harassed Chibi City were most likely supported by other cities.
This is not something unbelievable.
There are countless examples of cities supporting or forming rogue teams and sending them to other cities to plunder supplies. Especially in years when the food harvest is not good, many things happen.
These bandits not only attacked the Holy Ancestor's path, but also targeted the villages below the city, robbing homes and houses, and were very cruel.
At present, Chibi City has lost contact with many villages, and it is suspected that several have fallen.
Therefore, exterminating this evil bandit has become the most important thing in Chibi City right now.
The problem is that as the most important combat force in Chibi City, Zhao Zhenxuan cannot easily leave the city to suppress bandits.
"There are many rogue eyes and ears in the city."
The innate strong man said in a deep voice: "Once I leave, they will definitely cause trouble in the city."
What the bandits are best at is fighting guerrilla warfare. They will never fight Zhao Zhenxuan hard, they will only use sneak attacks and plots.
Zhao Zhenxuan had to stabilize his base, so he came here to ask Wang Chen to take action!
After Wang Chen heard this, he asked directly: "Then what's the benefit to me?"
In fact, Wang Chen was already interested at this time, because it would not burden him to eliminate these evil-doing bandits, and he could earn a lot of health points.
But if he agreed directly like this, wouldn't it make him look cheap?
Wang Chen didn't want to leave the other party with the impression that he was "easy to talk to"!
"How about a magic weapon?"
Zhao Zhenxuan had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago and said without hesitation: "There are two magic weapons in the secret vault of the City Lord's Mansion. They destroyed this group of bandits. You can choose one!"
The heart of this innate strong man was bleeding.
The magic weapons were so precious. If the situation hadn't been so bad this time, he wouldn't have been willing to give one as a reward.
"A divine weapon."
Unexpectedly, Wang Chen looked uninterested: "I already have it."
Wang Chen not only has magic weapons, but he also has three of them!
It's useless no matter how much.
Even if you don’t want the magic weapon, you can’t deal with Zhao Zhenxuan now: “Then you say it!”
Money, women, power, and martial arts were all available to Zhao Zhenxuan, but he estimated that these mundane things might not be able to impress Wang Chen, so he simply left the question to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen was also in a bit of trouble - he didn't lack anything!
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen said: "Let's do this. Let me go to the secret library and let me choose three things, except for the magic weapon."
"make a deal!"
Zhao Zhenxuan agreed without hesitation.
The secret vault of the city lord's palace is filled with his private collection, the most precious of which are two magic weapons. If Wang Chen doesn't want the magic weapons, let alone three items, he is totally willing to give up a few more.
To show his sincerity, he said: "We just go and choose now."
This innate strong man was quite good, so Wang Chen did not refuse and followed him to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly the largest and most magnificent building complex in Chibi City. With many high-walled mansions and buildings, it is like a city within a city.
Zhao Zhenxuan took Wang Chen straight into the center of his mansion, dismissed the people around him, and opened the door to the underground secret vault.
The size of this secret warehouse is comparable to the one owned by Mr. Yao in Beishan. Everything inside is basically displayed on shelves, including weapons, utensils, materials, elixirs, techniques, etc., but the quality is obviously much lower.
The most eye-catching among them are undoubtedly the two magic weapons, one hammer and one stick.
But the magic weapon that Zhao Zhenxuan regarded as a treasure was not as good as his Overlord Spear and Yue-Zhan Dao in Wang Chen's eyes.
"The shield on the fifth square in the second row on the right is good."
Just as Wang Chen was choosing carefully, Mr. Yao's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Wang Chen walked over calmly and found the item pointed by the Nascent Soul Immortal.
This is a shield-shaped metal plate the size of a palm, almost two fingers thick, with a black gold color, and countless fine runes engraved on the surface, but it has no aura at all.
"This is a protective magic weapon."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in Yao Lao's voice: "I don't know which fellow Taoist brought it down."
The person he calls a fellow Taoist must be a monk of the same level!
The things are there, but the people are long gone.
Wang Chen immediately pocketed it without even looking at it.
This magic weapon cannot exert much power in the Wushan Realm. Once it is taken back to the Haotian Realm, its value will be high.
It is only natural that he worked so hard to come to this world to gain some benefits for himself.
Then, under Yao Lao's guidance, Wang Chen collected two more good things.
These things are all left behind by the monks in the lower realm, and only those at the Nascent Soul level can bring the items down. Those that have been preserved to this day must be of the highest quality.
The natives of this world like Zhao Zhenxuan should be aware of their extraordinaryness, but they do not understand the origin and purpose of these items, so they can only collect dust in the secret vault.
Over time, I forgot about it.
Now being dug out and taken away by Wang Chen, Zhao Zhenxuan's eyes flashed thoughtfully on the side.
He doesn't even want magic weapons, but wants these useless foreign objects. If he wants to say that there is nothing special about it, then he is too stupid!
But Zhao Zhenxuan had no intention of going back on his words.
"alright."
Wang Chen picked around the other party's secret library and felt quite satisfied.
The next step is to work hard.
"City Lord Zhao, please give me all the information related to this group of bandits."
Wang Chen said: "I will bring their heads back within three days!"
