Chapter 1208: Sturdy Backpack

"Are you here for this?" Zhang Heng waved the [Escape Dagger] in his hand.

The little boy nodded and said, "There's something wrong with the value of this item, and it has affected the game's balance. It needs to be adjusted. Can you show me the dagger?"

His voice was not loud, but Zhang Heng could clearly hear every word, just like the system notification.

"Of course." Zhang Heng didn't refuse. If everything went according to plan, this little boy before him was the reason why Loki was restricted after changing the main storyline mission. It was also because of him that he was able to defeat Loki tonight. More importantly, this little boy was able to keep him in the dungeon. Zhang Heng knew that if he didn't agree to hand over the dagger, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to leave.

However, when Zhang Heng pulled out the dagger, he still tried to sound him out. "This thing was yours to begin with, wasn't it?"

The boy did not answer. He only looked at the white-haired man beside him. The latter shrugged. "I'm starting to feel like I'm your radish."

However, after saying that, he still walked up to Zhang Heng.

"Butcher of Bravekan? Nice to meet you." Zhang Heng handed the dagger over.

"I've never really liked this nickname," the white-haired man said. "But thank you for your cooperation." He took the dagger and examined it before handing it over to the little boy.

The latter nodded at Zhang Heng. "One moment." He then started to fiddle with the dagger.

Zhang Heng saw with his own eyes that the dagger in the little boy's hand had been broken down into a series of characters. They were about a few hundred thousand bytes long, and they were overlapping each other.

Half a minute later, the little boy returned the dagger to the white-haired man's hand. He gestured for the latter to return it to Zhang Heng, and at the same time, he explained, "I've already changed the number of times this item has been used three times, but this bug has nothing to do with you. You didn't use this bug for your own benefit, so you're at a disadvantage by changing it. I should make it up to you. First, do you have anything you want?"

Zhang Heng thought about it and said, "I have a friend who has a rare disease, and she doesn't have much time left. If possible, I'd like to know if you have anything that can cure her."

"I do, but I can't give it to you," the little boy refused without hesitation, but then he patiently explained, "I'm here to fix the bug, so it's impossible for me to compensate you for something as valuable as that dagger. Also, I left that item in a certain dungeon, and I needed to complete a series of complicated missions to obtain it. The point is that a long time has passed, and I can't remember which dungeon it is."

He saw Zhang Heng and the white-haired man beside him turn to look at him, and he frowned, "Why? Do you know how many dungeons I manage? How can I remember everything? I wouldn't have set up a game organizing committee otherwise..."

"No matter what, you shouldn't throw such important things around," the white-haired man said in a deep, magnetic voice.

"I didn't leave it lying around. I told you, I left it in a dungeon. To get it, you need to complete a series of complicated quests, just like the god of war series. If someone really manages to complete these quests, not only will they get the B-grade item, but they'll also be able to grow as well. This is also the reason why we have to play the game." The little boy did not seem to like being lectured, annoyed.

"Can you send me into that dungeon?" Zhang Heng asked.

"No, even though your strength is more or less enough, other than some special dungeons, the rest of the regular dungeons can only be randomly selected. If you want to enter that dungeon, you can only try your luck. Moreover, with the difficulty of that dungeon, it's almost impossible for you to encounter it in the first 30 rounds."

"I can't wait that long. Looks like I'll have to think of another way," Zhang Heng said.

The little boy opened his mouth, but he swallowed what he was about to say in the end. He said, "You can change your compensation plan."

"I can't think of anything else that I want," Zhang Heng said. "Then let's just forget about it. Send me out of this dungeon. I've already gained enough this time."

He wasn't being polite. In addition, Zhang Heng had already obtained four game items from this [Escape Dagger] dungeon. Adding on the 800 plus game points, it could be said he had a bumper harvest.

However, the little boy insisted, "No, we can't just forget about it. The ones who don't compensate for the bugs are the ones who don't pay."

"..."

"What you just said should be engraved on the stone tablet and become the law." The white-haired man looked like he couldn't agree more.

"Then keep it for now," Zhang Heng said. "I'll come to you when I think of what I want."

"That's the only way." The little boy looked a little helpless. "You can contact me through the prize you won in the first round of the proxy war."

"That PS4 Pro?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. "How do I contact you? Add your PSN account?"

"You'll find it. This is also part of the game." This time, the little boy did not give a definite answer to a certain person. He only said vaguely.

"Alright, then I'll see you later," Zhang Heng said.

In the next moment, the familiar system notification finally rang in his ear again.

[You have reached the return deadline. Mission completion confirmed...]

[Invisible killer cleared the dungeon. Round 10 of the game has ended. You are about to return to the real world...]

[Congratulations, you have cleared ten consecutive rounds of the game. It has been detected that you have been in single-player mode all this time. Reward: one Sturdy Backpack (authenticated)]

Before Zhang Heng left the dungeon, he used the last bit of time to glance at the attributes of the sturdy backpack.

[Name: Sturdy Backpack ]

[Rarity: F]

[Function: it's just an ordinary backpack. Please don't be fooled by its name. It's not too sturdy.]

This thing looked just like its function described. It was a completely ordinary backpack, but Zhang Heng knew its value and wasn't fooled by its F-grade. This was because it was a rare storage item.

As everyone knew, due to the game's mechanism, players were unable to bring non-item items into and out of the dungeon. There was no such thing as an unscientific portable space that could be found everywhere in the game; therefore, they could only carry all the items themselves. The smaller items could be kept in their pockets, but the larger items could only be carried in their hands. This restricted the ability to bring all the items into the dungeon without restrictions.

Normal players could carry the items, but the guild leaders and vice-guild leaders of large guilds could only carry as many as they could carry.

This [Sturdy Backpack] solved this problem to a certain extent. At the very least, it provided Zhang Heng with something that could fit a portion of the items inside.. Of course, it could not be compared to the storage space, however, it could at least keep his hands free for combat and emergency situations.
