“The Ring of Fire God’s Eye (Golden, Damaged), Ring, guaranteed drop upon death. Equipped, it increases damage by 15%; comes with the Fire God Shield, reflecting 30% melee damage. Special Effect 1: Grants permanent immunity against being slowed or frozen by ice-based damage. Special Effect 2: Occasionally triggers Wrath of the Fire God when dealing damage to a target, dealing an additional 300 points of fire damage; this effect can only occur once within a 30-second duration. Requirement: Level 1; Can it be taken out of the game: No. Item description: This item was the favorite possession of the Fire God, Hephaestus. Due to the fall of the Fire God, the item lost its godly status and became damaged, decreasing its value. However, if, one day, you manage to obtain the godly status of Hephaestus, you can repair this item back to its divine origin.”

“Damaged gold grade? Divine artifact?” Song Jian couldn’t help but break into a smile of delight on his face; this item had the potential to turn into the divine artifacts.

Players can only wear two rings at the same time, one on the left hand and one on the right; Song Jian currently wears the Ring of Storage and the Ring of

Strength.

However, he was able to use the Ring of Storage to expand his baggage section immediately, as he had not found any other rings before and had been carrying the Ring of Storage with him all the time to get a few more storage boxes.

Now that he had the Eye of the Fire God, he naturally expanded the baggage section directly using the Ring of Storage.

After clicking “Use”, the Storage Ring turned into a ray of blue light and directly integrated into the baggage area. Soon, the storage section, which had only sixteen spaces, quickly turned into a storage area with twenty spaces.

Song Jian equipped the Eye of the Fire God instantly. All of a sudden, a warmth flowed out of the ring and surged through his entire body.

After using the Ring of Storage, although the number of storage boxes decreased by a few, for Song Jian, who had just obtained a golden grade ring, the loss was still within the expected range.

After putting on the Eye of the Fire God, Song Jian turned his attention to the two remaining items.

These remaining two items were a small, deep-red, triangular flag and a Town Return Scroll.

The red triangular flag, named “Damaged Flag of the Fire God”, is a white-grade item. When equipped, it can summon two fire elemental elves of the same level as the user to assist in combat every half an hour.

The strength of these two fire elemental elves increases as the user levels up. If killed, they can only be re-summoned after a period of twelve hours.

The remaining Town Return Scroll was something Song Jian had seen in the hands of the goblin merchant Canaan before. It was a life-saving artifact that, when torn in a dangerous situation, could directly return the user to a previously set safe place.

“This is really good. As expected of a treasure map, the rewards are indeed very generous!” Song Jian looked at the Flag of the Fire God and the Town Return Scroll in his baggage section and was very satisfied.

Just then, the statues guarding both sides of him suddenly started to shake. The rock shells on their surfaces shattered instantly, with their eyes glowing a bright red, locking onto Song Jian.

Song Jian was taken aback, not expecting these two statues to actually move. He was already surrounded by fish-headed monsters and water elementals outside the cave, making it impossible to leave. Now, he was being hunted down by these two statues, with nowhere to run. It seemed like he was in a hopeless situation.

Just then, Song Jian quickly drew a Town Return Scroll from his baggage section and tore it apart. Instantly, magic runes engulfed him entirely, turning into a white light and disappearing from the spot.

The Town Return Scroll was arguably the safest life-saving artifact, only that it was far too scarce. Even among the players, its existence was mostly just rumors and none could truly own it, especially when the players only had one life in this game – the preciousness of the Town Return Scroll had been significantly elevated, and it was even comparable to a top-tier silver equipment.

It was not easy for Song Jian to use this Town Return Scroll here without hesitation; just a slight regret would not have allowed him to use this Town Return Scroll.

Right when Song Jian disappeared into the white light, the two statues on both sides brandished their massive swords at the altar, smashing it into a pile of rubble.

At this time, players over level ten were rushing towards the Wetland Park, including some guild players with their guilds’ insignia, making them distinct from the ordinary loner players.

However, Song Jian, the trigger of this storyline mission, had returned to his own Manor Castle. Since he hadn’t set a safe return point, the system defaulted to using the Town Return Scroll and brought him back to his safe house.

Feeling that Song Jian had returned, the butler George hurried over.

“Honorable Lord, 1 have a few matters to report to you!” said George respectfully.

“What is it? George, as long as it is related to our domain, you can make decisions on your own. As I recall, I’ve given you this authority before.” Song Jian sat in a rocking chair and slowly closed his eyes.

Being chased by a large group of fish-headed monsters and water elementals in the Jinyang Lake earlier had kept Song Jian’s nerves on edge, and any moment of carelessness could have easily cost him his life. Now he could finally relax and take a breather.

“Actually, my lord, our domain has been developing quite well recently. There are some things I need to report to you!” George replied respectfully: “The shops we built recently have started to make a profit. Over the past few days, we’ve earned 130 Doomsday Coins, but we’ve also spent 67 on buying food and 23 on buying seeds and other materials….”

Before George could finish, he was cut off by Song Jian, who waved his hand and said:” George, you don’t have to report such things to me. As long as the balance of income and expenditure can be achieved, that’s enough. If there is a shortage of money, just ask me. In the future, you should take more care of the development of our domain. Also, if Dr. Ebsiting has any demands, they must be met promptly. If you can’t meet them, remember to report to me.” Song Jian waved his hand, ready to dismiss George, but George hesitated for a moment before continuing: “Mylord, recently, some God’s Chosen have begun to build safe houses around our domain. This will affect our expansion plans in the future….”

“Are there any with substantial abilities?” Song Jian asked casually.

“We haven’t discovered any as of yet….”

“Then continue the plan, and notify them to surrender when the time comes. If they refuse, wipe them out!” Song Jian sneered.

“Yes, Mylord!” George nodded, and continued, “There’s a strange building that has appeared about ten kilometers away from our domain. According to the God’s Chosen, it’s called Auction House. 1 think this news might be useful to my lord….”

“Auction House?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he quickly sat up from the rocking chair.
