Chapter 337: Great Liang’s Country Protector King, the Grade of the Cosmic Bangle (2)

Cao Chenyang was anxious. He was also enlightened and said loudly, “King Zhou, I will write down the decree on the imperial edict. This is our Great Liang’s repayment and sincerity to you. King Zhou, you don’t have to be responsible for our Great Liang. You just need to receive your stipend!”

Zhou Shu stopped in his tracks. Stipend?

This is good.

That bastard Great Qin emperor only gave me a title. I’ve yet to receive a single cent from him!

Although he had miners now, who would complain about having too much money?

A stipend was like a pension. It was fine to have it, but without it, one really didn’t feel at ease.

Seeing Zhou Shu stop, Cao Chenyang struck while the iron was hot and said loudly, “From now on, King Zhou will be the Country Protector King of Great Liang. In the territory of Great Liang, King Zhou will enjoy the same power as me. Under one person and above millions—”

Cao Chenyang took out a brush from somewhere and wrote a few lines on the blank imperial edict. Then, afraid that Zhou Shu would refuse again, he stuffed the imperial edict into Shi Songtao’s hand and flew away.

Shi Songtao was a little confused. Why did he stuff the imperial edict into my hand? What does this have to do with me?

I’m not the one receiving the title?

Do you really think I’m his chief steward?

I’m the deputy pavilion master! The deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion, okay!

Everyone was abnormally quiet. Yin Wuyou, Mi Ziwen, and the others were all looking at the imperial edict in Shi Songtao’s hand.

Even watching it happen in front of their eyes was hard for them to accept.

Zhou Shu became the Country Protector King of Great Liang just like that?

Why did it feel like child’s play?

He had indeed saved Cao Chenyang and protected the remnants of the Great Liang army…

But there were only a dozen or so soldiers left.

Was this credit deserving of the title of a king?

It didn’t seem to be enough…

But Cao Chenyang had said that it concerned the life and death of Great Liang and that saving him was equivalent to saving Great Liang. Outsiders like them really had no way to distinguish such things.

The imperial edict had already been issued. This title of king was real and couldn’t be faked!

“Cao Chenyang, impressive!” Mi Ziwen sighed, impressed.

He realized that Cao Chenyang had played a clever move.

Using the flashy title of a king as an amulet for Great Liang was definitely a good deal.

Mi Ziwen looked at Zhou Shu with a complicated expression. Originally, he had only wanted to help his teacher take care of this illegitimate son when he became sworn brothers with him.

Unexpectedly, a moment of impulse allowed him to have such a towering brother.

“Why doesn’t this Old Cao have the composure of a first-rank expert?” Zhou Shu looked at Cao Chenyang’s disappearing back helplessly.

“I haven’t even asked how much the salary of the king of Great Liang is,” he muttered.

Although his voice was soft, everyone present was at least a sixth-rank martial artist. How could they not hear him?

Everyone was speechless. Is that all you care about?

Compared to the glory of a king, is a small salary worth caring about?

You’re a king. Why do you care about a small salary?

A king was second only to the emperor in a country.

Cao Chenyang had already said that in Great Liang, Zhou Shu would be only under one person and above millions. There would be no lack of money.

“Forget it. It’s no use worrying.” Zhou Shu casually said, “Deputy Pavilion Master, put the imperial edict in the storeroom of our Huaxia Pavilion. No matter what, it’s someone else’s kindness. It’s not good to lose it.”

Shi Songtao: “…”

Your Highness, can you not pretend? This is an imperial edict!

“Deputy Pavilion Master, work is more important. Come to the forging room and look for me. I’ll teach you how to forge the Cosmic Bangle. You have to forge a few more of these as soon as possible so that I can send some military supplies to General Meng.”

“Okay, I’m coming!” Shi Songtao perked up. Your Highness, you didn’t pretend at all. That lousy imperial edict is only worthy of being thrown in the storeroom!

Zhou Shu and Shi Songtao left. Mi Ziwen was still holding the not-so-exquisite Cosmic Bangle.

Yin Wuyou, Mei Wushang, and the others all looked at the Cosmic Bangle with envy.

Although it looked a little rough and ugly, it was a divine artifact that could store things.

“Sir Mi, is this Cosmic Bangle considered a weapon? If it is, what grade is it?” Yin Wuyou suddenly asked.

“I suppose so.” Mi Ziwen pondered. His spiritual essence moved slightly, and the star paths lit up on the Cosmic Bangle. The five-foot-square translucent space appeared in the air again.

“One, two, three…” He quickly counted the star positions on the star paths.

After a moment, he gasped.

“Heaven-grade!” Mi Ziwen exclaimed.

He and Yin Wuyou looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

The storage characteristics of the Cosmic Bangle were already a huge matter. But they didn’t expect the Cosmic Bangle to be a heaven-grade item.

On the Cosmic Bracelet, there were a total of 20 star paths and 700 star positions. It was a true heaven-grade weapon!

In other words, Zhou Shu was a Grand Craftsman!

Everyone was in a daze. Before this, Zhou Shu’s forging record showed that the highest-grade weapon he had forged was the black-grade Great Destroyer Sword.

He had never forged an earth-grade weapon before, but he could already forge a heaven-grade weapon?

“Your Highness, how old is my second brother?” Mi Ziwen asked weakly.

“Nineteen years and eight months, ten months older than me…” Yin Wuyou muttered softly.

“A Grand Craftsman under the age of twenty…” Mi Ziwen mumbled. Second Brother is probably the youngest Grand Craftsman in history.

No, he is also the youngest first-rank martial artist!

Is Second Brother’s Martial Dao cultivation at first rank?

Thinking about how Zhou Shu could kill first-rank demonic beasts like cutting vegetables, he was a little uncertain.

But he was at the first rank at the very least.

Now, he increasingly felt that his second brother was really a monster, even more so than a demonic beast!

Zhou Shu naturally didn’t know about everyone’s shock.

He really didn’t care about the grade of the Cosmic Bangle.

It didn’t matter to him now whether he was a Forging Master or a Grand Craftsman.

Given his status, no Grand Craftsman would dare put on airs in front of him.

The Cosmic Bangle was not a combat weapon. Its grade was really not that important.

…

The Cosmic Bangle can’t complete kills, so how can it give benefits?

In the forging room, Zhou Shu flipped through his Legendary Armament Canon while waiting for Shi Songtao to come over.

Another page appeared on the Legendary Armament Canon. On it was the Cosmic Bangle!

The content of this page was slightly different from before. Below the picture, the line of text for the upgrade condition was missing.

The Cosmic Bangle was the first non-combat weapon that appeared in the Legendary Armament Canon.

The Dark Cloud Armor didn’t count. The Dark Cloud Armor was the reward from the Mo Mei Sword and wasn’t included in the Legendary Armament Canon.

In the past, the weapons he had forged were either sabers or swords. As long as they completed kills successfully, the Legendary Armament Canon would reward him.

Now, this Cosmic Bangle…

Crush someone with it?

Or put people in a space and suffocate them to death?

Zhou Shu felt that this was ridiculous.

It wasn’t meant to kill. It was an auxiliary weapon. Using it to kill was putting the cart before the horse. Besides, it wasn’t practical.

Is there really no way to farm rewards from the Cosmic Bangle? Zhou Shu thought regretfully.

The Legendary Armament Canon was unreasonable. If he really couldn’t farm rewards, he had no choice.

Since he couldn’t farm rewards, Zhou Shu wasn’t that interested in forging Cosmic Bangles.

So what if it was heaven-grade?

It was worse than standard weapons.

Standard weapons could at least make him stronger.

He would teach Shi Songtao the forging method of the Cosmic Bangle later and let him forge them. Zhou Shu wasn’t willing to do such laborious work.

But he could forge a better-looking Cosmic Bangle for himself. After all, every time he took something out of the space, it didn’t match his outstanding temperament.
