Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Set Parts

"The fusion was still a success this time, perfectly stacking the compartments of the two Waist Bags on top of each other." After successfully fusing out a Waist Bag +3, Zhang Yanhang took another eight Waist Bags from the remaining fourteen. That’s right, since he had succeeded with Waist Bag +3, he naturally wanted to fuse Waist Bag +4 next. After all, sixteen compartments weren’t really that many.

After spending a little time crafting a new Waist Bag +3, Zhang Yanhang put two Waist Bag +3s together and restarted the Alchemy Array. Compared to last time, the fusion speed had decreased significantly this time.

If last time was like a handsome guy meeting a gold digger, then this time it was the handsome guy meeting another handsome guy, and he had to forcibly bend the two guys before combining them. Only then could the fusion succeed, indicating a very high overall Fusion Difficulty.

"It seems that Waist Bag +4 might be the limit of its fusion..."

Although it could be considered a success this time, if Zhang Yanhang wanted to continue fusing next time, it wouldn’t just be a simple problem like a handsome guy meeting another handsome guy, as the handsome guy was, after all, a Human.

If he insisted on fusing forcefully, the next fusion would probably end up like a handsome guy encountering an unknown species of life form, both refusing to submit, fighting to the death, and both biting their tongues and committing suicide because they couldn’t stand the insult.

Looking at the Waist Bag +4, which had fused with fifteen Waist Bags but showed no change in appearance, Zhang Yanhang pulled up its Attribute list.

[Raccoon City Police Department Special Tactical Rescue Team Standard Police Waist Bag (Unnamed) +4]

[Quality: Blue]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Main World, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Room 505, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 70/70]

[Defensive Power: 40]

[Special Attribute: Storage.]

[Storage: You can store any 32 items with a total volume not exceeding 1 cubic meter inside the Waist Bag’s internal space.]

[Usage Requirements: None.]

[Score: 52 (Blue item scores range from 31 to 70.)]

[Description: The Raccoon City Police Department Special Tactical Rescue Team Standard Police Waist Bag has only thirty-two storage compartments of one cubic meter each, so it cannot store single items with a total volume exceeding thirty-two cubic meters, and it cannot store life forms in the conventional sense.]

"To stop at 32 compartments, although it’s already doubled from the original, even 32 compartments still seem not enough. If I could have 64 compartments, maybe then I’d be more satisfied."

In fact, compared to a Waist Bag where each compartment could hold only one item, what Zhang Yanhang desired more was the kind of normal Storage Items that allowed arbitrary storage as long as it didn’t exceed the total capacity.

Unfortunately, he had not yet encountered any storage items of this type, so for the waist bag, he could only make do.

Although Zhang Yanhang currently didn’t have a sufficient number of ordinary waist bags to upgrade one to +5, he still felt quite regretful about the fact that it couldn’t be enhanced to +5.

After all, with the ongoing extermination of zombies in the Outer Zone of Raccoon City, he would definitely continue to obtain a lot of them; it was a pity that he could only fuse up to +4, otherwise, Zhang Yanhang thought that getting a 128-slot waist bag +6 with the number of police zombies in Raccoon City would likely be no problem.

"Now comes the problem, what should I do with these remaining six waist bags?" Zhang Yanhang pondered and felt it would be better to fuse them as well, as it would save space.

After wasting some time, Zhang Yanhang successfully fused the six waist bags into one waist bag +1 and one waist bag +2.

Looking at the two waist bags in front of him, Zhang Yanhang suddenly thought of something, "Since a waist bag is also equipment, can it be directly placed into another waist bag?"

Having three waist bags hanging on his belt felt somewhat bulky and unsightly, so he wanted to try if he could put the two newly fused waist bags into the waist bag +4.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yanhang immediately tried this clever move of placing a waist bag into another, and unexpectedly, it succeeded without a hitch, "Can it really be nested like this? Even though they are both spatial equipment..."

Zhang Yanhang originally thought the chances of success were not high, but it turned out to be as easy as placing regular equipment.

"If you could nest indefinitely like this, then a single waist bag could indeed hold a lot," Zhang Yanhang reflected briefly, and then began to organize the rest of his equipment.

From the treasure box of the zombie police, a total of 54 pieces of equipment were obtained, 18 of which were the just-fused waist bags, and the remaining 36 pieces were all part of the Raccoon City Police Department Special Tactical Rescue Team standard police equipment set, so Zhang Yanhang was ready to sort out these 36 pieces of equipment to see how many he could wear.

First were the pieces Zhang Yanhang could directly wear, which were the blast-resistant bulletproof helmet, standard police head cover, bulletproof stab-resistant vest, anti-poison mask, standard police elbow pads, stab-resistant cut-proof gloves, standard police jacket, and standard police cotton socks.

Indeed, there were as many as eight pieces that Zhang Yanhang could wear, meaning he could easily complete the set attribute of ten pieces.

Aside from these eight pieces, there were some that could be used but wouldn’t normally be needed often, such as the metal bulletproof shield, standard police raincoat, standard police umbrella, and standard police rain boots.

Then there were the remaining 24 pieces, some of which could be attached to the waist belt; it was mentioned before that the belt had nine pouches for equipment, and half were now filled with a standard police baton, a pair of standard police handcuffs, a standard police water bottle, a high-intensity flashlight, and an M9 military pistol.

The other pouches could be used for a walkie-talkie, cellphone, spare magazines, and grenades, but Zhang Yanhang hadn’t obtained these items from the treasure boxes, so he removed these pouches—yes, they were all detachable.

After detaching these four pouches, Zhang Yanhang equipped several separate set parts from the treasure boxes, including the standard police bullet pouch, standard police miscellany bag, standard police magazine pouch, and standard police equipment bag.

These four pouches, along with the waist belt and the five pieces of equipment it held, just completed the ten-piece set.

Zhang Yanhang had actually speculated back in Ashen World whether it was possible to obtain the benefits of all five set effects with just one belt alone—if so, that would indeed be very convenient.

Now was the crucial moment for Zhang Yanhang to verify his speculation; he had just woken up and was wearing nothing, so if he could receive the bonuses from wearing just one belt, then his speculation could be considered a success.
