“Ah, we’re just a small place, and besides, the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang is a Spirit Summoner. Skimming some money and sorting things out will see this matter settle, and the higher-ups will naturally turn a blind eye,” the Village Chief said helplessly.

“But don’t worry, Your Highness, if you help us get rid of the Golden Lock Gang, we’ll give you the annual tribute money in full as a subsidy.”

“Well, speaking of the devil, the devil arrives,” Qin Muye commented. Indeed, he was only given one day to prepare, such matters surely required a gradual approach; he couldn’t be expected to encounter such issues on his first day as if he were the main character.

“By the way, Village Chief, I’m wondering if there’s anything else? You came rushing over so hurriedly?” Qin Muye asked.

“Is it remodeled, is it time to run away?”

“Not gone yet, still making a fuss, I arranged a table of food and drink to keep them from causing trouble elsewhere,” the Village Chief said, his heart tightening, unsure of Qin Muye’s intentions.

“Alright, leave this matter to me, those henchmen who came to collect the tribute haven’t left yet, have they?”

“Ok, now find a cool spot to stay,” Qin Muye tidied up his hammer and waved his hand to indicate that you can go wherever you want, just don’t block his sunshine.

“It seems like First Grade, I’m not sure about the specifics, but with Your Highness’s intervention, I’m sure the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang wouldn’t dare to trouble you. Just transfer Qingsong Village under your name, and we won’t have to pay tribute to the Golden Lock Gang anymore.” the Village Chief hadn’t contemplated asking Qin Muye to confront the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang directly, as that would be unrealistic.

“Good, from today on, you are my temporary bodyguard, the big name is Tie Zhu, and for now, let’s call you Steel Knight,” Qin Muye was very pleased with Tie Zhu, at least his appearance was evidently not to be messed with.

“But you can’t do without the help of these officials and big families, if you really offend them, I fear you will have a difficult time moving forward,” the Village Chief hesitated and said.

“No.”

“What’s the strength of the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang?” Qin Muye asked.

“Why fear them if they don’t even have a stick to fight with, just because they carry a pen?”

“Oh, His Highness wasn’t at the roll call today, I thought something bad had happened to you, so I came to check,” the Village Chief explained.

“Just a mere First Grade, he can’t withstand a single move from Tie Zhu, beat that bunch of thugs up and throw them out, tell the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang to come and apologize properly. I might spare his life, otherwise, I’ll send that so-called Golden Lock Gang on their way,” Qin Muye slowly said.

“Go ahead, no need to show any face, beat them to death, and let the villagers vent as well,” Qin Muye instructed.

“Yes, I’ll do it immediately,” the Village Chief had no choice but to trust and act accordingly.

“Yes, master,” Tie Zhu, as a reshaped Heroic Spirit loaded with numerous modules, though he has no brain, the programs inside him do, so the response to Qin Muye didn’t come from Tie Zhu, but from the Armor on his body.

“There is indeed a pressing matter. This year, the Golden Lock Gang came to collect tribute money for the third time, but what they call tribute is nothing more than extortion.”

“Do they have a Spirit Summoner?” Qin Muye asked.

“Your Highness, are you busy?” the Village Chief’s voice came from outside the yard.

“We’d put up with it if they just took the money, but they commit all sorts of atrocities, making our lives miserable.”

“A First Grade, indeed a local tyrant around here.” Qin Muye thought about letting Tie Zhu give it a try, to see how much of the First Grade’s Heroic Spirit was left intact after the encounter.

“This… this isn’t good, right? The Golden Lock Gang is a big local gang after all. Your actions could offend the officials and powerful families in the city,” the Village Chief clearly knew that the Golden Lock Gang wasn’t simple; if it weren’t for the approval of these powers, they would have been exterminated long ago.

“This… this is truly magnificent, such an important task is indeed paramount, those roll calls are just trivial in comparison.”

“Isn’t it too rude to disappear just one day after taking office? Even if I don’t give face to the Court, I should at least give face to this house.”

“How expensive is this house, to just leave it like that wouldn’t that be foolish…”

“Doesn’t anyone care about this?” Qin Muye asked.

“These people rely on their Gang Leader being a Spirit Summoner, so they act so recklessly.”

Since Qin Muye himself had mentioned going to work and clocking in yesterday, and no one came to the Government Office all morning, they had no choice but to turn to the Village Chief.

Following the direction, the Village Chief looked on with a startled expression.

Just being a Spirit Summoner was enough to make these ordinary people recoil in fear.

Moreover, he guessed that it might be accompanied by some troublesome matters. Such troubles, if they could be avoided, should be, but if they couldn’t, they might grow like a rolling snowball, eventually turning a minor issue into a major problem.

The main reason he did not take action was that he wanted to see how the temporary skill process would unfold. Perhaps he could glean some data from these three causality-level temporary skills.

Given his opponent’s strength, Qin Muye’s Prayer Technique could kill him without necessarily consuming much Magic Power.

He looked as though he was a demon forged out of black iron.

That’s right, the body is Armor, not Tie Zhu himself.

Qin Muye opened the door and asked, “Village Chief, what’s the matter?”

Qin Muye slapped his forehead, “Look at my memory. I’m really sorry, my Heroic Spirit is undergoing a transformation today, so I can’t leave for the time being. I totally forgot about that.”

Qin Muye shook his head, “You don’t really think I have no one backing me, do you? Can a bunch of poor landlords from a remote area really compete with me?”

After the person left, Qin Muye sighed, “If I weren’t just curious to see what kind of opportunity this is, I’d be saying it’s time to kill off the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang.”

Firstly, he didn’t believe Qin Muye could handle the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang; secondly, these kinds of conflicts were naturally best avoided if possible.

As he spoke, Qin Muye also pointed at Tie Zhu enjoying the cool under the tree.

After pondering for a while, why not stay secluded a couple more days? He always felt like something was going to happen, like some kind of main character’s opportunity perhaps?

Although he wasn’t very clear about Qin Muye’s strength, the daily transformation of that Heroic Spirit was enough to suggest remarkable abilities.

Therefore, his role was simply to ensure Qin Muye protected Qingsong Village, signaling that this place was his territory.

He felt that his opportunity to become a main character probably rested on this Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang; otherwise, such a situation wouldn’t exist.

The three temporary skills he possessed were definitely of causality level, not the kind that one could avoid just by wanting to.

Tie Zhu might not fully understand, so he rode his war horse under the shady tree area and stayed still without any direct command to move.

Upon hearing Qin Muye, the Village Chief first gasped, then hesitated. “If you really have powerful backers, how could you possibly be sent to Qingsong Village? But seeing how firmly Qin Muye spoke, he couldn’t refute it. If that’s the case, all the better, but if not… oh well, he genuinely wasn’t afraid.”

Otherwise, why would he cause such a fuss over something trivial? It was precisely because there were benefits Qin Muye needed that he was willing to cooperate.

To just handle a matter like Qingsong Village, the Gang Leader of the Golden Lock Gang wouldn’t take it to heart. They would just go through the motions when the time came.

The reason was simple: a Spirit Summoner and a few villages, the higher-ups would still be able to discern the true value.

Visually, today’s Tie Zhu was far more terrifying than before he was modified. For ordinary folks who couldn’t distinguish Spiritual Power, they had to judge based on appearance.

The Village Chief spoke sincerely, unlike a group of rogues who, even after being paid, would still behave recklessly; it was better to deal with official personnel. At least this Sir Wang before them was a good man.

Naturally, the Village Chief was overjoyed to be leaving. Anyone would carry that expression, given the frustrations of the past.

These hoodlums choosing exactly this time to show up couldn’t possibly be a coincidence, he thought.

He was certain of it, it was just a question of how many.

If someone dared to confront Qin Muye with just a pen, Qin Muye could break their hands.

The ferocious Black-armored Knight held a strangely shaped long spear in his left hand, wearing iron Armor featuring a style unlike any other in the world.

As for other villages, he was helpless there; he could not really antagonize Qin Muye over other villages.

While the protagonist might need to engage in battles of wits and bravery, the antagonist didn’t need to. Simply terrifying them was enough.

Finally, the Village Chief, seeing it was past midday, thought it over and came to ask a question.
