Mighty Strike Bow and Elf Quiver

Thump, thump, thump...

Li Beihai drove his SUV back to Spider Demon Valley.

Upon seeing the corpses of the awakened ones on the ground and hearing about the ambush, Li Beihai was also greatly surprised.

"Thank goodness you're all alright, thank goodness you're all alright..."

Li Beihai sighed, his thick eyebrows furrowing. "Are you sure they're from the Boutu Guild?"

"Yes, we caught one alive." Bai Xiaowen gestured to Zhang Zhan, who was now in a human-shaped, stick-like state.

"Four High Elite Tier of level 8-9 ambushed you, and you killed three of them and even captured one alive?" Li Beihai finally realized the astonishing nature of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's battle. He glanced deeply at the three corpses on the ground, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Zhan, the level 9 Awakened One. "You two... have really become very powerful."

"Dad is the best. When you were here, they didn't dare to make a move at all." Li Shuyi truly is a sweet and considerate daughter.

Li Beihai shook his head. "Come on... If it were me, I might be able to defeat these four guys, but it would be difficult to capture them all, let alone keep them alive."

After a pause, Li Beihai looked at Bai Xiaowen and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"I don't have much experience in this area, so I'd like to hear the president's advice," Bai Xiaowen said.

Li Beihai nodded. "With the combat information from the Spirit Realm Rules as evidence, their attack on you is undeniable. As long as it's submitted to the Awakened Association, this person will most likely face the death penalty or life imprisonment. Your act of killing three Awakened individuals is self-defense and won't cause you any trouble."

Bai Xiaowen said, "If that were the only outcome, I might as well have just killed this guy and taken the treasure chest."

Zhang Zhan had been burying his head in the sand with his eyes closed, but upon hearing Bai Xiaowen's words, he shrank back even further.

Li Shuyi laughed and said, "What can we do? The 30 minutes for self-defense have already passed. Even if we kill him, our combat rating won't increase; it will actually decrease."

Li Beihai said, "What I just described was only the worst-case scenario. From our perspective, we definitely need to find the mastermind behind this, namely Zhao Yannian, the vice president of the Boutu Guild. In that case, we still need to appeal to the Awakened Association."

"Can we find him?" Bai Xiaowen asked. "I mean, if this trigger touches Zhao Yannian, will it make him confess and submit to the law?"

"It's hard to say, but I will definitely do my best to push this forward," Li Beihai said.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

"You two shouldn't participate in the road clearing work for the time being," Li Beihai said. "After this incident, I'm worried about leaving you two in the Wilderness Zone. Go back to school immediately and we'll talk again once the final outcome of this matter is determined."

"This is unnecessary... I don't think there will be a second wave of assassins anytime soon," Bai Xiaowen said.

"Better safe than sorry, don't take this risk," Li Beihai said seriously, leaving no room for compromise.

"Alright." Since the president and Taishan had spoken, Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to obey.

The SUV drove back to Jinghai City, and Li Beihai then ordered his men to compile the materials, including Zhang Zhan's confession, the combat information shared by Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi (printed copies), etc., which provided detailed evidence.

Li Beihai, holding the documents, personally escorted Zhang Zhan to the Awakened Association.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi drove to Jinghai University to register. The reason for calling it "registration" was actually because Jinghai University was a very safe environment, much safer than Jinghai City.

Bai Xiaowen's previous plans, apart from the postponement of the guild's collective cleanup operation, included other things such as producing potions to supply the Super God Potion Shop and transporting supplies to his own virtual store, all of which proceeded as usual, regardless of where he was.

While Bai Xiaowen was driving, Li Shuyi, sitting in the passenger seat, opened the three treasure chests dropped by Zhao You and the other awakened individuals.

Two of the three treasure chests were rated B-Tier, which is a significant improvement and gives you two chances to draw from them, so it's not bad. But the chest dropped by the Snipe Chen Tianyou was rated A-Tier, and he got three chances to draw from it!

This isn't just about getting an B-Tier draw A-Tier; it also means that the overall value of the items in the chest has increased slightly, making it easier to draw good stuff.

"You're a level 5 Elite Tier. Killing a level 8 Elite Tier doesn't warrant an initial B-Tier rating from the Spirit Realm Rules. Even with the bonus for self-defense, you only managed to reach A-Tier."

Bai Xiaowen drove steadily and laughed, "Let's see what's in the Bloody Cards. I got my Desert Eagle from the Bloody Cards, and I was so happy for a long time."

Li Shuyi nodded and began drawing cards.

First, there were two B-Tier treasure chests. I drew them four times in a row, and all I got were some health-restoring foods and miscellaneous items, which weren't very valuable. The best draw I got was just a blue bracer.

"Such bad luck?" Li Shuyi raised her eyebrows.

"Haha, these two treasure chests are practically Elite Tier drops. Even if those Awakened Ones reach higher levels, how many good pieces of equipment can they possibly have? I bet most of them are Blue Gear, with only a few rare Gold Equipment," Bai Xiaowen laughed.

That's why Bai Xiaowen felt incredibly lucky to draw the Desert Eagle from a regular level 3 Awakened's Bloody Cards, and was happy for several days.

The opponent probably gained all their profits from their several trips to the Spirit Realm from this Desert Eagle, with only some white-grade or even low-quality equipment besides it.

Li Shuyi opened Snipe Chen Tianyou's treasure chest and clicked on the Bloody Cards: "If I don't get anything good this time, I won't draw any cards for a month!"

Swish!

A golden light shone inside the car.

"You have obtained the Gold Equipment: Mighty Strike Bow (with the Elf Quiver as an attachment)."

[Mighty Strike Bow (Bind on Pickup)] (Enhancement Level +7)

[Quality: Heroic Tier (Gold)]

[Equipment Slot: Two-Handed]

[Equipment Requirements: Base Strength 15, Base Agility 25]

[Attributes: Attack Power 17~41 (Base Attack Power 10~24)]

[Additional Skill: Powerful Shot: Passive effect, while charging, every 1/2/3 seconds, the damage of the next shot increases by 10/25/50%.]

[Durability: 32/40]

[Note: This bow represents the entire glory of a Windwhisper Ranger. Feel the flow of the wind, listen to the whispers of death.]

This is a +7 Gold Equipment!

This is definitely the most valuable equipment Chen Tianyou owns. Weapons are valuable in themselves, let alone a +7 enhanced gold weapon.

In addition to the astonishing increase in attack power to 17-41, the Mighty Strike Bow also has two additional bonus effects.

LV4 Enhancement Effect: Cold Blood: Passive effect. During the charged state of Powerful Shot, every 1/2/3 seconds, the Vital Strike rate of your next shot will increase by 10/20/30%.

LV7 Enhancement Effect: Chasing Wind: Passive effect. After charging up your Powerful Shot for 3 seconds, your next shot will have a knockback effect. The closer the enemy is to you when hit by the arrow, the farther they will be knocked back.

As for the accompanying accessory, the "Elf Quiver," it is the same as the quiver Bai Xiaowen obtained before, with the characteristic of "restoring 1 arrow every 10 seconds," and a maximum of 20 arrows.

The difference is that the Elf Quiver contains exquisitely carved Elf Arrows, with an additional attack power of up to 4 points, making it much more advanced than Bai Xiaowen's original Iron Quiver.

"This is a very good Gold Equipment. Its base attack power is high enough, and it also comes with a decent skill. Most importantly, it has been enhanced to +7, which increases the equipment's added value by tens of thousands of Psionic Points," Bai Xiaowen said.

The two-handed bow has a high base attack power, which is also related to the bow's rate of fire level. It is a slow attack, one level lower than the Desert Eagle's firing speed.

"This equipment is for you." Li Shuyi handed the Mighty Strike Bow along with the Elf Quiver to Bai Xiaowen.

Although Li Shuyi practiced the Advanced Shooting Specialty skill when Class Change, she only reached level 1 and did not practice it further, making it difficult for her to unleash the full power of this weapon.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "It's not very suitable for me either. Equipping this bow means I have to give up the Whispering Grimoire off-hand weapon and the Desert Eagle as my main-hand weapon. Losing 3 points of maximum Divine Might and losing the Whispering skill, which has a relatively high randomness, is secondary. The Desert Eagle's Rapid Fire skill is irreplaceable."

Bai Xiaowen possesses the Blood Essence Stone's Killing Thirst skill, meaning he has a high need for attack speed. This Mighty Strike Bow is like Snipe rifle, dealing high damage per hit, but its attack speed is much slower than the Desert Eagle.

After careful consideration, Bai Xiaowen added, "However, sometimes this equipment can be surprisingly effective. When the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, the first arrow of a sneak attack is quite powerful. After entering combat, it's also possible to spend a little time switching equipment."

Regardless, this piece of equipment is very valuable. Li Shuyi's frustration from not getting good items in the previous draws vanished, and she revealed a happy smile.

Back at Taoran Residence near Jinghai University, Li Shuyi rolled up her sleeves and began cleaning. After more than a month of not having lived there, Taoran Residence had accumulated a thin layer of dust.

Bai Xiaowen offered to help, but Li Shuyi refused. She felt that Bai Xiaowen was too busy and wouldn't let Bai Xiaowen do such a small thing.

Bai Xiaowen first logged into the Virtual Battle Platform to check on the operation of the virtual shops.

The shop that used to "The More Knives, the More Victims" has now reached a credit rating of B2, on par with the "Fully Armed" shop across the street. The size of the shop is several times larger than before.

Owning a shop of this size in the Virtual Hall is like owning a golden goose. Even if Bai Xiaowen doesn't have a source of goods, he can sell exhibition space, just like opening a shop in a large shopping mall, and rent out the exhibition space to other Awakened who need to sell their goods but lack a high-credit-rating shop.

You can collect rent (Psionic Points) without doing anything. Of course, this rental method also has risks. If the Awakened who rents the stall engages in malicious violations, such as not shipping orders or canceling orders at will, it will lower the shop's credit score and damage the shop's reputation.

For this reason, Bai Xiaowen has not yet rented out any shop space. The More Knives, the More Victims shops, mainly selling rough-quality beginner equipment (Bind on Equip), with the slogan "Wholeheartedly serving Quasi-Awakened and contributing to the evolution of humanity on Earth"...

Just because it's not for external use doesn't mean it can't be rented out internally. Previously, with Bai Xiaowen's signature, the More Knives, the More Victims Shop and the Super God Guild signed an agreement. The Super God Guild could consign their psionic items to the booth here for sale. The rental fee wasn't particularly high, but what Bai Xiaowen valued was that the guild wouldn't cheat him on his credit score, and every successful transaction would help him increase his points.

Li Beihai once lamented that with the decline of the Super God Guild, the former guild shop had also fallen to a C-Tier shop, with customer traffic that was incomparable to Bai Xiaowen's shop.

This also demonstrates Bai Xiaowen's meteoric rise. In less than a year, Bai Xiaowen has achieved such success, which he earned through countless life-and-death experiences in the Spirit Realm.

Li Beihai gradually came to accept Bai Xiaowen's way of doing things. When he had a 70% chance of success, he dared to go all in, relying on his intelligence to win back the remaining 30% chance of success. This kind of gambling approach could bring substantial profits if successful, and if he continued to succeed, it would snowball into an astonishing amount of wealth.

Bai Xiaowen walked into his shop and was surprised to find Zhang Bo there, not the robot minding the store. He suddenly realized that it was afternoon, the time when Zhang Bo was confirming orders and preparing to ship them.

"Hi." Bai Xiaowen walked up to Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo didn't look up, continuing to copy down the order and address while saying, "Sorry, I'm not the boss, just an employee... No matter how much you tell me, I don't have the authority to lower the price... Uh, boss?"

Zhang Bo used to call him "Master Brother," but now he's even calling him "Boss."

"Brother Zhang, how's business at the store lately?"

Zhang Bo said with a smile, "Several thousand Psionic Points in sales every day, I can only say it's excellent... After the New Year, sales dropped a bit, but now it's still maintaining around two or three thousand Psionic Points."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "The market for low-end equipment will eventually become saturated. We can only develop the market around Jinghai City. We can't reach markets that are too far away, and no matter how low the price is, buyers will be scared off by the expensive shipping costs."

Zhang Bo nodded. "Currently, the most stable seller in the transaction records is still Rye Bread, a type of healing food; sales remain strong. Boss, when I went to the Super God Guild headquarters to pick up my order yesterday, the Rye Bread was almost sold out."

"I'll restock later," Bai Xiaowen asked again, "How's the situation at the shop across the street? Have you checked on it?"

Zhang Bo scratched his head. "I've been there a couple of times, and the shop owners weren't very polite... Their business must have shrunk a lot, at least in terms of low-quality equipment and food, which we've monopolized. As for other types of items, we accepted the consignment business from the Super God Guild, and with our advantage in customer traffic and reputation, sales are also good, which has definitely squeezed their profit margins as well."
