The Purpose of the Items

After explaining the game's storyline to everyone, Xiao Fan returned to his thatched hut.

He plopped down on the bed and stretched out the hand he had been holding.

The palm was opened, revealing two transparent crystals, each the size of a marble, one white and one green, sparkling brightly.

The rewards for this serendipitous encounter are Life Space Stone and Life Crystal.

Xiao Fan checked the information about the Life Crystal.

Life Crystal: A natural mineral formed in regions with abundant life force. It is often used as a creation material for skills at the God Rank and above, as well as for weapon creation. It also has special and mysterious uses.

Swish!

Xiao Fan suddenly stood up from the bed, his hands trembling as he held the Life Crystal.

What did he see?

Do skills of God Rank or higher require materials to create?

Wrong!

That's not the point!

The key point is that there are even higher-level skills above the God Rank!!

I thought God-Tier Skill were invincible, but it turns out this isn't even the most awesome one.

Xiao Fan carefully put away the Life Crystal. He doesn't have any skills above the God Rank now, but that doesn't mean he won't in the future.

Xiao Fan then examined the Life Space Stone.

Life Space Stone: A perfect fusion of life and space elements, it can be used to create containers to hold Life Space and also has special and mysterious functions.

Space container!

Isn't that just a game backpack or Space Ring?

When Xiao Fan first entered the Cloud Sea, he was curious why the game didn't have a backpack and why players had to carry travel gear.

So this thing has to be created from scratch, and it seems quite difficult.

Both Life Crystal and Life Space Stone are said to have special and mysterious effects.

"I wonder what mysterious effect it will have."

As Xiao Fan learned more about the game, he discovered that <Cloud Sea> was not as sparse in content as he had initially thought.

This game involves a lot of content, but without guidance, players discover very little of it.

Xiao Fan looked at the Life Space Stone.

"How about we try getting Space Ring?"

He really needs this thing right now, but seeing its mysterious effects, Xiao Fan is conflicted again.

What if this mysterious effect is even better than the Space Ring?

"Why don't we leave it here? Anyway, in Zone 18, nobody dares to touch my things."

Having figured this out, Xiao Fan stopped worrying about it.

With the return to reality just around the corner, he still owes Zhou He two Heaven-Tier Skill books.

Exchanging five Heaven-Tier Skill books for a clue to the Resurrection Art seems like a loss on the surface, but it's not actually a gain either.

But ever since he learned that there are even higher levels of skills above the God Rank, Xiao Fan felt that the Heaven-Tier Skill weren't so great after all.

His goal is to reach at least the God Rank!

However, a resurrection skill is essential for him; he absolutely needs it.

For the next week, Xiao Fan created skill books every day, selling even the lower-grade Earth Rank and Mystic Rank books to players in the Zone 18, earning a considerable amount of Core Power.

The day before he was to quit the game, Xiao Fan finally finished creating the five skill books.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't!"

Looking at the skill activation message sent by Jian Qingfeng, Xiao Fan lost the courage to recover.

Two hundred million Core Power, doesn't he want to earn that? He's really done for.

Xiao Fan originally thought that with his experience playing games on Earth, creating a skill would be a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, the success rate of skill books was too low, and he had to make repeated modifications and adjustments before he could succeed, which was very time-consuming.

However, thinking about returning to reality tomorrow and obtaining clues about the Resurrection Art the day after, Xiao Fan felt it was all worth it.

Before going to sleep, Xiao Fan received a message from Qin Muyu, saying that he would contact him again when he returned to reality.

After responding, Xiao Fan activated the skill <Thousand-Faced One> and used the information from the Taichu Beginning to make another agreement with Zhou He before finally going to sleep.

Early the next morning, the players in Zone 18 prepared to log out of the game and return to reality.

After two years of gaming experience, players in Zone 18 have undergone a complete transformation.

Originally, they were just the worst students who were rejected by the college entrance examination. They entered the game only to obtain attribute points, strengthen their bodies, find a job in reality, and live an ordinary life.

But now, everyone's goals have changed.

They are no longer just trash with only Yellow Rank Skill Chain and terrible gaming talent; now they have higher-level skills, know more combat techniques, and have learned how to allocate skill points.

This game isn't entirely out of the question; you could give it a try!

Everyone's energy and spirit look different now.

And all of this was brought to them by Xiao Fan!

"Brother Chen!" Everyone looked at Xiao Fan with respect when he came out.

Xiao Fan waved his hand. "See you in three days."

Ding! Player has temporarily logged out of <Cloud Sea>. Do you wish to materialize attribute points?

"Yes."

"You have not added any attribute points, so you cannot materialize it."

Xiao Fan:... Alright then.

He hasn't allocated any of his Free Attribute Point after the upgrade.

Ding! Player has temporarily logged out of <Cloud Sea>. Do you wish to materialize your skill?

"Yes."

Please select the skill to manifest.

"Thousand-Faced One, <The Sun and Moon Rotation>"

Considering that he would be trading at the Triangle Auction House, Xiao Fan chose a damage skill and a disguise skill, both of which were what he needed at the moment.

Ding! <Sun and Moon Rotation> detected. Thousand-Faced One are Heaven-Tier Skill, requiring 20 million Core Power to materialize. Pay now?

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth. "Yes!"

Ding! Skill successfully materialized.

Ding! Player temporarily logged out of <Cloud Sea>. Do you wish to materialize the skill book?

"Yes."

Please select the skill book to manifest.

Xiao Fan selected the five Heaven-Tier Skill books he had prepared.

As it turned out, Qin Muyu was right. The manifestation of skill books was not as expensive as Xiao Fan had imagined. Each book only cost one million Core Power, and Xiao Fan paid five million with tears in his eyes.

It cost him 25 million Core Power to appear in reality once.

It's really inexpensive.

There weren't many people at the Cloud Sea Login Administration this time, and Xiao Fan saw quite a few old classmates.

Perhaps because of what happened at school last time, these classmates didn't even greet him when they saw him, and pretended not to know him as they left.

"Ugh, we're all classmates, why are you so shy?" Xiao Fan rolled his eyes.

When the fat man came out, the two of them walked outside together.

Back in the familiar house.

My younger cousins are all in class at this time, and my aunt has gone out to buy groceries, so only my uncle Xiao Yi is home alone.

Seeing that his uncle was in good spirits, Xiao Fan felt much relieved.

You know what, money is still the best way to nourish a person.

Without the worries of making a living or the fear of his house collapsing at any moment, my uncle is in a very relaxed state.

Except for his legs.

In fact, Xiao Fan had tried to create a skill book that allowed severed fingers to regenerate, but he failed each time.

The only option is to try creating the skill later.

"Xiao Fan, I heard the game has a lot of new content in this update."

The two chatted about the game for a while, but Xiao Yi didn't ask Xiao Fan much about his own affairs.

In his eyes, his nephew was a top genius who had created God-Tier Skill.

Asking about his own gaming skills would be pointless; he wouldn't be of any help. He just needed to know that Xiao Fan was doing well.

After his aunt returned from grocery shopping, Xiao Yi told Xiao Fan to go back to his room and rest for a while.

"Go on, I'll call you when dinner's ready." My aunt walked into the kitchen with a smile.

Xiao Fan returned to his room, turned on his phone, and immediately received a message from Qin Muyu.

"I've already bought plane tickets to the Triangle Zone. We have to leave tonight, so you'd better get to Dragon City before 5 p. m.

Dragon City is the capital of the Dragon Nation, not far from Sea City where Xiao Fan is located. He can make it there after having lunch.

"Okay," Xiao Fan replied.
