Grinding Traits

Actually, this wasn't a bad thing for players. Being able to choose traits meant there were far fewer limitations on the skills they could create.

"What trait should I grind for?"

Xiao Fan thought it over.

By then, the sun had fully risen above the horizon. Golden sunlight poured down, falling on Xiao Fan and wrapping him in a hazy glow.

"The sun, the moon!"

Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Whether in folklore or mythology, the sun and the moon were both associated with gods.

The sun was a radiant creator, stirring life into being with its boundless passion; the moon was a serene, profound guardian, banishing darkness with its subtle glow.

If he could grind for these two traits, he'd be able to create all sorts of skills.

He could cover everything from damage-dealing and healing skills to survival and support skills.

"Those are the ones!"

Xiao Fan said excitedly.

"But how do I grind for those traits?"

"Should I try watching the sun for an hour every day, then the moon for an hour? Either one of those traits would be great."

He decided to do it!

Xiao Fan had planned to head back and get some rest, but now he decided to watch the sun for an hour first.

With that in mind, Xiao Fan leaned against a nearby wall, tilted his head up, and began gazing at the sun.

An hour later.

The sunlight had made him a little dizzy. It felt as if his head were about to burst, and he could barely see where he was going when he looked down.

And this was when the morning sun wasn't even that strong.

"This trait is fucking hard to grind for."

Xiao Fan stood up, but suddenly felt dizzy and staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

He braced himself against the wall and swayed his way toward his room, completely unaware that the Black-Clad Girl nearby had been watching him the whole time. She watched him walk away, looking thoughtful.

She had seen everything that happened last night. She had thought Zone 18 was going to fall, but she hadn't expected them to hold their ground.

The moment when their health bars were exchanged had left her completely stunned.

She had never seen a skill like that, not even in Zone 1, where prodigies were a dime a dozen.

It was hard to imagine that a player in Zone 18 could create such a powerful Heaven-Tier Skill.

Thinking back to Xiao Fan gazing up at the sky for an hour, the Black-Clad Girl furrowed her lovely brows and looked up at the sun.

"Why is he watching the sun? Could there be some secret to it?"

"Can watching the sun help someone create a Heaven-Tier Skill?"

The Black-Clad Girl looked up at the sun.

Hmm, it was a bit dazzling.

Over the next few days, the Black-Clad Girl noticed that Xiao Fan watched the moon as well as the sun.

He did it for an hour at the same time every day, which convinced her even more that watching the sun and moon had something to do with his creating a Heaven-Tier Skill.

So, in the mornings, after everyone had gone out hunting, and at night, after everyone had gone to sleep, the Black-Clad Girl quietly copied Xiao Fan, gazing at the sun and the moon.

But that's a story for later.

After Xiao Fan returned to his rented room, he sat down and opened the game interface.

The equipment tab in the lower right corner was now lit up.

After reaching level five, players could craft their own game equipment and items.

Xiao Fan hadn't bought a beginner's weapon before because he couldn't afford one. Now that he had money, he planned to make one for himself.

He couldn't keep going around empty-handed.

He carefully read through the equipment and item creation instructions.

It was very simple. Players could create equipment and items based on their imagination.

As long as they fit the game's settings, they would be created successfully.

The amount of Core Power consumed depended on how powerful the equipment was.
