Han Xing had played this game before—not for long, but he knew exactly what his advantage was.

It was the SSS-rank Talent he had activated upon entering the game: God-Tier Craftsman!

This talent allowed him to never fail when crafting quest items, and it also gave a high probability of producing items of superior quality.

In this game, as long as you had the blueprints, you could craft your own class equipment.

In other words, Han Xing could now craft equipment of higher quality than what the system gave out for free!

When Han Xing chose the Hunter class, two equipment blueprints were automatically recorded: [Wooden Longbow] and [Wooden Arrow].

"A Wooden Longbow needs logs and beast sinew as materials. I don't have those right now."

"However, the method for crafting Wooden Arrows is relatively simple. I just need some branches."

With that thought, Han Xing looked at the Berry Tree behind him.

From the Berry Tree, Han Xing snapped off over a dozen branches.

[Obtained Branch*17.]

After the System Prompt ended, Han Xing took a Deep Breath, then clicked 'Craft All.'

Progress bars appeared before his eyes, each arrow taking almost a second to craft.

White light flashed in succession as arrows materialized in front of him.

[Sharpened Arrow (White)*17: Quality—Refined, Attack Power: 2~3, Attached Special Effect—Sharp.]

[Sharp: When attacking, there is a higher chance of penetrating the target's body, inflicting a Severe Wound state on the enemy.]

Even though they were still white-tier equipment, the Attack Power had clearly improved. More importantly, a special effect had actually appeared!

For context, even green-tier equipment had an extremely low chance of rolling a special effect.

And now, a few branches he had casually picked from a tree, after being enhanced by the God-Tier Craftsman talent, had turned into rare special-effect equipment!

No wonder it was an SSS-rank Talent. Truly terrifying beyond words!

Han Xing picked up one of the Wooden Arrows. Its tip was polished smooth, almost as if it had been buffed.

A quiver could hold up to thirty arrows at most. If he could obtain a spatial-type item later, he would be able to carry even more.

After loading all seventeen arrows he had just crafted into the quiver, the weight at his waist gave him a bit more confidence.

He set his sights on a cloud of faint green light not far away. After advancing for over ten minutes, the sky gradually darkened.

Han Xing looked up at the sky and muttered, "Does it have day and night here too?"

Shaking his head, he put that thought aside for now. He needed to focus all his attention on the cloud ahead.

When he was less than a meter away from the cloud, a System Prompt came: "A shapeless elemental force seems to be active inside. Enter?"

Han Xing took a Deep Breath, Drew Out a Sharpened Arrow from his quiver, nocked it, and pulled back the bowstring!

With the bowstring drawn taut, Han Xing was ready to attack.

He clicked 'Enter.'

As the cloud dissipated, a transparent, ball-shaped Slime bounced up and down in front of him.

[Slime (One-Star Creature)]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 6, Agility: 3, Spirit: 4, Constitution: 5]

[Skill: Spit.]

Whoosh!

The moment he saw the Slime, Han Xing fired the arrow in his hand.

The Wooden Arrow tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound and stabbed fiercely into the Slime's jelly-like body.

Suddenly attacked, the Slime seemed startled and bounced several meters into the air.

Han Xing didn't hesitate. His second arrow followed immediately, hitting the enemy with precision.

After taking two arrows in a row, the Slime finally reacted.

It seemed extremely angry. Its Mouth opened, and a shapeless elemental force began to gather inside.

But before it could launch its attack, a third arrow was already on its way.

Pfft!

This arrow seemed to trigger a special effect. The Sharpened Arrow, after hitting the Slime, didn't lose momentum and drilled straight into its body.

It was the Sharp special effect from the Sharpened Arrow!

The Slime's gathered attack froze mid-air, and then its body began to tremble uncontrollably.

With a wet splat, the Slime's body suddenly burst open, transparent slime scattering like fireworks.

Han Xing instinctively stepped back two paces, still shaking a clump of glue-like viscous liquid off his hand. Some of the slime had even splattered onto his face.

"Ptoo, ptoo! What the hell is this, so damn disgusting!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Successfully killed Slime lv1. Your level has increased.]

[Current level: lv1.]

Before Han Xing could react, the system's cold announcement echoed in his ears.

"Announcement: The first player in this area to kill a Sky Island Monster has appeared. Area channel has been opened."

"Based on region, every ten thousand players will be assigned to the same area. Current players can communicate and trade in the area channel to gain more survival opportunities."

Opening the panel, Han Xing found himself assigned to District 107's area channel.

However, just as he was about to enter the area channel, the system's voice sounded again in his ears.

"As the first player in this area to kill a Sky Island Monster, you have received the First Kill Reward: Spirit Core*50, Space Backpack (White)*1, Space Backpack Blueprint (White)*1."

[Space Backpack (White): Quality—Common. Storage space +20. Attached effect—None.]

"Holy crap, it's a space-type item!" Han Xing couldn't help but exclaim.

Twenty slots of storage space. Han Xing tested it—he put in thirty arrows, and they only filled one storage unit.

In other words, if he filled it entirely with arrows, he could carry six hundred arrows on him!

That wasn't even the most crucial part. The most crucial part was that he also had the blueprint for making Space Backpacks.

[Space Backpack Blueprint (White)]

[Crafting requirements: One-Star Beast Hide*1, Spirit Core*10, Aether*20]

[Crafting success rate: 20% (Boosted by God-Tier Craftsman talent, success rate has reached 100%)]

"As expected, the success rate is still one hundred percent!"

"Doesn't this mean I can mass-produce Space Backpacks and then trade them with other players?"

Space Backpacks were extremely valuable. Even though Han Xing had played on his phone for a long time, he had never come across two of them.

If something like this appeared on the Trading Channel, it would definitely spark a frenzy among players!

But he also knew that now wasn't the time.

In the early stages of the game, what everyone lacked most were still the two resources: food and water.

Even if Space Backpacks appeared, they wouldn't be able to afford them.

Han Xing entered District 107's area channel, and a system prompt appeared.

[Use default name 'Han Xing' to enter the area channel?]

"No."

Han Xing directly declined, then changed his name in the area channel's personal information to "Xinghe."

The area channel had only been open for a short while, but the chat section was already flooded with thousands of messages. This was District 107—messages sent by tens of thousands of humans!
