Han Xing traded his extra backpack with them.
Cheng Jianyong: "Whoa, a space backpack! And it has special attributes!"
Shen Yun: "Brother Xing, this thing is too valuable, you..."
Before Shen Yun could finish, Han Xing interrupted, saying, "Shh, make sure not to tell anyone."
Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun solemnly agreed. They understood how ridiculous it was for a space backpack with special effects to appear at this moment.
After closing the discussion group, Han Xing looked at the fourth blueprint in the crafting menu, unable to suppress the grin on his face.
He had just mentioned needing a handy weapon, and Cheng Jianyong had found one for him almost immediately. This was beyond lucky, it was like finishing a meal at Wallace's and then finding a restroom right when you needed it!
Excited, Han Xing opened the blueprint menu.
[Refined Iron Longbow Blueprint (Green)]
[Required materials: Refined Iron*15, Spirit Core*5, Rare Earth*20, One-star Beast Tendon*1.]
[Success rate: 20% (due to the 'Divine Craftsman' talent, success rate is now 100%).]
"A hunter's main weapon and it's green quality too! This is awesome!"
Han Xing was overjoyed, almost wanting to craft it on the spot.
However, he didn't have enough materials at the moment, especially missing rare earth and a one-star beast tendon.
But that wasn't a problem—he could go to the trading channel.
After browsing for a bit, Han Xing quickly found what he needed and began bargaining skillfully.
Due to the recent commotion from the previous sale, the name 'Xinghe' was already well-known among many survivors in Channel 107.
The negotiation process went smoothly.
Using only 1 kilogram of wolf meat, Han Xing exchanged for two one-star beast tendons, and with another kilogram of wolf meat, he acquired 47 units of rare earth.
He now had enough materials to craft two refined iron longbows.
Han Xing opened the blueprint menu and started crafting.
A green light flashed, and a 30-second progress bar appeared before him.
When the progress bar filled, a longbow with a black refined iron body, over a meter long, appeared in his territory.
The item details appeared.
[Refined Iron Longbow (Green), Quality: Fine, Attack: 15~20, Special Effect: Power Shot]
[Power Shot: When fully drawing the bowstring, charge time maxes out at 1 second, dealing an additional 30%~50% damage.]
"So strong!"
Han Xing couldn't help but praise, "As expected from a green weapon. The attack power alone is more than double that of a white weapon, not to mention the special effect. I feel like I could one-shot level 1 monsters with this!"
Pleased with the result, Han Xing had a sudden thought.
"From my past experience, green weapon blueprints can potentially produce rare-quality gear. Since this main weapon turned out to be fine quality, there might be room for improvement."
Looking at the remaining materials in his bag, Han Xing hesitated for a moment, then clicked to craft again.
This was his advantage—he didn't need to worry about failure or about crafting poor-quality or common junk weapons, wasting materials.
This time, as soon as the crafting began, a dazzling green light appeared.
As the progress bar advanced, the light grew even more intense.
"Hm? Such a big reaction... could it be...?"
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, *thud!* A weapon dropped in front of Han Xing.
[Refined Iron Longbow (Green), Quality: Rare, Attack: 20~25, Special Effect: Power Shot, Special Effect 2: Precision]
[Power Shot: When fully drawing the bowstring, charge time maxes out at 1 second, dealing an additional 30%~50% damage.]
[Precision: Increases accuracy by 10% and critical hit rate by 20%.]
"Rare quality!"
At that moment, Han Xing's heart skipped a beat.
The stats of this refined iron longbow were just too powerful!
High attack power, along with two special effects. Even a typical blue-grade weapon couldn't match this refined iron longbow's attributes.
Without hesitation, Han Xing equipped the rare-quality refined iron longbow, boosting his damage output significantly.
With the longbow on his back, it gave off a sense of stability and menace. The curved bow and taut string radiated immense power and lethal potential.
Compared to a few hours ago, Han Xing had completely transformed—his strength had dramatically improved.
He casually hung his old wooden longbow in the consignment channel and listed the other refined iron longbow as well.
Although it wasn't as strong as the one he wielded, its powerful attributes still caused a stir among the hunters.
However, since Han Xing set the trading condition as a green equipment blueprint, no one was able to trade for it yet.
At this moment, Han Xing glanced up at the sky.
The moonlight was faint and cold.
"It's almost deep into the night. I'll explore a few more floating islands before I rest," Han Xing thought.
In this world, although human physique had improved, people still needed rest. Plus, exploring the islands at night was more dangerous than during the day.
With that in mind, Han Xing picked up the pace.
As he approached a cloud only two cubic meters in size, the system prompt came up: "You hear the sound of wind... do you want to enter?"
He entered and found a patch of green bellflowers, which he harvested into his bag.
[You have obtained Bellflower*23, territory area expanded...]
"You hear an echo... do you want to enter?"
He entered.
[You have obtained Amplifying Stone*3, territory area expanded...]
…
[You have obtained One-star Beast Hide*1, Rare Earth*3, Flash Stone*7...]
Without stopping, Han Xing explored four or five smaller clouds nearby.
Along the way, he encountered three monsters, but with their level 1 stats, they were no match for him. Each was felled with a single arrow!
Han Xing completely dominated with his powerful equipment.
At the same time, his territory expanded rapidly.
After a full day of exploration, the small patch of land beneath his feet had now grown into a 4-meter by 4-meter platform, a full 16 square meters!
"Phew…"
Han Xing exhaled, looking around and realizing that he had explored all the smaller clouds in the nearby area.
Now, only one cloud remained, not far away, emitting a faint red glow.
This cloud was slightly larger than the others, about 2 meters by 2 meters, roughly 4 square meters in size.
When he first arrived in this world, Han Xing had deliberately avoided it because he sensed a hint of danger from the cloud.
But now, he felt ready to explore it.
After taking a few gulps of water from his bag and eating three berries from a tree, Han Xing prepared to approach the glowing cloud.
Moments later, the system prompt appeared: "You sense intense heat inside... do you want to enter?"
"Intense heat? Could there be a fire source inside?"
Han Xing felt a surge of anticipation.
In the early stages of the floating island survival game, fire sources, while not as scarce as food and water, were still essential.
Whether for cooking or warmth, they were incredibly useful.
With that in mind, Han Xing clicked to enter.
The next second, a round, fiery-red creature bounced into view.
[Flame Slime (One-star Creature)]
[Level: LV2]
[Strength: 9, Agility: 5, Spirit: 7, Constitution: 6]
[Skill: Fireball Spray]
