Earlier, during the first 10-minute trade session, Han Xing used 37 liters of spirit spring water to exchange for tens of thousands of materials. Now, after two hours of trading, he had used up more than 400 liters of spirit spring water.
This shows just how much material and how many spirit cores he had stockpiled!
"This round was a massive win!" Han Xing excitedly stood up.
The materials, especially rare earth and ether, were particularly valuable. As special materials, they would be widely used in the future for making large-scale engineering tools and magical devices.
More importantly, there were the spirit cores.
Han Xing had already discovered that the stronger the equipment he wanted to make, the more spirit cores were required. Spirit cores had a wide range of applications.
After reviewing all the materials, Han Xing turned his attention to the 17 skill books he had collected.
Among them, there were five for the rogue class, covering basic skills like Stealth, Backstab, and Throat Slash.
For warriors, there were four books, including Charge, Aerial Strike, and Horizontal Slash.
The holy class had books for Holy Strike, Holy Light Ball, and Purification skills.
As for the mage class, he had learned Ice Arrow, Fireball, Wind Blade, and Lightning Strike — all essential damage-dealing skills for mages.
The ones Han Xing was most excited about were the three skill books for the hunter class.
1. Wind-Chasing Arrow: Fires a high-speed arrow that deals 130% damage to the enemy.
2. Multi-Shot: Fires five arrows in quick succession, each dealing 80% damage.
3. Roll: Allows a quick roll during combat.
"Perfect!" Han Xing clenched his fist. "Now, except for 'Weak Point Strike,' I've gathered all the basic hunter skills before class advancement."
Next, there were a bunch of blueprints. Han Xing, not wanting to look at them one by one, learned them all in one go.
Since none of the blueprints were duplicates, they were all new to him.
Blueprints included items like Leather Boots, Leather Shorts, Traveler's Ring, and Warrior's Pendant...
Since leather armor provided the most agility, it was the top choice for hunters and rogues. Han Xing set aside the items he could use, ignoring green cloth armor, light armor, and iron heavy armor, which were less useful to him.
Now, except for missing a helmet and gloves, he almost had a full set of one-star green equipment!
With an abundance of materials, Han Xing easily crafted seven or eight sets of gear.
After discarding some of the high-quality green gear, only the rare-grade items were left.
In total, there were four pieces of rare green gear:
1. Leather Shorts (Green, Rare): Defense 2~4, Agility +3, with the effect of basic magic resistance.
2. Leather Boots (Green, Rare): Defense 1~2, Agility +6, with the active effect of Sprint (Increases running speed by 50% for 10 seconds).
3. Warrior's Pendant (Green, Rare): Strength +6, Constitution +2, with the effect of Warrior's Roar (When attacked, there's a 50% chance to trigger Warrior's Roar, increasing attack power by 10% for 10 seconds).
4. Traveler's Ring (Green, Rare): Strength +2, Agility +2, Spirit +2, Constitution +2, with a unique effect.
Han Xing equipped all these items, significantly boosting his stats.
His stats panel changed:
Name: Han Xing
Race: Human
Class: Hunter
Level: LV2
Strength: 6 + 9 (Warrior's Pendant +6, Traveler's Ring +2, Leather Coat +1)
Agility: 6 + 15 (Space Backpack +4, Leather Boots +6, Leather Shorts +3, Traveler's Ring +2)
Spirit: 5 + 2 (Traveler's Ring +2)
Constitution: 8 + 8 (Space Backpack +4, Warrior's Pendant +2, Traveler's Ring +2)
Skills: Basic Archery Mastery, Double Arrow, Wind-Chasing Arrow, Multi-Shot, Roll
Talent: God-Level Craftsman (SSS)
Looking at his stats, Han Xing couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm so strong!"
At this point, Han Xing's equipment made him one of the most formidable survivors.
His stats were strong enough to crush other Level 5 survivors.
In addition to his high stats, he had also learned three hunter skills. Coupled with the short burst of attack power from the Warrior's Pendant and the sprinting effect from his boots, his combat ability had increased dramatically.
"Next time I run into a dark elf squad, it won't be as dangerous," Han Xing thought cheerfully.
As he organized his materials, time passed quickly, and the sky began to darken.
The second day since the human survivors arrived in this world was coming to an end.
During this time, Han Xing also opened the dozens of bronze treasure chests he had collected.
Of course, bronze chests mostly contained green equipment and blueprints, with a small chance of yielding a skill book. Han Xing didn't lack these things anymore.
He dumped everything he got from the chests into his storage.
Looking at the darkening sky, Han Xing thought for a moment, "It's getting late, so I won't explore any more floating islands today. Balancing work and rest is important."
Han Xing wasn't in a hurry. He flipped open a book he had just acquired titled "Complete Guide to Furniture Crafting".
"It's time to start making furniture!"
Han Xing used the guide to craft a bed, pillow, and blanket for himself. He also made a few chairs, a table, torch stands, a barbecue rack, a bonfire stove, and other furniture.
The 66-square-meter platform was not small, providing enough space for him to arrange these facilities.
The once empty territory now felt a bit more like home.
He placed four torch stands, each a meter high, at the four corners of his territory. On top of each stand, he placed a Dark Fire Stone, which flickered with warm light.
Han Xing checked the progress of the beast egg's incubation. The system displayed:
[Incubation in progress. Time remaining: 94 hours, 47 minutes, and 32 seconds...]
There were still 94 hours to go.
With a glance, Han Xing stopped paying attention to it and comfortably lay down on his bed, gazing at the stars before falling asleep.

The next day.
A system announcement abruptly woke all the survivors from their sleep.
"Announcement: The number of Level 2 survivors in certain regional channels has surpassed 1,000. The Territory Leaderboard is now open!"
"Territory Leaderboard: Survivors will earn 1 point for every cubic meter of territory expansion. The top 100 survivors in each region to reach 1,000 points will receive ranking rewards."
Meanwhile, survivors scattered across different regions began to voice their confusion.
"Territory Leaderboard? There are already 1,000 Level 2 survivors?"
"Which region progressed this fast?"
At that moment, those in Region 107 were asking the same question.
But they soon found out.
"Announcement: In Region 107, 1,000 survivors have reached Level 2. You have been granted the 'Heroic Struggle' status effect."
**[Heroic Struggle: While the leaderboard is active, all survivor stats increase by 10%.]**
"Whoa! It's us in Region 107!"
"You guys are insane! We're the first across the server!"
"Unbelievable!"
