Han Xing eagerly opened his blueprint tab.
The purple weapon blueprint, [Moon Crown Longbow], was now marked as ready to craft.
With trembling fingers, he tapped the crafting button, exclaiming, "This will be my first-ever purple-grade gear. I hope the attributes won't disappoint!"
Then, he initiated the crafting process.
A 120-second progress bar appeared.
Crafting purple-grade equipment took significantly longer than blue-grade.
Patiently waiting for two minutes, a blinding violet light suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Clang!
The next moment, a silver-white longbow dropped onto the grass.
The entire bow was a shining silver, engraved with intricate runes. Han Xing noticed five gem-like glowing stones embedded on both ends of the bow, which must be the five moon crystals.
The longbow's appearance alone was impressive, and the bowstring, as thick as a pinky finger, hinted at its immense destructive power.
Han Xing bent down and picked up the longbow, feeling its cold touch.
"A fine bow!"
He genuinely admired it. A good weapon's power can be felt just by holding it.
At the same time, the bow's attributes appeared before his eyes.
[Moon Crown Longbow (Purple) Lv6, Quality – Rare, Attack Power 75-85, Agility +10, Special Effects – Moonlight Flow, Moon's Curse]
[Moonlight Flow: When attacking, there is a 50% chance to convert 10 points of Spirit and Constitution into Agility.]
[Moon's Curse: When attacking, inflicts Moon's Curse on enemies, reducing healing effects by 10% and movement speed by 10%.]
"Moonlight Flow and Moon's Curse?"
Han Xing pondered, "The first effect, Moonlight Flow, has a chance to convert 10 points of Spirit and Constitution into Agility, meaning that when triggered, it would give me at least 20 points of Agility, translating to nearly 40 points of attack power."
"The second effect, a curse, can reduce healing—could this be combined with Coal's Void Power to further weaken enemies?"
He remembered that Coal's skill, Void Power, could suppress 60% of an enemy's healing. Paired with the Moon's Curse, that would cut healing by 70%!
Excited by this thought, Han Xing's heart raced. "This bow has really great stats!"
Its attack power alone was more than three times that of his current green bow. Plus, it added an extra 10 points to Agility, not to mention the two special effects.
Once equipped, his attack power would skyrocket.
However, upon seeing the "Rare" quality label on the attribute panel, Han Xing had another idea.
"Purple equipment can be crafted at Legendary quality. Though the odds are low, I still have enough materials to make three more Moon Crown Longbows."
His eyes lit up. "It's worth a shot!"
With that in mind, he resumed crafting.
Four minutes later.
Clang!
Clang!
Two more Moon Crown Longbows were crafted, but both were of Rare quality.
It seemed that the probability of crafting a Legendary item was much lower.
Then again, it made sense.
Most purple gear was typically of Rare quality, and even Rare-grade gear was extremely uncommon.
As for Legendary-grade purple gear, it was likely that no one in this world had ever seen two pieces of it.
Only a true grandmaster craftsman could forge such extraordinary gear!
Han Xing glanced at the blueprint interface and said, "Now, I only have enough materials for one more try. Let's give it a shot."
He clicked the crafting button.
However, just as he did so—
A blinding violet pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky.
Han Xing even saw this violet light extend several hundred meters into the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds purple—a massive spectacle!
When this event occurred, Han Xing knew right away that it was likely a success.
This time, the Moon Crown Longbow crafted might just be of Legendary quality!
With anticipation, the 120 seconds quickly passed.
Han Xing once again saw a silver-white longbow appear, but this time, the bow shimmered with tiny starlights, adding an even more mysterious and beautiful aura.
He bent down to pick it up, and the attributes appeared before his eyes.
[Moon Crown Longbow (Purple) Lv6, Quality – Legendary, Attack Power 101-113, Agility +15, Special Effects – Moonlight Flow, Moon's Curse, Dark Moon Descend (Legendary Special Effect)]
[Dark Moon Descend (Legendary Special Effect): After the survivor using the Moon Crown Longbow kills five enemies in succession, Dark Moon Descend will be triggered! A black moon will rise overhead, and while within its aura, the survivor's attack speed increases by 50%, and allies' attack speed increases by 30%. This effect lasts for 20 seconds. When Dark Moon Descend ends, the moon will automatically explode, dealing 300% of the user's Agility as damage to surrounding enemies!]
"Holy sh*t!"
Han Xing was utterly shocked after reading the description of the final special effect.
"A 50% attack speed boost that also benefits allies, and it ends with an AoE attack! Is this what a Legendary special effect is like? Insanely powerful!"
Overjoyed, Han Xing quickly picked up the bow and exclaimed, "With these attributes, this longbow could easily outclass any gold-grade gear!"
He wasn't wrong. Gold-grade gear of the same level was only about 20% stronger than purple gear, but the leap from Rare to Legendary quality was far beyond a mere 20%.
And with that Legendary special effect, this Moon Crown Longbow could easily overpower any gold-grade gear at the same level.
At that moment, the silver-white longbow radiated a soft moonlight.
Han Xing had a feeling that the Moon Crown Longbow, with its Dark Moon Descend Legendary special effect, had now reached its true, complete form.
Without hesitation, Han Xing equipped the Legendary Moon Crown Longbow, slipped the Strength Ring onto his other hand, and replaced his old snakeskin coat with a yellowish hide armor made from a fierce beast.
In an instant, his stats surged dramatically.
He glanced at his personal status panel.
[Name: Han Xing]
[Race: Human]
[Class: Hunter]
[Level: Lv6]
[Strength: 10+20 (Warrior Pendant +6, Traveler's Ring +2, Strength Ring +12), Agility: 15+32 (Space Backpack +4, Beast Leather Boots +6, Traveler's Ring +2, Fierce Beast Armor +5, Moon Crown Longbow +15), Spirit: 9+8 (Traveler's Ring +2, Warrior Pendant +1, Spirit +5), Constitution: 12+13 (Space Backpack +4, Warrior Pendant +2, Traveler's Ring +2, Fierce Beast Armor +5)]
Note: Survivors can wear up to two rings and one necklace simultaneously.
"With these stats, even those elite monsters at Level 5 won't be a match for me!"
Looking at his status panel, Han Xing felt ecstatic. "I'm freakin' unstoppable!"
The jump from Level 5 to Level 6 was a huge turning point, and his stat boost was insane!
Meanwhile, Coal's stats had also significantly increased after reaching Level 5.
Its Agility had broken past 30, and with Void Blink's 200% speed boost, even Han Xing couldn't keep up with it anymore.
With his newfound power, Han Xing decided to explore the nearby floating islands.
Not far ahead, he spotted a cloud about a hundred square meters in size.
Han Xing steered his territory closer.
A system notification popped up: "A group of shadowy cave-dwelling creatures has gathered inside. There are many of them. Do you wish to enter?"
"Cave-dwellers? A new species?"
Curious, Han Xing clicked "Enter."
