A replica crafted in imitation of the Sakasi Empire's Great Sun Divine Bow.

Enchantment Two: Insect Attraction, greatly attracts insects.
Enchantment Three: Conjures a physical arrow every 2 seconds.

Zhou Heng's face lit up with joy. This bow had no class or level requirements, only needing a minimum attack of 10 points to use.
Without hesitation, Zhou Heng equipped the Great Sun Divine Bow (Replica).
Instantly, his attack range soared from 16-32 to 46-92.
Level 1, with a physical attack cap of 92—what a concept.
Zhou Heng didn't know exactly what this meant, but he knew his leveling journey would be much faster from now on.
"Next, it's the unknown ceramic shard."
Ceramic Shard (Unknown)
Quality: Unknown
It seems to be just a fragment of broken ceramic. If sold, perhaps an ignorant child might offer 1 Copper Coin for it.
The unknown is always worth keeping, as textbooks often say.
Without further ado, Zhou Heng carefully stored the ceramic shard in the last slot of his Brilliant Backpack.
Having done all this, Zhou Heng began his grand endeavor of skill upgrading.
With 1,000 Minor Mana Potions and 5,000 Minor Mana Recovery Potions, he was determined to evolve the "Burning Fury" skill.
No sooner said than done, Zhou Heng downed a Minor Mana Recovery Potion, cast Flame Gloves, and began absorbing Blazefire.

[Flame Gloves undergoes change]
[Change failed]
...
Seeing the repeated prompts on his retina, Zhou Heng remained undeterred, continuing to absorb Blazefire.
Soon, as daylight broke, the Flame Gloves finally underwent a change.
[You absorb Blazefire, Flame Gloves undergoes change, it evolves on its own]
[You acquire "Flame Gloves" (Simple++)]

Seeing the enhanced "Flame Gloves" skill, Zhou Heng chose not to continue absorbing and evolving. His health bar was nearly depleted, and he needed to return to Little Bird Town to purchase enough Health Potions.
Otherwise, his first death might be wasted in the Blazefire Spring.
After spending a little while, Zhou Heng returned to Little Bird Town, only to hear players coming and going, discussing fervently.
"Did you hear? Last night, the Black Bear Guild was attacked, and it seems the attackers were from the Sword of Light."
"I heard my cousin mention this force. They've suddenly risen in various places recently, not even making it into the textbooks yet."
"You're behind the times. The latest news is that the Black Bear Guild's vice president, Black Bear Ba, is furious and has ordered a hunt for the three stolen precious items and the Brilliant Backpack."
"Damn, if I'd known, I would've gone to steal last night too. With so many guild mechanisms lost, they can't even trace who did it."
"Do they even need to trace? It must've been taken by the Sword of Light people."
"Although many guild authorities are lost, the guild log still has some use. I heard it shows that a guild member took these resources. Black Bear Ba has been waiting for them to return the items, but no one has come forward, so now he's starting a thorough investigation."
Zhou Heng, heading to the general store, couldn't help but smile at the players' discussions.
There are many theories about the loss of guild authority. The most notable are two: one, that the Longevity Family was annihilated, leaving the guild incomplete; two, that the Guild Heart is the core of all guilds, and without it, many guild functions can't be activated, but no one knows where it went.
Due to the massive loss of guild authority, they couldn't even use the "guild log" to check their members' actions, allowing Zhou Heng to fleece the Black Bear Guild without fear. As for tracing it back to him, it could certainly be done, but it would take longer than the corruption of the Deepwater Glue Worm, and who knows how the situation would change by then. The Black Bear Guild might not have time to deal with him. Besides, he had the Fate Hint. If it ever came to the point of being caught, he believed the Fate Hint would surely give him a warning.
With these thoughts, Zhou Heng walked towards the general store.
The store owner was a voluptuous woman with a curvaceous figure, wearing a low-cut dress, often resting her chin on her hand at the counter.
"Young man, what do you need to buy?"
"Mana Potions or Health Potions, or anything else, as long as you can pay the price, big sister has it all~"
The voluptuous woman teased as Zhou Heng approached, quite familiar with her seductive tone.
Zhou Heng didn't even glance at her, scanning the Health Potion shelves behind her.
"Sister, give me 100 Health Potions. Also, I have 3 Silver Coins on me. Do you have anything at that price?"
The voluptuous woman gave Zhou Heng a surprised look, then chuckled softly, her chest heaving with her laughter.
"Oh my, young man, you're quite something~ You even have Silver Coins~"
"Then sister must show you something good~"
As she spoke, the voluptuous woman ducked under the counter, soon emerging with 100 Health Potions and a skill book.
"Experience Tome, Basic-grade skill. You players should know the market price, 3 Silver Coins. You won't lose out or be fooled."
The Experience Tome isn't a direct experience-boosting item like in traditional online games, but a skill that can continuously amplify experience.
A Basic-grade Experience Tome can provide an additional 10,000 experience points.
At this quality, 3 Silver Coins is the normal market price.
Just as Zhou Heng was about to directly purchase the skill book, lines of text suddenly appeared on his retina.
[Based on the basic knowledge from textbooks, you think your price is stable, but little do you know, you've entered a scam. These three Silver Coins will affect your future fate.]
[Fate gives a hint]
[Fate Hint One: As the Sword of Light raises its sword high in the Sakasi Empire, the currency system is the first to be impacted. Although 1,000 Copper Coins could exchange for 1 Silver Coin, that was before, not now. Currently, Copper Coins are hard to exchange upwards, with black market prices reaching 100,000 Copper Coins for 1 Silver Coin.]
[Fate Hint Two: Although Basic-grade Experience Tome skills aren't rare, they are essential. You might consider informing about the market, using 1 Silver Coin to exchange for a certain amount of Copper Coins to make the purchase. Current market price: 5,000 Copper Coins.]
