Starting with building a sandbox town

After Bai Xiu left the sandbox, a notification came from the sandbox town.

Congratulations! Your resident's wind chime has been upgraded and has learned a new skill.

"The Lucky Flower works well." Bai Xiu clicked on the wind chime's message.

Character Name: Wind Chime

Skill: Minimap

Effect: Available in wilderness areas, a simplified map will appear, showing some enemies and treasures.

Players can learn from this.

"Good skill." Bai Xiu nodded in satisfaction after seeing the skill.

Having a simple map can reduce the dangers in the wild and may even lead to unexpected gains.

Bai Xiu chose to study directly.

Wow!

Nothing much changed after the training, probably because Bai Xiu was still in the city.

Personnel communications also arrived at this time.

"Brother, the paperwork for the alien weapon is done. You can come and pick it up now."

"Is it done yet?" Bai Xiu glanced at the message and replied immediately.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Bai Xiu immediately left home.

Firefly Division Branch, third floor.

"Come on, I'll take you to the room of strange artifacts."

Upon seeing Bai Xiu, the bespectacled staff member didn't say anything else but led him directly to the fourth floor, pointing ahead, "Just walk to the end; you'll need to complete facial recognition."

"OK, thanks."

Bai Xiu nodded and walked straight to the iron gate at the end.

beep.

As Bai Xiu approached, the camera on the left side of the iron gate lit up, emitting a red light.

Bai Xiu faced the camera directly, and within seconds, Bai Xiu's information appeared on the door.

Name: Bai Xiu

Status: Full Member

Otherworldly Weapon: Not yet claimed

……

Verification passed.

With a click, the iron gate opened, and Bai Xiu walked straight in.

The house was much larger than he had imagined, probably several hundred square meters, and the walls were covered with small light talismans.

On one strange wooden box after another were placed heads, stones, blood-stained axes, and other bizarre objects.

Furthermore, the house itself was also strange, with an extremely cold and damp aura constantly lingering, like entering an air-conditioned room in summer, making one feel cold.

"Don't panic, this is the fluctuation of an alien weapon."

An elderly man with slightly gray hair sat in a chair in the corner of the room, looked at Bai Xiu with a smile and said, "These are all otherworldly weapons in front of you. Choose one at random. Don't rush. You have an hour to choose slowly. Once you choose, you can't change it."

Bai Xiu nodded and examined each item with curiosity.

There are quite a few supernatural weapons, and they all look very strange.

A thatch made from an old tree, a sword accompanied by the sound of a woman crying, and even more outrageous, a thatch with a human face on it, the material of which must have come from a human-faced bee.

"That old tree is a fifty-year-old ghost willow, which has the ability to control its branches. The woman's crying is a strange demon, the Crying Woman, which has the power to slightly vibrate the soul. For beginners, both are good weapons for survival," the old man said.

"Thank you, senior." Bai Xiu smiled politely, but did not linger on the weapons.

His purpose this time was very clear.

He seeks a water-attribute supernatural weapon to combine with his winter soul.

After walking around for a while, Bai Xiu suddenly stopped, his attention drawn to a sword in front of him.

The sword was blood red, with a baby face printed on it.

Its name is Blood Rain Sky.

Strangely, a slight red mist appeared near the sword.

The old man coughed, took a sip of tea, and reminded him, "That's a rather rare monster, the Blood Rain Doll, which only appears during unusual weather. It can bring down blood rain in the vicinity, but its power is weak. It can only be used to scout ahead, so I don't recommend you choose it."

Bai Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard that the Blood Sky Doll could bring rain.

What kind of changes will occur when Blood Rain is combined with one's Winter Soul?

Bai Xiu memorized the Blood Rain Doll, and after wandering around again, he didn't find any other suitable spirits, so he made a decision.

"Senior, I want this Blood Rain Sky Sword," Bai Xiu said to the old man.

The old man frowned slightly after hearing this. "This sword's attack and defense capabilities are both poor..."

"Never mind, whatever you like," the old man said, then shook his head. Giving advice was his responsibility, but whether the other person listened or not was none of his business.

After the elderly man completed the registration, the sword belonged to Bai Xiu.

They also gifted a scabbard made from small light talismans, which could be placed inside to suppress otherworldly weapons.

Bai Xiu held the Blood Rain Sky in his hand, eager to try summoning the Blood Rain in combination with the Winter Soul, but since he was still in the Firefly Division, he could only suppress his impulse and wait until he left to try.

"Your sword is only good for detection; it's not very lethal. Remember to learn special skills as soon as possible to make up for its shortcomings," the old man said, glancing at Bai Xiu.

Is it a special skill?

Bai Xiu's heart stirred slightly.

Official members of the Firefly Division not only possess supernatural weapons, but are also qualified to learn supernatural skills.

Most of the special abilities come from the powers of monsters.

The lighthouse used rare materials such as celestial stones to create the Monster Awakening Liquid.

Awakening Fluid, when used in conjunction with a monster's magic core, has a chance to grant the user the monster's skills.

However, only a few dozen of the most common monster awakening liquids have been successfully produced so far.

"Senior, how many contribution points are needed to learn the Human-Faced Bee's special skills?" Bai Xiu asked.

Without hesitation, the old man replied, "1500 contribution points. That's the price of the Human-Faced Bee Awakening Liquid plus the Magic Core. Just buying the Awakening Liquid will cost 1400 contribution points."

Bai Xiu nodded.

Awakening liquid is indeed not cheap.

Each contribution point represents 100 Alliance Coins.

You can only get 10 contribution points for picking a single glowing flower.

The old man nodded and said, "The skills of the human-faced bee are very suitable for you. At level 1, you already have the defensive skill Earth Wall. If you are lucky enough to learn level 2 Earth Trap, your future will be limitless."

"The more powerful the special skill, the more it can stimulate your body's potential and even increase the success rate of cultivating advanced body refining techniques, which is the key to breaking through to the late stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

The human-faced bee's special ability has several levels.

Being able to comprehend a level 2 special skill is already the threshold for captain level.

Wait a minute, if I prepare a magic core myself, will I be able to learn different skills?

Bai Xiu suddenly paused, his mind instantly conjuring up images of the terrifying, elongated lava-faced bees in his sandbox world.

Its body was charred black, and its neck seemed to almost reach the sky. Wherever it passed, the ground was completely dissolved by lava. That was definitely not something a normal human-faced bee could do.

If we hunt it in the future, will we obtain even rarer special skills?

Bai Xiu's eyes brightened slightly. After calming himself down, he slung his alien weapon over his shoulder and prepared to leave the Firefly Bureau.

Before leaving, the old man gave him another piece of advice: "Be careful, you're a newcomer. The weapons of the Otherworld are precious, and there are some people in the wild who specialize in hunting people like you."

"So arrogant?" Bai Xiu was somewhat surprised, knowing that those who possessed supernatural weapons were all official members of the Firefly Division.

The old man smiled meaningfully and said, "Nothing is impossible when it comes to profit. Possessing a supernatural weapon means having an extra life. Its value is higher than you imagine. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye."

After listening, Bai Xiu nodded, thanked the old man, and left the Firefly Bureau.

……

After Bai Xiu went downstairs, he drove directly to a secluded area in the city where there was no one around.

He gently touched the blood-rainy sky with his hand, and to be on the safe side, he only released a small amount of the Blood Blade's power.

Within two meters, a light rain of blood began to fall.
