Chapter 6: I'm Strong

It took quite a bit of effort to fuse just these dozen or so pieces of equipment. By the time Jiang Bai eagerly placed the fused blue fine weapon into the secondary slot, about two minutes had already passed.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!"

Jiang Bai carefully placed the longbow into the main slot. With bated breath and immense anticipation, he pressed the "Fusion" button.

This time, a dazzling purple light flashed and then disappeared, followed by an exquisitely designed purple longbow quietly floating in front of Jiang Bai.

Abyssal Longbow (Epic)

Attack: 10

Agility: 2

Strength: 2

Slicing: When attacking, deals an additional 20 points of true damage.

Equipment Level: 1

"Awesome!"

"Incredible!"

"Even the name has changed!"

"The attack actually deals true damage. This is too overpowered!"

Jiang Bai wiped the drool from his mouth and immediately equipped the longbow, of course, still hiding the equipment's glow as usual. Otherwise, this set of purple gear would attract so much jealousy.

After fusing the longbow, it was time for the cloth armor. Following the same routine, five minutes later...

At the same time, the system's abrupt voice echoed throughout the server.

Player "Empty City Old Dream" is the first player in the entire server to equip an Epic-level item, achieving the unique server-wide achievement "I'm Strong"

The public chat channel instantly boiled over.

I'm a Chicken: "Epic-level equipment? Purple gear? Is this for real?"

Earth's Only Male God: "Damn! I'm still using newbie gear! And this guy already has purple gear?"

Obedient Little Rabbit: "Server-wide call for 'Empty City Old Dream' bro, 173cm dance major youthful beauty girl seeks to be taken under your wing and leveled up, any request can be fulfilled, bro..."

Only Love White Silk: "To the one above, I want to lick your..."

...

"An achievement has been unlocked!"

Amidst his shock, Jiang Bai quickly opened his achievement interface. The official guide had mentioned before entering the game that players would earn various unique achievements while exploring the Genesis continent. It seemed to be true.

I'm Strong (Epic)

Achievement Requirements: Be the first player in the entire server to possess an Epic-level item. (Achieved)

Strength: 1

Agility: 1

Intelligence: 1

Spirit: 1

Constitution: 1

Special Effect: Player's critical hit chance increased by 1%.

"All attributes +1, and it even boosts critical hits. What an amazing title!"

Jiang Bai vaguely felt that his path to gold farming would likely no longer be ordinary.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bai had a sudden inspiration and quickly fused the cloth armor in his bag, soon obtaining a brand-new purple cloth armor.

Abyssal Cloth Armor (Epic)

Defense: 10

Constitution: 2

Agility: 2

Damage Immunity: When attacked, nullifies 10 points of final damage.

"Unbelievably strong!!!!"

"Directly nullifying 10 points of damage! This is even more powerful than 10 points of defense!"

Amazed, unfortunately, this time the purple cloth armor did not earn Jiang Bai a new achievement. But there was no reason to be discouraged.

"Well, I guess that's how it is."

Jiang Bai clicked his tongue, "It seems the purple gear achievement is a one-time thing. No wonder it's a unique server-wide achievement. The system is a bit overbearing, not even consulting the player's opinion before directly publishing the name."

Jiang Bai looked at the private messages that had exploded in his inbox. As the saying goes, people fear fame and pigs fear getting fat; this was the downside.

"But at least I can choose to hide my name."

Jiang Bai directly selected the name-hiding function and then opened the private messages.

"Bro, whatever price you set for the gear!"

"Bro, no beating around the bush, I'll trade you 100,000 RMB for a piece of purple gear, add me as a friend if you agree."

...

All were rather unproductive messages. Jiang Bai directly chose to block them all.

After Jiang Bai equipped the two pieces of purple gear, his personal attributes underwent another significant change. Empty City Old Dream

Title: I'm Strong

"55 attack, with attack strength, it's basically equivalent to 65 attack! Plus the weapon's 20 points of true damage!"

Jiang Bai drooled as he stared at his panel, "For a normal full-output player, with gear, a level 2 player would have at most around 25 attack. I'm almost three times that!"

"Time to hunt boars!"

Jiang Bai, brimming with confidence, embarked on his boar-hunting journey.

The Iron-Backed Boar was a level 4 monster. By the time he reached this area, there were hardly any players left. After all, the majority were still struggling in the level 1 and 2 monster zones, and even the level 3 monster zone was sparsely populated.

As a level 4 boar came into view, Jiang Bai stopped in his tracks.

"This guy has 300 health and 15 defense. I have 55 attack and 10 attack strength. One arrow deals 50 damage, plus 20 true damage, that's 70 damage. Five shots should be enough!"

"It hits me for 20 damage. I have 150 health, which can withstand 7 hits. Plus the slow effect from Vibration Shot, soloing this is no problem at all!"

If other players knew what Jiang Bai was thinking at this moment, they would probably be terrified.

A level 2 player actually wanted to solo a level 4 monster!!!

While calculating and preparing to strike, Jiang Bai suddenly felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.

"Bro, what are you doing alone in this high-level area?"

Suddenly, a rather sarcastic voice rang out.

Jiang Bai turned around and saw a team of three standing behind him, seemingly out of nowhere.

Yuncheng Gutianle

Yuncheng Wuyanzu

Yuncheng Chenguangxi

"Huh? The names are quite unique."

Jiang Bai scrutinized the three, all level 2, and their gear was plain white.

And the leader, Yuncheng Gutianle, was eyeing the longbow on Jiang Bai's back with a greedy look.

"Cut the crap, the purple gear you got was from a hidden quest, right?"

"I won't beat around the bush. Sell me the gear."

"No way."

Jiang Bai's refusal was crisp and clear.

"That's not up to you to decide."

With that, the three of them slowly surrounded Jiang Bai in a pin shape.

"Either we three kill you back to the safe zone, guard you until we strip you of your gear, or you sell it to us."

"You're quite domineering, aren't you?"

Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry, that's just how we roll."

Yuncheng Gutianle further threatened, "Don't think we're just a three-man team. We have tens of thousands of players in our guild in Yuncheng. I don't think you have the guts to oppose us, do you?"

"Hmph."

Jiang Bai let out a cold laugh and drew his longbow.

"The gear is right here. If you've got the guts, come and take it!"
