Chapter 63 – Western Fantasy World

Wifeless Imprisonment: [Just because the Trait drop rate is high, does that mean he produced them?]

Kongcheng Juechang: [Exactly! Normally, guns obtained through Plunder in the Platform World, or equipment from opening crates, have a Trait drop rate of about one in ten at best. Many of the level 0 guns he sells rarely have Traits. Only the QBU series—over half of them have Traits, especially the level 2 and 3 ones, which almost always come with Traits. Such a high Trait activation rate can only mean he produced them himself, and his Crafting Station’s Quality is not low—at least Fine-grade!]

Seeing Kongcheng Juechang’s analysis, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but admire his sharpness. As he had guessed, the reason Xiao Wuwang hadn’t upgraded his Crafting Station back then was precisely because higher-quality Crafting Stations had a higher Trait drop rate.

However, there was one thing Kongcheng Juechang hadn’t guessed: Xiao Wuwang’s Talent.

When Xiao Wuwang used his Talent to upgrade items, the probability of triggering Traits was much higher than producing them with a Crafting Station!

The M870, M40, and Barrett he kept were examples.

Aside from these three guns, many of the equipment he upgraded had Traits, some even with more than one. It’s just that those Traits weren’t particularly outstanding, so he didn’t keep them.

After Kongcheng Juechang’s analysis, more and more people in the group accepted this explanation and hoped that Xiao Wuwang would produce more level 2 and 3 guns for sale if possible.

Xiao Wuwang wanted to as well, but the Crafting Station Blueprint was still being derived and would take two more days to complete.

Just as his thoughts wandered, Han Xing returned.

The saltpeter mine was finally exhausted!

Xiao Wuwang checked and saw that Han Xing’s efforts over the past eight or nine hours had yielded a total of 2,070 units of saltpeter.

Over two thousand units of saltpeter would be enough for him to use for a long time.

Now, he only needed to focus on acquiring sulfur to mass-produce bullets.

After praising Han Xing, Xiao Wuwang used his last bit of Fatigue Points to upgrade the Planting Carriage to level 4.

After the upgrade, plant growth time was halved again.

Cabbage that originally took three days to grow could now be harvested in just a day and a half.

After upgrading the Planting Carriage, it was past midnight, and Xiao Wuwang could finally sleep soundly.

The next day.

After Cultivating the Azure Dragon Sinewed-Bone Body Art, Xiao Wuwang’s attributes were as follows:

Name: Xiao Wuwang

…

Fatigue Points: 45/100

Health Points: 89/100

Base Attributes—

Constitution: 32.3 (increased by 2.5 points)

Spirit: 23.8 (increased by 1 point)

Free Attribute Points: 8

…

——————

Constitution successfully broke through 30 points!

Spirit increased steadily by 1 point, just like the previous day.

He estimated that in another day, he could take the second Evolution Potion, and his Base Attributes would experience another small surge.

After finishing his preparations, Xiao Wuwang finally faced the sixth day’s Platform challenge.

[Ding!]

[The train is about to pull into station.]

[Your current station site is the level 4 Mission Platform—Forest of the Lost.]

[This site’s Danger Rating: Moderate Risk.]

[Specific tasks to be explored after disembarking.]

[Please prepare!]

——————

The scene shifted.

The train entered a dense jungle.

It soon stopped in front of a wooden, antiquated, and dilapidated station.

Xiao Wuwang didn’t disembark immediately.

Lao Tie brought him some bad news—

No supply crates detected within 20 kilometers!

After upgrading to level 4, the radar’s maximum detection range is 20 kilometers.

Hearing this news, Xiao Wuwang couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The world beyond 20 kilometers was so vast—where could he possibly find a supply crate? It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, judging by the platform’s name and the surrounding environment, this seemed to be a fantasy world!

Even if it was only a level 4 platform, some small animals hidden beneath the leaves, laden with deadly poison, could still take a life.

Thus, a consensus had long been established in later generations: when entering a fantasy world, never blindly trust the danger rating provided by the system.

Though slightly disappointed by the lack of supply crate information, Xiao Wuwang still geared up and stepped off the train.

As soon as he stepped out of the train, a moist, fragrant scent of grass and trees washed over him.

Confirmed.

This was the unique atmosphere of a fantasy world.

Xiao Wuwang felt both excitement and anticipation.

Though fantasy worlds were fraught with hidden dangers, they also held coveted opportunities and treasures.

For example, the towering trees here produced the wood pith he needed to reach level 5.

Additionally, there were various medicinal herbs with special effects.

Xiao Wuwang had delayed dealing with the Crimson Flame Bear’s corpse for two reasons: first, the bear’s blood supply and his relatively low Order temporarily met his needs; second, without suitable medicinal herbs to stimulate and neutralize the violent energy in the Crimson Flame Bear meat, consuming it directly would result in significant waste.

If he could find some corresponding medicinal herbs here, once he was capable of digesting the bear meat, his base attributes could improve at an even faster rate.

Xiao Wuwang glanced around but surprisingly didn’t find the “NPC” who had summoned him. He turned to Han Xing and said, “Scan for nearby heat sources.”

Upon hearing this, Han Xing immediately activated its infrared scanning function. Within a second, it pointed to a massive tree on the right and said, “Master, there is a large heat source behind that tree.”

Xiao Wuwang ordered, “Go check it out.”

Han Xing immediately dashed toward the tree. When it arrived behind it, it promptly reported to Xiao Wuwang, “Master, there is a small dwarf here, on the brink of death.”

Xiao Wuwang had already moved swiftly, gliding toward the giant tree with light steps.

As Xiao Wuwang approached, he saw a short, dark-skinned dwarf wearing tattered leather armor leaning against the tree roots. The dwarf’s breathing was faint, his eyes tightly shut, seemingly on the verge of death.

This was a member of the dwarf race—likely the one who had posted the task to the train system, summoning the train conductor for support.

Xiao Wuwang took two steps forward and first checked the dwarf’s breathing. He was alive, but covered in wounds large and small, and probably wouldn’t last much longer.

Xiao Wuwang immediately took out a bottle of water, used a dagger to cut it in half, poured out half of the remaining water, then added a vitality potion to it. After shaking it to mix, he pried open the dwarf’s mouth and poured the vitality potion-infused water into it.

As the potion slowly flowed into the dwarf’s mouth, he gradually began to react.

Soon, his eyes opened. At first, a flicker of confusion appeared in them, but upon seeing Xiao Wuwang, his eyes instantly filled with vigilance and wariness. His body instinctively tried to shrink back, but his extremely weak state made it impossible for him to make any significant movements.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuwang said softly, “Don’t be nervous, I’m the one who saved you. You’re very weak right now, so rest well first. We can talk when you have more strength.”

The dwarf seemed to understand Xiao Wuwang’s words, and the wariness in his eyes eased slightly. His lips moved faintly as he uttered a weak voice, “Who… are you? Why… did you save me?”

Xiao Wuwang replied, “Who I am isn’t important. Did you just use some special currency to make a wish, hoping someone would come to help you?”

As if recalling something, the dwarf immediately reacted and quickly took out an Infinite Coin with a face value of 100. “Is this what you mean?”

Xiao Wuwang said, “Yes! Give me this currency, and I can help you with something within my power.”

The dwarf became excited at once, his eyes immediately turning toward the void. “Truly great Haradil… Manifestation, our crown prince can be saved!”

“Cough~ Cough~”

Overwhelmed by emotion, the dwarf couldn’t help but cough violently. His already extremely weak body now seemed on the verge of collapse.

Xiao Wuwang quickly reached out to support him, soothingly saying, “Don’t get too excited. In your current state, you won’t last much longer. You’d better tell me quickly what you need me to do.”
