The most anxious were those from the Celestial Realm.

Because of the initial player-snatching incident, the Celestial Realm and the House of Evolution were like fire and water. These days, when going to the Eastern Region to clear out demons, there was no shortage of confrontations between members of both Halls.

"Little Boss, what should we do now? Should we consider changing our identities?" Food Heaven asked, sitting with the Glutton Squad, his face etched with worry.

Little Boss was very concerned about this matter as well. The Demon Race was dominant in this version, creating a fundamental, significant gap between them and the Human Race. If players from the House of Evolution became Demon Race members and then used Light Fire, Celestial Realm definitely wouldn't be their opponents.

"Contact Dung Beetle. See what plan Wood Leaf Village has," Little Boss frowned and said. "Version 4.0 favors the Demon Race's strength, but ultimately, the Human Race are the true Lords of this game."

Hearing this, Cat Eats Fish turned and said, "I've already messaged Dung Beetle, but he's probably too busy to come now. Wood Leaf Village's real opponents are the War Alliance. To deal with the House of Evolution, we still have to rely on ourselves."

"What about Cloud Lament and the Second Legion?" Little Boss asked gravely. "Haven't they responded yet?"

By now, players had entered a phase of civil war, with each Hall planting spies in others to keep watch. Rumor even had it that the top ranks of the Valley of Hundred Flowers were infiltrated by players from the Hundred Herbs Hall. To this day, the female players of the Valley of Hundred Flowers were still constantly conducting self-examinations.

"There's no news from the Second Legion. They don't seem to care much about this," one of them, having eaten and drunk his fill, spoke up. "Cloud Lament has made big moves. Their second-in-command, Chaotic Dance Steps, is already in contact with members of the House of Evolution."

Trouble!

Everyone's brows were tightly knotted. If Cloud Lament were to ally with the House of Evolution, it would be a blow akin to a thunderbolt from a clear sky for the Celestial Realm.

Just as everyone was fraught with worry, a System announcement completely silenced all the players.

[System: Player 'Da Lang doesn't drink medicine,' through diligent effort and continuous improvement, has successfully forged an Eight-Star piece of Equipment: Butterfly Lovers (Necklace).]

Hmm?

What in the world?

Forging Equipment? What was that all about?

"What's this 'equipment forging' for? Does anyone know?" Food Heaven asked, looking puzzled as he addressed the people around him.

Little Boss said gravely, "This feature has been around since the Second Test, requiring players to craft their own Equipment. Back then, combat power was enhanced using Contribution Points, so Equipment wasn't crucial. Even now, Realm determines everything. This is why players choosing the Life Stream cultivate Spiritual Medicine and engage in Alchemy and Refining. Handcrafted Equipment isn't suitable for this version, and besides..."

Before he could finish, Cat Eats Fish's face suddenly paled. He shot up and shouted, "Quick, look at this Equipment!"

Hmm?

Equipment?

Everyone opened the System's communication function, which they sometimes used to send private messages and the like. But this time, everyone stared at this Handcrafted Equipment, utterly speechless.

[Name: Butterfly Lovers.]

[Category: Necklace.]

[Quality: Extreme Equipment.]

[Special Effects:

1. Wearer gains an extra 80% health.

2. Possesses a rare Thunder Attribute; the wearer can autonomously comprehend a Thunder Attribute Cultivation Technique. The Thunder Attribute will be lost upon removal.

3. Wearer will have Butterfly Lovers' special light effects.

4. Magic Immunity increased by 50%.

5. Increases all of the wearer's Magic spell effects by 10%.]

[Note: Effects of Handcrafted Equipment, currently only usable by the Human Race.]

HISS!

Seeing the stats of this Equipment, all the players were on their feet, unable to remain calm.

Did he just craft a divine artifact?

This Handcrafted Equipment was so incredible!

Little Boss stared at the Equipment, his eyes wide. "Here it comes! The Human Race's opportunity to rise has arrived!"

Currently limited to Human Race use!

This essentially told all players that if they switched races, they would completely lose the chance to wear Handcrafted Equipment—at least for a considerable time.

And the truly exceptional aspect of this Equipment was the Thunder Attribute it granted. This meant players could use this Equipment to develop new Magic spells.

Aside from the Five Elements Technique, the only truly rare attribute until now was Dung Beetle's Wind Attribute.

Now that another rare attribute, the Thunder Attribute, had appeared, how could the players not be thrilled?

"Holy Crap, isn't this an Immortal Artifact? It's basically from a later game version, right?"

"Lord, are you selling? How about 10,000 RMB via Offline Trading? We can do it immediately."

"10,000 RMB? Are you dreaming? This is top-tier Equipment! You want to buy it with just 10,000?"

"I'll offer One Thousand Contribution Points! Interested in a direct trade, buddy?"

"..."

In an instant, the player named Da Lang doesn't drink medicine was bombarded with a flurry of private messages.

Little Boss and his group looked at this player's information panel and couldn't help but chuckle.

He was from their Celestial Realm Hall!

This Da Lang doesn't drink medicine was one of their own, from Celestial Realm!

"Contact Da Lang doesn't drink medicine immediately! Tell him not to sell this Equipment, especially not to people from the War Alliance or the House of Evolution!" Little Boss said excitedly. "The House of Evolution has poached many of our people, and right now we really lack such talent. Da Lang doesn't drink medicine is undoubtedly a huge morale booster for our Celestial Realm players!"

Food Heaven couldn't help but marvel, "Who could have thought that a piece of Handcrafted Equipment would break the current deadlock? This game truly is full of surprises!"
