Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 4

“Is anyone there? Can someone tell me what happened? How did I end up in the sky?”

“Lord Buddha! Isn’t it said that you go to heaven after you die? Am I dead already? I haven’t even finished paying off my mortgage!”

“Shen Mengting, where are you? I’m your husband Wang Hongrui, please respond if you see this.”

“Wait a minute, where’s my husband?”

There’s too much information, many people lose their sanity and cry blindly, while many others are searching for their family and friends, hoping for some comfort.

Han Xing filters through this information, knowing that suddenly arriving in such a strange world is indeed hard to accept.

But if they don’t adapt quickly, what awaits them is the depletion of supplies, and the fate of dying from either thirst or hunger.

Of course, among the tens of thousands of survivors on 107 Area Channel, there are also some calm individuals who have already begun exploring this unknown world.

Someone began seeking help: “Help! I just touched a cloud, and the system says there’s a foul stench inside, does this mean there’s a monster inside?”

“Why are you asking us, we don’t know either, why don’t you go in and see for yourself!”

“Alright, I’ll go check it out.”

Two seconds later, a terrified cry for help came through the chat channel: “Damn, it’s a Mud Slime!”

“Help! The slime jumped on me, it’s stuffing me into its body, I… glug… glug…”

“…”

The chat channel fell into a moment of silence, then someone cautiously asked: “That brother, he didn’t get drowned by the Mud Slime, did he?”

No one responded, but it was a very likely possibility.

“Help! I’ve also encountered a monster!”

“Me too, there are so many monsters in the clouds!”

“These monsters are too terrifying, how did that guy who got the first server kill do it?”

Although these people are quite adaptable, they are still a few steps behind compared to Han Xing.

By the time he had already completed the first server kill, most people had just encountered their first cloud.

Of course, not everyone is so unlucky, some clouds contained no dangers at all.

“Hahaha, a bunch of losers! I didn’t encounter any monsters, and I even found food inside, if you want it, bring water to trade!”

“I didn’t encounter any monsters either, I just opened a wooden chest and found a Green weapon for Rogues, awesome! Don’t bother asking how to trade, I only want water and food, nothing else!”

Han Xing pondered, the most scarce resources right now must be water and food.

He entered the Trading Channel, where hundreds of trade messages densely appeared.

“Stone Piece x20, can be used as throwing weapons, need food!”

“Slime Mucus x10, magical material, for 200 ml of water!”

“1-Star Beast Skin x1, excellent quality leather material, can be used to make equipment, tradeable for 3 units of water or food!”

“Beast Skin!” Han Xing’s eyes lit up, the material needed for the Space Bag Blueprint he just got included 1-Star Beast Skin.

In “Sky Island Paradise”, each player can equip two bags, and Han Xing could still equip another one.

Moreover, he has the ‘God-level Craftsman’ talent bonus, the bags he makes could likely be stronger than the system-rewarded ones, just like the Sharpened Wooden Arrows!

And if he’s lucky, another special effect might greatly increase his survival ability!

But, the guy selling the Beast Skin was asking for a lot, starting at 3 units of water, which is 3000 ml.

Everyone had just arrived in this world not long ago, who could suddenly come up with so much water?

Han Xing also knew this guy was intentionally setting the price so high, which is also a bargaining tactic, so he clicked on private chat, the other person’s name was ‘Emperor of Sorrow (悲风大帝)’.

Star River: “Bro, three berries for 1-Star Beast Skin.”

Emperor of Sorrow: “Three berries? Are you trying to fob off a beggar?”

Star River: “Three are not few, you don’t have the blueprint to make anything, holding onto the Beast Skin is useless, better to quickly convert it into useful resources, in this world, ensuring your own survival is the most important.”

Han Xing began to persuade, but the other party wouldn’t budge.

Emperor of Sorrow: “No way! I nearly lost my life getting this 1-Star Beast Skin, it took the effort of nine oxen and two tigers, at least ten berries, or no deal!”

Han Xing laughed upon hearing this: “Ha, who are you trying to bluff? Beast Skin can only drop from at least a 1-Star Beast. With your current attributes, how could you possibly be a match for a 1-Star Beast? I think you just got lucky and found it on another sky island.”

Emperor of Sorrow was somewhat shocked: “How do you know so much?”

Han Xing chuckled, he of course wouldn’t tell the other party that he had actually played this game before.

Han Xing continued: “Let me tell you, 1-Star Beast Skin isn’t such a precious material. If you think about selling it tomorrow, you might not even get three berries.”

Han Xing was, of course, deceiving him. Beast Skin, as a main material, has many applications and will always be in high demand.

Emperor of Sorrow seemed to be subdued by Han Xing, cautiously asking: “Re… really?”

He was somewhat persuaded, “But still, three berries is too little, how about… you add a bit more?”

“Okay, five berries, any more and I don’t want it.”

“Deal!”

The other party quickly agreed.

[Survivor ‘Emperor of Sorrow’ has initiated a trade request with you.]

Han Xing clicked agree, both parties placed their items in the trade window and confirmed the trade.

In the bag, five berries disappeared, and a new piece of Beast Skin appeared on the territory ground.

A smile appeared on Han Xing’s face, “Nice, now to craft the Space Bag I have two kinds of materials both ready, now, just missing Ether.”

Ether, this kind of material, only drops from some magical monsters upon death.

Han Xing glanced at the Trading Channel, those consigning this material all required water and food.

On his own territory’s Berry Tree, there were still 19 berries, to prevent unexpected situations, he couldn’t trade berries anymore.

However, although he couldn’t use berries for trading, he still had another ‘Big Weapon’ in hand.

[Sharpened Wooden Arrow!]

Just now in battle, Han Xing has proven the power of wooden arrows.

After three arrows triggered a special effect, it directly killed a level 1 monster slime.

In the Area Channel with tens of thousands of people, those who chose the Hunter class must have noticed the effect of the wooden arrows.

Sure enough, as soon as Han Xing posted the consignment information, it immediately caused a stir in the chat channel.

“Holy shit! Excellent quality wooden arrows, and they come with special effects!”

“Wow! The attack power is almost double that of my wooden arrows, that’s awesome!”

“Those who chose the Hunter class are in luck, give me a few of these arrows, I dare to challenge the monsters in the clouds!”

“Who has Ether, go exchange it! This big shot is now trading 10 Ether for one arrow!”

…

In less than three minutes, all five wooden arrows Han Xing consigned were traded out, netting a total of 50 Ether.

“Nice, all the materials needed to make the Space Bag are gathered!” Han Xing corners of his mouth curved up in a smile.

Just as he was preparing to make the Space Bag, two system notifications suddenly appeared.
