Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

“Sandstorm Tornado: After activation, the battlefield disappears and transforms into several sandstorm tornadoes, with power inversely proportional to the number of tornadoes.”
An attack skill?!
Ye Zhongming straightened up.
The sudden onset of the apocalypse brought disaster, but it also bestowed countless mysterious abilities. Among these abilities, attack skills were undoubtedly the most coveted.
Within the first five years of the apocalypse, the price of attack skills remained high. Although it receded somewhat after five years, they were still among the most expensive items in trade.
This is not hard to understand; after all, for humans to evolve, they needed to hunt mutated creatures to obtain magic crystals and then acquire evolution potions from the roulette.
Under such circumstances, the value of attack skills, which could enhance hunting efficiency, would naturally not be low, especially in the absence of a main class, making attack skills all the more precious.
Moreover, active skills on weapons and equipment are few. If one happens to possess an active skill that is also an attack skill, it is more than reasonable to regard that piece of equipment as top-quality equipment.
Why are epic or legendary items so desirable? Apart from their strong inherent attributes, they often come with active attack skills that can unleash effects beyond their basic functions.
Having an active attack skill on a purple-grade weapon indicates that the true value of the war blade moon sand is infinitely close to the epic level.
If I could wield such a war blade...
Ye Zhongming found it hard to even imagine.
However, when he saw the materials needed to forge this war blade, Ye Zhongming felt his head spin.
The required materials amounted to seven types!
Thorny alga juice, heavy armor bird feathers, Black Foundation Silkworm Crystal, Refining Gold, thick hemp tree trunks, earth silkworm salivary glands, and the Heart of the Red Giant Demon...
These materials made Ye Zhongming's teeth ache because among them, two were very difficult to obtain, three were extremely challenging, one was exceedingly difficult to find, and as for the last one... Ye Zhongming had never even heard of it!
Furthermore, creating the war blade moon sand required a level six energy crystal, and a total of ten!
The blows didn’t stop there; the final line of the entire blueprint completely defeated Ye Zhongming. It read - Note: Forging this equipment may fail, with a failure rate of fifty percent.
It can still fail!?
There's no need to control the heat, nor do you need to smelt it, what kind of failure is this!?
Ye Zhongming counted on his fingers; excluding the Refining Gold he had just heard of, the other six materials he knew of were at least worth one thousand Grade 5 Magic Crystals combined in the pre-rebirth apocalypse!
This wasn’t one thousand Grade 1 Magic Crystals; it was one thousand Grade 5 Magic Crystals!
Did he earn that much money in his previous life? Ye Zhongming felt a bit confused.
Thinking of the number of promotion scrolls required for his current professions, glorious artisan and gardener, and considering the main class he might acquire in the future along with relevant promotions, Ye Zhongming suddenly felt that he seemed to be someone in the apocalypse as well!
Not learning to sell? What a joke. Ye Zhongming directly crushed the parchment scroll and learned to forge the war knife moon sand.
The cost was high, so what? Isn’t there a saying that any problem solvable with money isn’t a problem at all? A reborn person like him would still be afraid of this?
After gaining the biggest reward from this line, Ye Zhongming turned his attention to the three ape turtle egrets' eggs. This thing was also valuable; eating it could increase physical strength and was referred to as a minor evolution potion. While Ye Zhongming was examining the blueprint, the earth yellow pill had already circled around those three eggs countless times.
With delicious food in front of him, Ye Zhongming was not courteous. He found some wood from the construction site and built a small fire next to the canister truck. After lighting it, he placed one of the relatively weak eggs on the fire to roast.
