In the Zero Era, equipment is categorized by grade from low to high as follows: White Equipment, Bronze Equipment, Fine Iron Weapon, Dark Iron Equipment, Silver Equipment, Golden Equipment, Dark Gold Equipment, Purple Gold Equipment, Spirit Tools, Celestial Artifacts, and Divine Artifacts.
Among these, Spirit Tools and equipment of higher grades have a certain chance of possessing skills. This makes them one of the important sources of skills for players in the later stages of the game, especially since Skill Books have an extremely low drop rate in the Zero Era.
"Good stuff! Really good stuff!" Yi Tianchen murmured to himself. Each gentle swing of the item left a faint blue glow in its wake, dazzling to behold.
After admiring it for a moment, Yi Tianchen quickly placed the Venomous Fang Dagger back into his bag. With Bronze Equipment being extremely scarce at present, flaunting a Fine Iron Weapon dagger like this could attract unwanted attention and trouble!
"Okay, wait here for my good news!" Yi Tianchen waved at the Appraiser and was about to turn away when he saw the Appraiser suddenly toss something over.
"Without this thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the Cunning Ring Serpent King!" The Appraiser's tone was calm but carried an undeniable authority.
"Oh?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback. He caught what appeared to be a scroll and opened it up. It seemed to be a map of a closed space with many locations marked by red dots. One particularly hidden spot was marked with a skull symbol.
This immediately made Yi Tianchen think of pirates and treasure maps!
"This is... Snake Den?" Yi Tianchen asked curiously as he folded the scroll back up.
"That's right. The red dots indicate the specific distribution of Cunning Ring Serpents in Snake Den. As for that skull symbol, I believe you know what it represents!" The Appraiser nodded and continued, "I hope that when I see you next time, we can both find what I need!"
Yi Tianchen paused for a moment and replied earnestly, "Don't worry; I won't let you down!"
After leaving the Identification Center, Yi Tianchen did not set off immediately but instead went to the apothecary next door. As he was about to confront the Cunning Ring Serpent King—the boss known for having the highest level near the novice village—he felt it was essential to prepare thoroughly.
Upon entering the apothecary, he noticed that business was booming; the Boss had long forgotten him. Without any hesitation, Yi Tianchen placed two Silver Coins on the counter and gritted his teeth as he purchased twenty bottles of First-Level Life Potion in one go.
After that, Yi Tianchen made another stop at the Blacksmith Shop to repair his Goblin Shoes. Although they were the lowest grade White Equipment, they still provided some defense and might prove unexpectedly useful in critical moments.
Having completed all these preparations, Yi Tianchen quickly dashed out of the novice village.
Upon entering the forest, Yi Tianchen finally took out the Venomous Fang Dagger and equipped it. In the Zero Era, players could not hide the glowing effects of their equipment before officially changing classes at level 10. The clusters of blue luminescence seemed to dance across his palm, giving Yi Tianchen an air of mystery.
Afterward, he added the free attribute points he had gained and immediately opened his attribute panel---

……
"An attack cap of 62?" Yi Tianchen chuckled to himself, gazing at the Venomous Fang Dagger wrapped in blue light. His desire for power was reignited.
In the afternoon forest, bright patches of light danced around as a gentle Mountain Breeze blew through, causing the leaves to rustle softly. The occasional chirping of birds and insects added to the serene atmosphere, making the woods feel even more tranquil.
As he walked along, Yi Tianchen took out the map given to him by the Appraiser for the Snake Den. After studying it carefully for a moment, he realized that the entrance to the Snake Den was actually located three to four meters underground. Looking around at the flat terrain, Yi Tianchen began to suspect that there must be a deep pit at the entrance of the Snake Den.
"President, it's this kid, it's this kid!" Suddenly, a voice filled with surprise, anger, and resentment came from ahead, causing Yi Tianchen to freeze in shock. He looked up to see more than twenty people divided into three groups blocking his path.
"Damn it!" Yi Tianchen couldn't help but curse under his breath. He had been focused on the map, and in this brief moment, he had stumbled upon such a situation.
The voice belonged to none other than a member of King's Studio whom Yi Tianchen had previously dealt with. Standing at the forefront of the group of over twenty was Zeng Jian, the President of King's Guild, glaring angrily at Yi Tianchen while holding a long sword with a green glow swirling around it.
"I didn't expect it would be you; what a narrow road for enemies!" Zeng Jian's gaze was fierce as he immediately recognized Yi Tianchen. He pointed his sword at him, and the latter part of his sentence was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
Zeng Jian used the ID King's Sword Soul in Conquest and specialized as a swordsman. In terms of operational skill, despite being a typical rich second-generation heir with little achievement, Zeng Jian's understanding of the game was decent.
Otherwise, even with substantial financial backing, it would still be challenging for a guild like King's to rise to prominence in China's online gaming scene within three years. The gaming world values strength; the stronger you are, the more followers you will attract.
With ample funding, King's Guild had also recruited many skilled players.
Take the people standing before Yi Tianchen right now: to Zeng Jian's left was King's Eternal, the top assassin of King's Guild; to his right was Overlord Batyen, the top mage of King's Guild. Together, these three formed the core leadership of King's Guild.
In addition, there were several other mid-tier skilled players present.
What surprised Yi Tianchen immensely was that such high-ranking members of King's Guild had gathered in this small novice village. Wasn't that a bit too coincidental?
However, it was clear that no one would offer any explanations now; this was not the time for such questions. Yi Tianchen certainly did not believe that Zeng Jian and his group had appeared merely to reminisce or chat casually.
Over the past three years, due to frequent interactions with Liu Yuhan, Yi Tianchen had become somewhat familiar with some elite forces within King's Guild. Although he had thought their skills were decent during those years, they now seemed rather mediocre and even somewhat subpar.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect to run into you so soon; it's quite surprising!" Yi Tianchen smiled slightly and appeared very calm as he flipped his wrist to reveal his Venomous Fang Dagger.
In an instant, Zeng Jian's expression changed dramatically as his lips twitched. Many around him were equally shocked. Earlier, when Yi Tianchen had been looking at the map, he had sheathed his dagger. Zeng Jian's sword pointed at Yi Tianchen not only signified provocation but also contempt.
However, he never expected that Yi Tianchen would directly brandish the Venomous Fang Dagger—an item that was one grade higher than a Bronze weapon!
It was clear that in this silent first confrontation, Yi Tianchen had already secured an overwhelming victory.
"MD, it's actually a Fine Iron Weapon!" King's Eternal exclaimed, eyes wide as he stared intently at the Venomous Fang Dagger in Yi Tianchen's hand, unable to resist glancing at the dagger he held himself.
It was a white dagger, belonging to the lowest grade of Zero Era equipment!
"I really underestimated you!" Zeng Jian chuckled mockingly, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "I’ve heard your skills are quite impressive, but I must admit, I’m a bit puzzled. As someone who once had you under my command for three years as a lifestyle player, I can hardly believe how much you’re capable of."
"What? Are you curious?" Yi Tianchen replied leisurely, fiddling with the dagger in his hand. He rubbed his nose thoughtfully and said meaningfully, "Believe me... you'll find out soon enough!"
At this moment, Yi Tianchen felt a weight in his heart; he was prepared to fight to the death. Not to mention the previous players who had fallen at the hands of Zeng Jian, he knew that in reality, Zeng Jian would not let him off easily.
Moreover, Yi Tianchen was alone now, wielding a coveted Fine Iron Weapon. In contrast, Zeng Jian had over twenty people with him—there was no reason for them to let Yi Tianchen escape. Unless the Buddha himself descended from the heavens to intervene.
"You’re quite arrogant! But... don’t even think about testing my patience; that would be an extremely foolish thing to do!" Zeng Jian said coldly as he stepped forward.
From his stance, it was clear he intended to challenge Yi Tianchen to a duel!
