To be honest, when Zhang Yi saw this skill book, he was tempted.

  A mage's area attack skill is quite rare, and judging from Storm Angel's distressed expression, he must have spent a fortune on it.

  The value of this green mage area attack skill book is actually no less than the Silver Moon Bow, because equipment gets repced as you level up, but skills don't. A good skill can be used for a lifetime!

  However, as an experienced pyer, Zhang Yi didn't show his liking for the skill book on his face. He pretended to hesitate and said, "Well... I want 30 gold coins, plus 100 Level 1 Enhancement Stones, and this skill book. How about that?"

  Zhang Yi was prepared for the possibility that the other party might not agree and was ready to trade the Silver Moon Bow for Chain Lightning directly. Unexpectedly, Storm Angel only hesitated for a moment before nodding, "No problem, I'll have my team gather the money right away. Give me ten minutes!"

  "No need to rush, I can give you three hours."

  Seeing Zhang Yi put away the Silver Moon Bow, Storm Angel was puzzled, "What... what do you mean?"

  "I'll be here waiting for you three hours ter, at 11 o'clock sharp. We'll trade then, under the same conditions."

  Storm Angel was confused, "Why?"

  "Because I need to sleep."

  With that, Zhang Yi packed up his stall and left the crowd, leaving behind a few bewildered members of the Storm family.

  "Captain, why does he want to wait three hours to trade?"

  Storm Angel frowned, "I don't know either, but for this equipment, we'll wait. Let's go level up first and come back at 11 sharp to trade with him."

  His fatigue had already dropped to 28%. Although he could still st four more hours without resting, Zhang Yi pnned to fully restore his stamina before an important task in the afternoon.

  As for why he wanted to wait until after sleeping to trade with Storm Angel? Of course, it was because Zhang Yi didn't want others to develop too quickly while he was sleeping. If he handed over the high-attack Silver Moon Bow to Storm Angel now, who knows, by the time Zhang Yi woke up after a few hours, that guy might already be level 15!

  To recover fatigue, pyers can choose to rest in rooms ranging from one-star to five-star at the inn. The lower the star rating, the slower the fatigue recovery rate. A one-star room recovers 5% fatigue per hour, and so on, with a five-star room recovering 25% per hour.

  Moreover, the higher the star rating, the more expensive the cost, depending on the pyer's level.

  Charged by the hour, at Zhang Yi's current level, staying in a one-star room only costs 5 copper coins per hour, while a two-star room costs 30 copper coins per hour... a five-star room costs a whopping 20 silver coins per hour! It's not something ordinary pyers can afford.

  However, for Zhang Yi, who currently has nearly 3 gold coins and will receive a 30 gold coin windfall in a few hours, this expense is nothing.

  So, Zhang Yi checked into a five-star room with the NPC innkeeper and went straight to sleep.

  When he woke up at 11 o'clock, Zhang Yi found that his fatigue had recovered to 100%!

  After paying the 60 silver coin room fee, a fully rejuvenated Zhang Yi left the inn.

  He casually checked the leaderboard and found that during his few hours of rest, other pyers had been climbing desperately. Zhang Yi, who was originally ranked first in the Safe Zone No. 886 leaderboard, had suddenly dropped to several dozen pces behind, with the first pce now being a level 12 First Transition Archer, Storm Angel!

  Fortunately, before sleeping, Zhang Yi had a solid foundation, so he wasn't too far behind now. Even after three hours of inactivity, he still ranked 42nd on the leaderboard.

  Looking at the pyers closely trailing him on the leaderboard, Zhang Yi frowned slightly, "Don't you guys sleep?"

  "Just wait for sudden death! He, tui."

  Perhaps not realizing the seriousness of the situation, Zhang Yi felt that around midnight, a rge number of pyers would suddenly drop dead, not even knowing how they died...

  Checking the time, it was already 11:06, six minutes past the agreed time with Storm Angel. So, Zhang Yi quickly headed to the pce where they had agreed to trade.

  However, upon reaching the street where he had set up his stall in the morning, Storm Angel was nowhere to be seen.

  "Can't wait a few minutes?" Zhang Yi frowned, "Left so soon?"

  "Forget it, I'll come back tonight..."

  Since he had other important matters to attend to, Zhang Yi didn't waste time and went to the town's shop, where he gritted his teeth and spent 1 gold coin on a magic scroll—

  [Detection Scroll]:

  Quality: Normal

  Description: Allows you to view specific data of a target regardless of level difference.

  Magic scrolls are quite rare items in the Apocalypse world, usually single-use. Once used, they're gone. Common scrolls like Detection Scrolls, Return Scrolls, and Buff Scrolls (which increase pyer attributes for a duration) can be bought in shops. Higher quality rare scrolls can only be obtained from treasure chests, quests, or high-level elite monsters, lord monsters, and bosses.

  Scrolls have the same quality cssification as pyer talents: Normal, Fine, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Divine.

  Spending 1 gold coin on a scroll was painful, but you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. This scroll is an essential tool for a major task Zhang Yi is about to undertake. If he succeeds, the rewards he will receive will be worth a hundred or even a thousand times the value of this scroll!

  Just thinking about this "task" made Zhang Yi a bit excited. In his previous life, another pyer completed it first and received a super reward that made countless pyers envious. This time, that super reward must belong to Zhang Yi!

  And this super reward includes an exceptional demonic beast!

  So, Zhang Yi pocketed the [Detection Scroll], opened the mini-map, and marked a location south of Hope Town based on his memory, then headed towards the marked location.

  Just as Zhang Yi was about to leave Hope Town, he suddenly saw a rge group of pyers swarming out of the town.

  Zhang Yi casually grabbed one of them and asked, "Hey, what's going on?"

  The level 10 mage he grabbed hurriedly replied, "Check the Regional Chat Channel! I heard that [King's World] and [Storm Family] are fighting in the woods up ahead! A lot of people have died, and a lot of stuff has dropped. Hurry and grab some equipment!"
