"Level 1 Demonbreaker Crossbow! And it's Gold quality."
"I'll take it."
The moment Su Ze saw this Secondary Entry, he didn't hesitate at all.
He immediately chose to add it.
As soon as the process was complete, the crossbow before him transformed.
Its previously dull, iron-gray color began to shimmer with a golden glow, lending it a touch of elegance.
A small golden symbol appeared at the firing groove, resembling a flickering flame.
However, the flame was gold.
"Now this looks much better."
Su Mu stroked the newly upgraded crossbow.
Even the previously coarse texture felt smoother, and it looked a lot more refined.
Holding it in his hands, Su Mu could even sense a faint aura of tranquility emanating from it.
What made Su Mu even happier were the current attributes of this crossbow.
[Name: Demonbreaker Crossbow]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Level: 1]
[Secondary Entry: Level 1 Demonbreaker Crossbow]
[Description: Embrace peace (physically)]
After adding the Secondary Entry, the crossbow's attributes had undergone a dramatic transformation.
An Excellent-grade weapon!
Even opening treasure chests might not yield something this good in this world.
Feeling great, Su Mu opened the system forum.
Everyone in the world channel was discussing the weapons they had just received from their newbie gift pack.
[I got a rapier... do decorative weapons like this really have any damage potential?]
[Could be worse. I got a warhammer. I'm a frail girl, I can't even lift it.]
[You're obviously a burly man pretending to be a girl. Confirmed.]
[You guys think that's bad? I got a throwing dart!]
[That's not too bad. You can pretend to be a ninja.]
[Ninja my ass. Throwing darts are consumables! The starter pack gave me only one!]
[Oof. Rest in peace, brother.]
[I got a fire axe, but it feels kind of weird.]
[The fire axe has a +10% damage bonus against zombies. Don't you guys have that too?]
…
At that point, Su Mu lost interest in reading further.
The guy who got the fire axe was immediately mobbed by everyone on the forum.
"Not all weapons are just for show."
"Some people got lucky and managed to pull weapons with attribute bonuses."
"Those are the truly lucky ones—but out of two billion people, I wonder how many got that kind of luck."
Su Mu figured the number wouldn't be too small.
But not many would openly show off what they pulled.
This was a desolate Apocalypse Era. Anyone could be a potential enemy.
Until you're overwhelmingly powerful, it's better to keep your special weapons a secret.
Even if you did get a fire axe, your personality might not be suited to survive in the Apocalypse Era.
Su Mu might have been a bit envious of such luck before.
But now...
"A three-day protection window from the shelter."
"Perfect—Demonbreaker Crossbow is a ranged weapon."
"Guess I'll stay here and sneak a few shots at Skeletons to test it out."
Taking a deep breath, Su Mu opened the door of the shelter.
Seeing the outside environment for the first time, he frowned.
It was even worse than he had imagined.
There was still a sun in the sky, but everything looked like it had lost its color.
Outside the wooden shelter, the land looked like scorched ash.
Standing under the faint protective shield, Su Mu carefully scanned his surroundings.
The aura of life here clashed starkly with the golden-glinting Demonbreaker Crossbow in his hands.
And it seemed like the moment he appeared, he drew the attention of the monsters.
"Is that... a Skeleton Hound?"
Su Mu stared at the creature crawling out of the barren wasteland.
The scene was hideously grotesque—scattered bones reforming on the ground.
They reshaped into the form of a dog.
Only this Skeleton Hound was as large as a goat.
As Su Mu observed it, a set of data appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Skeleton Hound]
[Level: 3]
[Traits: Bite, Pounce]
[Description: Newbie Slayer]
Once the Skeleton Hound noticed Su Mu, it immediately lunged toward him.
Since it was made entirely of bones, it wasn't very fast.
And with the protective field still active, it rammed straight into the barrier.
Watching the shield ripple like water, Su Mu realized this Skeleton Hound wasn't just some pushover.
But with the protection still in place, Su Mu was absolutely safe.
He could even camp inside and fire at enemies from a distance.
"Hunting like this isn't hard at all."
Su Mu aimed at the Skeleton Hound's spine and pulled the trigger on his crossbow.
The golden bolt shot out like a flash and pierced into the Skeleton Hound.
The creature's body instantly began emitting black smoke before collapsing into a pile of bones on the scorched earth.
"That was an instant kill?"
Su Mu stared at the vanishing Skeleton Hound in surprise.
This thing was labeled a "Newbie Slayer" by the system, after all.
But against the Demonbreaker Crossbow, it crumpled like paper.
"So, this is the power of an Excellent-grade weapon?"
Su Mu lovingly stroked his Demonbreaker Crossbow again.
Not only did it have incredible firepower, it also let him hunt safely from within protected zones.
That sense of security skyrocketed.
Walking over, Su Mu could still see the remains of the Skeleton Hound.
The bolt had gone clean through it.
Golden flames danced around the shattered area,
but when Su Mu touched them, they weren't hot at all.
After the Skeleton Hound was destroyed, its bones seemed to have become a special drop.
[Purified Bone]
[A possible drop after defeating a Skeleton Hound]
"A random drop?"
"But why does it feel like it's guaranteed for me?"
"Could it be because of the purification effect?"
Su Mu wasn't yet sure whether it had something to do with the Demonbreaker Crossbow,
but the next line in the item description caught his full attention:
[Absorbing the bone marrow can enhance the shelter owner's physical strength.]
Well then.
Looks like today's lunch is going to be bone soup.
