The combination of a one-handed primary weapon and a secondary weapon is usually more flexible than using two-handed weapons.

Especially.

Most equipment of rare rarity or higher will come with a special characteristic.

Carrying an extra piece of equipment grants an extra trait, enriching your combat options.

Unless you encounter an exceptional two-handed weapon with off-the-charts stats.

certainly.

Personal operating habits are also an important factor influencing choices.

Su Bai had played a mage in his previous life, so he was quite familiar with it. Changing to a staff and a puppet actually brought back some of the feeling from before.

[Hint: You have acquired ownership of the rubble grave. Do you wish to destroy this camp immediately?]

A system notification appeared.

This time, the system did not offer the option to occupy the territory.

Because of racial influence,

Some races, such as the undead, demons, and elves, have unique characteristics that require players to acquire unique identities in order to occupy, recruit, and construct corresponding buildings.

Moreover, humans and undead are not friendly.

Even if he were to actually occupy this place, it would cause a significant drop in the morale of the local population, making it a losing proposition.

"destroy."

After checking the gravel in the management interface and finding no hidden items, Su Bai issued the command.

Instantly, the entire mass grave was enveloped in a layer of white light.

Then it fell apart.

[Received: Stones +845!]

[Gained: Blackstone +122!]

[Obtained: Contaminated Death Stone +65!]

[Gained: Metal Ore +77!]

...

Destroying the Stone Grave, the monster's lair, gave Su Bai a large amount of stones.

He originally needed to buy stones because he was short of them.

This will provide enough for the construction needs in the short term.

After the mass graves disappeared.

In the forest, a large area of ​​bare, pale rocks suddenly appeared.

Su Bai's eyebrows twitched slightly. He squatted down, tapped the ground with his hand, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"A small stone quarry?"

The area of ​​rock exposed on the ground is only a little over a hundred square meters.

But considering that this was an island, Su Bai couldn't help but make some guesses.

"Whether it's speculation or not, let the professionals decide."

He immediately realized that he had just recruited a stonemason, so he called Zhao Dazhuang over to explore the site.

The other party's conclusion was consistent with his guess.

Not only that.

Zhao Dazhuang also deduced that there is a high probability of metal deposits underground here.

Su Bai immediately invested resources to build a quarry hut in the area and upgraded it directly to level 3.

A level 3 quarry hut can accommodate 10 workers.

Su Bai appointed Zhao Dazhuang as manager and assigned him nine farmers with mining skills, and they immediately began mining operations.

...

"If the key isn't to unlock the treasure here, then where could it be?"

When the three keys were combined, Su Bai held a small white jade disc in his hand, about the size of a palm, with a simple pattern engraved on its surface, resembling some kind of ancient script.

The instructions for this key provide no information whatsoever.

It seems he'll have to find it himself.

Su Bai racked his brains for a long time but couldn't recall any relevant memories. Perhaps this key was just related to a trivial little opportunity.

After racking his brains without success, he could only put it away for the time being.

Then.

He arrived before the wall of pervasive fog.

Compared to the beginning, the area of ​​the fog wall that has been explored once is much larger, but it still seems boundless.

Su Bai reached out and touched it, as if he were touching a solid wall.

[Note: You have exceeded the level limit for newbie protection. This exploration will directly cancel newbie protection for this area and will be announced in the area (name can be hidden). Do you want to continue?]

[WARNING: Canceling newbie protection will cause the fog in this area to completely dissipate!]

The system issued a series of prompts.

Su Bai was stunned.

He developed so quickly that he almost forgot it was only the second day since the server opened.

New player protection lasts for three days.

The purpose of the newbie protection is not only to prevent other players from detecting them, but also to prevent players from being discovered by local forces too early.

There are three native clans on Dragonfall Island.

Very powerful.

If they discover you early on, you'll have virtually no chance of resistance.

However, Su Bai is no longer afraid, and besides, his development would stagnate if he didn't continue exploring.

As for whether other players will be unlucky...

What does it have to do with him?

He originally intended to dominate this island.

Whether it's Azure Dragon or the Six Luminaries, they will all be his enemies in the future. It's better to eliminate some of them now so that things will be easier later.

"explore!"

"...Hide your name."

Su Bai certainly didn't want to become the target of public criticism.

[Hint: Exploring...]

call!

The surrounding mist suddenly dissipated, and the distance became clear, revealing layer upon layer of mountains, lush forests, and boundless plains... The forest further north of the territory seemed to have been abruptly cut off, becoming empty, and the faint sound of ocean waves crashing against the rocks could be heard in one's ears.

[Announcement: Due to a player (anonymous) exceeding the newbie threshold in this region, newbie protection will soon be lifted. Please be prepared!]

[Announcement: Due to a player (anonymous) exceeding the newbie threshold in this region, newbie protection will soon be lifted. Please be prepared!]

[Announcement: Due to a player (anonymous) exceeding the newbie threshold in this region, newbie protection will soon be lifted. Please be prepared!]

...

The repeated regional announcements interrupted Su Bai's continued observation of the environment.
