Wang Fan composed himself and spoke politely: "Greetings, sir. You must be the owner of the Fire-Splitting Bow. It is truly a fortunate event that this exchange was achieved."
The mysterious person nodded slightly, her voice clear and melodious, confirming Wang Fan's guess that it was a woman.
"Yes, your Green Wood Fruit does indeed tempt me. However, before we make the deal, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
Wang Fan's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "Please speak, sir. I will tell you everything I know."
The woman slowly stood up and walked to Wang Fan. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Wang Fan could feel her slightly scrutinizing gaze.
"You want this Fire-Splitting Bow, you must be looking to deal with some powerful enemy. Would you mind telling me about it?"
Wang Fan was slightly taken aback. After a brief moment of thought, he decided to tell him, since there was nothing to hide anyway.
Then, he said seriously, "To be honest, my companions and I are about to go to an island where there is a group of guardian beasts that are guarding a spiritual fruit that is extremely important to us."
"This spiritual fruit is related to the recovery of a senior's injuries, so this Fire-Splitting Bow is very helpful to me."
The woman nodded slightly, her figure shifting subtly in the shadows, seemingly agreeing with Wang Fan's answer.
But then he immediately posed another question: "What are your thoughts on other races?"
Wang Fan was taken aback, not expecting her to suddenly ask this.
After a brief moment of thought, he responded frankly: "There are many different kinds of races, so we cannot generalize."
"Some alien races live peacefully with us humans, each thriving and multiplying in their own territories, and even exchanging goods with us."
"But there are also some alien races that are ambitious and attempt to invade our land and plunder our resources, bringing great disasters to humankind."
He paused, then continued with a firm gaze, "However, regardless of the type of alien race we face, I firmly believe that as long as both sides have the will to coexist peacefully, they should try to resolve the issues through communication and cooperation."
"But if the other party insists on provoking a conflict, we must not back down. We will fight back and protect our homeland and loved ones."
The woman listened quietly to Wang Fan's answer, a strange light seeming to flash in her eyes hidden in the shadows.
Her voice remained calm, yet seemed to carry a hint of probing: "If there were a race of other races whose way of life was vastly different from that of humans, and who were also incredibly powerful, what would you choose?"
Wang Fan frowned slightly, fell into a brief moment of contemplation, then raised his head, his gaze firm and sincere, and said, "As long as they have no intention of being enemies with humans and are willing to communicate with an equal and friendly attitude, I will regard them as friends. Every race has its unique characteristics, and differences in survival methods should not be a reason for estrangement."
………………
The woman listened quietly to Wang Fan's answer, a subtle smile playing on her lips beneath the shadows. "It seems you are not a reckless person, and have a clear understanding of the relationships between races."
She gently raised her hand, and the Fire-Splitting Bow, carrying a blazing light, slowly floated towards Wang Fan.
"Take this Firebow. I hope it will be useful when you fight the guardian beast."
Wang Fan quickly took the Fire-Splitting Bow with both hands, feeling the surging power flowing in his palms.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency. I will remember your generous help. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future."
The woman waved her hand, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, leaving only her voice echoing in the secret meeting room: "I hope you can make good use of this bow and put your ideals into practice..."
Wang Fan gripped the Fire-Splitting Bow tightly, staring at the dark corner where the woman had disappeared, his heart filled with doubt.
Why did she suddenly ask about opinions on other races?
Is there some deeper meaning behind this?
Wang Fan pondered every question and every word the woman uttered.
I always felt that she was testing something, but I couldn't figure out her true intentions.
Moreover, anyone who can offer a Tier 5 Firebow in exchange for items to enhance their attributes must be of extraordinary status.
Her appearance was too mysterious, and her disappearance was also without warning, like a fog that lingered in Wang Fan's mind.
But he couldn't investigate too much at the moment, since he had other things to do besides exchanging for the Fire-Splitting Bow.
Wang Fan took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and turned to walk slowly out of the private meeting room.
Back in the VIP room, Wang Fan gently closed the door, walked to the soft spirit bed, slowly sat down, and placed the Fire-Splitting Bow in front of him.
This Fire-Splittering Bow is exquisitely designed. The bow is made of an unknown crimson metal with a finely textured surface that seems to flow with veins of flame.
Wang Fan gently stroked the bow, feeling a slight warmth at his fingertips.
It was a strange temperature full of power and explosiveness, as if a ball of flame, ready to erupt at any moment, was lurking inside the bow.
An irresistible urge surged within him, making him want to immediately test the power of the Fire-Splitting Bow.
So he slowly drew back the bowstring, only to feel a powerful resistance coming from it, as if he were wrestling with a prehistoric beast.
As the bowstring is gradually drawn back, the air around the bow begins to distort.
The intense heat quickly spread, and the temperature in the entire VIP room rose sharply.
Wang Fan could sense that the power contained within the Fire Rift Bow was being continuously unleashed, as if it was about to break through some kind of constraint.
However, he also realized that the VIP room had limited space, and if he were to fire the arrow with all his might, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Wang Fan felt a pang of regret and cursed himself for being too impulsive.
He quickly and slowly released the bowstring, trying to retract the power that had been aroused.
However, this process is extremely difficult, like trying to forcibly reverse a raging flood.
Wang Fan's forehead was covered in sweat, his muscles were tense, and he was exerting all his strength to resist the power within the Fire Rift Bow.
Fortunately, after some effort, he finally succeeded in restraining his power.
The distorted air around the bow gradually returned to normal, and the scorching heat dissipated.
Wang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the Fire-Splitting Bow in his hand with lingering fear. Although this treasure was extremely powerful, it had to be used with utmost caution.
He carefully put the Firebow into his system inventory, deciding to wait until he returned to reality.
Find a spacious and safe place, then study and demonstrate the power of this weapon properly.
At this moment, Wang Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.
Where did the maid who was just standing there go?
I've been busy here for half a day, from getting the Fire-Splitting Bow to almost impulsively trying it out, and I haven't seen a single maid appear during that time.
Wang Fan frowned, but he didn't take it too seriously, since he had already achieved his main purpose for coming to the auction house.
Since the maid was not around, Wang Fan decided to take this opportunity to see if he could find any other useful equipment.
He reopened the system auction house's information directory and quickly browsed through it.
