With a gleeful expression, Xin went on to inspect the other rare equipment he had acquired.

? Beast Butcher, Axe (Legendary, requires attunement), given by the NPC Cleaver

This formidable weapon is crafted from the bones, claws, or teeth of a fearsome beast. When wielded, it allowed the user to tap into the wild nature and savage strength of the creature, granting them a 100% critical attack bonus against beasts.

Furthermore, while attuned to this weapon, the user gained a portion of the beast's physical prowess. Their Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution increased by 10%, mirroring that of the beast.

NOTE: Only Swordsman, Tank, and Barbarian classes could wield this powerful axe.

? Binding Crossbow (Very Rare), given by the NPC Talia

This specialized crossbow was designed to fire a unique type of ammunition known as binding shots. While it is large, cumbersome, and heavy, it excelled at ensnaring and immobilizing targets at a shorter range compared to a regular crossbow.

Requirements: +50 Strength

NOTE: Only the Hunters class could wield this exceptional crossbow.

? Tornado Shield (Very Rare), given by the NPC Magnus

This circular shield bore a mesmerizing spiraling swirl etched into its surface. It possessed four charges, and the user could expend one charge to summon a mighty tornado upon a Medium-sized or smaller creature within a range of 50 meters.

Upon activation, the tornado would hurl the target up to 100 meters away to the farthest empty space. The unfortunate creature would suffer additional damage upon impact with the ground.

The shield regains one charge every four hours.

NOTE: Only the Tank class could utilize this impressive shield.

? Whirling Blade (Short Sword, requires attunement, Rare), given by the NPC Cedric

Though it appeared to be a simple blade given to new adventurers, this short sword held a magical secret. Along its length, an engraving in Common read, 'It's dangerous out there alone!'

The elegant glass sculpture of a rose symbolized undying love and affection, a gift that solidified the deepest bond between two people.

To attune to the rose, both partners (the giver and receiver) had to allow a thorn to draw at least a single drop of blood. This unique and permanent attunement bound the rose to them exclusively and rendered it useless for anyone else. The couple became known as "the attuned."

As long as their love remained true, the rose granted the following benefits:

? Shared Sensation: While in physical contact with one another, any damage taken by either of the attuned would be split equally between them.

? Empowered Strength: When within ten meters of each other, both attuned gained +10 to one of their chosen stats.

? Loving Touch: While in physical contact with one another, the attuned healed each other at a rate of 100 HP per minute.

? Enduring Love: If one of the attuned died, their soul would reside within the rose, bypassing any death penalty. The living partner could resurrect their loved one once a day by holding the rose.

? Shared Afterlife: If both partners died, their souls could choose to reside within the rose, avoiding the usual death penalty.

However, if the true love of either or both of the attuned wavered or was lost, the rose's magic would lie dormant, and the rose would turn the color of ash. Only by rekindling true love between the attuned could the magic of the rose be reawakened.

There were various other equipment, items, materials, and potions Xin had acquired, but those books and the once listed above were undoubtedly the best items so far. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic about his luck on Newbie Island.

Additionally, he also obtained several Golden Tools like the Golden Pickaxe, Golden Hammer, and Golden Axe. These tools would greatly enhance his foraging journey, making it a breeze to gather resources and materials.

As night fell, Xin made plans to forage the next day and see what new items he could obtain using the Golden Tools.

The thought of discovering more rare and valuable items filled him with excitement.

Although he hadn't found any replacement for his [Crustacean Carapace], Xin felt content with the treasure he had gathered.

With this, he could steadily pay their debt and buy back the life that they once have.
