Right now, Zach could be found displaying all the items that he was currently using and the items that he wanted to know about on the ground. As the skill cost of using Appraisal has increased, he could only use it 10 times before replenishing them once again by drinking the Spirit Essence inside the Spirit Vial.

"So, it's not bronze-class items but rare items instead. Also, the next level of it might be epic. I can't believe that Evolution Stone and Evolution Crystal are both epic items. What great luck. So, what's next, Legendary Well, there's only one way to find out and that is to hunt stronger monsters in the future." Zach muttered after finally seeing their descriptions. Feeling satisfied, he then started equipping them back and only left behind three items that greatly piqued his attention.
"This poison dagger. Though it had smaller additional attacking power than the others, it had Poison Power which was quite new. This might be more lethal than the others." Zach said while looking at the Poison Dagger in his hand seeing its blade had a different color from the rest.
"And for this. This is really interesting. How does this thing work?" Zach then shifted his attention to the War Pistol and War Bullet in his hand. These things were the items he was very curious about seeing the pistol really didn't have a magazine from which the bullet would be placed.
Curious about how it works, Zach pulled the trigger but there he saw nothing had happened. Doesn't know what to do to make it work, he does a lot of things though he makes sure first to duplicate them, and only after a couple of experiments does he discover something.
...Bang...
Zach pulled the trigger after he aimed the War Pistol at a nearby tree which made him feel only a little surprised to see a hole in it since even the Battle Sword in his inventory could also cut it in half however, he could be found grinning with excitement after finally knowing how the weapon works.
"This is going to be interesting." Zach said as he took out the War Bullet from his inventory and looked seriously at it. He has come to know that the War Bullet doesn't need to be reloaded since the moment he pulls the trigger it will automatically decrease the War Bullet from his inventory.
Zach couldn't help but smile widely since through the use of his system's ability, he would no longer worry about where to find the bullets that it needed as he could just duplicate them endlessly giving him an unlimited supply of ammo.
"Adam. Eve. Let's go and find a beast in the area that we can try these items on." Zach said from which he used Blink and appeared right on top of Adam as he wanted to see just how powerful the War Pistol and Poison Dagger were when used against beasts and the same goes with his newly enhanced skills. With that, the three of them then left the place and headed somewhere.
Time passed by and when night came, Zach returned to Eden together with Adam and Eve triumphantly seeing the former smiling while looking at the place. He has tested the abilities and new items he had and he has to know their power and limitations.
First, the Poison Dagger's poison power was quite lethal in every battle as it would slowly poison the enemy however, the effect wasn't the same for everyone as there were beasts who could resist the poison longer than the others. Also, because of its short range and small size, it can't be fully utilized against beasts that have great defensive power.
Second, the skills Blink and Stealth have greatly boosted Zach's combat ability as both of them were very practical, the downside, however, was the skill cost as it was just too much that it would immediately deplete his Spirit. Even with the Spirit Vial, it would still take some time before he could fill it up once again.
Thirdly, the enhanced Appraisal was very useful as he could now see everything that was question marks before and he really guessed it right that the next class above ordinary is the bronze class. On the other hand, the Beast Affinity also did a great job as it would really make him have a neutral relationship with any beast unless he would do something or the beast was just fierce in nature.
Lastly, would be the War Pistol. Zach was satisfied with it the most as just like how the Battle Sword could kill a beast in one swing given that it hit its vital part of their body, the War Pistol was also the same as it could even one shot a bronze-class monster if it was shot in the head or in its heart.
Furthermore, the War Pistol was very convenient as he could kill even at a far distance however, the item also had its downside. Though he could shoot immediately after firing one which is great, doing so would make the item hot.
Zach counted how many bullets he could shoot before he could no longer endure the heat. At most fifty fast shots were the limit given his Endurance and at most successive hundred and fifty shots if he used them moderately.
Walking along the way, Zach looked at Eden which was very bright as every house inside had lights that brightened the place. Curious about the houses in the surroundings, he casually used Appraisal Skills on them.
[Building: Wooden House
Building Tier: 0
Building Class: Ordinary
Building Description: A simple house created mostly of Tier 0 materials.]
"I can really see it." Zach was surprised upon seeing the description of the house. In fact, he never really knew that it could be appraised so such an idea didn't cross his mind. Seeing that it also has Tiers, he understood that it might change if he made them out of Tier 1 material. The problem now is where to get them since all the things they could buy in the store were all Tier 0.
"Wait. Does appraisal also work on the trees in the area?" Zach suddenly thought of an idea so he immediately looked at the closest tree in the area which was an Apple tree that they had planted before and used Appraisal to it which greatly surprised him to see that it really worked.
[Tree: Mutated Apple Tree
Tree Tier: 1
Tree Class: Ordinary
Tree Description: After the sudden influx of energy, the apple tree went on evolution and mutated to adapt to the current environment.]
"A Tier 1 Mutated Apple Tree. Why it didn't cross my mind before? I never thought that we could use the trees around us however the base was already completed. Also, it would be another work again so let's just let it be for now and wait until I evolve to Tier 2. We will see what will happen then." Zach said while looking at the houses around the base.
With that, Zach then immediately went straight to the headquarters, and before using the portal, he talked to Adam and Eve first to tell them to protect Eden while he was not around. Upon seeing that Zoey was no longer in the Rangers' Office, he then went to the portal and arrived back at Pluto Sanctuary.
Seeing the Rangers around, Zach immediately thought that not every item that they had acquired might have gone to the headquarters' inventory as he could see items in them that he couldn't find back in the headquarters like the helmet, bracelets, and other new items but he wasn't angry about it as he gave them the freedom to used them however they like.
With that, Zach then just greeted those who greeted him before heading straight to his house and there he saw Sophia and Zoey playing a fool with Angel while Shiela and Eun Ae could be found working in the kitchen. Seeing everyone, he couldn't help but smile before joining them which they then had dinner afterward.
