Ashen God-Chapter 1038 - 1037: Luck Value Increased!
After upgrading the profession level of Heavenly Destiny Master, Zhang Yanhang quickly checked his level panel again.
[Name: Zhang Yanhang (Fifth Tier)]
[Race: Human]
[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]
[Level: LV.47 (0/35000000)]
[Soul Points: 7460800 (-30000000)]
"I originally had thirty-seven million soul points, but now because I upgraded the profession level of Heavenly Destiny Master to LV.47, consuming thirty million soul points, I only have the remainder of seven million four hundred sixty thousand soul points left."
Thus, the soul points Zhang Yanhang obtained from clearing the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano and the Small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu before were indeed completely unused.
"Since I've already spent the soul points and upgraded the profession level, let's check some other related gains next."
Zhang Yanhang opened a total of seven hundred twenty-three drop treasure boxes, and making choices consumed seven hundred twenty-three points of energy value for him. Thus, after his verification, indeed, opening a box only consumes one energy value—a surprisingly good deal.
Zhang Yanhang had prepared to use up a huge amount of energy value to open multiple treasure boxes simultaneously, but didn't expect that the consumption of energy value wouldn't even surpass his automatic recovery rate. After all, he now recovers six to seven hundred points of energy value per second, so this consumption is only slightly more than his recovery rate per second.
In terms of drop treasure box gains, firstly, it's about the talent gains. This time Zhang Yanhang opened ninety-one E-level talents [Ant Power] and six hundred thirty-two C-level talents [Mystic Steed Power].
But for these talents, Ant Power and Mystic Steed Power, Zhang Yanhang isn't particularly concerned. After all, his XX-level talent [Longbo's Power] would require consuming more than six thousand C-level talent Mystic Steed Power to continue upgrading.
And his total inventory only has more than two hundred, even adding in the newly acquired part, it's still under one thousand. It's far from upgrading, so there's no need to think about upgrading.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang checked the subsequent equipment gains. Regarding equipment gains, firstly from the Crimson Iron Worker Ant and Crimson Iron Flying Ant are the Crimson Iron Ring and Crimson Iron Heart Necklace.
But Zhang Yanhang already eliminated the Crimson Iron Ring at the Fourth Tier, and the Crimson Iron Heart Necklace was also completely eliminated just now, so now these Crimson Iron Rings and Crimson Iron Heart Necklaces are of no use to Zhang Yanhang.
But over the years, there's some sentiment attached, so Zhang Yanhang didn't throw them away directly but kept them.
Next are the drop gains from the Crimson Iron Destruction Ant, which are four hundred two Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, but unfortunately, advancing to golden quality requires eight Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +6, requiring 512 Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks.
But besides this newly opened part of Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, Zhang Yanhang has no other ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, only one recently worn Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +6 on his fifth head.
But this counts as only sixty-four ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, adding in the newly opened part it's merely 466 ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, still a certain deficiency from collecting 512 Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks.
So, this newly opened part of Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks is also useless, unable to be upgraded to golden quality.
Finally, from the Crimson Iron Flame Ant's drop gains, this time he opened a total of two hundred thirty Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws.
Compared to Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks, it requires fewer amounts for Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws to breakthrough limits. He previously had a total of one ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw, one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +2, one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +3, and one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +4, collectively equivalent to twenty-nine ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws.
Adding the newly opened part of two hundred thirty Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws makes it a total of two hundred fifty-nine Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws.
According to Zhang Yanhang's past experience, breaking through limits to fuse into golden quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw requires eight Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +5, equivalent to two hundred fifty-six Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws; now what he possesses is just enough, with three extra.
Thus, Zhang Yanhang immediately manipulated alchemy to fuse them.
It must be said that since upgrading to the Fifth Tier Truth Alchemy, Zhang Yanhang's limit breaking speed greatly accelerated. Previously, breaking through the limit required ten minutes, now it's directly reduced by half, only needing five minutes to fuse a golden quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6.
Gazing at the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6 flashing with golden light before him, Zhang Yanhang glanced at its attribute list.
[Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6]
[Quality: Golden]
[Type: Equipment]
[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano, Zhang Yanhang.]
[Durability: 65/65]
[Defensive Power: 45]
[Additional Attributes: Critical Strike Damage +50%.]
[Usage Requirement: Agility 55 points.]
[Score: 380 (Golden item score ranges from 351 to 440.)]
[Introduction: After retreating into the mountains and honing his skills for a period, the Nameless Blacksmith gradually started feeling bored. Everyday completing the cycle of gathering materials, forging items, and summing up experiences indeed seems fulfilling due to the fast progress in forging techniques, yet undeniably monotonous...]
"It's still the familiar feeling, enhancing my critical strike damage by fifty percent, but regretfully, I cannot use it now."
Because having temporarily only five heads and eight arms without upgrading Eight Arms and Eight Feet to grow new limbs, although Zhang Yanhang can directly use the golden quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +7, the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6 cannot be used. After all, his eight arms are already equipped with Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +6.
Luckily it's not a big issue; once he upgrades and grows new arms with Eight Arms and Eight Feet, he can use this golden quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +6.
Zhang Yanhang estimates that he should upgrade the Three-Headed Six-Armed Skill to Eight Arms and Eight Feet LV.MAX status after clearing that Fifth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel.
And the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw is Zhang Yanhang's last gain. After clearing all the treasure box gains, Zhang Yanhang feels there's not much else for him to do, or rather, the tasks at the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu and the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano have all been resolved.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang feels he can directly return to the Main World to continue capturing ghosts.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang tidied up the items on the ground and then immediately teleported away, first to the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, and then through its transmission channel back to the Main World.
...
November 3rd, Tuesday, the day after Halloween, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 11:20 PM, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Apartment 505, Bedroom.
After emerging from the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, Zhang Yanhang has tirelessly been capturing ghosts. After a long duration, the number of ghosts he captured has reached as high as twenty thousand, almost capturing all the ghosts in the entire surrounding province.
Zhang Yanhang estimates that this level of ghost quantity should be enough for him to extend his remaining lifespan, so he directly stopped and returned home to rest.
Of course, rest is only after extending lifespan, without increasing his lifespan he truly feels uncomfortable.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang immediately began refining the true Wise Man's Stone in his Stomach Space. After half an hour, he successfully transformed the over twenty thousand ghosts stored in the Stomach Space into Soul Power, and subsequently refined them into the Wise Man's Stone.
As expected, this time the Wise Man's Stone was unprecedentedly large, almost the size of a fist, but Zhang Yanhang didn't intend to take it out to admire, instead immediately allowing the Stomach Space to start absorbing it.
After several seconds, the Wise Man's Stone was smoothly absorbed, and Zhang Yanhang's physical stature increased by seventy-three centimeters.
Of course, compared to size, Zhang Yanhang is more concerned about the growth of lifespan, so he immediately opened his XXX level Talent [Infinite Life] to check.
[Infinite Life]
[Quality: XXX (0/177147)]
[Ability One: Unwearied—Constitution +19.]
[Ability Two: Energetic—Physical Strength +760%.]
[Ability Three: Longevity—Lifespan +500 years +20 years ×125[Constitution]=3000 years.]
[Ability Four: Source and Flow—When remaining lifespan is greater than 1000 years[currently 10643 years (+2373 years)], increase 10643 years(lifespan) ×0.2%=2129%(+475%) Attack Power, increase 10643 years(lifespan) ×0.2%=2129%(+475%) defensive power.]
[Ability Five: Heavenly Mandate—Luck +1, when remaining lifespan is greater than 10000 years[currently 10643 years (+2373 years)], every 10000 years of lifespan adds 1 point Luck, currently additional Luck bonus is [+1].]
"Initially, I only had a total of 8270 years of lifespan, but now I've directly increased it by 2373 years, raising my lifespan limit to 10643 years, finally successfully breaking through to ten thousand years of lifespan."
Zhang Yanhang also saw that the Luck bonus behind Ability Five Heavenly Mandate finally changed from the original '0' to '+1', achieving a breakthrough from zero, but in the short term, it can only maintain at this level, because to increase the next point of Luck bonus again, he needs another ten thousand years of lifespan.
And currently, he is still short of 9357 years of lifespan for the next ten thousand years, meaning he needs more than ninety thousand ghosts to increase it, which with his current capture efficiency would take nearly three days to achieve, and two days later he has to clear the new area in Ashen World, it's simply impossible to gather.
Thus, Zhang Yanhang temporarily doesn't bother with it, and although it's said to be two days, it might be less than a day and a half, since the day after tomorrow he needs to clear the new area and also clear the permanent teleportation channel, there's simply not enough time to capture ghosts.
And since it's not feasible to gather, Zhang Yanhang doesn't bother, especially since after he promotes to the Sixth Tier, his capture efficiency will improve at least five times, perhaps achieving a ten thousand year lifespan increase in a day then, truly no need to insist on it now, it's an unnecessary effort.
"And with the increase in lifespan limit, the related bonus provided by Ability Four Source and Flow has again significantly increased, already rising from the previous 1654% Attack Power bonus and defense bonus to 2129% Attack Power bonus and defense, equating to a total improvement of 475% Attack Power bonus and defense."
Taking into account other Attack Power bonuses, Zhang Yanhang can now achieve twenty-four times Attack Power with each Normal attack, which is the level of super high bonus required for him to achieve cross-tier slaying of enemies, considering a tier difference can easily account for a more than ten times disparity.
After checking lifespan, Zhang Yanhang again opened his Attribute list to review, this being the countless time he opened the Attribute list today.
[Strength: 125 (+3[-2])]
[Agility: 125 (+3[-1])]
[Constitution: 125 (+3[-2])]
[Intelligence: 125 (+3[-3])]
[Charm: 125 (+2[-6])]
[Luck: ???[+6] (This attribute is a Hidden Attribute)]
"Originally I only had a five-point Luck bonus, but now it has increased by another point, becoming a six-point Luck attribute value bonus."
According to Zhang Yanhang's past experience, this point of Luck should once again help him increase some of the treasure box drop rates, like how those First Tier Monsters that required killing forty-five to drop one treasure box now should only require killing forty-four.
And for Same Tier Monsters, using Fifth Tier Monsters as an example, he originally needed to kill a maximum of 7.5 monsters to drop one treasure box, but including this point of Luck bonus, it will be reduced to a maximum of seven monsters to drop one treasure box, which is really useful for him clearing the new area.
After finally extending lifespan to ten thousand years, Zhang Yanhang feels he has little else to do, although not entirely without things to do, today while capturing ghosts he actually freeloaded two mysterious encounters again.
And perhaps because today's Multiple Choice was really considerate, these two encounters again granted him Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could enhance the energy value limit, and each time he acquired four Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could increase the energy value limit, meaning each encounter had two options for enhancing the energy value limit.
Regarding this occurrence, Zhang Yanhang feels it's likely that Multiple Choice found out he is really lacking in energy value limit right now, although whether this situation will persist remains unknown, if it can, Zhang Yanhang even hopes that Multiple Choice will transform all future encounters into Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can enhance energy value limit.
