Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Perception Range Increase

"Forget it, I’d better just upgrade my skill directly. Choose! Skill level enhancement!" Although he didn’t have enough soul points, Zhang Yanhang still wanted to upgrade the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill.

[Would you like to enhance the skill level?]

[Option One: ’Gun Master LV.6’ to be enhanced to ’Gun Master LV.7’ (costs 1600 soul points.)]

[Option Two: ’Fighting Master LV.6’ to be enhanced to ’Fighting Master LV.7’ (costs 1600 soul points.)]

[Option Three: ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.6’ to be enhanced to ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.7’ (costs 1600 soul points.)]

[Option Four: ’Technique Immunity Skill LV.MAX’ to be enhanced to ’???’ (not upgradable)]

[Option Five: ’Limitless Universe Skill LV.MAX’ to be enhanced to ??? (not upgradable)]

[Option Six: ’Alchemy [Incomplete]’ to be enhanced to ??? (not upgradable)]

"I choose Option Three, to enhance the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill to LV.7." Because he had already made a skill upgrade plan beforehand, Zhang Yanhang didn’t hesitate to directly select the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill.

...

After the upgrade of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill was complete, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the skill effects of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.

[Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.9 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +22.5% (+7.5%)]

[Active Effect: Detect the location of enemies within the perception range, and to some extent, predict the enemies’ next attack. Current perception range is 2250 (+750) +25×25 (Intelligence) = 2875 meters (+750 meters). No cooldown, consumes minimal physical strength.]

[Additional Attribute: Skillful—You can now adeptly control Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil. You can freely adjust the coverage of your perception, and fully grasp the outlines of enemies within your perception range.]

"I’ve gained another 750 meters of perception range, bringing the total to 2875 meters. I estimate that when Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil is upgraded to LV.10, the perception range should be able to increase to over three thousand meters."

Three thousand meters, what does that mean? A normal person, even when running, would need at least ten minutes to cover such a distance.

Here’s an example closer to daily life: in the future, when Zhang Yanhang orders from close-by takeouts, he can directly use Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to monitor the restaurant and the delivery person to prevent them from committing illegal acts like frying food with gutter oil or spitting into the food container.

"I really want to upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.10 right now, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough soul points." Zhang Yanhang said, as he opened his soul point balance.

[Soul Points: 10160 (-11200)]

"So, here comes the question, since I can’t upgrade the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill, what should I do with these remaining ten thousand plus soul points? Use them to upgrade Gun Master and Fighting Master skills?"

Zhang Yanhang thought for a moment. His previous skill upgrade plan was first to upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.10 to unlock its second additional attribute, and then to upgrade Gun Master and Fighting Master. Therefore, he chose to continue executing this plan.

"Since the priority is to upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, I’ll keep these soul points for now. After I clear the Core Area, I should be able to gather more than two thousand missing soul points. Then, I can directly upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.10 and use the remaining points to upgrade Gun Master and Fighting Master."

Zhang Yanhang felt that since he had made a plan, he should execute it well; he had always done so. For instance, when he was clearing the Outer Zone and the Middle Layer of Raccoon City, he had made a plan for each and strictly followed it. It was precisely by sticking to the plan that he was able to maintain such an efficient clearing speed.

"This time is rare; I didn’t spend all my soul points. In the past, I’d always use up all my soul points before stopping skill and level upgrades."

The reason Zhang Yanhang chose to save his soul points, apart from wanting to stick to his upgrade plan, was also because he felt that if he used them now, it might be difficult to gather another ten thousand plus soul points in a short time to upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, especially since he was nearly done clearing the entire Raccoon City.

Even if he wiped out all the Prototype Tyrants, Beta-type Hunters, Gamma Type Hunters, Lickers, Zombie Dogs, and Ordinary Zombies left in Raccoon City, he estimated that it would still not add up to ten thousand Soul points. By then, the situation would be quite awkward.

After organizing the loot from the treasure box, Zhang Yanhang opened the data panel and took a look.

"If I want to continue to quickly increase my strength, it seems that I still need to advance in rank," Zhang Yanhang muttered to himself, "but now I only have 12 hours left. Cleaning up the sewers is going to be tough, let alone clearing out the Umbrella company and taking down the Tracker."

Zhang Yanhang initially thought that he would be able to advance to the Second Tier quite smoothly this time, but unexpectedly, the difficulty of the Middle Layer was completely different from the Outer Zone, and the difficulty of the Core Area had risen to a whole new level. Therefore, it was most likely that he wouldn’t be able to advance to the Second Tier this time.

"After all, it is a significant event to advance in rank, so it is quite normal to not be able to complete it in one go," Zhang Yanhang felt that the next time he came to Ashen World, he would definitely be able to advance to the Second Tier. But this time, he truly didn’t have enough time.

As for choosing not to return to the Main World when the teleportation channel opens later, just like before? That was not an option.

Zhang Yanhang had already been working overtime for four days straight; he really didn’t want to stay in this Ashen World any longer. Not only was it oppressive, but there was also no food to eat and no recreational activities to entertain him or alleviate stress.
