Ashen God
Chapter 117: Lord Monster

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Lord Monster

"This time I pretty much wiped out over three thousand monsters, increasing the completion by 47.6%, not bad at all," Zhang Yanhang affirmed, naturally wanting to recognize the results of his several tens of hours of labor.

"But even though I have already wiped out so many monsters, exceeding the required number for each species except for the Gamma Type Hunter, how come I only achieved a 90.6% completion rate? Does this mean the Tracker, as a Lord Monster, accounts for over 10% in the completion percentage?"

After a quick calculation, Zhang Yanhang realized that he had killed about eight thousand monsters in Raccoon City, but yet his completion rate had only just reached ninety percent, which suggested that the Tracker Lord Monster was almost equivalent to nearly a thousand Ordinary Monsters.

"Isn’t that a bit absurd? If we’re going by this calculation, just how strong is the Tracker supposed to be? Or is there some special bonus for Lord Monsters in this regard?"

While it seemed ridiculous, Zhang Yanhang could understand it since the Tracker was a map BOSS. Since it was a BOSS, such circumstances were quite normal, considering that in games the boss typically is the most crucial part and offers the greatest benefits to the player. He guessed that Ashen World probably worked similarly in this aspect.

"Previously at 43% completion the Evaluation Level was B-, now at 90% completion it’s S+. Just how is this Evaluation Level calculated? There’s only one A-grade between B and S grades, yet there’s a 47% difference in completion rates... Anyway, I’m aiming for 100% completion, so the intermediate grades don’t mean much to me."

Regarding this matter, Zhang Yanhang planned to ask the other Awakeners in the group after returning to the Main World. They surely must know about this; in fact, he had wanted to ask the group about Ashen World before, but because he had always been a bit lazy, he kept putting it off, and eventually, he simply forgot about it.

But this time it was different. After he returned this time, he was certainly going to ask about all sorts of things concerning Ashen World. He had now accumulated quite a lot of questions.

...

After ten minutes of running, Zhang Yanhang successfully returned to Dulda Apartment unit 301. As soon as he laid back on the dilapidated wooden bed, he immediately sprawled out in the shape of a big character, no longer wanting to move at all. He was truly exhausted.

About a minute of lying down later, Zhang Yanhang caught a glimpse of the Slot machine from the corner of his eye and suddenly remembered that today’s machine had already refreshed, and he hadn’t yet cleared out the prize pool, "That won’t do, even though it’s just a hundred monsters, I can’t waste it, guess I have to push myself a bit more."

Zhang Yanhang glanced at the time on his watch—there was about a quarter of an hour left, which should be enough to clear the prize pool without missing the last chance to return to the Main World because of it.

Called by the duties of his work, Zhang Yanhang, who was just a moment ago overcome with fatigue, promptly got up from the old wooden bed.

Speaking of the old wooden bed, he had recently often been making modifications for comfort before and after sleeping. It had reached a point where it was only slightly less comfortable than his bed in the Main World. So, with the current comfort level of the old wooden bed, it was only through sheer willpower that Zhang Yanhang managed to fight the urge to sleep and climb out of it.

After getting up from the bed, Zhang Yanhang skillfully carried the Slot machine and brought it to the side of the expanded pit, and then he began to pull the metal lever expressionlessly.

"Looks like the Gamma Type Hunter was refreshed after all, seems like the Slot machine really does refresh the prize pool according to my clearing progress."

Since there were changes in the prize pool, Zhang Yanhang recounted the distribution of monsters in the prize pool this time and found that there were not many changes. Only two Gamma Type Hunters were added; the numbers of Prototype Tyrants and Beta-type Hunters had not changed.

The Prototype Tyrant and Beta-type Hunter, which Zhang Yanhang valued the most, still remained at one and three, respectively. The numbers of Lickers and Zombie Dogs had also not changed, remaining at twenty-four, and even the number of Ordinary Zombies remained unchanged at thirty-six.

Thus, only after the Police Zombie world was completed did the number of any monster change—the quantity of Police Zombies had decreased from twelve to ten.

"So, I choose Option Thirty-seven, Worker Zombie." Zhang Yanhang didn’t usually clear the prize pool in order, he often eradicated Zombies progressively, such as starting by clearing Ordinary Zombies as a base, and then moving on to other more formidable Zombies.

For example, this time, Zhang Yanhang would first take out the Ordinary Zombies, then the Prototype Tyrant, followed by the Beta-type Hunter and Gamma Type Hunter, and next would come the Lickers and Zombie Dogs, with the Police Zombies last.

Of course, this order wasn’t truly significant; Zhang Yanhang simply wanted to do things this way. It wouldn’t significantly increase the speed or efficiency of the clearing, but if there was a mix of different types of Zombies in the pit at the same time, it would reduce the efficiency of the clearing. That’s why Zhang Yanhang preferred to group the same types of Zombies together for clearing.

Although it might not enhance the efficiency of clearing, at least it wouldn’t decrease it. That was enough, and after several days in a row of clearing the Slot machine prize pool, this method had almost become a habit for Zhang Yanhang.

...

Ten minutes later, Zhang Yanhang successfully cleared the hundred monsters in the Slot machine prize pool. Regrettably, the Prototype Tyrant in the prize pool still did not drop a treasure box this time, but for some unknown reason, one of the two Gamma Type Hunters dropped a Green treasure box.
