Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Refresh Rules

Zhang Yanhang pulled out a key tied with a red string from his waist bag and used it to unlock the iron lock on the dormitory door. After closing the door and blocking the window for over a week, a strange smell had accumulated in the dormitory. He silently shielded the strange smell with an energy shield, then immediately opened the window to ventilate the room.

"What should I do next? Continue to sleep? No, although I’m still very sleepy, I think I should open a treasure box first." Fearing that he would doze off lying on the bed, Zhang Yanhang decided to open treasure boxes on the desk this time. It was his first time opening treasure boxes outside of the bed, unexpectedly giving him a novel feeling.

Zhang Yanhang poured dozens of treasure boxes from his waist bag onto the table with a clattering noise. Yes, that was all the treasure boxes he had this time, a pitiful amount incomparable to before. He counted them briefly—about fifty or so, far too few.

But the small quantity was actually quite normal, after all, Zhang Yanhang had indeed killed very few monsters this time, only about four hundred in total. That was all that was left in Raccoon City, so that was all he had killed—a perfect example of how a clever wife cannot cook without rice. With no more monsters to hunt, he was in a helpless situation.

After the previous clean-up, Zhang Yanhang estimated that there might only be about two hundred and thirty monsters left in Raccoon City at most now, and most of them were ordinary zombies. Monsters like Prototype Tyrants and Beta-type Hunters seemed to have been completely eradicated.

When Zhang Yanhang was clearing out the sewers earlier, he had only encountered ordinary zombies and Gamma Type Hunters. Beyond that, he had not come across any Lickers, Beta-type Hunters, or Zombie Dogs.

Moreover, having spent so many days in Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang had also figured out some patterns. Although monsters did respawn, stronger monsters took longer to reappear, and most of the respawned monsters were ordinary zombies. Only a small number of them were Zombie Dogs, and as for Lickers? They were non-existent.

If even First Tier Two Stars Lickers were so hard to respawn, then there was no need to mention Beta-type Hunters with First Tier Three Stars strength. After Zhang Yanhang cleaned out the seventy Beta-type Hunters in the Middle Layer and Core Areas of Raccoon City, he never encountered them again outside of the slot machine.

This time, after Zhang Yanhang cleared the Outer Zone, Middle Layer, and Core Area of Raccoon City, with all these above-ground parts emptied, what was left to clear was just Raccoon City’s underground portion—the sewers and the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City branch.

But Zhang Yanhang had already cleared about half of the sewers before, and he figured that the remaining part would take at most a few more hours to finish. As for the Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City branch, being an underground structure, it wasn’t very big either. He estimated that it would take at most three or four hours to clear, then the last step would be to deal with the Lord Monster Tracker.

So, Zhang Yanhang thought that the next time he went to the Ashen World, he should be able to successfully clear the entire Raccoon City and return to the Main World before the Transmission Channel closed.

Among the four hundred or so monsters Zhang Yanhang had killed this time, ordinary zombies still accounted for the highest proportion, with him having killed over two hundred of them, and then he killed sixty to seventy Zombie Dogs.

After that, the numbers of the remaining monsters all fell below fifty. First, the most numerous were the First Tier Three Stars Gamma Type Hunters, which he killed about thirty to forty of. Second were the First Tier Two Stars Lickers, of which he killed around twenty to thirty.

Then came the Second Order One Star strength T-001 Prototype Tyrants. The number of these Prototype Tyrants was crystal clear to Zhang Yanhang—he had killed exactly 27 of them, not one more, not one less, mainly because the process of killing them had been extremely difficult, which made a lasting impression on him.

Next, ranking second to last, were the First Tier Three Stars Gamma Type Hunters, of which he only killed 18. Zhang Yanhang had a clear memory of the Gamma Type Hunters as well. Lastly, at the bottom were the Police Zombies. Even including the ten Police Zombies from the slot machine jackpot, Zhang Yanhang had killed a total of only fifteen.

Before counting the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang first checked his Soul Points balance.

[Soul Points: 12147 (+1987)]

"I actually only gained 1987 Soul Points this time? Not even two thousand..." Although the Soul Points he gained this time were few, Zhang Yanhang could understand why, given that he had killed too few monsters—just over four hundred.

"I originally thought that after upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.10, I could also level up Gun Master and Fighting Master a few times. But now it seems that there certainly won’t be enough Soul points. Just upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.10 requires 12,800 Soul points. The Soul points obtained from treasure boxes will probably only be enough to increase Gun Master or Fighting Master by one or two levels."

After checking the balance of his Soul points, Zhang Yanhang began to tally his treasure boxes.

This time Zhang Yanhang had gathered a total of fifty-five treasure boxes. Apart from the thirty-two provided by Ordinary zombies, the other monsters’ treasure boxes were all in single digits. The Zombie Dogs provided the most with eight treasure boxes, followed by five from the Beta-type Hunters.

The rest didn’t even reach five; the Prototype Tyrant and Lickers dropped three treasure boxes each. Then at the very bottom, the Gamma Type Hunters and Police Zombies each only dropped two treasure boxes.

"I hope this time I can get over six thousand Soul points..." After tallying the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang didn’t rush to open the ones from the Prototype Tyrant. Instead, he picked up a Green treasure box. This was a new treasure box obtained from a Gamma Type Hunter and he was eager to see if it would yield something new.

[Do you wish to open ’Drop treasure box (Gamma Type Hunter)’?]

"Yes, open it." As Zhang Yanhang made his choice, the air in the room, which was solidified due to Time Pause, conveyed a very apparent sense of resistance.

[Please select the specific contents of ’Drop treasure box (Gamma Type Hunter)’]

[Item One: ?]

[Item Two: ?]

[Item Three: ?]

[Item Four: ?]

[Item Five: ?]

"After all, it is a Green treasure box, so logically I should definitely be able to get an item of Blue quality. It’s just that I don’t know what type of item it will be..."

Zhang Yanhang hoped to get something new out of the treasure box from the Gamma Type Hunter. Of course, if there really wasn’t anything new, then getting Yellow Medicine Grass of Blue quality would also be fine. As for items that could raise the Life Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang could never have too many.

[Item One]

[Option One: Blue Medicinal Herbs (three), Quality Blue, Artifact]

[Option Two: Red Medicine Herb (three), Quality Green, Artifact]

[Option Three: Green Medicine Grass (three), Quality Green, Artifact]
