Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Defense Coin (Seeking First Subscription)

"With 19,027 Soul points, after upgrading Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.10, I should still be able to upgrade Gun Master or Fighting Master by about two levels," Zhang Yanhang calculated after checking his remaining Soul points balance and began taking stock of other gains.

First came the earnings from Talent, where Zhang Yanhang had opened a total of 53 E-tier Talents this time, finally managing to just barely reduce the number of Incomplete Talents from three digits down to two.

Previously, Zhang Yanhang was short of 152 Slow Corrosion Talents. Now, with the addition of these 53 Slow Corrosion Talents, he had a total of 630 Slow Corrosion Talents in hand, lacking only 99 more to upgrade to the S-tier Talent ’Chunling Endless.’ The deficit was still considerable; after all, 729 Slow Corrosion Talents was a really large number, and it would be normal not to be able to gather them all.

After taking inventory of the Talents, Zhang Yanhang started counting the gains from Equipment, the most important of which was the purple quality Coin Fragments obtained from the Treasure box of the Prototype Tyrant. There were three such Treasure boxes from the Prototype Tyrant, and Zhang Yanhang had managed to open a total of six defensive coin shards and three Attack Coin shards.

Indeed, fortunately, this time Zhang Yanhang only got shards for Attack Coins and Defense Coins, with no other types of coin shards, which indeed was what he had hoped for.

Adding to his previous collection of six Defense Coin shards and six Attack Coin shards, Zhang Yanhang now had a total of twelve Defense Coin shards and nine Attack Coin shards.

With the count of Defense Coin shards in Zhang Yanhang’s possession exceeding ten, it meant that he finally could synthesize a complete Defense Coin, but regrettably, he was just one shard short of being able to synthesize an Attack Coin.

But that one shard, who knows how long it would take to get, especially since Zhang Yanhang had already wiped out all fifty of the Prototype Tyrants in Raccoon City. Now, only the slot machine’s jackpot continued to refresh Prototype Tyrants, but with the slot machine only refreshing one per day, only God knows when he would be able to collect all the shards for that Attack Coin.

After gathering all the Defense Coin shards, Zhang Yanhang immediately synthesized a Defense Coin and checked its Attribute list.

[Defense Coin]

[Quality: Dark Purple]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Raccoon City, Umbrella company base, Logistics storage room.]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Defensive power: 50]

[Special Attribute: When subjected to Physical Attack, it fixedly reduces 25 points of Physical damage and is immune to attacks that deal less than 25 points of Physical damage.]

[Usage requirements: Constitution must be lower than 75 points.]

[Score: 210 (Dark Purple Quality items are scored from 151 to 260.)]

[Synopsis: Official cheat, the deadliest! —From an anonymous figure from another dimension ██████]

"This is way too strong, isn’t it? A fixed reduction of 25 points of physical damage and immunity to physical attacks below 25 points? If I pair this with my Energy Shield, won’t I immediately shoot up?"

When the Beta-type Hunter, with its First Tier Three Stars strength, struck Zhang Yanhang with its deformed right arm, his Energy Shield would probably lose about a dozen Shield Points. But with this, any future damage below 25 Shield Points, Zhang Yanhang could completely ignore, no longer needing to worry about any ’death by a thousand cuts’ scenarios.

"As expected of Dark Purple Quality equipment, its strength is exponentially greater compared to Green equipment and the like." After finishing reading the attributes list of the Defense Coin, Zhang Yanhang researched how to equip it.

Then Zhang Yanhang realized whether he held it in his hand, put it in his pocket, or even in his Waist Bag, it could still provide the same enhancement effect.

"Isn’t this a bit too convenient?"

Zhang Yanhang felt that the reason this item’s equipping method was so flexible likely had little to do with its Dark Purple Quality, but more to do with its form of existence. After all, a coin isn’t like clothing that has to be worn in a specific place; you just need to keep it somewhere, which is why it’s so liberating in this aspect.

Apart from the Defense Coin, Zhang Yanhang also obtained two new Waist Bags and four set parts of Raccoon City standard police uniforms.

Zhang Yanhang fused the two new Waist Bags into one Waist Bag+1. After the fusion, he now had a total of four Waist Bag+4s, one Waist Bag+3, one Waist Bag+2, and one Waist Bag+1. Therefore, if he could get another Waist Bag+1, then he would have five Waist Bag+4s.

After organizing his equipment, Zhang Yanhang continued to tally his artifacts. This time, from the ordinary zombie’s Treasure Box, he looted 48 stalks of Green Medicine Herbs and 45 stalks of Red Medicine Herbs, then from the Zombie Dog’s Treasure Box, he looted 8 Emergency Sprays.

Next came the most crucial part where he looted 13 stalks of Yellow Medicine Grass from the Licker and Beta-type Hunter’s Treasure Boxes, and finally, 6 stalks of Blue Medicinal Herbs from the Gamma Type Hunter’s Treasure Box.

Regarding the synthesis of Blue Medicinal Herbs, Zhang Yanhang planned to deal with that later. For now, he decided to refine some Red and Yellow Pills first. With thirteen stalks of Yellow Medicine Grass, he could increase his Life Value Limit by another seventy or eighty points.

After spending a bit of time, Zhang Yanhang refined all thirteen Red and Yellow Pills in one go. Last time it took him two rounds to refine twenty-five Red and Yellow Pills, but this time the quantity was halved, so he finished in one round.

After refining the Red and Yellow Pills, Zhang Yanhang ate them all in one go and then checked his current Life Value Limit.

[Shield Value: 1202/1202 (Life Value Limit × 150%, Recovery Speed: 20% per second.)]

[Life Value: 801/801 (Constitution × 15, the body has now officially been digitalized, Life Value Recovery Speed, 5 points per hour.)]

[Energy Value: 250/250 (Intelligence × 10, the body has now officially been digitalized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 15 points per hour.)]

"With an additional 78 points in the Life Value Limit and 117 points in the Shield Value Limit, it’s a pity there probably won’t be such good fortune in the future." Currently, Zhang Yanhang was very close to completely clearing out Raccoon City, so he probably wouldn’t be able to collect Yellow Medicine Grass in such large quantities anymore.

The monsters capable of dropping Yellow Medicine Grass in Raccoon City were only two kinds. The Beta-type Hunter, with First Tier Three Stars strength, had been completely exterminated by Zhang Yanhang. As for the First Tier Two Stars Licker, although not entirely wiped out, the remaining Lickers in Raccoon City were probably in single digits and may not even make up one Treasure Box.

Hence, Zhang Yanhang could no longer rely on these two monsters. If he wanted to continue obtaining Yellow Medicine Grass in the future, he could only turn to the Slot Machine, which refreshed twenty-four Lickers daily. According to the drop rate, he could average about three Treasure Boxes a day.
