Chapter 163: Chapter 162 Blue Equipment

Zhang Yanhang had originally planned to clean up the sewers of Raccoon City and the Raccoon City branch of the Umbrella company, to see if he could gather the 6400 soul points needed to upgrade Gun Master to LV.9.

Now, it seemed that Zhang Yanhang wouldn’t have to hang himself on the old twisted trees of Raccoon City’s sewers and the Umbrella Raccoon City branch, because he could very likely gather those 6400 soul points right now.

After all, his current balance was already about 3600 soul points; he only needed 2800 more to reach the required amount to upgrade Gun Master to LV.9.

Just from killing monsters, he had already gained more than a thousand soul points. It was impossible for the treasure boxes not to produce three thousand soul points, right? That certainly couldn’t be the case, so Zhang Yanhang should be able to smoothly gather the soul points needed to upgrade Gun Master to LV.9 this time.

After checking his soul point balance, Zhang Yanhang poured a pile of treasure boxes out of his waist bag, intending to count the number next.

Because Zhang Yanhang had only hunted four to five hundred monsters this time, the number of dropped treasure boxes wasn’t much, allowing him to quickly complete the count—there were a mere fifty-one, a steep drop from the hundreds he used to find in Raccoon City, going from three digits down to two.

Although the quantity of treasure boxes had significantly decreased, the quality had indeed improved. Previously in Raccoon City, the treasure boxes most frequently opened came from First Tier Zero Star ordinary zombie monsters.

But this time was different, this time the largest proportion of treasure boxes came from First Tier One Star ordinary monsters, the Crimson Iron Worker Ants, which had dropped forty-nine white treasure boxes.

Although all were white treasure boxes, those dropped by First Tier Zero Star monsters clearly couldn’t compete with the ones from First Tier One Star monsters. The ordinary zombies’ boxes could only yield thirty soul points, while the Crimson Iron Worker Ants’ boxes could produce ninety soul points.

It was for this reason that Zhang Yanhang said the quality of the treasure boxes had increased, after all, one Crimson Iron Worker Ant box was equivalent to three ordinary zombies’ boxes.

The remaining treasure boxes then came from First Tier One Star elite monsters, the Crimson Iron Flying Ants. Although Crimson Iron Flying Ants were also First Tier One Star, the elite quality Crimson Iron Flying Ants dropped Green treasure boxes.

Unfortunately, because Zhang Yanhang had hunted too few Crimson Iron Flying Ants, he only obtained two green treasure boxes this time.

But in a few days, when Zhang Yanhang returned to the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, he was certain to hunt a large number of Crimson Iron Flying Ants and gather a multitude of green treasure boxes, as he was planning to officially execute the previously planned Crimson Iron Ant Nest clearing operation.

By then, even if Zhang Yanhang couldn’t completely clear the entire Ant Nest at once, wiping out the outer zone was certainly no problem, especially with several days available for continuous hunting.

Moreover, by the time Zhang Yanhang visited the Crimson Iron Ant Nest again, he would definitely have successfully killed the Tracker and been promoted to Second Tier.

Once promoted to Second Tier, with the limits on attribute values unlocked, the constraints regarding Zhang Yanhang’s stamina limit would be greatly eliminated.

At that time, Zhang Yanhang might be able to return to an eight-hour work system, that is, working eight hours, resting eight hours, then working another eight hours—a system even more efficient than 996. Having personally experienced it, Zhang Yanhang gave his self-invented work system a very affirmative answer.

Curious about what new things the Green treasure box from the Crimson Iron Flying Ant would yield, Zhang Yanhang directly picked up a green treasure box.

"Would you like to open the ’Drop Treasure Box (Crimson Iron Flying Ant)’?"

"Yes, open." Since the white-quality treasure boxes of Crimson Iron Worker Ants could yield green-quality items, Zhang Yanhang felt it entirely possible that the green-quality treasure boxes from the Crimson Iron Flying Ants could contain blue-quality items.

Although the group leader had criticized such an idea as "wishful thinking," given Zhang Yanhang’s Talent was Multiple Choice, it would have been strange if he hadn’t been able to select high-quality items.

"Please select the specific content from ’Drop Treasure Box (Crimson Iron Flying Ant)’"

"Item One: ?"

"Item Two: ?"

"Item Three: ?"

"Item Four: ?"

"Item Five: ?"

"I got Green Quality Equipment from the treasure box of a Crimson Iron Worker Ant before, I wonder if I can get Blue Quality Equipment from the treasure box of a Crimson Iron Flying Ant..."

Of course, even if it wasn’t equipment, but something else of blue quality, Zhang Yanhang was actually fine with it; he mainly wanted to discover some new items.

Useful or not, as long as it was something new, he felt he could accept it; after all, what’s useless now might not be in the future.

"Item One"

"Option One: Ant Power, Quality E, Talent"

"Option Two: Crimson Iron Worker Ant, Quality E, Talent"

"Option Three: Crimson Iron Flying Ant, Quality E, Talent"

"Huh? The first item is again a Talent? Well, the order doesn’t matter, but is the Talent of the Crimson Iron Flying Ant really on the same level as the Crimson Iron Worker Ant? Just E grade?"

Zhang Yanhang had thought that a stronger Crimson Iron ant like the Flying Ant would have a higher Talent Level, but it turned out to be just E grade.

Though E grade did look a bit low, for the strength of a Crimson Iron Flying Ant, it actually fell within the normal range. He remembered that in Raccoon City, a Licker with a First Tier Two Stars Level only had an E grade Racial Talent, so having only an E grade Talent was quite normal.

Moreover, when he was in Raccoon City, only those at the level of Gamma Type Hunters and Beta Type Hunters had a D grade Talent, and even the Second Order One Star Prototype Tyrant’s Talent Level was just D grade. Thus, Zhang Yanhang guessed, perhaps a First Tier Three Stars strength Crimson Iron Ant might possess a D grade Racial Talent.

Regrettably, to verify this guess, he’d have to wait a few more days until his next visit to the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, as he could only learn the specific Talent Level of a monster from the treasure boxes obtained by killing them.

"By the way, given that I can even obtain Ant Power from the treasure box of a Crimson Iron Flying Ant, I should now be able to gather enough Ant Power to upgrade the Ant Power from D grade to B grade." Zhang Yanhang remembered he needed a total of thirty-four E grade Talent "Ant Power."
