Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Alchemy Potion

"Upgrading the Power of Swallowing Sheep to A-rank would require a total of eighty-one Ant Powers, but Zhang Yanhang only had seventeen Ant Powers left in hand, so he still needed to obtain sixty-four more Ant Powers to gather the quantity required to elevate the Power of Swallowing Sheep to A-rank."

"After upgrading the B-rank Talent ’Power of Swallowing Sheep,’ Zhang Yanhang opened his Attribute list and took a glance."

"[Strength: 25 (+3[-3])]"

"[Agility: 25 (+3)]"

"[Constitution: 25 (+3[-4])]"

"[Intelligence: 25 (+3[-3])]"

"[Charm: 11 (+3)]"

"The Strength Attribute also finally reached the First Tier Limit. Now, out of the four Main Attributes, Strength, Constitution, and Intelligence had all reached the First Tier Limit. Only the Agility attribute was slightly lacking, with a bare value of only 22 points, still 3 points away from the First Tier Limit."

"It could only be said that after upgrading to B-rank, the Power of Swallowing Sheep did indeed add two points to his Strength Attribute as Zhang Yanhang had anticipated, smoothly enabling it to reach the First Tier Limit. Therefore, since the other three Main Attributes had already reached the First Tier Limit, it was natural that he should deal with the last Agility Attribute next."

"So the question is, how should I increase my Agility Attribute? Where can I find the means to fill these three points?" Facing this dilemma, Zhang Yanhang decided to seek help from the omnipotent Multiple Choice—as in the omnipotent Multiple Choice, not the omnipotent Alchemy.

If Zhang Yanhang’s Alchemy Level had been higher at this point, he might have been able to rely on extracting special powers within monsters to create an Alchemy Potion that could increase his Agility attribute. However, his current skill in Alchemy had not been upgraded at all and was still in its initial state.

Such level of Alchemy was not sufficient to support the development of those advanced potions capable of increasing Attribute values. If he had a recipe, he might have been able to successfully concoct it, but unfortunately, he had no recipes at hand, nor did he have any suitable materials.

Monsters like the Crimson Iron Ant seemed to specialize in Strength and Constitution, with little to do with Agility. It wasn’t likely he could rely on them to concoct Agility-related Alchemy Potions.

You might say that if Zhang Yanhang could capture an Elf Ranger or some such creature in the future, then maybe he could extract their power to create potions that improve Agility. But as for the Crimson Iron Ants, they were truly unsuitable, mainly because Zhang Yanhang’s current Alchemy knowledge was insufficient, leading to his poor research capabilities.

To increase his reserves of Alchemy knowledge, there were currently two methods available: one was learning from books, which was the most orthodox way to increase Alchemy knowledge. But unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang had no Magical Books with Alchemy knowledge, nor any way to obtain such Alchemy Magic Books.

Thus, the only way for Zhang Yanhang to improve his Alchemy knowledge reserve was to use the second method: to upgrade his Alchemy skill. By upgrading Alchemy, the skill itself would automatically endow him with Alchemy knowledge appropriate to the Skill Level.

Generally speaking, the second method was the most convenient and fastest, but unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang was temporarily unable to upgrade.

He had previously asked the Multiple Choice how to upgrade his Alchemy, and the answers were much the same as those for Technique Immunity and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil—upgrade was possible only after advancing to Second Tier. Thus, this issue could only be resolved in a few days.

That meant the evening of October 13th, three days later, at nine o’clock. That was when the Transmission Channel would open next. Just yesterday, Zhang Yanhang had encountered a new Transmission Channel. In the short term, he certainly could not find another new channel. So his next visit to the Ashen World would definitely be to Raccoon City.

Once inside Raccoon City, this time, Zhang Yanhang was determined to thoroughly clear the entire Raccoon City, take down the Lord Monster Tracker, and rely on a 100% completion Ashen Treasure Box to formally advance to Second Tier.

But before his promotion to Second Tier, there was a small problem left to solve—the problem of his Main Agility Attribute, which was still three points short of reaching the twenty-five point First Tier Limit. Regarding this issue, Zhang Yanhang prepared to try and solve it through Multiple Choice.

Zhang Yanhang began to consider his wording: how should he frame his question to improve his Agility Attribute? After all, if Zhang Yanhang wanted Multiple Choice to spontaneously increase his Agility attribute, with his currently meager Energy Value, it would definitely be impossible.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Zhang Yanhang felt that perhaps he could only rely on Multiple Choice to indirectly help him increase his Agility attribute.

After six attempts at posing a question met with no reaction from Multiple Choice, Zhang Yanhang’s seventh question improved his query, "Choice! How should I through a relatively normal channel find an increase in my Agility Attribute?"

No sooner had he spoken the question than Zhang Yanhang felt a distinct damping in the air around him—Time Pause had arrived, and he had successfully triggered the options.

"[Do you wish to obtain an item that increases Agility attribute?]"

"[Option One: Gu Mingyue (Currently, you are three points away from the Agility attribute’s twenty-five point First Tier Limit, but you do not want to miss out on the extra reward that comes with the attribute limit. Just then, you suddenly think of the powerhouse Awakener Gu Mingyue who had entered the Ashen World at the beginning of the Spiritual Qi Recovery.

You think you might seek help from a powerhouse Awakener like Gu Mingyue, to see if she has any way to help you increase your Agility attribute value. You made your request to her at noon today, and she agreed to sell you a Purple Quality Dilophosaurus Potion she obtained from a dinosaur fighting area.)]"

"[Option Two: The Relevant Department (Currently, you are three points away from the Agility attribute’s twenty-five point First Tier Limit, so you desperately want to increase these three points of Agility attribute value. Without any useful solution in mind, you could only wander the streets.

You feel that if you hang around the streets a bit longer, maybe you’ll stumble upon an adventure that can increase your Agility attribute value.

Whether it’s because of your luck or not, when you loitered near the relevant department, you actually sensed the presence of a ripe Spirit Fruit. The location was within the logistical department of the relevant department’s Qin Island City headquarters.)]"

"[Option Three: Give Up Obtaining (Although you really want to quickly increase your Agility attribute value now, to reach twenty-five points before the promotion to Second Tier, after much thought, you still can’t find any good method. Out of desperation, you choose to give up on increasing the Agility attribute value.)]"
