Chapter 171: Chapter 170 [Gun Master LV.9]

After gaining so much acid resistance, Zhang Yanhang found that while cleaning the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, even if he encountered Second Tier Crimson Iron Ants, he might be able to ignore their ant acid just like he did before with the Crimson Iron Worker Ants and the Crimson Iron Flying Ants.

After sorting out his equipment, Zhang Yanhang checked his Attribute list.

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

[Agility: 25 (+3)]

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

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

[Charm: 15 (+7)]

"With the boost from the equipment, the Charm attribute has finally climbed to fifteen points. The average adult has a Charm attribute of five points. Does that mean I am now at least three times more handsome than the average adult male?"

Zhang Yanhang felt this could not be so simply calculated because Charm included many things like personal charisma and verbal charm, not purely quantifying physical appearance.

"Never mind, since everything from the Treasure box is sorted, it’s time to upgrade a Skill. Choose! Enhance Skill Level." This time, Zhang Yanhang wanted to upgrade Gun Master to LV.9, which would make his battle with the Lord Monster Tracker a bit easier.

[Do you want to enhance the Skill Level?]

[Option One: ’Gun Master LV.8’ upgrade to ’Gun Master LV.9’ (requires 6400 Soul points).]

[Option Two: ’Fighting Master LV.6’ upgrade to ’Fighting Master LV.7’ (requires 1600 Soul points).]

[Option Three: ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.MAX’ upgrade to ’???’ (cannot be enhanced)]

[Option Four: ’Technique Immunity LV.MAX’ upgrade to ’???’ (cannot be enhanced)]

[Option Five: ’Limitless Universe Skill LV.MAX’ upgrade to ’???’ (cannot be enhanced)]

[Option Six: ’Alchemy [Incomplete]’ upgrade to ’???’ (cannot be enhanced)]

"I choose Option One to raise the Gun Master Skill Level to LV.9."

Although the remaining Soul points after upgrading Gun Master LV.9 were enough to raise Fighting Master by one level, Zhang Yanhang still decided to keep the Soul points for prioritizing Gun Master until it was upgraded to LV.MAX before starting on Fighting Master.

Since Zhang Yanhang had already planned his upgrade path, naturally, he had to execute it properly.

After upgrading the Skill Level, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the effects of Gun Master.

[Gun Master LV.9 (Passive)]

[Skill Effect: Increases Remote Attack Power by 90% (+10%), enhances gun and related ranged combat proficiency.]

[Additional Attributes: Remote Attack Power +20%.]

"Just one level away from reaching LV.MAX, but unfortunately, upgrading Gun Master to LV.MAX requires twelve thousand eight hundred Soul points..." He guessed that he could only gather that many Soul points after fully clearing Raccoon City.

"With another 10% increase in Remote Attack Power, my efficiency in grinding down the Tracker should improve significantly." After upgrading Gun Master, Zhang Yanhang felt like he had nothing else to do, so he opened his data panel for a look.

"The only thing left is the Agility attribute, but that should be resolved by noon, so I just need to wait quietly until the evening of the 13th." Zhang Yanhang sighed quietly and then glanced at the time; there was still half an hour until eight o’clock.

"Although there’s still half an hour left, there’s really nothing else for me to do at home, so I might as well go to school." Zhang Yanhang tidied the remaining items on the table into his Waist Bag. After confirming that he had packed all the items from the Treasure box into his Waist Bag, Zhang Yanhang nodded satisfactorily.

As for packing something like stationery or textbooks into the Waist Bag? Unthinkable.

Since college, Zhang Yanhang had never carried a backpack again. After all, he had nothing to put in it; he kept all his textbooks for his major in the dormitory. Even before the recovery of Spiritual Energy, Zhang Yanhang just used to take his phone to class.

He didn’t even need to bring a power bank. In their Computer major, it was enough to bring a data cable, which could be plugged directly into the computer for charging. If charging in class wasn’t enough, he could go back to the dormitory at noon to charge, as there were charging sockets next to each bed.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang’s school days were essentially just about carrying a phone to school and then carrying it back home, leading a remarkably easy life. Of course, although he lived so comfortably, he was still studying diligently. Whether it was major-related courses or general courses, he had earned full marks for all his credits and consistently ranked among the top students.

While he hadn’t reached the level of earning a scholarship, he definitely qualified as a good student.

Mainly because in college, a passing grade of sixty points was sufficient to earn credits, and regular grades made up a large portion of this, so even if he wasn’t very diligent in class, as long as he maxed out the regular grades and crammed a bit before exams, he would generally avoid failing. He remembered some of his classmates would score only thirty or forty points in final exams yet still managed to get credits.

Thus, compared to the oppressive high school life, Zhang Yanhang felt that attending college was genuinely a joyful affair. It probably epitomized the idea of ’no pain, no gain.’

"I wonder if the other five guys in the dorm have come back today..." As he mused, Zhang Yanhang jumped out through the window.
