Chapter 206: Chapter 205 New Region

After exchanging the dark purple achievements, Zhang Yanhang began to ponder a question: should he move the Achievement Vending Machine back to the Dulda Apartment like he had done with the Lucky Slot Machine?

However, after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea because the achievements in the Achievement Vending Machine were one-time only and were unlikely to refresh—unlike the slot machine that needed to have its prize pool emptied daily.

Therefore, leaving it here actually didn’t affect its use. After all, once he advanced to the Second Tier, he would exchange the remaining two achievements at the same time.

"In that case, let’s immediately get to clearing the remaining zombies in Raccoon City."

Although Zhang Yanhang had just been fighting a Lord Monster, it hadn’t taken up much of his time. Even with the treasure box opening and the achievement exchange just now, only about fifteen minutes had passed, so he still had roughly seven hours to clear the remaining zombies in Raccoon City.

"Seven hours might not actually be enough." In fact, what often limited Zhang Yanhang’s clearing efficiency was not his physical strength, but his Movement Speed and the time it took for treasure boxes to refresh. He spent most of his time running around and standing in place waiting for treasure box refreshes, with only a very small portion of time spent on killing monsters.

Mainly because to him right now, First Tier Monsters were just too weak. Even if several of them gathered together, the time it would take Zhang Yanhang to kill them would not exceed one second, whereas waiting for treasure boxes—at least required waiting for several seconds to confirm their presence.

"Sigh, if only the drop time for the treasure box could be shortened to within one second, then my efficiency in clearing monsters would definitely improve significantly."

Zhang Yanhang thought about which area to start cleaning from and climbed upwards along the ladder in the shaft.

Zhang Yanhang would have liked to leap elegantly and jump straight out of the shaft, but unfortunately, his jumping ability was not quite there yet. The shaft was at least a dozen meters high. If it was within ten meters, Zhang Yanhang might have some confidence, but a dozen meters really was a bit beyond his limits.

After he advanced to the Second Tier, Zhang Yanhang should be able to perform this feat, but for now, it really wasn’t feasible.

After climbing out of the shaft, Zhang Yanhang once again scanned the surrounding environment with his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil ability, and it seemed there was nothing missed. The Achievement Vending Machine should be the only thing useful to him in the Umbrella company’s Raccoon City branch.

"Then, let’s start with a reverse cleanup of Raccoon City." Zhang Yanhang planned to clean the zombies in the core area first, like he had done for the sewers, then the middle layer, and finally the zombies in the outer zone.

...

More than six hours later, in an outer zone of Raccoon City on a somewhat noisy street, Zhang Yanhang, who was changing his magazine, suddenly stopped his movements as a row of familiar text options appeared before him.

[Do you wish to continue hunting monsters in Ashen World?]

[Option One: Yes (This is your third visit to Raccoon City in Ashen World, and this time, you’ve finally cleared the entire city. Whether they were Lickers, Hunters, or even a Tyrant, all were easily killed by you. Even the Lord Monster Tracker of Raccoon City didn’t stand a chance against your attacks and was easily killed by you.

Despite having completely cleared the entire Raccoon City, you still don’t feel satisfied. You think that perhaps you can stay in Ashen World to hunt more monsters, and the Goblin Plain next to Raccoon City is obviously a good choice. You will head to the Goblin Plain to kill again.)]

[Option Two: Continue (The transmission channel from the Main World to Ashen World will close in half an hour. Although you have just finished clearing the entire Raccoon City and feel a bit tired, you immediately take out a bunch of green herbs from your Waist Bag and eat them all.

Having just eaten the green herbs, you feel exceptionally invigorated and eager to find a place to vent. However, you don’t go to the Goblin Plain, which you had already decided upon previously, but instead find a way to cross the vertical cliff on the eastern side of Raccoon City and begin hunting monsters behind the cliff.)]

[Option Three: Go Home (Since you have just cleared the entire Raccoon City, you really don’t want to continue working. At this moment, you just want to hurry home and rest properly, but before going home, you don’t forget to go to the Settlement Treasure Box area to get the Ashen Treasure Box of the Raccoon City region.

Although you want to go home immediately, after receiving the Ashen Treasure Box, you don’t forget that the slot machine’s prize pool has refreshed, so you take advantage of the last bit of time to clear the prize pool of the slot machine once again.)]

"That vertical cliff..." Zhang Yanhang had actually observed the areas surrounding Raccoon City when he had nothing to do. The Goblin Plain to the west, the forest to the north, and the mountain range to the south all tightly encircled Raccoon City.

Since Raccoon City was in the center, the east side naturally couldn’t be empty. The only reason Zhang Yanhang hadn’t mentioned it was that the east side of Raccoon City was actually a solid vertical cliff, with a height of at least several thousand meters, which was very peculiar.

The surface of that vertical cliff was unusually smooth, without any protrusions, making it quite difficult for Zhang Yanhang to climb. Moreover, since Raccoon City had not been cleared, Zhang Yanhang had always been too lazy to explore what was behind the cliff.

"The options are suggesting I explore that vertical cliff? What on earth is that version of me thinking in the options? Clearly, there is the simpler and easier-to-clear Goblin Plain, yet I choose to go to that vertical cliff?"

But Zhang Yanhang had said before that he would return to the Main World directly after clearing Raccoon City, and he definitely would not choose to stay here any longer.

"So, I choose Option Three, Go Home." After making his selection, the Time Pause disappeared, and Zhang Yanhang went back to changing his magazine.

Just after changing the magazine, Zhang Yanhang immediately shot and killed a female Worker Zombie that had been gnawing at his chest.

[You successfully killed a First Tier Zero Star Monster ’Worker Zombie (Common)’ ×1, Soul points +1.]

In the previous six-plus hours, Zhang Yanhang smoothly cleared the zombies of Raccoon City’s core area and middle layer, and now he was clearing the zombies in the outer zone. But at this moment, he had almost finished clearing the outer zone. Only in a nearby small area were a few scattered zombies wandering.
