Chapter 314: Chapter 313: More Than Enough

This means that the Divination Tarot Card - Fool is indeed the same as the Attack Coin and the Defense Coin; it’s a special piece of equipment that provides its bonus effects simply by being placed anywhere on one’s person.

"Since the Divination Tarot Card - Fool can provide bonus effects even when kept in the Waist Bag, it stands to reason that the other twenty-one Divination Tarot Cards most likely fall under this situation as well—a twenty-two piece set that provides bonuses just from being in the Waist Bag..."

Zhang Yanhang found himself increasingly eager to collect the remaining twenty-one Divination Tarot Cards, as it would be rather unambitious not to covet such potent equipment.

"But having said that, I still have absolutely no clue about how to find the other Divination Tarot Cards..."

Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Value wasn’t full at the moment, so he planned to sort out the items from the Treasure Box later and recover some Energy Value, filling it to the limit before triggering related options, which he hoped would improve his chances of obtaining relevant clues.

After equipping the Divination Tarot Card - Fool, Zhang Yanhang began to systematically retrieve the pieces of reinforced concrete he had just pulled out of the Waist Bag. While reclaiming the last piece, a half-ton slab of reinforced concrete, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

"Back in my First Tier Period, I used to test my Strength using this slab of reinforced concrete as the base, along with other miniature ones.

At that time, when I maxed out my Strength Attribute to twenty-five points during the First Tier, I had just under a ton of Strength. But now, this half-ton slab of reinforced concrete has merely become an accessory to me, and my Strength has reached twelve and a half tons, which is almost thirteen times what it was before..."

Continuing at the current rate of progress, Zhang Yanhang felt that if he were promoted to Third Tier in the future, he might possess Strength in the hundreds of tons and could probably punch straight through a building with a single fist.

No wonder the Awakeners of the Early Stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery named the Third Tier as Town Level. Even an Ordinary Awakened without a Strength Effect Bonus could likely have several dozen tons of Strength just by maxing out their Strength Attribute points. Coupled with an Awakener’s speed, which surpasses that of high-speed rail, such demolition would surely be impressively swift.

Of course, if Zhang Yanhang were to be promoted to Third Tier, he definitely wouldn’t possess merely Town Level strength. After all, even during his First Tier Period, he had been able to cleanse Raccoon City, which was a County Level city, and after his promotion to Second Tier, he successfully gained the ability to destroy a Prefectural city by utilizing the Death Wave Skill.

Therefore, once he’s promoted to Third Tier, Zhang Yanhang reckoned that, although he might not immediately have the power to destroy a Provincial unit, given enough time, annihilating a quarter or half of a province would be well within his capabilities.

It’s worth mentioning that the Provincial units Zhang Yanhang referred to were based on the standards within the Empire.

For Provincial units in other countries, like Japan, one need not wait for the Third Tier – Zhang Yanhang estimated that even a current visit would enable him to obliterate a Provincial unit there in a brief period.

In fact, facing many smaller nations with sparse populations and limited land area, it’s highly probable that a solo eradication of a country isn’t a difficult task for Zhang Yanhang now, as destroying nations under a million in population is essentially a non-issue for him.

Not to mention, just let Zhang Yanhang drop a few Thermo-baric Bombs +3 casually in the capital of such a small country, and that would immediately send the local government organization into a state of paralysis.

Once the capital gets paralyzed, the other small and medium-sized cities and the villages will naturally be devoid of any capacity to resist. At that point, the only factor determining the speed of the country’s destruction would be Zhang Yanhang’s Movement Speed.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang could grab a few dozen Thermo-baric Bombs +3 in advance and release them all at once, which would make the destruction process even faster. Based on his current Energy Value limit, he could produce about twelve Thermo-baric Bombs +3 with seventy-five points of Energy Value each after recovering to full Energy Value.

After depleting this portion of Energy Value, it would take him at most four hours to recover it fully, meaning he could generate 1.5 Thermo-baric Bombs +3 every four hours.

Thus, if Zhang Yanhang did nothing else but focus on producing Thermo-baric Bombs +3, he could generate nine of them in a day just using his Energy Value.

In addition to using Energy Value to create Thermo-baric Bombs, the Rebirth in Pure Bliss Realm Prison Suppression Cannon itself would automatically generate forty-eight ordinary Thermo-baric Bombs over twenty-four hours, which Zhang Yanhang would convert into six Thermo-baric Bombs +3.

So, with enough effort, he could amass fifteen Thermo-baric Bombs +3 in a single day. By working tirelessly day and night for a week, Zhang Yanhang would be able to stockpile 105 Thermo-baric Bombs +3.

Each Thermo-baric Bomb +3 could easily blanket an area with a diameter of several kilometers, and including the impact damage, covering a few hundred square kilometers is no problem at all.

Here’s an example with a nation of under a million people – take Comoros, a country familiar to some, which is so poor that it only donated a hundred euros as a national contribution. Comoros has a population of just over eight hundred thousand and spans over two thousand square kilometers of land.

Therefore, even if Zhang Yanhang used the Thermo-baric Bombs +3 to sweep the land, he could demolish at least a fifth of Comoros’ national territory.

However, as an island nation in the Indian Ocean, the vast majority of Comoros’ population lives along the coastline – around the edges of the small island – while the center of the island, due to underdeveloped economy, transportation difficulties, and environmental issues (active volcanoes erupting every few years), is virtually uninhabited.

In dealing with a nation in this situation, Zhang Yanhang could simply bomb along the coast. With 105 Thermo-baric Bombs +3, not only could he sweep through the area, but he could do it several times over with ease.

It is precisely because of this reasoning that Zhang Yanhang felt that with his current power, wiping out an ordinary nation with a population under a million wouldn’t be too difficult.

These places have virtually no military forces to speak of, and without formal Cultivation Techniques, the Awakeners are unlikely to be very strong, so the task would be swiftly accomplished.
