Chapter 328: Chapter 327 Purple Achievement

After spending some time, Zhang Yanhang successfully ran from the core area to the location of the Achievement Vending Machine, located in the westernmost part of the inner area, which was the leftmost of the five caves in the mini Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu.

He quickly reviewed the Achievement Vending Machine in front of him. In general, it looked similar to the one in Raccoon City, and the number of achievements available was also comparable—only three achievements, with the quality of the achievements being about the same as the ones in Raccoon City.

Zhang Yanhang remembered that in Raccoon City, there was one Blue quality, one Purple quality, and one Dark Purple quality achievement. Surprisingly, this machine also had one Blue, one Purple, and one Dark Purple quality achievement each; the overall similarity between the two machines was extremely high.

Faced with this, Zhang Yanhang first checked the attribute list of the Blue quality achievement.

[Crimson Iron Flying Ant’s Woe]

[Quality: Blue]

[Type: Achievement]

[Acquisition condition: Kill Crimson Iron Flying Ants 240/240.]

[Content description: Just as you entered the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, after killing a few Crimson Iron Soldier Ants, you immediately encountered the second line of defense inside the ant nest. These large Crimson Iron Flying Ants hovering in midair specialize in hit-and-run tactics, always spewing acid liquid at you from a distance.

Although the acid they spit couldn’t cause you significant damage, it was rather irritating. Enduring time after time, you finally lost your temper. You launched a targeted sweep against these annoying Crimson Iron Flying Ants, and it was highly effective. You quickly killed a considerable number of them.]

[Achievement reward: Movement Speed +5%.]

"Hmm, Movement Speed +5%? These three achievements from the mini Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu are similar in quality to those in Raccoon City, but there is a difference in the rewards they offer—it’s not an attribute value bonus..."

Although Zhang Yanhang had hoped to gain an achievement that would increase his Charm attribute value, he would still be fine with replacing it with a bonus to Movement Speed.

After all, the reason he wanted to increase Charm was to boost the Fixed Damage Limit of his Death Wave Skill and indirectly improve his efficiency in hunting monsters. However, increasing Movement Speed could directly enhance his monster hunting efficiency.

Therefore, since both options ultimately led to better hunting efficiency, Zhang Yanhang naturally wouldn’t be disappointed about missing out on an increase in Charm attribute value.

Well, maybe there was a tiny bit of disappointment since he was just one point away from reaching his minor goal of forty points in Charm.

"So now the question comes, does this 5% increase in Movement Speed come from the Crimson Iron Flying Ants or from the process of chasing and killing them?"

Zhang Yanhang felt both possibilities were quite likely since to hunt a fast-moving monster, one needed to be quick enough to encounter and take it down. Conversely, to avoid getting hunted, the Crimson Iron Flying Ants would naturally try to improve their speed as much as possible.

After reviewing the Blue quality achievement, Zhang Yanhang continued to check the attribute list of the Purple quality achievement.

[Crimson Iron Breeding Ant Swing]

[Quality: Purple]

[Type: Achievement]

[Acquisition Condition: Kill 150/150 Crimson Iron Breeding Ants.]

[Description: You have now spent a significant amount of time within the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, and you have gradually become somewhat familiar with the internal structure of the nest. During this period, you have consecutively defeated the first line of defense, the Crimson Iron Worker Ants, the second line of defense, the Crimson Iron Flying Ants, and the third line of defense, the Crimson Iron Soldier Ants.

After breaching these lines of defense, what appeared before you was the fourth line of defense of the Ant Nest, the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants. These extra-large Crimson Iron Ants have become even more adept at controlling flames, combining fire with their acid to relentlessly shoot acid liquid fireballs at you. Without a word, you simply charged forward.]

[Achievement Reward: Attack Speed +10%.]

"Attack Speed +10%? Not bad, just not sure if this thing will affect the fire rate of the Six Roots Pure Soul Passage Spear. If it can, then the speed at which I empty a magazine is probably going to be even faster."

The fire rate of the Six Roots Pure Soul Passage Spear is one hundred rounds per second, and the magazine capacity is five hundred rounds. This means that under normal circumstances, Zhang Yanhang just needs to keep his finger on the trigger for five seconds to empty a magazine.

And if the attack speed enhancement applies to this, then Zhang Yanhang might only need a little over four seconds to empty a magazine in the future.

"Fortunately, the Six Roots Pure Soul Passage Spear has a single shot mode, otherwise this rapid rate of fire is really something I might not be able to control."

Although Zhang Yanhang possesses the Gun Master skill and has even leveled it up to the LV.MAX stage, Gun Master after all is not an auto-aim hack. While it can improve his shooting skills in this area, the actual aiming and shooting still require his manual control.

Therefore, if it only had a rapid-fire mode, it’d definitely lead to a huge waste of bullets, after all, even a mere 0.01 second of extra trigger pull would result in another bullet being shot at the same spot.

In that case, the bullet would be considered wasted because now Zhang Yanhang could kill Crimson Iron Soldier Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants—First Tier Monsters—with just one bullet, thereby rendering the second bullet at the same location as nothing more than an unnecessary addition to a pile of corpses.

"Although I really couldn’t figure out where the Movement Speed +5% boost from the last achievement came from, this time the provider of the +10% Attack Speed is quite obvious, it’s definitely the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants, after all, the description only mentioned the attack behavior of the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants."

Zhang Yanhang’s impression of the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants’ attack is exceptionally deep. When he appeared in front of this group of Crimson Iron Breeding Ants, it was as if they had infinite Energy, incessantly shooting acid liquid fireballs at him without pause.

Since there were as many as three hundred Crimson Iron Breeding Ants and they had a relatively high attack speed, at that time, the barrage of acid liquid fireballs looked just like rain pouring densely upon Zhang Yanhang. Fortunately, their damage was also as inconsequential as rain, not even scraping an itch and utterly unable to break his defense.

But if a normal Awakener were to encounter this large group of Crimson Iron Breeding Ants, they’d definitely get sprayed with acid liquid fireballs to the point of questioning their life, especially First Tier amateur Awakeners.
