Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Life Value Limit Increase

To upgrade the S-rank Talent "Bear Power," Zhang Yanhang had to find a new and even larger Crimson Iron Ant Nest and rely on killing the Crimson Iron Ants inside to gain more "Ant Power" Talent. So, going around in circles, it ultimately came back to the problem of tunneling through.

"Tunneling is indeed imperative, but before that, I still need to resolve the issue with the Divination Tarot Card," Zhang Yanhang said while starting to cultivate the Limitless Universe Skill. Since just cultivating Limitless Universe Skill was actually quite boring, Zhang Yanhang opened his data panel and took a glance.

"Because I just used Red Dragon’s Blood, my Life Value Limit increased from the original 2211 to 2399, an increase of 188 Life Value Limit points.

Although the original Red Dragon’s Blood could only increase the Life Value Limit by a total of 125 points, my Indestructible Golden Body LV.MAX provided an additional 50% bonus, resulting in an increase of 63 more Life Value Limit points.

Similarly, thanks to this, my Shield Value Limit also increased from the original 3317 to now 3599, a total increase of 282 Shield Value Limit points.

Speaking of which, since Indestructible Golden Body can provide a 50% Life Value bonus, and the Energy Shield itself also has a 50% bonus, wouldn’t multiplying the two together, 1.5 × 1.5, be equivalent to 2.25 times? Does that mean my current Shield Value Limit is actually equivalent to 2.25 times my basic Life Value Limit?"

With such a simple calculation, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt his future gains in Life Value and Shield Value became higher, especially the percentage bonus in Life Value Limit, which not only provides a bonus to the Life Value Limit but also indirectly provides a bonus to the Shield Value Limit, killing two birds with one stone.

"Agility and Intelligence attributes are both stuck at forty-nine points, only one point shy of reaching the Second Tier Limit and fully becoming a Second Tier Peak Awakened. As for the Charm attribute value, it lags behind, still at thirty-nine points, also just one point short of completing my immediate goal."

Zhang Yanhang had previously fantasized about obtaining an artifact that could increase his Charm attribute value from an Ashen Treasure Box when he couldn’t get a Charm attribute value boost from the Achievement Vending Machine, but fantasy is after all just fantasy. As expected, this highly unlikely fantasy was not realized.

After reviewing the data panel, Zhang Yanhang began to fully concentrate on cultivating Limitless Universe Skill to recover his Energy Value.

...

October 16th, the eighth day after the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, was also Zhang Yanhang’s second day away from the Main World. At one o’clock in the morning, in the outer zone of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu.

After continuously cultivating Limitless Universe Skill for four hours, Zhang Yanhang finally restored his Energy Value to full. He couldn’t wait to start the autonomous selection concerning the Divination Tarot Card.

"Choose! How can I obtain a ’Divination Tarot Card - Fool[False] (Gate of Truth)’ of blue quality that may or may not be related to ’Divination Tarot Card - Fool[False] (Gate of Truth)’ through a relatively normal channel?"

To be safe, Zhang Yanhang used the same phraseology as last time, reducing variability was the only way to better replicate the previous success.

Zhang Yanhang sat there and waited for a second. Even though the wording was exactly the same as last time, the Multiple Choice did not respond at all this time, "Sigh, it was indeed wishful thinking to want to immediately obtain another Divination Tarot Card.

But it’s also possible that the options this time were more difficult. After all, I don’t have a treasure box as a medium. If I had an extra treasure box, then maybe there would be a chance to trigger related options."

Zhang Yanhang decided to wait until the next time he obtained a treasure box to try this autonomous selection again to see if it’s possible to succeed. But if the Multiple Choice still shows no response even when facing ordinary Drop treasure boxes,

Then Zhang Yanhang thought he might have to pin his only hopes on the Ashen Treasure Box. After all, the treasure box that produced the Divination Tarot Card was an Ashen Treasure Box, so from the perspective of reducing differences, the Ashen Treasure Box is indeed an object that cannot be ignored.

"Since I can’t trigger options related to the Divination Tarot Card for now, I might as well start tunneling. However, there are a few preliminary tasks to complete before tunneling, such as finding the exact spot to dig and forming a complete tunneling plan."

Regarding the location to dig, Zhang Yanhang already had some specific ideas. Although there were no tunnels leading to the outside world in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu itself, the Crimson Iron Ant Queen had left a strong clue for Zhang Yanhang on this matter.

Zhang Yanhang had wondered why the Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants, which should have been in the middle area, were replaced with Crimson Iron Breeding Ants when he first entered the inner zone. Later, after Zhang Yanhang’s investigation, it seemed that this batch of Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants had been deployed to the westmost side of the inner zone to dig tunnels.

But because Zhang Yanhang awakened quite early, these Crimson Iron Worker Ants didn’t manage to dig very far before they were urgently summoned back to the middle zone by the Crimson Iron Ant Queen and were ultimately blasted into debris on the spot by a Thermo-baric Bomb.
