Chapter 344: Chapter 343 Muscle Memory

"For example, reading magazines, or reading world-famous books, Zhang Yanhang greatly relieved the monotony and boredom of performing repetitive mechanical tasks in a narrow underground space for long periods by maintaining the operation of the Alchemy Array while reading.

Although theoretically, distracting oneself with books while working could easily lead to mistakes, practice makes perfect. No matter how complex the task, doing anything a hundred times in quick succession can make one incredibly skillful and lead to the development of related techniques, and Zhang Yanhang was no different in this respect.

If a hundred times could bring him to that level, then there was even less reason to worry about Zhang Yanhang making mistakes, because he had already excavated nearly two thousand Crimson iron ore pillars in a row, and the relevant operational techniques had long since become a kind of muscle memory -- a fixed operating procedure.

So, for Zhang Yanhang, who had continuously excavated four-digit numbers of Crimson iron ore pillars, even if some of his attention was diverted by magazines and world-famous books, the remaining attention was still more than enough to adequately manipulate and operate the Alchemy Array.

Wondering where the magazines and world-famous books came from? Naturally, they couldn’t have come from the Main World, so these books were actually found by Zhang Yanhang earlier in Raccoon City.

As a modern city from the 90s, Raccoon City actually had a lot of things that Zhang Yanhang could use, such as the bed he had once slept in and the lab bench he had used, which were all brought from Raccoon City.

So, with the idea of utilizing waste, Zhang Yanhang stuffed his bag with a bunch of miscellaneous stuff from Raccoon City.

Of course, the main reason was that Zhang Yanhang’s Waist Bag was just too empty. With a big patch of idle slots, he wanted to find something to fill it up a bit so it didn’t look so vacant.

Moreover, unless he encountered a situation like this one, he wouldn’t really need all nine hundred sixty slots, so he filled it with a bunch of things that he might, but was more likely not, use.

As for why he would pack his Waist Bag with a bunch of books, one has to mention the reinforced concrete he would use to test his Strength because the idea came to him while he was in a library, and after tearing down the library’s thickest load-bearing wall, he casually packed a few bookshelves with books.

And then, these books, the sole survivors after the library’s collapse, had become the best companions to relieve Zhang Yanhang of boredom and fight off sleepiness over the past few days.

That’s why the forty slots which Zhang Yanhang organized in his Waist Bag were not filled with a few items or any individual things but were jam-packed, taking up a solid forty cubic meters.

Among these forty cubic meters of items, the bulk was naturally the stuff found from Raccoon City. The rest, such as various Equipment and Items, or Materials, only occupied a small part of the slots.

So, in terms of volume alone, Zhang Yanhang put a lot of effort into making the grid slots look not so empty.

"Although I’m not really tired from digging the tunnel, the moment I rest, a strange drowsiness comes over me. It’s safe to say that a Second Tier Awakener is still too weak to fully resist the physiological reactions of a Human.

Option One and Option Two are definitely out of the question, although I am indeed close to breaking through the channel now, but I still want to go back to the Main World and rest a bit first, and deal with this when I come to the small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu next time. So, I chose Option Three, to go home," he concluded.

After making his choice, Time Pause instantly disappeared, and Zhang Yanhang continued to move toward the location of the Transmission Channel while carrying the slot machine.

Just as Zhang Yanhang had estimated earlier, after about fifteen minutes, he arrived at the C-shaped passage of the Transmission Channel and felt quite nostalgic and fond of this place.

This is where he had once faced the United Army of four thousand Crimson Iron Ants, a battle that had earned him a considerable number of Soul points. If possible, Zhang Yanhang would truly love to be besieged by Crimson Iron Ants once more.

Unfortunately, the Crimson Iron Ants in the small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu had all been wiped out by Zhang Yanhang, rendering it impossible to organize a new siege.

While Zhang Yanhang was busy excavating tunnels in these four days, some Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants had sporadically respawned in the small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, but they were nothing compared to the tens of thousands of Crimson Iron Ants that had once been inside the Ant Nest.

For Zhang Yanhang, these were not even enough to pick between his teeth, so although he detected some scattered Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants along the way, he didn’t bother with them.

As for these newly refreshed Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants, Zhang Yanhang planned to bide his time and wait until his next visit to the small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu to clear them all out at once.

After all, given the complex environment of the Ant Nest, if the Monster density was sparse but Zhang Yanhang insisted on forcibly clearing them out, the efficiency of the gains could only be described as a huge loss.

After all, the environment of the small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu was different from that of Raccoon City. Although Raccoon City was an urban area, its overall structure and pathways were relatively open, and with Zhang Yanhang’s current Movement Speed combined with the aid of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil for a simple sweep, it might only take one or two hours at most.

The small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu was a different story, with thick Crimson iron ore everywhere, severely limiting the range of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’s scans, making it impossible for him to quickly locate the Monsters.

Under such circumstances, if Zhang Yanhang wanted to clean up the scattered Monsters that had respawned, he would have to resort to the most foolish method of trudging through one channel after another.

And if he opted for this method, the entire small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest would probably take no less than ten hours to conquer, and spending ten hours just to hunt a few hundred Crimson Iron Worker Ants and even fewer Crimson Iron Flying Ants, if that’s not a loss, what is?

Keep in mind that it would only take about twenty hours or so for Zhang Yanhang to completely clean up the full small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu.
