Chapter 346: Chapter 345: Prize Pool Refresh

"Never mind, it’s best not to think about that sort of thing right now. There’re only about ten more minutes left before the transmission channel to the Main World closes, so I better hurry up and clear the third prize pool of the slot machine. I wonder if the Crimson Iron Ant King will drop a treasure box this time."

While speaking, Zhang Yanhang pulled down on the metal lever of the nearby Lucky Slot Machine.

As the metal lever was pulled all the way down, a Time Pause instantly descended, and at the same time hundreds of text option boxes appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang. Having cleared the slot machine in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu several times, he had become very familiar with these options.

[Please choose the specific contents of the Lucky Slot Machine’s draw.]

[Option One: ☠☠☠ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Flying Ant, First Tier One Star, Elite Monster.)]

[Option Two: ☠☠☠ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Worker Ant, First Tier One Star, Ordinary Monster.)]

[Option Three: ☠☠☠ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Breeding Ant, First Tier Three Stars, Ordinary Monster.)]

...

[Option Forty-Three: ☠☠☠ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Soldier Ants, First Tier Two Stars, Ordinary Monster.)]

...

[Option Ninety-Two: ☠☠☠ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Ant King, Second Tier Second Star, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option One Hundred Forty-Five: ✭✮✭ (Fourth Prize, Thank You for Playing, No Physical Prizes.)]

...

During the days spent digging tunnels in the Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Zhang Yanhang had already cleared the prize pool four times in a row, so he was pretty familiar with the contents of the pool.

As it turned out, after he had thoroughly cleared the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, the slot machine had refreshed exactly as he had anticipated with a Second Tier Second Star Elite Monster—Crimson Iron Ant King. Unfortunately, just like the slot machine in Raccoon City that contained the Prototype Tyrant, there was only one.

Apart from that, there was a decent number of First Tier Three Star Monsters—Crimson Iron Breeding Ants in the third prize pool, a total of nine.

Then came the Crimson Iron Flying Ants and Crimson Iron Soldier Ants. Each of these First Tier Two Star strength monsters occupied twenty-five spots in the prize pool, while the remaining forty spots were filled with the most common First Tier One Star—Crimson Iron Worker Ants.

Besides the quantity of monsters in the slot machine’s third prize pool, during these four days, Zhang Yanhang had also figured out the refresh timing of the slot machine. Although he couldn’t stay near the machine long due to the need to dig tunnels, Zhang Yanhang had still managed to estimate a general time.

It was around eleven o’clock every evening that this slot machine would refresh. Thanks to that, Zhang Yanhang had managed to clear the prize pool again shortly after killing the Crimson Iron Ant King and the Crimson Iron Ant Queen.

The number of monsters in that reward pool was exactly the same as it is now, so it’s also confirmed that the slot machine’s reward pool content does indeed adjust according to his clearing progress.

Besides that, Zhang Yanhang also compared the refresh time of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu’s slot machine with that of the Raccoon City slot machine and found a common point between the two, which was that both would refresh one hour before the transmission channel closed.

The closing time of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu’s transmission channel was midnight, and the slot machine refreshed at eleven o’clock in the evening, while the closing time of the Raccoon City transmission channel was six o’clock in the morning, and its slot machine refreshed at five in the morning.

"Since that’s the case, then if I can encounter any new areas in the future, I should be able to snag another go at the reward pool before returning to the Main World each time. So, I choose Option Seven, the Crimson Iron Worker Ant."

After a quick glance at the slot machine’s reward pool and seeing no changes, Zhang Yanhang made his choice immediately.

...

Five minutes later, Zhang Yanhang was surrounded by Crimson Iron Ants, and as he pulled the lever for the last time, an egg containing the Crimson Iron Ant King popped out from the dispenser.

Accompanied by the egg’s gradual opening, a Crimson Iron Ant King the size of a rhinoceros appeared before Zhang Yanhang, but he showed no reaction and silently activated the Death Wave Skill.

Due to the increase in his Charm attribute to thirty-nine points, Zhang Yanhang’s fixed damage for the Death Wave Skill had now reached six hundred ninety points, only sixty points away from the upper limit of seven hundred fifty points.

While killing the Crimson Iron Ant King, which had a Life Value Limit of seven hundred forty points, was still a bit difficult, reducing it to a dying state was a breeze.

Whirr—

A translucent wave of distortion spread rapidly from Zhang Yanhang as its center, and the exoskeletons on the Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Soldier Ants on the ground cracked and splattered large amounts of thick crimson fluid under the influence of the distortion wave.

After such a devastating blow, the Crimson Iron Worker Ants and the Crimson Iron Soldier Ants fell silent, their bodies slumping and sticking close to the ground.

The Crimson Iron Flying Ants and the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants in mid-air didn’t fare any better; their exoskeletal wings were instantly torn apart by the twisted force field, detaching at the joints from their bodies. As the exoskeletal wings shattered, the crimson exoskeletal armor covering their bodies also broke apart, causing extensive decay of the vulnerable flesh inside.

Just slightly later than the Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Soldier Ants on the ground, obeying gravity’s potential energy after a simple natural free-fall, the Crimson Iron Flying Ants and the Crimson Iron Breeding Ants in mid-air also fell into silence.

The dense and heavy impact sound erupted in an instant and then vanished just as quickly, easily mistaken for an illusion, but the echo resounding and spreading in the enclosed cave and the corpses of Crimson Iron Ants littering the ground proved that the sound that had just erupted was not an illusion, but rather the last trace left by the dead ants.

After releasing the Death Wave Skill, Zhang Yanhang stood in his original spot, quietly enjoying the high-frequency bombardment from the kill notification sounds. Perhaps because he had previously experienced a four-digit ultra-high-frequency bombardment, Zhang Yanhang had now become quite accustomed to this three-digit level high-frequency bombardment.
