Chapter 352: Chapter 351: Decision

After opening all the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to take inventory of the various items he had obtained this time, starting with talents. This time, he had opened a total of twenty-six E-tier "Ant Powers." Counting the one hundred ninety-one "Ant Powers" he had left over from before, Zhang Yanhang now had a total of two hundred seventeen "Ant Powers."

"Still a long way from gathering the seven hundred twenty-nine ’Ant Powers’ needed to upgrade the S-tier Talent ’Bear Power.’ Not even a third has been collected; still missing five hundred twelve ’Ant Powers.’

But fortunately, the tunnel to the Crimson Iron Ore Vein is only three kilometers away from being breached. By the next time I go to the Crimson Iron Ore Vein, I should certainly be able to hunt some new monsters while also breaking through the vein."

Although he still didn’t know what kind of monsters resided in the new area or what level their strength might be, having "Ant Power" as a source of energy, Zhang Yanhang felt he should be capable of maintaining a relatively high hunting speed throughout.

With his current strength, Zhang Yanhang felt that even if all the monsters in the new area were of second tier strength or higher, it should take him at most a few days to clear them all out.

With his current movement speed of eighty-two meters per second, provided the new area isn’t too large, five days would be more than enough to tread through the area several times over. If he is willing to stay there after the teleportation channel closes, the overall hunting situation should be similar to this time.

That is, after quickly hunting down the monsters, he should still have some time left to dig through the tunnels leading to the new area.

Right, even without having truly entered the new area, just from the characteristic of the Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Zhang Yanhang has already anticipated that subsequent areas would also likely require digging through tunnels to be reached successfully.

After spending five consecutive days in the Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang felt that life there wasn’t so unbearable. So, he felt that if he went to the Crimson Iron Ore Vein next time, he might still choose to stay there for five days.

But before heading to the Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Zhang Yanhang would likely visit Raccoon City and the adjacent Goblin Plain first, as the teleportation channel at home was about to open.

The teleportation channel to Raccoon City had opened last time, but Zhang Yanhang had been in the Ashen World, so it had gone to waste. This time, however, he would definitely head straight to Raccoon City as soon as the transmission channel opened.

How soon is this "soon" mentioned by Zhang Yanhang? It’s actually opening today—yes, that fast and unexpectedly.

The teleportation channel to Raccoon City has a four-day opening cycle, and the previous channel’s opening date was on the twelfth of October, so by that calculation, the last time—the time Zhang Yanhang missed—would have been on the sixteenth of October.

Adding four days to that date brings us to today, the twentieth of October.

So unless something unexpected happens, after resting for less than a day, Zhang Yanhang should be hunting monsters in the Ashen World again by eight o’clock tonight, with only less than twenty hours left from now.

"Sigh, I’ve just taken a leave and already feel like I’m about to ask for another one, but this time, three days should suffice.

Today is Tuesday. I’ll go to school in the daytime, take the opportunity to ask for leave, and then spend four days in the Ashen World in the evening. Over the subsequent four days, only three are workdays, with the last one being Saturday. No need for leave.

Adult life is really not easy. After four consecutive days and nights of relentless work, there’s only twenty hours of rest before immediately starting work again. If I were still an ordinary person, faced with such intensity, I might have collapsed at the first stage of four days and nights of non-stop work."

Regarding the fact that he had just left the Ashen World and was about to enter it again so soon, Zhang Yanhang actually didn’t find it too hard to accept. After all, he had been through this experience before, so out of habit, he easily came to terms with this fact.

"Wait a second, if the teleportation channel to Raccoon City is opening on the twentieth this time, doesn’t that mean the next opening date is the twenty-fourth?

But then, the next activation of the teleportation channel to the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu is also on the twenty-fourth.

Looking at it this way, next time I enter the Ashen World, I’ll have to choose between two teleportation channels... A subtly difficult choice... Never mind, no need to think about it now, there’s no rush."

The main reason for this was that Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that the two teleportation channels didn’t close at the same time. So, he might visit the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu first to get through its tunnel before returning to the Main World just before dawn, and then head back home to Raccoon City.

As long as he enters Raccoon City before six o’clock in the morning the next day, it would be fine. The transmission channel to Raccoon City would remain open during this period, allowing Zhang Yanhang to waste only a few hours. Still, he’d be able to dig through the tunnel to the new area ahead of schedule and hunt some of the monsters there.

"If I follow this plan, it seems like I won’t need to make a choice...

But it’s not certain, because if the monsters connected by the tunnel are particularly lucrative in terms of rewards, I might not return to the Main World, but instead start hunting actions directly in the new area."

However, this was an event eight days away, so Zhang Yanhang felt he should focus his main attention on the Goblin Plain for now.

If nothing unexpected occurs, he should first clear out the monsters that have respawned in Raccoon City during this time after his visit, and then immediately begin exploring and hunting in the Goblin Plain.

Zhang Yanbang had visited the Goblin Plain numerous times before, aided by "Time Pause." It was a genuine vast plain, covered with green grass, with no mountains or hills whatsoever.
