Chapter 356: Chapter 355: No Man’s Land

That incomplete fifty-five points of fixed damage was really quite crucial. Without it, Zhang Yanhang could at most instant-kill Second Tier monsters with a Constitution Attribute of thirty-four points.

But with it, Zhang Yanhang could instant-kill Second Tier Three Star monsters with a Constitution Attribute of thirty-seven points. Although the Attribute value difference seemed to be only three points, the gap in Level reflected by the comprehensive strength was huge.

So, if possible, Zhang Yanhang still wanted to try to raise his Charm attribute value to fifty points. Although this goal was difficult to achieve, one must always strive, for how could you know whether you could succeed without trying?

Previously, Zhang Yanhang’s main method of obtaining Charm attribute value was through Equipment bonuses. However, he had completely cleared the Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu and could no longer obtain more Equipment that would enhance his Charm attribute. The Goblin Plain he planned to visit next seemed even less likely to provide any Charm-related Equipment.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang felt that relying on Equipment bonuses to make up for the missing eleven points was quite unrealistic.

As a result, the only things he could hope for were Achievements and Artifacts that could increase his Charm attribute value, as well as Free attribute points.

Yes, although the Charm attribute was only a Sub-attribute, it was still one of the five regular attributes. If he truly couldn’t find any other way to increase his Charm attribute value, then Zhang Yanhang might consider using one or two Levels’ worth of Free attribute points to enhance his Charm attribute value.

He had been prepared for this even when he first obtained the Death Wave Skill. After all, considering his current situation, moving one or two Levels’ worth of Free attribute points should not greatly impact his hunting efficiency when he advanced to the Third Tier.

Apart from attribute-related matters, Zhang Yanhang also noticed that his Energy Value Limit had increased by fifteen points due to raising his Intelligence to fifty points, from the original eight hundred and eighty-five points to nine hundred points.

At the same time, his Energy Value Recovery Speed had also increased by three points for the same reason, from forty-two points to forty-five points.

"Sigh, I’ve finally reached this stage. In the period before advancing to the Third Tier, my Energy Value Limit probably won’t increase anymore due to attribute enhancements. Besides attribute enhancements, I don’t have any other means to increase the Energy Value Limit.

So, for now, my Energy Value Limit should temporarily enter a stagnant phase, hardly seeing any growth."

Zhang Yanhang had anticipated this situation. He had previously stated that his Energy Value Limit was likely to experience stagnation in growth after reaching nine hundred points.

"The growth speed of the Energy Value Limit is truly saddening. Before the promotion to the Second Tier, my Energy Value Limit had already entered the three-digit stage, but after promoting to Second Tier, it has remained in the three-digit stage.

It would be nice if the Energy Value Limit could keep up with the growth speed of the Life Value Limit, or even if it could reach half the speed of the Life Value Limit.

Now, the growth speed of the Energy Value Limit is practically non-existent compared to that of the Life Value Limit, after rounding off."

Zhang Yanhang quickly calculated that his Life Value Limit was 2.7 times that of his Energy Value Limit, and his Shield Value Limit was four times that of his Energy Value Limit. No matter how you looked at it, the Energy Value Limit seemed too weak.

Zhang Yanhang had naively thought that during his hunting process, he would be able to obtain some Artifacts or Achievements that could increase the Energy Value Limit and perhaps just about reach a thousand points, barely entering the four-digit stage. But alas, he had encountered none.

"Treasure boxes are opened, Skills are upgraded, so what should I do next to pass the time?" Zhang Yanhang had assumed that after upgrading his Skills, he might feel a bit sleepy, but instead, he became even more alert due to the enhancement of his Intelligence attribute—absurd!

"Although I’m pleased that raising Agility and Intelligence to fifty points has made me a Second Tier Peak Awakened,

from the perspective of my initial goal, which is to sleep, opening treasure boxes and upgrading skills didn’t help with sleep at all. In fact, it made it even harder to sleep—what a loss."

Had he known things would turn out this way, Zhang Yanhang might have chosen to do something else to pass the time first, then waited until he woke up the next morning to open treasure boxes and upgrade Skill Levels.

Since he felt no sleepiness at all, Zhang Yanhang reopened his phone and began to try playing some sleep-inducing videos to help him fall asleep quickly. However, after half an hour of these videos, he found that while they weren’t entirely useless, they were pretty close to being so.

"If sleeping pills still worked on someone like me, a Second Tier Awakened, I’d down a whole bottle right now."

After half an hour of effort and still no sign of sleepiness, Zhang Yanhang began to search online for various, potentially credible or not, sleep-inducing tips.

After careful research, he found that perhaps the only reliable method was to do some light exercise before bed, such as night running, to tire the body. This way, it would naturally be easier to fall asleep.

"Night running, huh? It feels like it could be a good method. After all, the reason I can’t sleep is that I still have plenty of Physical Strength. If I can use running to burn some of it off, maybe I’ll be able to sleep.

And if running doesn’t wear me out much, I could also find a deserted area to release the Death Wave Skill a few more times. That way, I can also quickly exhaust my Physical Strength. If I do it fast enough, I might deplete it to a sufficient level in half a minute."

Although he had found a plausible solution, the insomnia still made Zhang Yanhang question his life. He typically fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, at most lying there for about five minutes before conking out. But this time, he had been lying in bed for over an hour without any effect, which was very strange.

Zhang Yanhang felt that he could usually fall asleep quickly because of his instinct kicking in, but this time, it seemed the prolonged wakefulness had temporarily disabled his instinct.
