Chapter 405: Chapter 404: Forced Fusion

After putting six Red Medicinal Herbs into the Alchemy Array together, Zhang Yanhang began skillfully manipulating the fusion between the Yellow Medicine Grass and the Red Medicinal Herb until he finally formed the Red and Yellow pills.

Looking at the six freshly made Red and Yellow pills before him, Zhang Yanhang didn’t immediately swallow them as he had done before, because the usage requirements of the Red and Yellow pills were that the Constitution Attribute must be maintained at less than fifty points.

And with the Equipment bonuses, his Constitution Attribute had long since reached fifty points, and even had an overflow of two points.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang now needed to take off each piece of Equipment that provided an Attribute bonus in order to properly use the Red and Yellow pills.

The whole process was actually quite straightforward, as the Attribute bonuses provided by his Equipment mainly came from the White Ten-piece Set, the Green Ten-piece Set, and the Makarov Earring, with the White Ten-piece Set only adding +1 to All Attributes.

Hence, all Zhang Yanhang needed to do was simply remove the belt and the Makarov Earring that provided a +2 bonus to All Attributes to properly use the Red and Yellow pills. At that point, his Constitution Attribute would drop to forty-eight points, perfectly meeting the usage requirements of the Red and Yellow pills.

However, because Lickers and Beta-type Hunters had a slow respawn rate in Raccoon City, and because he estimated that his Constitution Attribute would soon reach fifty points in the naked state due to upgrades of the Limitless Universe Skill,

Zhang Yanhang guessed that he probably wouldn’t have many more opportunities to use the Yellow Medicine Grass to increase his Life Value Limit. Even if he forced an extension through Alchemy, once he advanced to Third Tier, the Yellow Medicine Grass would no longer have any effect on him.

That would also mean that the stable channel for increasing his Life Value Limit that Zhang Yanhang had painstakingly developed would collapse.

But overall, Zhang Yanhang really had made enough profit from the Yellow Medicine Grass, so if that channel really were to collapse, he wouldn’t feel too heartbroken about it.

After all, considering the respawn speed in Raccoon City, even holding down a week’s worth of Lickers and Beta-type Hunters would only increase his Life Value Limit by a few dozen points at most, which was far too slow.

Compared to a stable channel for increasing his Life Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang was more eager to find a way to increase his Energy Value Limit, but unfortunately, there was no such way to be found.

"Forget it, I might as well just eat these six Red and Yellow pills now."

Zhang Yanhang, having removed his Equipment, threw the six bean-like Red and Yellow pills into his mouth, chewed them casually for a moment, and then immediately swallowed them down.

After feeling that slight warm current emerge in his body, Zhang Yanhang first put his Equipment back on, and then opened up his Life Value Limit to take a look, curious if he had successfully received a full increase to his Life Value Limit.

[Shield Value: 3905/3905 (Life Value Limit × 150%, Recovery Speed: 20% per second.)]

[Life Value: 2603/2603 (Constitution × 21, the body is now officially digitalized, Life Value Recovery Speed, 15 points per hour.)]

[Energy Value: 950/950 (Intelligence × 15, the body is now officially digitalized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 45 points per hour.)]

"After eating the six Red and Yellow pills, my Life Value Limit increased from the original 2549 points to 2603 points, a total increase of 54 points to the Life Value Limit. The Shield Value Limit increased from the original 3824 points to 3905 points, a total increase of 81 points to the Shield Value Limit.

The 3905 points of Shield Value Limit are getting closer and closer to four thousand points. It feels like it won’t be long before I can make up for this gap of 95 points.

An ordinary Second Tier Awakened, even if they increase their Constitution Attribute by fifty points, would only have a Life Value Limit of one thousand points. If I can raise my Shield Value to four thousand points, then my Shield Value Limit alone would be the equivalent of four times the Life Value Limit of an Ordinary Awakened.

Plus, with nearly three thousand points of Life Value Limit, my damage resistance ability will be at least seven times that of an Awakened of the same Level. If I also take into account factors like defensive power, I might even reach ten to twenty times that of a Same Tier Awakened."

Thinking this far, a sense of full-fledged security suddenly surged in Zhang Yanhang’s heart. No matter how one looked at it, his level of damage resistance should prevent him from being counter-killed while hunting Monsters.

Even if he did encounter some High-level monster, he still had the Proof of Dominator. As long as he had the Proof of Dominator to block for three seconds, he could immediately recover sixty percent of his Shield Value Limit, which should be more than enough to escape, unless the Monster was strong enough to break his Shield in one hit.

But Zhang Yanhang didn’t think that just by clearing the Goblin Plain he would encounter a Monster of that level. After all, with the blessing of the Indestructible Golden Body, he felt that only a Fourth Tier Monster could possibly inflict a Shield-breaking injury on him.

As for Third Tier monsters, they should still lack that ability because he was, after all, now a Second Tier Peak Awakened.

"The Shield Value Limit is about to break through four thousand points, but my Energy Value Limit is still stubbornly sitting in the three-digit range without moving a bit. How exactly should I find a way to break my Energy Value Limit into four digits?"

Maybe the old Zhang Yanhang would have fantasized about raising the Energy Value Limit to the same level as the Life Value Limit or even higher, but now his goal was set quite modestly.

Just an additional increase of fifty points to the Energy Value Limit, shifting it from three digits to four, would make him exceedingly satisfied.

But unfortunately, even such a modest little goal still seemed somewhat unachievable for Zhang Yanhang. Perhaps later he would have to rely on the Multiple Choice to solve this.

He planned to first clear the Goblin Plain, and then use the remaining time to explore options in the Ashen World, seeking channels that might offer Artifacts related to increasing his Energy Value Limit. This time, he was determined.

After all, Zhang Yanhang now already had an Energy Value Limit of nine hundred and fifty points. If such an amount of Energy was still unable to meet the consumption of Multiple Choice, then he might have to wait until he advanced to Third Tier to solve his Energy Value shortage, but he felt it shouldn’t have to be dragged out that long.

"I hope I really can get Artifacts that can increase the Energy Value Limit, or other Items that can have the same effect. The gap between the Energy Value Limit and the Life Value Limit is getting wider, and it’s getting somewhat unbearable."

In an ideal situation, Zhang Yanhang wanted his Energy Value Limit and Life Value Limit to advance side by side. But the current state of affairs was that his Life Value Limit was growing rapidly, while his Energy Value Limit was going nowhere, a truly disheartening scenario.
