Chapter 424: Chapter 423: Implementing the First Tier Cleanup Plan

Although that was the case, hope being slim and success being outright impossible were fundamentally two different concepts; therefore, Zhang Yanhang planned to still try his best in this matter.

If it really didn’t work out, then he could only wait until he reached Third Tier to see if an enhanced Multiple Choice obtained through Rank Promotion could help Zhang Yanhang solve this problem.

"It’s even entirely possible that a situation such as Luck Value overflowing during the enhancement process could occur, of course, this scenario should be the least probable—given that I don’t currently feel that my luck is that remarkable."

If he really had that level of Luck Value, Zhang Yanhang felt that he should at least be at that stage where he could turn misfortune into a blessing 100% of the time, like when enemies attempting to attack him would coincidentally miss, or even further, their Skill release would fail and the backfire would blast them half to death.

Zhang Yanhang felt that only that level of luck might reach a stage where it couldn’t be enhanced further, thus causing a situation where Luck Value overflowed.

"Speaking of which, despite it being a Destiny System Talent, Multiple Choice does not continue to enhance Luck Attribute during Rank Promotion; I remember other Awakeners’ Talents normally come with a complimentary small increase in one Attribute Value.

For example, awakening an Elemental Talent would increase Intelligence Attribute, while awakening a Defense Type Talent would enhance the Constitution Attribute."

Though he didn’t experience the same treatment from Multiple Choice as other Awakeners, Zhang Yanhang wasn’t jealous; after all, other Awakeners could only improve a Talent inherent to themselves, but he could obtain Talents from Monsters.

His own Talent was singular, but the monsters’ Talents were as many as the sands of the Ganges—there were as many Talents as there were types of monsters. Although acquiring Monster Talents also had its limitations, it was ultimately much more flexible and convenient than Awakeners’ inherent Talents.

At least in terms of upgrading, it was much more convenient, free from restrictive Tiers; moreover, a good Talent was an independent Power System unto itself.

For instance, the Scroll Dragon Bloodline that Zhang Yanhang had just obtained allowed him to react more flexibly to enemies’ attacks in battle, not putting all his hopes on one tactic and perishing on the spot should he encounter completely overpowering foes.

"Suddenly, I have a question: if Strength, Constitution, and Intelligence can all have associated Talent focuses, might I be able to extract some Talent related to Luck Attribute from the bodies of monsters in the future?

Although ordinary monsters probably don’t have it, it could still be possible if I kill some auspicious beasts that are symbolically lucky.

Of course, I definitely can’t defeat divine beasts like Bai Ze, but I could easily handle smaller fries like Koi.

So, here comes the question—where can I find Koi? To find such creatures, I would at least need to locate environments related to water, such as rivers, lakes, or seas, but the area around Raccoon City obviously has no connection to such environments."

Speaking of which, Zhang Yanhang suddenly recalled that the Awakeners in the group seemed to have quite a few Transmission Channels related to water. He could ask them for clues about this when he returned to the Main World.

"And besides Koi, the most modernly common lucky symbol, I could also look for other creatures known for good fortune, such as bats, magpies, etc., which in ancient times were also considered auspicious beasts..."

Although improving the Luck Attribute Value was indeed quite difficult, Zhang Yanhang felt that he should at least try hard to see if it could be done; whether he’d succeed was another matter.

"After I finish clearing the Goblin Plain, I’ll see if I have time; if I do, perhaps I can use Multiple Choice to search for such creatures.

As for now, I should concentrate on completing the first phase of the Goblin Plain clearing plan; I still need to make up 70 percent of the progress, so I ought to exert as much effort as possible."

As Zhang Yanhang pondered, he was gradually approaching the group of goblins he had previously scanned, although this group was significantly smaller than other normal groups of goblins.

Normally, groups of Big Saber Goblins would consist of at least around forty, but this group only had about twenty to thirty.

Zhang Yanhang thought that this situation could be because his current position had moved beyond the outermost layer of the Goblin Plain, and was closer to the Middle Layer.

Thus, more advanced goblins were mixed with ordinary Big Saber Goblins, resulting in a reduced number of goblins in the group.

According to Zhang Yanhang’s observations, there were a total of twenty-seven goblins in the nearest group, twenty-four of which were the weakest Big Saber Goblins, which, although Elite Monsters, were merely First Tier One Star.

The three encircled in the middle were Advanced Goblins, at least possessing the strength of First Tier Three Stars, significantly stronger than the Big Saber Goblins, and judging by their appearance and weapons, they seemed to specialize in ranged attacks.

"It seems Raccoon City is really too weak; of the three areas I’ve explored so far, only the monsters in Raccoon City lack the capability for ranged attacks, whereas even the small Crimson Iron Ants of the Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu not only attack from a distance but also possess the ability to fly, counting as aerial troops."

Well, Zhang Yanhang also knew that expecting Zombies to develop ranged attack capabilities was quite far-fetched, since the zombies there were the typical kind, with lower intelligence, unlike some other zombie movies where they not only shoot guns but also have children.

Frankly, Zhang Yanhang was completely reluctant to admit that those creatures were zombies as well, although they were called by the same name; those types of zombies were more like a higher level of Corpse Ghosts or Ogres.

By the way, although they were ranged troops, Zhang Yanhang noticed that this more advanced Goblin was actually much bulkier than the ordinary Big Saber Goblins, not only more muscular but also much taller.

If the weakest Big Saber Goblins were about the height of a third or fourth grader, then this stronger ranged Goblin had reached the size of a fifth or sixth grader—a height utterly unimaginable for those ordinary goblins, most of whom were under one meter tall.
