Chapter 428: Chapter 427: Completion of the First Tier Cleanup Plan

Although Zhang Yanhang previously mentioned he wouldn’t use spells, he had just obtained this new ability and felt the need to experiment with it, so, in the end, he still used spells a few times to kill monsters.

Of course, since the Spell List contained attack spells that were capable and relatively normal, Zhang Yanhang actually used the Frost Freeze Beam throughout the entire process. He had now become quite skillful at operating the Frost Freeze Beam.

Initially, Zhang Yanhang was worried that the spells in the Spell List might not be usable after their two free uses were exhausted, but he later found that as long as he was willing to pay the Energy Value himself, even if the free uses in the Spell List were gone, he could still launch spells as usual.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang also mastered a little trick; that is, when outputting Energy Value, increasing the output would similarly increase the power of the spell.

The original Frost Freeze Beam, which was only as thick as a pulse, could be expanded to the size of a sea bowl if he wanted, pretending to be the blue-colored Turtle Style Qi Technique.

But since that had a low cost-effectiveness, there was really no need for such an impractical trick, especially when hunting monsters like the Big Saber Goblin and Goblin Spear Thrower.

After all, the Frost Freeze Beam at its normal power could already effectively kill the Big Saber Goblin and the Goblin Spear Thrower, and it even caused a severe corpse-whipping effect. If he continued to increase the power, apart from a more serious corpse-whipping effect, it wouldn’t bring any benefits to Zhang Yanhang.

After waiting in place for a few seconds, Zhang Yanhang quickly picked up two Green quality Treasure boxes from the body of the Goblin Spear Thrower. After clearing an area of seven square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang had calculated that the Treasure box drop rate was fixed at nineteen.

Whether it was the First Tier One Star Big Saber Goblin or the First Tier Two Stars Goblin Spear Thrower, they would all drop a Treasure box after killing around nineteen of them.

"Now that I have cleared the entire ten square kilometers of the first phase of the Goblin Plain, it’s time to receive the fruits of victory that symbolize the achievement of this stage."

After picking up the Treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang immediately started heading toward the location of the Lucky Slot Machine. He had passed by there once before, only refraining from drawing prizes because the surrounding Goblins hadn’t been completely cleared. But now, he didn’t have to worry about that issue anymore.

In less than half a minute, Zhang Yanhang returned to the side of the Lucky Slot Machine.

Standing next to the Slot machine in the middle of the Goblin Plain, Zhang Yanhang began to closely inspect the various detailed information marked on its body; first, the number of first and second prizes was the same as other Slot machines, totaling three each.

However, there was a difference in the specific usage price. The cost of using this Slot machine in the Goblin Plain was six times higher than the Lucky Slot Machine in Raccoon City, with every draw requiring six Soul points.

"It seems that the usage price of this Lucky Slot Machine truly is based on the strength of the monsters in the area."

The price of the Lucky Slot Machine Zhang Yanhang encountered in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu was three points, which was the same as the Soul points obtained from killing the weakest First Tier One-star Ordinary Monster Crimson Iron Worker Ant in the same place.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang had already been suspecting that the pricing might be based on monster strength, and this time, his suspicion was thoroughly confirmed.

The weakest monster in the Goblin Plain was the First Tier One-star Elite Monster Big Saber Goblin, and indeed, the Soul points obtained from killing Big Saber Goblins were exactly six. Thus, in any case, Zhang Yanhang felt that he certainly had found the right answer.

"Let’s start the draw. I’ve worked so hard for such a long time just for this moment of drawing prizes."

As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he pulled the metal lever on the side of the Lucky Slot Machine. Along with the rotation of the lever, Time Pause descended upon the Goblin Plain once again, and at the same time, a bunch of text options that were very familiar in format popped up before Zhang Yanhang’s eyes.

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

[Option One: 777 (First Prize, ’Scroll Dragon Essence Blood (Holy Spirit Blessing)’, Quality Light Gold, Artifact.)]

[Option Two: ✮✮✮ (Second Prize, ’Scroll Dragon Blood (Magic Power Reagent)’, Dark Purple Quality, Artifact.)]

[Option Three: ✮✮✮ (Second Prize, ’Scroll Dragon Blood (Magic Power Reagent)’, Dark Purple Quality, Artifact.)]

...

[Option Thirty-two: (Third Prize, Big Saber Goblin, First Tier One-star, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option Sixty-nine: (Third Prize, Big Saber Goblin, First Tier One-star, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option One Hundred and Forty-seven: ✭✬✭ (Fourth Prize, Thank you for Your Patronage, No Physical Prize.)]

...

Although the first and second prizes were really tempting, Zhang Yanhang still resisted the temptation and began by checking the monsters in the third prize pool, starting with the number, which was the same as the other Slot machines in Raccoon City and the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, all one hundred.

Next, concerning the specific monsters, the third prize pool of the Slot machine in the Goblin Plain was different from the previous Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, where all the monsters were uniformly First Tier One-star Elite Monsters Big Saber Goblins, although in their initial state, which Zhang Yanhang thought was a bit over the top.

He clearly remembered that even in its initial state, the prize pool of the Slot machine in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu still had twenty First Tier One-star Elite Monster Crimson Iron Flying Ants. Thus, in this aspect, the Slot machine in the Goblin Plain was slightly lackluster.

But it wasn’t a big issue, as long as the Slot machine could refresh itself according to his cleaning progress later on.

"So, the question arises, can this Slot Machine be moved back to Raccoon City? Although it seems unlikely, I still feel like giving it a try."

The reason Zhang Yanhang had such a thought was mainly that he wanted to be able to brush a wave of Slot machine prize pools as soon as he entered the Ashen World later on, to save time traveling back and forth between different areas.

But even though he wanted to give it a try, Zhang Yanhang didn’t have time at the moment. He planned to deal with this matter after he finished clearing the Goblin Plain.
