Chapter 433: Chapter 432: Quadruple Returns

Zhang Yanhang remembered that the last time he had acquired so many drop treasure boxes through regular hunting, it was probably when he first entered Raccoon City. At that time, he was clearing zombies in Raccoon City using the normal treasure box drop rate.

Back then, he could easily reap one or two hundred treasure boxes and had naively thought that this level of profit would continue thereafter. Unexpectedly, there was never such an opportunity again.

As for the more than a hundred treasure boxes he had gathered previously when he cleared the interior of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu?

That was hardly considered normal hunting. It was barely collective suicide by the ants, all clustered together, then wiped out in one go with his Thermo-baric Bomb. Rather than calling it hunting, it was more like a funeral.

Before opening the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang first opened his Soul points balance to take a look.

[Soul points: 18923 (+15200)]

"Just the Soul points gain from the kills amounted to 15,200 Soul points? Seems pretty good. There shouldn’t be much problem in gathering the Soul points needed to upgrade Supreme Will to LV.MAX this time. After staying at LV.3 for so long, my Supreme Will can finally be upgraded."

Zhang Yanhang had cleared an area of ten square kilometers this time, taking down roughly two thousand monsters. Among them, the bulk consisted of First Tier One-star Elite Monsters, the Big Saber Goblins. Including the one hundred from the slot machine just now, Zhang Yanhang had killed around two thousand three hundred Big Saber Goblins in total.

The rest were the First Tier Two-Star Elite Monsters, Goblin Spear Throwers, of which he had defeated just over two hundred.

"I remember the last time I got so many Soul points, it was by annihilating two-fifths of the Crimson Iron Ants in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu with a Thermo-baric Bomb.

Now, I’ve barely cleared less than a tenth of the Goblin Plain and already reaped an equivalent level of profits. The gap is just too big."

Zhang Yanhang wasn’t surprised by the scale of this discrepancy. After all, whether in terms of the number or quality of monsters, Goblin Plain completely surpassed the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu.

The quantity of monsters in Goblin Plain was double that of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, and the weakest First Tier One-star Elite Monster, Big Saber Goblin, provided double the killing profit compared to the weakest First Tier One-star Ordinary Monster, Crimson Iron Worker Ant, in the small nest.

Double times double. With this back and forth, there was instantly a fourfold difference; no wonder the current situation had arisen.

"A fourfold discrepancy means the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu would have to bring out forty percent of its monsters to match the ten percent of monsters in Goblin Plain.

Say, by the time I finish clearing the entire Goblin Plain, will the overall profit still be four times the total profit I got from clearing the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu?"

After careful consideration, Zhang Yanhang felt that it was still possible. After all, in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, he had only harvested a total of around one hundred thousand Soul points.

In Goblin Plain, perhaps four times might be difficult to achieve, given that the Ant Queen and Ant King made a significant contribution to the overall profits, but reaching twice or three times the profit of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu should not be difficult.

In other words, after he had gathered enough Soul points for upgrading Technique Immunity·Original LV.6 and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original Scripture LV.6, he should still have a large surplus of Soul points to upgrade other things.

After quickly checking his Soul points balance, Zhang Yanhang began to carefully tally the treasure boxes he earned this time. As all the treasure boxes came from Big Saber Goblins and Goblin Spear Throwers, all the treasure boxes he received this time were green treasure boxes.

After a careful count, Zhang Yanhang found that he had obtained a total of one hundred and twenty-seven treasure boxes this time, of which one hundred and sixteen came from Big Saber Goblins, and the Goblin Spear Throwers contributed just eleven.

However, while the treasure boxes from Goblin Spear Throwers were fewer, Zhang Yanhang was very much looking forward to the new items that could be opened from them. The Big Saber Goblin’s treasure boxes could only produce Medium Magic Recovery Potions.

But this time, Zhang Yanhang felt that the treasure boxes from these Goblin Spear Throwers must contain more useful items, such as equipment or other related artifacts.

With anticipation for the new treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang immediately picked up a treasure box from a Goblin Spear Thrower.

[Do you want to open the ’Drop Treasure Box (Goblin Spear Thrower)’?]

"Yes, open it." As Zhang Yanhang made his choice, the familiar Time Pause descended onto the Goblin Plain once more. Like before, Zhang Yanhang still wanted to open items that could enhance his Attack Speed or Movement Speed from the treasure boxes.

[Item Five: ?]

"Although the Goblin Spear Thrower is a First Tier Two-Star Elite Monster, one level stronger than the Big Saber Goblin, in terms of strength, it’s only comparable to First Tier Three Stars, so it still only drops green treasure boxes, and can only offer Blue Quality Equipment and artifacts at best from within.

"Hopefully, the Goblin Spear Thrower’s drop treasure box won’t contain any Medium Magic Recovery Potions this time. With Big Saber Goblins as a source, I’m not lacking Medium Magic Recovery Potions anymore, so I hope this box will contain some normal Blue Quality Equipment and artifacts, preferably those related to Attack Speed and Movement Speed."

Zhang Yanhang remembered the attribute list for Big Saber Goblins and Goblin Spear Throwers quite clearly. Their first skill could increase Movement Speed, and the second, Attack Speed.

If he couldn’t open equipment or artifacts related to these under such closely related conditions, it would indeed be a bit unreasonable.

Of course, if he couldn’t acquire them, he wouldn’t be insistent.

As long as he didn’t keep pulling out Medium Magic Recovery Potions, whatever he opened, he was generally able to accept it. After all, with his luck, as long as it could be opened, it was typically something useful. It’s just that the direction of its utility might be different.
