Chapter 475: Chapter 474 The Fastest Legend of Goblin Plain

The second route would be to restore Energy Value through extensive use of Medium Magic Recovery Potions, and then use this part of the Energy Value to activate the Spiritual Qi Blessing, giving Zhang Yanhang’s Movement Speed a 100% enhancement buff, which would directly increase his Movement Speed to 0.5 Mach.

This way, although both methods involve consuming medicine, there indeed would be quite noticeable differences. They are completely different routes, but regardless of whether releasing the Death Wave Skill or activating Spiritual Qi Blessing, both could substantially increase Zhang Yanhang’s hunting efficiency.

Moreover, if he still couldn’t keep up with the pace, he could simply combine these two routes into one.

By consuming Green Medicinal Herbs and Medium Magic Recovery Potions at the same time, and by increasing his Movement Speed to 0.5 Mach while quickly releasing the Death Wave Skill, the entire Goblin Plain would be cleared in no time.

With a Movement Speed of 0.5 Mach, Zhang Yanhang would need only about three seconds on average to run out of the Death Wave Skill’s area of effect and release his Death Wave Skill again, which could cover approximately 0.2 square kilometers each time.

Calculating this way, to cover an area of fifty square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang would need to release the Death Wave Skill at most 250 times, which would take three seconds each time, adding up to 750 seconds to speedrun through the Goblin Plain. Dividing that by sixty seconds equates to 12.5 minutes.

"It seems that the Goblin Plain’s remaining area could be cleared in just 12.5 minutes, but in practice, this is just an ideal situation. After all, in reality, it’s quite likely that five Death Waves won’t be able to cover a square kilometer.

Furthermore, if I choose this plan, I must consume a large quantity of Green Medicinal Herbs and Medium Magic Recovery Potions to achieve it.

Previously, when I was First Tier, it would take about fifty Green Medicinal Herbs to fully restore my Physical Strength, and now with my Second Tier Stamina limit, I estimate I would need at least five or six hundred Green Medicinal Herbs just to fully recover my stamina, and that’s just for a full recovery.

My current Physical Strength limit can only release the Death Wave sixty times. Releasing it 250 or nearly 300 times would require me to restore my Physical Strength five times. Assuming it takes 500 herbs to restore once, that means I would need to consume 2,500 Green Medicinal Herbs.

However, the number of Green Medicinal Herbs I currently have totals just over a thousand, barely enough to restore my Physical Strength limit three times before running out. That is to say, I can only clear an area of thirty square kilometers, which is insufficient to carry out the entire clearance plan."

For this reason, while a 750-second speedrun through the Goblin Plain is certainly a nice idea, it’s not a feasible possibility for Zhang Yanhang at the moment.

And it’s for this reason he didn’t begin his planning with any sort of flashy operation like a 1650-second speedrun through the entire Goblin Plain. He simply couldn’t do it.

If he could, then Zhang Yanhang would undoubtedly execute this plan without hesitation. In less than half an hour, he could clear the entire Goblin Plain, then spend an hour or two collecting treasure boxes, and it would still be a big profit.

Then, he could use the time saved within the limited ten and a half hours to clear the surrounding mountains, forests, and great walls with speedrunning.

Unfortunately, the Green Medicinal Herb, which is essential to this plan, is essentially a non-renewable resource. Although he can barely obtain a small amount of Green Medicinal Herbs by clearing Raccoon City, at most they would still only be in the hundreds, and reaching the four-digit numbers of the Peak Period is definitely impossible.

Moreover, even the four-digit number of the Peak Period barely totals over a thousand. To execute the entire plan, a five-digit quantity of Green Medicinal Herbs would be needed.

Thus, regretfully, this exceptionally attractive plan has already come to an end before it began due to the shortfall in the critical quantity of Green Medicinal Herbs.

Because of this reason, Zhang Yanhang only considered this plan as an emergency backup strategy, it’s merely a temporary measure in case he runs out of time. If he were to use it for an extended period, he simply wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

The third scheme, also based on Medium Magic Recovery Potions, which involves using a large number of Magic Potions to manufacture Thermo-baric Bombs+3 to bombard the Goblin Plain, has a different reason for being considered an emergency backup plan by Zhang Yanhang.

The third plan is considered just an emergency backup not because of a shortage of Magic Potions, but rather because he didn’t prepare in advance.

After all, the difference between Thermo-baric Bombs+3 and ordinary Thermo-baric Bombs is pretty significant. An ordinary Thermo-baric Bomb’s blast could cover a diameter of just over a hundred meters, but a Thermo-baric Bomb+3’s blast radius is one thousand meters.

While it may seem like just under a tenfold difference, due to the area formula for circles, the difference in coverage actually amounts to tens to hundreds of times more.

Simple calculations reveal that the coverage area of a hundred-meter diameter is only 0.008 square kilometers, while a thousand-meter diameter covers about 0.8 square kilometers—a true hundredfold difference.

So even if the coverage of ordinary Thermo-baric Bombs is slightly more, reaching a bit over a hundred meters, the difference from Thermo-baric Bombs+3 is still dozens of times over.

Therefore, from this perspective, if Zhang Yanhang were to only use ordinary Thermo-baric Bombs to bombard the Goblin Plain, it would simply be a loss, and it would be better to use them after fusing them into Thermo-baric Bombs+3.

But the fusion of Thermo-baric Bombs is something that requires Zhang Yanhang to operate manually, and it takes time—and not just tossing a Thermo-baric Bomb into the Alchemy Array and having a Thermo-baric Bomb+3 come out a second later.

So, even though Zhang Yanhang’s current fusion speed is already fast, fusing higher quality items like Thermo-baric Bombs+3 still takes several minutes to complete, making it about the same as clearing the Goblin Plain by himself.

It’s for this reason that Zhang Yanhang says this medicine-consuming strategy of creating Thermo-baric Bombs to bombard the Goblin Plain needs to be prepared in advance in order to be effectively executed.

After all, he has plenty of idle time in the Main World, and casually taking the time (such as the time spent sleeping) would easily allow him to prepare a few dozen Thermo-baric Bombs+3 through medicine consumption, but he really doesn’t have the time to prepare Thermo-baric Bombs+3 in the Ashen World.
