Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Yellow Medicine Grass

[Item Five]

[Option One: Green Medicine Grass (One), Green Quality, Artifact]

[Option Two: Red Medicine Herb (One), Green Quality, Artifact]

[Option Three: Yellow Medicine Grass (One), Blue Quality, Artifact]

"Hm? Hm?! Hm?!! Blue! I’ve finally seen the quality between green and purple, so it’s blue." Zhang Yanhang thought blue, being the color between green and purple, seemed to be a fairly common and standard setting used in many games.

"Although I had suspected that I could find different colored herbs in the treasure boxes, I didn’t expect to obtain the yellow medicine grass from a Licker’s treasure box."

If possible, Zhang Yanhang still hoped that the yellow medicine grass could be obtained from ordinary zombies. Why? He silently opened the attribute list of the yellow medicine grass.

[Yellow Medicine Grass]

[Quality: Blue]

[Type: Artifact]

[Origin: Ashen World, Raccoon City, Umbrella company base, Laboratory Plantation.]

[Usage Effect: Increases Life Value Limit by 3 points.]

[Usage Requirements: Constitution less than 50 points.]

[Score: 31 (Blue item scores range from 31 to 70.)]

[Introduction: Umbrella company accidentally discovered yellow transgenic medicinal herbs during the virus development process. After discovering its miraculous effects in experiments, they immediately started small-scale cultivation and gradually found that mixing this yellow transgenic medicinal herb with other such herbs can enhance its effects; details are found in the laboratory work log recipe section...▼Click to expand.]

That’s right, this was why Zhang Yanhang desired to also obtain yellow medicine grass from ordinary zombies, because, in the world of biohazard, it could permanently increase the Life Value Limit, and this feature was perfectly replicated in the Ashen World. Unfortunately, he had no control over what monsters would drop.

"Ah, there aren’t many Lickers in Raccoon City, I remember there are only a few hundred at most. How many treasure boxes could they possibly drop?"

Although one yellow medicine grass only increases the Life Value Limit by three points, little by little, it adds up; with Zhang Yanhang’s strength, he could simply stack quantities. Sadly, the number of Lickers limited how much he could increase his limitation.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if this yellow medicine grass can also fuse with red medicine herbs to enhance its effects?"

Zhang Yanhang remembered in the Resident Evil games that the red medicine herb alone was useless, but if combined with other herbs, it could enhance those herbs’ effects—like the green medicine grass he had already obtained and the blue medicine grass he had not yet obtained.

"If it really could enhance the yellow medicine grass’ effects, then the Life Value Limit I could increase would be even greater." However, regarding this matter, Zhang Yanhang planned to wait until after he had opened all the treasure boxes before addressing it, as he still had 131 treasure boxes left to open, which was a huge task.

"So, I choose ’60 Soul Points,’ ’60 Soul Points,’ ’Slow Corrotion,’ ’60 Soul Points,’ ’Yellow Medicine Grass.’" After making the choice, time pause instantly ended, but just then Zhang Yanhang’s hand again reached for a new treasure box, plunging him back into a time pause.

......

After continuously opening one hundred and thirty-two treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang let out a slow breath, "Finally done, who knew opening treasure boxes could be tiring?" He felt he had somewhat experienced the so-called feeling of ’opening treasure boxes until sick.’

Although he didn’t particularly enjoy this sensation, if he had to choose, he still preferred to experience it frequently—perhaps once every hour would be a good frequency. Well, that was just him daydreaming.

Because he had opened 132 treasure boxes, the various artifacts and equipment filled his single bed completely, and he now needed to carefully check what he had obtained.

"Wait, before inventorying, I should first check how many Soul Points I have acquired in total." Zhang Yanhang esteemed Soul Points greatly, so he directly opened the balance of Soul Points and took a look.

[Soul Points: 7200 (+5580)]

The moment he saw the amount of Soul Points, Zhang Yanhang’s eyes went wide, "Although I expected it, this number still has a particularly strong visual impact. 5580 Soul Points were obtained from those 132 treasure boxes. Now, it’s more than just LV.10; I could even advance to a much higher level."

Zhang Yanhang did some quick calculations. According to the previous requirement of adding one hundred Soul Points for each level-up, upgrading to LV.7 needed 600 Soul Points, LV.8 needed 700 Soul Points, LV.9 needed 800 Soul Points, and LV.10 needed 900 Soul Points, which all added up to just 3000 Soul Points.

Upon completely upgrading to LV.10, with his current balance of Soul Points, he would still have 4200 remaining—enough for him to continue leveling up.

"So, according to this calculation, the small goal I had set was not only met but exceeded. The feeling of setting a goal and then working hard towards it, and eventually achieving it, really feels great."

The small goal Zhang Yanhang had set previously was to gather enough Soul Points to advance to LV.8, but now, not to mention LV.8, he could even jump straight to LV.10.

Previously, he would generally set a new goal right after achieving a small one, continually providing himself direction to strive for.

However, now that Zhang Yanhang had returned to the Main World, he decided to temporarily refrain from setting a new minor goal, as it could thoroughly wait until his next trip to the Ashen World, where he could decide on the spot depending on the situation.

Although the numerous Soul Points shocked Zhang Yanhang, he planned to deal with upgrading later, as he needed to first sort out various equipment and artifacts he had unearthed from the treasure boxes.

Firstly, regarding the artifacts, Zhang Yanhang had acquired a total of 140 Green Medicine Grassess and 130 Red Medicine Herbs from the ordinary zombies’ treasure boxes, then 20 Emergency Sprays from the Zombie Dogs’ treasure boxes, and finally 4 Yellow Medicine Grasses from the Lickers’ treasure boxes.

Including his previous inventory, Zhang Yanhang now had a total of 155 Green Medicine Grasses, 143 Red Medicine Herbs, 24 Emergency Sprays, 20 Red and Green Pills, and 4 Yellow Medicine Grasses.
