Chapter 483: Chapter 482: Completing the Third Stage Cleanup Plan

After spending about a dozen seconds picking up the twenty-plus drop treasure boxes scattered in various directions, Zhang Yanhang didn’t care too much about those of green quality, only the two drop treasure boxes of blue quality caught his attention.

"Having taken down ten Second Tier One Star Big Goblins, because they were same-tier monsters, I was able to rely on First Kills and sufficient numbers to score two blue treasure boxes upon first encounter. It’s just that I don’t know the exact drop rate for a Second-tier Monster like the Big Goblin."

Based on his previous experience, Zhang Yanhang estimated that the drop rate for Big Goblins should at least be like those of the Crimson Iron Ants in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, where killing eight or nine would drop a treasure box.

And if luck was on his side, killing seven or eight could yield one, which would then be on par with the Zombies in Raccoon City.

"Hopefully, the treasure box drop rate for the Big Goblins can be as high as possible. Although I don’t know what can be opened from their drop treasure boxes, they are sure to contain useful things, so naturally, the more, the better."

But while he was genuinely concerned about what could be found inside the Big Goblin’s blue treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang had decided to wait until the Third Stage of clearing was complete before opening them all together.

"If that’s the case, then next up, I should immediately continue hunting Dragon Vein Goblins on the Goblin Plain. My time is still quite tight, and I can’t afford to waste any more of it."

Zhang Yanhang swiftly used Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to scan the surrounding environment, and then immediately took off running towards the direction he had been clearing before.

...

An hour later, Zhang Yanhang had nearly cleared the last sixteen square kilometers of the Goblin Plain’s outer zone twenty minutes ahead of schedule.

The reason? Worrying that he might not have enough time including for opening treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang intermittently activated the Spiritual Qi Blessing and released several more Death Waves, thereby saving roughly twenty minutes.

Zhang Yanhang glanced at his watch, "It’s three-thirty in the morning. There’s only two and a half hours left until the Transmission Channel closes at six, and I still have the twenty-square-kilometer middle layer area and the ten-square-kilometer core area left to clear.

With thirty square kilometers in total and considering my current efficiency of four and a half minutes per square kilometer, I need to spend a hundred and thirty-five minutes, that is, two hours and fifteen minutes, leaving only a fifteen-minute margin.

So, it seems I’ll have to intermittently activate the Spiritual Qi Blessing again later during the clearing of the middle layer area, and also increase the usage frequency of the Death Wave Skill, in an effort to clear the remaining area of the Goblin Plain as soon as possible."

However, clearing the Goblin Plain’s middle layer area was a task for later. Right now, what Zhang Yanhang needed to do was to open some treasure boxes. Since he had an emergency plan as a safety net, he was sure to clear the Goblin Plain before the Transmission Channel closed, so he still had time to open a treasure box and wasn’t in that much of a rush.

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

[Soul points: 47071 (+32500)]

"After cleaning only 20 square kilometers, I’ve gained 32500 soul points, which isn’t a bad profit. However, if the gains are only to this extent, it will be quite difficult to gather the 100,000 soul points needed to upgrade ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original’ to LV.6.

Although I had over 10,000 soul points left from before, adding them up now only gives me a balance of 47071 soul points. Trying to obtain the remaining 53000 soul points from treasure boxes, no matter how I think about it, seems to be pushing it to the limit, with a high probability of failure."

Zhang Yanhang had just completed the third stage of the Goblin Plain cleansing plan, clearing an area of 20 square kilometers and taking down roughly four to five thousand Dragon Vein Goblins.

Of course, this number includes several hundred Goblins from the Nu Dao Tribe; otherwise, Zhang Yanhang’s total kill count this time would probably have barely exceeded four thousand.

The majority were First Tier One Star Elite Monsters, the Big Saber Goblins. Zhang Yanhang had almost killed about four thousand of this type of Dragon Vein Goblin alone.

Next in line were the First Tier Two Star Elite Monsters, the Goblin Spear Throwers. Zhang Yanhang had killed about seven hundred in total this time, mostly in the outer zone, with only a few from the Nu Dao Tribe.

Then came the First Tier Three Star Ordinary Monsters, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry. Since there were absolutely none of these in the outer area, all of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry Zhang Yanhang killed this time were from the Nu Dao Tribe, totaling to about one to two hundred, unexpectedly numerous.

Last were the least numerous Second Order One Star Ordinary Monsters, the Big Goblins. These, like the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, were all from the Nu Dao Tribe and Zhang Yanhang had killed a total of ten.

"Speaking of which, it’s been an hour, why does it seem like there’s still no movement from the Goblin Wolf Cavalry?"

Zhang Yanhang had previously thought that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry would expedite the encirclement and allow him to kill even more Big Goblins and gain more blue treasure boxes, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be no activity from the Goblin Wolf Cavalry at all?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but use ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’ to scan the situation with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and the result was somewhat surprising to him. The Goblin Wolf Cavalry was actually staying by the side of the Goblin Chief.

The Goblin Chief was continuously summoning various branches from the middle layer area, intending to launch a major assault and completely take out Zhang Yanhang, the invader.

"Didn’t expect this Goblin Wolf Cavalry to actually get smart this time, very good, truly worthy of a First Tier Three Star Monster with eleven points of Intelligence, comparable to two ordinary adults, with much higher intelligence than creatures like the Crimson Iron Ants that only possess simple ganglia and lack real brains."

Zhang Yanhang genuinely felt quite pleased with the current situation, after all, if the enemy wanted to group up, then of course he would assist them in being wiped out in one fell swoop.

"If I can take out these branches of the middle layer area all at once, then time or whatever will no longer be an issue, it can become very abundant. And for now, what I need to do is open treasure boxes for a while and try to wait for them."

Zhang Yanhang felt that since the enemy was assembling, it was necessary to let them complete their assembly, for that would make cleaning up the most convenient.
