Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Replicating Limei Barbecue

After briefly categorizing various loot, Zhang Yanhang immediately started to count the number of Talents he had acquired this time, which totaled two hundred and fifty-five E-grade Talents "Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)."

Zhang Yanhang previously had three hundred and fifty "Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)" left in his Waist Bag, and now with those he had just acquired, he had a total of six hundred and five "Thin Dragon Vein (Mixed)."

"Six hundred and five Thin Dragon Veins, that’s indeed quite a lot, but unfortunately, the number of Thin Dragon Vein Talents needed to upgrade to SS-grade is even higher, needing a total of seven hundred and twenty-nine Thin Dragon Veins."

Zhang Yanhang did a quick calculation and realized he still needed one hundred and twenty-four more Thin Dragon Veins to upgrade the Scroll Dragon Bloodline to SS-grade and unlock the subsequent Sixth Circle Spells.

"I didn’t expect to be short by one hundred and twenty-four Thin Dragon Veins. It seems I can only wait until I have killed all those Dragon Vein Goblins in the Middle Layer area before I can upgrade the Talent Quality of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline."

Zhang Yanhang had originally hoped that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry would bring more Dragon Vein Goblins to besiege him and help him gather the quantity of Thin Dragon Veins needed to upgrade to SS-grade Talent in one go, but in the end, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry only brought a Nu Dao Tribe, which thwarted Zhang Yanhang’s plan.

"But it’s okay to wait a bit longer as long as I can gather enough eventually. The worst is the Ant Power series of Talents. Despite clearing an entire small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, I’ve only managed to upgrade to S-grade, far from SS-grade, even though the Slow Corrotion series of Talents were forcibly upgraded to the SS-grade Longevity Mountain and Fortune Sea phase."

Of course, in terms of the actual situation, although the zombies in Raccoon City were not quite sufficient, Zhang Yanhang had been cultivating for a longer time, and had managed by relying on Ashen World’s automatic refresh and the slot machine’s third prize pool to gather enough to upgrade Slow Corrotion.

Because he had allowed ample refresh time for Raccoon City, although the total number of monsters in Raccoon City was only seven thousand, Zhang Yanhang managed to kill nearly seven thousand zombies alone.

Adding more than a thousand Zombie Dogs and several hundred Police Zombies, when Zhang Yanhang did his final tally, he had killed over nine thousand zombies, with a completion rate of 122.3% for the area. Nearly a quarter of these excess zombies all came from the automatic refresh and the slot machine prize pool.

And later on, Zhang Yanhang continued to kill a four-figure number of zombies, which added up to more than the number of Crimson Iron Ants, and he indeed killed tens of thousands of zombies.

Moreover, most of these zombies were killed by Zhang Yanhang during his First Tier Period. Not only were the numbers greater, but the Treasure box drop rate was incomparable, which is why, despite the designated quantity of Raccoon City zombies being less, he could upgrade the Slow Corrotion series of Talents to SS-grade Quality.

But what about the Crimson Iron Ants inside the small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu? Not only were there only ten thousand of them, but also because Zhang Yanhang hunted too quickly, they didn’t get much chance to refresh.

Moreover, with the Rank Penalty after his promotion to the Second Tier causing a pitiful Treasure box drop rate, this resulted in Zhang Yanhang barely gathering enough Ant Power needed to upgrade to S-grade, even after clearing the entire small-sized Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, and SS-grade was still far off.

Zhang Yanhang remembered that he seemed to have only a hundred and ninety-one Ant Powers, leaving him five hundred and thirty-eight Ant Powers short of upgrading his S-tier Talent "Bear Power" to SS-tier Quality. Put in percentage terms, that meant he was still seventy-four percent away from his goal.

In other words, Zhang Yanhang had only gathered one-quarter of the required Ant Powers, and he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the new area in the Crimson Iron Ore Vein.

When the Transmission Channel opened next time, Zhang Yanhang would definitely be the first to go and excavate the last segment of the channel to find the new area and raise his S-tier Talent "Bear Power" to SS-tier.

After tallying up his Equipment, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to count the Artifacts he had gained, opening a total of 618 Medium Magic Recovery Potions this time.

Adding the previously remaining 1845 Medium Magic Recovery Potions, Zhang Yanhang now had more than two thousand Medium Magic Recovery Potions in hand, reaching a total of 2463 bottles.

Although Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Value limit had increased to 2030 points, his stock of Medium Magic Recovery Potions had also risen accordingly, enabling him to recover his Energy Value 121 consecutive times with the 2463 bottles he had now.

This made Zhang Yanhang even more eager to start manufacturing Thermo-baric Bombs, but unfortunately, despite his keenness to begin immediately, he simply couldn’t find the time right now and would have to wait until after clearing the Goblin Plain before he could comfortably manufacture Thermo-baric Bombs and fuse Thermo-baric Bomb +3.

Without a doubt, the number of Thermo-baric Bombs Zhang Yanhang could produce had increased; his current stock of Medium Magic Recovery Potions would allow him to make 3284 Thermo-baric Bombs, which was an explosive increase of 824 bombs from the previous 2460.

Of course, since there was a surge in the number of Thermo-baric Bombs, the quantity of Thermo-baric Bomb +3 naturally also sharply increased, with the production numbers successfully climbing from 308 to 411, a total rise of 103 Thermo-baric Bomb +3.

"I used to have enough Thermo-baric Bomb +3 to plow through the capital of South Korea, Han City, three times over," he thought, "and now, I could entirely replicate a ’Limei Barbecue’ event in Tokyo City. I just wonder if, by recreating an even more thorough ’Limei Barbecue’ and leveling the whole of Tokyo City, Japan would still award me their highest honor, the ’Order of the Rising Sun, Grand Cordon,’ as thanks for my great contribution in easing their population pressure and alleviating their aging population."

Zhang Yanhang had heard that the level of cutthroat competition in Tokyo City was no less severe than in Han City. If someone invited him to go there in the future, he would undoubtedly be more than happy to help them end that internal struggle. After all, everyone could happily go hand in hand to heaven, where such endless competition was needless because heaven had it all.

By the way, the total area of Tokyo City in Japan is 2155 square kilometers, which is about one-fifth of the total area of the Qin Island City where Zhang Yanhang resided.

Thus, although the number of Thermo-baric Bomb +3 Zhang Yanhang could now produce looked substantial, in reality, they were only enough to annihilate a small country or so. They were hardly significant to an Empire with its vast territory.
