Chapter 492: Chapter 491 Boxing Bandages

"If we estimate based on the drop rate where you would get one treasure box for every nineteen First Tier Dragon Vein Goblins killed, then the treasure box drop rate for Big Goblins should by no means be as low as having to kill ten to get one treasure box," Zhang Yanhang thought. He felt he shouldn’t worry too much about the fusion of the Barbaric Stone Bandage +4; after all, as long as the Big Goblin’s drop rate was slightly higher, he would essentially be able to collect the required amount.

After a quick review of the attribute list for the Barbaric Stone Bandage +1, Zhang Yanhang began to ponder exactly where the bandage should be equipped. Normally, bandages should be wrapped around the body, so the question arose: where should it be tied?

Zhang Yanhang first tried tying it around his forehead like a headband and then, like a deranged serial killer with severe burns, around his face, but neither method had any effect.

After a bit of thought, he then tried wrapping it around his arm like a Discipline Committee member’s sleeve band and around his thigh like some JK’s leg ring, but unfortunately, none worked. He even tried wrapping it around his neck like a choker used by crossdressers, also to no avail.

"Since it had no effect on either the head or limbs, where exactly is this thing supposed to be equipped? Surely it doesn’t expect me to wrap the bandage directly around my body? But there isn’t enough bandage to wrap up like a mummy. At most, it’s like a Welfare girl wrapping around certain key areas.

Oh, no, maybe I’m off track here. The Barbaric Stone Bandage could very well be one of those boxing bandages. I remember many boxers like to wrap bandages around their hands before putting on the gloves.

If that truly is the case, then the additional attribute of increased Power Effect makes sense."

Zhang Yanhang decided to try wrapping it around his hand first. If that didn’t work, he’d think of something else through Multiple Choice.

To his surprise, it actually succeeded, and although both were hand equipment, the Barbaric Stone Bandage could work simultaneously with Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist, occupying the same equipment slot.

"I can’t believe it’s actually boxing bandages. Perhaps it’s because of the unique nature of such equipment that it can be used in conjunction with my gloves."

The reason Zhang Yanhang hadn’t thought of equipping it on his fists from the start was mainly because he already had the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist on his fists, which clearly couldn’t be compatible with other equipment. However, he hadn’t expected the Barbaric Stone Bandage to be an overlaying type of boxing bandage.

"There are many types of equipment like the Dragon Power Bracelet that occupy the same equipment slot, like similar bracelets and all sorts of bangles. But this niche type of boxing bandage, the Barbaric Stone Bandage, would likely be very hard to find similar types of alternative equipment."

For this reason, Zhang Yanhang reckoned the chances of the Dark Purple Quality Barbaric Stone Bandage staying with him until the Fourth Tier were much higher than the Dragon Power Bracelet +5.

After successfully equipping the Barbaric Stone Bandage +1, Zhang Yanhang glanced at the fiery red bandages on his hands. This color should be naturally more resistant to dirt, and even if soaked in blood, it wouldn’t easily change color.

Of course, whether it resisted dirt or not didn’t really matter much to Zhang Yanhang. Not to mention that the bandage was covered by the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist, just the Technique Immunity’s Energy Shield was enough to block all the bloodstains.

"Now that the Barbaric Stone Bandage +1 provides a 12.5% Strength Effect Bonus, let’s also test out my strength while we’re at it," Zhang Yanhang said, taking out the familiar ten-ton piece of reinforced concrete from his Waist Bag and immediately stacking another three-ton piece on top of it.

Since the additional 12.5% Strength Effect Bonus wasn’t too great, Zhang Yanhang cautiously added only a half-ton piece of reinforced concrete for the first increase.

But unexpectedly, after adding the half-ton, Zhang Yanhang still felt quite comfortable, so he added another half-ton piece. This time, it was clear there was no more leeway.

"So it seems, this 12.5% strength increase has roughly added about a ton to my strength, taking it from thirteen to fourteen tons. Not too shabby."

Zhang Yanhang estimated that by the time he fused the Barbaric Stone Bandage to +4, it should help him gain quite a bit more strength.

"Fourteen tons of strength... if we assume the average person weighs fifty kilograms, one of my hands can now lift 280 people. With both hands combined, plus the strength of my waist and abdomen, lifting seven or eight hundred people might not be too big of a problem."

Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but marvel; he truly was a Transcendent now, casually able to lift hundreds of people; of course, this was just theoretical. In practice, it would be quite challenging since fourteen tons of humans would occupy at least fourteen cubic meters in volume.

Considering humans aren’t easy to fold, overall, it might take a fifty cubic meter packing box to fit 280 people, not an easy feat to accomplish.

And it might still not be enough, considering that while some people with exceptional talent can fold themselves into an ordinary suitcase, others have trouble even touching their ankles when bending over.

"Hopefully, I can increase my strength even more later on so that when amplified by Giant Transformation and High-level Giant Transformation Technique, I can gain even higher benefits."

Zhang Yanhang recalled the previous test result was eighteen and a half tons, which now would nearly reach twenty tons.

After testing his strength, Zhang Yanhang began to consider what to do next. "All the treasure boxes are opened, Artifacts, Talents, and Equipment are all sorted out. Now it seems only Soul points are left. So, let’s use these Soul points to upgrade some Skills."

Zhang Yanhang picked up the Ground items before immediately opening his Soul points balance.

[Soul points: 100051 (+52980)]

"Only 100051 Soul points? Couldn’t it be just 2349 points more?" Zhang Yanhang truly felt uncomfortable with his current Soul points balance, as he needed 102400 Soul points to upgrade the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil LV.6, so he was exactly 2349 points short.
