Chapter 518: Chapter 517: Is This a Beaver?

Well, given Zhang Yanhang’s current situation, perhaps it is not easy to encounter Fourth Tier Monsters, and more often he would meet Fourth Tier Awakened. However, as the saying goes, the earlier you upgrade, the earlier you enjoy, and it’s always good to be prepared.

In case he was suddenly attacked by a Fourth Tier Monster one day, wouldn’t that skill come in handy? Although the probability is frighteningly low.

Therefore, to some extent, compared to the anti-interference ability, which is only effective when facing the rare Fourth Tier Monsters, increasing the Penetration Power is more practical for Zhang Yanhang.

"Now that the Penetration Power has been strengthened again, this means that the range I can scan in the Crimson Iron Ore Vein will definitely increase significantly, which will definitely assist greatly in my subsequent cleanup. It should lead to a very noticeable improvement in my hunting efficiency."

Zhang Yanhang did a simple test of his current Penetration Power and found that it had roughly doubled.

Previously, when scanning underground, he could only scan a distance of a little over 500 meters, but now, he could achieve a scanning depth of over 1000 meters, which was a truly astonishing increase.

"Over a thousand meters, even considering the attenuation on the side of the Crimson Iron Ore Vein, shouldn’t it still leave me with a perception range of at least six or seven hundred meters?"

Zhang Yanhang remembered that before he had upgraded Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to the Original Stage, he could only scan up to 200 meters in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaguli, but now, it should at least triple.

As for the exact amount of increase, he planned to test it more carefully the next time he entered the Crimson Iron Ore Vein.

"This increase in Penetration Power and Anti-interference Ability I can understand, but what does ’Increased precision in perception of surrounding objects’ mean? Does it mean increased accuracy of perception?

But I can already perceive down to the cellular level now; is there really a need to further increase the precision of perception?"

While speaking, Zhang Yanhang tested the scanning precision of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil and felt that it had indeed increased, but not too considerably.

"Huh? What is this? Does it mean that it actually enhanced some other aspects?"

Zhang Yanhang tried scanning other things, but couldn’t find any clues, as the conditions of those things still felt more or less the same.

"The previous abilities of completely perceiving the enemy’s outline and perceiving colors were very straightforward and simple, but this time the ’increased precision in perception ability’ is mysteriously vague, making it a bit baffling; wouldn’t it be better if the Riddler just rolled out?"

Due to tight timing, Zhang Yanhang decided to conduct further tests after returning to the Main World, spending more time scanning various things, which would certainly help determine what aspect of the so-called ’increased precision in perception ability’ had been enhanced.

"Moreover, the issue of energy consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil also requires a long-term usage to test, which similarly needs to wait until returning to the Main World. At that time, it will be ideal to test both aspects together."

Although the current consumption of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original LV.6 is still marked as "minimal Physical Strength consumption," it is well-known that the difference between minimal consumptions can be immensely vast.

In addition to being an enhancement at the grand stage of Original LV.6, Zhang Yanhang felt that the Physical Strength consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil must have significantly increased, and even with a conservative estimate, it must have at least doubled.

"If the situation isn’t great," Zhang Yanhang thought, "it’s quite likely for the consumption to increase more than five times, significantly reducing my endurance time. Of course, it is definitely impossible for it to drop back to two hours from nine hours like in the First Tier period."

"I just hope the Physical Strength consumption of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil doesn’t increase too much..." Since he had already prepared for an increase in the Physical Strength consumption of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, Zhang Yanhang felt that as long as the consumption increase was below five times, he could basically accept it, like maybe two or three times.

"Now that Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil has been upgraded, next up should be upgrading other skills." But before upgrading other skills, Zhang Yanhang first checked his Soul points balance.

[Soul points: 169363 (-102400)]

"Previously, I got 110,000 Soul points from Open treasure box, and now just upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill to Original LV.6 consumed 102,400 Soul points. Basically, all the Soul points I got from opening the treasure box were used up. Soul points really don’t last long.

Well, the question now is, should I upgrade Gun Master first, or Fighting Master?"

Zhang Yanhang thought carefully, and since he mainly used the Six Roots Pure Soul Crossing Spear to hunt monsters now, he decided to first promote to Gun Master Level 6, then to Fighting Master Level 6.

"Chosen! Skill Level upgrade!" After deciding to first promote Gun Master Level 6, Zhang Yanhang immediately started triggering options.

...

After spending 51,200 Soul points and a portion of Ash Source, Zhang Yanhang successfully promoted Gun Master to Grandmaster Level 5.

But he didn’t rush to promote Gun Master to Level 6 immediately. He wanted to first check the changes after the Gun Master was promoted to Grandmaster. So, he directly checked the skill effects of Grandmaster Level 5.

[Grandmaster Level 5 (Passive)]

[Skill Effect: Increase Remote attack power by 100%, enhance the proficiency of firearms and related remote combat abilities.]

[Additional Attributes: Remote attack power +50%.]

"Huh? I’ve also been promoted to Grandmaster, and there’s no improvement at all? This is absurd!"

Zhang Yanhang originally thought that even if the promotion from Gun Master to Grandmaster wasn’t great, it would still improve a bit. Because the previous Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original Level 5 and Technique Immunity·Original Level 5 each had some level of enhancement. However, Grandmaster had no improvements at all.

It could be said that except for a change in the name and Skill Level, everything else about Grandmaster Level 5 was exactly the same as Gun Master LV.MAX.

"Sigh, I was originally planning to promote Fighting Master LV.MAX to Fighting Grandmaster Level 5 using the Soul points from the Goblin Chief’s treasure box. Now it seems I better wait until I have gathered 150,000 Soul points and then promote directly to Grandmaster Level 6."

Zhang Yanhang was truly disappointed with Grandmaster Level 5, but fortunately, he was going to promote Gun Master to Level 6 soon, and by then the additional attributes of Level 6 should compensate for its Level 5 shortcomings.
