Chapter 520: Chapter 519: Killing the Goblin Chief Shaman Maka Baga

"Gun Mastery LV.6 itself provided a 120% remote attack power bonus, and with the additional 90% remote attack power bonus from additional attributes, it meant that I could actually enjoy a total of 210% remote attack power bonus."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang could only relish a 1.5 times total damage bonus, but now he could enjoy a 2.1 times boost, and if his own attack power was included, his remote attacks would at a minimum inflict 3.1 times damage.

An effortless normal attack was even stronger than the boost rate of a critical hit; this must be what they call ’normal attack saves the world.’

"I always feel that I might evolve into the type like a caped baldy in the future, defeating all enemies with just normal attacks, of course, my head will definitely not go bald."

Zhang Yanhang’s hair was still exceptionally thick because he had not officially switched professions to a programmer, and besides, even if he did lose hair, he wouldn’t be scared.

Other programmers use their overtime pay to get hair transplants, but he could directly use alchemy to conjure hair from thin air; so, the fate of baldness common among programmers was definitely not going to be his.

"Moreover, spell attacks are also included in the remote attack power bonus, my Scroll Dragon Bloodline Talent can perfectly adapt to the boost provided by Gun Mastery, greatly surpassing the original attack power limit of my spells."

Zhang Yanhang could only feel grateful that Gun Master provided a remote attack power boost from the start, rather than some firearm attack power boost. If that was the case, the scope of the boost would have been much too narrow, causing the value of Gun Master to significantly diminish.

"Now that the treasure box is opened, Talent upgraded, and skills are also improved, what should I do next?" Zhang Yanhang thought carefully and realized that he seemed to have no other issues to deal with, so he directly opened the data panel.

"To upgrade Gun Mastery LV.6, I ended up using 153,600 soul points, which knocked my soul point balance down from six digits to five in one fell swoop.

The remaining ten thousand or so soul points are now pretty much useless to me, so I might as well save them and use them together with the soul points that’ll come out of the treasure box dropped by the goblin chief.

Plus, aside from those 153,600 soul points, I also spent a bit of ash source, leaving me with just a sliver of it now, which I need to save for upgrading Fighting Mastery.

But thankfully, even though the ash source is running out, once I’ve cleared the Goblin Plain, I’ll be able to get more from the Ashen Treasure Box there."

Apart from upgrading skills, Zhang Yanhang’s promotion also required ash source, making this item, which could only be obtained from the Ashen Treasure Box, extremely important to him.

After checking his data panel, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to pick up the items on the ground and categorize them into the different compartments of his waist bag.

After settling everything, Zhang Yanhang had not even stood up when he suddenly heard a baffling notification of a kill.

[Successfully killed a Second Tier Two Star Monster ’Chief Shaman Goblin Maka Baga (Elite)’ ×1, soul points +100.]

"Huh? What’s going on here? How did I just accidentally kill Maka Baga while sitting here? Could I have encountered some kind of bug in the Ashen World? But that doesn’t make sense. How could there be a bug that kills monsters automatically?"

Zhang Yanhang, utterly confused, immediately scanned the area where Chief Shaman Goblin Maka Baga was located, only to find his body, now charred, lying on the ground.

In its right hand was tightly gripped a glass bottle, while a sharp metal fragment was embedded in the left side of its eye socket, possibly a shard from a weapon wielded by a Big Saber Goblin or a Goblin Wolf Cavalry.

"Aha, my thermal grenade had been exploded for at least twenty minutes now, how have you only just died? That’s a bit too tenacious. No, wait, Maka Baga wasn’t within the coverage of the thermal grenade, so it must’ve been purely the aftermath that took him out."

From the state of Maka Baga’s corpse, Zhang Yanhang surmised that he was likely on the edge of the direct coverage area of the thermal grenade, so he was just toasted by the flames and heat waves when the high-temperature, high-pressure fireball dissipated, charring his entire body.

Furthermore, he was coincidentally stabbed in the eye socket by a metal shard carried by the shock wave, which damaged part of his brain, yet he managed to run two steps further, powered by his tenacious life force and the healing potion in his pocket.

But he hadn’t gotten far before he collapsed on the ground and slipped into unconsciousness, probably remaining in that state until recently, when he finally succumbed.

"This Maka Baga was really strong, able to hold on for twenty minutes after having part of his brain damaged and nearing death—truly befitting a Dragon Vein Goblin with the power of a Second Tier Three-Star.

I had planned to inspect Maka Baga’s attribute list to see if he possessed alchemy skills before taking him down, but who knew this guy would be finished off by the remnants of a thermo-baric bomb. His death was quite theatrical."
