Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion

After settling on a specific price, Zhang Yanhang began to focus on repairing the light golden quality ring. Since it was just an ordinary light golden ring and not one that had been elevated to light golden quality through fusion, Zhang Yanhang repaired it very quickly, and in no time at all, it was done.

After repairing the light golden quality ring, Zhang Yanhang checked its attribute list and found that it was an item that could increase the attack power of summoned creatures, which indeed made it quite suitable for the group leader.

After all, the Curse Binding Vajra Talent was essentially a summoning talent, although it also provided some other, more direct offensive capabilities.

After briefly scrutinizing the attribute list of the light golden quality ring to ensure it still maintained its light golden quality and that the additional attributes appeared to have no anomalies, Zhang Yanhang immediately threw the ring back through the transmission channel.

"You have unexpectedly good skills," Gu Mingyue remarked as she checked the attribute list of the ring upon receiving it. Aside from a slight reduction in the maximum durability, everything else was pretty much the same as before, and thanks to that, even the score had not changed much, showing only a single-digit decline.

"So, since that’s the case, I take it our transaction is perfectly concluded now?" Apart from the deal, Zhang Yanhang felt that he had asked everything he wanted to, so he was starting to want to end the chat.

"Are you sure there’s nothing else you want to ask? If you suddenly remember something important that you forgot to ask later, I won’t have time to answer you. I have other matters to attend to," said Gu Mingyue who, although she liked to spend most of her time lying in bed as leisurely as Zhang Yanhang, still couldn’t afford to be too idle as a Fourth Tier Awakened. For example, this time, the relevant department needed her for something.

"I’ve thought about it carefully and feel there might be something else, like how to use that repair talisman paper."

Zhang Yanhang felt that this was definitely something worth asking about thoroughly because if he were to use it incorrectly and the talisman became defunct, he could easily afford the materials for a new one, but what he feared most was a delay in time. That would be the most troublesome.

"Didn’t I tell you before? Just stick it on the correct spot and then leave it be. Let it slowly absorb the surrounding energy to repair itself. Depending on the variation in the spatial channels, the teleportation channel should be successfully repaired in as short as three to four days or at most a week.

In fact, it’s not much of a problem even if the placement is slightly off, as long as it’s roughly within that range. It’s essentially foolproof—one-touch operation, and all subsequent repair work is handled automatically."

To enable her cousin to repair teleportation channels by himself, Gu Mingyue had truly spared no effort in this matter.

"Oh, then there’s no problem. You can close the transmission channel." Zhang Yanhang really liked this automatic repair method, which allowed him to just stick the talisman in place and then go hunt monsters in the forest. By the time he had cleared the forest, the transmission channel would likely already be fixed.

After confirming that Zhang Yanhang truly had no more questions to ask, Gu Mingyue directly closed the transmission channel, as the time for her appointment with the relevant department was fast approaching, and she did not want to be late.

Zhang Yanhang looked at the two items he had just exchanged on the dormitory bed. First, he took the piece of talisman paper and slipped it into his waist bag; he would have to wait until his next venture into the Ashen World to enter the sewers of Raccoon City and use it to repair the abandoned transmission channel.

After stowing away the talisman paper, Zhang Yanhang picked up the bottle of dark purple quality red medicine and immediately began to inspect the attribute list.

[Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion]

[Quality: Dark Purple]

[Type: Artifact]

[Origin: Ashen World, Jurassic Park, Dinosaur Laboratory, Henry Wu.]

[Usage Effect: Agility +2, Energy Value Recovery Speed +3.]

[Usage Requirements: Agility less than 50 points.]

[Score: 220 (Dark Purple Items score from 151 to 260.)]

[Introduction: The fierce Tyrannosaurus, developed by the top geneticist Dr. Wu, is a high-intelligence top terrestrial predator that combines the ferocity and cunning of over ten animal genes, including tyrannosaur, velociraptor, squid, tree frog, and viper. This potion is made by extracting the essence of it.]

"Another dinosaur gene potion, and again, a velociraptor’s, although it’s been renamed fierce Tyrannosaurus. Judging from the introduction and the usage effects, the velociraptor’s genes must still be dominant.

Otherwise, if the Tyrannosaurus’s genes were dominant, it would probably increase the Strength Attribute or maybe the Constitution Attribute instead.

I mean, did the group leader poke a dinosaur nest or something? How come he has so many dinosaur gene potions? Although the last one belonged to a game called Dinosaur Fighter, and this time it’s Jurassic Park from a movie—oh, wait, Jurassic Park is also a game."

Given this situation, Zhang Yanhang guessed that perhaps the group leader had focused on clearing a batch of areas related to dinosaur games at that time, which would make sense.

Indeed, many similar areas are actually connected to each other. For example, The Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu that Zhang Yanhang cleared before is actually surrounded by a bunch of other Crimson Iron Ant Nests, it’s just that he didn’t go there because they were too far away.

The transmission channel that the group leader visited back then might have been similar to the Crimson Iron Ore Vein layout. It could have been a continent with only dinosaur monsters or a huge island in the sea. Both scenes are common in games and quite suitable environments for dinosaurs to thrive.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang had an odd premonition that the group leader probably had other dinosaur-related gene potions, but most likely, they were reserved for his cousin.

"I can understand this fierce Tyrannosaurus adding to the Agility Attribute since it’s velociraptor genes that are dominant, but what’s up with the Energy Value Recovery Speed? It’s a bit baffling. Could it be that velociraptors from the Jurassic Era could actually use energy attacks?"

While he didn’t dismiss the possibility that the Jurassic Era had innate spiritual energy without the need for a Spiritual Qi Recovery, Zhang Yanhang felt a more reasonable explanation might be that it’s an expression of the fierce Tyrannosaurus’s high intelligence. After all, the introduction specifically highlighted it as a high-intelligence top terrestrial predator.

Regarding the fierce Tyrannosaurus, Zhang Yanhang had a pretty deep impression because of the movie, being strong both in learning and communication abilities. Due to the mixture of primate genes, it maintained at least chimpanzee-level Intelligence and could even command other velociraptors to encircle enemies strategically.

Of course, it’s also possible that the fierce Tyrannosaurus simply mutated in the Ashen World and consequently evolved the Talent to control energy.

"This +3 to Energy Value Recovery Speed should not refer to some 3%, but to a +3 point increase in Energy Value Recovery Speed, meaning you can recover an additional three points of Energy per hour. I just wonder if there will also be a bonus to this aspect when it comes to the Limitless Universe Skill."

If increasing the energy value recovery efficiency of the Limitless Universe Skill correspondingly would be possible, then this three-point increase in energy value recovery efficiency might be quite useful, but if not, it might be more or less useless.

Fortunately, these three points of bonus were incidental, and Zhang Yanhang valued the increase of two points in the Agility attribute the most. As long as there was no issue there, it would be fine.

Well, perhaps it was mainly because the value of these three points of energy value recovery efficiency wasn’t too high. If it could enhance by six points, Zhang Yanhang might have been more impressed, but three points really weren’t great.

"Since I have successfully obtained this Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion, I might as well use it now. After using it, there will be no more obstacles to advancing to the Third Tier. I just need to gather enough soul points to raise my profession level and use the Ash Source to directly promote my rank."

Before using it, Zhang Yanhang briefly inspected the appearance of the Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion, and calling it a bottle might be a bit inappropriate because, like the Mutated Velociraptor Gene Potion he used before, it was the type with a needle at the bottom, requiring injection.

Moreover, though the exterior of the Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion was red, the inside was actually closer to a semi-transparent color, with only a small amount of blood-red visible.

After a brief observation of the Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion, Zhang Yanhang immediately stripped off his equipment that provided an Agility attribute bonus to prevent it from affecting the injection.

When he confirmed that his Agility attribute value had dropped back down to 48 points, meeting the usage requirements of the Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion, Zhang Yanhang immediately jabbed the needle into his arm and quickly injected all of the medicine.

With an unnatural bulge appearing in his veins, he felt a warm current rapidly spreading throughout his body and then dissipated just as quickly, the entire enhancement process taking less than a second.

Having used so many enhancing potions, Zhang Yanhang was fairly familiar with this process. The enhancing potions of the Ashen World were indeed of this style, quite simple and unadorned, hardly showing any exaggerated special effects. But it didn’t matter as long as the enhancement effects were successfully accounted for in the end.

After injecting the Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion, Zhang Yanhang skillfully put back on all the equipment he had removed earlier and immediately opened his data panel to start checking it.

"The Agility attribute has increased by another two points after using the Fierce Tyrannosaurus Gene Potion, finally advancing from the original naked state of 48 points to the Second Tier Limit of fifty points. With this, all my four main attributes have been elevated to the Second Tier Limit.

Now that all the main attributes have been elevated to the Second Tier Limit, they should all receive the main attribute prize when promoting ranks in the future. Although I don’t know what the Third Tier main attribute prize will be, it will definitely be stronger than the Second Tier."

As Zhang Yanhang had said previously, after all main attributes reached the Second Tier Limit, he could now focus on striving to advance to the Third Tier.

Although his profession level had just reached LV.14, it wasn’t a big problem; he should be able to gather the soul points needed to raise to LV.20 with a little effort, at most just under a hundred thousand soul points.

Therefore, compared to soul points, Zhang Yanhang valued the Ash Source even more. If all went well, he should be able to advance from the Second to the Third Tier by just consuming Ash Source, similar to how he advanced from the First to the Second Tier. He just didn’t know how much Ash Source it would take.

But he thought being a Heavenly Destiny Master shouldn’t make things too difficult for him. It probably wouldn’t take many Ash Source points; perhaps, if the Heavenly Destiny Master was kind enough, it might take just two points of Ash Source to advance in rank. Thus, looking at it in this way, there truly were no obstacles to his advancement to the Third Tier.

"Since there are no obstacles, I should be able to directly advance to the Third Tier after clearing the forest. I’m really looking forward to it."

Zhang Yanhang couldn’t wait to go to the Ashen World and clear out that forest, but unfortunately, the cooldown period of the teleportation channel was something he couldn’t change.
