Chapter 83: Chapter 83 [Fighting Master LV.5]

"Unfortunately, I only have 300 soul points left, otherwise, I’d really like to verify whether Gun Master, like Technique Immunity and Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, will receive additional attributes when it reaches LV.6."

Attack Power had suddenly increased by 40%, and Zhang Yanhang estimated that he would no longer encounter situations where a magazine could only kill two or three Lickers.

After closing the effect of the Gun Master skill, Zhang Yanhang checked the last skill, which was the effect of the Fighting Master skill.

[Fighting Master LV.5 (Passive Skill)]

[Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 50% (+40%), and improves proficiency in fighting as well as related close combat abilities.]

"True to its name as a skill with the ’Master’ suffix, like Gun Master, it also increases attack power by 40%. Now, whether at ranged or in close combat, my attack power is significantly stronger than before I upgraded the skills."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang could take down a Licker with each punch, usually aiming for the head, but now he felt he could easily tear Lickers apart by hand just like tearing apart zombies.

"For the subsequent upgrade process, I need to accumulate another 1500 soul points, first upgrading both Gun Master and Fighting Master to LV.6, to see if additional attributes appear, and then try to elevate the Technique Immunity Skill to either LV.10 or LV.12."

After reviewing the effects of the newly upgraded five skills, Zhang Yanhang opened his data panel.

"Compared to before the Technique Immunity skill upgrade, the Shield Value has increased by 93 points, which is 3 points higher than the total Life Value of a normal human."

Zhang Yanhang highly valued the Technique Immunity Skill and planned to continue investing most of his soul points into it in the future, striving to acquire the second additional attribute for it as soon as possible, and then start upgrading the other skills.

"Everything in the treasure box has been sorted, and all the soul points have been spent, so what should I do next? Continue hunting the zombies?" As Zhang Yanhang mused, he maximized his perception range and casually scanned the various objects around him.

"Hm? Did I see that wrong?" Zhang Yanhang suddenly noticed something strange at the edge of his perception range. He had just casually scanned Dulda Apartment with Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, and to his surprise, the slot machine seemed to have refreshed its prizes—obviously, not the main first or second prizes, but the third prize, zombies, had been refreshed.

"Could it be that the slot machine’s zombies actually refresh once a day? Could there really be such a good thing?" Upon discovering this unexpected truth, Zhang Yanhang immediately packed everything into his waist bag and started heading toward Dulda Apartment.

On the way, Zhang Yanhang also took the opportunity to test his current speed and was astonished to find that he had reached 21 meters per second, a full 4 meters per second faster than before, and nearly one-fourth faster than the 17 meters per second when he had 21 points in the Agility attribute.

"This increase is indeed a bit too much; the attribute values indeed increase more the further you progress." Zhang Yanhang had actually noticed this pattern before, but hadn’t been completely sure about it until now.

Due to the detour, although it was only a thousand meters in a straight line, it took Zhang Yanhang a little over a minute to run back to Dulda Apartment from the gun store.

Returning to the familiar room 301, Zhang Yanhang closely examined the slot machine in front of him and found that the third prize had indeed been refreshed, "So it really does refresh once a day; I’m getting more and more tempted to take the slot machine back to the Main World."

If Zhang Yanhang could take the slot machine back to the Main World, then he could farm a hundred zombies every day. Besides the most common First Tier Zero Star zombies, this included First Tier One Star Zombie Dogs, and First Tier Two Stars Lickers. In this case, killing a hundred zombies would earn him several hundred soul points just for the kills, not to mention those from the treasure box, which could add up to a four-digit number of soul points.

"But unfortunately, it’s impossible to take something like the slot machine out of the Ashen World." The slot machine could neither be packed into the waist bag nor be destroyed, so Zhang Yanhang truly had no way of taking it back to the Main World; he could only play when he was in the Ashen World.

Zhang Yanhang felt the slot machine was more like a special construct of the Ashen World, similar to system structures in various games that, although they exist and are freely usable, cannot be fundamentally altered in any way.

"Alas, not being able to take the slot machine back to the Main World is really frustrating, but since the slot machine’s third prize has been refreshed, I might as well draw that prize now; after all, a hundred zombies are worth quite a bit of soul points."

After saying this, Zhang Yanhang slung the slot machine onto his shoulder, then hauled it back to its familiar spot on the street.

After eight hours, the zombie corpses in the previous pit had all disappeared, so Zhang Yanhang could continue using the pit. He felt that the pit he had dug earlier truly conformed to his initial idea of ’one-time investment, lifetime enjoyment,’ because he was likely to use it every day to draw the third prize and kill those hundred zombies.
