Ashen God-Chapter 674 - 673 EX Level [Ashen Treasure Box (Demonized Swamp)]

Chapter 674: Chapter 673 EX Level [Ashen Treasure Box (Demonized Swamp)]

And Zhang Yanhang’s Death Wave Skill could passively reduce the enemy’s defensive power by 12%. In practice, the final damage dealt would be at least 28 times higher. That is to say, it effectively tripled the damage.

Moreover, apart from this, Zhang Yanhang also had various other enhancements, easily bringing his damage multiplier to at least thirty. And then, he could increase his damage again by invoking Spiritual Energy. Going by the standard doubling of enhancements, Zhang Yanhang could ultimately deal sixty times the original Attack Power of cannon bullets.

Therefore, in practice, the damage of the Pure Soul Gun at 7.1 Mach speed, equivalent to six times that of a three Mach bullet, might not seem too high, but that wasn’t a problem. With plenty of enhancements on him, a ten-fold increase was easily feasible, reaching a frightening sixty-fold extent.

This might also be why Zhang Yanhang’s use of the Soul Crossing Spear to hunt monsters always resulted in massively overflowing damage – mainly because the enhancements on him were too plentiful, to the point that anything he used could cause a terrifying amount of damage.

The reason he had so many enhancements might be that Zhang Yanhang had always liked stacking Passives.

"So, the question arises, now that I’ve completed the exchange, what should I do next?" Though Zhang Yanhang felt like sleeping at the moment, after struggling with the thought, he decided he should first go and collect the Ashen Treasure Boxes in the Demonized Swamp Zone.

Once he thought of this, Zhang Yanhang immediately began heading towards the position of the Demonized Swamp Evaluation Settlement Box. It wasn’t too far from here, or rather, considering his current Movement Speed, no place in the Demonized Swamp was really that far.

...

October 27, Tuesday, the day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the third day since Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, 10:31 PM, Demonized Swamp, Western Forest, Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box.

Looking at the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box in front of him, which was continuously flashing golden light, Zhang Yanhang immediately started to inspect its Attribute list. Or rather, he began examining the Evaluation Settlement list.

[Introduction: An Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box automatically generated by the Ashen World, capable of real-time calculation of the Current Area Comprehensive Evaluation Level and generating a corresponding level of Ashen Treasure Box.]

"How should I put it... the comprehensive completion rate is just about passable, barely exceeding 100% at 101.7%, at a bare minimum level.

Although it’s just scraping by the passing mark, at least it’s an EX level. And although the completion rate of this Demonized Swamp Area seems quite lackluster.

It’s still a tiny bit higher than the completion rate of the Goblin Plain Region I dealt with before, albeit very slightly higher indeed."

If Zhang Yanhang remembered correctly, the completion rate in the Goblin Plain Region was not high either, only 101.5%. Although the Demonized Swamp was higher, it was only pitifully 0.2% higher in completion rate, hardly a significant difference.

Last time he cleared the Goblin Plain, he did it all at once, so he completely missed the completion score of the monsters that were refreshed later. This time in the Demonized Swamp, he didn’t manage to hunt any of the newly refreshed monsters either.

The difference between the Goblin Plain Region and the Demonized Swamp Zone was that Zhang Yanhang played the Lucky Slot Machine third prize pool only once in the Goblin area, while he played it three times in the Demonized Swamp.

So, the 0.2% difference in completion rate under broadly similar conditions was solely because Zhang Yanhang had played the third prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine two more times. There were practically no other variables.

"It seems with my current speed of clearing monsters, I could easily clean out any area in one go. I’m afraid that the future area completion rates are going to hover within the 101%-102% range, unless I encounter some massive area that I can’t clear within four or five days and have to go through a second round.

If that’s the case, I could slightly improve my completion rate by hunting monsters that have respawned and gaining a bit more from them. I’m not asking for much, just to exceed 102% would be enough."

"But that kind of vast area probably isn’t easy to find, or rather, I should have almost no chance of encountering it."

Although a completion degree of just over 100% would suffice, Zhang Yanhang still missed the time in Raccoon City when he achieved over 120% completion.

"This time’s evaluation settlement list, the first half is all the same as last time, with no change in the number of demonized mane-tooth beasts, demonized dog-tooth giant apes, and demonized saber-toothed tigers compared to last time.

But that’s normal, after all, I only checked the evaluation settlement list three and a half hours ago, at seven o’clock last night. In these three and a half hours, I didn’t hunt any demonized mane-tooth beasts, demonized dog-tooth giant apes, or demonized saber-toothed tigers, so naturally, their numbers wouldn’t change. fгeewebnovёl.com

The latter half, however, saw a big change, I spent three and a half hours clearing out all the remaining demonized emperor crocodiles, demonized mammoths, demonized four-eyed wild boars, and the lord monster demonized four-eyed wild boar queen, Peppa Pig.

Moreover, a large part of this time was spent unlocking treasure boxes and organizing various items that came out of the boxes. Otherwise, I’m afraid it would have taken at most just over an hour to kill these remaining monsters."

Zhang Yanhang actually felt quite satisfied with the overall clearing progress this time. After all, he was previously worried that he might not be able to clear the entire demonized swamp in four days, but now it’s all been cleared in less than three days.

After inspecting the evaluation settlement treasure box of the demonized swamp zone, Zhang Yanhang immediately began the evaluation level settlement.

[Do you want to open the ’Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box (Demonized Swamp)’?]

"Yes, open the treasure box." As before, although he was unlocking a box, Zhang Yanhang was unable to trigger any options or time pause; instead, a small metal treasure box flashing with colorful light suddenly appeared in his hand.

[You have obtained the EX-level ’Ashen Treasure Box (Demonized Swamp)’.]

Zhang Yanhang, looking at the colorful metal treasure box in his hand, both familiar and unfamiliar, inspected it briefly before directly placing it into his waist bag—right, he didn’t plan to open the Ashen Treasure Box right now.

Zhang Yanhang planned to wait until later when he opened other drop treasure boxes to open this Ashen Treasure Box together.

Plus, even if he really wanted to open the Ashen Treasure Box, it couldn’t just be done outright; he had to make selections first, that is, to trigger the options related to tarot cards. Otherwise, he would waste a chance to obtain a Divination Tarot Card, and he was counting on the divination tarot card to level up soon.

"So, here comes the question, since I’ve now completely cleared the entire demonized swamp zone and also claimed the Ashen Treasure Box from the demonized swamp, what should I do now? Clean up the monsters in Raccoon City and the Goblin Plain? No, that’s something I need to do tomorrow.

Is it to clear the prize pool of the third prize of the lucky slot machine in Raccoon City, Goblin Plain, and demonized swamp? No, that’s already been cleared today, and I need to wait until tomorrow for the refresh."

Zhang Yanhang thought about it carefully and felt like he really didn’t have anything else to do and could go to sleep peacefully waiting for tomorrow, so he immediately activated a teleportation to return to Raccoon City.

...

October 27, Tuesday, the day after the Double Ninth Festival and also Zhang Yanhang’s third day in the Ashen World, 10:32 p.m., Raccoon City, Dulda Apartment, Unit 301, Old Wooden Bed (Crimson Iron).

Lying on the old wooden bed, Zhang Yanhang hadn’t exhausted all his physical strength, so he hadn’t fallen directly into sleep yet. Instead, he began to contemplate one thing: whether he should go straight to the transmission channel related to the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu upon returning to the Main World.

Primarily, if Zhang Yanhang remembered correctly, he was supposed to leave the Ashen World at 6 a.m. on October 29th, while the next opening time for the transmission channel to the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu was at 4 p.m. on the same day.

Therefore, once he returned to the Main World, considering sleep, he would have only about ten hours of rest. And during those ten hours, he might still need to find some time to fight a Permanent Teleportation Channel, so, in this regard, time was indeed a bit tight.

"I feel like I might need to return to the Main World ahead of schedule for the first time, after all, the schedule is somewhat tight..."

Previously, in the Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang would always wait until the transmission channel was about to close before returning to the Main World via the automatically triggered option, but this time, he might actively trigger the option to return immediately as soon as the channel to the Main World opened.

"But the problem is, if I do that, I won’t be able to scrounge a free round on the lucky slot machine’s third prize pool before I leave."

However, upon further thought, Zhang Yanhang realized it wasn’t a big issue. After all, it wasn’t like he couldn’t come back. He could simply return temporarily at 5 a.m., clear out the lucky slot machine’s third prize pool, and then return to the Main World.

As someone with mild decision-making difficulties, Zhang Yanhang decided to leave this issue to think over the next day.

"Since I can’t make a decision now, I might as well go straight to sleep. After all, I’ve been working for ten hours straight; it’s indeed time for some rest." But as he was fairly energetic, it took him quite a while lying on the bed before he finally fell into a deep sleep.

...

October 28, Wednesday, the third day after the Double Ninth Festival and Zhang Yanhang’s fourth day in the Ashen World, 4:01 a.m., Raccoon City, Dulda Apartment, Unit 301, Old Wooden Bed (Crimson Iron).

Since he wasn’t very tired, Zhang Yanhang only lightly slept before waking up. Upon opening his eyes, he immediately checked the time on his watch.

If he were in the Main World, his first step after waking up would definitely be to check the time on his phone, but since there were no phones in the Ashen World, he had gradually gotten into the habit of using his watch to tell time. After all, not knowing the time upon waking always felt like something was missing.

"Only 4 a.m.? Then by my calculations, I only slept for about five and a half hours which is really short. Under normal circumstances, I usually sleep for at least eight hours. Those blessings on my physical recovery speed bonus really do have an effect."

Although it wasn’t quite as high as the ten-to-four work-to-rest ratio he had previously estimated, it was mainly because this hunt wasn’t regular, so he consumed more physical strength. Under normal hunting circumstances, he estimated that resting for four hours would indeed suffice.

"If it’s 4 a.m., then the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine in Raccoon City probably hasn’t refreshed yet. In that case, I’ll go clear out Raccoon City first. After I’m done with Raccoon City, I’ll clear out the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine.

However, based on past experience, it shouldn’t take me an hour to clear out Raccoon City, so I estimate that by the time I’m done with Raccoon City, the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine still won’t be refreshed."

But it’s not a big issue because Zhang Yanhang wasn’t really in such a hurry to clear out the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine in Raccoon City. It wouldn’t make much of a difference to wait a bit longer, and he could find some time to clear it out when he went to clear the Goblin Plain.
