After finishing his equipment inventory, Zhang Yanhang began checking the artifacts he obtained this time.
First there were 285 Green Medicine Grass and 261 Red Medicine Herb, which had been opened from the Ordinary Zombie’s treasure boxes. After opening nearly a thousand treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang noticed a strange issue. Although the score for Red Medicine Herb was lower than that of the Green Medicine Grass, the rarity of the Red Medicine Herb was slightly higher. He always seemed to get fewer Red Medicine Herbs compared to the Green Medicine Grass.
"Wait, could it be because the Red Medicine Herb has a lower score, so its priority in Multiple Choice is also lower, causing this?" Zhang Yanhang thought carefully, realizing that the possibility was quite high. Since having Multiple Choice, he had always been able to get the best items from the boxes, implying that Multiple Choice probably filtered out other low-quality, useless items.
"So it’s my own doing, then no worries..." Regarding such ’being a king of fortune turned out to be me’ situations, Zhang Yanhang had gotten used to them a long time ago. He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but ever since he awakened the Multiple Choice Talent, even when he didn’t make selections, his luck seemed to be much stronger than before.
For instance, he often found money while walking, which was quite a difficult feat particularly within the Empire that had long since adopted mobile payments.
In elementary and junior high school, Zhang Yanhang occasionally found cash, but never in high school, as mobile payments by then were nearly universally adopted, with only the elderly still using cash.
However, after awakening Multiple Choice, stumbling upon cash became frequent again. Hence, it could be inferred that Multiple Choice Talent also enhanced Zhang Yanhang’s Luck Value to some extent, though he couldn’t see exactly how high his Luck Value was, because Luck Attribute is a hidden attribute.
Besides the 285 Green Medicine Grass and 261 Red Medicine Herb, Zhang Yanhang also got 36 Emergency Sprays from Zombie Dog’s treasure boxes. He planned to find some spare time to fuse artifacts like Emergency Spray, because the spray’s healing amount was now somewhat low for him. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Zhang Yanhang’s Life Value Limit had reached 573 points, but the Emergency Spray could only restore 300 Life Value points and required thirty seconds, which wasn’t quite enough. But if he could fuse it to +1 or +2, that would definitely improve the situation.
"For the old me, Emergency Spray’s three hundred Life Value points would have caused a large overflow, but for the current me, it barely restores half of the Life Value, and all this happened within less than a week. Indeed, it’s that I’ve gotten stronger too quickly."
Although he had reached Peak First Tier in such a short time, Zhang Yanhang still felt he wasn’t trying hard enough. If he could push himself further, he might have already advanced to Second Tier by now.
"Moreover, this time I also got twenty-five Yellow Medicine Grass from Licker and Beta-type Hunter’s treasure boxes, increasing my Life Value Limit by over a hundred points. So, the Emergency Spray will be even less adequate."
After setting aside the twenty-five Red Medicine Herb and Yellow Medicine Grass, Zhang Yanhang stored the remaining Red Medicine Herbs, Green Medicine Grass, and Emergency Sprays all into his Waist Bag. He was now going to use Alchemy to make twenty-five Red and Yellow Pills. Last time, he made eighteen Red and Yellow Pills, but this time he planned to make twenty-five.
Zhang Yanhang’s hands lit up with the Alchemy Array. After a slight waste of time, he had twenty-five Red and Yellow Pills in front of him, which he promptly shoved into his mouth.
Though a single Red and Yellow Pill was quite small, about the size of a Maltesers, stacking twenty-five of them together still filled his mouth, but fortunately, after chewing a bit, the pills immediately dissolved into a warm current that merged into his body.
After consuming the twenty-five Red and Yellow Pills, Zhang Yanhang checked his Life Value Limit.
[Shield Value:1085/1085 (Life Value Limit×150%, Recovery Speed: 20% per second.)]
[Life Value: 723/723 (Constitution×15, body has been officially datatized, Life Value Recovery Speed, 5 points per hour.)]
[Energy Value: 250/250 (Intelligence×10, body has been officially datatized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 15 points per hour.)]
"Just now, the twenty-five Red and Yellow Pills altogether increased my Life Value Limit by 150 points, while my Shield Value went from the original 860 points to now 1085 points, an increase of 225 points for Shield Value Limit."
Zhang Yanhang had previously mentioned his Shield Value was nearly reaching a thousand points, but unexpectedly, just two days later, it had surpassed a thousand, growing extremely rapidly.
"But compared to the rapid increase in Life Value Limit, the Energy Value Limit is still stuck at two hundred and fifty points, a bit disappointing, and I always feel this number is a bit unlucky."
Despite seeing that his Life Value Limit was quickly approaching three times his Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang didn’t really have a good solution for now, and even if there was one, now wasn’t the time. This time, he only had twelve hours left — even clearing Raccoon City was daunting, let alone cleaning other regions.
"Suddenly I remembered, I still don’t know how many Soul Points were in the treasure boxes from this round." Zhang Yanhang spoke as he checked his Soul Points balance.
[Soul Points: 21360 (+16700)]
"Awesome, the Soul Points gained from kills were less than last time, but the Soul Points from the treasure boxes were actually thirty points more than last time."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that last time over three hundred treasure boxes only yielded 16670 Soul Points, but this time around two hundred treasure boxes gave out 16700 Soul Points, which undoubtedly owed much to the contributions of Prototype Tyrant and Beta-type Hunter.
One Prototype Tyrant’s treasure box could yield nine hundred Soul Points, equivalent to the boxes of thirty Ordinary Zombies or forty-five Police Zombies. Thus, a Second Order One Star strength Prototype Tyrant really was remarkable.
"But even though I got 16700 Soul Points from treasure boxes, I still only have 21360 Soul Points, still not enough to increase Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to LV.MAX."
Zhang Yanhang quietly calculated: upgradable to LV.7 needs one thousand six hundred Soul Points, to LV.8 needs three thousand two hundred Soul Points, to LV.9 needs six thousand four hundred Soul Points, and to LV.10 needs twelve thousand eight hundred Soul Points. Total, it all adds up to needing 24000 Soul Points, which leaves me still short by over two thousand Soul Points.
