"Power to Tie Chicken?" The moment Zhang Yanhang saw the name, he knew something, that his first expectation had probably fallen flat. He could only say that after upgrading to C grade, ’Power to Tie Chicken’ inherited the usual naming style of the series, which was to make it seem weak at first glance.
Whether it was the previous Ant Power or Ant Power, both gave a rather weak impression, and this Power to Tie Chicken did too.
This idiom is generally used in combination with two other words, that is ’having no Power to Tie Chicken.’
It often describes frail scholars from ancient times or the feeble, geeky men in modern society who can not even defeat a goose. It can be taken literally to mean not having the strength to even capture a chicken.
"So, now I finally ’have’ the Power to Tie Chicken, huh." Although the name was lame, Zhang Yanhang didn’t mind it too much, as long as the Talent Effect of Power to Tie Chicken was strong.
Speaking of the Talent Effect, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the changes from Ant Power to Power to Tie Chicken. Content originally comes from novel~fire~net
[Power to Tie Chicken]
[Ability One: Robust and Powerful —— Strength+2（+1）.]
[Ability Two: Double Strike —— There is a 2.4%（+1.2%） chance of triggering an extra attack effect of 50%（+25%） Attack Power when launching an attack.]
[Ability Three: Powerful —— Strength Effect+40%（+15%）.]
"Although my first expectation was not met, it seems that the second one has."
Zhang Yanhang found the enhancement of Double Strike more surprising than he had anticipated; it had doubled. The triggering chance increased from 1.2% to 2.4%, and the Attack Power coefficient also increased from 25% to 50%.
The original 25% Attack Power was too weak. Even if he struck with all his might, the extra attack he triggered might not cause much damage to the enemy, after all, breaking through the enemy’s defense was necessary to inflict damage. But now, the 50% would significantly increase the damage he could inflict on the enemy.
After reviewing the Talent Effect of Power to Tie Chicken, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t wait to count out twenty-seven red balls from the large pile of red balls beside him, and just like before, crushed them all.
[Detection of a C-grade Talent ’Power to Tie Chicken’ Subordinate Talent in your Talent list, do you want to merge the Talents?]
"Yes, merge." Just like the previous upgrades, Zhang Yanhang also had two expectations this time. His first expectation was that after upgrading, the name of Power to Tie Chicken would sound a bit better. If it still inherited the previous naming style, it would be somewhat unimpressive.
His second expectation was that after the upgrade, Power to Tie Chicken would maintain its current enhancement scale—yes, maintaining the current enhancement scale would be enough.
As for a larger scale of enhancement? That was a luxury. Based on previous experience with upgrading Chunling Endless, it was basically improbable to achieve.
[You have acquired B-grade Talent ’Power of Swallowing Sheep’.]
"Drive Tiger Swallow Wolf, ah, no, it should be Starving Tiger Swallowing Sheep. The name has changed so much this time, but it finally seems a bit domineering, worthy of a B-grade Talent; indeed not comparable to C-grade and D-grade."
Zhang Yanhang really hadn’t expected his first expectation to come true. He had always thought that this time, the Talent name was very likely to continue in the previous style. Yet unexpectedly, there really was a change.
"From the Power to Tie Chicken’s little chick to Power of Swallowing Sheep’s big tiger, there’s been such a huge change, it’s a bit hard to adjust to." Zhang Yanhang felt the only connection between a little chick and a big tiger was that both had yellow fur.
"Now that such a significant change has occurred in the name, won’t the Talent Effect change considerably as well?" As Zhang Yanhang thought this, he suddenly found that his previous luxury might have a slim chance of coming true; he immediately checked the Talent Effect of Power of Swallowing Sheep.
[Power of Swallowing Sheep]
[Ability One: Robust and Powerful —— Strength+3（+1）.]
[Ability Two: Double Strike —— There is a 3.6%（+1.2%） chance of triggering an extra attack effect with 75%（+25%） Attack Power when launching an attack.]
[Ability Three: Powerful —— Strength Effect+55%（+15%）.]
After checking the Talent Effect of Power of Swallowing Sheep, Zhang Yanhang was slightly disappointed but also relieved. His expectation had been fulfilled as Power of Swallowing Sheep well-maintained the previous enhancement scale. As for the luxury part, luxuries were just that, beyond reach, and thus called luxuries.
"After upgrading to B-grade, compared to D-grade Ant Power, Power of Swallowing Sheep gained two points of Strength and a 30% Strength Effect."
Zhang Yanhang had done relevant tests before. In the absence of any enhancement, his single-handed Strength was around six hundred kilograms. Now, with a 55% Strength Effect Bonus, Zhang Yanhang estimated his single-handed Strength could likely reach around one ton.
Previously when moving a car, he needed both hands to lift a minivan, but now he could totally do it with one hand. In this way, even if he encounters two cars competing for his driveway’s parking space in the future, he could lift both at once.
Don’t ask why he has two parking spaces; let’s just say it’s because his parents have one each. After all, both his parents have cars; there has to be somewhere to park them.
"Moreover, besides the increase in Strength, the effect of Double Strike is also enhanced, with the triggering probability increased to 3.6%, which should be considered quite substantial; roughly equivalent to triggering an extra attack every thirty hits."
Furthermore, Zhang Yanhang noticed another improvement in the extra attack effect, which increased from 50% to 75%. With this, triggering an extra attack could add another strike only slightly weaker than his original to the enemy, which made it quite useful.
"Since every upgrade enhances the attack effect by 25%, does it mean the next upgrade will allow the extra attack to inherit 100% of the Attack Power? If that’s the case, then Double Strike will significantly boost my strength."
Zhang Yanhang was eagerly anticipating the changes brought about by upgrading Power of Swallowing Sheep to A-grade. Unfortunately, the remaining Ant Power was not enough to continue strengthening Power of Swallowing Sheep to the amount needed for A-grade.
