"Fine, thinking too much is tiring, let’s just continue opening treasure boxes," Zhang Yanhang decided to open the treasure boxes first, and then promote to Second Tier later so he could immediately use the soul points from the boxes to enhance his Profession Level.
Speaking of soul points, Zhang Yanhang really felt that he had miscalculated. He had thought that Ashen Treasure Boxes, as a type of treasure box, would certainly contain soul points, and a large amount at that, since every box he had opened before always had at least one option related to soul points.
But this time, he was wrong. There was no option for soul points in the Ashen Treasure Boxes. Zhang Yanhang guessed that the soul point options might have been replaced by something of higher level—The Ash Source—, which was why they didn’t appear.
Otherwise, Zhang Yanhang thought that an option for soul points in an Ashen Treasure Box should be worth tens of thousands at least; it definitely couldn’t be worth less than a Lord Monster Tracker, and it wasn’t impossible for one option to yield a six-figure number of soul points.
Zhang Yanhang put the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist back into his waist bag and then dumped out a bunch of treasure boxes from it, immediately counting the number of boxes.
This time, Zhang Yanhang had obtained a total of 87 boxes, with the majority still coming from Ordinary Zombies, who dropped 64 boxes. Following them were Zombie Dogs, with 16 boxes, and then Lickers, with only five boxes.
Lastly were Police Zombies. Despite only killing ten, he surprisingly got two boxes. Zhang Yanhang had started to miss Police Zombies because the items in their boxes, such as waist bags and standard Raccoon City police equipment, were very useful, especially large equipment like anti-riot shields.
Aside from the more basic monsters like Ordinary Zombies and Zombie Dogs, others such as Beta-type Hunters, Gamma Type Hunters, and Prototype Tyrants didn’t drop any treasure boxes due to their low kill numbers.
After counting all the boxes, Zhang Yanhang picked out a regular white treasure box.

"Yes, open it." As Zhang Yanhang made his selection, time, which had just resumed flowing not long ago, once again came to a halt.

After opening the last 87 treasure boxes of Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang let out a quiet sigh. It would be difficult for him to obtain so many Raccoon City treasure boxes in one go again, since he had truly wiped out all the monsters in Raccoon City. Now, all he could do was wait for the natural respawn of monsters.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to count the various items he got from the boxes. First and foremost, of course, was Slow Corrosion. This time, he had opened a total of 85 E-tier Slow Corrosion Talents.
Zhang Yanhang had already accumulated 683 Slow Corrosion Talents before, and adding the two together finally exceeded the requirement to upgrade to S-tier Talent "Chunling Endless," which needed 729 Slow Corrosion Talents. He now had 768 Slow Corrosion Talents in hand, and he would still have 39 left over after the upgrade for next time.
However, Zhang Yanhang did not want to upgrade Chunling Endless Talent immediately. He planned to wait until after promoting to Second Tier before upgrading.
Zhang Yanhang began to continue inventorying the other items obtained from the treasure box. In addition to the most important Slow Corrosion, Zhang Yanhang also found five Yellow Medicine Grass, which added to the three he previously had, gave him a total of eight Yellow Medicine Grass in his possession.
Zhang Yanhang took out the three Yellow Medicine Grass he had obtained earlier from his Waist Bag and then, in proportion, grabbed eight Red Medicine Herbs to place alongside the Yellow Medicine Grass.
He immediately activated his Alchemy Skill, and the Alchemy Array completely enveloped both the Yellow Medicine Grass and the Red Medicine Herb. Under the drive of the Alchemy Array, the two types of Medicinal Herbs were quickly crushed and combined together in pairs.
After slightly wasting some time, Zhang Yanhang now had eight Red and Yellow Pills before him. Without any hesitation, as soon as the Red and Yellow Pills were concocted, he skillfully popped all eight into his mouth and began to chew them vigorously.
Accompanied by a faint warm current, the Red and Yellow Pills took effect, and Zhang Yanhang began to check his Life Value Limit.
[Shield Value: 1274/1274 (Life Value Limit × 150%, Recovery Speed: 20% per second.)]
[Life Value: 849/849 (Constitution × 15, current body has formally digitalized, Life Value Recovery Speed, 5 points per hour.)]
[Energy Value: 250/250 (Intelligence × 10, current body has formally digitalized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 15 points per hour.)]
"Another increase of 48 points to Life Value Limit and 72 points to Shield Value Limit, that’s great. But if I want to keep getting Yellow Medicine Grass in the future, I’ll have to wait for the Monsters in Raccoon City to respawn."
Zhang Yanhang felt that going into the Ashen World to clear Monsters right away each time wasn’t cost-effective because no matter the density of the Monsters, the area of Raccoon City remained the same. Thus, whether the density was higher or lower, the time it took him to clear them was roughly the same.
Therefore, instead of clearing them each time, it was better to wait a few more days and then clear them all at once, which could effectively reduce his working time and allow him more time to explore new areas.
In addition to the Yellow Medicine Grass, this time Zhang Yanhang also obtained a large number of Green Medicine Grass and Red Medicine Herb, and the deficit created by the Green Medicine Grass he had consumed earlier to restore Physical Strength was instantly replenished.
Apart from these things, Zhang Yanhang also found quite a few Emergency Sprays, standard Raccoon City police equipment, and two Waist Bags.
After quickly taking stock of the items from the treasure box, Zhang Yanhang checked his Soul Points balance.
[Name: Zhang Yanhang (First Tier)]
[Profession: Heavenly Destiny Master]
[Soul Points: 7144 (+5470)]
"7144 Soul Points, not bad. Next, I’ll go straight to the promotion to Second Tier, hoping that the Professional Skills provided by Heavenly Destiny Master after promoting to Second Tier will maintain the same strength as the First Tier, and of course, if they turn out to be stronger than the First Tier Skills, that would be acceptable too."
Zhang Yanhang prayed as he clicked to upgrade with mixed emotions.

"Yes, raise the Profession Level to LV.11," Zhang Yanhang took a deep breath and then quietly welcomed the Rank Promotion.
