"My Chunling Endless Talent hasn’t upgraded yet, so, if it were to upgrade, based on the previous upgrade pattern, at the very least I could gain another point in Constitution Attribute. By then, my Constitution Attribute would be on par with Strength and Agility.
Therefore, if I were to use these two free attribute points to strengthen my Intelligence now, I could raise my Intelligence Attribute to a level even with the other three main attributes."
But after careful consideration, Zhang Yanhang abandoned this idea because, compared to raising his Intelligence Attribute, he was more inclined to add the two extra free attribute points entirely to his Constitution Attribute.
He had just increased his energy value limit by 150 points due to his main attribute bonus, so now it would not be a big deal to slightly increase his Intelligence by two less points, but if he were to boost his Constitution Attribute, he could further extend his endurance time.
After being promoted to Second Tier, the issue Zhang Yanhang most wanted to resolve was this endurance problem because only by extending his endurance time could he slay as many monsters as possible in a limited timeframe.
And slaying more monsters would allow him to accelerate the acquisition of soul points and use them to enhance his strength efficiently. Therefore, when this causal chain was considered, endurance time was indeed vital to him.
After thorough contemplation, Zhang Yanhang made his final decision, "So, I choose Option Three, Constitution +1."
After triggering options fifty-four times in succession and fully implementing his attribute point allocation strategy, Zhang Yanhang reopened the attribute list to have a look.
[Constitution: 44 (+3)]
[Intelligence: 41 (+3)]
"Excellent, after all main attributes increased by more than thirteen points, my attribute values have reached a relatively high level among the Second Tier right after leveling up," Zhang Yanhang even felt that it wouldn’t take long for him to reach the peak status in the Second Tier just like during the First Tier Period.
"But this still hasn’t reached my limit." After checking the attribute list, Zhang Yanhang took out a white metal syringe from his waist bag. It was a Dark Purple Quality item he had previously obtained from the Purple Treasure Box of a Lord Monster Tracker - "T-virus Serum (Essence Extraction)".
Without any hesitation, Zhang Yanhang plunged the syringe’s needle into his arm and quickly injected a large tube of dark green T-virus serum. The once not so noticeable veins instantly turned dark green, and this dark green color rapidly spread through his body along with the circulation of his blood.
After the dark green T-virus serum rapidly flowed through his body, Zhang Yanhang’s appearance resembled that of a green-veined zombie. However, luckily, this state only lasted a second or two before ending—if it were to persist as a side effect, it would have been truly ugly.
Feeling that the "T-virus Serum (Essence Extraction)" should have taken effect, Zhang Yanhang reopened the attribute list for a glance.
[Constitution: 45 (+3)]
[Intelligence: 42 (+3)]
"Really nice, after using the ’T-virus Serum (Essence Extraction)’, all four of my main attributes have increased by another point, especially the highest, Constitution, which has now reached 45 points, just five points away from the Second Tier Limit of 50."
Zhang Yanhang was quite satisfied with the ’T-virus Serum (Essence Extraction)’, but unfortunately, the Lucky Slot Machine didn’t refresh. If it did, he might have been able to inject another one before his attributes reached the Second Tier Limit.
"But this still hasn’t reached my limit." Although he had used all his free attribute points and items, Zhang Yanhang had previously saved one Blue Achievement and one Purple Achievement at the Achievement Vending Machine in Raccoon City, which he hasn’t redeemed yet. If he were to redeem them, he could immediately gain another three attribute points.
However, unfortunately, the task of redeeming those two achievements currently can’t be completed and can only be done when the Transmission Channel opens again after four days to go to Raccoon City. But fortunately, there is also an Achievement Vending Machine within the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, where Zhang Yanhang feels he could also obtain some achievements to increase his attribute values.
"Now that the attribute points have been raised, what should I take down next?" Zhang Yanhang thought for a moment; he still had more than a thousand soul points left. Although not much was left, perhaps they could be used to upgrade a Skill Level. Moreover, he also wanted to see if the upgrade conditions for the First Tier Professional skills had been unlocked.
"Choose! Skill Level Enhancement!" Although he had just acquired Second Tier skills, First Tier skills such as Technique Immunity were still very important to Zhang Yanhang.

(PS: Suddenly realized that I now seem to have a bit too many skills; some will be omitted in the future...)
"51,200 soul points? Is it that terrifying? And besides needing soul points, it requires Ash Source as well..."
After a quick calculation, Zhang Yanhang realized he had five skills that needed Ash Source to upgrade, but he only had two Ash Sources left. So, if he wanted to upgrade all skills, based on the assumption that one Ashen Treasure Box yielded three Ash Sources, he would need at least two more Ashen Treasure Boxes to have enough.
After all, aside from upgrading skills, his Rank Promotion also required Ash Sources—the promotion to Second Tier only needed one Ash Source, but the demand would definitely increase by the time he promoted to Third Tier.
