Out of the remaining 749 Life Value points, 474 came from the dozens of Yellow Medicine Grass consumed by Zhang Yanhang earlier. Adding both, the total Life Value brought by the Constitution Attribute and the basic Life Value limit provided by the Yellow Medicine Grass was 1,374 points.
"So, if I calculate it this way, Indestructible Golden Body LV.4 has provided me with a Life Value limit increase of 275 points, a 20% enhancement is indeed quite powerful."
If it weren’t for the lack of Soul points, Zhang Yanhang really wanted to upgrade his Indestructible Golden Body to LV.MAX immediately. By then, his Life Value limit might even increase to over two thousand points.
"I remember the third form of Lord Monster Tracker only had a Life Value limit of 1,400 points, but now my Life Value is 249 points higher than that."
Apart from the increase in Life Value limit, Zhang Yanhang also noticed an improvement in Life Value Recovery Speed, which went straight from 5 points per hour to 14 points, an increase of 9 points.
However, these 9 points weren’t all from the Rank promotion rewards. According to Zhang Yanhang’s experience, the promotion should have only increased the recovery speed by 5 points, while the remaining 4 points came from the normal increase in the Constitution Attribute.
His current Constitution Attribute had reached 45 points, 20 points higher than during the First-Tier Period. Calculated at the ratio of one point of Life Value Recovery Speed for every five points of Constitution Attribute, it was exactly four points.
Compared to the Life Value limit, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned with the Shield Value limit, so he immediately checked his Shield Value.
[Shield Value: 2474/2474 (Life Value limit × 150%, recovery rate: 20% per second.)]
"The Shield Value limit has increased to 2474 points; originally, I only had a total of 1274 Shield points, but after the promotion, it increased directly by 1200 points."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that, in its fourth form, Lord Monster Tracker only had two thousand seven hundred Life Value points, but now his Shield Value limit was almost catching up with the Tracker’s Life Value limit.
After checking his Life and Shield Value limits, Zhang Yanhang then turned his attention to his Energy Value.
[Energy Value: 780/780 (Intelligence × 15 (+5), body now officially digitized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 39 points per hour (+24 points).]
"Compared to the four-digit Life and Shield Value limits, the Energy Value limit is still disappointingly low, only at 780 points, although it has increased by 530 points from the previous 250 points, but it’s still meager."
Besides the 150 points of Energy Value limit from the main attribute rewards, Zhang Yanhang also achieved an increase of 380 points in Energy Value limit by means of the most basic Attribute Value increase.
Mainly because Zhang Yanhang’s Intelligence Attribute increase after promotion was too much. Including the bonuses from both the White set and Green set, it was a whopping seventeen points, enough to increase the Energy Value limit by 170 points even during the First Tier Period, let alone now that he is in Second Tier.
After the Second Tier promotion, Zhang Yanhang’s Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient also increased by five points, going from ten points to fifteen points, effectively raising the Energy Value limit by fifty percent.
"Although the Energy Value Recovery Speed has risen from fifteen points per hour to thirty-nine, an increase of twenty-four points, the recovery speed has actually slowed down overall because of the increase in the Energy Value limit..."
Before, Zhang Yanhang could recover all his Energy Value in just over ten hours by natural recovery, but now it would take twenty hours to do the same. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✶fire.net
"I wonder if actively using Limitless Universe Skill to recover Energy Value can still achieve the multiplicative effects as before." But he plans to experiment with that later because his Energy Value is full right now, and even if he ran Limitless Universe Skill, he couldn’t observe any recovery speed.
"So, the question is, what should I do next?" Zhang Yanhang pondered a bit. Perhaps he could start by fusing the Waist Bags; he had obtained three new Waist Bags during his time in Raccoon City.
Zhang Yanhang took out a Waist Bag +3, a Waist Bag +2, and a Waist Bag +1 from his waist and immediately initiated the Alchemy process. With the operation of the Alchemy Array, the two standard Waist Bags gradually fused into a Waist Bag +1 and then continued to fuse with the other bags.
After all the fusions were complete, Zhang Yanhang had a new Waist Bag +4 in his hand. Adding to the previous Waist Bags, he now had a total of five Waist Bags +4 and one standard Waist Bag, totaling 162 slots.
"I remember that Multiple Choice seemed to become stronger after Rank promotion, but I don’t know exactly what got stronger." As he thought this, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened the talent effect of Multiple Choice to take a look.
[Quality: ??? (F-EX)]
[Ability One: Single Choice (please explore the content on your own)]
[Ability Two: Autonomous Choice—if there are no multiple-choice questions, create your own. (please explore the content on your own).]
[Ability Three: ??? (not yet unlocked)]
"No changes..." Zhang Yanhang originally thought that strengthening the talent of Multiple Choice might unlock the third ability. However, no unlocking occurred, and the descriptions of the other two abilities showed no changes either.
"Ah... Every time I get stronger, it’s always so vague. At least tell me which part got stronger. Otherwise, I can only try things out slowly, which would be a huge project."
Zhang Yanhang really wished that Multiple Choice could list all its effects like other common talents, but unfortunately, Multiple Choice doesn’t listen to him, and he can only explore it painstakingly.
Like the previous Autonomous Choice, he only figured out the patterns and usage through his own exploration.
"Wait, couldn’t the previous unlock of that LV.MAX Skill be the part that got stronger?" Zhang Yanhang felt it was indeed possible because Multiple Choice had always been very vague in giving answers in this regard. So, there was a possibility that it wasn’t the promotion to Second Tier that unlocked the further upgrade requirements, but rather Multiple Choice needed to get stronger with the promotion and then unlock the subsequent upgrade requirements accordingly.
To verify his guess, Zhang Yanhang started to try making that kind of choice to see what Multiple Choice would actually say.
After spending several minutes making various choices, Zhang Yanhang confirmed something; he might have really misunderstood before.
The reason Multiple Choice said unlocking Skill upgrades after advancing to Second Tier wasn’t just about the simple act of promotion; it referred to Multiple Choice getting stronger after a Rank promotion, which then enabled the opening of the subsequent upgrade requirements.
