Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "Are you sure there are no other precautions?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel•fire.net
What Zhang Yanhang had thought was that perhaps the group admin would remind him of a whole bunch of things to pay attention to after leveling up to Second Tier, but surprisingly, there was only one.
Curse Binding Vajra: "Indeed, there’s nothing else. If I have to say something, it’s to be careful, don’t go fighting monsters with a higher rank than yourself. If you can’t beat them, it’s easy to get smashed to bits by the monsters. It’s safer to consistently hunt monsters that match your own strength and earn soul points that way."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "Why do I feel like fighting monsters above my rank doesn’t seem too difficult?"
Curse Binding Vajra: "?"
Heavenly Destiny Master: "Just yesterday, I managed to advance to Second Tier because I took down a Second Tier Four Stars Lord Monster. It didn’t seem too hard. I was at full health the whole time, didn’t take any damage."
Curse Binding Vajra: "?"
Curse Binding Vajra: "Here it comes, another familiar Versailles statement."
Curse Binding Vajra: "Today’s dose of Versailles-speak? Get da☆ze!"
Watching the message Zhang Yanhang had sent over, Gu Mingyue couldn’t help but fall into deep thought, "Are newbies these days really so powerful? Peak First Tier and still able to wipe out a Second Tier Four Stars Lord Monster without losing any health, can a human really manage that?"
Speaking of battling above her rank, Gu Mingyue couldn’t help but think of her own newbie days when she, at First Tier, fought a Second Tier One-star Monster. Even though she managed to kill it by using a Spiritual Qi Burst, her own health bar was halved by the monster’s attacks. It seemed a bit more loss than gain.
After all, not everyone has an Energy Shield with a five-second recovery like Zhang Yanhang, nor access to a heap of Healing Items from treasure boxes to squander at will. So, reminding newbies not to fight above their tier was indeed very sensible advice.
Heavenly Destiny Master: "This counts as Versailles? I’m just an ordinary newbie Awakener who hasn’t even been Second Tier for a full day."
Curse Binding Vajra: "Hmph, I see through your tricks already. Are you going to say that although you’ve just advanced to Second Tier, you’ve actually already maxed out your level?"
Heavenly Destiny Master: "Not quite that, given I’ve just advanced to Second Tier, I haven’t accumulated that many soul points, but my attribute values are nearly maxed. All my main attributes are over forty, and soon I’ll be hitting the tier limit."
Curse Binding Vajra: "?"
Curse Binding Vajra: "Actually, when I mentioned maxing out the level, I was just joking..."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."
Heavenly Destiny Master: "So if I say that all my attribute values really are over forty, that’s also a joke, would you believe it?"
Curse Binding Vajra: "Like hell I’d believe that!"
Curse Binding Vajra: "Piss off!"
After reading Zhang Yanhang’s message filled with an intense dose of Versailles, Gu Mingyue got so frustrated she immediately turned off her phone.
On the other side, Zhang Yanhang, blissfully unaware, continued to message the group admin, wanting to ask her about other things, but after waiting another two five-minute periods, the admin still hadn’t replied, "Maybe the admin suddenly has something on? Well, the rest can wait until next time."
After waiting to no avail, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t be bothered to continue messaging the group admin. After all, the most important precaution had been asked, even though there was only one point, and it was the most common and universally applicable caution—be safe and don’t be reckless.
"So, the question is, what should I do next? I feel like there really isn’t anything left to deal with this time, right?" After giving it some thought, Zhang Yanhang felt like he truly had nothing else to resolve at the moment.
In the previous few days, he had spent his free time in the Main World busy studying Crimson Iron Ant Meat and Ant Acid Bullets, but now there was no need to do that anymore. The Crimson Iron Ant Meat was ruled out due to its extremely low efficiency and doubts about its effectiveness on Second Tier Awakened.
As for the Ant Acid Bullets, since he now had a brand-new 30mm caliber Six-barrel Revolver Cannon, it seemed more than sufficient for now, and there was no need to boost damage by modifying bullets anymore.
Well, he theoretically could still modify them, but Zhang Yanhang found it a hassle, and more importantly, the potency of the Crimson Iron Flying Ant’s ant acid wasn’t enough. He figured that using the ant acid from Second Tier Crimson Iron Ants would be necessary for a noticeable damage boost in the bullets.
The Ant Acid Bullets made from Crimson Iron Flying Ants did play a role when facing the Lord Monster Tracker, at least helping Zhang Yanhang easily get through the first phase, given that the concentrated ant acid corrodes metal quite rapidly, but it was somewhat less effective on flesh.
"Ant Acid Bullets and things like that still aren’t quite powerful enough, maybe I should consider other methods to enhance the bullet’s impact."
Although he had just switched to a new Six-barrel Revolver Cannon, Zhang Yanhang was already thinking about how to further increase the bullet’s power. After all, if he waited until the bullets were no longer effective before addressing this issue, it would be too late. It’s always necessary to plan ahead.
As for how to enhance bullet power, Zhang Yanhang already had some initial ideas, like forcibly Fusion bullets through Alchemy to increase their damage. But for now, there was no need to rush into this, especially since the current bullet power should be more than adequate in the short term.
"Having just completed the options related to Zhao Yalan and spent all my Energy Value, I’d better start restoring energy immediately." Zhang Yanhang began once again to practice the Limitless Universe Skill to recover Energy Value.
By the way, at the moment, the Ice Silk Cool Mattress was spread under Zhang Yanhang, continuously providing an enhancement effect for speeding up the recovery of Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, aside from lying down, when Zhang Yanhang was in class, that is, sitting on a chair, he could also enjoy the enhancement effect on energy recovery provided by the Ice Silk Cool Mattress.
The main reason was that, despite being called a cool mattress, it was more like a thin bedsheet. Unlike traditional cool mattresses, which couldn’t be easily stored, Zhang Yanhang could fold the Ice Silk Cool Mattress any way he wanted, like into a square cushion.
In this way, simply by laying the folded square cushion on the chair, Zhang Yanhang could enjoy the same benefits from the Ice Silk Cool Mattress while in class, although it certainly wasn’t as convenient as the Gathering Spirit Jade. But it was still decent enough.
