Zhang Yanhang had actually encountered a Beta-type Hunter before in another place, but at that time, this guy was standing with a Tyrant, and Zhang Yanhang quietly ignored it and walked away. But this time, there was no Tyrant by the Beta-type Hunter’s side and he hadn’t noticed Zhang Yanhang, so he just threw three grenades and killed it.
"Speaking of which, if this Beta-type Hunter is so strong, why are the soul points earnings only 4 points higher than a Licker’s?" Zhang Yanhang felt that with the strength of a Beta-type Hunter, it should at least be worth 12 soul points.
"Forget it, let’s go pick up the treasure boxes first." Zhang Yanhang had just detected two drop treasure boxes using his Perception, one from a Licker and the other from a Beta-type Hunter. This was his first time obtaining a treasure box from a First Tier Three Star Monster, and he felt that the treasure box from the Beta-type Hunter could bring him a different kind of surprise, just like the Licker’s had.
After entering the unfinished building, he could clearly see a huge hole blown into the ceiling on the first floor, and around the hole were scattered the bodies and shattered limbs of Lickers and Beta-type Hunters. The Lickers, slightly further from the grenade, were mostly intact, but the Beta-type Hunters weren’t so lucky; the three at the center of the explosion were blasted into a large puddle of charred flesh.
Zhang Yanhang sifted through this mess and finally found the drop treasure box belonging to a Beta-type Hunter in a part that resembled a lower jaw. He glanced at the color of the box, a bit disappointed, "It’s clearly a First Tier Three Star, but the quality of the treasure box hasn’t changed at all, it’s the same green as the Licker’s."
"I was actually hoping it might drop a blue-quality treasure box. Now it seems that to get a blue treasure box, I’ll probably have to get it from a stronger Tyrant."
Zhang Yanhang had previously glanced at the strength of a Tyrant, which also started at Second Order One Star. With his current First Tier strength, it would be slightly difficult to take on a Tyrant head-on unless he used a rocket launcher; otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the Tyrant as quickly as he had the Licker and Beta-type Hunter.
After picking up the Beta-type Hunter’s treasure box, Zhang Yanhang continued up the stairs to the second floor. Fortunately, the stairs had not suffered too much from the grenade explosion and did not have large cracks like the outer walls. Zhang Yanhang’s initial worst-case scenario had been if the stairs were damaged, he would have climbed the walls to move up, as the building’s quality was really poor.
After picking up a drop treasure box from the body of a Licker, blown into a sprawled position with its belly facing up, Zhang Yanhang followed the stairs up to the third floor. Upon entering, he saw the large box that he had been fixated on for seven and a half hours, but he felt oddly familiar with it, "Why does it look like a storage box from a game?"
The chest in front of Zhang Yanhang was quite unassuming in appearance, black with some wear-resistant iron sheeting around the edges. Although he was almost certain, the hopeful Zhang Yanhang still gave it a try; after opening the chest, he saw an additional hundred grids, each capable of holding one cubic meter.
"Is it really the storage box from the game?" Zhang Yanhang took another look at the storage box’s attribute list and discovered that its effect was similar to the Waist Bag; it couldn’t be used to hold life forms. Moreover, this storage box was not only grey quality but also immovable, and it was relatively bulky, at least half a cubic meter in size. Read full story at noⅴelfire.net
Disappointed with this outcome, Zhang Yanhang expressed his dissatisfaction; he initially thought the box might be some sort of special treasure box that could yield something valuable. However, it turned out to be just an ordinary storage box. Although it came with space attributes, not only was it bulky, but it was also not portable, making it inconvenient to use.
However, despite his disappointment, Zhang Yanhang still planned to take the storage box with him, after all, it was storage equipment. He would see if he could somehow use Alchemy later to make it portable out of Ashen World.
But addressing this issue would definitely require a lot of time for research, and Zhang Yanhang did not have time at the moment, as even after eight hours of cleaning, there was still a large area of the Outer Zone that remained uncleared, and he needed to hasten to clean the remaining part.
"So the question arises, since the Waist Bag could be put into another waist bag, could this storage box also possibly fit into a waist bag?" With a spirit of learning through practice, Zhang Yanhang immediately experimented, and the result was quite splendid; the storage box also fit smoothly into the Waist Bag.
"Who would have thought it was actually possible to put the storage box into the Waist Bag, these storage items can be directly interchanged with each other without any barriers, which is too convenient."
Zhang Yanhang did some quick math; his Waist Bag +4 provided 32 grids, plus the 12 grids provided by one Waist Bag +1 and one Waist Bag +2 he had previously fused, and adding the 100 grids from the storage box, he now had a total of 144 grids to use.
Even though he couldn’t take the storage box out of Ashen World, at least he could store whatever he wanted while in Ashen Century.
"But although on the surface the number of grids has increased, to use the storage box, it still must be taken out of the Waist Bag..." Zhang Yanhang sighed quietly, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, time suddenly froze, and a few familiar text options popped up in front of Zhang Yanhang.
[Do you want to continue hunting monsters in Ashen World?]
[Option One: Yes (Given the eight-day consecutive public holiday of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, with no girlfriend and no desire to travel and having completely nothing else to do, you choose to fight to the end with the zombies in Raccoon City of Ashen World. This time, you will successfully clear the entire ground level of Raccoon City.)]
[Option Two: No (The gateway from the Main World to Ashen World is about to close in half an hour. Although you are still very energetic, feeling only a bit tired, upon learning this news, you choose to give up hunting monsters in Ashen World, just like last time.)]
[Option Three: Go Home (After hunting zombies continuously for eight hours without a single break, you feel that with your current strength, you’re probably still not up to the task of the heroic 007 work regimen. Thus, you decide to be wise rather than valorous after hunting a few more monsters around, and you return to unit 301 of Dulda Apartment at top speed.)]
