Zhang Yanhang had been working continuously for nearly twelve hours, so the first thing he did after returning to Unit 301, exhausted both mentally and physically, was to lie down on the rickety wooden bed and stretch lazily, "I’m so tired; this level of exhaustion is somewhat beyond my expectations."
"I originally thought I could hunt monsters around the clock for dozens of hours straight like it said in the options, but now, after just 12 hours of continuous battle, I’m already feeling a bit overwhelmed. Indeed, without the boost from the options, relying purely on my own efforts is still not enough to achieve that level."
Zhang Yanhang felt that perhaps only after being promoted to Second Tier could he attempt this 007 work system, but before that, he feared he could only manage a more common 996 working system, which was actually not bad, considering it was all the fortune accumulated from his previous life.
"Well, the next thing to do is to sort out the treasure boxes, I’ve accumulated several hundred of them again this time. It should definitely be possible to raise the Technique Immunity Skill to LV.10," Zhang Yanhang figured that the reason for his excessive consumption of physical strength was related to the improvement of his work efficiency.
During the near twelve hours just passed, Zhang Yanhang had cleared an area of fifteen square kilometers, whereas the last time he carried out the Outer Zone clearing plan, he only cleared eight square kilometers in eight hours.
Thus, comparing the two, he only spent three more hours this time but cleaned an additional seven square kilometers, which was a significant increase in efficiency. Accordingly, Zhang Yanhang’s consumption of physical strength also increased.
Because he had consecutively cleared the Third Stage and the Fourth Stage and thereby completed the Outer Zone clearing plan, the number of monsters Zhang Yanhang took down this time was unprecedented, with nearly two thousand two hundred Ordinary Zombies alone.
However, the number of Police Zombies he eliminated this time was relatively small, only a total of one hundred and fifty. He wondered if it was because the Police Zombies in Raccoon City were almost wiped out by him.
Beyond Ordinary Zombies and Police Zombies, Zhang Yanhang also took down four hundred Zombie Dogs and over a hundred Lickers, and finally, there were two Beta-type Hunters.
"If I go look at the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box by the garden fountain now, its completion percentage must have jumped up significantly. After all, two-thirds of Raccoon City has been cleared. Surely I can get above 50% or even 60% completion, right?"
The reason Zhang Yanhang said he needed to go to the garden fountain was because he had found that the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box could not be moved as easily and randomly as the slot machine and also couldn’t be packed into the Waist Bag; it seemed to be forcibly fixed in place.
Therefore, if Zhang Yanhang wanted to settle the evaluation, he must go to that garden fountain, which was somewhat troublesome. But in fact, that was not too bad because the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box could only be used once and didn’t require cleaning every day like a slot machine, so even if fixed in place, it was fine.
"Having taken down nearly three thousand monsters this time, I estimate the soul point income alone from kills must be quite a sum," Zhang Yanhang said as he checked the balance of Soul points.
[Soul points: 4650 (+4350)]
"4350 soul points? Are there really that many?"
Since the number of soul points gained from kills and treasure box rewards usually correspond directly, Zhang Yanhang was very much looking forward to how many soul points he could get from the boxes this time. Perhaps there was a chance to open up to twenty thousand soul points. Google seaʀᴄh n0velfire.net
When that time comes, after having upgraded Technique Immunity, Gun Master, and Fighting Master, he might still have leftover soul points to raise the level of his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill.
Having checked his soul point balance, Zhang Yanhang began to tally the treasure boxes he had collected this time. He dumped them all at once onto the dilapidated wooden bed, but the carrying capacity of the single bed clearly could not compare with the double bed at home. Moreover, the number of treasure boxes this time was much greater than before.
So this time, the treasure boxes piled up into a small mountain on the old wooden bed, measured in meters, even leaving little space for Zhang Yanhang to sit on the bed.
After meticulous counting, Zhang Yanhang found that he had obtained a total of 378 treasure boxes this time, of which 290 were from Ordinary Zombies. Next were the Zombie Dog treasure boxes, accounting for 49, followed by Police Zombie boxes, only 19. Then came the Licker boxes, at just 16.
Last were the Beta-type Hunter boxes, as even counting the one from the slot machine, Zhang Yanhang had only taken down three Beta-type Hunters in total, which resulted in just one Drop Treasure Box.
"That’s 150 more treasure boxes than last time; if I keep progressing at this rate, might there be a time in the future when I need to Open a thousand treasure boxes at once?"
If such a time really comes, Zhang Yanhang would certainly welcome it, although the chances are slim. Unless he managed to take down nearly ten thousand monsters at once, it would be difficult to accumulate so many treasure boxes.
"Now that the treasure boxes have been accounted for, next is to start opening them, a whole 378 boxes, which I guess will take a while."
While Zhang Yanhang had Time Pause when opening treasure boxes, even just reaching for them and collecting the items that came out took a considerable amount of time. This process, no matter how quickly done, was bound to waste at least a few seconds.
When there were fewer boxes, this problem wasn’t so apparent. But now, as the number of boxes gradually increased, Zhang Yanhang felt that this time around, he might even need to spend around half an hour just on opening boxes.
"This time, let’s start with a Beta-type Hunter’s box, then after that is done, I’ll open the others.
This is the second Beta-type Hunter box I’ve obtained. Perhaps it could reveal some new things I haven’t encountered before, like Blue Quality materials, although the chances are low. But if high-quality materials appear, I might be able to use Alchemy to craft some new Equipment for myself."
Even though Zhang Yanhang didn’t much need equipment right now, obtaining Blue Quality Equipment would still make him very happy.
These Blue Equipment crafting could replace some White quality gear like bulletproof vests, since Blue Quality Equipment may be inconsistent in other aspects, but in terms of defensive power, they are certainly stronger than White Quality Equipment.
