After briefly observing the achievement qualities, Zhang Yanhang began to examine the specific effects of the achievements. Naturally, he started with the attribute list of the achievement with the lowest quality, the Golden Quality Achievement.
[Ultimate Biological Weapon]
[Acquisition Conditions: Kill 'T-103 Type Super Tyrant·Awakened Form' 15000/15000, Kill 'T-0400TP Type Death God Tyrant·Frenzy Form' 5000/5000, Kill 'T-011 Type Talos Tyrant·War Form' 2500/2500.]
[Content Description: What exactly is the Ultimate Biological Weapon? On this point, Dr. Krees was initially somewhat confused. He thought that the Tracker transformed from the T-103 Type Tyrant alone was already strong enough, but he gradually realized later that the Tracker was actually not strong enough.
Dr. Krees modified the T-103 Type Tyrant as the basic body into the T-103 Type Super Tyrant, but he felt that this was still not strong enough. By chance, he started to think that perhaps the fusion of machinery and flesh could create the most powerful Ultimate Biological Weapon. The T-011 Type Talos Tyrant is an excellent product of this concept.]
[Achievement Reward: Energy Value Recovery Speed +60%.]
"This time, this brief description must have been written as a product introduction by the Umbrella company after Dr. Krees achieved fame."
As someone who had seen the real records, Zhang Yanhang naturally knew what Dr. Krees was actually like during that period. Dr. Krees wasn't aiming to create a stronger Biological Weapon, he was clearly being exploited by the director and PUA'd by Kristen.
Of course, Zhang Yanhang believed that Kristen herself surely didn't have this intention, as she hadn't even spoken a few words to Dr. Krees. So, it was all Dr. Krees PUA-ing himself in a void. One could only say that a sycophantic person is truly frightening.
Fortunately, this sycophantic nature disappeared after a few years due to missing brain tissue. Subsequently, Dr. Krees, whose brain was disabled, gradually forgot about Kristen. As for self-PUA, it naturally vanished like smoke. It's hard to say whether this was a good or bad thing.
However, judging by how Kristen ultimately accompanied a little assistant to visit the sick, she actually must have had some basic feelings for Dr. Krees. After all, Kristen's brain wasn't disabled, and her emotional intelligence was relatively normal, so she could naturally recognize Dr. Krees' kindness to her.
Moreover, judging from the board's behavior, Zhang Yanhang guessed that the reason Dr. Krees was able to join the board might have been due to help from Kristen's mother, or it could have been Kristen's request to her mother.
Therefore, if Dr. Krees' memory and emotional intelligence hadn't deteriorated as severely, he might have had a relationship with Kristen long ago, and perhaps without needing to invent a nuclear fusion reactor, he could instantly inherit his mother-in-law's shares and reach the peak of life.
"This time, the achievement reward is actually an Energy Value Recovery Speed bonus, huh? Giving quite a lot, directly providing a 60% Energy Value Recovery Speed bonus, which should accelerate my physique growth speed significantly."
Zhang Yanhang felt that at his current physique growth rate, he might completely transform into the Giant Clan in just a few days. But for him, the larger his physique, the stronger his power. Plus, with the Transformation Skill anyways, it's surely a good thing.
In summary, during the rising phase, any growth is a major benefit, and that's the end of it.
After checking the Golden Quality Achievement, Zhang Yanhang immediately clicked on the attribute list of the Dark Gold Quality Achievement to start reviewing.
[Magnetic Energy Biological Weapon]
[Acquisition Conditions: Kill 'Z-39 Type Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank [Air and Land Use]' 300/300, Kill 'D-52 Type Omida Electromagnetic Railgun [Space Specialization]' 30/30.]
[Content Description: Although the T-011 Type Talos Tyrant and related derivative forms, called the Ultimate Biological Weapon, has already been developed, Dr. Krees still hasn't stopped his steps towards further exploration. Dr. Krees started to think that perhaps machinery could completely take the lead in the proportion between machinery and flesh.
After deciding to implement this concept, Dr. Krees first developed the Z-39 Type Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank for experimentation, but quickly found that instead of solely stacking machinery, perhaps more attention should be given to the fusion between machinery and biology.
Soon, the synthesis masterpiece of this concept, the 'D-52 Type Omida Electromagnetic Railgun,' showed people Dr. Krees' unparalleled research and development capabilities and advanced thinking ability.]
[Achievement Reward: Attack Speed +40%.]
"Sure enough, the more I look, the more wrong it feels..."
Although Zhang Yanhang couldn't find the real records of Dr. Krees' development of the D-52 Type Omida Electromagnetic Railgun, he concluded that the specific process and reason were definitely not as high-minded as described in the brief.
After all, he clearly remembered that Dr. Krees was at least still in a sycophantic mode up until researching the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank. Oh, no, at that time, he was just blinded by love and not in the physical sense of being 'mindless.'
So, at that time Dr. Krees still with a brain, or rather Dr. Krees with intact emotional intelligence, surely realized Kristen was a bit disappointed with the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank he first developed, which prompted him to strive rapidly to develop the Omida Electromagnetic Railgun as an excellent product.
Facts proved that the Omida Electromagnetic Railgun was really the most outstanding 'biological weapon' created in Dr. Krees' career. Of course, according to the achievement's name, perhaps the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank and Omida Electromagnetic Railgun should be called Magnetic Energy Biological Weapons, indicating they gradually started to focus on energy.
Subsequently, most likely because the number of brains consumed had exceeded a certain threshold, his memory and emotional intelligence began to significantly deteriorate.
Then Krees forgot his beloved Kristen and gradually gave up on the manufacturing of biological weapons, turning instead to the Energy Department to work on the development and optimization of nuclear reactors, eventually rising quickly through the ranks thanks to this achievement, until he could no longer ascend after reaching headquarters and was recommended by Kristen's mother to enter the board of directors.
The impact of the Ancestor Virus variant on Krees is hard for Zhang Yanhang to determine whether it's good or bad, as without the Ancestor Virus, Krees would probably be toiling away for his entire life, being crazily exploited by other senior researchers, and eventually die in some unknown virus leakage, not even meriting a mention on the casualty list.
However, with the Ancestor Virus, Krees enjoyed a treatment that he could have never experienced before, standing at the pinnacle of power within the Umbrella Group, basking in the adulation and worship of others, looking down on the lowly research dogs, exploiting and extracting as he pleased, even gaining admiration from a little assistant and affection from Kristen.
Though all this lasted only a short ten years, deciding between enjoying this wonderful treatment during the most vigorous ten years of one's life versus a lifetime of toil as a research beast but living a bit longer might indeed be a rather difficult choice.
Of course, if Zhang Yanhang were still an ordinary person, he might prefer a shorter but more wonderful life, as he believes living is not merely for the sake of living, but to better enjoy life; for instance, a vegetative existence is still technically living, but does it still hold meaning?
"The reward for the Dark Gold Quality Achievement this time is a 40% Attack Speed bonus, not bad."
Although Zhang Yanhang achieved a massive Attack Speed bonus in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field with the Attack Speed Coin, his demand for Attack Speed remains insatiable, the more the better, since it's well known that in the kinetic energy formula (E=1/2mv²), speed is the most important factor as it is squared, whereas mass is merely a simple multiplicative factor; hence, increasing Attack Speed is actually more formidable and effective than merely increasing Strength.
After all, the renowned Light Particle Strike was born based on this principle—any small mass object reaching the speed of light can easily shatter the sun, and even a needle or a grain of sand could shatter a planet like Earth.
However, achieving light speed would require an infinite amount of energy, making this purest form of physical kinetic energy attack extremely advanced and difficult to realize.
Zhang Yanhang thought that in the future he might challenge himself to reach light speed with his physical body, but as of now, it indeed remains quite challenging or rather very challenging for him to achieve such a target.
Currently, Zhang Yanhang's Movement Speed is only a fraction of Mach, whereas light speed is 300,000 kilometers per second, or 880,000 Mach—nearly 18,000 times his current speed, which is far from being a feasible goal for the present Zhang Yanhang.
Currently, he's still a long way from the Fourth Cosmic Speed of 120 kilometers per second, let alone speed of light; it is indeed a bit unrealistic.
However unrealistic it may seem, considering the immense gap between each Rank in the Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang reckons he might eventually reach that Realm; it's just that he doesn't know exactly when, and it'll probably be many Ranks before he can truly reach that stage.
After reviewing both the Golden Quality Achievement and the Dark Gold Quality Achievement, Zhang Yanhang immediately began to examine the highest Quality Achievement—Orange Quality Achievement, which was the first time he obtained an Orange Quality Achievement, making him quite concerned.
[Nuclear Biological Weapon]
[Acquisition Conditions: Kill 'Ancestor Virus Infected [Divine Power Mutation]' 25/25, kill 'Ancestor Virus Aggregation [God of Flesh and Corruption]' 1/1.]
[Description: Today is the 25th day of the mutant Ancestor Virus outbreak. Although we confirmed the type of virus on the first day of the leak and immediately performed high-temperature disinfection work with a hydrogen bomb on the infected area, the infection host survived.
The last reports from the remaining personnel confirmed that the infection host of this virus leakage seemed to possess extreme resistance to high temperatures and nuclear radiation, and could even accelerate its growth by absorbing nuclear energy.
Currently, the infection host of the mutant Ancestor Virus is growing rapidly at every moment and is about to breach the last line of defense; we may have already lost the ability to suppress the leakage and spread of this virus.] ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
[Achievement Reward: Charm +10.]
"Well, what can I say, although it was already speculated, it turns out the world of Resident Evil was indeed destroyed by the Ancestor Virus."
In the last line of the description, Zhang Yanhang clearly saw that the Umbrella company assessed that they could no longer contain the virus's leakage and spread. Since even the Umbrella company with its countless black technologies couldn't suppress the virus's leakage, it must have indeed leaked and spread throughout the globe.
As for the consequences after the leakage and spread, one could only refer to the end result in the movie version of Resident Evil to guess, which is probably the outcome here as well, but with an amplified effect—it's safe to say that there probably aren't many humans left in the entire world.
"But speaking of which, is Krees Godzilla? How can he absorb nuclear energy to grow?"
Zhang Yanhang originally thought that Krees had most likely been eliminated by other variants in the subsequent virus competition, but now he discovers that Krees is actually doing quite well and even has the ability to absorb nuclear energy, no wonder the Ancestor Virus Infected in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field all possessed nuclear energy too; it seems like they mostly inherited it from Krees.
Krees even underwent Ultimate Evolution in terms of nuclear energy in the late stage, ultimately developing into the mode of Ancestor Virus Aggregation.
Initially, Zhang Yanhang thought Krees's relationship with the Ancestor Virus Aggregation wouldn't be significant, but now he suspects that Ancestor Virus Aggregation might be Krees's direct descendant or a split-off entity, since from the current situation, it appears that Krees indeed prevailed in the war against humans, suppressing all other viruses as well, resulting in the dominance of the mutant Ancestor Virus, invading the entire world.
Judging from the performance of various tyrants and the Omida Electromagnetic Railgun and other magnetic energy biological weapons, aside from nuclear energy, Krees probably also gained the ability to control other viral biological entities, either through parasites or other special abilities, since if the Ancestor Virus Aggregation could become a god, maybe Krees's body had long become a god too, and mastering some powerful special abilities would certainly be easy for him.
But considering how the Umbrella company didn't hesitate to launch nuclear missiles, even though Zhang Yanhang isn't worried if Krees is still alive, he now starts to worry whether the little assistant and Kristen were affected by the hydrogen bomb.
