Ashen God

Chapter 694: Permanent Teleportation Channel


"So, the question arises, now that I've finished reviewing the skill effects of Death Wave·Original LV.6, what should I do next? Continue to wear more equipment related to my arms and skull?"

Zhang Yanhang thought for a moment and felt that he could first check the skill effects of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, which was a skill that could also be enhanced by an increase in Intelligence Attribute. Now, with the limit on rank lifted, the perception range must have increased significantly.

[Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original LV.6 (Passive/Active)]

[Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +30.0%]

[Active Effect: Detects the location of enemies within the perception range and predicts their next attack to some extent. Current perception range is 3000+50×67 (+17) [Intelligence] = 6350 meters (+850 meters). No cooldown, consumes a small amount of physical strength.]

[Additional Attribute: Skillful—You can now proficiently control Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, which allows you to freely adjust the coverage of your perception and fully grasp the outlines of the enemies within your perception range.]

[Additional Attribute: Mastery—Your control over Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil has become very proficient, the penetration power of your perception has increased, enabling you to perceive colors within your perception range by focusing your energy.]

[Additional Attribute: Specialization—After a long period of effort, your control over Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil is now expert-level; both the penetration power and anti-interference ability of your perception have further increased, making your ability to perceive surrounding objects more refined.]

"Compared to the previous Death Wave, the growth of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil is very objective because it relies on just one Intelligence Conversion Coefficient. At least it has increased the perception range much more than when I upgraded Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil from Original LV.5 to Original LV.6.

I remember when I upgraded Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil from Original LV.5 to Original LV.6, I gained an increase of five hundred meters in perception range, but this time it is eight hundred and fifty meters, three hundred and fifty meters more than last time, a direct seventy percent increase, which also increased my perception range upper limit from 5500 meters to 6350 meters."

Zhang Yanhang remembered that the last time he upgraded Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Original LV.6 and achieved a perception range of 5500 meters, he mentioned that if he wanted to further increase the perception range, he had to wait for promotion in rank.

Now it seems, his previous estimation was indeed quite accurate; his perception range was indeed stuck at 5500 meters without change until now, after rank promotion enabled by the increase in Intelligence Attribute Value, it grew from the original 5500 meters to 6380 meters.

"This recent increase of 850 meters in perception range upper limit, although it only accounts for about one-sixth of the range from a perceptive standpoint, has significantly increased the covered area, taking my perception range from the original 24 square kilometers to 32 square kilometers, a direct increase of one-third of the cover area."

Zhang Yanhang had to admit, advancement in rank was always the most effective way to boost his power.

"With a 32-square-kilometer range, I can now completely cover the entire Southern City District of Qin Island City. In the future, when I have nothing else to do, I can scan the entire Southern City District to see what people there are up to.

Especially the governmental department buildings, I might as well scan them more often when I have nothing better to do and see what Zhou Muxi is typically up to at work, and whether she's slacking off. As an exemplary representative of the public, I must keep a vigilant eye on her to supervise effectively."

Speaking of this matter concerning Zhou Muxi, Zhang Yanhang felt that he might as well send her a message now, asking if there were any permanent teleportation channels opening soon that he could strike.

After all, if there indeed were a permanent teleportation channel opening soon, then he could probably finish it quickly and then head directly to clear the monsters at the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaguna.

Of course, clearing monsters in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalaguli would just be a side task, his main goal was to hunt new monsters in the new area below the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu.

"But sending a message should indeed be done sooner rather than later."

While speaking, Zhang Yanhang took out his phone to message Zhou Muxi, but quickly realized that his phone seemed to have no signal, though there was barely one signal bar enough to make a call, but using the internet to send a message to Zhou Muxi through QQ was definitely impossible.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big issue and was easy to resolve; Zhang Yanhang casually chose an option allowing a stranger to subscribe him to a satellite data plan, enabling him to use the internet services normally.

This kind of satellite data might have some signal issues in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but definitely not an issue at all in the center of the Yellow Sea, it was just a bit more expensive compared to standard data, roughly one yuan for 1MB.

However, fortunately for Zhang Yanhang, his energy value was quite valuable at the moment, so this little energy directly led the stranger to subscribe him to an unlimited data package, which is the common package where the speed is maxed out under 30GB and throttled but still usable above that, though for just sending a message probably less than 1MB would even be used.

Heavenly Destiny Master:"Are you there?"

After all, these two Chinese characters plus one symbol roughly equate to five bytes (bit), and it takes 1024 bytes to make 1KB, and 1024KB to make 1MB; Zhang Yanhang really doesn't think it will use much data at all, even buying 1MB of data would probably be more than enough.

Of course, sending might not be a problem, but if the person on the other side sends any emoticons, then it could be slightly more difficult, thus 1MB can only be considered theoretically sufficient.

After sending a message to Zhou Muxi, Zhang Yanhang waited a bit, but it seemed that there was no reply from the other side. Considering that it was currently six in the morning, he thought that Zhou Muxi might be sleeping or doing something else, like practicing cultivation in a graveyard.

So, he didn't continue waiting. He just left it at that since Zhou Muxi would surely reply to him.

Speaking of sleeping, Third Tier Awakeners, after all, are not at the Immortal Land Realm; they still need to sleep, although very little.

Previously, when Zhang Yanhang was at the First Tier, he needed only six hours of sleep to meet his daily needs, but after advancing to the Second Tier, it was reduced by two hours to four hours of sleep.

Now, after advancing to the Third Tier, based on the information he had seen in the group chat, he should need two hours less again, only needing two hours of sleep.

Following this current trend, Zhang Yanhang estimated that when he advanced to the Fourth Tier, his sleep time would probably be further reduced by another two hours, reducing to zero hours, meaning he would not need any sleep at all—just a breath of the spirit-filled northwest wind would suffice for his daily needs.

"When you think about it, the Immortal Land isn't called a realm for no reason; it truly doesn't require sleep and can maintain itself like the immortals in the myths, living on air and dew... Oh, wait, just the air will do, no need even for dew."

In fact, even Zhang Yanhang, currently a Third Tier, should not need to drink water anymore, but the problem is that he's not a typical Third Tier, or rather, he's not someone who advanced through breaking through the Limitless Universe Skill's cultivation technique to the Third Tier, so he temporarily hasn't acquired the Water Resistance ability.

The Fasting ability he acquired when advancing to the Second Tier was actually a minor function that came with the cultivation technique, enabling the elimination of food dependencies for the body, while the function associated with advancing to the Third Tier is to eliminate the body's reliance on water—in short, step by step guiding Awakeners towards a non-human direction.

Of course, although theoretically the Water Resistance should be obtained after advancing the Limitless Universe Skill to the Third Tier, he had nonetheless advanced to the Third Tier and, compared to before, his craving for water was definitely greatly reduced. It's just not as complete as the Limitless Universe Skill's Water Resistance which can fully replace water with spiritual energy.

If before advancing to the Third Tier Zhang Yanhang needed to drink a bottle of water a day, now drinking a bottle a month wasn't too much of a problem, and once he acquired the Water Resistance, he could go his whole life without directly drinking water at all—a breath of northwest wind would be enough to replenish his 'water.'

And this was precisely one of the reasons why Zhang Yanhang always said that high-level Awakeners had already become reproductively isolated from ordinary people, both physically and energetically, after all, the gap between them was too vast, in every aspect.

"With both the Fasting and Water Resistance abilities, I shouldn't have to worry about food or water source issues in the Ashen World anymore. Just taking a sip of water before entering the transmission channel should settle a week's worth of needs without much issue."

To be honest, Zhang Yanhang was already a bit tired of drinking the stale bottled mineral water from Raccoon City; every time he drank that stuff, he felt like he was consuming large amounts of plastic particles.

Okay, it's not that bad. After all, the energy shield would automatically repel it, so we can only say the taste of the ancient bottled mineral water in Raccoon City was just not very good to begin with.

"Speaking of Raccoon City, compared to the Crimson Iron Series equipment provided by the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu that enhances the charm attribute value, the equipment in Raccoon City is indeed rather poor.

However, we can't say it's entirely poor, since after all they've managed to put together a ten-piece set. It definitely can still dominate other areas in terms of quantity, it's just the quality that's too low, and the fact that it can only drop from police zombies, which is indeed a bit monotonous."

Although the second-level one-star monster, Prototype Tyrant T-001 in Raccoon City could also yield purple quality coin fragments for synthesizing dark purple quality complete coins, defense coins and attack coins clearly had nothing to do with arms or skulls, and would just activate automatically if kept in a waist bag.

Besides defense coins and attack coins, the only equipment Raccoon City could provide him were the white ten-piece set and the waist bag, but the waist bag also had nothing to do with arms or skulls.

Moreover, there wasn't any limit on the quantity of waist bags you could have; so long as they could hang on the waist, any number of them was fine—the only limitation might be the waist size. But since waist bags could infinitely nest within each other, this so-called limitation was not really a limitation, it was practically none.

The white ten-piece set could potentially be further fused to produce a green ten-piece set and also had a connection to arms and skulls—after all, there were items like helmets and gloves. However, it was unfortunate that both the white and green ten-piece sets had been completely phased out due to rank promotions.

Thus, from this aspect, Raccoon City was essentially no longer able to provide Zhang Yanhang with any useful equipment.

But in comparison to the awkward situation of Raccoon City as an initial newbie map, the situation in the Goblin Plain next to Raccoon City was undoubtedly much better. It was the third area Zhang Yanhang had cleared, the monsters were much stronger, and the equipment provided was of much higher quality, which he could still normally use even after advancing to the third tier.

Speaking of the equipment related to arms and skulls in the Goblin Plain, first and foremost were the Dragon Power Bracelets that had previously reached their fusion limit and could not be further enhanced, and Zhang Yanhang had constantly complained about having to keep acquiring them. Now, the surplus Dragon Power Bracelets finally had a chance to be put back to work.

Previously, Zhang Yanhang had one nearly purple quality full-score Dragon Power Bracelet +4, one of the same purple quality Dragon Power Bracelet +3, and twenty-five ordinary blue quality Dragon Power Bracelets, while now, he wore dark purple quality Dragon Power Bracelet +5, synthesized from eight pairs of Dragon Power Bracelet +4.

Therefore, under the circumstances where he was not pursuing the limit of dark purple quality Dragon Power Bracelet +5, the nearly purple quality full-score Dragon Power Bracelet +4 was already the best option, and it just so happened to suit his needs to again outfit the additional arms he had grown with two pairs of purple quality Dragon Power Bracelet +4.

To fuse a pair of purple quality Dragon Power Bracelet +4, it required sixteen pairs of ordinary blue quality Dragon Power Bracelets, but now since Zhang Yanhang already had a pair of Dragon Power Bracelet +3, he just needed to take out eight pairs from those twenty-five ordinary bracelets to reforge another Dragon Power Bracelet +3.

After restarting the alchemy array, Zhang Yanhang quickly began the fusion process with those eight pairs of ordinary blue quality Dragon Power Bracelets.
