[Item Two]

[Option One: G-071 Weapon-grade Enriched Uranium Fuel Rod (Dedicated for Miniature Nuclear Reactor), Quality: Golden, Material]

[Option Two: 35,000 Soul points]

[Option Three: 70,000 Soul points]

"With Talent occupying the first item slot, it's unsurprising that the second item slot is related to Soul points, but simultaneously it's also related to materials.

Goodness, they actually managed to include a weapon-grade enriched uranium fuel rod, truly an unheard-of absurdity."

Previously, Zhang Yanhang obtained a highly enriched uranium fuel rod from the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank with a uranium content of over 80%, while the weapon-grade enriched uranium fuel rod boasts an astonishing content of over 90%.

Moreover, just from the name, it's clear—weapon-grade, what does that mean? It's called weapon-grade if it can be directly used in a nuclear bomb. In other words, normally no one would dare to use this as a fuel rod, as it's a matter of not just luxury, but of easily vanishing without a trace.

"Although I had anticipated the enormous energy consumption needed for the outrageous electromagnetic railgun technology, I hadn't expected that they were using weapon-grade enriched uranium fuel rods as nuclear reactor fuel. No wonder the explosion was so powerful; it truly was a nuclear explosion."

Despite possibly having a low yield, a nuclear explosion is still a nuclear explosion. Zhang Yanhang thought maybe someday he could boast that he's a man who has survived a nuclear blast, successfully unlocking a new milestone, a very significant one.

[Item Three]

[Option One: 7,000 Soul points]

[Option Two: 35,000 Soul points]

[Option Three: 70,000 Soul points]

"Another option related to Soul points? By the way, it seems I haven't encountered any pet-related options recently. Since when? It seems it's been that way since the Third Tier. Well, it hasn't been that long; after all, it was just last week."

To be honest, Zhang Yanhang actually still wants to get a pet. Since he stays alone in the Ashen World all the time, he occasionally feels a bit lonely. However, he has to admit that even if he truly feels lonely, he has already long been accustomed to it, given that he has risen from the First Tier to the Fourth Tier.

Although it has only spanned a month overall, Zhang Yanhang still feels like he's been on a very long journey, stretching so long it's as if more than a year has passed, not just a month. Yeah, that's probably what people mean by feeling like a month drags on like a year.

"In the golden quality drop treasure box of the electromagnetic railgun, a Soul point option is worth 70,000 Soul points, and there are three Soul point options in each drop treasure box, so it adds up to a total of 210,000 Soul points, not bad."

From Zhang Yanhang's perspective, if this trend continues, he should indeed be able to obtain a single Soul point option from Ancestor Virus Infected, breaking into the six-figure Soul point range in a dark gold quality treasure box. By then, any random treasure box will probably yield tens of thousands of Soul points.

[Item Four]

[Option One: Omida Nuclear Electromagnetic Cannon, Quality: Golden, Weapon]

[Option Two: 35,000 Soul points]

[Option Three: 70,000 Soul points]

"Initially, I thought the fourth item slot might have a new equipment or artifact option, but unexpectedly, it's another Soul point-related option. That's three Soul point-related options in a row, which is actually quite common."

Regarding the Omida Nuclear Electromagnetic Cannon mentioned in the options, Zhang Yanhang figured it was probably those electromagnetic guns used in the constant bombardment he endured previously, loaded with solid shells, using electromagnetic acceleration, and ultimately attacking enemies purely through impact.

Of course, considering Zhang Yanhang's own experiences, he felt from his own sensory perspective that those electromagnetic cannons should not be solely hammering enemies with impact. Most likely, there's a skill that helps enhance attack power, or perhaps some energy attack element is added.

But what's worth mentioning is that what left a deeper impression on Zhang Yanhang was actually the laser cannon mounted on the electromagnetic railgun train, since it could blast away thousands of Shield Value points in one shot. How could it not leave a lasting impression?

For ordinary Fourth Tier Awakened, even if they max out their Constitution Attribute, one bar of Life Value would likely not be enough to withstand its blast. It must be said, this combined skill is genuinely strong.

"By the way, where did the name Omida come from? Does it have any relation to Ohm's law in electromagnetism?"

Zhang Yanhang felt, coupling it with Kulunzo earlier, that Omida most likely also has ties to Ohm's law. Umbrella company must have had new breakthroughs and discoveries here before crafting that peculiar electromagnetic railgun train.

[Item Five]

[Option One: Las Plagas Parasite Virus (Makini Type 3), Quality: Light Gold, Artifact]

[Option Two: G-Nemesis Parasite Virus (Brain-eating Parasite), Quality: Golden, Artifact]

[Option Three: T/G Composite Virus Modification Medicine, Quality: Dark Gold, Artifact]

"Goodness, what are these things? Although artifacts have finally appeared, these things look anything but normal..."

Out of curiosity, Zhang Yanhang first glanced at the Las Plagas Parasite Virus, also known as Makini Type 3 Parasite Virus's attribute list, and found that this item was precisely the artifact he had wanted that could increase the Life Value Limit.

Except, although Makini Type 3 Parasite indeed increases the host's Life Value Limit, its mechanism involves parasitizing the host's central nervous system, completely controlling the host's brain, and then using the secretion fluid generated through its daily activities to increase the Life Value Limit.

In other words, consume the host, drink from the host, then drop a little waste to slightly maintain the host's body skills to prevent sudden death. If extremely hungry, it might nibble on the brain for a fresh taste.

However, the Makini parasitic virus also has the tendency to manipulate its own host to be actively consumed by stronger targets, thereby swapping to a stronger host, like transferring from a rabbit to a wolf, for example. Thus, the risk level is high, and you never know when you might be used as cannon fodder.

"But since it's possible to open a parasite virus drop treasure box from the electromagnetic railgun, it suggests it might really house something similar inside, after all, its whole shape resembles a big worm, having its body affected by parasites isn't entirely outlandish."

After checking the Makini virus, Zhang Yanhang casually checked out the attribute list of the G-Nemesis parasite and discovered that this artifact also increases the Life Value Limit.

Speaking of this Nemesis parasite, Zhang Yanhang is quite familiar with it, since he previously saw it on the Tracker. Or to say, this thing might actually be the true form of the Revenge Goddess.

Back then, the Tracker had a final status called Revenge Goddess Descent, which meant its brain was completely consumed and manipulated by this Nemesis parasite, thus transforming into a chaotic yet powerful Revenge Goddess state.

In this regard, one can directly observe the absurdity of this Revenge Goddess parasite.

Makini virus at most nibbles a bit for freshness or expands its living conditions, but this Revenge Goddess parasite consumes as much as possible, leaving only the most fundamental or minimum brain tissue, then completely replacing brain functions, while granting super strong regeneration and body proliferation.

Reflected in this option, the G-Nemesis parasite after consumption increases the Life Value Limit but reduces Intelligence Attribute and Energy Value Limit.

Overall, the growth in Life Value Limit outweighs the reduction in Energy Value Limit, but it's definitely an unworthy trade. After all, he's currently in dire need of the Energy Value Limit, and cannot let this damn parasite squander his already scarce Energy Value Limit.

Hence, Zhang Yanhang decided not to choose either the Makini parasitic virus or the Revenge Goddess parasitic virus, so he began looking into the third option, which is the highest quality T/G synthetic virus modification medicine's attribute list, which seemed slightly more reasonable.

[Introduction: Coincidentally came to deliver documents but unexpectedly caught my assistant changing clothes. First charging with a 'he~' then with a 'tui!' spat disdainfully before leaving, even threatening to accuse me of workplace sexual harassment. Obviously, she entered without knocking, why toss blame back at me first? This is just too unfair.

However, a few days later, when I saw the assistant again, she looked as usual, and I didn't receive any notice of punishment, seemingly she never really accused me of workplace sexual harassment, so I quickly put it behind me and resumed focusing on new project research work.

Indeed, I've received new research work, but this time not assigned by the director. I am now also a director-level researcher, ranked the same as the director, and he can't order me anymore. Currently, I focus on the energy department while he remains in the biological department, with no further crossover.

Yet, I took on this research work proactively because I noticed Dr. Kristen seems quite troubled recently. She told me traditional biological weapons might temporarily hit a bottleneck, but the previous Talos Tyrant idea was great, so she felt there might be more to explore on the mechanical side.

Consequently, she's looking for mechanical experts lately, hoping to design and manufacture stronger mechanical equipment for future Tyrant modification projects. However, due to Umbrella Company's relative focus on biotechnology, there aren't many related talents in this area. Currently, there's no senior researcher capable of solving this problem.

Though Dr. Kristen is seeking mechanical talent, I think energy might sometimes be more crucial. Although I lack mechanical knowledge, perhaps I can enhance the Tyrant's strength via energy technology, like equipping better armor and more powerful energy weapons.

After hearing my thoughts, Dr. Kristen seemed very pleased and immediately allocated a significant budget for me to pursue the idea.

Meanwhile, my relationship with Dr. Kristen is rapidly warming up, at least that's how it feels to me. In the past, as a low-level researcher, I could only dine with Dr. Kristen separated by a fence, a vast greenery, or an entire wall.

But lately, since being promoted to director-level researcher, I can finally enter the advanced cafeteria and dine with her. Though we still can't share the same table, I can naturally sit at her adjacent table or directly in front of her, watching her beautiful face every time increasing my appetite.

Once the central energy issue was resolved, everything else fell smoothly into place, because with a miniature nuclear reactor as the energy source, I could recklessly equip all sorts of high-power energy weapons on the Tyrant.

However, gradually, I started feeling that the Tyrant wasn't specifically made for weapon usage. Rather, directly using the miniature nuclear reactor to build a truly super weapon might be more satisfying.]

"Built a super weapon, huh? And ended up with the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank, a piece of junk like that?"

Zhang Yanhang previously suspected the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank was created by this Licking Dog Researcher, now it seems true. But this time, without any confusion, his designing capability only appears somewhat lacking, perhaps due to insufficient related experience, thus producing the wasteful Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank.

Yet evidently, this Licking Dog Researcher quickly learned from the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank, producing the electromagnetic railgun that's genuinely exceptional both in power and combat technique, hence, this guy might indeed be a genius.

"Speaking of, earlier promised some visual spectacle, and then just this? I took off my pants only for this?"

For this part, Zhang Yanhang is somewhat disappointed in this Licking Dog Researcher. Damn it, why not seize the chance and just go big? Okay, if he could really be so decisive, he wouldn't have turned into a licking dog.

"Just transitioning from dining across greenery to actually dining at the adjacent table makes him so happy, this licking dog is truly beyond hope. He should at least attempt dining at the same table, it's typical that colleagues dine together, isn't it?"

Zhang Yanhang feels that if this progresses as is, unless one day, this Licking Dog Researcher can climb up to become Kristen's superior, otherwise, there's utterly no hope at all.
