"Forget it, let's not think about the equipment for now. Let's upgrade our skills next. Speaking of which, after I opened the treasure box, I haven't seen how much soul points I gained this time." Zhang Yanhang said as he spoke.
The soul point balance is opened.
[Soul points: 34539 (+34465)]
"I remember that I only had 74 soul points left before, but now after killing almost three to four thousand red iron ants, I immediately regained 34,465 soul points.
With so many soul points, I feel like I can directly upgrade the Death Wave skill to
As for the additional ability gained when the Death Wave was upgraded to LV.6, Zhang Yanhang, after hunting monsters for a while in the Ashes World, felt more and more that the effect of making friendly targets immune to Death Wave attacks was really useless, because he was in
There really isn't anything worthy of being considered a friendly target in the world of Ashes.
Zhang Yanhang estimated that the only scenario where he would use this ability in the future would be to cooperate with other awakened people to develop the Ashes World, but that is definitely impossible.
Because if other Awakeners are allowed to hunt monsters, it would be a pure waste. The main reason is that ordinary Awakeners like the group leader need to kill dozens of monsters in a row when hunting monsters of the same level.
A treasure chest barely dropped.
Compared with Zhang Yanhang's previous probability of dropping a treasure chest from up to eight or nine monsters, it is far different, even if he is now hunting first-order red iron ants, the drop rate has been doubled due to the rank penalty.
But it is still a drop rate that other awakened people cannot even imagine.
Perhaps only awakened ones with luck-related abilities can barely get close to this level of drop rate, but if you want to reach Zhang Yanhang's previous drop rate of up to eight or nine red iron ants, which can drop a treasure chest, it is still
Totally impossible to achieve.
Therefore, if other Awakeners are allowed to hunt some of the monsters, the overall rate of return in this area will be greatly reduced to a disastrous stage.
Moreover, in addition to the low drop rate of treasure chests, ordinary awakeners also have very few items that can be opened. Even if they can be opened, they can usually only open some guaranteed items.
For example, Zhang Yanhang can give out ten times the soul points of the income obtained from hunting monsters with just one option every time. However, for ordinary awakened people, they can usually only give out the lowest one times the soul points, even if three item slots are added to it.
The total is only three times, but Zhang Yanhang’s three options add up to a guaranteed 30 times the soul point income.
The gap in revenue efficiency between the two is not small. Therefore, theoretically speaking, if Zhang Yanhang’s soul point revenue rate from hunting monsters of the same level is at least four times, then the soul point revenue efficiency of ordinary awakened people from hunting monsters of the same level will be at least four times.
It was probably around one o'clock.
Basically, ordinary awakened people simply rely on the soul points of killing monsters to improve themselves. After all, the benefits from the treasure chest are definitely not included.
It is precisely because he knows that multi-choice selection can widen such a large income gap between himself and other ordinary awakened people, that Zhang Yanhang has the confidence to face the established fact that he has awakened his powers and entered the Ash World half a year ago despite being half a year behind.
The monster-killing boss Awakener gives chase.
From the perspective of the profit rate gap alone, it is already a predetermined fact that he will overtake these awakened masters. It is just a matter of time. Now he is already working hard to advance to the third level.
Zhang Yanhang estimates that by the time of his birthday in February next year, he will at least become a fifth-level or even sixth-level awakened person. After all, there are still almost three and a half months until February.
Judging from the time he planned for himself to advance to the third level in three weeks and to the fourth level in four weeks, after being promoted to the fourth level, there will be at least a month left before his birthday to advance to the fifth level.
It should still be no problem.
To sum up, by simply calculating the average efficiency of the two, we can conclude that letting Zhang Yanhang team up with other awakened people to clean up the Ash World will lead to a reduction in his income. He himself is four times more efficient, while ordinary awakened people are twice as efficient.
Efficiency, the combined average efficiency of the two is 2.5 times.
Because the total number of monsters in each area of the Ashes World is constant, the reduction from four times the return rate to 2.5 times the return rate is equivalent to Zhang Yanhang losing part of his income out of thin air.
And what did he get? It just saved some time for hunting, but he was not short of time, and he was actually quite leisurely.
After all, Zhang Yanhang is just a college student and does not need to go to work. He can completely control his time. Therefore, rather than choosing to cooperate with other awakened people to save time, Zhang Yanhang prefers to clean up the monsters in the ashes of the world by himself.
Moreover, in addition to lower potential benefits, working with other Awakeners to clean up the Ash World will also have another disadvantage, that is, the evaluation level of the Ash Treasure Chest will be lowered.
The evaluation level determines the upper limit of the quality of the items that can be found in the Ashes Treasure Chest. Once you cooperate with other awakened people to clean up, part of the completion level will inevitably be taken away by the other party. At that time, what will Zhang Yanhang’s evaluation level be?
It's not sure if you can keep the S level even if you're EX level, it's really a loss of blood.
It is even said that if Zhang Yanhang uses the talents dropped by monsters in the cooperatively developed area like Raccoon City and Red Iron Ant Nest, it means that the potential income will be further reduced.
Basically, it can be said that every monster killed by other Awakeners is equivalent to passively reducing the upper limit of the quality that the talent used by Zhang Yanhang can ultimately achieve.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that may significantly reduce his potential income that Zhang Yanhang is always alone when hunting monsters in the Ashes World.
By the way, Zhang Yanhang had often seen information about various awakened people forming teams to hunt monsters in the Ashes World in the group chat established by the group leader, but he had never paid attention to it.
Moreover, other awakened people formed teams with each other to go to the Ash World to hunt monsters. In fact, quite a few of them were worried about their own safety and felt that having a teammate to take care of them could reduce the chance of death. However, Zhang Yanhang was not worried about this at all.
question.
For Zhang Yanhang, unless he encounters some monsters with space system and time system, otherwise, he can only rely on his invulnerability and supreme will coupled with the multi-dimensional and no dead ends brought by his indestructible golden body skills.
Even if you really can't defeat him in terms of protection, at least escaping won't be a problem.
Of course, low-level monsters will definitely not have bug-level abilities such as space system and time system. When they really encounter a monster with such abilities, Zhang Yanhang's level will definitely be raised to a corresponding level.
A completely new level. By then, he should have already acquired the relevant protective abilities in this area.
Therefore, as long as Zhang Yanhang does not deliberately seek death at the second level and then go to some fourth-level area to hunt monsters, then there is basically no need to worry about his life safety.
It is even said that it is completely the opposite. Instead, monsters need to worry about their own lives and safety. After all, Zhang Yanhang will basically not miss any monster wherever he goes. He must clear out all the monsters before moving to the next area.
"Forget it, it's impossible to form a team anyway, unless I can get greater benefits than simply hunting monsters. If that's the case, I might give it a little thought. Next, I'll just upgrade my skill level.
Let’s choose! Improve your skill level!”
Zhang Yanhang feels that if he spends all the more than 30,000 soul points this time, his strength will definitely improve significantly again.
[Would you like to enhance your skill level?]
[Option 1: ‘Gun Master
…
[Option 5: ‘World’s Wuji Gong [Second Level] LV.4’ is upgraded to ‘Qiankun Wuji Gong [Second Level] LV.5’ (consumes 9660 soul points.)]
[Option 6: ‘Alchemy’ upgraded to ‘???’ (cannot be enhanced)]
[Option 7: ‘Death Wave LV.6’ is upgraded to ‘Death Wave LV.7’ (consuming 1,600 soul points.)]
[Option 8: ‘Supreme Will LV.3’ is upgraded to ‘Supreme Will LV.4’ (consumes 200 soul points.)]
[Option 9: ‘Indestructible Golden Body LV.5’ is upgraded to ‘Indestructible Golden Body LV.6’ (consuming 800 soul points.)]
"Although I have expected it for a long time, I still can't help but want to complain. The demand for upgrading the Qiankun Wuji Gong has increased too much, right? This is only LV.5, which requires 9660 soul points. Rounding up, it is one
Ten thousand soul points. I remember that the last time I upgraded to LV.4, I only consumed 7,000 soul points.
Alas, the requirement for soul points has increased by 3,000 points just by upgrading a level, which is even greater than the requirement for upgrading a professional level. After all, the professional level has a fixed increase of 2,000 points each time, but this Qiankun Wuji Kung Fu has surpassed
The more it rises.
The second level Qiankun Wuji Kung is the same as the first level, both are ten levels, but now it has only been upgraded to half and requires 10,000 soul points. The remaining five levels are a genuine five-digit starting price, and when upgraded to LV.
At level 9 or level 10, it is estimated that each level will require tens of thousands of soul points to level up."
Zhang Yanhang made a simple calculation and found that the total income of an entire small red iron ant nest, Daragu, was not enough to upgrade the Qiankun Wuji Kung Fu to X status, not to mention that he also had to upgrade his professional level and skill level.
Looking at it this way, Zhang Yanhang feels that if he wants to upgrade the Qiankun Wuji Kung Fu to X, he may have to wait until next week when the Goblin Plains are cleared to complete it.
"But although the Qiankun Wuji Kung Fu is very expensive, the more than 30,000 soul points I have now can only be upgraded by two levels at most. However, the death wave skill is cheap. Upgrading to LV.10 only costs 12,800.
One hundred soul points, the soul points in my body can support the death wave skill and directly upgrade it to four levels to X.
Therefore, I chose option seven to upgrade the death wave skill to LV.7."
Zhang Yanhang plans to upgrade his skills this time to upgrade his Death Wave skill to
Naturally, it is used to upgrade the indestructible golden body.
…………
Because of the last experience, Zhang Yanhang already knew that the additional attributes of the Death Wave skill gave fixed rewards. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang did not wait for the non-existent lottery option this time but directly opened the Death Wave X.
Skill effects.
[Death Wave X (Passive Active)]
[Passive effect: Weaken the enemy's defense by 10% (+4%). 】
[Active effect: After the skill is activated, it will cause 250 (+100) + 5.0 (+2.0) × 46 (intelligence) + 5.0 (+2.0) × 24 (charm) = 600 points (+255 points) to everyone within the coverage area.
) fixed damage.
The coverage range is 500 meters (+200 meters), and it can only cause damage to the same target once in 24 hours. There is no cooling time and a small amount of stamina is consumed.]
[Additional attributes: Proficiency - You are now able to master the Death Wave skill skillfully. You have gained the ability to mark friendly targets. The marked objects will be immune to the fixed damage from the Death Wave skill. 】
[Additional attributes: Mastery - You have now become more proficient in controlling the death wave skill. You have gained the ability to freely control the coverage of the death wave skill (can only be adjusted downward). After the coverage of the death wave skill is reduced, your physical strength
Consumption will also be reduced accordingly.】
"Very good, unlike when I upgraded to LV.6 before, the additional abilities gained after upgrading to LV.10 this time are quite useful. If I can reduce the physical consumption by narrowing the range, it means that I will release
The number of death wave skills can be further increased while the upper limit of physical strength remains unchanged."
Compared with the additional ability obtained at LV.6 before, Zhang Yanhang is quite satisfied with the additional ability of Death Wave LV.10. Although it does not further increase the power of the Death Wave skill, it is also a good thing to increase the number of releases.
.
In fact, Zhang Yanhang had always felt that the coverage of this death wave skill was often wasted.
For example, the monsters in the red iron ant nest actually only gather at a distance of tens or a hundred meters near Zhang Yanhang. There are obviously no other monsters in the farther distance, but the death wave skill will still extend straight towards Zhang Yanhang.
Further away, until the upper limit of coverage is reached.
If this happens, it will be quite a waste, and now after the death wave skill has been upgraded to X, he can finally control the coverage of the death wave skill.
