Chapter 273
"Forget it, let's not think about the equipment for now, let's upgrade the skills next. Speaking of which, after I finished opening the treasure chest, I haven't seen how much soul points I have gained this time." Zhang Yanhang said while Opened the soul point balance.
[Soul points: 34539 (+34465)]
"I remember that I only had 74 soul points left before, but now after killing almost three or four thousand red iron ants, I immediately regained 34465 soul points.
With so many soul points, I feel that I can directly upgrade the death wave skill to LV.MAX. I hope that the additional attributes obtained when the death wave is upgraded to LV.MAX can be as useful as possible, and don't make the same mistakes again. "
Regarding the additional ability obtained when the death wave was upgraded to LV.6, Zhang Yanhang felt that the effect of making friendly targets immune to death wave attacks was really useless after hunting monsters in the world of ashes for a while, because he was There is indeed nothing worthy of being judged as a friendly target in the world of ashes.
Zhang Yanhang estimated that the only scene where he would use this ability in the future would be to cooperate with other awakened people to develop the world of ashes, but that was definitely impossible.
Because it would be pure waste if other Awakened people were to hunt and kill monsters. The main reason is that ordinary Awakened people like the group leader need to kill dozens of monsters in a row when hunting monsters of the same rank. Barely drops a treasure chest.
Compared with Zhang Yanhang's previous probability that a maximum of eight or nine monsters could drop a treasure chest, the probability is too far. Even if he hunts the first-order red iron ants now, the drop rate has been doubled due to the level penalty. But it is still a drop rate that other awakened people can't even imagine.
Perhaps only the awakened 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 that a maximum of eight or nine red iron ants can drop a treasure box, it is still Totally impossible.
Therefore, if other awakened people were to hunt and kill some of the monsters, the overall rate of return in this area would be greatly reduced to a horrible stage.
Moreover, ordinary awakened people have very few treasure chest drop rates, and there are very few things that can be opened, and even if they can be opened, generally they can only open some guaranteed items.
For example, Zhang Yanhang can get ten times the soul points of hunting monsters with just one option every time, but ordinary awakened people can only get the lowest one times the soul points, even if three item slots are added to It's only three times together, but Zhang Yanhang's three options add up to a minimum of thirty times the soul point income.
The difference in revenue efficiency between the two is not insignificant.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, if Zhang Yanhang's soul point yield rate for hunting monsters of the same level is at least four times, then the soul point yield rate for ordinary awakened people hunting monsters of the same level is about 1.00 or so.
Basically, ordinary awakened people improve themselves purely by killing monsters' soul points. After all, the benefits from the treasure chest definitely cannot be counted.
It is precisely because he knows that multiple choices can widen such a large income gap between himself and other ordinary awakeners, Zhang Yanhang is confident that he has awakened his abilities half a year ago and entered the world of ashes to hunt The monster-killing boss, the Awakened, is going after him.
From the perspective of the yield gap alone, it is already a predetermined fact that he will overtake these awakened bosses. It is nothing more than a matter of time. Now he is already working hard to be promoted to the third rank.
Zhang Yanhang reckons that by the time of his birthday in February next year, he will at least become a fifth-level or even sixth-level awakener. After all, there are still about three and a half months before February.
Judging from the three weeks he planned for himself to advance to the third rank and the four weeks to advance to the fourth rank, after he was promoted to the fourth rank, there would be at least one more month left before his birthday, which was used to advance to the fifth rank Should still be no problem.
To sum up, as long as we simply calculate the average efficiency of the two, we can conclude that letting Zhang Yanhang team up with other awakened people to clean up the world of ashes will reduce his income. His own efficiency is four times, while that of ordinary awakened people is doubled. Efficiency, the combined average efficiency of the two is 2.5 times.
Because the total number of monsters in each area of Ashes World is constant, reducing the rate of return from four times to 2.5 times is equivalent to causing Zhang Yanhang to lose part of his income out of thin air.
And what did he gain? It just saves a part of the hunting time, but he is not short of time, and even said that he is actually quite free.
After all, Zhang Yanhang is just a college student, and he doesn't need to go to work, so he can control his own time freely. Therefore, instead of choosing to cooperate with other awakened people to save time, Zhang Yanhang still prefers to clean up the monsters in the world of ashes by himself.
Moreover, in addition to the reduction in potential benefits, there will be another disadvantage of cooperating with other awakened people to clean up the world of ashes, that is, the evaluation level of the ashes treasure chest will be reduced.
The evaluation level determines the upper limit of the quality of the items that can be opened in the Ashes Treasure Chest. Once you cooperate with other awakened people to clean up, it is bound to be part of the completion level by the other party. At that time, what does Zhang Yanhang's evaluation level say? It's EX rank, and it's not sure whether it can keep the S rank, it's really a blood loss.
In other words, 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 awakened people is equivalent to passively reducing the upper limit of the quality that Zhang Yanhang's talent can finally achieve.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that may lead to a significant reduction in his potential income that Zhang Yanhang has always been alone when hunting monsters in the world of ashes.
By the way, Zhang Yanhang often saw information about various awakened people teaming up to hunt monsters in the world of Ashes in the special group chat of the Ashes World set up by the group leader, but he never paid attention to it.
Moreover, other awakened people team up with each other to hunt monsters in the world of ashes. In fact, a considerable part of it is because they are worried about their own safety. They feel that having a teammate to take care of them can reduce the chance of death, while Zhang Yanhang is not worried about this at all. question.
For Zhang Yanhang, unless he encounters some monsters with the space system and time system, otherwise, he can rely on his invincibility and supreme will plus the multi-dimensional no-dead angle brought by the indestructible golden body skill. Protection, even if you really can't beat it, at least escaping is definitely not 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 monsters with such abilities, Zhang Yanhang's level will definitely be raised to a corresponding level. A brand new level, by then he should already have obtained the relevant protection ability in this area.
Therefore, as long as Zhang Yanhang didn't intentionally die at the second level and went to some fourth-level area to hunt monsters, there was basically no need to worry about his life safety.
It was even said that it was completely the opposite. On the contrary, the monsters needed to worry about their own safety. After all, Zhang Yanhang basically never missed any monsters wherever he went, and he had to clear all the monsters before going to the next area.
"Forget it, it's impossible to form a team anyway, unless I can get more benefits than simply hunting monsters. If this is the case, I might think about it a little bit. The next step is to directly improve the skill level Go ahead. Choose! Skill level up!"
Zhang Yanhang feels that if he spends all the more than 30,000 soul points this time, then his strength will definitely show a more obvious improvement again.
[Whether to strengthen the skill level? 】
[Option 1: Upgrade 'Gun Master LV.MAX' to 'Gun Master LV.5' (Consume 1 point of source of ashes and 51200 soul points.)]
...
[Option 5: Upgrade from ‘The Promise of the Universe [Level 2] LV.4’ to ‘The Promise of the Universe [Level 2] LV.5’ (consume 9660 soul points.)]
[Option 6: 'Alchemy' is upgraded to '? ? ? ’ (cannot be strengthened)]
[Option 7: Upgrade 'Death Wave LV.6' to 'Death Wave LV.7' (1600 soul points are consumed.)]
[Option 8: Upgrade 'Supreme Will LV.3' to 'Supreme Will LV.4' (200 soul points are consumed.)]
[Option 9: Upgrade from 'Indestructible Golden Body LV.5' to 'Indestructible Golden Body LV.6' (consumes 800 soul points.)]
"Although I have expected it for a long time, I still can't help but want to complain. The demand for the upgrade of the Qiankun Wuji Gong is too high, right? This is only LV.5, and it needs 9660 soul points. Rounding it up is one 10,000 soul points, I remember that the last upgrade to LV.4 only consumed 7,000 soul points.
Alas, the need for soul points increased by 3,000 points just by leveling up, which is even faster than the need for upgrading the professional level. At any rate, the professional level is fixed at 2,000 points each time, but this Qiankun Wuji Kungfu is more and more powerful. up more.
The second-level Qiankun Wuji Kung Fu is the same as the first-level skill, which is ten levels, but now it needs 10,000 soul points just halfway through, and the remaining five levels are real five-digit starting points. Wait until it is upgraded to LV. 9 or LV.10, it is estimated that tens of thousands of soul points are required for each level to ascend. "
Zhang Yanhang made a simple calculation, and found that the sum of the income of a small red iron ant nest Dalagu is not enough to raise Qiankun Wujigong to LV.MAX status, let alone upgrade his career level and skill level.
Looking at it this way, Zhang Yanhang feels that if he wants to upgrade the Qiankun Wuji Kungfu to LV.MAX, he probably won't be able to complete it until next week when the Goblin Plain is cleared.
"But although Qiankun Wuji Gong is very expensive, the more than 30,000 soul points in my body can only be upgraded by two levels at most, but the death wave skill is cheap, and it only costs 12,800 to upgrade LV.10 Hundreds of soul points, the soul points on my body can support the death wave skill to directly upgrade to four levels and raise it to LV.MAX.
So, I choose option seven to raise the death wave skill to LV.7. "
This time, Zhang Yanhang intends to upgrade the skills of Death Wave to LV.MAX first, and then use the remaining soul points to upgrade the Qiankun Wuji Kungfu. As for what to do if there are still soul points left after upgrading the Qiankun Wuji Kungfu ? That is naturally used to upgrade the indestructible golden body.
…………
Because of the previous experience, Zhang Yanhang already knew that the additional attribute of the death wave skill gave fixed rewards, so this time, Zhang Yanhang did not wait for the non-existent lottery option, but directly opened the death wave LV. MAX skill effect.
[Death Wave LV.MAX (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) ) fixed damage.
The coverage range is 500 meters (+200 meters), and the same target can only be damaged once within 24 hours. No cooling time, consumes a small amount of stamina. 】
[Additional Attribute: Proficiency - You are now able to master the death wave skill proficiently. You have gained the ability to mark friendly targets, and the marked target will be immune to the fixed damage from the death wave skill. 】
[Additional Attribute: Proficiency - You have become more proficient in controlling the death wave skill now, you have gained the ability to freely manipulate the coverage area of the death wave skill (can only be adjusted downward), after the coverage area of the death wave skill is reduced, physical strength Consumption will be reduced accordingly. 】
"Very good, unlike when I upgraded to LV.6 before, this time the additional ability obtained after upgrading to LV.10 is quite useful. If the physical consumption can be reduced by reducing the range, it means that I have released The skill count of death fluctuations can be further increased while maintaining the upper limit of stamina."
Compared with the additional ability acquired by 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 Death Wave skill, it is also a good thing to increase the number of releases .
In fact, Zhang Yanhang has always felt that the coverage of this death wave skill is often wasted a lot.
For example, the monsters in the red iron ant nest are actually only gathered at a distance of tens of meters or a hundred meters near Zhang Yanhang, and there are obviously no other monsters at a further distance, but the death wave skill will still extend straight to Further, until the upper limit of coverage is reached.
If this is the case, it would be quite a waste, and now that the death wave skill has been upgraded to LV. MAX, he can finally control the coverage of the death wave skill.
