After killing a hundred monsters in the prize pool, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the pit filled with corpses, "The T-001 Prototype Tyrant still hasn’t dropped a treasure box this time, it seems we might need to wait a few more rounds."
"And, the jackpot and second prizes in the slot machine haven’t been refreshed this time either, it has been over a week now, they can’t really be one-time rewards, right?
But considering the current situation, even if they aren’t one-time rewards, it probably takes half a month or a month for them to refresh."
By the time Zhang Yanhang came back to Ashen World, half a month would have passed since the jackpot and second prizes were taken, and if the slot machine still hadn’t refreshed by then, Zhang Yanhang could only try to think positively, perhaps the slot machine only refreshes once a month.
Mainly because, if the refresh time for the jackpot and second prizes of the slot machine is longer than a month, it would basically be equal to a one-time reward for him.
After all, his promotion to Second Tier probably only needs about half a month, and if the slot machine’s refresh time is longer than a month, by then, Zhang Yanhang might have already advanced to Third Tier, and the jackpot and second prizes would indeed be useless to him.
Zhang Yanhang gathered the treasure boxes dropped by the hundred monsters, besides the T-001 Prototype Tyrant not dropping a treasure box, the Beta-type Hunters and Gamma Type Hunters did not drop any treasure boxes either, only First Tier Two Stars and below monsters dropped a small number of treasure boxes.
Even adding them all together, it barely reached double digits, just eleven treasure boxes in total, with the Lickers and Zombie Dogs each accounting for three, followed by Ordinary zombies that, due to their greater number, contributed five treasure boxes, and finally, there was just one treasure box from the Police Zombie.
Because he had just traded away a Green Quality Ten-piece Set for the Dilophosaurus Potion, Zhang Yanhang actually quite wanted the treasure box of the Police Zombie to replenish his stock.
Moreover, he felt the Anti-riot Shield that came out of the Police Zombie’s treasure box was quite useful, although the quality was rubbish, it had the advantage of large volume, which allowed embedding a considerable number of non-takeaway items.
Other items, like bulletproof vests and police boots, were obviously not quite right, their volumes too small to embed many non-takeaway items.
So, even though Zhang Yanhang couldn’t use the Anti-riot Shield during combat, he very much needed it for other purposes.
Zhang Yanhang put the treasure boxes into his Waist Bag and then carried the slot machine upstairs, placing it back in apartment 301.
"Next up is the formal monster hunting, starting with clearing the sewers," Zhang Yanhang had incidentally used Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to sense the distribution of nearby monsters while clearing the prize pool downstairs.
Perhaps because another four days had passed, the previously cleared Outer Zone and Middle Layer had spawned quite a few new zombies, although they were scattered, if zombies had refreshed throughout the entirety of Raccoon City, this batch of new zombies would have been at least a few hundred.
"Indeed, it’s more comfortable hunting monsters in the open spaces of Raccoon City. The Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil perception is basically not affected by any interference, making it easy to scan a large area. However, while in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, the scanning range shrank drastically from four digits to three digits."
During his time in the Crimson Iron Ant Nest, his Perception could only scan about two hundred meters, making him feel extremely stifled.
"But unfortunately, I’m going to clear the sewers next, and that kind of environment will also cause some interference with my Perception."
Zhang Yanhang now just hoped to advance to Second Tier quickly, so he could then improve his Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Skill. With the improvement of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, both his Perception Range and strength would definitely increase again.
For the part of the zombies that had reappeared in Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang felt that he should find some time to clear them later, but for now, he didn’t have much time.
"Although clearing the sewers is really troublesome, in order to improve the completion of the Evaluation Treasure Box, one still needs to diligently exterminate the monsters in the sewers; Ordinary zombies can be overlooked, but there are Gamma Type Hunters in the sewer."
Zhang Yanhang remembered that there were still about a dozen Gamma Type Hunters left in the sewer. He didn’t know if failing to completely hunt a certain type of monster would affect the completion and Evaluation Level, so, to be cautious, it was best to clear out all the Gamma Type Hunters.
Zhang Yanhang silently sighed, then hopped out the window. After his cleaning, Raccoon City was now virtually a dead city, and there was little need to worry about closing windows or doors, which is why Zhang Yanhang just jumped out directly.
Ashen World was different from the Main World, here, Zhang Yanhang didn’t have to worry about damaging buildings; when jumping off buildings in the Main World, he still had to actively Repair the floor tiles, but this didn’t exist as a problem in Ashen World.
After successfully landing on the ground, Zhang Yanhang found a nearby sewer manhole and climbed in. Unlike clearing the aboveground part of Raccoon City where he progressed from the outside in, his sewer clear-out began with the sewers at the entrance of the police station in the Core Area.
Thus, Zhang Yanhang had already successfully cleared all the sewers in the Core Area and Middle Layer, and even cleared a part underneath the Outer Zone. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIＦire.net
He had cleared out more than half of the sewers in total, and the remaining areas would take at most two or three more hours to clear out successfully.
Zhang Yanhang had a total of nine and a half hours this time, even if he wasted two and a half hours in the sewers, he’d still have seven hours left to clear the Umbrella company’s Raccoon City branch and the Lord Monster Tracker located beneath it.
Zhang Yanhang had incidentally scanned the Umbrella company’s Raccoon City branch located below the police station when he searched for firearms. Well, being an underground construction, its area couldn’t possibly be as ridiculously large as a normal aboveground building, easily covering tens of thousands of acres.
Although the Umbrella company’s Raccoon City branch was much larger than the police station in terms of total area, it was only about the size of an ordinary skyscraper.
