Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Value Recovery Speed was particularly slow, even actively using Limitless Universe Skill, it would take several hours to fully restore his Energy Value. Therefore, with high energy-consuming skills like "Magic Shooting," Zhang Yanhang felt unworthy of possessing them.
Zhang Yanhang thought the effects of Magic Gunman seemed rather good; after all, the Ashen World was so vast, it wouldn’t all be filled with monsters adept at Physical Attack like zombies and Crimson Iron Ants. Undoubtedly, he would encounter magic-using monsters in the future, and at that point, the Magic-breaking effect of the Magic Gunman would likely play a significant role.
Thus, if Zhang Yanhang’s Energy Value limit could rise significantly in a short time, he might seriously consider the "Magic Gunman" suffix. But for now, it simply wasn’t feasible.
Though Zhang Yanhang had mentioned wanting items like Yellow Medicine Grass, which one could consume to quickly enhance the Energy Value limit, regrettably, aside from raising his Intelligence Attribute, he had yet to find any means to promptly increase his Energy Value limit.
About this matter, Zhang Yanhang planned to address it after his Promotion to Second Tier, mainly because his current Energy Value limit was too low, and even if he actively engaged in Multiple Choice problems, they definitely wouldn’t concern him.
After reviewing the Magic Gunman in option one, Zhang Yanhang continued to look at the second option, Heavy Firepower Master.
"Heavy and super-heavy weapons, this condition is somewhat harsh," recalled Zhang Yanhang, only weapons that couldn’t be operated by a single person were considered heavy, such as self-propelled guns and rocket cannons.
Weapons like the AT-4 rocket launcher Zhang Yanhang had previously used, which a single person could operate, were actually considered light equipment. The machine guns Zhang Yanhang hoped to obtain were also light equipment; generally, only equipment with ’cannon’ in the name counted as heavy.
And as for super-heavy weapons, Zhang Yanhang reckoned things would have to be at the level of strategic bombers and missile launch vehicles to qualify as super-heavy weapons. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Nove1Fire.net
"I can’t even get a machine gun right now, let alone these heavy weapons. And even if I could get them, figuring out how to bring them into the Ashen World would be another challenge..."
For a lover of large-caliber weapons like Zhang Yanhang, he really wanted to choose Heavy Firepower Master, but unfortunately, he lacked suitable heavy weapons.
Without heavy weapons, selecting Heavy Firepower Master would only have one outcome: a significant reduction in Remote Attack Power Bonus for his M4A1 rifle and AT-4 rocket launcher. He didn’t want to decrease his Attack Power for no reason.
"Though I really like it, the weapons I have are just too weak. So, I choose Option Three, Remote Attack Power +30%."
While he couldn’t select Heavy Firepower, Zhang Yanhang quite liked the simple Additional Attribute of Remote Attack Power +30%; although most straightforward, it was also the most practical, with no qualifications or restrictions whatsoever—as long as it was a ranged attack, it would receive the bonus.
After selecting the Gun Master skill’s upgrade to LV.MAX, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the Skill Effect after the upgrade.
[Gun Master LV.MAX (Passive)]
[Skill Effect: Increase Remote Attack Power by 100% (+10%), enhance proficiency in firearms and related remote combat skills.]
[Additional Attribute: Remote Attack Power +50% (+30%).]
"Just went up one level, but it boosted Attack Power by 40%. That’s great, although it cost a whopping 12,800 Soul points, it was truly worth it."
After the upgrade, Zhang Yanhang’s Remote Attack Power Bonus had reached an incredible 150%. He felt that if he could have upgraded his Gun Master skill to LV.MAX before fighting the Tracker, it definitely wouldn’t have cost so many AT-4 rocket launchers.
Zhang Yanhang only had a dozen or so AT-4 rocket launchers in total, yet he had used up half of them in a single go to bombard the Tracker.
Although it was a big expense, if you were to ask Zhang Yanhang if he regretted it, he actually felt no regret at all. After all, the gains were substantial: just a few rocket launchers picked up for free from a gun store were traded for three Dark Purple Quality items. The cost-performance ratio was extremely high; zero cost for a high return—what was there to be dissatisfied with?
After upgrading the Gun Master skill, Zhang Yanhang once again glanced at his Soul points balance.
[Soul points: 22834 (-12800)]
"With only 22834 Soul points remaining, it might not be enough to upgrade the Fighting Master skill to LV.MAX."
Zhang Yanhang calculated carefully: upgrading Fighting Master to LV.7 needed 1600 Soul points, to LV.8 needed 3200 Soul points, to LV.9 needed 6400 Soul points, and to LV.10 needed 12800 Soul points. Altogether, the total was 24000 Soul points.
"I need a total of 24000 Soul points, but I only have 22834, short by 1166 Soul points..." Failing to upgrade by such a small margin made Zhang Yanhang feel somewhat unwilling to let it go.
"Just now, when I cleared the sewers and Umbrella Corporation’s Raccoon City branch, I collected several dozen Treasure boxes. Maybe I’ll open them now. This should be enough to gather the required Soul points to upgrade Fighting Master to LV.MAX."
After a little hesitation, Zhang Yanhang ultimately dumped dozens of Treasure boxes out of his Waist Bag.
Counting the number of Treasure boxes, he had killed over three hundred zombies in the sewers and the Umbrella Corporation branch in Raccoon City, which provided him with forty-two Treasure boxes. Then there were the fourteen Gamma Type Hunters in the sewers, which provided two boxes.
Additionally, from clearing the Slot machine jackpot, he got eleven boxes. Now Zhang Yanhang had a total of fifty-three boxes on hand; he was definitely going to make up the shortfall of 1166 Soul points with no trouble.
After counting the Treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang randomly selected a Green treasure box.
[Would you like to open ’Drop Treasure box (Gamma Type Hunter)’?]
"Yes, open it." As Zhang Yanhang made his choice, time instantly paused.
[Please select the specific contents of ’Drop Treasure box (Gamma Type Hunter)’]
After opening all fifty-three Treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang didn’t immediately check the contents, but instead directly looked at his Soul points balance.
[Soul points: 25674 (+2840)]
