Chapter 585: Demonized Steel Umbrella Mushroom
October 25th, Sunday, is the Double Ninth Festival. It is also the first day that Zhang Yanhang jumps repeatedly between the main world and the ashes world. At two o'clock in the morning, Raccoon City, the sewer, and the abandoned transmission channel.
After pasting the blue talisman paper on the top of the earth wall, or directly burying it inside the earth wall for ten minutes out of caution, Zhang Yanhang could finally see a little change. The original blue talisman paper appeared at the bottom. There is a hint of bright blue, well, there is really only a hint. Even if most people can see it, they will simply ignore it or think it is an illusion.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Yanhang thinks this thing is probably a progress bar, but judging from the fact that it barely progressed a little bit in ten minutes, it seems that it may indeed take several days to truly repair the entire transmission channel. time.
If Zhang Yanhang were to quantify it based on the surface area of the entire talisman paper, then Zhang Yanhang could only say that the current progress is only 0.1%-0.2% at most. In other words, it took ten minutes to barely move at least one thousandth. That's one-fifth percentile progress.
The progress bar that was so slow gave Zhang Yanhang an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he were downloading dozens of gigabytes of game mod files or movie resources from Baidu Netdisk at a download speed of 100 KB, but Fortunately, there are some differences between the two after all.
The difference is that Baidu Netdisk can still redeem membership, but there is no recharge channel here. Of course, there is no problem with the slow speed. Zhang Yanhang is not in a hurry anyway, and there is no sense of desire and desire like downloading files. A sense of impatience.
Zhang Yanhang's requirements are very low. As long as it succeeds in the end, don't be like the real Baidu network disk where the file crashes at the end and cannot be repaired.
In this aspect, Zhang Yanhang is relatively confident, mainly because he trusts the group leaders. After all, the group leaders are all senior fourth-level awakeners, so they should definitely not fall behind in this aspect.
"Now that the talisman has been successfully activated, I will clean up the Demonic Swamp next. Anyway, it is a fully automatic repair. As long as there are no big problems at the beginning, it is basically unlikely that there will be any problems later. .”
After Zhang Yanhang confirmed that the talisman paper had begun to work normally, he immediately started teleporting to the border between Raccoon City and the Demonized Swamp.
At the boundary between the two, you can clearly see that the concrete floor and the soft ground of the swamp forest filled with humus layer (referred to as humus layer) are closely connected, but they seem to be separated by an invisible barrier. Although they are closely connected, But there is a clear distinction. There are fallen leaves everywhere in the forest, but there is no concrete ground that can cross the border to reach Raccoon City.
It's similar here in Raccoon City. There is a white plastic bag on the ground very close to it that looks very light and will be blown away by the wind, but it just stays on the borderline and can't move any further.
Zhang Yanhang has seen a lot of this magical phenomenon. After all, there are new areas in all four directions around Raccoon City.
Therefore, to a certain extent, this clear dividing line is actually a way for Zhang Yanhang to distinguish new areas. Whenever he sees such a clear dividing line, he knows that if he goes further, he will reach a new area. Turned around and started clearing the relevant monsters along the way.
After briefly observing the dividing line between Raccoon City and Demonized Swamp, Zhang Yanhang immediately entered Demonized Swamp, or swamp forest.
As soon as he entered this swamp forest, Zhang Yanhang immediately felt something was wrong on his feet. The forest floor was composed of a thick humus layer, which was even thicker than the grassland over the Goblin Plains. It is much softer, and it is the softest area among the four areas Zhang Yanhang has encountered so far.
The ground in this state will inevitably affect his movement speed in this area. After all, movement is reaction force. If the ground is not strong, it will definitely lead to a reduction in force feedback and a corresponding reduction in movement speed.
Moreover, the situation in the swamp forest is very different from that in the Goblin Plains. It can even be said to be worlds apart. Even though the ground in the Goblin Plains is softer, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages because of the open terrain. On the contrary, This greatly improved his hunting efficiency.
But this swamp forest is different. Not only is the geology soft, but the terrain is not open at all. There are trees everywhere, which must be quite obstructive when moving. Therefore, here, the soft geology and complex terrain are no longer simple. -1 plus -1 = -2, but it is at least equal to -3 or even more.
Although the clearing of the swamp forest has not yet officially started, Zhang Yanhang estimates that his hunting speed here will definitely not be faster. Even if the movement speed has improved a lot compared to before, the overall hunting efficiency should be better than that of goblins. It's slower on the plain side.
But fortunately, Zhang Yanhang has four days this time. It doesn't matter if the hunting efficiency is a little slower. As long as there is enough time, it won't be a problem. Anyway, as long as the cleanup can be completed in the end, it won't be a big problem.
"But the problem is that I'm worried that the cleanup won't be completed. Even if I make a rough estimate, it covers an area of at least several hundred square kilometers. Even if we only have four days, it's still a bit overwhelming.
Forget it, let’s not think about this for now. The specific cleaning efficiency will only be known after the cleaning starts. For now, it is better to explore the specific situation of the Demonic Swamp first, and then start to formulate relevant cleaning plans. "
Zhang Yanhang has now cleaned up three areas, and before starting each area, he will make a cleaning plan, which has become a habit.
Of course, in addition to the factors of habit, the main reason is that after formulating a plan, Zhang Yanhang's cleaning efficiency can indeed be improved. After all, having a clear goal is definitely more efficient than wandering around aimlessly to clean up.
This is not a game world. The monsters in the Ashes World are all alive. They will run away if they can't be defeated. Even if they don't run away, they will wander around randomly. If you just go and clear them without a plan, it is easy for some monsters to be defeated. Go back to an area that has been cleaned before, resulting in ineffective cleaning.
In that case, Zhang Yanhang will definitely need to rework, and once he reworks, the cleaning efficiency will naturally drop. Because of this, it is really important to make a plan.
Moreover, in addition to making plans, another main reason why Zhang Yanhang rarely performs ineffective cleaning is because his skill of seeking good luck and avoiding evil has a relatively large scanning range, so he can take precautions at all times. Once he discovers that some monsters are abnormal, he can They will be cleared quickly and in a targeted manner to prevent accidents.
Besides, if you want to achieve 100% completion, you must kill all the monsters in the current area. Even for this reason, you must try to avoid ineffective cleaning.
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing to encounter the situation where you are clearly only missing the last few monsters to achieve 100% completion, but you can't find them. In the end, you have to go through the entire area to get these monsters. It's uncomfortable, and it's enough to make obsessive-compulsive disorder explode on the spot.
Even if the obsessive-compulsive disorder doesn't explode on the spot, the party pursuing treasure chest level strength will definitely explode on the spot.
"I can only say that I hope the area of the Demonized Swamp can be as small as possible. I don't want to stay in the Ashes World for eight days."
Yes, in fact, if Zhang Yanhang failed to clear the entire Demonic Swamp within four days, he still had an alternative, and that was to stay for another four days.
But to be honest, Zhang Yanhang's determination in this regard is not that big. After all, staying in the Ashes World for four days and staying for eight days are two different concepts.
Not to mention anything else, eight days is more than a week. For him who can be promoted once in half a month, it is almost equivalent to passing the exam in one time and passing the exam again in the second year. It is definitely possible. huge gap.
"Since we want to explore the Goblin Plains, let's trigger the time pause first. Then, the question is, what reason should I use to trigger the time pause?" After thinking briefly for a while, Zhang Yanhang finally decided to stick to the previous reason. .
"Choose! What's for midnight snack this morning?" The moment Zhang Yanhang asked the question, time suddenly paused in the Demonic Swamp, and at the same time, a familiar text option box appeared in front of Zhang Yanhang's eyes.
Although he was asking about what to eat for midnight snacks, Zhang Yanhang actually didn’t really want to eat midnight snacks. After all, he had been fasting for a long time.
Speaking of this ability to resist grain, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered another thing, that is, since he is about to be promoted to the third level, he will probably also gain new abilities at the third level.
But because he doesn’t pay close attention to this aspect, he actually doesn’t know what abilities he will gain after being promoted to the third level. If he thinks of this problem in the main world, he can directly use his mobile phone to ask other people, such as the awakened ones in the group. Brother, let’s take the group leader as an example. Even if you ask Zhou Muxi, you will definitely get an accurate answer.
But unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang is now in the Ashes World. He does not have any contact means to contact other awakened people across a whole world. With such an outrageous ability, let alone a second-level awakened person, he even feels that he is a fifth-level awakened person. Even the awakened people of the first level should not be able to do it. After all, awakened people are not able to do everything.
Of course, if you happened to awaken the relevant talents, that would be more likely. However, Zhang Yanhang's multiple choices definitely do not belong to that type of talents. Therefore, he can only say that he is trying his best to obtain some talents after being promoted to the third level. More useful abilities.
"Furthermore, speaking of this third-level issue, in fact, the increase in lifespan after promotion is also a key point. If nothing unexpected happens, the lifespan should be increased by at least several decades.
Although my current life span is an additional two hundred and sixty years, as long as I live normally, I can live to be three hundred years old, but my life span is definitely not too much. "
Regarding life span, Zhang Yanhang believes that most people should maintain an attitude of "the more the better". He also follows the trend in this regard. After all, the longer the life span, the more happy time he will have after retirement, and his current dream is still It is the unpretentious one who quickly improves his strength and retires at the speed of light after reaching the standard.
"Forget it, let's not think about such distant things for now..." Although he felt very happy every time he sold out his retirement life, Zhang Yanhang still turned his attention to the option he had just triggered.
[What’s for dinner tonight? 】
[Option 1: Eat whatever you want (because you are in the Demonized Swamp area of the Ashes World, so you think you should probably spend more time and energy on how to hunt the Demonized Swamp area more efficiently) monster, instead of wasting time here worrying about such meaningless questions as what to eat for supper early this morning.
Therefore, in order to save time, you think it would be better to eat raw food that does not need to be cooked instead of eating cooked food. Anyway, you think that based on your gastrointestinal digestion capacity, there should be nothing that can cause diarrhea. With this in mind, With the thought in mind, you immediately searched carefully for the relevant ingredients in your pocket.
After quickly searching through the corpses of various monsters and related parts in your pocket, you took out the heart of the relatively nutritious 'Chief Goblin Shaman Makabaga' and the lord monster 'Goblin' from your pocket. Chief Nushan's basket made a sashimi platter and he devoured it without hesitation. )】
[Option 2: Demonized Swamp Souvenirs (As for the extremely important question of what to eat for midnight snack this morning, you have done a lot of complicated thinking, but after careful consideration, you finally feel that you should probably adapt to local conditions. According to the magic We took advantage of the special environment in the swamp to find some local specialties that only exist here as a midnight snack this morning.
After simply scanning the surrounding environment using the skills of seeking good luck and avoiding evil, you quickly found a piece of magic steel in the nearby swamp forest that looked somewhat similar to a matsutake mushroom and continued to emit weak energy fluctuations. Umbrella mushroom', your intuition tells you that this thing can be used as an alchemy material. )】
[Option 3: Refusal of late-night snacks starts with me (because you have already been promoted to the second level and thus obtained the ability of 'big grain'), you have not felt the so-called hunger at all, so you feel that you are not very good now. If you need a late-night snack, you think that instead of inefficiently obtaining energy in this way, you might as well save this time for hunting monsters.
Because of this idea, even though there was nothing in your stomach except gastric juice, you immediately started trying to hunt the monsters in the demonized swamp. Not far after you walked out, you A lone first-order three-star ordinary monster 'Demonized Hyena' was discovered by a small river and was successfully killed. )】
