Chapter 724: Hunting Efficiency Is Greatly Improved!
Remember [new] in one second! "So, I choose option one, the first-order, one-star ordinary monster Hematite Worker Ant."
After briefly checking the unchanged prize pool list, Zhang Yanhang quickly made his final choice. He felt that the monsters in the third prize pool of the Small Hematite Ant Nest Daragu Lucky Slot Machine could just help him test the third level in advance. level punishment.

…
About five minutes later, Zhang Yanhang finally drained the entire prize pool and used a death wave to take away all the one hundred red iron ants in the prize pool.
In the past, he felt that five minutes was actually not bad, but now he didn't know whether it was because of his promotion. He began to feel that five minutes was a bit long, but unfortunately, even if he thought it was slow, there was no way to increase the speed. After all, the world of Ashes was too slow. It is impossible to adjust the rules for him alone, we can only make do with it.
"There are a total of forty hematite worker ants, twenty-five hematite flying ants, twenty-five hematite soldier ants, and nine hematite breeding ants in the third prize pool of the lucky slot machine in Daragu, the small hematite ant nest. As well as a red iron ant king, I don’t know how many dropped treasure chests will be refreshed in the end.”
Zhang Yanhang stood there and waited for a moment. After a few seconds, a white treasure box and two green treasure boxes quietly appeared on top of the corpses of red iron ants on the ground.
"Only three? No, should I say there are three?"
Zhang Yanhang originally thought that after he was promoted to the third level, the drop rate for killing first-level monsters might be directly reduced to fifty monsters. In the best case, it would be doubled, and dropped to forty monsters. Obtained a dropped treasure chest, but now it seems that it may be a little better than the best case scenario.
But it is indeed just a little better. It is definitely incomparable to the previous one where he could get a dropped treasure box by killing twenty monsters. Otherwise, he shouldn't have killed forty red iron worker ants. I only got one white quality dropped treasure chest, but I should have gotten two dropped treasure chests.
Since there are only 25 Red Iron Flying Ants and Red Iron Soldier Ants that also dropped treasure chests, Zhang Yanhang estimates that the drop rate for killing first-level monsters should be within the range of 20 to 40. , as for the specific number, we can only know it when a large-scale cleanup of red iron worker ants is carried out later.
After quickly picking up the three fallen treasure chests, Zhang Yanhang did not stay in place too much, but quickly walked out of the C-shaped passage and headed towards the location of the other red iron worker ant that had just dropped the treasure chest.
Just now, in order not to waste the physical energy of the death wave, he covered the surrounding one kilometer area. Although he only killed forty or fifty red iron worker ants, fortunately, one of the red iron worker ants dropped a There was a white treasure box, and he was going to pick it up.
Although the fallen treasure chest was hundreds of meters away from Zhang Yanhang and was on the edge of the death wave coverage, Zhang Yanhang still moved across it in just a few seconds because his current moving speed was as high as twice the speed of sound. After going through many detours, I picked up this white quality dropped treasure box and put it directly into my pocket.
After picking up the dropped treasure box, Zhang Yanhang continued to run forward for a while, and then released the death wave skill again after finding the right location.
As a circle of transparent invisible fluctuations began to spread rapidly around his body, his ears immediately heard intensive kill notification sounds again.
However, after getting used to the thousands of killing prompts that sounded at the same time when clearing the permanent teleportation channel, he is now used to the low frequency of only a few dozen per second. The kill notification sound has no response at all.

…
After releasing the death wave, Zhang Yanhang habitually stood there and continued to wait. Then, he soon felt that something was wrong, or that it was too inefficient.
"Since my current movement speed has reached twice the speed of sound, and the death wave itself does not require any operation, then why don't I run and release it? Anyway, the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu only needs Forty waves of death can be cleared..."
Zhang Yanhang feels that his idea is indeed reasonable. After all, the dropped treasure chests that originally took him a few seconds to refresh would have to wait, but it is actually not bad. Anyway, it is definitely better than killing them all and then coming back to pick them up alone. A trip to the treasure chest is much more efficient.
But with the increase in his movement speed, if he continues to implement the old mode, the efficiency may not be very high.
"But it's reasonable, but it feels like it would be easy to miss a treasure chest when picking up a treasure chest in a place like Daragu, a small red iron ant nest, where the range of perception is limited."
After Zhang Yanhang thought about it carefully, he felt that this shortcoming could be solved by pausing time.
"In that case, there's nothing more to say. Let's just start cleaning up."
Although the treasure box dropped had been refreshed during Zhang Yanhang's thinking process, he was not in a hurry to pick up the treasure box, but rushed directly in the direction where the red iron ants were still there further ahead.
The reason why Zhang Yanhang came up with the idea of waiting until he was done killing and then coming back to pick up the treasure chest was mainly related to the complex environment of Daragu, the small hematite ant nest.
Many times, although the treasure chest is dropped only a few hundred meters away in a straight line, there may be seven or eight walls and a lot of branch roads in the middle. Therefore, wait until all the treasure chests are refreshed and then follow the various paths. It might indeed be easier to pick it up along the main road.
…………
On the fourth day after October 2nd, it was also the first day that Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashes World. At 4:15 in the afternoon, the Ashes World, the hematite veins, the small hematite ant nest Daragu, and a body covered with flesh and blood stumps And a T-shaped channel of red viscous body fluid.

…
After killing the last batch of hematite worker ants and hematite flying ants in the small hematite ant nest Daragu, Zhang Yanhang did not rush to pay attention to the dropped treasure chest, but first took a look at the time on his watch.
"I didn't expect that it was only 4:15 when I completely cleaned up the entire small hematite ant nest Daragu? Doesn't that mean that it only took me ten minutes to clean up the entire small hematite ant nest Daragu? The red iron ants in it?"
Zhang Yanhang remembered that the last time he came to clean the small red iron ant nest Daragu, it seemed that it took seven and a half hours, which was almost 450 minutes.
But this time, it didn't even reach a fraction of the previous one. It only took ten minutes to completely resolve the battle. The efficiency could be said to have increased by as much as forty-five times. It was like entering a brand new world.
"If we calculate the efficiency, it is even several times faster than my previous fastest time. In the past, it was calculated in terms of how many minutes it took to clean one square kilometer. Now it is the other way around, in terms of how many minutes it takes to clean one square kilometer. Calculated in square kilometers.
If it takes only ten minutes to clear an area of forty square kilometers, it means cleaning an area of four square kilometers in one minute, and it only takes fifteen seconds to clear one square kilometer. "
Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he were in the plain area, he would definitely not be able to take such a long time, but unfortunately, this is the small hematite ant nest Dalagu. There are too many forked roads, branches and ubiquitous hematite original stone walls, and it is difficult to get around. The road wasted most of his time.
"When I only used Death Wave to hunt monsters, it only took me ten minutes to clear out the 1,900 red iron ants in the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu, but there were only 100 monsters in each of them. The third prize pool of the lucky slot machine still takes five minutes.”
After Zhang Yanhang thought about it for a moment, he immediately became even more disgusted with the 'long' drawing time of the lucky slot machine, but in the long run, it is indeed worth drawing. After all, there are still a hundred monsters.
For him, the key issue has never been the hunting efficiency, but the density and number of monsters. If the density and number of monsters meet the standards, he has countless ways to improve his hunting efficiency.
But unfortunately, most of the time, the monsters in the area are not that sufficient under his high-intensity hunting, and even the type of permanent teleportation channel that he encountered before directly increased the number of monsters ten times in front of him. It's still not very interesting, and I finished it in an hour.
"But although it did take only ten minutes to completely resolve the battle, it only solved the combat part. Now after hunting all the red iron ants, we need to pick up the treasure chest again."
As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he bent down and picked up a dropped treasure box from a red iron flying ant. After he finished thinking just now, the dropped treasure box happened to be refreshed.
"Also, the efficiency of the combat part is actually lower than I thought."
Zhang Yanhang initially thought that in the best case, he might be able to clean out the entire small hematite ant nest Daragu in five or six minutes, and in the worst case, it would only take him seven or eight minutes to clean out the entire hematite ant nest. Nest, but I didn’t expect it to take ten minutes in the end. I can only say that it was all due to the complicated road conditions.
And, in addition, the number of times the death wave was used was more than Zhang Yanhang had previously expected.
He originally thought that he could clear out the entire small hematite ant nest Daragu at most forty times, but because the shape of the small hematite ant nest Daragu was irregular and had many edges and corners, he ended up using a total of It took forty-three times to clean out the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu. Counting the first two times, a total of forty-five death waves were used.
But considering the time saved, this part of the physical exertion can only be said to be okay, and it is still quite profitable.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that although he only uses death wave to hunt monsters in the whole process, occasionally a small number of monsters will inevitably be missed. At this time, it is obviously a loss to use death wave, so he only Being able to make a separate detour to manually hunt and check for deficiencies was one of the main reasons why it took ten minutes in total.
But Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he went back alone to pick up a treasure chest this time, it would definitely not take him so long.
After briefly summarizing the results and lessons learned from the first separate hunting, Zhang Yanhang quickly triggered the time pause. He first searched for the location of each dropped treasure box in the time pause state, and then Go around this T-shaped fork in the road and start looking for the dropped treasure chest just now.
However, because the time pause was the reason for the time pause, he still had time to count the number of treasure boxes dropped by the almost 1,900 monsters just now. There were probably more than sixty in total, which was quite good. .
…………
On the fourth day after October 2nd, it was also the first day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashes World. At 4:20 in the afternoon, the Ashes World, the hematite veins, the small hematite ant nest Daragu, and the C-shaped passage.
After spending almost five minutes to collect all the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang walked all the way back to the initial C-shaped passage.
"Simply picking up treasure boxes is indeed much faster than cleaning the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu. In this way, it actually took me a total of fifteen minutes to clean the entire small red iron ant nest Daragu.
Although it was longer than I expected at the beginning, it was definitely much better than the seven and a half hours last time I came here, probably a thirty-fold difference. "
Although Zhang Yanhang was a little disgusted with this efficiency when it came to the small red iron ant nest Dalagu, but if he could achieve this efficiency when cleaning new areas in the future, he would still be very happy, okay, not too much That's reality.
After all, it took him the third time to clean up the small hematite ant nest Daragudu and to achieve this efficiency with the promotion of rank. It is still impossible for the new area to achieve this level of efficiency in a while. Others Not to mention, at least the time spent on picking up the treasure chest will definitely be much higher than that of the small red iron ant nest Daragu.
