"My Gun Mastery LV.6 and Fighting Mastery LV.6 each provide me with a 210% bonus to ranged and melee attacks, respectively, but my most commonly used ranged attack, the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun, and melee attack, the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist, can both be considered physical attacks.

Therefore, technically speaking, the 120% Physical Attack Power Bonus and 60% Attack Power Bonus offered by the Three-Headed Six-Armed can be stacked on top of those. Although I don't know the correct formula, just stacking them directly already results in a 390% Attack Bonus.

That means, originally a punch from me might have only dealt three times the damage, but now, it's at least five times the damage…"

To this, Zhang Yanhang's comment was still the same, do you love the melee fighter whose normal attacks are quintupled and can also trigger the Double Strike?

"The Three-Headed Six-Armed is really amazing. In terms of strength, it greatly surpasses initial professional skills like Gun Mastery and Fighting Mastery, which are obtained at the First Tier stage.

But that's normal, after all, professional skills will always be stronger as their levels are higher. It's completely unrealistic to obtain ultimate skills with explosive power at the initial stage."

Zhang Yanhang felt that if he were to formulate a plan for Third Tier Skill Level advancement, then the upgrade priority of the recently acquired Three-Headed Six-Armed would definitely surpass Gun Mastery and Fighting Mastery. After all, apart from the significant bonuses, his main goal was also to become the Four-Headed Eight-Armed complete form as soon as possible.

"Moreover, if I manifest the extra limbs, then relying on the 360% full Attack Bonus and 60% Additional Attribute bonus, even just calculating the 210% Attack Bonus provided by Gun Mastery and Fighting Mastery would allow my normal attacks to double again, reaching seven times the damage. It really is quite impressive."

Of course, as powerful as Three-Headed Six-Armed is, Zhang Yanhang still thought that the best professional skill he gained this time was Fatian Xiangdi. After all, the three-minute 'Ultraman transformation' is just too awesome. It's unmatched by all other skills when it comes to burst output, suitable for taking down enemies at critical moments.

Of course, besides for killing blows, using it for counter-kills is also feasible, although the former seems like an abbreviation of the latter, the meaning is definitely completely different. However, he felt that he generally wouldn't encounter the latter situation.

"So, that leads to the question, I should now be truly out of things to do. What should I do next?"

Zhang Yanhang felt that it might be time to leave this deserted island and return to Qin Island City. However, he thought that since the area around him was rich in iron, he could craft a batch of steel plates to fill his Storage Box before leaving, to replace the low-density reinforced concrete he had just abandoned. This way, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of searching for things like lead or tungsten in the future.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang mainly thought that the steel see-saws he had just made could be directly recycled after being divided.

However, the quantity of steel see-saws was obviously insufficient, so Zhang Yanhang once again used his Alchemy to craft a batch of steel plates with a density of 8.0 and stored them in his Storage Box.

As before, he filled four hundred slots, which equates to three thousand two hundred tons of steel plates. He believed that so much steel should be more than enough for short-term use, but for the long term, he might need to continue searching for alternatives.

After sorting out the steel plates, Zhang Yanhang didn't delay any further and directly teleported back to Qin Island City. As for the reinforced concrete left on the deserted island, since it didn't affect the environment, he decided to just leave it there, turning the stone island into one with even more stones.

...

October 29th, Thursday, four days after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World. At 7:15 AM, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Room 505, bedroom.

Lying back in bed, Zhang Yanhang was now pondering whether or not to ask the group owner for some pointers about the Third Tier. Last time, when he asked about Second Tier precautions, all he got was a simple "Be safe," but maybe this time there might be something more.

Unsure, Zhang Yanhang was a bit conflicted about whether to ask about this.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yanhang decided it would be better to ask after all. He had nothing else to do and was quite idle, so chatting might be a good way to pass the time. Following his usual routine, he sent a message to the group owner.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Are you there?"

And as expected, Zhang Yanhang found that the group owner did not reply to him immediately, as normal people generally don't respond to messages at this hour.

Just as Zhang Yanhang was thinking this, he had just put down his phone when he heard a message notification sound. He was surprised; the group owner replied so quickly to his message this time?

But when Zhang Yanhang checked the source of the message on his phone, he found that it was actually Zhao Yalan who had responded to the message he sent half an hour ago.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Are you there?"

Chaotic Eye: "Yes."

Chaotic Eye: "If you're looking for me, I suggest you get to the point. Even civil servants are busy, you know."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Indeed, identifying the right starting point, grasping the entry point, and clarifying the foothold is essential for efficient and practical communication."

Chaotic Eye: "?"

Chaotic Eye: "What are you talking about? I don't quite understand it."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You dare claim to be a civil servant and you can't understand this?"

Chaotic Eye: "…"

Chaotic Eye: "Can you get to the point if you have nothing to do? Why don't you go and run a few laps?"

As someone who had just started working in a government department a week ago, Zhou Muxi really couldn't understand what Zhang Yanhang was trying to say. She woke up early in the morning to find a message from Zhang Yanhang. But after she replied, he sent back something completely nonsensical, which was really confusing for her.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Oh, actually, it's nothing major. I mainly wanted to further inquire about the matters concerning the permanent opening of the Teleportation Channel."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You were the first person I thought of when it came to this subject."

Chaotic Eye: "So that's how it is. You've certainly come to the right person. I've been in charge of permanently opening transmission channels recently. What specifically did you want to ask about?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I'd like you to give me an overview of the permanent teleportation channels."

Chaotic Eye: "An overview? Are you asking about the disaster situations after the channels are permanently opened?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No, I'm not concerned with any disaster situations. I actually want to find a permanent teleportation channel to farm soul points. Do you have any spare channels that you could set up for me?"

As for disaster situations, Zhang Yanhang felt that they were not something an ordinary Awakened like himself needed to concern himself with. Moreover, since the Empire was still stable and had not become chaotic like some parts of Africa, it implied that any disasters, if they existed, were likely not serious, and thus even less worthy of concern.

Chaotic Eye: "Ah, I see. But aren't you already at the peak of Second Tier? You still need soul points at this stage?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I just advanced to Third Tier this early morning, so I wanted to farm a batch of soul points right after my promotion."

Chaotic Eye: "I see. Congratulations on reaching Third Tier. I remember you saying a while back that it would only take a week or two more for you to advance. It seems everything fell into place, but it has taken you seven months since the spiritual qi recovery to just now reach Third Tier, which is a bit slow. You'll need to keep working hard in the future."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "…"

Although Zhang Yanhang remembered mentioning something similar to Zhou Muxi, it was not meant to convey this message.

Chaotic Eye: "What's with the ellipses? In my opinion, you should ditch that family inheritance technique; the Limitless Universe Skill, a proper Imperial cultivation method, holds much more promise. If you could manage to only now reach Third Tier, your family technique definitely played a 'significant' role."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "…"

Zhang Yanhang felt as though he had been inexplicably looked down upon. As for the family inheritance technique, he did indeed tell a similar lie before, but he never expected Zhou Muxi to remember it so vividly.

Considering that Zhou Muxi was a member of the government department, to prevent her from dragging him in for testing, he decided to temporarily refrain from refuting her, to avoid trouble. After all, an Awakener like himself who could advance without collecting a cultivation technique beforehand was essentially unregistered in their eyes.

Chaotic Eye: "Are you not convinced? Let me tell you, being a Sea Seal is useless in this case. Look at me; I practice the Limitless Universe Skill and I'm nearly at Peak Third Tier, about to promote to Fourth Tier."

Though Zhou Muxi had just joined the government department, she had already developed a sense of responsibility. She felt frustrated with hardliners like Zhang Yanhang who liked to practice strange techniques and couldn't understand why they would choose to cultivate such techniques that were not only weak but also slow to progress.

She felt it was her duty to correct Zhang Yanhang's erroneous beliefs, even though his strength at Second Tier seemed to be higher than hers at that time.

But she believed it was mainly because Zhang Yanhang had too many equipment bonuses, which had nothing to do with the cultivation techniques.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I also think the Limitless Universe Skill is quite good. But let's focus on the matter at hand. Does your department have any spare permanent teleportation channels?"

Chaotic Eye: "Alright, to business it is. When were you planning to clear a permanent teleportation channel? I'll need to check the schedule."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Can it be scheduled? I always thought you cleared the channels as soon as you found them…"

Chaotic Eye: "Of course, it can be scheduled. As for clearing channels as soon as they're permanently open, you're not wrong. However, we usually monitor and include in our database all the channels surrounding Qin Island City, and there are Power Users who foresee them."

Chaotic Eye: "So, when we actually clear a permanent teleportation channel, we usually find a location in advance and wait, rather than rushing over after the channel opens."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I see. It's no wonder the area around Qin Island City has always been stable; it's because you can foresee the openings..."

Zhang Yanhang had to admit, the government department was indeed formidable, which, of course, made clearing the teleportation channels more convenient for him.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I'm looking to clear a permanent teleportation channel today.

Chaotic Eye: "Today?"

Chaotic Eye: "Then I have to say you're out of luck. The most recent Third Tier channel was cleared at four-thirty this morning. The next Third Tier channel won't open until tomorrow. But if you're in a hurry, there's no shortage of First and Second Tier channels that can be cleared."

Chaotic Eye: "Although in the Ashen World, a Third Tier Awakened cannot enter a First Tier Area, that limitation doesn't apply when the monsters from a First Tier Area leave the Ashen World and enter our Main World; they can be killed without restriction by any tier."

Chaotic Eye: "Furthermore, due to the higher the rank, the fewer the channels, the permanent clearing of First and Second Tier transportation channels has always required many people. If you're willing, I can file for you in the database right now and directly approve this application using my authority."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "…"

Zhang Yanhang had initially thought that there would be an abundance of permanent teleportation channels, but it seemed the reality was different from his expectations, or perhaps the majority was concentrated in the low-tier First and Second Tier areas, with a significant reduction starting from Third Tier.

After realizing this, Zhang Yanhang understood why the government department was expanding recruitment at schools and even needed First and Second Tier Awakened – presumably to clear the numerous First and Second Tier permanent teleportation channels.

Zhang Yanhang could fully comprehend the abundance of First and Second Tier channels, considering the two channels he encountered – the Raccoon City channel and the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu channel – were both Second Tier.

From this, it was evident that Second Tier channels were indeed plentiful, and First Tier channels would undoubtedly be even more so.

Chaotic Eye: "And if you clean up First or Second Tier channels, it could be a good opportunity for you to consolidate your strength, especially since you've just advanced to Third Tier."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "If I consolidate any further, I might just end up at Peak Third Tier..."
