After placing the newly opened Blue quality Crimson Iron Teeth in the Alchemy Array, Zhang Yanhang adeptly completed the transformation and directly stuffed the freshly forged Crimson Iron Shark Teeth into his mouth.

Having equipped the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, Zhang Yanhang immediately reopened his attribute list to start examining it.

[Strength: 75 (+3[-13])]

[Agility: 75 (+3[-3])]

[Constitution: 75 (+3[-3])]

[Intelligence: 75 (+3[-3])]

[Charm: 75 (+33[-19])]

"With the help of that pair of Blue quality Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, I have gained a little more in my Charm attribute bonus. Counting that bonus, my total Charm attribute value has now reached 94 points, but unfortunately, due to rank limitations, the excess nineteen points have all overflowed."

Because he had gained another point from the equipment's Charm attribute bonus, the proportion of equipment bonuses in Zhang Yanhang's Charm attribute value had once again become higher. It was originally about 34%, but this time it has increased to 35%, growing by 1%, but overall it was still considered quite healthy.

"Alas, although the current 35% ratio looks high, after my promotion in rank, the proportion of equipment bonuses in my Charm attribute value could easily drop to a single digit... Then my Charm attribute value is definitely going to be excessively healthy."

Thinking of this made Zhang Yanhang feel a bit uncomfortable. After all, these equipment bonuses were his hard-earned wealth from tirelessly hunting monsters. He really did not want to become that healthy, because sometimes being too healthy couldn't bring happiness; on the contrary, a bit of decadence could make life more comfortable, like ordering late-night takeout when hungry.

"But as the saying goes, old things must go before new things can come. I can only hope to obtain stronger new equipment in the future."

Considering that Zhang Yanhang's Second Tier discarded White Ten-piece Set and Green Ten-piece Set had only just replaced the positions left by the Anti-Poison Mask (Red Marrow Ghost Face) and the Anti-riot Helmet (Flame God's Crown), it would surely be a long-term goal that demanded a lot of effort, and there's no use in rushing.

"Compared to the nearly perfect score Purple quality Crimson Iron Heart +6, even the barely fused Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +4 have only reached a medium score within the Purple quality, far from the Dark Purple quality.

Based on the experience with the Crimson Iron Heart and the Crimson Iron Ring, I estimate that it would also require an upgrade to +6 to approach a full score and then rely on piecing together eight pieces of Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +6 to attempt to break through the limit and fuse a Dark Purple quality Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +7."

But unfortunately, something like Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +7 was indeed utterly unrealistic for Zhang Yanhang; after all, let alone the prerequisite +6, he couldn't even manage to fuse an extra +4.

Now, among his four mouths, only the original one had a Purple Quality Crimson Iron Shark Teeth +4 equipped, while the other three were only using Blue quality un-fused Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, with no chance whatsoever of a breakthrough to Dark Purple Quality to maintain for the next rank.

After dealing with the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth issue, Zhang Yanhang quickly moved on to check his other equipment. However, the equipment from the Small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu had already been accounted for, so next up were the items from the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano.

The first was a Dark Purple Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask obtained from a Drop treasure box of the Crimson Iron Destruction Ant, but since the treasure box Zhang Yanhang opened was only from the third-prize pool of Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano's Lucky Slot Machine, there were exceptionally few items, only one Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask in total.

As for the Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask, Zhang Yanhang previously had sixty-three Ordinary Red Marrow Ghost Masks in his Waist Bag, and with this one, there were sixty-four spare ones in total, enough to fuse into a Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +6 with full score.

However, Zhang Yanhang currently had Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks +7 on all four of his heads, fused through power limit breakthroughs, and had no immediate need for a Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +6, so he didn't bother with the fusion and directly put the Ghost Mask into his Waist Bag.

The second piece of equipment was the Dark Purple Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw, also a single item due to drop rates, from the Drop treasure box of the Crimson Iron Flame Ant.

Regarding the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw, Zhang Yanhang's Waist Bag previously contained one Ordinary Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw, one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +2, one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +3, and one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +4. If he could gather three more Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws, he could fuse a new Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +2, then go all the way up, and directly fuse a Light Golden Quality full-score Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +5.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang only obtained one Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw this time, barely enough to fuse with the spare one into a new Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +1, still one short of fusing a Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +5.

Moreover, the key point was that Zhang Yanhang's eight hands were already fully equipped with Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws +6, achieved through limit-breaking fusion, so, like the previous Ghost Masks, he also had no immediate need for a Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw +5. Therefore, he decided not to fuse for now and would wait until he had gathered enough to do so.

Although he didn't know when he would return to the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano next time, and he was certain to suffer a drop in treasure box drop rate due to Rank Penalty, luckily, Zhang Yanhang had no particular need in this area, and there was no need to worry.

After checking the Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks and Ghost Claws, Zhang Yanhang continued to tally the Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor that came from the Drop treasure box of the Crimson Iron Flame Demon Ant. This time, he opened a total of three Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armors.

Zhang Yanhang had previously stored eighty-seven Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armors in his Waist Bag, and with these three, the total was now ninety pieces. However, the situation with the Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor was similar to that of the Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw and Ghost Mask.

Zhang Yanhang's eight arms were already all equipped with Dark Gold Quality Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor +5, and to break the limit, he would need 256 pieces of Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor.

Clearly, the spare ninety pieces he now had were nowhere near enough to support such an extensive fusion requirement.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang quickly proceeded to pack away the three Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armors he had just opened into his Waist Bag, as there was no real worth in fusing them. Perhaps he could manage to fuse a few additional Dark Gold Quality Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armors +5, but there was no real point, as he only had eight arms, unless one day he transformed into having twelve arms and could equip these extra pieces.

"Sigh, I suddenly really envy the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. If I could have a thousand arms, that would be a thousand extra equipment slots."

Alright, Zhang Yanhang also knew that if he really grew a thousand hands, his personal appearance would certainly become quite unsightly. Therefore, he wasn't greedy; attaining the form of a Hundred-Armed Giant would suffice.

"Who knows if there's any equipment or Talent or something that could help me grow a few extra arms..."

Of course, aside from that, Zhang Yanhang could more pragmatically hope for the promotion to Three-Headed Six-Armed status. Besides, it was indeed more reliable as there was no guarantee he would encounter equipment that allowed him to grow extra arms in his lifetime.

"Speaking of which, I remember I saw a Talent that could cause malignant deformations in the Demonized Swamp that had a side effect of growing extra limbs, like an additional hand on the chest or something. If I could find a corresponding benign mutation Talent, I might really be able to grow some extra hands."

Overall, Zhang Yanhang felt that Talents had an inherent advantage in this regard, indeed more warranting expectation than equipment and the like.

After taking inventory of the Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask, Crimson Marrow Ghost Claw, and Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor, Zhang Yanhang began to check the Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers he had obtained from the Treasure boxes dropped by the Crimson Iron Hell Ant.

Without a doubt, compared to the previous Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask, Crimson Marrow Ghost Claws, and Crimson Marrow Flame Demon Armor, the Crimson Marrow Hell Finger was more useful to Zhang Yanhang. After all, he hadn't completely collected all of them and they still had value for further Fusion.

This time, Zhang Yanhang had obtained three Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers. Before that, he had two Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +4s, one Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +3, one Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +2, and one ordinary Crimson Marrow Hell Finger.

So theoretically, he needed just one more ordinary Crimson Marrow Hell Finger to carry out a Fusion of a new Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5 and a new Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +4 to fill the gaps.

Zhang Yanhang removed the two Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +4s he wore on his fingers and placed them in the Alchemy Array. Then, he took out the rest of the Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers from his Waist Bag and put them in the Alchemy Array, finally picking one of the three newly obtained Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers at random to put in the Alchemy Array and immediately began the Fusion using Alchemy to operate the Array.

Since it wasn't a case of breaking through a limit, but a regular Fusion, and since the number of items to fuse wasn't high, he could finish each round quickly, so Zhang Yanhang swiftly completed the Fusion, successfully creating a brand-new Dark Gold Quality Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5 as well as another Dark Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +4.

Looking at the +5 Crimson Marrow Hell Finger flashing with a dark golden light before his eyes, Zhang Yanhang briefly checked its Attribute list.

[Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5]

[Quality: Dark Gold]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 78/78]

[Defensive power: 55]

[Additional Attributes: Armor Penetration Effect +10%.]

[Usage requirements: Agility 65 points.]

[Score: 510 (Dark Gold Items score 441 to 530.)]

[Introduction: Perhaps due to the outstanding effect of special Hormones, even the Hormone residues separated from them possess certain beauty effects which have widely spread the fame of the Nameless Blacksmith's labyrinth among female groups, significantly increasing its popularity. One day, the labyrinth welcomed a special guest - Princess of the Kingdom, Cecilia Josephine...]

"Indeed it's identical to the previous Dark Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5 I fused."

Zhang Yanhang nodded in satisfaction, then immediately slipped the new Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5 and the other Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +4 onto his twenty vacant fingers.

"I previously had two Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers +5 and two +4s on my eight hands, now it's three +5s and one +4. The overall change isn't all that significant.

Since the +4s provide an 8.8% increase to the Armor Penetration Effect, this Fusion has actually only increased my Armor Penetration Effect by 1.2%."

Before this, Zhang Yanhang had a total of 42.6% Armor Penetration Effect, including the 5% gained from the Light Golden Quality Achievement [Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano Annihilation Battle] he got from the Achievement Vending Machine. Now it had risen to 43.8%.

"It's frustrating. If only I could fuse a fourth Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5, then I could increase the Armor Penetration Effect by an additional 1.2%, reaching a round figure of 45%. But unfortunately, I simply don't have enough Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers in my possession…"

Following that Fusion, Zhang Yanhang only had those two unused ordinary Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers left, still needing fourteen more to create another new Crimson Marrow Hell Finger +5 and replace all his eight hands' furnishings with Dark Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers +5.

But unfortunately, the number of Crimson Iron Hell Ants in the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano was insufficient.

"To gather fourteen Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers, even if I could get three from the jackpot every time, it would still take five days of jackpot clearing. Not to mention the drop in the Treasure box drop rate later due to Rank penalty; it isn't even certain if the twenty Flame Demon Ants from the Lucky Slot Machine's third prize jackpot would drop one treasure box or not."

Because the shortfall was quite large, Zhang Yanhang inevitably adopted a pessimistic attitude toward collecting these fourteen Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers. After all, it wasn't a fault of his will; he indeed wanted to collect them but simply didn't have enough Crimson Iron Hell Ants to kill for it.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang could only regretfully put the two superfluous Crimson Marrow Hell Fingers into his Waist Bag and proceeded to take inventory of the last type of Equipment obtained from the third-prize jackpot pool of the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano's Lucky Slot Machine - the Flame God's Crown, which was already Golden Quality from its initial state, obtained from the Treasure boxes of Ant Princes.
