"After my Death Wave skill upgraded to Origin LV.6, its basic coverage range reached 1920 meters, which was previously only 45% skill coverage range bonus, making it 2784 meters after the bonus.
And now, with an additional 15% skill coverage range bonus, reaching a 60% skill coverage range bonus, the Death Wave's coverage range has increased to 3072 meters, equivalent to a total increase of 288 meters, which is about an additional tenth of the coverage range."
Although the coverage range indeed only increased by about one-tenth, the coverage area increased significantly more.
Originally, a single Death Wave from Zhang Yanhang could only cover an area of 6.1 square kilometers, but now it can cover an area of 7.4 square kilometers, an increase of 1.3 square kilometers, which is nearly a quarter increase.
"Because the Talent Immortal Life of XXX level can't be further improved, there's been no increase in the stamina limit recently, so the number of Death Wave uses still remains around 7400 times. Previously, with the cooperation of Life Drain, I could cover an area of about 58682 square kilometers consecutively with Death Wave.
And now, it has reached a new height. Even without the assistance of Life Drain, I can cover an area of 54760 square kilometers in one go.
And if you include the 30% bonus from Life Drain, I can cover an area of 71188 square kilometers in one go, which is an increase of 12506 square kilometers compared to before."
The whole Umbrella Biochemical Test Field is only 40,000 square kilometers, so now if Zhang Yanhang decides to exhaust an entire stamina gauge, he can clear 1.75 Umbrella Biochemical Test Fields.
It must be said that with a sufficient stamina limit, Death Wave indeed does not disappoint Zhang Yanhang in this regard.
"The total area of Qin Island City is 12,000 square kilometers. Previously, I could only clear less than five Qin Island Cities, but now I can clear six Qin Island Cities.
Moreover, the previous small target of 66,000 square kilometers of Ningxia has been successfully surpassed. As for the smallest one with only 34,000 square kilometers like Hainan, I can now clear two at once—indeed, a significant growth."
If you ask what Zhang Yanhang's next small target is, naturally it would be the 102,000 square kilometers of Zhejiang. Currently, it's actually not too far off, only about 30,000 square kilometers short, so catching up shouldn't be too difficult.
At the same time, if he can achieve the small target of Zhejiang, then for those like South Korea with 100,000 square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang can naturally clear it in one go as well.
But for now, Zhang Yanhang can only clear seven-tenths of South Korea in one go, so he must work hard.
"Besides the coverage range of Death Wave, my Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill's coverage range has also similarly grown. Originally, after a 45% bonus, the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill had a coverage range of 32480 meters.
And now, after a 15% increase in skill coverage range bonus, it increased directly to 35840 meters, meaning the coverage range increased by 3360 meters compared to before, which is also about a tenth of an increase."
Similarly, with Death Wave, although the coverage area indeed only increased by a tenth, the coverage area for Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil similarly increased by nearly a quarter.
Originally, Zhang Yanhang's Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil covered an area of only 829 square kilometers, but now it has finally broken the 1000 square kilometers barrier, reaching 1009 square kilometers, with an increase of 180 square kilometers from before.
"The total of the three districts within the city plus the Lao Mountain District is 588 square kilometers, which I can already scan. However, if you add the neighboring Chengyang District, that totals to 1120 square kilometers.
This small target, although I was far from it before, is finally about to be completed, with only 111 square kilometers remaining, estimated to be completed soon with a little further increase."
Of course, the three districts within the city, plus Lao Mountain District and Chengyang District, are less than a tenth of Qin Island City's total area. Zhang Yanhang's ultimate goal is to scan the entire Qin Island City.
However, for now, this goal is still a bit out of reach, so he uses places like Chengyang District as targets for the initial stages. After all, 12,000 square kilometers is still quite large for the current Zhang Yanhang, who can only fill up half of its fraction.
"But although Qin Island City is large, when placed in the Ashen World, I can already scan 25 Raccoon Cities, 25 small Crimson Iron Ant Nests Dalagu, 9 Goblin Plains, 2.5 Demonized Swamps, and 1.5 large Crimson Iron Ant Nests Tarano at the same time."
One can say that if Zhang Yanhang had such a scope of scanning range before and went to clear areas, he would be like having a full map vision cheat, vastly improving the efficiency of hunting.
Compared to skill coverage range, it is the energy value recovery speed that can more efficiently aid Zhang Yanhang in increasing power. This time, due to a recent merger, the Divination Tarot Card Set has provided a total of 120% energy value recovery speed boost to Zhang Yanhang.
Before this, the small nuclear fusion reactor had just helped Zhang Yanhang increase the energy value recovery speed by 180%, but clearly, Zhang Yanhang is not satisfied with that, as he always adheres to the principle of the more the better.
To check just how much this 120% energy value recovery speed increase has improved absorption efficiency, Zhang Yanhang immediately reopened the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill effect to take a look.
[Heaven and Earth Devourer·Original LV.6 (Passive/Active)]
[Passive effect: Artifact (benefit) usage (consumption) effect +60%.]
[Active effect: After skill activation, Heavenly Destiny Master can swallow matter and energy through the mouth entrance into the stomach space and gain size or recover energy value by digesting materials in the stomach space, no cooldown, small stamina consumption.
Current stomach space volume is 1200×1200×1200=17,2800,0000 cubic meters.
Current stomach space absorption efficiency is 1243 (+266) [energy value recovery speed]×6%=75 points (+16 points) energy value/second.]
......
"Originally, my energy value recovery speed was only 977 points, that is, restoring 977 energy points per hour. But now, it's increased to 1243 points per hour, an additional 266 points per hour in recovery speed."
After a 6% conversion, Zhang Yanhang's energy recovery speed of 1243 points has become an absorption efficiency of 75 energy points per second in the Stomach Space. Compared to the previous efficiency of just 59 points, it has increased by another 16 points.
Meanwhile, since Zhang Yanhang is currently absorbing monster corpses at 1.5 times the efficiency, his actual energy recovery speed per second has reached an astonishing 113 points.
"After installing the small nuclear fusion reactor, the energy absorption efficiency reached 89 points per second. I said then that the breakthrough to the 100-point mark wasn't far away, and now it's clear that we've smoothly achieved that barrier without any trouble."
Zhang Yanhang plans to set the next small goal at 200 points. Since reaching it in the Fourth Tier is impossible, he might as well set it high. Though it seems quite high now, in the Fifth Tier, as long as he can upgrade the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill, it should be easily achievable.
"With an energy recovery efficiency of 113 points per second, I can restore 6780 energy points in just one minute, and up to 406800 points in an hour."
At the same time, Zhang Yanhang's energy recovery speed for the energy value limit remains marked at 222 points, meaning it restores 222 energy points per hour.
Currently, the actual recovery speed with Zhang Yanhang's Heaven and Earth Devourer skill has reached 1832 times the standard recovery speed. This is undoubtedly an impressive multiplication rate, an increase of 389 times compared to the previous 1443 times.
"In fact, calculating the total energy restored over 24 hours, it has reached a staggering 9763200 points of energy, just over three hundred thousand points away from ten million."
With the current trend, Zhang Yanhang estimates that it won't be long before he easily surpasses the iconic milestone of ten million energy points.
"As a Fourth Tier multiple choice, my energy value is worth five hundred thousand. So, if I do nothing all day and use all my energy for choices, I could 'normally' earn 48816,0000,0000 yuan a day, which is 48816 billion yuan, nearly five trillion."
In all honesty, five trillion isn't a lot for Zhang Yanhang, considering it's only equivalent to two and a half Hengda. If converted to dollars, it's much less, only 678 billion, roughly just a third of the two trillion dollars Old B Deng's nuclear-powered currency printing press could release, which isn't much.
Okay, in a way, that's quite a lot, considering it's just a day's work. Even if the nuclear power printing machine smoked, it couldn't keep up with Zhang Yanhang's printing speed.
Moreover, he's printing actual money, or at least it's real money in the causal sense. The principle is like the printing press hasn't even powered on, yet a deposit suddenly appears in the computer database, directly transferring to Zhang Yanhang's account.
Of course, the actual process is undoubtedly more rigorous. After all, the Multiple Choice directly modifies reality, creating a batch of money from thin air and depositing it into his account. How could it be considered counterfeit when it's truly genuine? It's even more real than real money.
"With my current energy value limit of 14131 points, originally it took about two and a half minutes to refill one gauge of energy. Now, it only takes two minutes to refill one, cutting half a minute off the time again."
With this efficiency continuous elevation, Zhang Yanhang is confident that reducing the time to restore a gauge of energy to less than a minute won't be challenging.
Of course, compared to recovering energy gauges, Zhang Yanhang is more concerned with the speed of his physical growth.
"Based on my experience, after gaining another 120% energy recovery speed bonus, although it originally took two minutes to grow one centimeter in body size, now it might only take one and a half minutes, shaving off another half minute, approximately increasing to 1.3 times the original growth efficiency."
Specifically, Zhang Yanhang originally grew about 720 centimeters in body size every 24 hours. Now, he can grow 960 centimeters in that time, raising daily growth efficiency by 240 centimeters.
Indeed, an additional 240 centimeters again, despite the drop in the growth rate multiplier. This mainly happens because the growth efficiency's compression leads to quicker enhancement, so cutting half a minute now equals the minute saved previously in efficiency.
So, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Yanhang's growth efficiency should soon reach a rather exaggerated degree, with even dozens of meters a day not being impossible. Especially since the Swallowing Heaven and Earth Skill will continue to rise.
"An ordinary bus is just about ten meters in length, so I'm essentially growing a bus length a day, or the height of 3.5 floors."
Zhang Yanhang's original small goal was using the Divination Tarot Card to exceed eight meters in growth efficiency, but unexpectedly it surged close to ten meters, overwhelmingly surpassing his expectations.
"The critical thing is that perhaps 9.6 meters isn't my current Fourth Tier upper limit and it may still grow further."
Continuing this trend, Zhang Yanhang estimates he could grow over ten meters in height daily, while currently, he's only twelve meters tall. The growth efficiency has truly skyrocketed.
If Zhang Yanhang were to suddenly take a month off, even at the current efficiency, he would have an absurd height of three hundred meters, achieving at least ten thousand meters in size with the support of the Heavenly Earth Skill.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang truly has no time to rest. He believes proceeding with rank promotion is more crucial for him.
Although physical size is important, rank is more so. If he only focused on enlarging his size, enhancing mainly strength but not speed, wouldn't that make him merely a reckless brute?
Or perhaps a 'strong fool.'
Then someone might defeat him using the ancestral method of an arm chop suited for giants.
Compared to mere strength growth, Zhang Yanhang prefers double-A in strength and speed. Only the combination of strength and speed is ideal, for just powerful strikes can't reach the opponent; accurate and fierce hits align with Zhang Yanhang's consistent combat style.
