"Although activating the set effect has given me an additional four points in both maximum life value conversion coefficient and maximum energy value conversion coefficient, I'll wait until after I upgrade my tarot card set before checking the growth of my maximum life value and maximum energy value," Zhang Yanhang decided that this would be better.

"The upgrade requirement one for the Divination Tarot Card - Judgement, which includes owning the Divination Tarot Card - Star, Divination Tarot Card - Moon, and the Divination Tarot Card - Sun, are all in my possession now. So, next, it's time to promote the Divination Tarot Cards to dark purple quality." Zhang Yanhang quickly made a related upgrade choice, and as soon as he made his selection, the initial purple glow of the tarot cards instantly became deeper and more obscure.

Looking at the Divination Tarot Card set, now successfully upgraded from a purple-quality six-piece set to a dark purple-quality nine-piece set, Zhang Yanhang picked one to review its attribute list, curious about what the nine-piece set effect had become.

[Description: The Wheel of Fortune is one of the 78 cards of tarot, lying among the 22 cards of the Major Arcana as the 10th. It represents the changes in the fate of the natural world, the cycle and alternation of the seasons, learning and growth, the extension of past and present, and the meaning and elevation of life…]

"After being promoted from the original purple-quality six-piece set to the dark purple-quality nine-piece set, the name of the Divination Tarot Cards has changed yet again. Initially, it was 'Divination Tarot Card - Wheel of Fortune[Inferior]', but now it has turned into 'Divination Tarot Card - Wheel of Fortune[Fragment]', finally shedding the association with forgery and imitations," Zhang Yanhang figured that 'Fragment' probably means that these Divination Tarot Cards are indeed genuine, only that they were discarded as defective during the production process. After all, the cards look intact and don't seem to be missing any parts, and there's no need to collect fragments for assembly, so it must signify a defect.

Of course, considering that this is magical equipment after all, it's also possible that the term 'Fragment' refers to a conceptual incompleteness in the Divination Tarot Cards. That too could be a possibility.

"After the promotion to dark purple quality, the divination tarot card - Wheel of Fortune immediately jumped from a full score of one hundred fifty points for purple quality to a full score of two hundred sixty points for dark purple quality, a leap of one hundred ten points. As expected, set equipment always boasts such outrageous improvements in scores," Zhang Yanhang had no doubts that the Divination Tarot Cards would maintain such an absurd level of growth in the future.

"With this upgrade, the two incomplete upgrade conditions of the original purple-quality six-piece set and the purple-quality three-piece set of tarot cards have been merged into new upgrade conditions. Moreover, all of the Divination Tarot Cards specified in the upgrade conditions have changed to dark purple quality. Thus, if I want to continue upgrading my Divination Tarot Card set, I must collect a complete set of dark purple-quality cards like Divination Tarot Card - Strength, Divination Tarot Card - Justice, Divination Tarot Card - Hanged Man or Divination Tarot Card - Hermit, Divination Tarot Card - Death, Divination Tarot Card - Demon - one of these two dark purple-quality three-piece sets."

As to whether he'll be able to collect 'Strength, Justice, Hanged Man' first or 'Hermit, Death, Demon,' Zhang Yanhang didn't know. He could only take whatever the multiple-choice options gave him; after all, these choices don't usually inform him of which specific tarot card he would get.

"But to upgrade further, which is to promote this dark purple quality tarot card nine-piece set to a light golden quality tarot card twelve-piece set, I really can only wait until the fourth tier. It's only when I clean up regions to hunt lord monsters and open Ashen Treasure Boxes that I can obtain new Divination Tarot Cards again."

As a super set of twenty-two pieces, Zhang Yanhang has just managed to collect nine so far, not even halfway to the total progress, and he feels he still needs to put in effort.

"This time, after the Divination Tarot Card·Wheel of Fortune was promoted to dark purple quality, the maximum energy value limit conversion coefficient it provides had increased by one point, from originally only adding two points to the maximum energy value limit coefficient to now adding three points to the maximum energy value limit coefficient.

Moreover, the set effect also gained enhancement. Originally, the total set effect could only add four points to the maximum energy value limit coefficient but now it has increased by two more points, becoming a total of six points added to the maximum energy value limit coefficient.

In this way, the addition provided by the Divination Tarot Card·Wheel of Fortune itself, along with the set effect, can now offer me a total of nine points of maximum energy value limit conversion coefficient, which is close to the improvement I received from advancing in rank."

Yanhang remembered that when he went from the second tier to third tier, he gained ten points to the maximum energy value limit coefficient, while the addition from the Divination Tarot Card was only one point less than the upgrade in rank.

"Also, aside from the nine-point increase in the maximum energy value limit conversion coefficient, my maximum life value limit conversion coefficient actually also increased by nine points."

After such a substantial improvement, Yanhang estimated that his small goal of increasing life value limit and energy value limit to four times that of the same tier Awakeners should be very easy to achieve.

"It's just a bit unfortunate that last time when I upgraded my set, I got a new set effect called 'Heavenly Destiny Gathering (Deserved),' but this time, there doesn't seem to be any new set effect, just an integration of the previous set effects, turning my five set effects into seven."

Yanhang noticed that this time 'Heavenly Destiny Gathering (Deserved)' increased the Luck attribute value bonus by one point along with the set effect enhancement, making it a two-point Luck attribute value bonus.

"Previously, one point of Luck attribute didn't feel like much, but with two points of Luck value bonus this time, it should theoretically be more noticeable."

However, unfortunately, Yanhang currently had no good way to test this, and still had to wait until later when cleaning up new regions to know the true effect of these two points of Luck attribute value.

Yanhang then successively reviewed the attribute list of the other eight Divination Tarot Cards and as expected, all of them, along with the increase in quality, saw their additional attributes improve.

"Now that the Divination Tarot Card set has been promoted from purple quality to dark purple quality, the total bonuses it provides in terms of power effect, attack power, attack speed, critical strike rate, and skill coverage have all increased again by 15%, from the original 30% to 45%.

The critical strike damage bonus has also increased again by 30%, taking the total bonus from the original 60% to 90%. At the same time, skill cooldown time has been reduced by an additional 7.5%, going from an original cooldown reduction of 15% to now 22.5%.

Before, my dark gold quality full-score Flame God's Crown +2 could just perfectly add a 45% strength effect, and now this mere dark purple quality Divination Tarot Card can also add a 45% strength effect."

So, purely in terms of additional attributes, these nine Dark Purple Quality Tarot Cards are already equivalent to nine Dark Gold Quality pieces of equipment, and they're even nine full-score Dark Gold Quality pieces."

The more he upgraded the Divination Tarot Cards, the more Zhang Yanhang could feel the outrageous level of this super set. It spanned across four qualities—Dark Purple, Light Gold, Golden, and Dark Gold—but the Tarot Cards brazenly bulled their way through these qualities with the Set Effects, and they were even very close to reaching the Orange Quality of equipment.

Zhang Yanhang even suspected that once the Divination Tarot Cards were upgraded to the Light Golden Quality, they could entirely skip the Orange Quality and directly compare to Red Quality equipment.

"A nine-piece set of Divination Tarot Cards is equivalent to nine full-score Dark Gold Quality pieces of equipment that don't take up any equipment slots at all; these amulet-type pieces of equipment are indeed very worth enhancing, no wonder they always reach full-score of the current quality immediately after each upgrade."

After checking the attribute list of the nine-piece Dark Purple Quality Divination Tarot Card set, Zhang Yanhang quickly put them into his Waist Bag to start feeling the enhanced effects.

Zhang Yanhang first tested his Strength. After receiving a 15% Strength Effect Bonus from the Divination Tarot Cards, his Strength should have seen a considerable increase again.

He took out a large amount of Crimson Iron Ore from his Waist Bag and firstly, he tentatively placed 1,050 tons of it onto his right hand. Unexpectedly, he immediately felt the ease diminish greatly so he began to add on the ore one ton at a time, only managing three more tons before feeling the ease disappear completely.

"Originally, my single-handed Strength was 1034 tons, but now it has increased to 1053 tons, growing by almost 16 tons—which is precisely equal to the total Strength during the Second Tier Period.

My total Strength is now nearly sixty-six times that of the Second Tier Period, but I'm not sure if I can achieve such a level of increase in the Fourth Tier Period."

From a rational point of view, Zhang Yanhang felt that the likelihood was not great, because the high rate of his Strength increase this time was mainly due to upgrading his Strength system Talent and obtaining a bunch of new equipment that could enhance his Strength Effect; future situations would differ.

After all, the area opposite Raccoon City's sewer abandoned Transmission Channel was definitely the Physical System Talent, and the majority of equipment would naturally be geared towards Constitution.

"With 1053 tons of Strength, if I were to enhance it slightly with Spiritual Energy, I could immediately increase it to 2106 tons; and if I were to calculate the Strength with both hands, it could reach a terrifying 5265 tons."

Zhang Yanhang had always thought that his regular Strength was a long way from ten thousand tons, but now it seemed that it might not be too far off.

"When I first promoted to the Third Tier, I could barely reach the level of ten thousand tons of Strength after entering the Hundred Feet Dharma Body using the Heavenly Earth Skill, but now I feel that maybe just by simply using a four-piece Giant Transformation set, I could boost my Strength to over ten thousand tons."

The gap in between was undeniably significant, and Zhang Yanhang remembered that when he first advanced to the Third Tier, his single-handed Strength was just 189 tons. So, even if just calculating the increase in single-handed Strength alone, his current Strength was already 5.6 times what it was initially, or nearly six times the amount.

And if we were to calculate the increase in Strength after all sorts of buffed states were maximized, the multiplier could reach double-digit growth. In just a single day, he had already become so much stronger than he was right after his Third Tier promotion, which he found quite astonishing.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang was overall very satisfied with his Strength increase during the Third Tier Period, and honestly, it would be quite difficult not to be satisfied.
