"Previously, my Life Value Limit was only 3.86 times that of a Same Tier Awakened, but now it has increased to 4.46 times, an additional 0.6 times increase. I finally managed to achieve the small goal of reaching four times the Life Value Limit of a Same Tier Awakened before my promotion, which was no easy feat."

Although he had achieved the four times goal, Zhang Yanhang had no plans to set another small goal, as he knew very well that it would definitely be unattainable.

After he had finished checking his Life Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang quickly moved on to open and check his Shield Value Limit.

[Shield Value: 35140/35140 (Life Value Limit × 350%, recovery rate: 20% per second.)]

"Relying on the nine-point Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient provided by the Dark Purple Quality Divination Tarot Card Set, my Shield Value Limit also increased from the original 30415 points to 35140 points, a one-time increase of 4725 points to the Shield Value Limit—almost matching the increase I received from my last rank promotion."

Zhang Yanhang recalled that during his rank promotion, he had an increase of 4973 points in his Shield Value Limit, which was only a couple hundred points more than this time. It really shows that it was necessary to increase both the Life Value Limit and Shield Value Limit simultaneously, or else such a significant growth in the Shield Value Limit wouldn't have occurred.

"From a Shield Value Limit of 30415 points to 35140 points, this time my Shield Value Limit successfully exceeded five small goals. For the next small goal, it would be great to set it at thirty-six thousand points."

Although Zhang Yanhang was still 860 points short of the next small goal, he felt that it would definitely be easy to achieve after his next rank promotion.

"Previously, my Shield Value Limit was only 13.5 times that of a Same Tier Awakened's Life Value Limit, but now it has increased to 15.6 times, effectively gaining an additional 2.1 times in Shield Value Limit. I have successfully achieved the small goal I set to increase my Shield Value Limit to fifteen times."

Zhang Yanhang planned to set the next small goal at twenty times, but certainly, that couldn't be achieved during the Third Tier; only an incomplete version of the twenty times goal could be done at this tier.

"Currently, my Life Value Limit is 4.46 times that of a Same Tier Awakened, and my Shield Value Limit is 15.6 times that, bringing the total to 20.06 times which perfectly completes the twenty times small goal."

Zhang Yanhang remembered when he had just advanced to the Third Tier, he had no idea how he could achieve this small goal—setting it was more of a forward-looking vision than an actual plan; however, surprisingly, he had now achieved it, thanks to the Dark Purple Quality Divination Tarot Card Nine-piece Set.

Zhang Yanhang decided to set the next small goal at twenty-five times, though he was doubtful about achieving it in the Fourth Tier, as he felt even maintaining the twenty times goal might be a challenge at that level.

After finishing checking both the Life Value Limit and Shield Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang then went on to open and check his Energy Value Limit.

[Energy Value: 8280/8280 (Intelligence × 43 (+9), body now fully digitized, Energy Value Recovery Speed, 93 points per hour.)]

"With the nine-point Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient provided by the Dark Purple Quality Divination Tarot Card Nine-piece Set, my Energy Value Limit has increased from the original 7200 points to 8280 points, an additional increase of 1080 points to the Energy Value Limit, thus successfully achieving the small goal of raising the Energy Value Limit to eight thousand points.

Of this 1080 points increase in Energy Value Limit, only 675 points came from the fundamental transformation by the Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient, and the remaining 405 points all came from the 60% Energy Value Limit bonus provided by the SS-grade Scroll Dragon Bloodline."

Each time he reached this point, Zhang Yanhang was tempted to continue elevating the Talent Level of the Scroll Dragon Bloodline, thinking that perhaps after clearing the abandoned Transmission Channel in Raccoon City's sewers, he might find some time to enhance this Scroll Dragon Bloodline Talent Level.

"Previously, my Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient and Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient were both only thirty-four points, but after a uniform nine-point increase, it jumped straight up to forty-three points for both the Maximum Life Value Conversion Coefficient and Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient."

Compared to simply increasing fixed numbers in Life Value Limit and Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang was indeed more interested in these Maximum Life Value and Energy Value Conversion Coefficients, as they could grow in tandem with his Attribute growth, possessing a developmental nature, which was very important.

"A normal Third Tier Awakened should have an Energy Value Limit of 75 × 25 = 1875 points, and I have now, by relying on the nine-point Maximum Energy Value Conversion Coefficient provided by the Dark Purple Quality Divination Tarot Card Nine-piece Set, successfully increased my Energy Value Limit from the original 3.84 times that of a Same Tier Awakened to 4.4 times.

This accounted for an additional increase of 0.56 times the Energy Value Limit of a Same Tier Awakened, smoothly achieving the small goal I had previously set of raising my Energy Value Limit to four times that of a Same Tier Awakened."

Zhang Yanhang's next small goal was to maintain his Energy Value Limit at four times that of a Same Tier Awakened even after ascending to the Fourth Tier, which would surely require a lot of effort to achieve.

After checking the Life Value Limit, Shield Value Limit, and Energy Value Limit, Zhang Yanhang suddenly felt like he was running out of things to do.

"Everything extracted from the treasure box has been inventoried and sorted, and the Divination Tarot Card Set has also been upgraded. So, what else do I have to do now?"

After giving it some thought, Zhang Yanhang realized there indeed seemed to be nothing else to address for the time being, so he directly opened his data panel to start checking.

"Finally, I have reached the true peak where Attribute Values are at their tier limits and Skills have also reached tier limits at LV.MAX... I truly need a promotion urgently..."

Besides this matter, Zhang Yanhang noticed that he had just obtained 255300 Soul points from opening the treasure box, elevating his Soul point balance from 18049717 to 18305017.

"Though the Soul point balance did indeed increase, the increase wasn't significant; a mere two hundred fifty-thousand Soul points is nearly negligible for me now."

By comparison to the growth in Soul points, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned about his attribute values, or more specifically, his Luck Value.

"Previously, my Luck attribute value only had a '+1' following it, but now, due to the Dark Purple Quality Divination Tarot Card nine-piece set, it has grown by another point, totaling a two-point enhancement to my Luck attribute value."

Zhang Yanhang had always been quite curious about how high his Luck value actually was but, unfortunately, as a hidden attribute, he couldn't see the specific attribute value, which was somewhat frustrating.

"Now, I have nine pieces of Legendary Essence and sixteen points of Ash Source, and only one piece of Legendary Essence and seven points of Ash Source are required for the next promotion, so I just need to peacefully wait until I return to the Main World for my promotion."

As he spoke, Zhang Yanhang turned off the data panel and tidied up the items on the ground, packing everything into his waist bag.

Zhang Yanhang checked the time on his watch; it was nearly 6:30 AM, and only half an hour remained until the Transmission Channel would open, allowing him to travel through Greenland back to Qin Island City.

Thus, with nothing left to do, Zhang Yanhang chose to lay low for the next half hour and immediately lay down on the ground, planning to rest a bit.

...

October 30th, Friday, five days after Double Ninth Festival, it was still what could be considered Zhang Yanhang's first day in the Ashen World, at 6:59 AM, Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, at a T-shaped intersection in the central region.

Half an hour before the Transmission Channel was about to open, at 6:30 AM, Zhang Yanhang promptly received the related options for the Transmission Channel, and from these options, he learned the location of the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano's Transmission Channel, which was at the T-shaped intersection where he currently was.

After finalizing his choice, he had teleported directly to this T-shaped intersection and continued to lay low on the slightly cleaner ground here.

Now, as half an hour passed and Domination returned, stepping once again into a Time Pause, and after the related options for the Transmission Channel appeared before him, Zhang Yanhang was forced to stop laying low and started seriously reviewing the available options.

[Do you wish to continue hunting monsters in the Ashen World?]

[Option One: Yes (Although this is your first real entry into the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, your good hunting habits allowed you to formulate an excellent hunting plan from the start, and your strong self-discipline enabled you to implement this excellent plan completely, quickly hunting a large number of Large Crimson Iron Ants.

Although the overall hunting plan went very smoothly, even efficiently, other aspects (like opening the treasure box) made your plan seem less than perfect, forcing you to spend more time clearing the entire Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano.

This also made you think that since the Transmission Channel of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu is already closed, why not hunt more monsters in the Crimson Iron Ore Vein for a while longer? You feel you could immediately formulate and execute a new hunting plan in a new area to kill more monsters.)]

[Option Two: Continue (Although all the Large Crimson Iron Ants in the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano have been hunted to extinction by you, and you feel somewhat tired, you still believe you do not need to rest. You still have plenty of energy to expend, and you can still go on one more prolonged hunt.

To this end, you believe you should dig downwards to find a new area denser with monsters to splurge your current surplus energy, feeling that only by completely exhausting your energy, making yourself exhausted, would you need to use the Transmission Channel to return to the Main World. And you are still far from that point.)]

[Option Three: Return Home (You eagerly arrived at the Transmission Channel in the Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano half an hour ahead of time, anxiously awaiting the opening of the Transmission Channel to the Main World Greenland. Although it was only half an hour, it felt excruciatingly long to you.

You're now completely uninterested in continuing to hunt monsters, and you don't want to do anything more; you just want to quickly use the Transmission Channel to return to the Main World and from Greenland back to your bedroom in Room 505 at Xingfu District, Qin Island City for your promotion. Although you only left the Main World less than a day ago, you already immensely miss your bed at home.)]

"I choose Option Three, to immediately return to the Main World." After quickly reviewing the three options, Zhang Yanhang quickly selected the only reliable one.
