Chapter 937: Red Quality [Human Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedding) +1]


Speaking of this thirty-second cooldown time, Zhang Yanhang was a bit disappointed that even after this upgrade to Red Quality, the cooldown time of All Four Elements are Void wasn't reduced, as thirty seconds is indeed somewhat long for him now.

Although the additional attributes of the Divination Tarot Card can help reduce some of the cooldown time, it can't cut down much, only reducing it by 22.5% from the original 30 seconds to 23.25 seconds, just a reduction of 6.75 seconds in total.

Fortunately, he is about to level up the Divination Tarot Card next, so by then, the skill cooldown time should reduce further, possibly to under twenty seconds.

"Aside from the cooldown time, this time the Red Quality All Four Elements are Void also increased the stun duration by 0.4 seconds, from the original 4.4 seconds of stunning the enemy to 4.8 seconds, just 0.2 seconds short of five seconds."

Speaking of this stun duration, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but think about the cooldown time, what if one day the stun time can increase further while the cooldown time decreases even more, could it be possible to end the cooldown before the stun effect ends? This is what they call infinite stun.

Although he had never experienced the stun effect because he would instantly kill the enemy every time he used All Four Elements are Void before, he believed that in the future, against the increasingly tough-to-kill Divine entities, due to the divine power, this stun effect should finally be quite effective, certainly aiding him in killing enemies more easily.

Moreover, although the idea of infinite stun sounds like it's very much a bug, Zhang Yanhang thinks there's indeed a high probability it can be achieved, after all, the level of the Divination Tarot Card has been steadily increasing.

"Compared to All Four Elements are Void, the increase in All Things are Impermanent this time is also quite significant, with the total damage bonus against life form enemies increasing from the original 39.6% to 52%, which is an additional 12.4% total damage bonus, a much larger hike than last time."

Zhang Yanhang remembers that last time when it upgraded to Orange Quality, it only increased by 8.5%, this time it increased by 3.9% more, nearly half as much again, likely because it is nearing the upgrade to Legendary Quality.

"Moreover, although on the surface it's only a 52% total damage bonus, due to the All Things Special Attack doubling the damage, this 52% total damage bonus can indeed be considered as a 104% total damage bonus, doubling the damage for any attack going forward."

Of course, fixed damage cannot be increased, after all, the strength of fixed damage lies in its invariability, remaining unchanged at a fixed state, only specialized bonuses can enhance fixed damage.

But apart from fixed damage, other damages can be freely enhanced, this time effectively increasing the overall damage he could deal by 24.8%, essentially a quarter increase, which is quite appreciable.

After all, this is only a single upgrade in quality yet to increase the damage bonus by so much, Zhang Yanhang is now increasingly anticipating the Legendary All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist.

Given that all enemies Zhang Yanhang has encountered so far are life form enemies, and has yet to encounter other types of enemies, Zhang Yanhang feels that this special attack against life form enemies is indeed quite practical.

Frankly speaking, Zhang Yanhang initially thought that enemies like Kulunzo's Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank and the Electromagnetic Railgun would definitely be mechanical type enemies, but he didn't expect that there was actually parasitic flesh inside, thus also judged as life form enemies.

Of course, theoretically, silicon-based life forms that are not AI-controlled but have self-awareness and can self-replicate like transformable vajra are also considered life forms.

It's just that self-aware robots are currently quite rare, most mechanical enemies are just tools and weapons mass-produced on assembly lines.

"But even though I am indeed very much looking forward to the Legendary All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist, I completely lack the conditions for the upgrade, after upgrading to Red Quality, further upgrading the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist requires gathering seven Red Quality Weapons."

As for how to gather these seven Red Quality upgrade materials, Zhang Yanhang indeed has no clue at the moment, considering how grueling it was just to gather six Orange Quality upgrade materials, let alone more numerous and higher quality Red Quality upgrade materials.

Moreover, unlike the Orange Quality items which are generally now in wide usage by Zhang Yanhang,

the Red Quality items representing the Late Fifth Tier are still high-end goods, previously only obtained through opening Ashen Treasure Boxes and Lord's Treasure Chests, and he doesn't have enough Red items to transform into upgrade materials, it's completely unrealistic.

As for the common treasure boxes, the highest quality he can currently obtain is only the Dark Gold Quality treasure box dropped by the Ancestor Virus Infected, capable of producing at most an Orange Quality Human Potential Activation Device.

Therefore, presently wanting Zhang Yanhang to immediately upgrade All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist to Legendary is indeed quite unrealistic, one could even say there's no condition to complete it, considering he doesn't even have seven pieces of Red Quality equipment altogether.

"Speaking of which, even though it's already Red Quality, the usage requirements for All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist are still kept at a relatively low level, probably around the Early Fourth Tier Stage.

The original usage requirements were 70 points of Strength, 65 points of Agility, and 65 points of Constitution, now increased to 80 points of Strength, 75 points of Agility, and 75 points of Constitution, all of which only increased by ten attribute value points."

Regarding this, Zhang Yanhang could only say that this is probably the specialty of upgradable weapons, with lower attribute value requirements allowing the user to upgrade more freely without worrying about becoming unable to use it due to higher usage requirements post-upgrade.

However, for Zhang Yanhang who now already possesses the Hundred Taboos Skill, this point doesn't matter much.

"But I must say, even though the usage requirements are low, the equipment score doesn't drop at all, still maintaining a full score state, and after upgrading, it increased from the Orange Quality full score of 680 points to the Red Quality full score of 830 points, gaining 150 points in score."

In this regard, All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist has indeed never let Zhang Yanhang down.

After checking the attribute list of All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist, Zhang Yanhang immediately equipped it back on his hand.

"Although the upcoming Legendary quality seems extremely difficult to upgrade for my current Fourth Tier stage, it should be manageable once I advance to Fifth Tier."

After all, Red Quality itself is Fifth Tier Quality, difficult to obtain for Fourth Tier Zhang Yanhang, but it shouldn't be an issue for Fifth Tier version of him to gather seven upgrade materials, possibly even further to Epic-grade might not be a problem.

After reviewing the talents, soul points, weapons, Zhang Yanhang started assessing the rewards on the equipment side, beginning with the Human Potential Activation Device that he just got from the treasure box dropped by the Ancestor Virus Infected along with the Omida Nuclear Energy Cannon.

As initial high-level equipment with near full score of orange quality, Zhang Yanhang only got nine pieces this time.

But the quantity is not the key; the key is exactly what part of the body this thing is equipped on. If it's installed on the heart, then it's redundant to have nine pieces, but if it's equipped on other parts related to the Three-Headed Six-Armed, then nine pieces might not be enough.

Zhang Yanhang briefly observed the Human Potential Activation Device and found that its shape isn't quite like the Neck Potential Activation Device. This thing is flatter, and inside it seems to be divided into two parts like an Electromagnetic Energy Pump, which doesn't seem to be equipment related to the heart?

But Zhang Yanhang didn't bother guessing where exactly this thing without a manual should be equipped. He chose to directly inquire with Multiple Choice, and after spending a little Energy Value, Zhang Yanhang got the correct answer from Multiple Choice. It turns out this thing is equipped on the palm, used for enhancing hand strength.

Or rather, it's for enhancing the strength of Tyrant's abnormally swollen palms to better utilize the Skill Effect of Death Claw. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would certainly be impossible to implant any strength-enhancing device on the palm.

But for Tyrant, whose palms could easily rival one-third or even half of his height, it must be said that specifically installing something on the palm that can enhance hand strength is really quite practical.

"Under normal circumstances, my palms, already equipped with the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist and the Barbaric Stone Bandage, should definitely not be able to equip any other equipment.

However, this Human Potential Activation Device, like other equipment from the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, comes with Magnetic Energy Embedding functionality, can be equipped inside the body, and does not share an equipment slot with external equipment, so naturally, it won't cause any conflict."

This is like installing a steel plate on your leg; does it affect wearing pants? Definitely not, after all, the steel plate is not a cast.

Therefore, the Magnetic Energy Embedding equipment that Zhang Yanhang acquired from the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field never conflicted with other equipment, as to some extent, these Magnetic Energy Embedding pieces are almost like the prosthetic body modifications of cyberpunk, all about adding parts into the body.

"Since this Human Potential Activation Device is equipped on the palm, I need to equip four at the same time. It seems that nine are indeed a bit few, but there's no choice, considering the low number of Ancestor Virus Aggregation high-level monsters."

To acquire more Human Potential Activation Devices, Zhang Yanhang reckoned that relying on the automatic refresh of the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field itself was futile; at most, he could hope for the automatic refresh of the third prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine.

"Come to think of it, it's past five a.m. now, and in principle, the third prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field should have refreshed. It's just that I don't have the time to check right now."

Zhang Yanhang plans to clear the third prize pool over there after tallying up the relevant earnings, provided it's refreshed. If it hasn't refreshed, then he will have to wait for the next time.

"But clearing the third prize pool is for later; the most critical thing now is to first fuse the Human Potential Activation Device."

Zhang Yanhang immediately placed all nine Human Potential Activation Devices into the Alchemy Array and began the fusion process.

Due to the small quantity, there was only one round of fusion this time, and since it was the first fusion, the whole process was not only exceptionally smooth but also extremely fast, taking just a few seconds to complete.

In the end, except for one Human Potential Activation Device that stood alone, the other eight Human Potential Activation Devices were all fused by Zhang Yanhang into Red Quality Human Potential Activation Device +1.

Looking at the four Human Potential Activation Devices +1 that were flashing with red light in front of him, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened its Attribute list to start checking.

[Human Potential Activation Device (Magnetic Energy Embedding) +1]

[Quality: Red]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, suburb of Umbrella City, Zhang Yanhang.]

[Durability: 85/85]

[Defensive power: 67]

[Additional Attributes: Strength +60% (+5%).]

[Usage requirements: Strength 125 points.]

[Score: 725 (Red item score is 681 to 830.)]

[Introduction: Although I wanted to create a Super Weapon, my first step is still to continue rooting in the Energy Department. Only by continuously optimizing the Micro Nuclear Reactor to ensure stable energy transmission can I truly create the Super Weapon I desire. For a creator of the Micro Nuclear Reactor like me...]

"Before the fusion, the Human Potential Activation Device already had a score of 675, just 5 points away from the full score of orange quality. Now, even though it's just simply fused to +1, it indeed successfully promoted to Red Quality, with the equipment score directly increasing from the original 675 points to 725 points, a total increase of fifty points.

But unfortunately, due to the Red Quality score range having a total of 150 points, even with an increase of fifty points reaching 725 points, it still falls within the low score range of Red Quality."

It can be said that if only the Human Potential Activation Device +1 could gain an additional six points to reach a total score of 730 points or higher, it could immediately enter the medium score range of Red Quality, but fortunately, Zhang Yanhang felt the issue wasn't significant.
