October 28, Wednesday, three days after the Double Ninth Festival and also Zhang Yanhang's fourth day in Ashen World, at 5:37 in the morning, Demonized Swamp, forest area, Lucky Slot Machine.

[Successfully killed a Second Tier Three Star Monster 'Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar (Ordinary)'×1, Soul points +120.]

…

Five minutes later, Zhang Yanhang, using a single Death Wave Skill, instantly killed a total of one hundred demonized creatures, including twenty Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars.

His Death Wave Skill now dealt a fixed damage of nine hundred points, which was sufficient to instantly kill even Second Tier Four-star Monsters, let alone Second Tier Three-star Monsters like the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boars, which seemed utterly powerless before the Death Wave.

After dealing with the one hundred monsters drawn from the Lucky Slot Machine's third-prize pool in the Demonized Swamp, Zhang Yanhang comfortably settled amidst piles of corpses, quietly waiting for the Drop treasure box to refresh.

There was no choice, as the demonized creatures in the swamp were generally large; for instance, the Demonized Emperor Crocodile measured over ten meters in length, and both the Demonized Mammoth and the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar were substantial in size. Thus, it was only natural that a high mound of corpses had formed around Zhang Yanhang.

Perhaps because the Third Prize pool's monsters in the Lucky Slot Machine of the Demonized Swamp were significantly superior to those in other Lucky Slot Machines, Zhang Yanhang found that the Drop treasure boxes were unusually plentiful this time, amounting to a dozen. He counted, totaling twelve Drop treasure boxes.

From these, the Demonized Four-eyed Wild Boar, Demonized Emperor Crocodile, and the Demonized Mammoth had each contributed three Drop treasure boxes, while the remaining three Drop treasure boxes came from the Demonized Saber-Toothed Tiger, Demonized Dogtooth Giant Ape, and the Demonized Maned Beast.

"The Demonized Dogtooth Giant Ape and the Demonized Maned Beast only had ten, but still dropped a treasure box. Could it be like with the Licker earlier, where there was some leftover? Of course, it could just be plain good luck."

After swiftly picking up the twelve Drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang didn't linger. He quickly tucked them into his Waist Bag, and without further delay, he started heading towards Goblin Plain.

There were many places there he still needed to clear, or rather, he had only managed to clear a small part in those forty minutes, and the majority of that vast area would require several more hours to completely clear.

…

October 28, Wednesday, three days after the Double Ninth Festival and also Zhang Yanhang's fourth day in Ashen World, at 12:45 p.m., Goblin Plain, Outer Zone.

[Successfully killed a First Tier Two Star Monster 'Goblin Spear Thrower (Elite)'×1, Soul points +10.]

[Successfully killed a First Tier Two Star Monster 'Goblin Spear Thrower (Elite)'×1, Soul points +10.]

[Successfully killed a First Tier Two Star Monster 'Goblin Spear Thrower (Elite)'×1, Soul points +10.]

…

After punching to death the last few Goblin Spear Throwers on Goblin Plain, Zhang Yanhang let out a long sigh. He had finally managed to clear Goblin Plain.

"I originally thought that if things went well, it might only take four or five hours to clear the entire Goblin Plain, but unexpectedly, lacking the Death Wave, the impact on my cleaning efficiency was quite significant.

Even though my Movement Speed has greatly increased, it still took me seven hours and fifty minutes to clear the entire Goblin Plain…"

Although this time didn't reach his initially estimated worst-case scenario of eight hours, it was quite close, thus he was obviously not too satisfied. But fortunately, since there was still plenty of time left, it wasn't a big issue.

"So, the question now is, since Raccoon City and Goblin Plain have both been cleared, what should I do next?"

Zhang Yanhang thought that he might as well clear the Lucky Slot Machine's Third Prize pool at Goblin Plain next.

He had previously scanned the Third Prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine at Goblin Plain, which appeared to refresh around eight o'clock in the morning, two hours later than the closure of the Transmission Channel.

Thus, getting another free ride before leaving Ashen World was out of the question, of course, he had known this for a long time, or rather, he knew it from the start. What he meant was that this time, clearing the Lucky Slot Machine's Third Prize pool at Goblin Plain would be his last time clearing the pool.

Therefore, if the Maka Bagga in the pool still couldn't drop a treasure box this time, Zhang Yanhang probably wouldn't be able to acquire the Drop treasure box from Maka Bagga ever again, and naturally, Maka Bagga's Alchemy Set would remain at Dark Purple Quality.

Other than Maka Bagga's Drop treasure box, Zhang Yanhang no longer had any need for any other Drop treasure box; having solved all the Equipment needs from there earlier, everything had already been fused to about its limit, with no further upgrades possible, indeed making it hard to have any other demands.

"Since that's the case, I might as well quickly clear the last round of the Third Prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine in Goblin Plain." After discovering that the few Goblin Spear Throwers he just encountered had not dropped any treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang quickly began moving towards the Lucky Slot Machine.

…

October 28, Wednesday, three days after the Double Ninth Festival and Zhang Yanhang's fourth day in Ashen World, at 12:45 p.m., Goblin Plain, Outer Zone, Lucky Slot Machine.

As he faced this Lucky Slot Machine, identical to others in different zones, Zhang Yanhang began expertly pulling the metal lever on the side of the machine.

With the pull of the metal lever, Time Pause soon descended again on Goblin Plain, and a large selection of text options immediately appeared before Zhang Yanhang.

[Please select the specific content of the Lucky Slot Machine's draw]

[Option One: ❂❂❂ (Third Prize, Big Saber Goblin, First Tier One Star, Elite Monster.）]

[Option Two: ❂❂❂ (Third Prize, Goblin Wolf Cavalry, First Tier Three Stars, Ordinary Monster.）]

...

[Option Forty-nine: ❂❂❂ (Third prize, Goblin Chief Shaman Maka Bagga, Second Tier Two Stars, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option Ninety-nine: ❂❂❂ (Third prize, Big Goblin, Second Tier One Star, Ordinary Monster.)]

...

[Option One Hundred Thirty-two: ✫☆✫ (Fourth prize, thank you for your patronage, no physical prize.)]

...

After carefully reviewing for a while, Zhang Yanhang found that compared to the anomalies at the Demonized Swamp, the prize pool for the third prize at the Goblin Plain's Lucky Slot Machine was still the same as usual, or rather, there was absolutely no change; not only the third prize pool was the same, but also the second and first prizes still showed no signs of refreshment.

"I hope that this Maka Bagga in the prize pool drops a purple-quality Drop Treasure Box, otherwise the fusion of the Alchemy Set is really going to be a long way off."

Having the precedent of first-tier monsters, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but be pessimistic about the second-tier monsters after advancing in rank, judging from the current situation, by then the second-tier monsters would at least require killing twenty or thirty just like the current first-tier monsters before dropping a treasure box, so indeed it is going to be a long way off.

"So, I choose option one, Big Saber Goblin, a First Tier One Star Elite Monster." After reviewing the prize pool list, Zhang Yanhang quickly made his choice.

...

October 28, Wednesday, three days after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the fourth day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, twelve fifty in the afternoon, Goblin Plain, Outer Zone, Lucky Slot Machine.

[Successfully killed a Second Tier One Star Monster 'Goblin Shaman (Elite)' ×1, Soul Points +60.]

[Successfully killed a Second Tier One Star Monster 'Goblin Shaman (Elite)' ×1, Soul Points +60.]

[Successfully killed a Second Tier One Star Monster 'Goblin Shaman (Elite)' ×1, Soul Points +60.]

...

After skillfully using a Death Wave to deal with all the Dragon Vein Goblins, Zhang Yanhang stood in place and waited a bit, then somewhat disappointedly discovered that this time Maka Bagga also did not drop a treasure box.

"But not dropping a treasure box is actually quite normal, after all, even including the initial Maka Bagga, I have only killed five Maka Baggas.

Even after excluding that initial Maka Bagga, on the prize pool side, I've only killed four Maka Baggas, even if the maximum probability is dropping one treasure box after killing seven, I'm still three short; expecting a drop now is indeed not very realistic."

Fortunately, although Maka Bagga didn't drop a treasure box, the treasure boxes dropped by other monsters were quite normal, still dropping a total of nine Drop Treasure Boxes, the Big Goblin and the Goblin Shamans each dropped three boxes, while the Big Saber Goblin, Goblin Spear Thrower, and Goblin Wolf Cavalry each dropped one.

After picking up these nine Drop Treasure Boxes and putting them into his Waist Bag, Zhang Yanhang began pondering a very important issue, which was what he should do next.

"I've already been working almost nine consecutive hours, and there are still seventeen hours left until the Teleportation Channel opens and closes. What should I do in these seventeen hours? Should I find something to do? No, I better go back and get some sleep first."

Feeling that he actually had nothing to do, and since he had already worked for nine hours, it was better to rest for a while. With that thought in mind, he immediately teleported back to Raccoon City.

...

October 28, Wednesday, three days after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the fourth day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, six fifteen in the evening, Raccoon City, Dulda Apartment, unit 301, on the worn wooden bed.

Lying on the bed and having slept for over five hours, Zhang Yanhang slowly opened his eyes, but this time he did not get up immediately as usual, but continued to lazily lie on the bed for a while before sitting up; he began pondering again that important question, which was what to do next?

"Now it's six fifteen in the evening, there are less than twelve hours until the Teleportation Channel closes..."

During the time Zhang Yanhang was sleeping, the Teleportation Channel had silently opened, a half-hour earlier than expected as usual, Zhang Yanhang remembered it used to open at six thirty, and now it had moved forward half an hour to six.

"If it opened at six, then the duration of the Teleportation Channel has already reached twelve hours? And before, Zhou Muxi told me that when the opening time of the Teleportation Channel exceeds twelve hours, from then on, each time it opens earlier will double, reaching one hour.

That is to say, although it is still six this time, the next time the Teleportation Channel opens it will be at five, and the duration will also be extended to thirteen hours..."

Although having an extra hour or lacking one doesn't usually mean much to Zhang Yanhang, he still thought it should be a good thing, after all, more is definitely better than less.

And in the future, if he encounters situations like the previous cleanup of the Goblin Plain, where he needs to clear the entire area during the duration of the Teleportation Channel, an extra hour would provide more leeway, which is indeed very nice.

After all, during the previous cleanup of the Goblin Plain, time was extremely tight, and if he could have an extra hour, he definitely wouldn't have been as rushed and continuously non-stop like last time.

After briefly paying attention to the Teleportation Channel leading to the Main World, Zhang Yanhang began to pay attention to another Teleportation Channel. Compared to the Teleportation Channel to the Main World, this one was obviously much more important.

Of course, the Teleportation Channel Zhang Yanhang was talking about here obviously couldn't be the one on the Goblin Plain leading to India, but the one in the Raccoon City sewers, the abandoned Teleportation Channel.

Across that abandoned Teleportation Channel, there was a very high probability of a new zone with zombie types, which could allow him to gain more Slow Corrosion or an upgrade of the Slow Corrosion Talent.

After scanning the coverage progress of the blue energy bar on the Repair Talisman Paper in the sewer, Zhang Yanhang found that the whole Teleportation Channel was now about 70% repaired, still leaving 30% of progress to be repaired.

According to his previous experience, it could repair 20% per day, which meant it would take about thirty-six hours to be completely repaired.
