This was Zhang Yanhang's first time obtaining normal golden equipment that provided additional attribute bonuses. He hadn't really understood golden quality equipment before, but now he discovered that the golden quality truly deserved its name. The bonuses provided by equipment at the Fourth Tier Land Immortal Level indeed far surpassed those of the previous three ranks.

"Moreover, even though it already provided a 31% attack speed bonus, the score was merely 365 points—just a passable bottom score within the golden quality.

This means there's still tremendous growth potential. A normally scored piece of golden quality equipment could very well offer a 40% attack speed bonus.

That is, it would be 20% more than the bonuses provided by light golden quality equipment, equating to the total combined bonus that could be achieved with the earlier blue, purple, dark purple, and light golden qualities.

In fact, if one considers the first tier gray, white, and green qualities that don't provide bonuses, a single piece of golden quality equipment could be equivalent to the sum of seven qualities, which is quite terrifying."

At that moment, Zhang Yanhang truly understood the terrifying extent of the Immortal Land Level for the first time. Luckily, he had not recklessly challenged the Fourth Tier; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have stood a chance.

"Moreover, compared to the outrageous growth in additional attribute bonuses, there was no increase in the Agility attribute requirements. After the promotion to golden quality, it still maintained the usage requirement of fifty points in Agility, which didn't seem so outrageous."

After all, Zhang Yanhang was about to advance ranks soon, so the usage requirements didn't really matter anymore. It wouldn't have made a difference whether it increased normally by ten points or even doubled by twenty points—he wasn't scared. Thus, whether it increased or not truly didn't make much of a difference, and naturally wasn't worth his attention.

After reviewing the attribute list of the Demon Pig Bracelet +3 of golden quality, Zhang Yanhang quickly reequipped it onto his arm.

Now, with the acquired 14% attack speed bonus from the Ivory Pendant +5 and the Demon Pig Bracelet +3, his Six Roots Pure Soul Gun's cannon bullet firing speed had successfully increased from the original 238 bullets per second to 252 bullets per second, an increase of 14 bullets per second.

Additionally, with the increase in the cannon bullet firing speed, Zhang Yanhang's ability to empty a machine gun magazine also improved. He successfully reduced the time needed to empty a magazine from the original 2.1 seconds to just 2 seconds, saving another 0.1 second.

Though this 0.1 second was small, it was a crucial 0.1 second. At this point, Zhang Yanhang finally achieved his long-term goal of reducing the time to empty a magazine to under two seconds. Though this "long-term" goal didn't take a long time to accomplish; in fact, it took even less time than many smaller goals, but that was not a big issue.

Zhang Yanhang was itching to test out emptying an entire magazine in one second after activating the Six Roots Pure Skill; he wondered who would be so lucky to be his first experimental target.

"Didn't expect to achieve the long-term goals of compressing the magazine emptying speed to three seconds and then to two seconds so quickly. The next long-term goal will be set to emptying the entire magazine in one second.

However, this time it really will be a long-term goal. After all, compressing from three seconds to two seconds and then from two seconds to one second are completely different concepts. My current attack speed needs to double again to achieve compressing it to within one second."

Zhang Yanhang estimated that completing the task within the third tier would already be quite good, and there was even a possibility it might drag to the fourth tier. Of course, considering the substantial improvement brought by Golden Equipment, although there was indeed a probability of reaching the fourth tier, it wasn't too high.

After gaining that 14% Attack Speed Bonus, not only had the firing speed of the cannon bullets increased, but naturally, their flight speed had increased as well. Now, the flight speed of Zhang Yanhang's Six Roots Pure Soul Gun Cannon Bullets had increased from the original 7.1 Mach to 7.6 Mach, a further increase of 0.5 Mach in flight speed.

This 0.5 Mach increase in flight speed, if converted to meters per second, would be almost equivalent to an increase of about 170 meters per second.

"Now that the flight speed of the cannon bullets has increased to 7.6 Mach, it represents that my long-term goal to boost the flight speed of the cannon bullets to 9 Mach has already been more than halfway accomplished. However, there is still a gap of 1.4 Mach in flight speed needed to fully complete this long-term goal."

If Zhang Yanhang calculated the precise progress, it was approximately 53.3% complete, still lacking 46.7% to fully achieve the long-term goal of increasing the flight speed of the cannon bullets to 9 Mach. He still needed to continue striving hard.

After resolving the matter with the Demon Pig Bracelet +3, Zhang Yanhang soon began to tally other equipment, with only the last two pieces of equipment remaining. These were the Golden Quality Equipment, \[Resentment Puppet\], and the Blue Quality Equipment, \[Divination Tarot Card - Moon[Fake] (Gate of Truth)\], which he had obtained from the EX-level Ashen Treasure Box in the Demonized Swamp Area.

First was the Golden Quality Resentment Puppet. After studying it carefully for a while, Zhang Yanhang found that this item was indeed similar to an amulet-type equipment. As long as it was placed in the Waist Bag, it could trigger its effect, activating a protective effect when a fatal attack was encountered.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang noticed a crucial point—the protective effect of the Resentment Puppet specifically included a bracketed note that it could protect against Instant Death Attacks. This was truly useful for Zhang Yanhang, as he previously lacked any measures to counter such attacks, essentially a complete void in that regard.

But now, he no longer needed to be afraid. If he did encounter any incredible Instant Death Attacks in the future, he now possessed a means of protection and wouldn't have to respond passively.

Because he often played games, Zhang Yanhang was extremely fearful of Instant Death Attacks. After all, most of these attacks triggered in very unreasonable ways, such as some that didn't need to cause any damage at all. A mere touch could instantly trigger the Instant Death Effect and kill you.

Or merely because of doing something trivial like picking a nose with the left little finger, which unexpectedly triggered the Instant Death condition and resulted in getting killed instantly.

Of course, the more irrational the trigger conditions for Instant Death Attacks, the lower the probability of Instant Death, so it wasn't something to be overly concerned about in general.

For someone like him, who was dubbed the Heavenly Destiny Master with maxed-out luck, at least an Instant Death probability of over 90% was necessary even to have a slight possibility of triggering it or attaining certain conditions that would definitely trigger the Instant Death Attack.

However, facing such unpredictable Instant Death Attacks, it was indeed better to be cautious. This Resentment Puppet was a powerful supplement to Zhang Yanhang's defensive void in this area.

Nevertheless, considering that Instant Death abilities were quite rare, the Resentment Puppet, under normal circumstances, would confront more regular attacks, or rather, various powerful attacks causing normal fatal attacks, although tagging them 'normal' did indeed feel somewhat odd.

Besides studying its usage effects, due to the information provided in the description of the Resentment Puppet, Zhang Yanhang also carefully examined its appearance. Well, how to put it, it was very 'rustic,' at first glance one could immediately feel that this surely was a child's doll from the village.

Mainly, the two big patches of fabric sewn on the bottom of the doll's feet were very conspicuous, directly recalling the traditional big-flowered jackets from rural areas. Of course, they are quite rustic, but the bright red color is quite festive to look at, okay. It's just that a whole family of five being wiped out probably has nothing to do with festivity, so it could only be said that Mourner really was dutiful.

To sum it up, the Resentment Puppet appeared like a regular little girl doll on the outside. However, the rustic appearance could not hide the blood-red glow emanating wildly from the doll's eyes, letting one clearly know that this doll was far from ordinary, or rather, it was incredibly eerie.

After placing the Resentment Puppet into his waist bag, Zhang Yanhang continued to study the last piece of equipment, the Divination Tarot Card - Moon. But before starting his research, he took out another Divination Tarot Card - Star from the waist bag and placed it alongside the Moon, as this was the only way to trigger the set effect.

Then Zhang Yanhang immediately began to check the attribute list of the Divination Tarot Card - Star, wanting to know how much the activated Set Effect One could enhance.

[Overview: The Star is one of the 78 tarot cards, ranked 17th among the 22 Major Arcana cards. It represents a card that harbors hope in the depths. Under the illumination of Sirius, the Star of Hope, the Hope Goddess pours holy water from her bottle into the pond symbolizing subconscious...]

"I have to say, the strongest aspect of set equipment really is the set effect. Compared to that, the extra attributes provided by individual set parts can simply be described as ordinary. Just activating one set effect, the enhancements provided by the Tarot cards, Star, and Moon have directly doubled by 1.5."

The original Divination Tarot Card - Star provided an increase of 5% in critical strike rate, but now it can enhance a total of 12.5% critical strike rate.

It's merely a blue quality item and only one set effect has been activated, yet the critical strike rate enhancement provided by the tarot card has already surpassed that of the golden quality All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist, which only provides 12% critical strike rate enhancement, which is 0.5% less than the tarot cards.

Of course, this is mainly because the All Four Elements are Void Pure World Fist is a weapon, mainly focused on its attacking ability. That slight critical strike rate can only be considered an extra, and hence it only increased by 12%, while normal golden quality equipment certainly provides much more critical strike rate.

But even if it provides much more, it can't change the nature of the Divination Tarot Card providing as much as 12.5% critical strike rate even being just a blue quality. Based on this development, he estimated that purple quality might soon be on par with golden quality equipment.

"Now that I have the 7.5% critical strike rate enhancement provided by this set effect, my own critical strike rate has jumped from an original 19.5% to 27%, which is a leap in growth.

Originally, I would roughly need to attack five times to trigger one critical hit, but now, just four attacks are enough to trigger one critical hit, significantly reducing the difficulty of triggering a critical hit.

Moreover, even after subtracting the 2.5% critical strike rate enhancement from the White Ten-piece Set, I still possess 24.5% critical strike rate, which is also roughly enough to maintain triggering a critical hit every four attacks."

Because he was about to be promoted to the Third Tier soon, Zhang Yanhang felt he could completely strip off the White Ten-piece Set right after this.

"Additionally, beyond this 7.5% critical strike rate enhancement, this activated set effect 'Unrivaled, Conqueror's Journey' also provides 15% critical hit damage enhancement.

Although the White Ten-piece Set also provides a 2.5% critical hit damage enhancement in this respect, it could almost be ignored. Therefore, I currently only have the 10% critical hit damage enhancement provided by the Tarot Card - Moon.

Now, adding the 15% critical hit damage enhancement from the set effect, this totals up to 25% critical hit damage enhancement. Originally, my critical hits caused 200% of the attack power, now they can cause 225% of the attack, increasing the strength of the critical hit by one-eighth, which is pretty decent."

Zhang Yanhang could not help but nod his head.
