After reviewing the Attribute list of the Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +5, Zhang Yanhang quickly materialized the additional two heads.

These two extra heads, because they weren't equipped with any facial gear, easily equipped the Crimson Marrow Ghost Masks. However, his original head had three related pieces of equipment, all from the Raccoon City police set: an anti-riot helmet, a face shield, and an anti-poison mask.

As for which type of face shield it was, it was the kind of black, full-coverage face shield commonly used by criminals, only revealing the eyes.

Of course, if it was worn on Zhang Yanhang's face, accompanied by other pieces of the police set, it looked extremely professional, like a professional riot police officer.

The reason Zhang Yanhang wore so many things on his face was mainly because of the bonus effect of the White Ten-piece Set.

Though the White Ten-piece Set had become ineffective due to the Rank promotion and had been ineffective for less than twelve hours, he hadn't had the chance to take them off yet; after all, he was used to wearing them. But this time, he could take them all off since they were no longer needed.

After equipping all three pieces of the Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +5, Zhang Yanhang silently retracted the extra heads he had materialized, as continuously keeping them materialized would unnecessarily consume his stamina.

"Each Light Golden Quality Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +5 provides me with a 22.5% Critical Strike Rate bonus, and three together give a total of 67.5%. Adding my own 24.5% Critical Strike Rate, that totals to 92%.

Previously, I would achieve a critical hit once every four attacks, but now, there's a 90% chance of a critical hit on each attack, meaning on average, out of ten attacks, only one will not be a critical hit, and critical hits cause 225% Attack damage.

In other words, my current attack power is as if it has directly increased by 2.25 times..."

If Zhang Yanhang remembered correctly, he originally had a 390% bonus from Gun Mastery, Fighting Master offering both ranged and melee attack bonuses, plus an additional around 120%+60% attack bonus from Three-Headed Six-Armed, which meant his Normal attack could deal five times damage.

Now, due to a different calculation method for Critical Strike Damage, it directly doubles on top of his attack power bonus, meaning he could potentially deal about eleven times damage?

"Holy crap, is this Critical Strike Damage so fierce? But it seems normal to be fierce, after all, an Awakener like me who wears three masks on three heads to stack bonuses purely belongs to exploiting a BUG. Normally, it shouldn't be so easy to gather such Critical Strike bonuses."

Although strictly speaking, his Critical Strike Rate was only 92%, not yet able to achieve a critical hit on every attack, the formula couldn't completely hold true yet, but Zhang Yanhang wanted to say, do you love a melee brute whose Normal attack hits eleven times damage and can trigger extra attacks and Double Strike?

"Although I haven't reached a 100% Critical Strike Rate yet, 92% is already very high. The remaining mere 8% for Critical Strike Rate could probably be filled by continuing to increase the fusion times of the Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask, for instance, upgrading it to Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +6 should be enough."

Even if upgrading to Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask +6 wasn't enough, Zhang Yanhang still had a fourth head. He could equip another Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask on it when the time came, which would surely complete the set, and even overflow a bit, ensuring he could still hit criticals on enemies with Critical Resistance.

After resolving the matter with the Crimson Marrow Ghost Mask, Zhang Yanhang found that he seemingly had nothing else to do, since all the treasure in the treasure box had been accounted for, so he quietly opened his data panel to take a look.

"The 112 purple-quality Drop Treasure Boxes from the Crimson Iron Destruction Ants that I just opened have yielded a total of 537,600 soul points, increasing my balance of soul points from the original 1,731,934 to 2,269,534."

"Although the efficiency of the soul points gained was quite good, it's a pity that I'm still 800,000 soul points short of the 3.07 million needed to upgrade the skills directly from Original LV.6 to Original LV.MAX."

Although the current soul points are enough to upgrade the skills from Original LV.6 to Original LV.9, Zhang Yanhang thought that since there was no rush, he might as well continue saving them until he amassed 3.07 million soul points, and then upgrade all at once.

Because Three-Headed Six-Armed had shown unparalleled advantages in the recent equipment wearing, Zhang Yanhang felt that after amassing 3.07 million soul points, there was a high likelihood he would first upgrade the skill level of Three-Headed Six-Armed.

"Just now, the S-rank talent Bear Power upgraded to SS-rank Throwing Elephant Power provided me with a two-point bonus in strength attribute, making my strength attribute increase by another two points.

But unfortunately, since my strength attribute had already reached seventy-five points when unequipped, these two points of strength attribute overflowed, turning the earlier overflow of merely three points provided by the Makarov Earring into an overflow of five points."

Zhang Yanhang felt that as the talent level of Throwing Elephant Power increased, the overflow of strength attribute would likely become even more exaggerated, possibly reaching an overflow of more than ten points, similar to his previous second-tier intelligence attribute.

But this is in fact a good thing. After all, the more it overflows now, the fewer free attribute points Zhang Yanhang would need to spend on promoting to fourth tier, allowing him to allocate more free attribute points to enhance the other three main attributes.

Just like the previous upgrade from second tier to third tier, had it not been for the large overflow of attribute values during his second tier, it wouldn't have been possible for him to enhance all the main attributes to the tier limit of seventy-five points when unequipped in just four and a half hours. Normally, it would have taken at least another day or three or four days to reach the peak of third tier.

So, every point of overflowed attribute value now is shortening the time he will need to reach the peak of fourth tier in the future.

Of course, while it's fine to shorten the time, it's still unlikely to reach the tier peak as quickly as four and a half hours like this time, mainly because he had fought a permanent teleportation channel, and he might not be so lucky next time.

After all, compared to low-level teleportation channels, high-level ones aren't available every day, especially fifth-tier ones. Once he promotes to fourth tier, he estimates he will definitely need to fight fifth-tier teleportation channels. But such high-level channels are expected to be very rare.

Of course, if Zhang Yanhang is willing to compromise, he could also opt to fight only fourth-tier channels.

Nevertheless, as can be seen from the soul point acquisition rate after his promotion to third tier, there is a huge difference in soul point acquisition rates between each tier. If he opts for a fourth-tier channel, it is highly unlikely that it would meet the soul point demands of fourth-tier, and it might happen that he couldn't upgrade even a single skill after fighting one.

Therefore, he might shift from upgrading several skills after clearing one permanent channel as now, to needing to clear several permanent channels just to upgrade one skill.

"I currently have five talents, and besides Multiple Choice, which was originally my Awakening talent, the four talents acquired subsequently, Longevity Mountain and Fortune Sea, Throwing Elephant Power, Scroll Dragon Bloodline, and Ocean Rhythm, have finally all reached SS rank. They indeed look much more pleasing to the eyes now.

But as pleasing as it was, the power of Throwing Elephant definitely still needed to be upgraded. Formerly, as an S-tier Talent, Bear Power was in a lagging position, but once the Throwing Elephant's power was elevated to SSS-tier, those in a lagging position would be Longevity Mountain and Fortune Sea, Scroll Dragon Bloodline, and Ocean Rhythm."

As for upgrading other Talents, for now, Zhang Yanhang had only found the channel for acquiring Longevity Mountain and Fortune Sea, or rather the Slow Corrosion source, which was that abandoned teleportation channel in the sewers of Raccoon City.

Once the teleportation channel to Raccoon City was opened, he would definitely go to that abandoned teleportation channel to hunt the monsters there, by which time Longevity Mountain and Fortune Sea could probably see an upgrade in Talent Level just like Throwing Elephant currently had.

"I have to say, up to now, I still haven't even obtained a single SSS-tier Talent, and I don't know if there will be any changes when Throwing Elephant upgrades to SSS-tier."

But Zhang Yanhang figured that the difference between SS-tier and SSS-tier, being just one level, was unlikely to bring significant changes. Real significant changes were probably linked to levels above SSS-tier, and he still didn't know what those levels were called; could it be 'SSSS-tier'?

Zhang Yanhang felt that SSSS-tier and such were probably unlikely, but if it were actually possible, then he could even predict that in the future there might be some absurdly convoluted nine S-tier, 'SSSSSSSSS-tier'. Not to mention anything else, just pronouncing it was exhausting, like some sort of intelligence challenge where you have to repeat a particular word ten times.

After checking the attribute list, Zhang Yanhang glanced at his watch and was surprised to find it was already four fifty-two, using up another ten minutes just for merging and organizing.

"So, counting it up, I spent about fifteen minutes hunting and collecting treasure boxes, then another fifteen minutes opening treasure boxes and sorting and merging equipment. So doesn't this mean I've used a total of thirty minutes to clear twenty square kilometers? That's cleaning one square kilometer every minute and a half?"

Zhang Yanhang quickly calculated that, at this current efficiency, he would need at least sixteen hours to completely clear the entire Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano, which was twice the maintenance time of the teleportation channel. That was definitely not workable.

"I had hoped to find some new equipment in the treasure boxes dropped by the Crimson Iron Destruction Ants to increase my hunting efficiency, but it turned out I only found equipment that increased my critical strike rate.

Though the critical strike rate is powerful, perhaps even more so than increasing stamina limit or movement speed, the issue of my hunting efficiency being insufficient is a real problem that urgently needs to be addressed.

So, the question now is, how can I improve my hunting efficiency?"

After briefly contemplating, Zhang Yanhang thought it best to use the most basic and practical method to enhance hunting efficiency directly, that is, enhancing his Movement Speed with Spiritual Qi Blessing. If that still wasn't enough, then he would have to continue seeking other methods to improve hunting efficiency.

Although if Zhang Yanhang used Spiritual Qi Blessing continuously for a long period, his Energy Value limit would definitely not hold up, fortunately, he still had nearly four thousand bottles of Medium Magic Recovery Potion stored in his waist bag.

Each Medium Magic Recovery Potion could recover a hundred points of Energy Value; using them all up would help him recover nearly four hundred thousand points of Energy Value.

Of course, if it was just using Spiritual Qi to boost speed, it was impossible to use up so much Energy Value. He would only need to use a small portion of the Medium Magic Recovery Potions to meet the energy consumption for this time.

"Train soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a moment. The Medium Magic Recovery Potions I've diligently gathered by clearing the Goblin Plain are finally playing their role... Well, actually, they have always been useful."

Zhang Yanhang typically would replenish his Energy Value with a Medium Magic Recovery Potion after each depletion.
