"As I said, merely relying on attribute value to enhance fixed damage without upgrading the skill level of Death Wave itself indeed doesn't yield much fixed damage.
The Intelligence attribute provided me with an additional two hundred and fifty points of fixed damage, while the Charm attribute, which wasn't fully maxed out, only gave me two hundred and ten points of fixed damage due to having only ninety-six points.
Combined, they only increased my total fixed damage limit by four hundred and sixty points, raising my fixed damage limit from the original two thousand points to 2460 points.
And even a Fourth Tier monster, even with the minimum seventy-five points in Constitution attribute, has 3375 Life Value, so I am still nine hundred points short of fixed damage limit to insta-kill such a Fourth Tier one-star monster."
Fortunately, besides the most basic fixed damage limit, the additional attributes of Death Wave can also enhance a portion of the insta-kill limit. According to Zhang Yanhang's calculations, his 2460 points of fixed damage effectively translate to an execution range of 3075 points.
"Damn, doesn't this still mean I can't even take down a seventy-five-point Fourth Tier one-star monster? Before my rank promotion, killing a Third Tier monster with a 2250 Life Value limit was easy, but now after promoting to Fourth Tier, I can still only kill Third Tier monsters... At most, it can be said that the 'excess' range has gotten slightly larger."
However, Zhang Yanhang wasn't originally expecting to insta-kill Fourth Tier monsters without upgrading.
Based on Zhang Yanhang's previous experience, as long as Death Wave can be upgraded to Origin LV.6, relying on additional attributes and the auto-increasing fixed damage limit from skill level upgrades, it should definitely be able to insta-kill a portion of Fourth Tier monsters.
Perhaps not the Peak Fourth Tier, but some Fourth Tier Two-star or Fourth Tier Three-star monsters should be relatively easy.
But unfortunately, Zhang Yanhang currently doesn't have enough Soul points for an upgrade, only having over a million Soul points left, which is far off from the twenty million needed to upgrade Death Wave·Origin to LV.6. He can only wait until he accumulates enough Soul points to upgrade.
After reviewing the Skill Effect of Death Wave, Zhang Yanhang quickly moved on to check the Skill Effect of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, as these are the only two skills in his attribute list that can be enhanced with attribute value improvements.
[Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil·Original Scripture LV.MAX (Passive/Active)]
[Passive Effect: Neural Reflex Speed +50.0%]
[Active Effect: Detects the position of enemies within the Perception Range and predicts the enemies' next move to a certain extent. The current Perception Range is 5000+50×100(+25)[Intelligence]=10000 meters(+1250 meters). No cooldown, consumes a small amount of Physical Strength.]
[Additional Attribute: Skillful—You can now skillfully master Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, and you will be able to freely adjust the Perception coverage range and fully grasp the contours of enemies within the Perception Range.]
[Additional Attribute: Mastery—You have become proficient in mastering Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, enhancing the penetration power of Perception, allowing you to obtain colors within the Perception Range through Concentration.]
[Additional Attribute: Specialization—After long-term efforts, your mastery of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil can be called Specialization. The penetration power of Perception and anti-interference ability are further enhanced, making your Perception ability of surrounding objects more refined.]
[Additional Attribute: Expert—After a long period of effort, your mastery of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill can be called Expert. Prolonged research has gradually made you master the method of observing vibrations, with new understandings of colors and penetration power perception.]
"After my Intelligence attribute increased from seventy-five points in Third Tier to a hundred points in Fourth Tier, my Perception Range has grown another 1250 meters, from 8750 meters to 10000 meters, which is truly impressive."
Of course, although it appears to be merely ten thousand meters, in reality, due to a 45% skill range bonus from the dark purple quality Tarot Card set, Zhang Yanhang's Perception Range is actually 14500 meters, growing another 1812 meters compared to the previous 12688 meters.
"Previously, the coverage area of my Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil was about a hundred and twenty-six square kilometers, and now it has increased to a hundred and sixty-five square kilometers, expanding by another thirty-nine square kilometers, almost like the area of Raccoon City.
Before my promotion, I thought I might complete the minor goal of simultaneously scanning the city's three districts based on attribute value growth alone, but now it seems there's still a certain gap in achieving the simultaneous scan of the one hundred and ninety-two square kilometers of the three districts."
However, although the three districts can't be scanned yet, Zhang Yanhang can now scan both the sixty-three square kilometers of Shibei District and ninety-nine square kilometers of Licang District simultaneously, totaling a hundred sixty-two square kilometers with even three square kilometers to spare.
"Currently, I'm short by twenty-seven square kilometers in coverage area to simultaneously scan the three districts, which isn't too much. Once I upgrade Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to Origin LV.6, I should easily accomplish this, with probably a considerable extra coverage range as well."
In addition, Zhang Yanhang can still boost the coverage range of the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill by upgrading the Tarot Card set quality, for instance, promoting the Divination Tarot Card from dark purple to light gold to get more skill range bonuses.
"If I continue to enhance at the current pace, I feel I might eventually be able to scan the entire Qin Island City from home, but considering that Qin Island City spans over ten thousand square kilometers, realistically, this might require reaching Fifth Tier or even Sixth Tier to achieve."
Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang isn't in a hurry to accomplish this, as it's already considered a long-term goal, and there's no use in rushing.
"Currently, my coverage area of a hundred sixty-five square kilometers can simultaneously scan four Raccoon Cities, or more precisely, simultaneously scan forty square kilometers of Raccoon City and a hundred ten square kilometers of Goblin Plain."
Speaking of Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that it would indeed be a month by the time he goes there next, wondering if Raccoon City's Lucky Slot Machine would have refreshed the second and first prizes.
Initially, even if the second and first prizes refreshed at Raccoon City's Lucky Slot Machine, Zhang Yanhang couldn't use them at all, but now it's different. His Hundred Taboos Skill allows him to freely use those without considering usage conditions and artifact quality, and he can benefit from relevant effects using Heaven and Earth Devourer.
"If it really does refresh, it would certainly help increase my attribute value significantly." But whether or not it refreshes can only be known when the transmission channel opens later.
"So, the question is, since I've already checked the skills, what should I do now?"
Zhang Yanhang pondered a bit, realizing he hadn't checked the Talent Effect, which was said to be most important but usually doesn't change much, so he immediately opened the Multiple Choice after promotion to Fourth Tier to review it.
[Multiple Choice]
[Quality: ??? (F-EX)]
[Ability One: Single choice (Please explore the specific content yourself)]
[Ability Two: Autonomous choice - if there are no choices, you have to create your own questions to answer (Please explore the specific content yourself).]
[Ability Three: Multiple choice - you can consume 1-100 points of energy value limit to make a multiple choice (Please explore the specific content yourself).]
[Ability Four: ??? (Not yet unlocked)]
"What the heck?! The multiple choice actually changed? Fourth Tier is really something, it's prestigious.
It successfully allowed me to unlock Ability Three, which was always '???', and it truly unlocked the ability of multiple choice, yet there's still a '(Please explore the specific content yourself)' at the end, which is somewhat frustrating."
But fortunately, multiple choice has accompanied him through four ranks, so Zhang Yanhang has somewhat gotten used to it.
"This time, this multiple choice, if I didn't misunderstand, should definitely be multiple choice, right? Which means you can choose multiple options as the correct answer within one choice?
Just that the cost is somewhat..."
Initially, Zhang Yanhang thought the multiple choice would surely be just like the normal single choice, which only requires the normal consumption of energy value to use, but to his surprise, it consumes the energy value limit to use.
"Moreover, a single multiple choice can even consume up to a hundred points of energy value limit..."
Given Zhang Yanhang's current energy value limit of over ten thousand points, he could only make a little over a hundred multiple choices before depleting it.
"It seems this multiple choice is not a kind of ability that can be used casually; after all, if the rewards I receive after making the choice are not worth more than the energy value limit I consumed, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
And since the energy value limit affects the strength limit of the multiple choice talent itself, he can't just recklessly consume his energy value limit.
"Judging from this, I certainly can't use this multiple choice when opening ordinary treasure boxes since I open thousands at a time. Even if each multiple choice consumes just one point, it would still consume thousands of my energy value limit, which is simply unaffordable."
Zhang Yanhang thinks he should only use this multiple choice ability when opening some high-end treasure boxes, as only high-end boxes have valuable items worth obtaining at the cost of consuming the energy value limit.
"Moreover, besides the multiple choice just unlocked and the previously unlocked single and autonomous choices, a new Ability Four has emerged after unlocking Ability Three this time? However, this Ability Four is all question marks, not knowing what kind of ability it might be."
Considering he started with multiple choice and unlocked Ability One of single choice, later acquired autonomous choice upon becoming Heavenly Destiny Master, and now unlocked Ability Three of multiple choice by promoting to Fourth Tier.
So, Zhang Yanhang estimates, in order to unlock Ability Four, it might not be hopeful to reach Fifth Tier, probably he needs to reach Sixth Tier to have a more likely chance.
"I wonder what ability will be unlocked with Ability Four, perhaps something akin to 'speak and follow' ability?"
Of course, Zhang Yanhang is just saying the functionality is similar; the specific ability should still be related to choices, perhaps directly exempting the energy value consumption needed for making choices, alright, he's indulging in wishful thinking."
"Speaking of which, I wonder how many times stronger the multiple choice has become after this promotion to Fourth Tier?"
Unlike other talents which are written clearly, only the multiple choice requires Zhang Yanhang to test each time separately. But fortunately, the multiple choice itself is admittedly too powerful, so Zhang Yanhang can bear with this small flaw.
To test how much the multiple choice has strengthened after promoting to Fourth Tier, Zhang Yanhang plans to use his old method, randomly finding a big spender to transfer money to him.
After consuming about two energy value points, Zhang Yanhang received a message on his phone stating his account balance increased by one million, "With just three sentences, I got the big spender to transfer me a million; I am such a lecturer proficient in human nature."
"I remember before, in Third Tier, one point of my energy value could only get me twenty-five thousand yuan, but now, on average, I get five hundred thousand per point, equivalent to a twenty-fold increase in strength?"
Zhang Yanhang recalls that in Second Tier, one point of energy value earned him two thousand five hundred yuan, so now the strength of his multiple choice is two hundred times that of Second Tier.
As for First Tier, it's even more absurd; back then, one point of energy value only got five hundred yuan, so now his Fourth Tier multiple choice strength is shockingly a thousand times that of the First Tier period.
"The strength of the multiple choice truly turned ridiculous gradually; with my current 13,920 energy value points, can't I obtain 6.96 billion all at once? That's nearly seventy billion...
But even seventy billion doesn't hold much use for me now, after all, I long ago passed that stage where money was a necessity."
Zhang Yanhang doesn't buy houses or cars, not even clothes or food; there's nothing in life that requires money.
One might say that Zhang Yanhang, now successfully in the 'Immortal Land' phase after promoting to Fourth Tier, is nearly able to detach from human society.
After all, with reproductive isolation, strictly speaking, he now belongs to a higher life form, naturally distanced from ordinary humans, and the joys and sorrows of the human level mostly no longer relate to him at all.
