Ashen God

Chapter 812: Earth's Curvature and the Mach Ring


But after all, there are five quality levels between Dark Purple Quality and Orange Quality, so Zhang Yanhang can understand such an extent of enhancement, and he is actually quite happy. After all, the stronger he becomes, the greater his benefits naturally are.

"The additional Six Roots Pure Skill attributes have been multiplied by ten compared to before. Previously, it could only boost to 200 bullets per second, but now it has increased by 1800, directly increasing the rate of fire to 2000 bullets per second. However, the cooldown time is still the same as before, requiring sixty seconds to cool down completely."

Of course, since Zhang Yanhang has a 22.5% reduction in skill cooldown time, the actual situation does not really require sixty seconds. After the skill cooldown reduction, the cooldown time can be reduced by 13.5 seconds, finally requiring only 46.5 seconds.

"The Five Elements are All Emptiness aspect originally took an hour to generate a new magazine, and could only exist up to ten at a time. However, now it takes half an hour to generate one and can exist up to twenty magazines at a time. So, actually, just like before, it takes ten hours to fully restore the magazine.

Just because the magazine capacity has increased enormously, the consumption needed to generate a magazine using energy value alone has also become larger. Previously, only fifty points were needed to generate one magazine, but now it has increased twenty times, requiring 1000 points of energy value to generate a new magazine."

Even with Zhang Yanhang's current energy value limit, he can only generate a dozen magazines at once. Fortunately, he may lack other things now, but energy is not one of them. 1000 points of energy value for him is just a matter of less than a minute and can be fully restored quickly.

Unless the battle is so intense that a 10,000-round machine gun magazine is emptied in half a minute, otherwise, he could act as a perpetual motion machine.

"After the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun was enhanced by the Forging Hammer, an orange-quality artifact by Fire God Hephaestus, it unsurprisingly directly became an orange-quality weapon with a full score.

However, this kind of overly crude enhancement also increased the usage requirements of the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun along with its quality to a Fifth Tier Standard, requiring 125 points of Strength and 120 points of Intelligence to use."

For equipment like those Zhang Yanhang upgraded normally through fusion or met conditions to upgrade, such as the Four Great Emptiness Purifying World Fist and Tarot Card Set, their usage requirements are generally low.

But this time, the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun, which directly upgraded from Dark Purple over five qualities to Orange, instead made the usage requirements higher, which might be considered a downside of this kind of enhancement artifact.

Luckily, it's not a big deal. Zhang Yanhang's Hundred Taboos Skill allows him to forcibly use the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun, ignoring usage requirements, with no cost, fully equivalent to normal use.

After checking the orange-quality Six Roots Pure Soul Gun, Zhang Yanhang quickly tested the actual flight speed of the current Six Roots Pure Soul Gun's machine gun bullets, as this point was not annotated in the attribute list.

As Zhang Yanhang pulled the trigger, machine gun bullets as thick as an adult's thigh shot out from the barrel, flying toward the distance surrounded by Mach rings.

As for where these machine gun bullets flew later, Zhang Yanhang did not know. Due to the limitation of Earth's curvature and the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil scan range, he couldn't see the subsequent flight trajectory. Those machine gun bullets almost instantly flew out of his visual limit.

A while later, Zhang Yanhang heard a series of unending explosions in the distance, but fortunately, the Pacific Ocean was nearby, so there was no need to worry about hitting anyone.

According to the actual test results, the attack speed bonus Zhang Yanhang received previously still takes effect on the currently upgraded orange-quality Six Roots Pure Soul Gun.

With these attack speed bonuses, Zhang Yanhang's Six Roots Pure Soul Gun's shooting speed increased from the basic 1000 rounds per second to 3390 rounds per second, increasing 2390 rounds per second.

"Previously, it only took me 1.5 seconds to empty a magazine, but now after a huge increase in magazine capacity, it takes three seconds to empty a magazine. However, the bullets fired are ten times the original and have evolved from cannonballs the size of a coke bottle to cannonballs as thick as an adult's thigh.

So overall, at least tens of times stronger."

Besides the shooting speed of the machine gun bullets, Zhang Yanhang is also very concerned about their flight speed. According to his observation, under his own attack speed bonuses, the current flight speed of the machine gun bullets should be about 81 Mach.

Regarding deducing the machine gun bullets' initial speed from this speed, Zhang Yanhang thinks it should be about 24 Mach.

"As expected of an orange-quality full-score equipment, starting with an attack speed of 24 Mach, which is eight times the previous three Mach.

Taking the three Mach flight speed of the original Dark Purple Quality Six Roots Pure Soul Gun as a benchmark, it is reasonable for Light Gold to increase by three Mach, Golden to increase by six Mach, Dark Gold to increase by six Mach, and Orange by six Mach."

According to the kinetic energy calculation formula, Zhang Yanhang believes that the current 81 Mach machine gun bullets should have at least a sixty-fold increase in power compared to the previous 10 Mach bullets.

Moreover, what is the concept of an orange-quality weapon? An orange-quality weapon represents being able to harm Fifth Tier enemies with just this simple weapon. After all, it should be impossible for a Fifth Tier weapon to not harm a Fifth Tier enemy, right? That would be too funny. Otherwise, what would be considered a Fifth Tier weapon?

So, Zhang Yanhang estimates that the overall power increase of the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun should be at least a hundredfold. After all, there is at least a tenfold difference between each rank, and after the Third Tier weapon upgrades to a Fifth Tier weapon, achieving a ten-by-ten time, a hundred times increase is very basic. The total power increase multiple of the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun is definitely much higher than this.

But to determine exactly how many times it has increased, it's still necessary to find a stronger monster to actually test and judge.

"81 Mach is said to be fast, equivalent to three times the terminal speed of an intercontinental ballistic missile, but it doesn't seem very fast. After all, just now my punch speed with Spiritual Qi Blessing is fifty Mach..."

Zhang Yanhang estimates that before he gets promoted, he should be able to make his punch speed faster than the machine gun bullets' 81 Mach. The problem is, if he gets attack speed bonuses, the machine gun bullets also get bonuses, so even reaching 81 Mach might not be difficult, but surpassing the machine gun bullets might still be challenging.

"Now that I've tested the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun, what should I do next?" Zhang Yanhang thought carefully for a while, finding nothing else that needed resolving, seemingly able to go home directly to rest.

Feeling there was indeed nothing else to do, Zhang Yanhang put the Six Roots Pure Soul Gun into his waist bag and immediately initiated teleportation.

......

On October 30th, Friday, the fifth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 12:15 p.m., in the Main World, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, apartment 505, bedroom.

With nothing to do, Zhang Yanhang is lying lazily on his bed in the bedroom, thinking about whether to ask the group leader about advancing to the Fourth Tier. He felt he really should ask, and so immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to the group leader.

Zhang Yanhang figured the group leader might be in the Main World now. He saw people in the group congratulating the leader on advancing to the Fifth Tier. He remembered the leader had indeed told him about this before, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "If you're here, just speak up."

Curse Binding Vajra: "Get lost!"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."

Curse Binding Vajra: "What is it after all? If there's nothing, I have things to do."

Curse Binding Vajra: "And how many times have I told you, stop asking if I'm here! Can you just get to the point if there's something?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I saw you were promoted to the Fifth Tier, so I wanted to ask about the precautions for Fourth Tier Awakened."

Curse Binding Vajra: "What does this have to do with my promotion to the Fifth Tier?"

Having just been promoted to the Fifth Tier and feeling pretty good, Gu Mingyue was leisurely lying on the bed eating offerings (gifts) when suddenly a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It's actually nothing, but after seeing you get promoted to the Fifth Tier last night, I was very excited."

Curse Binding Vajra: "What are you talking about? What excitement?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "As everyone knows, the constitution of people cannot be generalized, so in such an extremely excited state, I went to the Ashen World overnight to brush a new area and reached the Peak Third Tier."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "And then I naturally ascended to the Fourth Tier, isn't this a very reasonable explanation for an Awakener?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "Are you kidding?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "You just advanced to the Third Tier yesterday, how could you possibly ascend to the Fourth Tier today?"

Gu Mingyue felt like Zhang Yanhang was joking, but at the same time, it didn't seem like a joke, and that bad premonition was increasing.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I'm not joking, and actually I didn't expect to ascend so fast, I had originally planned for the promotion to take two weeks, but who knew it would take just a day..."

Curse Binding Vajra: "Gan Lin, you must be a dog!"

Even though Zhang Yanhang hadn't provided concrete evidence, Gu Mingyue believed this was likely true, so she felt a bit out of control emotionally.

The thought that she had spent so much time preparing for the Fifth Tier promotion and then turned to see Zhang Yanhang ascend from the Third Tier to the Fourth Tier in just one day made her feel like her mind was blown. She couldn't help but want to curse, and the sweet offerings in her hand started to taste like wax.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "...?"

Zhang Yanhang couldn't understand why the group master suddenly started cursing; previously, the group master was quite polite.

Luckily, due to the frequent provocations by Zhang Yanhang, Gu Mingyue had somewhat gotten used to it, so she quickly collected herself, although she indeed lost her appetite for the offerings. She felt that the offerings all around were mocking her in silence.

Moreover, after calming down, she suddenly remembered something.

Curse Binding Vajra: "You didn't happen to go to Yellow Sea just now, did you?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "I did go, is there a problem?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "What did you go to Yellow Sea for?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Nothing much, I just got promoted to Fourth Tier, and suddenly felt an overwhelming excitement..."

Curse Binding Vajra: "And then ascended to Fifth Tier?"

Gu Mingyue now had a bit of an allergy to the words "overwhelming excitement."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Not quite, not quite, just did a simple power test."

Curse Binding Vajra: "Oh, it was a power test..."

Curse Binding Vajra: "Wait, did you say power test?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Is there a problem?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "Goodness, so the unknown Awakener who nearly punched a hole through Yellow Sea's crust was you! The related departments used the Divination system and couldn't figure out the identity, but if it's you, it makes sense. After all, you do have the ability to block them, right? You did it once before."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "?"

Curse Binding Vajra: "Are you pretending? When the seaquake happened in Yellow Sea, the entire Qin Island City felt it! And you, with related abilities, were coincidentally testing power in Yellow Sea..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Was the quake that noticeable? I specifically faced away from Qin Island City to throw punches..."

Curse Binding Vajra: "The departments brought gifts asking me to help locate this unknown Awakener, and today you've just walked right up to me."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Wow, so ruthless?"

Zhang Yanhang started to consider whether he should run away, but then he remembered his 'friendship' with the group master, so maybe the group master wouldn't report him?

Then again, since the departments have just given gifts to the group master, she might report him for the sake of those gifts, right?
