After upgrading Gun Mastery·Original LV.6, Zhang Yanhang had nothing much to do, as all the treasure box gains, including soul points, had been settled.
Thus, Zhang Yanhang organized the various items on the ground into his waist bag and then skillfully opened his data panel to start checking.

"Compared to last time, this time, due to not being able to gather enough [Muscle Regeneration]talent to upgrade the XX level talent Sea House Addition, the attribute list and talent list have not changed, only the skill list and Life Value Limit have had some changes."
Of course, the change in the balance of soul points is also relatively large, since after upgrading his skills last time, he only had a little over six million soul points left in total, but this time nearly nineteen million soul points remain, almost three times the previous amount, he hasn't had this many soul points left for a long time.
Although Zhang Yanhang actually doesn't want to have so many soul points remaining, because it's kind of frustrating not being able to upgrade a skill due to being just a few hundred thousand soul points short.
"Previously, or rather since entering the Umbrella Biological Experiment Zone, only the Life Value Limit and the Shield Value Limit have changed, but this time even the Energy Value Limit has also changed. However, the change in the Energy Value Limit is not an increase but rather a reverse reduction of twenty points in the Energy Value Limit.
Clearly, the gap between the Energy Value Limit and the Life Value Limit was already very large, and now this reverse reduction has again widened the gap, and with the Life Value Limit increasing again, the gap has grown from the original 2.4 times to 2.45 times."
After getting the coin equipment, Zhang Yanhang has completely given up hope of obtaining items to increase the Energy Value Limit in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, since there really is no hope at the moment.
So, I can only wait and see if there's any way to compensate after promoting to the Fifth Tier, but frankly, bridging a gap of over twenty thousand points is really tough to fill all at once, but anyway, it definitely needs to be filled, how will I know if I can succeed if I don't even try?
"This time, I only upgraded the Gun Mastery·Original LV.6 in terms of the skill list, still missing the Fighting Master upgrade, once I upgrade the Fighting Master, it would be perfect, although LV.6 doesn't look very harmonious actually."
Compared to LV.6, Zhang Yanhang still prefers LV.MAX, after all, skills like the Supreme Will and No Taboos cannot be further upgraded and can only remain at LV.MAX, so compared to a row of LV.6 with several LV.MAX mixed in, having all LV.MAX is definitely more pleasing to the eye.
Hmm, it's worth mentioning that he really doesn't have OCD.
"By the way, I wonder if the Three-Headed Six-Armed skill can still be upgraded, it would be great if it could continue to be promoted."
Zhang Yanhang feels that his equipment slots are still a bit insufficient, if he could grow a few more heads and arms, it would certainly significantly improve the situation, hmm, the most important thing is that it would also greatly enhance his strength.
In some way, Zhang Yanhang feels that the Fifth Tier is worth looking forward to, because the Three-Headed Six-Armed is just currently unable to further improve after one promotion, if it still can't be improved after continuously promoting tiers, then there's truly no hope.
After checking the data panel, Zhang Yanhang glanced at the time and found it was already past midnight, with only about five hours left until the transmission channel in Raccoon City closes.
"Although it took over two hours to hunt, open treasure boxes, and clear the gains, given the current situation, time is still fairly sufficient, since there are still more than five hours left, and only two-fifths of the monsters in the Umbrella Biological Experiment Zone remain, I believe it will definitely not be difficult to clear them before the transmission channel closes."
Although the suburban area is large, covering 25,000 square kilometers, its monster density is relatively low, so for Zhang Yanhang, who spends most of his time opening treasure boxes and organizing gains, it's actually not too bad, according to past clearing efficiency, it would take at most two to three hours to clear.
Moreover, his recent increase in movement speed should logically lead to improved clearing efficiency.
But compared to previous times, after digesting the gains, Zhang Yanhang did not rush into hunting monsters but first teleported to the Lucky Slot Machine to check it out. He found that the Lucky Slot Machine had not refreshed its prize pool, which remained empty.
"If it hasn't updated after midnight, then the Lucky Slot Machine in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field zone is likely linked to the same refresh time as the one in Raccoon City, which is at five in the morning."
Zhang Yanhang quite likes this refresh time at five in the morning since it means he can get a free try before leaving.
But whether he can succeed in a free try will only be revealed after five in the morning. Besides five o'clock, the Lucky Slot Machine in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field might refresh during daytime hours outside his coverage, which he dislikes the most.
"Regardless, since the Lucky Slot Machine hasn't refreshed, let's start hunting monsters."
As he spoke, Zhang Yanhang teleported from the Lucky Slot Machine to the outskirts of Umbrella City, which is the last uncleared part of Umbrella City. After clearing this area, he can proceed to the final fifth stage and sixth stage cleanup plans.
...
November 2nd, Monday, the first day after Halloween, also Zhang Yanhang's second day in the Ashen World. Midnight, at twenty minutes past midnight, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Umbrella City downtown.
[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star monster 'Z-39 type Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank [air-land dual use] (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +2800.]
[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star monster 'Z-39 type Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank [air-land dual use] (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +2800.]
[Successfully killed Fourth Tier One-star monster 'Z-39 type Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank [air-land dual use] (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +2800.]
...
Zhang Yanhang is still flying in the sky using Death Wave to continuously hunt monsters. Though only four minutes have passed, Zhang Yanhang has already cleared about 1320 square kilometers.
It has to be said, after the movement speed increase, Zhang Yanhang indeed feels noticeably improved hunting efficiency.
Although it didn't reach his previous estimate of clearing six square kilometers per second, at least it improved from clearing five square kilometers to 5.5 square kilometers per second, improving clearing efficiency by 0.5 square kilometers per second, which is quite decent.
After all, this improvement came from just one Movement Speed Coin, and with a few more Attack Speed Coins, clearing six square kilometers per second should be easy, perhaps even achievable with one more Movement Speed Coin.
"The total area to be cleared in the fourth stage of the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field is about 3600 square kilometers. I've already cleared about 1320 square kilometers, leaving about 2280 square kilometers still needing clearance."
If Zhang Yanhang's current clearing progress were converted to a percentage, it would be about 36.7%, just over one-third.
"Although there's still quite a lot left, given my continuously improving hunting efficiency, I should be able to complete the clearance within seven or eight more minutes."
Incidentally, Zhang Yanhang hasn't encountered the Fourth Tier Two-star Electromagnetic Railgun yet. According to his scan results, these are mainly located deep within Umbrella City, while he is currently clearing relatively peripheral regions.
"If calculating the total progress of the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field clearance, I've previously cleared 11200 square kilometers plus the recent 1320 square kilometers, making a total of 12520 square kilometers. Converted to percentage, that's about 31.3%."
Though not yet one-third, it's already close. Once the entire Umbrella City is cleared, it will definitely exceed one-third.
Although logically half of the time has passed, leaving only about five and a half hours, Zhang Yanhang isn't anxious. He's confident in his current hunting efficiency.
Even if he fails to return to the Main World before the Raccoon City Transmission Channel closes, there's still a Transmission Channel in Goblin Plain leading to India to look forward to.
Well, perhaps not worth anticipating, as during his many visits to the Ashen World, he hasn't seen the Transmission Channel open once—a possible time conflict with the Raccoon City Transmission Channel.
Moreover, after completing the third stage, Zhang Yanhang could check the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box, but nothing similar exists for the fourth stage. Only after executing the fifth stage cleanup plan will he encounter the Achievement Vending Machine in the suburbs.
...
November 2nd, Monday, the first day after Halloween, also Zhang Yanhang's second day in the Ashen World. Midnight, twenty-four minutes past midnight, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Umbrella City center.
After clearing continuously for another four minutes, nearing the complete cleanup of Umbrella City, Zhang Yanhang finally encounters the Electromagnetic Railgun mentioned in the previous Evaluation Settlement List in the city center.
It must be said, these Electromagnetic Railguns really resemble common railway train guns, with carriages over a hundred meters long, equipped with various high-powered weapons.
According to Zhang Yanhang's scans, the internal structure of these Electromagnetic Railguns is similar to the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank, filled with flesh tissue to control the weapons.
In some ways, using flesh tissue might be better than AI artificial intelligence as it alleviates signal concerns, yet Zhang Yanhang firmly believes AI artificial intelligence is preferable—it's more cost-effective, potentially enhancing combat strength.
"Despite Umbrella company's status as a leading biotechnology monopoly, there's no need for such peculiar specialization in this area."
Of course, the flesh tissues might indeed strengthen the tanks and railguns, though Zhang Yanhang personally hasn't noticed any difference.
