With that said, when the soul points he had obtained from killing zombies were added, Zhang Yanhang's soul point balance exceeded three hundred, which meant he might be able to upgrade to LV.4.
Item Three
Option One: Slow Corrosion, Quality E, Talent
Option Two: T-Virus Carrier (Evolution Failure), Quality F, Talent
Option Three: Neurasthenia, Quality F, Talent
"I used to be envious of zombies having two Talents, but who would have thought that Talents could also come from treasure boxes? But now the question is, what use do I have for these worthless Talents?"
Zhang Yanhang checked the attribute list of these Talents and found them similar to those he had seen on zombies before, only with the addition of neurasthenia. However, the effect of neurasthenia was particularly useless, mainly enhancing the host's sensitivity to sound and light by inducing insomnia, depression, and mania.
Basically, choosing this effect was equivalent to actually suffering from neurasthenia that persisted for a lifetime, with no cure—neither injections, medication, nor therapy would work.
Slow Corrosion
Quality: E
Ability One: Unwearied—In zombie state, the rotting speed is reduced by 90%, and the physical strength consumption speed is reduced by 90%.
Ability Two: Energetic—Physical Strength +10%.
"Although these Talents seem pretty useless, I'll still choose the highest-quality Slow Corrosion. It looks trashy, but it might be useful," said Zhang Yanhang. He found the main utility in the Slow Corrosion Talent, which at least had a separate bonus effect, that is the 'Physical Strength +10%'.
Item Four
Option One: 1 Soul Point
Option Two: 5 Soul Points
Option Three: 10 Soul Points
"Another 10 soul points, then upgrading to LV.4 should be a sure thing," thought Zhang Yanhang, already planning his next zombie hunting venture. Since he had already cleared out all the zombies in the Dulda Apartment, his next step would likely involve cleaning the nearby streets and buildings.
Item Five
Option One: 1 Soul Point
Option Two: 5 Soul Points
Option Three: 10 Soul Points
"Huh? Another 10 soul points? Could it be possible to get 30 soul points from one treasure box? This is too generous to me…" he recalculated. If the other nine treasure boxes also contained thirty soul points, then he could gain three hundred soul points just from opening treasure boxes.
Even though these three hundred soul points were merely an option from the 'Goblin's Prank Box,' it still made Zhang Yanhang unavoidably happy. After learning that even a First Tier One Star monster was only worth three soul points, he had fully realized how hard life was.
......
Out of ten drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang opened only nine. He saved the one dropped by the Teacup dog zombie, planning to open it at a more opportune time since he now had enough soul points to upgrade to LV.4.
Soul Points: 384 (+250)
Zhang Yanhang counted his gains from the nine treasure boxes. First, he considered the types of boxes; two were dropped by Police Zombies, while the other seven were from other zombies. Thus, he had collected two hundred and fifty soul points, bringing his soul points balance to three hundred and eighty-four.
As for artifacts, Zhang Yanhang had opened a total of twelve Green Medicine Grass, nine Red Medicine Herbs, and two copies of the Combat Training Safety Action Manual.
Red Medicine Herb
Quality: Green
Type: Artifact
Origin: Ashen World, Raccoon City, Umbrella Company Base, Laboratory Plantation.
Usage Effect: Slightly enhances the Physical Recovery Speed.
Usage Requirements: None.
Score: 11 (Green Quality items are scored between 11 and 30.)
Summary: A red transgenic medicinal herb accidentally discovered by Umbrella company while developing a virus. After experimentation revealed its miraculous effects, small-scale cultivation began, and it was also progressively discovered that mixing this red transgenic medicinal herb with other transgenic medicinal herbs could enhance its effects, for more details see the Laboratory Work Log recipe section... ▼Click to expand.
Although this Red Medicine Herb seemed useless and of no value, Zhang Yanhang, having played Resident Evil games, actually knew its use, just like in the summary, it needed to be mixed with other herbs to unleash its true potential.
While the summary didn't mention the recipe, Zhang Yanhang had picked up the recipe in the games. Simply put, mixing the Red herb and the Green herb in a one-to-one ratio would enhance the life value restoring effect of the Green herb.
But the issue was that in the game, Zhang Yanhang just clicked the mouse to combine them easily, whereas, in reality, he had no idea how to combine the two herbs. The game showed the combined result as a powdered substance made from two mixed up herbs.
Therefore, based on this icon, Zhang Yanhang could at least deduce one step—that was, to crush the herbs into powder first.
But making this with his bare hands was just too troublesome, and considering he now had a bunch of medicinal herbs, he decided to try his luck with the almighty Alchemy, not caring even if it didn't succeed because he had plenty of herbs to waste.
If successful, it would save Zhang Yanhang the hassle of manually combining them by hand.
"It's time for Alchemy to show its capabilities again, hoping for success in one go." Zhang Yanhang summarized the specific alchemy process in two steps: first, crushing the Red Medicine Herb and the Green herb into powder, and second, combining the two powders into a pill.
Watching a red and green pill slowly form at the center of the Alchemy Array, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that he had rolled Mud into shapes using a similar method not long ago, and suddenly felt a bit of complex emotions.
Some with a good sense of artistry might question why mixing a Red herb and a Green herb does not make a yellow pill, but this is due to a little-known fact related to esoteric studies, hence the red and green pill.
After finishing making the pill, Zhang Yanhang immediately checked the attribute list. Although he felt that he was most likely successful, only after seeing the attribute list would he know the specific effects.
