"So, I choose '1200 Soul Points', '1200 Soul Points', '1200 Soul Points', 'Makarov's Regret', and 'The Power of Ants'."
Zhang Yanhang quickly made a choice after looking at the five items. Zhang Yanhang felt quite disappointed that he could not get the concentrated hormone of the Red Iron Ant King in the Red Iron Ant King's treasure chest this time.
"It is obviously the hormone produced by the red iron ant king itself, but why can't it be found in its treasure chest? Is it because the red iron ant king left all the hormones in the red iron ant queen?"
Although there is no concentrated hormone of the Red Iron Ant King in the treasure box of the Red Iron Ant King, Zhang Yanhang still has a treasure box of the same purple quality dropped from the lord monster Red Iron Ant Queen. He feels that this
There may be some hope in it that you can prescribe the concentrated hormone of the red iron ant king.
When he thought of this, Zhang Yanhang immediately picked up the dropped treasure box from the red iron ant queen.
[Do you want to enable ‘Treasure Box Drop (Hematite Queen)’? 】
"Yes, open it." Unlike the previous Red Iron Ant King, the Red Iron Ant Queen is a lord monster. Zhang Yanhang has great expectations for its treasure chest. He remembers that the treasure chest of the Tracker, who was also a lord monster, was in the treasure chest.
Several dark purple items were opened.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang feels that the Red Iron Ant Queen is probably similar in this regard, and can definitely produce multiple dark purple items.
As the most powerful lord monster in the Hematite Ant Nest, Zhang Yanhang not only wants to get the Hematite Queen Ant's concentrated hormone from the Hematite Queen's treasure chest, but also wants to get the Hematite Queen Hormone Essence produced by it itself.
, he is also a lord monster after all, so Zhang Yanhang feels that his request is not too excessive.

"I hope there will be more options for soul points this time, so that I can quickly collect the 50,000 soul points needed to improve the invulnerability skill."
According to Zhang Yanhang's experience, the soul point option in the monster treasure chest can generally give you soul points worth about ten times the value of the monster itself, and lord monsters are no exception.
Therefore, if you can get three options related to soul points like a normal treasure chest, then Zhang Yanhang can even save a lot of soul points for upgrading the Indestructible Golden Body X and Supreme Will after upgrading the Invincible Skill.
X.
【Item 1】
[Option 1: Hematite queen ant hormone essence, quality purple, props]
[Option 2: King Red Iron Ant Concentrated Hormone, Quality Purple, Props]
[Option 3: Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence (solid compressed), quality dark purple, props]
"Emmm... How should I put it? Although I did get both the 'Hematite Queen Ant Concentrated Hormone' and the 'Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence (Solid State Compression)' in the treasure chest of the Hematite Queen, but this
The form of the meeting was a little different from what I imagined."
The ideal situation that Zhang Yanhang had envisioned before was that 'Red Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone' and 'Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence (Solid Compressed)' appeared as two separate items in two rows of option boxes.
But now these two items appear in the same row of option boxes, which means that Zhang Yanhang can only choose one of them and give up the other.
As for which one Zhang Yanhang will give up, the situation is naturally very obvious. He will choose to give up the only purple quality 'Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Concentrate' and instead choose the higher quality 'Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence (Solid State Compression)'
.
"By the way, does this Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence drop to purple quality just because it lacks a step of solid state compression?"
Zhang Yanhang briefly checked the attribute list of the Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence, and found that the effect of this thing is the same as the Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Concentrate, which can only increase the charm attribute value by two points.
Moreover, the introduction of this product also specifically states that this Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence is a semi-finished raw material specially used to make ‘Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence (Solid State Compression)’.
"Oh, it's a pity that the Queen and King of Red Iron Ants are dead now. Otherwise, I really want to study carefully what part of the substances in Hematite have been absorbed by this hormone that can increase the charm attribute.
.
If the composition of this part of the material can be clarified, then I may be able to forge equipment with charm attribute bonuses by myself."
If Zhang Yanhang's idea can be successful, then as long as he gives himself a few more new accessories equipped in different positions, he should soon be able to raise his charm attribute to more than 40 points, although now Zhang Yanhang also
It's already very close to forty o'clock.
Zhang Yanhang's charm attribute at this time is 32 points. He can add another three points of charm later by using the 'Hematite Queen Ant Hormone Essence (Solid State Compression)'.
Then adding in the charm brought by 'Makarov's Regret', his charm attribute can be immediately raised to thirty-six points, which is only the last four points away from forty points.
【Item 2】
[Option 1: Ant power, quality level E, talent]
[Option 2: Red iron ant (ant king), quality level C, talent]
[Option 3: Red Iron Ant (Queen Ant), quality level C, talent]
"It's amazing that I didn't encounter soul points for two consecutive options..." Zhang Yanhang thought that the racial talent of the Red Iron Ant Queen should be a C-level talent when he opened the treasure chest of the Red Iron Ant King. Looking at it now, he
The prediction at that time was indeed quite accurate.
The two consecutive second-level four-star lord monsters, the Tracker and the Red Iron Ant Queen, both have C-level talents. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang estimates that B-level racial talents are indeed only possible to see on third-level monsters.
Although Zhang Yanhang's current attributes have not yet reached the peak level of the second level, Zhang Yanhang is still quite confident in killing level 3 monsters. After all, since he can kill level 2 monsters at the first level,
If you already have a level 2 monster, there is no reason why you can still only fight level 2 monsters after being promoted to level 2.
Of course, the third-order monsters Zhang Yanhang mentioned here only refer to those third-order monsters with relatively low star ratings, such as third-order one-star monsters or third-order two-star monsters.
As for the higher-level third-level three-star or even third-level four-star monsters, Zhang Yanhang does not have much confidence. Because of the large attribute gap, even if he can defeat them, it will probably be more difficult.
【Item 3】
[Option 1: Red iron ant king, quality purple, pet]
[Option 2: 12,000 soul points]
[Option 3: 24,000 soul points]
"I just said that even the Red Iron Ant King might not be able to be found in the Red Iron Ant Queen's treasure chest. As a result, it was immediately revealed. Isn't this a slap in the face?"
The previous treasure chest of the Red Iron Ant King did not have any pet-related options because there were no blue quality Red Iron Ants in the Red Iron Ant Nest. Therefore, Zhang Yanhang thought at the time that the Treasure Box of the Red Iron Ant Queen might also have this reason.
The pet-related options disappeared due to some reasons, but it turned out that he was completely wrong.
"But even though the purple-quality Red Iron Ant King did appear, I still prefer those 24,000 soul points compared to the useless Red Iron Ant King."
Including the profit from the treasure box, each red iron worker ant can bring Zhang Yanhang 7.5 soul points on average. Therefore, if Zhang Yanhang wants to collect all 24,000 soul points, he will need to kill at least 3,200 ants in a row.
Hematite worker ants, this is equivalent to 40% of the total number of hematite worker ants.
"Any option in the Hematite Queen's treasure chest is worth 40% of Hematite Worker Ants. If there is another option with soul points, it can be worth 80% of Hematite Worker Ants.
And if there are three soul point options available in the red iron ant queen's treasure chest, then the soul point income of one red iron ant queen is as high as the soul point income that can be obtained by hunting the entire red iron ant nest.
Therefore, I hope that the next two items can both become soul point-related options. In this case, in addition to being able to upgrade the Invulnerability skill this time, I should also be able to upgrade the Death Wave skill."
If the treasure chest of the Red Iron Ant Queen can really bring such huge soul point benefits, then Zhang Yanhang feels that he no longer needs to kill ordinary monsters. Every time he goes to a new area, he only needs to kill the lord monster in it and then...
You can run away directly.
In this way, Zhang Yanhang's efficiency in obtaining soul points should be enhanced at an epic level, and the speed of promotion to the third level is expected to be unprecedentedly fast. As for the improvement of strength, that is not necessarily the case. There is a high probability that it will occur.
It happens that despite having been promoted to a higher rank, the increase in strength is not very large.
But because level suppression is actually a very happy thing, so if Zhang Yanhang can really quickly raise his level to a relatively high level, then it is not a bad idea to take that path. Of course, the premise of all this is
How many options regarding soul points can be found in the treasure chest of the lord monster?
If there is only one, then this path will naturally be completely unreachable. And if there are three like ordinary monsters, then level suppression is actually a broad road. After all, as long as the own attribute value is high enough, even if there are no additional bonuses,
It works, but if you want to suppress low-level enemies, it is definitely enough.
【Item 4】
[Option 1: Heart of Hematite, Quality Blue, Equipment]
[Option 3: Makarov's Regret, quality dark purple, equipment]
"Alas, the fourth item is not a soul point option. It seems that that unimagined road has ended without any cause before I even had time to step on it." Zhang Yanhang sighed silently, but even if the soul points were not opened, it might be possible.
Zhang Yanhang was actually very happy to open the dark purple equipment.
"I originally thought that the Makarov series of equipment could only be found in the treasure chest of the Red Iron Ant King, but I didn't expect that the Makarov series of equipment could also be found in the Red Iron Ant Queen's treasure chest. If not
If nothing else goes wrong, this 'Makarov's Regret' should be another earring that makes up the set."
Although he hadn't had time to look at the thumbnail and attribute list, just by looking at the name, Zhang Yanhang felt that this piece of equipment was definitely another earring. After all, it's impossible for one to suddenly appear when the naming style is so similar.
It’s a piece of equipment that you don’t want to turn off at all, right?
After briefly checking the thumbnail and confirming that it was indeed another earring, Zhang Yanhang quickly opened the attribute list of 'Makarov's Regret' and began to check its bonus effects.
【Makarov's Regret】
[Quality: dark purple]
[Type: Equipment]
[Origin: World of Ashes, Hematite Veins, Small Hematite Ant Nest Daragu, Unnamed Blacksmith. 】
[Rating: 260 (dark purple items have a rating of 151 to 260.)]
[Set Effect 1: Makarov’s Gift (two-piece set unlocks attributes)]
[Introduction: As the situation gradually escalated, in addition to nearby customers, even the lord who once asked me to make hematite dentures secretly sent his men to ask for an explanation from me. Faced with the irrefutable facts, I was completely unable to make any decision.
If he made any objections, he would have to accept the punishment obediently.
But the amount of the fine was so huge that I couldn't pay it out even if I sold it, so in this case I had no choice but to carry my blacksmith shop and flee the city overnight.
But before escaping, in order to take revenge on the lord, I widely publicized the fact that the lord had forged dentures here and still wears them in my mouth. Not only did I tell the tavern proprietress, but also the surrounding people.
The aunts on the street, I believe they will not let me down.
Alas, in the end I ended up living the way I hate the most, but the feeling of dying together was surprisingly good. Now I seem to understand a little bit what the alchemist thought at the time, but the only regret I have is that I probably won’t be able to do it again in the future.
Hematite equipment is sold through normal channels.
——From an unknown blacksmith who escaped into the mountains incognito]
"This introduction feels somewhat consistent. No wonder he is the unknown blacksmith. It turns out that he chose to remain anonymous after running away. The story has finally reached its finale..."
Regarding the Hematite series of equipment, Zhang Yanhang feels that their introductions are really amazing. When strung together, it turns out to be a complete short story. It tells the story of an unknown blacksmith who became famous and made a lot of money because of his excellent skills, but also made a lot of money because of his bad habits.
However, hiding in the deep mountains unexpectedly has some educational significance.
When Zhang Yanhang was checking the thumbnail of the 'Makarov's Regret' before, he found that its appearance was exactly the same as that of another 'Makarov's Regret'. Perhaps it was because of the same appearance that the two were confused.
The attribute bonus effects are similar.
"Makarov's Regret also increases fire resistance and acid resistance by 17.5%, and there are also three attribute value bonuses, but the objects of these three attribute bonuses are the same as the previous Makarov's Regret.
Regret is a little different.
The previous Makarov's Regret added a little charm, strength and agility. Although this Makarov's Regret also added a little charm, the other two attribute bonuses became a little constitution and a little
intelligence."
Although it is not yet possible to check the effect of Makarov's suit, even now, Zhang Yanhang can already get a one-point bonus to all four main attributes, and a two-point bonus to the secondary attribute charm, if it can be activated again
If it has a suit effect, you can definitely get more attribute bonuses.
"But although I have collected the Makarov suit now, I still need to brush up the third prize pool of the slot machine. After all, if the treasure chest of the Red Iron Ant King can open another Makarov series of equipment,
, then I can improve the quality level of the equipment through fusion and increase the bonus effect accordingly."
Because Makarov's Regret and Makarov's Regret are both dark purple equipment with full ratings, Zhang Yanhang only needs to fuse them once to evolve them into light golden equipment. By that time, these two pieces
The bonus effect of the equipment should directly usher in a leap.
"I just don't know if you can only get Makarov's Regret from the Red Iron Ant King's treasure chest, or if you can actually get both Makarov's. If you can only get Regret, it would be a bit of a pity, but if
If I can get two pieces of Makarov, I can put together a pale gold suit."
The highest quality equipment Zhang Yanhang has seen so far is only of light gold quality, but he never expected that a small hematite ant nest could actually allow him to obtain a light gold suit. It's really like an ant.
"Currently, I still have almost four days before I leave the Ashes World. If the slot machine is refreshed once a day and a red iron ant king is refreshed each time, I should be able to kill more before I leave the Ashes World.
Four red iron ant kings.
If there are four red iron ant kings, maybe we can really get a purple treasure chest again. After all, I killed three other red iron ant kings before.
Calculating based on the probability that killing eight or nine red iron ants in the previous stage will drop a treasure box on average, the probability that a treasure box will drop after killing seven red iron ant kings is quite high. In this way
, I might be able to fuse a pair of light golden quality Makarov earrings before leaving the ashes world.
But slot machines are slot machines. If you want to use slot machines to obtain the Makarov suit, you can only rely on time to slowly grind it. The fastest way to upgrade the Makarov suit to light gold is naturally to dig other roads leading to the red iron ants.
The tunnel of the nest.
Then go to the new and larger hematite ant nest to hunt other hematite ant kings and hematite queens, and obtain Makarov series equipment accordingly."
Zhang Yanhang feels that the things he wants to obtain from other red iron ant nests have increased again, but this time the additional goals are only to reach the final stage of the general cleanup plan of killing the red iron ant king and the red iron ant queen.
Only when the monster is contacted again can it be regained.
"Gate of Truth? Good guy, just seeing this name makes me feel like I'm about to be refined into the Philosopher's Stone..."
Although I don’t know if this Gate of Truth is the same Gate of Truth as the one in Fullmetal Alchemist, Zhang Yanhang feels that if he can go inside the Gate of Truth, then his alchemy level will definitely not be used.
Consuming the source of ash can directly increase the price.
Of course, with Zhang Yanhang's current weak strength, if he really goes to the Gate of Truth, maybe his alchemy level will really go up, but correspondingly, it is estimated that his sanity level will also go up at the same time.
If you go down, you will become a madman soon.
"But the name seems quite high-end, but the quality...how should I put it, is really a bit too low. It only has blue quality, which is really a bit of a stretch.
Also, another thing I want to complain about is why does this option still include hematite dentures and hematite heart? It has obviously appeared once in the fourth option, but it appears again in the fifth item.
Appeared once.
Is it because the unknown blacksmith has never forged other blue-quality hematite equipment since he escaped into the mountains incognito? Well, this may indeed be a possibility."
Zhang Yanhang will definitely not choose the recurring hematite dentures and hematite heart. Although he has not yet read the attribute list of the 'Divination Tarot Card·The Fool [Fake] (Gate of Truth)', he has decided not to care about it.
Regardless of the attributes of a divination tarot card, you must choose it.
After all, although they are of the same quality, preferring the new and hating the old is always an eternal principle. Compared with already owning a lot of hematite heart necklaces and hematite dentures, Zhang Yanhang feels that even if this new blue quality equipment is
Even if the bonus effect is really weak, it is still very good to collect.
Because Zhang Yanhang currently needs too many hematite heart necklaces to upgrade to the dark purple quality hematite heart +7, there is indeed no shortage of this one.
As for the hematite dentures, there is no need for them. He currently has a total of sixteen pairs of hematite dentures. If the transformation can be successful in the future, even if it is only fused to +3, he can be promoted to purple quality.
Not to mention that the sixteen sets of hematite dentures can actually be fused to +4, so he is not currently missing dentures.
Therefore, for the above reasons, Zhang Yanhang felt that instead of choosing one and waiting to go to a new hematite ant nest to get a lot of hematite dentures and hematite heart necklaces again, it would be better to simply get this piece.
