"So, I choose Option One, yes, go to the Ashen World immediately."

After making the choice, Zhang Yanhang's vision suddenly turned black, then red again, and he found himself in the all-too-familiar small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu.

But unlike before, Zhang Yanhang no longer needed to use Time Pause to scan the surrounding environment. With his current Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil range covering thousands of square kilometers, the mere forty square kilometers of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu could be scanned completely just by standing still.

After a simple scan, Zhang Yanhang found that the number of monsters refreshed in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu this time was quite large. Perhaps the refresh rate was getting faster over time. Although it had only been a few days since he last came, Zhang Yanhang noticed that nearly four thousand monsters had been refreshed in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu.

However, unlike before, with Zhang Yanhang's current Death Wave coverage, he could cover all four thousand monsters in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu in one go while standing still.

According to his scan, among the four thousand monsters, the most ordinary Crimson Iron Worker Ants accounted for about three thousand five hundred, while Crimson Iron Flying Ants made up about five hundred. The Crimson Iron Soldier Ants and Crimson Iron Breeding Ants, however, had not yet refreshed.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big issue. After all, Zhang Yanhang currently had no need for either the Crimson Iron Heart Necklace or the Crimson Iron Shark Teeth, so the absence of these did not matter. At most, it was a loss of a few thousand Soul points, which was insignificant to him.

Upon entering the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, Zhang Yanhang immediately unleashed a Death Wave. As the invisible twisting waves spread, his mind was quickly filled with thousands of kill notifications.

[Successfully killed First Tier One Star monster 'Crimson Iron Flying Ant (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +7.]

[Successfully killed First Tier One Star monster 'Crimson Iron Flying Ant (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +7.]

[Successfully killed First Tier One Star monster 'Crimson Iron Flying Ant (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +7.]

...

Once upon a time, when Zhang Yanhang first came to the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, he had launched a thermobaric bomb, killing thousands of monsters at once, which led to his brain crashing due to the overload of high-frequency notifications.

But for the current Zhang Yanhang, a few thousand kill notifications were nothing new. He was used to it, especially in Niger, where it was common to kill five-digit numbers of monsters simultaneously on the screen.

Moreover, for Zhang Yanhang, who had now advanced to Fifth Tier, whose body had largely been energy-quantified, such notifications, whether tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, posed no problem. Energy life forms indeed had an advantage in this respect.

Besides, this was basic operation for a divine being, as deities typically handled prayers from millions or even tens of millions of believers simultaneously. Although he was only Fifth Tier, at this level, he was on par with the rank of Saint or Demigod, who are avatars or candidates for divine beings. If he couldn't even handle this, it would be quite disappointing.

After wiping out all four thousand newly refreshed monsters in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu in one swoop, Zhang Yanhang scanned the number of dropped treasure boxes with familiar skill.

The results were unsurprisingly low. Due to the rank penalty having increased with his advancement to Fifth Tier, despite killing four thousand monsters, fewer than a hundred treasure boxes dropped, with a total of only eighty-nine. Among them, Crimson Iron Flying Ants contributed eleven, and the remaining seventy-eight came from Crimson Iron Worker Ants.

Based on Zhang Yanhang's experience, he believed that as a Fifth Tier Awakener killing First Tier monsters, the rank penalty likely required him to kill fifty monsters to obtain one treasure box.

However, due to his five-point Luck bonus, the actual drop rate for First Tier monsters was forty-five monsters for one treasure box, which matched his current situation.

Unfortunately, he hadn't yet managed to accumulate a ten-thousand-year lifespan. If he had, he would have had a Luck bonus of six points by now, reducing the required number to forty-four monsters for one treasure box. Though, perhaps it wouldn't make much difference.

After confirming that the treasure boxes had refreshed, Zhang Yanhang started rushing through the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, collecting all eighty-nine of the treasure boxes along the shortest path and at the fastest speed.

At one time, Zhang Yanhang found the hard-to-break Crimson Iron Ore to be incredibly resilient, but now, it was as thin as paper to him. Just like his past cleaning in Raccoon City, wherever there was a treasure box, Zhang Yanhang would break through, abbreviated as where there's blockage, crash through.

Therefore, under the premise that the entire small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu had been physically destroyed, Zhang Yanhang took only a few seconds to collect all eighty-nine dropped treasure boxes.

But let it be destroyed, as Zhang Yanhang would never return again. As the saying goes, after me, the deluge.

After dealing with the newly refreshed monsters in the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu, Zhang Yanhang proceeded to the Lucky Slot Machine. Here, Zhang Yanhang intended to conduct a little experiment to see if it was possible to shorten the lottery time of the Lucky Slot Machine.

After all, spending a fixed five minutes for just a hundred First and Second Tier monsters seemed like a waste of time to Zhang Yanhang. In Niger, those five minutes could be spent clearing a Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel.

Therefore, resolving the lottery time issue had become imperative.

Zhang Yanhang's Fourth Tier Multiple Choice wasn't strong enough before, but he believed that the Fifth Tier Multiple Choice might be able to achieve this.

So, Zhang Yanhang immediately attempted to trigger the choice, "Choose! I want to empty the entire prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine at once."

[Do you want to extract the entire content of the Lucky Slot Machine prize pool?]

[Option One: Yes (Force-refresh the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu's Lucky Slot Machine and extract all valuable prize pools, including the first, second, and third prizes.)]

[Option Two: No (Although you know you can easily do this, you suddenly give up on it feeling that this might lead to some unfavorable consequences.)]

[Option Three: Wait a minute (You wish to first extract the third prize pool of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu's Lucky Slot Machine once, then force refresh.)]

"Unfavorable consequences? What could possibly be unfavorable? I'm not coming back anyway, just extract it!"

As expected by Zhang Yanhang, the Fifth Tier Multiple Choice was indeed a game-changer, not only allowing him to empty the entire prize pool but also manipulating the Lucky Slot Machine to force-refresh the first and second prizes. This was truly excellent and allowed Zhang Yanhang to make the most of it before leaving for good.

As for any unfavorable consequences, they were insignificant to Zhang Yanhang. No matter how unfavorable, with Multiple Choice in his possession, it was manageable.

Regarding Option Three's wait a minute, clearing out the third prize pool of the Lucky Slot Machine and then force-refreshing, Zhang Yanhang felt it was unnecessary. He truly didn't want to waste that time, as dealing with mere hundreds of First and Second Tier monsters had no real value.

"So, I choose Option One, yes, forcibly refresh the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dalagu's Lucky Slot Machine immediately."

After briefly reviewing the specific contents of the three options, Zhang Yanhang quickly made his final choice.

[Please choose the specific content for this Lucky Slot Machine draw]

[Option One: 777 (First Prize, 'Crimson Iron Ant Queen Hormone Essence (Solid Compression)', Dark Purple Quality, Artifact.)]

[Option Two: ✬✬✬ (Second Prize, 'Crimson Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone', Purple Quality, Artifact.)]

[Option Three: ✬✬✬ (Second Prize, 'Crimson Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone', Purple Quality, Artifact.)]

...

[Option Forty-Eight: ❂❂❂ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Worker Ant, First Tier One Star, Ordinary Monster.)]

...

[Option Ninety-Seven: ❂❂❂ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Flying Ant, First Tier One Star, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option One Hundred Thirty-Eight: ✭✮✭ (Fourth Prize, thank you for your participation, no physical prize.)]

...

After making the choice, before Zhang Yanhang could react, a large prize pool list suddenly appeared in front of him, exactly the same as the prize pool list when he cleared it for the first time.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang strongly suspected that this forced refresh of Multiple Choice might have directly initialized the entire Lucky Slot Machine.

But before he could think much about it, the output slot of the Lucky Slot Machine suddenly started spewing out transparent capsules continuously like a machine gun firing. In just one second, it had already sprayed out over a hundred capsules, and the options in front of Zhang Yanhang were rapidly disappearing, quickly leaving only a large area of "thank you for your participation."

And all of this happened during the Time Pause...

Zhang Yanhang thought that Multiple Choice might have used the Time Pause to exploit a bug in the Ashen World, resulting in such an exaggerated situation.

Exaggeration aside, Zhang Yanhang really liked it.

"So, I choose Option One Hundred Thirty-Eight, Fourth Prize, thank you for your participation."

After Zhang Yanhang made the choice, the Time Pause instantly disappeared, and the hundreds of capsules that had just gushed out also opened at the same time.

On the spot, Zhang Yanhang launched a Death Wave that immediately ended the lives of all the Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants.

[Successfully killed First Tier One Star Monster 'Crimson Iron Worker Ant (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +3.]

[Successfully killed First Tier One Star Monster 'Crimson Iron Worker Ant (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +3.]

[Successfully killed First Tier One Star Monster 'Crimson Iron Worker Ant (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +3.]

...

But by now, Zhang Yanhang was already too lazy to recover any more corpses. Just like the four thousand Crimson Iron Worker Ants and Crimson Iron Flying Ants he had previously eliminated, he did not retrieve their corpses either. After all, these First Tier Monster corpses no longer held much value for him. His current inventory was the result of fusing millions of monster corpses.

So, for such small batches of monster corpses, Zhang Yanhang found it a waste of time and did not bother to recover them.

Aside from the ground littered with monster corpses, Zhang Yanhang's main focus was naturally on the First Prize and Second Prize. He immediately picked up the bottle of the First Prize for a closer look.

[Introduction: After gaining certain benefits through the Crimson Iron Ant King Concentrated Hormone, the Nameless Blacksmith set his eyes on the Crimson Iron Ant Queen again. He sought out the alchemist who also worked as a druid to perform his old trick to obtain the Ant Queen's hormone...]

"Sure enough, it's still that familiar feeling, exactly the same as the Hormone Essence of the Crimson Iron Ant Queen I got at the start. But with the bonus from Heaven and Earth Devourer, now if I continue to use this Hormone Essence, I can gain an increase of six points in the charm attribute and a 40% Reproduction Ability bonus."

Although Zhang Yanhang didn't care about the Reproduction Ability bonus at all, he was very eager to get those six points of charm attribute.

"However, this Dark Purple Quality Crimson Iron Ant Queen Hormone Essence should be saved for the Sixth Tier to be used. After all, my current Fifth Tier limit is one hundred twenty-five points, and I'm only four points away from the max. If I use it now, I can't use the Second Prize."

As for why Zhang Yanhang cared so much about the Second Prize, it was naturally because the Second Prize was of Purple Quality. With his current Hundred Taboos Skill, he could only use a Second Tier artifact of Purple Quality in the Fifth Tier. After promoting to the Sixth Tier, he would not be able to use them again, and he didn't want to waste those two bottles of Second Prize.

So, Zhang Yanhang checked the attribute list of the Second Prize again.
