It must be said, the Second Tier Three-Star Elite Monster Crimson Iron Destruction Ant and the Second Tier Four-Star Ordinary Monster Crimson Iron Flame Ant don't offer much benefit to Zhang Yanhang in terms of Soul points. Zhang Yanhang estimates they can only provide him a few million Soul points, which fall short compared to his current needs that easily reach over a billion.

But as the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even gaining a little is worthwhile, since it's not too time-consuming anyway.

...

With successive Death Waves, Zhang Yanhang cleared the entire large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, clearing out the total of twenty-two thousand monsters faster than expected, taking less than half a minute.

Of course, less than half a minute can mean different things; one second is less than half a minute, and twenty seconds is also less than half a minute.

Faced with the corpse-littered large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, Zhang Yanhang has little interest in retrieving the bodies. If it were a flatter environment, maybe it would be different.

But in this underground labyrinth of tunnels and caves, Zhang Yanhang simply cannot be bothered to explore every nook and cranny to recover the bodies of Second Tier Monsters lacking value. He could easily obtain many more from a simple Second Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel.

Therefore, finding it somewhat time-wasting, Zhang Yanhang decided to forgo recovery, especially since he currently doesn't need Secondary Sage Stones.

According to his scans, although this time there were twenty-two thousand monsters in the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, due to Rank Penalties, he would need to kill thirty-five Second Tier Monsters to get a single Treasure box to drop. Thus, he only scanned a total of six hundred and twenty-nine Drop Treasure boxes.

But as for these Treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang is somewhat lazy in collecting them.

So, he executed the Truth Alchemy with a massive Alchemy Array rapidly expanding and advancing, causing the Crimson Iron Ore Walls to separate.

And the purple-glowing Drop Treasure boxes were swept up by the earth, and stones rushed toward him like swallows returning home, gathering in front of him in seconds.

What can I say, Zhang Yanhang's Truth Alchemy is a Fifth Tier Alchemy with some combat capabilities. Though covering a too large area might cause slight issues due to energy consumption, covering an area with a mere diameter of dozens of kilometers poses no problem. After all, crafting a Floating City by severing a mountain range was an old craft he could handle even at the Fourth Tier. Since he could do that much at Fourth Tier, Fifth Tier is naturally more impressive.

He usually avoids doing this due to energy conservation, but he's starting to think differently now. In this low-level area, efficiency outweighs wasting time.

After collecting six hundred and twenty-nine Drop Treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang did a quick inventory and found four hundred from the Crimson Iron Destruction Ant and two hundred twenty-nine from the Crimson Iron Flame Ant.

Zhang Yanhang reckons the combined Treasure boxes might get him another two to three million Soul points, but even that, added to the kill value, could only provide five to six million Soul points, far from enough to upgrade his Profession Level.

After clearing the entire large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, Zhang Yanhang immediately teleported to the side of the Lucky Slot Machine, even though the prize pool has refreshed with Third Prize pools.

The reason being, the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano's Lucky Slot Machine's Third Prize pool consists of twenty places each for the five types of Crimson Iron Ants, including the Crimson Iron Prince Ant. Even the strongest, the Crimson Iron Prince Ant, is just a Third Tier Monster.

If he continues to kill Third Tier Monsters, the Rank Penalty will require killing twenty-five monsters to drop a Treasure box. With twenty from each of the five types, none would drop Treasure boxes, so why bother? Waste five minutes for a few tens of thousands of Soul points? Not necessary.

"Choose! Force refresh and draw the entire Lucky Slot Machine prize pool at once."

Although it's just his second time doing this, Zhang Yanhang is starting to become proficient. After all, practice makes perfect.

As Time Pause was triggered, the familiar text option box appeared before Zhang Yanhang again.

[Do you want to draw all the content from the Lucky Slot Machine prize pool?]

[Option One: Yes (Force refresh the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano's Lucky Slot Machine and draw its First Prize, Second Prize, and Third Prize pools with value.)]

[Option Two: No (Although you know you can easily do it, you suddenly choose not to, realizing this action prevents future refreshes of the Lucky Slot Machine's prize pool.)]

[Option Three: Wait (You want to draw the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano's Lucky Slot Machine Third Prize pool once before forcing a refresh.)]

"Well, it seems like, perhaps because it's only been less than half a minute, this option feels exactly like the last one, only with Option Two changing a bit, telling me doing this would stop future refreshes of the Lucky Slot Machine."

And of course, Zhang Yanhang won't choose Option Three, as there's no necessity.

"So, I choose Option One, force refresh and draw the Lucky Slot Machine prize pool immediately."

With Zhang Yanhang's choice, a familiar long list of text option boxes appeared before him, the initial prize pool list for the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano Lucky Slot Machine.

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

[Option One: 777 (First Prize, 'Crimson Iron Queen Ant Hormone Gel (Magic Power Extraction)', Dark Gold quality, Artifact.)]

[Option Two: ✮✮✮ (Second Prize, 'Crimson Iron Prince Ant Solid Hormone (High-Density Compression)', Golden quality, Artifact.)]

[Option Three: ✮✮✮ (Second Prize, 'Crimson Iron Prince Ant Solid Hormone (High-Density Compression)', Golden quality, Artifact.)]

...

[Option Thirty-Two: ❂❂❂ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Destruction Ant, Second Tier Three Stars, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option Sixty-Six: ❂❂❂ (Third Prize, Crimson Iron Destruction Ant, Second Tier Three Stars, Elite Monster.)]

...

[Option One Hundred Forty-Five: ✭✬✭ (Fourth Prize, thank you for your patronage, no physical prize.)]

......

Similarly corresponding to it, before Zhang Yanhang had time to check this part of the prize pool list, these options were disappearing rapidly one by one, while transparent capsules were continuously flying out from the slot at the bottom of the Lucky Slot Machine.

Zhang Yanhang was quite familiar with this situation, so when all the useful options in the prize pool list disappeared, he immediately made a choice, "Therefore, I choose Option One Hundred Forty-Five, Fourth Prize, thank you for your patronage."

Accompanied by Zhang Yanhang's choice, the Time Pause immediately vanished, and those hundreds of transparent capsules also opened instantly at the same time.

Facing hundreds of Crimson Iron Destruction Ants and Crimson Iron Flame Ants, Zhang Yanhang's choice was to end everything with a single Death Wave.

[Successfully killed Second-tier Three-star Monster 'Crimson Iron Destruction Ant (Elite)' x1, Soul points +160.]

[Successfully killed Second-tier Three-star Monster 'Crimson Iron Destruction Ant (Elite)' x1, Soul points +160.]

[Successfully killed Second-tier Three-star Monster 'Crimson Iron Destruction Ant (Elite)' x1, Soul points +160.]

...

After resolving these bothersome monsters, Zhang Yanhang immediately picked up the First Prize and the two Second Prizes, and he first checked the attribute list of the First Prize.

[Crimson Iron Queen Ant Hormone Gel (Magic Power Extraction)]

[Quality: Dark Gold]

[Type: Artifact]

[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, Lucky Slot Machine.]

[Usage Effect: Charm +8, Reproduction Ability +30%.]

[Usage Requirement: Charm below 100 points.]

[Score: 530 (Dark Gold Quality item score ranges from 441 to 530.)]

[Introduction: Watching the male adventurer, whose memory was selectively erased through a brainwashing spell by the Witch Demon Mage but still instinctively covering his butt and limping out of the maze, the Nameless Blacksmith laughed delightedly. Indeed, opening a maze suits him best...]

"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as before. This Dark Gold Quality Crimson Iron Queen Ant Hormone Gel can increase eight points in Charm attribute and 60% in Reproduction Ability, and after the Heaven and Earth Devourer 100% bonus, it can increase sixteen points in Charm attribute and 120% in Reproduction Ability."

Zhang Yanhang's previous Crimson Iron Ant Queen Hormone Essence could provide 6 points in Charm attribute and 40% in Reproduction Ability after the bonus, which, when all added up, is 22 points in Charm attribute and a 160% increase in Reproduction Ability. Of course, the increase in Reproduction Ability wasn't particularly useful for him.

"I feel that at this point, the Sixth Tier should indeed lack no Charm attribute, and there are also two Gold Quality Second Prize Crimson Iron Prince Ant Solid Hormone."

After inspecting the Crimson Iron Queen Ant Hormone of the First Prize, Zhang Yanhang also conveniently checked the attribute list of the Second Prize Crimson Iron Prince Ant Hormone.

[Crimson Iron Prince Ant Solid Hormone (High-density Compression)]

[Quality: Gold]

[Type: Artifact]

[Origin: Ashen World, Crimson Iron Ore Vein, Large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Talano, Lucky Slot Machine.]

[Usage Effect: Charm +6.]

[Usage Requirement: Charm below 100 points.]

[Score: 420 (Gold Quality item score ranges from 351 to 440.)]

[Introduction: In preparation for opening a maze, the Nameless Blacksmith targeted the special hormones secreted by the Crimson Iron Queen Ant and Crimson Iron Prince Ant during mating. According to his observation, the special hormones secreted by the Crimson Iron Queen Ant and the Crimson Iron Prince Ant are far stronger than those he encountered before from the Crimson Iron Ant King and Crimson Iron Ant Queen...]

"This Crimson Iron Prince Ant Solid Hormone can increase 6 points in Charm attribute, and I have two bottles, which add up to twelve points in Charm attribute, and with the Heaven and Earth Devourer 100% effect bonus, that's a total of twenty-four points in Charm attribute. Adding that to the previous twenty-two points in Charm attribute gives a total of 46 points in Charm attribute.

Moreover, aside from that, my current Charm attribute itself already has an overflow of four points, so the total adds up to fifty points in Charm attribute, and only twenty-five points of Charm attribute are needed per Tier."

Therefore, not to mention the Sixth Tier, Zhang Yanhang now has even gathered the Charm attribute value for the Seventh Tier prematurely.

"The Forced Refresh is indeed great, never having to worry about lacking Charm attribute anymore. Being only in the Fifth Tier, I've already secured the share for the Seventh Tier."

Moreover, the attribute value bonus ratio he is using now is calculated based on the Fifth Tier's Heaven and Earth Devourer. Once he gets promoted, the bonus effect of Heaven and Earth Devourer will also increase further, and then, just relying on these artifacts he holds, perhaps even the Eighth Tier could be manageable, which seems pretty outrageous.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if that Lucky Slot Machine in Raccoon City, which has already refreshed once for the First Prize and Second Prize, could be forced to refresh again? If it could, wouldn't that mean I could once again freely gain a substantial amount of attribute value increase?"

Initially, Zhang Yanhang was worried about how to increase that one missing attribute point in his Agility attribute, but if that Lucky Slot Machine in Raccoon City can also be forced to refresh, he wouldn't have to worry at all, and moreover, the tier in Raccoon City is quite low, so even if the Lucky Slot Machine breaks down, he wouldn't care much.

To some extent, Zhang Yanhang feels he could completely force refresh all the Lucky Slot Machines in every area except the Fifth Tier Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, as with his increasingly exaggerated Rank Penalty, the mere one hundred monsters in the prize pool are basically unnecessary.

Since the Charm attribute is currently maxed out, Zhang Yanhang did not immediately use this time's First Prize and Second Prizes. Instead, like the previous First Prize, he stored them away to use later after he promotes to the Sixth Tier.

And after he dealt with the one hundred Crimson Iron Destruction Ants and Crimson Iron Flame Ants in the prize pool for the Third Prize, Zhang Yanhang once again received three drop treasure boxes, specifically two drop treasure boxes from Crimson Iron Destruction Ants and one drop treasure box from a Crimson Iron Flame Ant.
