Ashen God
Chapter 984 983: Gravity Limit! Magnetic Field Reversal!
"I remember last time I upgraded the XX-level talent Sea House Addition to the current XXX-level talent Immortal Life, it only increased attack power bonus and defense bonus by 444%. I didn't expect this time to be even higher. Growth talents are indeed strong."
Zhang Yanhang's various attack power bonuses originally added up to about 846%, but now it has directly increased to 1294%, meaning a single punch could cause about fourteen times the damage. Compared to the previous 9.5 times, the growth can be described as exceptionally significant.
Apart from attack power, Zhang Yanhang's defense bonus has also increased overall by more than half thanks to the lifespan enhancement. However, unfortunately, the defense varies across different tiers, and since Zhang Yanhang has just been promoted, there aren't good test subjects available for comparison.
There's no denying the benefits that deepening body energy quantification has brought to Zhang Yanhang are simply too numerous. And even though so many benefits have already been provided, Zhang Yanhang still feels there may be more changes.
However, what's to follow doesn't have much to do with lifespan or power enhancement because the upcoming changes are related to an evolution in flying ability.
Zhang Yanhang's original flying ability gained at the Fourth Tier was related to Earth's gravity, allowing him to fly only within the atmosphere.
After all, it is well-known that Earth's gravity creates the atmosphere, so the atmospheric limit is naturally Earth's gravity limit. This means that relying on Earth's gravity for anti-gravity flight couldn't allow him to enter space, so Zhang Yanhang used Flying Technique to enter space previously.
But now that he has been promoted to the Fifth Tier, it's different. Zhang Yanhang can clearly feel that the nature of his flying ability seems to have undergone some change or evolution; the flying principle has become entirely different from before.
Specifically, if there is no error in the knowledge points instilled by the Limitless Universe Skill, his current flight principle should have changed from relying on Earth's gravity for anti-gravity to relying on the planetary magnetic field for anti-gravity.
Moreover, evolved magnetic field anti-gravity flight still doesn't require any physical or energy consumption, thus, it's a bonus without a raise in price, a large welfare giveaway.
As for what specific changes have occurred, it naturally means Zhang Yanhang can now fly into space. Although this knowledge point is relatively uncommon, the range covered by a planetary magnetic field indeed far exceeds that of a planet's gravity.
As is well-known, light is essentially an electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves form magnetic fields. Therefore, theoretically, when you see the planet, you have already received its electromagnetic waves and magnetic field.
However, when the distance is too vast, the magnetic field will weaken and disappear, leaving only tiny electromagnetic wave particles traveling, resulting in the actual coverage range of the magnetic field being much smaller than the theoretical.
So, even though the coverage range of a planetary magnetic field is still quite far, it basically only spreads within the star system. It can't cover long distances.
But anyway, since a planetary magnetic field can cover an entire star system, it indicates Zhang Yanhang now has the ability to fly outside the planet, enabling him to fly freely within the Solar System, thanks to the abilities gained automatically upon promotion.
However, while indeed he can fly freely, given his current flight speed, it's best not to fly too far. After all, flying back would be troublesome, or the farther he flies, the slower he'll return. With that time, discovering life planets in the universe is less worthwhile than opening a few more permanent teleportation channels as a contribution to humankind.
For some reason, when mentioning this planetary magnetic field, Zhang Yanhang easily thinks of concepts like a million horsepower of magnetic field rotation.
Of course, more importantly, the benefits brought by deepening body energy quantification remain unfinished.
However, although Zhang Yanhang believes more of these tier-welfare benefits are better, the next one is indeed the last tier-welfare benefit.
After the deepening of body energy quantification, Zhang Yanhang felt an unknown change in his body, similar to a sudden release of a heavy burden, feeling lighter.
Yes, from a psychological perspective, much lighter.
As for his weight, it will only continuously increase indefinitely with size growth, which is also a good thing, as weight is part of his power source.
Especially in the Fatian Xiangdi state, at that time, weight becomes the absolute main force of his power source. It is safe to say that in Fatian Xiangdi state, weight contributes at least ninety percent.
However, Zhang Yanhang doesn't know precisely what special effects this unknown change, apart from a sense of lightness, might have, as the Limitless Universe Skill doesn't mention this knowledge point.
Thus, he thought perhaps he could ask Multiple Choice later, but now is certainly not the time because after upgrading the Limitless Universe Skill, Zhang Yanhang is prepared to enhance his attribute values. After all, holding as many as fifty-four free attribute points, he's bound to use them to convert into strength.
"Choice! Attribute value enhancement!"
Upon making up his mind, Zhang Yanhang immediately began triggering options regarding attribute value enhancement, and time paused instantly, along with the appearance of that small string of familiar, unchanged text option boxes he's seen hundreds of times so far.
[Enhance attribute points?]
[Option One: Strength +1 point.]
[Option Two: Agility +1 point.]
[Option Three: Constitution +1 point.]
[Option Four: Intelligence +1 point.]
[Option Five: Charm +1 point.]
"If I put all fifty-four free attribute points into the four main attributes, I could easily raise all main attributes to the tier limit of one hundred and twenty-five points, even achieving this without equipment bonuses isn't impossible.
However, due to the lack of Charm attribute this time, I must allocate some free attribute points to enhance the Charm attribute value."
Additionally, unlike last time, this time the Limitless Universe Skill hasn't been upgraded much and is still at LV.2, so there's still a large amount of attribute value bonuses to be obtained, naturally not needing to rush to raise all attribute values to one hundred and twenty-five points.
Therefore, he feels that as long as he can improve his four main attributes to over one hundred and twenty points this time, it will suffice.
"So, I choose Option One, Strength +1 point."
After quickly considering the specific attribute value enhancement plan, Zhang Yanhang immediately made a choice, and upon Zhang Yanhang's decision, time pause disappeared instantly.
......
November 2nd, Monday, the first day after Halloween, and also Zhang Yanhang's first day after leaving the Ashen World, 6:56 AM, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, Unit 505, bedroom.
After enhancing his attribute values, Zhang Yanhang immediately reopened his attribute list to start examining it.
[Strength: 119 (+3)]
[Agility: 123 (+3)]
[Constitution: 123 (+3)]
[Intelligence: 118 (+3)]
[Charm: 102 (+16)]
"I originally had 109 points in Strength, and now it has increased to 119 points, equivalent to another 10 points increase in Strength. However, after removing the three-point equipment bonus, in a bare state, it's actually 116 points, still four points short of 120.
As for Agility, it directly increased from the previous 107 points to 123 points, equivalent to a 16-point increase in Agility, even after deducting the three-point equipment bonus, it's still 120 points."
Since Zhang Yanhang mentioned he wanted to increase his attribute values to over 120 points, he naturally intended to achieve that. If you ask why Strength is four points lower, it's naturally because he still has two bottles of T-virus yet to drink, which can significantly increase his Strength and Intelligence when consumed.
"And my Constitution attribute also directly increased to 123 points, just like Agility. However, for Constitution, it only consumed five of my free attribute points, since it originally had 118 points; previously, it was affected by the lack of main attribute balance, which is now resolved, making it normal again."
Similarly due to the T-virus, Zhang Yanhang's Intelligence increased relatively less this time, merely rising from 111 points to 118 points, only using 7 free attribute points.
If you ask why Intelligence is even lower than Strength, it's naturally because his Intelligence attribute will likely overflow considerably in the Fifth Tier, perhaps even exceeding twenty-five points overflow.
After all, he plans to upgrade his Scroll Dragon Bloodline next, and Scroll Dragon Bloodline is an Intelligence Talent, so a free attribute point can be saved to allocate towards Charm.
To be honest, if the maximum difference between primary attributes wasn't five points, he would definitely take more free attribute points from Intelligence to enhance Charm, because even without mentioning the Scroll Dragon Bloodline, his Intelligence attribute overflows every time due to the Limitless Universe Skill.
Therefore, in fact, compared to the always lowest-ranking Agility attribute, his Intelligence attribute, because of the Limitless Universe Skill, is something he's never worried about.
"I originally had fifty-four free attribute points, now enhancing Strength attribute consumed ten free attribute points, enhancing Agility attribute consumed sixteen free attribute points, enhancing Constitution attribute consumed five free attribute points, enhancing Intelligence attribute consumed seven free attribute points, totaling 38 free attribute points used."
Therefore, by forcibly taking free attribute points from the mouth of Intelligence, Zhang Yanhang now has sixteen free attribute points left to allocate to Charm attribute, effectively filling up a large portion of the incomplete part of Charm attribute.
Not to mention, he can continue to gain more free attribute points through upgrades to enhance Charm, not needing many, just the six free attribute points from a single upgrade are enough for him, since 16+6 equals twenty-two, which is definitely sufficient for any attribute.
After using thirty-eight free attribute points to quickly boost his primary attributes, Zhang Yanhang then pulled out the two bottles of [T-virus Enhancing Potion] from his Waist Bag, which he obtained by refreshing the prize pool in Raccoon City for a second prize.
Previously, in the Fourth Tier, since his attribute values were already overflowing, he didn't use them immediately, so he'd been holding onto them until now, although he didn't actually keep them for much longer, merely an extra half day.
Before using these two T-virus Enhancing Potions, Zhang Yanhang, following habit, first briefly checked their attribute list.
[T-virus Enhancing Potion]
[Quality: Purple]
[Type: Artifact]
[Origin: Ashen World, Raccoon City, Outer Zone, Lucky Slot Machine.]
[Usage effect: Strength +1, Intelligence +1.]
[Usage requirements: Strength below 25 points, Intelligence below 25 points.]
[Score: 110 (Purple Items score between 71 to 150.)]
[Summary: Developed and manufactured by the Umbrella company, the 'T-virus Enhancing Potion' is used to enhance the human body and brain, but they later discovered that human strength has limits, far below the level of a B.O.W (Biological Combat Weapon), so they gradually abandoned this direction and shifted more funds toward developing the perfect 'Ultimate Biological Weapon.']
"Sure enough, it's the familiar T-virus Enhancing Potion, which can respectively increase Strength and Intelligence by one point, really nice.
But the only pity is that it can only be used when Strength and Intelligence attributes are below twenty-five points."
One could say, if he hadn't acquired the Hundred Taboos, this second prize would have been useless even if refreshed, probably only usable in the First Tier.
Even using it in the First Tier is quite restricted, since even in the First Tier, his attribute values overflowed partially upon final promotion, so in the Late First Tier Stage, it basically didn't meet the usage conditions, but luckily he cleared out the prize pool and used the rewards in the Early Stage.
Zhang Yanhang thought the reason the T-virus Enhancing Potion's score was so low, only 110 points, even within Purple Quality just a medium score, must be related to this usage requirement.
He imagined if the T-virus Enhancing Potion's usage requirements could be slightly relaxed, for instance, extended to thirty or thirty-five attribute values, the score would probably be significantly higher, at least reaching a high score within Purple Quality shouldn't be much of a problem, rather than being stuck at this neither here nor there level.
After checking the T-virus Enhancing Potion's attribute list and finding no issues, Zhang Yanhang quickly consumed these two bottles of T-virus Enhancing Potion.
