November 2nd, Monday, the first day after Halloween, and also the second day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, at 5:14 AM, Raccoon City, Lucky Slot Machine.

After gradually clearing the Lucky Slot Machine at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, the monsters of the Demonized Swamp, and the goblins at the Goblin Plain, Zhang Yanhang ultimately returned to Raccoon City, directly teleporting to the location of the Lucky Slot Machine.

At this point, Zhang Yanhang can't help but consider whether to give up on ordinary zombies and zombie dogs, these useless monsters. If he abandons them, he could save about five minutes of time for each monster he foregoes.

But Zhang Yanhang thought again, since there isn't much else to do with the remaining time, he might as well clear them all. After all, it would feel strange if some monsters remained in the prize pool after drawing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanhang promptly and skillfully pulled the metal lever on the side of the Lucky Slot Machine. To be honest, it's fortunate that the Lucky Slot Machine can't be destroyed, otherwise, with his tendency to pull the lever repeatedly every time, the metal ball on top would have long become shiny with wear.

Considering this draw consists of seven hundred pulls, the lever's been pulled thousands of times just by himself.

As the metal lever was pulled, time pause instantly descended, and a large menu of text options, both format and content familiar, appeared before Zhang Yanhang.

Zhang Yanhang briefly checked the prize pool list, and as expected, it was the same as before, only missing the first and second prizes, the T-virus raw serum and T-virus enhancing potion. Yet, the seven hundred monsters remained good and well in the prize pool.

Moreover, apart from the quantity, the types remained identical—ordinary zombies, police zombies, zombie dogs, lickers, beta-type hunters, gamma-type hunters, and T-001 prototype tyrants, each with one hundred.

Although theoretically only lickers, beta-type hunters, and T-001 prototype tyrants are somewhat useful, Zhang Yanhang still plans to eliminate the remaining ordinary zombies, police zombies, zombie dogs, and gamma-type hunters.

"So, I choose Option One, First Tier Zero Star ordinary monster worker zombie."

After briefly scanning the prize pool list, Zhang Yanhang swiftly made his decision. Simultaneously, time pause ended abruptly, and an egg slowly bounced out of the prize outlet, during which Zhang Yanhang couldn't do anything but silently wait for the egg to open.

Maybe it's to build anticipation, only with the egg fully opened could Zhang Yanhang continue to pull the metal lever; during this time, the lever stays in a pulled-down, non-rebound state, preventing Zhang Yanhang from pulling continuously—only one pull, then wait, and resume pulling after the egg opens.

This is the primary reason Zhang Yanhang's egg drawing speed remained consistent, had the lever rebounded instantly Zhang Yanhang's otherworldly hand speed would have ensured it smoked from rapid usage, but alas it can't.

To this, Zhang Yanhang can only lament the Ashen World's design is truly inhumane, though it may discourage some unlucky awakeners from gambling, for someone like him, a destiny system awakener with cheats openly on display, it's blatant punishment and torture.

But nothing can be done since Zhang Yanhang lacks the power to alter Ashen World's rules, so he must obediently abide by them, slowly pulling the metal lever. Hence, the most crucial task is to enhance his strength, after all, to Zhang Yanhang, having power equates to being truly able to act as he wishes.

Indeed, having strength to act freely applies universally across worlds, yet for Zhang Yanhang, as a destiny system awakener, it manifests in a more tangible form.

......

November 2nd, Monday, the first day after Halloween, and also the second day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, at 5:49 AM, Raccoon City, Lucky Slot Machine.

...

After spending thirty-five minutes to finish drawing all seven hundred monsters, Zhang Yanhang decisively used a death wave to take them all down, then silently stood in place, waiting despondently for the drop treasure boxes to refresh.

A few seconds later, indeed, a dozen drop treasure boxes emerged on the ground; perhaps due to accumulated monster kills before, this time besides ordinary zombies dropping only two treasure boxes, the remaining police zombies, zombie dogs, lickers, beta-type hunters, and gamma-type hunters all First Tier monsters dropped three treasure boxes.

And since T-001 prototype tyrants are Second-tier monsters with lower rank penalties, they dropped four treasure boxes total.

Though the number of drop treasure boxes was similar, there were distinctions in quality; ordinary zombies, police zombies, and zombie dogs dropped the lowest white treasure boxes.

While lickers, beta-type hunters, and gamma-type hunters, these late First Tier monsters, dropped green treasure boxes.

Regarding T-001 prototype tyrants, being Second-tier early stage monsters hence dropped blue treasure boxes.

Indeed, considering it's seven hundred monsters, though most are First Tier, under rank penalties killing thirty-six monsters gets one treasure box, yet it provided Zhang Yanhang with twenty-one drop treasure boxes, which is decent.

After devouring the monster corpses along with the drop treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang immediately began clearing newly refreshed monsters in Raccoon City.

Because the current scanning range of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil has reached 1009 square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang can cover Raccoon City, which only spans a mere forty-two square kilometers, anytime and anywhere.

According to Zhang Yanhang's scanning results, perhaps because another twelve hours have passed, the number of monster refreshes in Raccoon City, which used to almost reach two thousand, has now completely surpassed two thousand. Although it's certainly no match for the Demonized Swamp and Goblin Plain, it's definitely better than the slot machine jackpot.

However, also due to the fact that Raccoon City covers only a mere forty-two square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang took only a few seconds to clear it completely—not to mention recovering all the monster corpses and drop treasure boxes as well. The overall cleaning speed can be said to be even faster than in the Goblin Plain.

After all, for Zhang Yanhang now, a super-micro area like Raccoon City is indeed too small, even with a diameter of only six to seven kilometers.

And currently, even a casual normal attack from Zhang Yanhang can cause a destruction radius of at least ten kilometers, which translates to a diameter of twenty to thirty kilometers. It can be said that a casual strike can directly destroy a good dozen or twenty Raccoon Cities.

Yet, Zhang Yanhang still has somewhat feelings for Raccoon City and didn't really deliver a blow that would smash Raccoon City to pieces. Otherwise, he could certainly solve all monsters in an instant. So, ultimately, he relied on the Death Wave, taking several seconds to clean up all the monsters.

Moreover, waiting time for the monster corpses to refresh and drop treasure boxes and the time to recover them occupied the bulk, while the actual hunting time was almost negligible. After all, Zhang Yanhang alone can cover an area of 7.4 square kilometers with just one Death Wave. Clearing Raccoon City is obviously extremely easy.

After dealing with various monsters appearing in Raccoon City, Zhang Yanhang harvested about sixty to seventy drop treasure boxes, which is quite decent.

Zhang Yanhang glanced at the watch and found that it was still early morning at five forty-nine. There were still eleven minutes until the transmission channel from Raccoon City to the Main World closed, allowing him to do some other more important things.

For instance, going to the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field's Achievement Vending Machine to exchange achievements, as well as to the Evaluation Settlement Treasure Box to claim the corresponding area-exclusive Ashen Treasure Box.

Incidentally, when drawing from the third prize pool of Raccoon City's Lucky Slot Machine earlier, Zhang Yanhang triggered the option to return to the Main World, which always activates half an hour before a transmission channel closes.

Of course, Zhang Yanhang chose to return to the Main World. However, before returning to the Main World, Zhang Yanhang needed to deal with something in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, and only then would he return to Raccoon City's side.

This is the real reason why Zhang Yanhang wouldn't really smash Raccoon City to pieces with a single punch. After all, compared to feelings, maintaining the original state hinging on the two transmission channels in Raccoon City is more important.

Though logically, even if Raccoon City's sewers and Dulda Apartment were blasted to pieces by aftershocks, it shouldn't affect the transmission channels, it's indeed unnecessary to take such a risk to save a few seconds.

While contemplating the Achievement Vending Machine, Zhang Yanhang teleported to Raccoon City's sewers.

Looking at this transmission channel which he's already come in and out of once and gradually becoming familiar with, a channel likely to remain permanently open, Zhang Yanhang didn't hesitate and immediately made a choice, reaching the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field through this transmission channel.

Upon entering the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, Zhang Yanhang immediately initiated a third teleportation, with the destination naturally being the Achievement Vending Machine, just as he did last time to clear the Demonized Swamp. Now it's just the opposite process repeated.

......

On November 2, Monday, the first day after Halloween, and the second day Zhang Yanhang entered the Ashen World, at five forty-nine in the early morning, he was at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, facing the Achievement Vending Machine.

Looking at the large metal cabinet identical to those in other regions, Zhang Yanhang didn't rush to draw something but wanted to first check the specific quality of achievements this time around.

Perhaps due to the reason that the weakest monster in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, the T-103 Type Super Tyrant, possesses merely the third-tier two-star strength, Zhang Yanhang found that the related achievements on this side of the Achievement Vending Machine do not seem to be of very high quality.

It's probably only slightly higher than the quality from Talano's large Crimson Iron Ant Nest side.

The lowest achievement quality from Talano's large Crimson Iron Ant Nest side was light gold, and on this side, it has only just reached golden quality, albeit precisely corresponding to the fourth-tier quality of Zhang Yanhang's current rank. Due to overpowered strength, he inevitably feels slightly disdainful towards golden quality.

It can only be said that this is the fault of the T-103 Type Super Tyrant. If the weakest monster in the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field could be replaced by the third-tier three-star strength T-0400TP Type Death God Tyrant, then Zhang Yanhang estimates that the achievements on the Achievement Vending Machine would lowest reach dark gold quality.

Fortunately, golden quality achievements are merely the lowest quality achievements. Besides golden quality achievements, there are also corresponding dark gold quality achievements and orange quality achievements available for exchange on the Achievement Vending Machine.

Although golden quality is somewhat lacking in class for Zhang Yanhang, dark gold and orange still remain the mainstream qualities at present, and are quite excellent.

However, not seeing red quality achievements indeed makes Zhang Yanhang slightly disappointed, considering the fifth-tier four-star lord monster, Ancestor Virus Aggregation, starts with red quality drop treasure boxes, yet the highest achievements here are only orange quality, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Previously, Zhang Yanhang was very satisfied with Ashen World's rules to determine achievement quality based on the weakest monster strength.

But now, he is gradually starting to think that perhaps instead of determining achievement quality based on the weakest monster's strength, it would be better to use the highest monster strength, specifically the strength of lord monsters, to decide the achievement quality.

Unfortunately, Ashen World is destined not to take user opinions into account for modification, and since the Achievement Vending Machine isn't in a lottery mode but an exchange mode, it renders Zhang Yanhang's Multiple Choice unusable, as Multiple Choice is more adept at altering as-yet-undetermined realities rather than forcibly twisting reality.

Moreover, even if he could forcefully twist reality to a certain extent, Zhang Yanhang's strength is still far from being able to twist the Achievement Vending Machine; not to mention the fifth tier, even at the sixth tier it is uncertain whether he can achieve it.
