Chapter 5 Peak Enhancement, 25

meaningful glance into the depths of the factory."However, I need to go back and hand in my task first."After finishing his words, Zhang Yi no longer lingered at the doomsday factory and turned to lea...As for the fact that a safety hammer could be transformed into gaming equipment, Zhang Yi naturally learned about it in his previous life. At that time, the only safety hammer in the carriage was picked up by a player inadvertently and transformed into a weapon, which made Zhang Yi and other players envious.

It was thanks to that safety hammer, which had 2 points of attack power higher than the beginner swords in other players' hands, that the player became the first rookie player in their group to emerge from the train station!

Then, equipped with an iron hammer, Zhang Yi's attack power increased from 5 to 10. He then calmly walked out of the carriage.

The moment Zhang Yi stepped out of the train car, a strong stench hit him. Several female players around him wrinkled their noses in disgust, but for Zhang Yi, this smell was nothing new.

As you can see, these new players can still manage to solo level 1 giant spiders. After all, a level 1 bio spider only has 6 attack power, 0 defense, and 50 health - pathetic stats. As long as they don't overleveled like Huangmao did at the beginning, players won't be in any danger.

And these newly created experience monsters set by the system, as long as they are not attacked by players, they will not actively attack players. This feature also greatly ensures the safety of novice players in the early stage.

Zhang Yi didn't, like other players, rush towards those giant spiders as if they were treasures. Instead, he chose to bypass the areas where these giant spiders were prevalent!

Carrying a large iron hammer, Zhang Yi arrived at the train station waiting hall.

According to the mini-map, the shortest route to the safe zone was a straight line along the railway tracks, so Zhang Yi circled around to the waiting hall, naturally for another purpose.

At the entrance of the waiting hall, Zhang Yi encountered a red spider that was different from the black ones in front.

Zhang Yi casually tossed a detect spell out —

【Bio-Spider】(Physical Normal Monster):

Level: 2

Talent: Poison (Common Talent, Bio-Spider's attack has a 1% chance to poison the target, losing 10% of the Bio-Spider's attack power per second for 5 seconds).

Physical Attack: 10

Physical Defense: 2

Magic Defense: 1

Health: 90

Description: A spider mutated by the pollution of the apocalyptic environment. It is extremely ferocious, but as long as you don't provoke it, it won't attack you proactively (This big spider seems a little unusual...).

In the Tianqi world, not only players, but monsters also possess talents.

Seeing the description on the data panel, Zhang Yi was even more certain: it was this guy!

Zhang Yi also learned about this opportunity by chance.

In his previous life, Zhang Yi didn't hear about the welfare monster in the train station waiting hall until he finally reached the safe zone town of Hope after a grueling two and a half hours. Players inside the safe zone mentioned that killing it could drop a treasure chest!

It is said that the player at the time forgot to look at the map and accidentally thought that leaving the train station must be through the waiting hall, resulting in an encounter with the "welfare monster".

According to the player's account, he killed the lucky monster in two attempts at the cost of dying once. He then obtained a treasure chest which seemed to contain many good items!

In this life, Zhang Yi arrived at the waiting hall before everyone else, so that welfare monster must belong to Zhang Yi.

A Level 1 player taking on a Level 2 Bio-spider would definitely be tough, but that's for ordinary players. For Zhang Yi, who possesses the [Dragon Bloodline] and wields the divine weapon, Great Iron Hammer, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Thus, Zhang Yi's gaze locked onto the second-year bio-chemical spider resting at the entrance of the waiting hall.

With the characteristic that a bio-spider will not attack players unless they are encountered, Zhang Yi approached with a large iron hammer in hand.

"Clang!" The hammer struck the giant bio-engineered spider, which stood at least a meter tall.

"Roar!"

With a roar, a red damage number popped above the bio-spider's head.

-8!

The Dragonblood lineage grants Zhang Yi a 5-star growth combined with the warhammer, making his attack power almost double that of other novice sword players. The damage inflicted on this level 2 bio-spider is also considerable.

The bio-engineered spider, caught off guard by the sudden attack, immediately swung its eight hairy, long legs around and opened its blood-filled maw to bite Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi quickly retreated to avoid the attack, then swung his hammer again, landing another blow on the bio-spider's skull for 8 points of damage.

While I wasn't a top-tier expert in my past life, I still had some basic movement skills.

Thus, Zhang Yi dodged the biochemical spider's attacks as best he could while looking for an opportunity to strike it with his iron hammer. After all, once attacked by a biochemical spider, Zhang Yi, with his 3 points of defense, would lose 7 points of blood. If the [Poison] talent was triggered, another 5 points of blood would be lost.

At the beginning, resources were scarce. The potions provided by the system weren't useful at this time.

In half a minute, Zhang Yi hammered ten times in succession, reducing the bio-spider's HP to 80.

The final blow landed, striking with a golden critical hit.

-16!

"Roar!"

With a roar, the bio-engineered spider fell dead before Zhang Yi.

"Ding~ You killed [Bio Spider], experience points 2!"

With the death of the bio-engineered spider, there was a loud *boom* as a golden box fell from its body!

Sure enough, it exploded!

Zhang Yi was overjoyed, squatted down and opened the 【One-Star Treasure Chest】.

"Ding~ Congratulations on opening the 【One-Star Treasure Chest】, you have obtained 【Level 1 Enhancement Stone】 x30!"

Chests are in-game items in the world of Tianqi, similar to lottery tickets. They are divided into tiers based on rarity, with higher-tier chests containing more valuable rewards.

For Zhang Yi, who possessed the [God-Level Enhancement] talent, these 30 enhancement stones that came out of this treasure chest were simply a lifesaver!

Thus, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to use the strengthening stones to strengthen the iron hammer in his hand. Each enhancement consumed a level 1 strengthening stone. One after another, pleasant prompts sounded from his ears -

"Ding~ Enhancement successful, congratulations on upgrading your equipment [Rough Iron Hammer] to 1!"

"Ding~ Enhancement successful, congratulations your equipment [Rough Iron Hammer] has been upgraded to Level 2!"

"Ding～ Enhancement successful, congratulations! Your equipment [Rough Iron Hammer] has been upgraded to 25! The exclusive talent [Severe Wound] is unlocked!"

I opened the attributes of "Rough Iron Hammer" again—

Rough Iron Hammer

[ 25]:

Quality: 1 star

Physical Attack: 18 (13) (Parentheses represent enhancement bonus)

Occupation restrictions: None

Level requirement: 1

Exclusive Talent: Grievous Wounds (Passive, Each attack by the equipped character deals an additional 30 points of damage.)

Don't underestimate this iron hammer, it can easily smash your beginner sword into pieces... [Angel's Protection]!"Originally, the pants increased 6 points of defense. After reaching level 25, the defense bonus reached 21 points. The "Defensive Consolidation" talent unlocked further added 10...
