Comprehensive Network: The Chosen One Who Started from Speed-farming and Destroying Ashes

Chapter 58 Ash Thief and Weapon Selection (Two Updates!)
Although, to be honest, Yi Qingfeng hasn't fully maxed out all of his treasure-hunting talents yet.

However, a way to obtain the sub-star cluster has never been found.

This undoubtedly reduced the upper limit of his online version to a large extent.

Now that it has been confirmed that it can be obtained by clearing the Abyss difficulty dungeon.

Yi Qingfeng thought that he might consider further exploring the talent of hitting the gray.

Because it involved adjusting his strategy, Yi Qingfeng took his memo out of his inventory and looked at it.

Although it only has one page of content, it is already densely filled with a lot of information.

Some of them were inspirations that came to Yi Qingfeng on a whim.

Some were important matters that he was afraid of forgetting.

Prior to this, Yi Qingfeng had intentionally cultivated this habit in himself:
Whenever it involves strategic adjustments, he always checks the memo first.

Upon seeing a particular entry in the memo, Yi Qingfeng's eyes suddenly lit up:
"After level 5, the leader will no longer be counted in the progress of the Crimson Ascension class divine spells, and we need to consider adding it to the elite talents."

Yes!

I almost forgot about that...

Although, at present, the divine spells of the profession have not yet given him a direct boost in combat.

However, the strength of the Destiny Weapon is predictable.

Based on his current dungeon experience:

The basic probability of elites emerging is not high.

Yi Qingfeng thought for a moment, then directly opened the Treasure Hunting Star Cluster panel.

He currently does not have any sub-talent groups that directly increase the number of elites.

Only for rare elites.

That's about right—rare elites can also drop bloodline modules.

Immediately, Yi Qingfeng maxed out all the rare elite-related talents:
"Network notification: Your treasure hunting talent - Monster Hunter has a new sub-talent cluster: Rare Hunter (5/5)..."

"Rare Hunter (5/5): A rare elite will always appear in your dungeon. Rare elites have higher drop rarity and a unique drop pool."

As for the remaining 1 Treasure Hunting Talent Point...

Yi Qingfeng, on the other hand, went straight to the maximum level of reigniting the flames:
"Network notification: Your treasure hunting talent - Demonic Ashes information update: Rekindled Embers (4/5) → Rekindled Embers (5/5)..."

The probability of copying ash has increased by 10%.

As for the new sub-star clusters?
After some deliberation, Yi Qingfeng considered both the monster horde and the ash-slaying method, and ultimately decided to use it on the ash-slaying method.

For him now, an excessively large monster horde would affect his efficiency in clearing the game.

He needs to balance completion time and single-dungeon rewards.

After all, for him, clearing the game comes with the version-limited benefit of Treasure Hunting Talent Points.

Of course, this applies if you acquire a sufficiently large area-of-effect (AOE) ability.

The strange group is definitely superior to the others.

Just like the classic saying in a certain grinding game on Earth Online—the quality of drops depends on the quantity of drops…

Thus, Yi Qingfeng continued his actions in the void.

A new notification message then appeared on his retina:
"Network notification: Your Treasure Hunting Cluster - Demonic Ashes has unlocked a new sub-talent cluster: Ash Thief."

"

Ash Thief (0/5):
There is a chance (20% to guaranteed) of encountering a limited-time rare elite: Ash Thief in your instance.

The Ash Thief will steal all the Enchanted Ashes you drop. You must kill it within a specified time, or the Ash Thief will escape.

Ash Thieves do not drop other items; the Enchanted Ashes they drop are considered independent drops and are eligible for other related talent bonuses.

"

Ok?
Yi Qingfeng stared into deep thought as he looked at the sub-talent information displayed on his retina.

At first glance, this talent seems to have no value.

The ashes that were originally falling were taken by this rare elite.

We also have to kill it within a time limit.

Aside from granting additional Bloodline Ascension progress, there are no drop bonuses.

However, considering talents such as Rekindled Flames and the potential for increased elite ash drops, this is not an option.

Yi Qingfeng gradually came to understand this.

Such designs are not uncommon in games related to Earth Online. This is especially true for Yi Qingfeng, who can be considered a veteran player.

It's not difficult to quickly grasp this point.

Yi Qingfeng's current simple and crude understanding of this is:

For non-boss-restricted talents related to the drop of Demonic Ashes, an additional check can be performed.

Even elite-related loot talents might have a synergy with Demonic Ashes...

This is so cool!
Yi Qingfeng planned to max it out first.

Then, Yi Qingfeng looked at the bloodline module dropped by the Storm Wolf King:
So strong?
After carefully reviewing the document, Yi Qingfeng was undoubtedly somewhat surprised.

Leaving aside its basic attribute bonuses for now.

The next advanced attribute.

In Yi Qingfeng's view, this is basically equivalent to a full 30 more improvement for him now.

It seems that the strength of the bloodline module is indeed directly related to the strength of the monster.

However, not all monsters of all levels drop bloodline mods of roughly the same strength.

This is not very noticeable at levels below level 5.

Starting from level 5, some clues seem to have emerged.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have remote access methods yet.

Or wait until you upgrade Blood Oath Pursuit to level 2, then switch to Wild Boar Bloodline...

Yi Qingfeng was quite looking forward to the Abyss Boss with unbalanced power.

Then, Yi Qingfeng looked at the Storm Wolf King's fall.

No mounts were released.

The apprentice epic weapon selection feature has been released.

Yi Qingfeng couldn't help but fall into deep thought:
In terms of weapon strength alone, two-handed weapons are definitely stronger.

However, he now has an equally capable professional deputy.

Even with the bonus from the deputy, it may not be able to surpass the Silent Judgment.

However, if you choose the one-handed hammer, there won't be any area-of-effect effects.

He would then have to switch weapons during combat.

Or, should we choose a ranged weapon?
Yi Qingfeng opened the weapon selection menu.

The next moment, a dense array of options appeared before him:
"Network prompt: You can choose one of the following weapon types to obtain a random epic weapon (lv5):"
1. One-handed melee weapon (expandable)

2. Dual-wielding melee weapons (can be deployed)

3. Shooting weapons (deployable)

4. Spellcasting weapons (can be deployed)

…………

…………

"

Each major category of weapons has a complex array of subcategories.

While examining the ranged weapons, Yi Qingfeng suddenly noticed one particular branch of weapons:
Psionic heavy firepower weapons...

The description of this weapon variant on the website is as follows:

A ranged weapon that consumes psionic resources to deal significant damage to a selected area (1/1 of the available combat resources has been detected).

There seems to be some room for maneuver?

Yi Qingfeng thought to himself thoughtfully.

Based on the description on the webpage, it seems that the power of battle can be used as an alternative.

In that case, it might even be able to fill his area-of-effect (AOE) ability for a certain period of time.

Of course, if the actual combat effect is not good.

Further upgrades to the Destiny Weapon will also require a lot of fodder...

The left and right sides are randomly selected, so you won't lose much.

With that thought in mind, Yi Qingfeng made his choice directly in the void...
