"But although indeed the small goal of compressing the time consumed to recover a tube of physical strength to within ten hours has finally been completed, it seems that this small goal might just be a flash in the pan for now, and is likely to be quickly reverted to its original state."

After all, the reason this small goal was smoothly completed this time was mainly because Zhang Yanhang didn't upgrade the Level XX Talent Sea House Addition when opening the treasure box.

Once he later upgrades the Level XX Talent Sea House Addition to Level XXX, then with the sharply increasing stamina limit at that time, the recovery time for stamina, which has just been reduced to ten hours, will surely experience a significant increase again, and the small goal just completed will naturally become invalid immediately, so Zhang Yanhang calls it a flash in the pan.

"But a flash in the pan is a flash in the pan, after all, I have already completed this small goal now, and there are still three spots of electromagnetic energy pump +4 that can continue to break the limit and fuse into orange quality electromagnetic energy pump +5, so there's still a bit of hope to restore this small goal, although the probability is not high."

Because of just completing the small goal, Zhang Yanhang was generally quite happy, so he was lazy about thinking of things afterwards; these things will be dealt with in due course, after all, the boat will go straight when it hits the bridge, maybe he will find something new that can enhance the physical recovery speed by then.

After sequentially checking the Life Ring, Neck Potential Activation Device, and Electromagnetic Energy Pump, Zhang Yanhang then continued checking the last two types of equipment, namely the Dark Gold Quality Attack Speed Coin Fragment and Movement Speed Coin Fragment that were opened from the golden quality drop treasure box from the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank.

This time, because Zhang Yanhang used the dual-choice while opening the treasure box, he could dynamically adjust the quantity of both, therefore, he opened twenty pieces of each coin fragment, just enough to respectively synthesize an attack speed coin and a movement speed coin.

After quickly checking the quantity, Zhang Yanhang immediately picked up the twenty attack speed coin fragments and began synthesizing the attack speed coin.

He was already quite skillful with this process, and during the entire fusion process, there weren't any fancy effects, just a flash of white light, and then a complete attack speed coin appeared before his eyes, with this coin indeed glowing orange.

After successfully synthesizing the attack speed coin, Zhang Yanhang immediately opened its attribute list and began reviewing it.

[Description: Looking at this new-type tyrant, appearing like a humanoid mecha in front of me, I have to marvel once again at the strength of the manufacturing department. Of course, as the designer, I also participated, but I did not take responsibility for nurturing the T-011 type tyrant used as the modified basic body.

Although this T-011 type tyrant was indeed entirely designed by me without any plagiarism, I am still more interested in the energy section of the research phase, after all, it's my old field of expertise, so due to having already some previous conceptions, I joined the development work of the miniature nuclear reactor.

But the work on the miniature nuclear reactor had only been underway for a few weeks when I received a message from the director saying that the T-011 type tyrant was successfully manufactured and indeed certified as the strongest 'basic body' tyrant with combat power stronger than the T-103 type tyrant.

If nothing goes wrong, most of the subsequent modification resources might be abandoned from the T-103 type tyrant instead to be invested in the T-011 type tyrant, and because I researched a stronger basic body tyrant, I was formally promoted to Level 1 Researcher.

I originally thought it would take me at least a few more years of experience to be promoted to Level 1 Researcher, but unexpectedly, in just under half a year, I was promoted from Second-level Researcher to Level 1 Researcher. And it is precisely thanks to this promotion that I could become one of the leaders in the miniature nuclear reactor project with the identity of Level 1 Researcher.

I began recruiting a large number of low-level research dogs to join my project and help build it, and as a privilege of Level 1 Researcher, I could independently lead a research team belonging to myself, with greatly increased freedom in the allocation of research resources as well.

After independently leading a research team, I capitalized heavily on previously overlooked concepts to start major developments. Perhaps it's because I really have some Talent in energy technology, and within just three months, I've already overcome many difficulties in energy conduction.

Half a year later, the entire miniature reactor project, including director-level researchers and minister-level researchers, thousands of researchers, was all guided by my will, and accordingly, significant breakthroughs occurred in miniaturization and heat dissipation.

A year later, I am honored to announce the successful development of the miniature nuclear reactor through successive breakthroughs in energy transmission, energy compression, fuel manufacturing, atomic fission, transuranic elements, critical reactions... among other seventeen major breakthroughs and two hundred thirty-two branch technologies.

When seeing the G-034 type miniature nuclear reactor I made being successfully placed into the heart of the T-011 type prototype tyrant and indeed successfully starting this new-type tyrant, akin to a humanoid mecha, the leading Dr. Kristen of the entire modification project showed a dazzling smile.

That smile was so beautiful and radiant, I suddenly felt that all my efforts of the year were worthwhile.]"

"Wow, what an ultimate licking dog?! Just for getting closer to her and making her smile, he researched and developed a miniature nuclear reactor?!"

Of course, looking at the whole process, what Zhang Yanhang said was somewhat biased, but from the result, that's precisely what it was.

Zhang Yanhang even felt like the other party had some black tech system, generally feeling like the male lead of a popular novel, but unfortunately, just a licking dog.

"But this licking dog really has strong scientific research abilities, just one year to develop something like a miniature nuclear reactor, which is the energy revolution-level stuff...

If I were a woman, and if such a licking dog was around me, I'd definitely be delighted, absolutely order him right away to produce a lithography machine."

Unfortunately, though it is possible to become female, he really isn't interested in the matter of transforming into a woman, compared to this, Zhang Yanhang is more interested in the attack speed coin itself.

"After synthesizing a complete Attack Speed Coin, the Attack Speed Coin indeed reached Orange quality, and it was full-score equipment at Orange quality. The additional attribute provided a 57.5% attack speed bonus."

Zhang Yanhang hadn't acquired equipment that could boost attack speed for quite some time. The best attack speed boosting equipment he currently had was merely the Demon Pig Bracelet +3 of Golden quality, which only provided a 31% attack speed bonus.

So rounding it off, just one Attack Speed Coin was almost equivalent to two Demon Pig Bracelets. And in the future, he would acquire more Attack Speed Coins, ensuring that the attack speed boost he eventually received would surpass his current total bonus.

"High-level equipment is indeed superior. Fifth Tier equipment like this Orange quality item completely crushes Fourth Tier equipment of Golden quality."

Of course, in terms of usage requirements, the Attack Speed Coin has a drawback: it can only be used and gain a bonus when the Agility attribute is less than 125 points. But this has become a traditional usage requirement, similar to the Attack Coin and the Defense Coin.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanhang now has the Hundred Taboos Skill, allowing him to completely ignore this usage requirement. Speaking solely from a tier perspective, he would only have to upgrade to Eighth Tier before this Orange quality Fifth Tier equipment becomes obsolete.

Reaching Sixth Tier is already godlike; who knows what Eighth Tier entails. So Zhang Yanhang reckoned he could basically declare that this Orange quality Attack Speed Coin could stay by his side forever without retiring.

After examining the attribute list of the Attack Speed Coin, Zhang Yanhang quickly synthesized the remaining twenty Speed Coin Fragments into an Orange quality Movement Speed Coin and began inspecting its relevant attribute list.

[Movement Speed Coin]

[Quality: Orange]

[Type: Equipment]

[Origin: Ashen World, Umbrella Biochemical Test Field, A-3 Comprehensive Research Base.]

[Durability: 150/150]

[Defense Power: 75]

[Additional Attributes: Movement Speed +57.5%.]

[Usage Requirement: Agility below 125 points.]

[Description: After the new prototype Tyrant was successfully activated, Dr. Kristen came over to shake my hand, congratulating me on the success of my research project while also promoting me to Director-level Researcher. I didn't cherish the previous opportunity, but this time I won't let go.

Dr. Kristen's hand was still just like before, small, fragrant, soft, and I savored this beauty, vowing not to let go. Over time, Dr. Kristen's smile stiffened, and she secretly tried to pull away, but couldn't break free from my grip akin to iron clamps.

Until the little assistant beside us couldn't stand it any longer and forcibly pried my hand away, dragging Dr. Kristen away.

After Dr. Kristen left, I sniffed my palm. Indeed, it had a unique fragrance. Although scientifically speaking, body scent is rare and it's more likely the fragrance of body wash and hand soap, emotionally, I prefer to believe it's body scent.

I've privately decided not to wash this hand for the next week to better savor this scent.

As the chief designer, I not only designed the basic body T-011 Tyrant but also led the development of the miniature nuclear reactor. The naming rights this time again fell into my hands, but at the naming meeting, I handed this right to the project leader, Dr. Kristen.

Dr. Kristen again smiled at me, graciously accepting the naming rights and naming it 'T-011 Talos Tyrant: War Form,' calling it the ultimate B.O.W., currently the most powerful biological weapon manufactured by the Umbrella company, and confirming its official production phase.

Perhaps to express gratitude for yielding the naming rights, Dr. Kristen hugged me politely, but I held her tightly, as if trying to squeeze her into my body.

Feeling the fragrance filling my nostrils and the softness of Dr. Kristen's chest, I felt as if I was born in this world for this moment of happiness.

I indulged until a sharp pain snapped me awake, surprisingly the same assistant by Dr. Kristen's side again. Though she is somewhat attractive, ranking high within the research base aside from Dr. Kristen, she keeps interrupting. I'll definitely give her a piece of my mind later.

Dr. Kristen, flustered, ran off swiftly, leaving the assistant glaring angrily at me. Unflinchingly, I rolled my eyes at her and left the meeting room.

But to my surprise, merely days later, I indeed gave her a piece of my 'mind'...

"Hmm? Color? What color? How did this cut off halfway through? But anyway, it seems the relationship between the licking dog researcher and Kristen has finally made some progress after the promotion."

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Yanhang expects further emotional developments to advance rapidly since their statuses are gradually bridging, with the licking dog researcher promoted to Director-level Researcher, finally entering the upper echelons.

"As for this Movement Speed Coin, what can I say, it's exactly the same as the previous Attack Speed Coin, except for a different name and type of bonus. But the bonus magnitude is also 57.5%, only this time it boosts movement speed.

Moreover, the usage requirement for the Movement Speed Coin is also needing Agility below 125 points, and even the equipment score is exactly the same as the Attack Speed Coin, both being Orange quality full-score at 680 points."

To be honest, Zhang Yanhang initially even thought that the intros of the Attack Speed Coin and Movement Speed Coin might be identical since earlier the intros of the Attack Coin and Defense Coin were the same.

But unexpectedly, this time the Movement Speed Coin also has its own intro, although once again it doesn't mention any information regarding the Movement Speed Coin, but this has become an old tradition, to which Zhang Yanhang has long since grown accustomed.
