Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 274 - 268: The Strongest and the Pendant (Two-in-One) [Peripheral Activities Chapter] (May Bonus Chapter for 4200 Monthly Tickets)
"The top ten guilds, the lowest threshold for recruiting members, is a Purple Talent."
"The hidden threshold for the Luoyue Guild is at least a Purple Talent, and there's a great chance that it is a Red Talent," the buzz-cut man grinned, "I've already asked several members of the Luoyue Guild, but unfortunately, they kept their lips sealed and didn't reveal their talent levels."
"If the threshold is a Red Talent, then I'm out," the buzz-cut man spread his hands, "I suppose all of you are here to try your luck with a Purple Talent like me, right?"
At these words, everyone looked at each other, and suddenly there was silence.
The ponytailed girl who had spoken earlier tensed, her hands instinctively tightening, her nerves escalating after overhearing the conversation.
The boy standing beside her tugged at her hand, giving her a comforting smile.
These two were siblings who had been saved by Red Leaf.
"Let's see, maybe the Luoyue Guild has different requirements?" he whispered.
No one refuted him, as this was also their hope.
Red Player Talent, isn't that hard to come by?
"Eh? Could it be that one?" A player suddenly exclaimed, pointing toward the horizon.
Other players followed the direction of the voice, quickly spotting two rapidly enlarging dots in the sky, one black and one white.
As their outlines became clear, everyone gasped.
"Oh my god, it's actually a dragon!"
"I heard that Luo and Yue Li recently defeated the Black and White Dragon Nest in an S-level Secret Realm; this must be the reward from that time."
Everyone envied them, and they became even more anxious.
Luo and Yue Li were back, meaning their interview was about to begin.
-----------------
Hopping off from Little Black's back, Qin Chuan was in high spirits.
Not only because Silver Horn had gained an extra attribute, significantly enhancing its strength, but also because on the way back, he and Yue Li had successfully conquered an A-level 5-star Secret Realm.
In the past, they had to consume one or two seconds of Time Stop to conquer an A-level 5-star Secret Realm, but this time, they did it smoothly without any need for Time Stop.
This meant that they no longer needed to spend Time Stop on A-level Secret Realms, which was obviously good news.
"Guild Leader! Vice Guild Leader! There are many interviewees!" Red Leaf rushed towards them excitedly, pointing to an open space not far away, "They're all over there."
"Maybe I can build an interview reception hall tomorrow?" Iron Hammer followed, arms crossed, chuckling, "Let's see how many people pass the interview today."
Actually, Qin Chuan and Yue Li had already noticed them when they arrived.
"Next, leave it to me."
Yue Li smiled and pulled on Qin Chuan's sleeve, turning her head toward the nervous group of more than twenty interviewees.
The result of the interview was rather satisfactory.
In the end, three players passed the Prayer's selection and successfully joined the Luoyue Guild.
The number of members in the Luoyue Guild also increased from six to nine.
The sibling duo saved by Red Leaf were among them; the brother's game name was Red Maple, and the sister's was Chi Yu.
Red Maple's player talent was Red Talent Locking. The first talent effect could dispel all negative effects on a Contracted Spiritual Beast, with a cooldown of 10 minutes. The second talent effect could lock an attribute of a specified target for 60 seconds, and it could be used only once per Dream Day.
This second talent effect was very powerful, having entirely different outcomes when applied to different attributes. It could be used to lock the life attribute of their own Spiritual Beast, enabling 60 seconds of locked health, or it could solidify either the buff effects on themselves or the debuff effects on their opponents for 60 seconds.
Chi Yu's player talent was Purple Talent Maintenance. The first talent effect increased the healing effect of Contracted Spiritual Beast's healing skills by 150%, and the second talent effect linked the Contracted Spiritual Beast with a target Spiritual Beast, sharing 60% of the damage received by the target, and could link multiple targets simultaneously.
This was a talent heavily focused on support. The second talent effect, if mishandled, might even cause her to explode.
But combined with her brother's talent, things could get interesting.
Eventually, the siblings joined the small team of the three people led by Red Leaf.
With this, the Luoyue Guild finally assembled a full-fledged expedition team.
When the siblings advance to the Elite Level, they would be able to smoothly conquer any Secret Realm below A-level.
Another member hailed from The Sun Never Sets, named Spoon.
Spoon's player talent was Purple Talent Strong Strike. The first talent effect allowed the Contracted Spiritual Beast's next attack to increase in damage by 100%, with a cooldown of 15 minutes. The second talent effect could enhance the damage by 200%, but it could be used only once per Dream Day.
Compared to this enhancement-type talent effect, which ranked the lowest in the Luoyue Guild, the main reason he could join the Luoyue Guild was his culinary skills.
This man from The Sun Never Sets, known as a "culinary desert," possessed surprisingly exceptional cooking skills.
It was said that he traveled around countries year-round, so he was very good at making various cuisines.
This was something Qin Chuan and Yue Li didn't doubt at all, especially after he prepared a very authentic-tasting boiled fish dish.
The job of part-time chef Leonhardt was officially taken over by the full-time chef Spoon.
Iron Hammer, the old cadre, now had someone to chat with.
By the time the interviews were completed, the entrance to the Dream World was about to close.
In the last moments of this Dream Day, new and old guild members enjoyed the food prepared by Spoon while quickly getting to know each other, and then...
Silver Horn's Affinity reached 100%.
-----------------
Real world.
Qin Chuan sat up from his bed, quickly checked the time, and began to wash and change his clothes.
His three roommates heard the noise and gradually woke up.
Zhou Xiaochen, still not fully awake, rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Chuan Daddy, aren't you up too early? We only have classes this afternoon."
"I have a Dark Attribute theory class first thing this morning," Qin Chuan replied with a smile as he picked up his textbook.
Coincidentally, Silver Horn's Affinity was full, and it had now also come to the real world.
Before this, he had tried getting Water Flower and Ice Cream to understand the corresponding Transcendent theories, but neither of them achieved it.
Silver Horn had always been smart since he was young.
Let him try.
When Qin Chuan left the dorm, Zhou Xiaochen stretched lazily on his bed, "No wonder we say Chuan Daddy is awesome, he's even enthusiastic about attending a theory class."
"I went to class yesterday and started not understanding anything from the third minute onwards, but it was very effective for helping me sleep."
"Do you think Chuan Daddy understands it? I heard his high school academic grades weren't that great."
"Mind your own business whether he understands it or not." Du He'an finally had enough of the chatterbox. "As long as his partner understands, that's enough, you single dog."
Zhou Xiaochen was silent and gave himself a harsh slap.
"I shouldn't have asked!"
Elsewhere, in the classroom about to teach the basics of Dark Attribute Theory, the students already seated took the opportunity before class to steal glances at the two sitting by the window.
Sunlight scattered across the desk from the window side, and the young man flipping through his textbook shone a radiant half-profile in the sunlight, a sight that was enough to make countless girls swoon, especially considering the young man possessed one of the two unique powerful forces in the world.
Seeing the young girl next to him, tilting her head and whispering to him, occasionally showing a smile brighter than the sunlight, many in the classroom couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
Indeed, only those uniquely powerful in the world are suited for each other.
Zheng Xiaoyu sat with one hand propping her cheek, the other twirling a pen casually between her slender fingers, though her eyes couldn't help but drift to the couple in the row ahead.
Suddenly, a peculiar sense of relief emerged in her heart.
Lin Yue's leg had healed, and from now on, she wouldn't have to sit between the two during class like a third wheel.
Whenever she wanted to ship the couple, she could sit behind them and boldly do so; whenever she didn't want to deal with their affection, she could sit far away, never giving them a second glance.
This feeling was truly pleasant.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but giggle.
"Xiaoyu, why are you laughing?" Lin Yue, hearing the voice from behind, turned around curiously.
"Ah… nothing, just thought of something funny," Zheng Xiaoyu quickly replied.
"Okay," Lin Yue nodded, then suddenly spoke up, "Last night they updated a 3-person S-level instance, do you want to join us for a strategy session after class?"
Zheng Xiaoyu's expression froze.
What?
She had to be a third wheel in the instance too?
"Just like before, I'll compensate you with Dream World resources."
"Alright! Call me anytime!"
