Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 167: Luo Jun, Finally Found You! [Peripheral Activity Chapter] (April 2900 Monthly Ticket Bonus)
Although Qin Chuan was somewhat uneasy due to the sudden disappearance of Matsusaka Shigeki, he didn’t have many options at the moment.
Five days until the next refresh of the Third Talent of the Sun Needle.
Moreover, compared to tracking down Matsusaka Shigeki, obtaining the Hall Crystal was clearly a higher priority.
After regaining the Hall Crystal, Yue Li quickly planned a route that could take them away from their current area by over thirty districts, and that would also allow them to defeat three district Spiritual Beasts along the way.
The two set off at full speed and successfully arrived at their destination five days later.
"Luo, I’m starting now!"
Yue Li, having logged back online, was radiant. She first applied the second talent of Prayer to herself, then took out the stunning Hall Crystal from her Item Equipment Bar.
Without a refresh location for the Hall Crystal, she believed the outcome wouldn’t be as bad as last time.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
"Go ahead, my Sun Needle is ready," Qin Chuan said with a smile.
If, under the influence of Prayer, the refreshed Hall Crystal was nearby, then Yue Li could successfully regain the Hall Crystal once more without needing to use the Third Talent of the Sun Needle.
But if it was still far away, his Sun Needle was ready to be activated at any moment.
"I’ll try not to make you use it," Yue Li said playfully, winking, then inserted the Hall Crystal into the Advanced Array.
Accompanied by a burst of dazzling light erupting from Xiao Qing, its body quickly grew larger after a brief moment. Its wings, when spread, spanned fifteen meters, and a casual flap could stir up winds that made it difficult to keep one’s eyes open.
"Screech—"
Xiao Qing let out an excited cry and, like Water Flower, chose to reduce its size. It shrunk even smaller than it had been at Elite Rank, light enough to easily sit on Yue Li’s shoulder like during its Juvenile Stage.
Despite its small size, its formidable strength was not hidden at all.
Having been promoted ten days ago, Water Flower immediately cast an inviting glance for a challenge.
Once they were free, these good friends would have a good spar.
"Xiao Qing’s new skill is pretty good." After inspecting, Yue Li’s smile deepened, "The new skill, Star·Residual Wind Shattering Dome, can apply a ’Slicing’ effect to the target, causing sustained Damage and increasing the damage received by 10% for 3 seconds."
"Increasing damage?" Qin Chuan’s face took on an added smile.
This was good news.
The description of the bonuses differed, so the ways to calculate them could be stacked.
For example, if both the skill effect of ice cream and the term description of Starlight were "Attack Increase," then these attribute bonuses could only be added together. However, Frost Breaking Slash’s description was "Double the Damage," which could be directly multiplied with "Attack Increase."
Xiao Qing’s skill effect was "Increase Damage Taken," so it could once again be directly multiplied with Water Flower’s current damage, plus Silver Horn’s reduced defense. With these layered effects, Water Flower’s damage could become quite terrifying.
Additionally, this effect was equally immediate on other Spiritual Beasts, even enhancing true damage like Silver Horn’s.
This was the advantage of having multiple powerful Spiritual Beasts.
The skill effects of the Spiritual Beasts could be coordinated with each other, creating a "1+1>2" effect.
With multiple players collaborating, the stacked effects were greater and could bring larger benefits.
"Come on, let’s see where the Hall Crystal actually is."
Qin Chuan swung himself onto Water Flower’s back and reached out a hand to Yue Li.
Yue Li placed her hand in Qin Chuan’s, feeling a pull that suddenly hoisted her onto Water Flower’s back, seating her in front of Qin Chuan.
Once again feeling the warmth from his back, Yue Li reacted much better than the last time. She looked up expectantly at Xiao Qing soaring into the sky, then threw out a wooden stick.
The wooden stick landed, and Water Flower ran full speed towards the marked end.
Moments later, Xiao Qing’s sharp and excited screech came from above.
"Screech—"
"Did we find it?" Excitement filled Yue Li’s eyes.
How far had they gone?
They were less than ten thousand meters from where they had just used the Hall Crystal!
Though this distance was a bit longer compared to the immediate appearance within a thousand meters after the refresh of Rare Resources, the effect had already satisfied her greatly!
Soon, the small green bird rapidly flying in a certain direction returned, a cat-like Spiritual Beast in its mouth.
As it approached Qin Chuan and another, the body of the cat-like Spiritual Beast quickly blurred and eventually transformed back into a Hall Crystal in Yue Li’s hands.
"It seems the Hall Crystal refreshes are still within my Second Talent Effect," Qin Chuan smiled. "Knowing this, we won’t have to go through such trouble next time."
"After using the Hall Crystal once, I just need to use my Second Talent to find the next one."
"This one is for you," Yue Li smiled, handing the Hall Crystal to Qin Chuan. "Next time it’s my turn."
"Okay," Qin Chuan accepted and secured it.
"Next, I have an idea," Yue Li looked at the falling small green with a sparkle in her eyes. "Now that Xiao Qing has reached the Hall Rank and its speed has increased once again, it can cross ten areas in one day, covering thirty areas in just three days."
"Its size has grown a lot, enough to carry both of us and five Spiritual Beasts."
"How about we let Xiao Qing handle the journey from here?" Yue Li’s soft voice continued, her eyes shining brightly at Qin Chuan, "There are only ten days left until the next update."
"I want to... let you reach the peak of the current version before the update."
Qin Chuan fell silent.
Xiao Qing indeed was the fastest among those in its rank. Even after Water Flower reached Hall Rank and fully exerted her Water Dipping Skill, she was just slightly faster than Xiao Qing at Elite Rank.
Now that Xiao Qing had also advanced to Hall Rank, its speed naturally outstripped Water Flower.
This meant that their cycle of obtaining Hall Crystals had shortened from five days to three.
Today was the first day after the seventh weekly settlement, with only ten days left until the next update. If all went well, they could still obtain three Hall Crystals during these ten days.
Following the sequence of himself-Yue Li-himself, he could advance all Spiritual Beasts to Hall Rank and promote himself to Hall Level before the update.
The peak of the current version...
Qin Chuan looked at the girl in front of him, gently taking her hands.
He knew that this so-called peak was merely the result of the girl’s achievements.
With the refresh pattern of the Hall Crystal, she didn’t even need to rely on the power of the Sun Needle.
Yue Li, smiling, bravely met his gaze, her eyes seemingly holding a vast starry galaxy, more dazzling than bright lights and gentler than warm breezes. Qin Chuan’s throat moved, and he opened his mouth, intending to say something.
"Yah yah~ Did I interrupt the two of you?"
An annoying voice with a sardonic tone floated over from afar, Qin Chuan and Yue Li’s expressions changed, quickly directing their gazes into the distance.
A pale-faced man with scars was approaching with a fake smile, followed by three Elite Rank Spiritual Beasts.
[Player Name: Matsusaka Shigeki]
[Player Level: Apprentice Level]
[Contracted Spiritual Beast: Demon Flame Mastiff]
Matsusaka Shigeki!
Qin Chuan’s expression instantly turned solemn.
Looking at the young man and woman before him, Matsusaka Shigeki’s smile took on a playful edge.
"Luo Jun, I finally found you~"
