Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 48: Superheavy Water Core! (8/10 Massive Update, Please Follow!)
Posts like Qin Chuan's, which were temporarily blocked and then unblocked, were not few.
To others, it was as if sightings had sprung up overnight everywhere.
The entire Dream Realm Forum was bustling, with many people asking about specific sighting locations and other details under Qin Chuan's post.
Qin Chuan quickly glanced over, without responding.
He opened other apps to find that almost all social media platforms had this announcement pinned at the top, and the news was repeatedly broadcasting it.
Even the launch of Blue Star version 2.2 didn't cause such a stir, the last time anything like this happened was when the announcement for Blue Star version 2.1 came out, bringing Extraordinary Powers into reality.
The reason was simple, the mutation of animals posed a great threat to human societal order.
What was once a problem amongst Transcendents had now become a problem between humans and animals.
How to handle it specifically, the Special Affairs Group was probably still figuring that out.
It was commendable that they could respond so promptly to the initial signs of mutation.
Quietly lamenting the troublesome times, Qin Chuan reopened the Dream Realm Forum and entered the Dream Exchange.
Regardless, only by becoming stronger himself could he better cope with various emergencies.
Though it had only been online for a day, the Dream Exchange was fully functional.
Unlike normal transactions with money, at this stage, over ninety percent of the transactions in the Dream Exchange involved bartering, with few willing to sell Low-level Resources for cash.
Bartering had one drawback, though: both parties often found it hard to be satisfied.
For instance, as Qin Chuan browsed, he found the Water Purification Stone and the Superheavy Water Core needed for Water Flower to Advance, but the providers didn't need the Burning Flame Skull; they wanted other resources in exchange.
Such situations were common in the Dream Exchange.
To address this issue, the Dream Realm Forum had a very intelligent trade filtering feature.
You just had to enter the resources needed and provided, and the forum would automatically filter and complete multi-party trade matches in a manner similar to connecting trains.
For example, A's resources to B, B's to C, C's to A, to get around the limitations of bartering.
If he still couldn't find the desired resources this way, Qin Chuan would have to list his Burning Flame Skull and wait for others to match with him.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan was quite lucky.
Although he had no success finding the Water Purification Stone, he managed to match with two possible trade routes for the Superheavy Water Core.
One of them, the holder of the Superheavy Water Core, was in a neighboring city, expected to arrive the same day once the trade began.
Without hesitation, Qin Chuan chose this option, selecting his home as the delivery location, with the pickup time set to immediate.
After initiating the trade, Qin Chuan quickly washed up, got dressed neatly, and sat at the edge of his bed, casually browsing the forum posts while waiting for the courier.
The forum's posts were sorted by the latest comments, most relating to sightings of mutated animals. Compared to the bizarre appearances of other mutated animals, the black cat Qin Chuan saw was almost normal.
The weirdest sighting was of a mutated octopus that nearly made Qin Chuan's sanity drop at a glance.
However, his scrolling finger paused midair very soon.
He saw a post unrelated to the mutated animals.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
But the post's title was particularly eye-catching.
"District 2819, the First Growth Rank Spiritual Beast Appears!"
So soon?!
Qin Chuan's gaze sharpened as he quickly clicked in to check.
The poster was a player from District 2819 who claimed that the top player on the Juvenile Stage Spiritual Beast List had suddenly vanished. He thought the other party had died and deleted their account, only to find them on the Growth Rank Spiritual Beast List.
Many players from District 2819 bubbled up in the comments to confirm this.
Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh.
Out of the billions of players, there was no lack of formidable individuals.
Yesterday's trade could only bring back a single Low-level Resource, meaning this advanced player had already obtained two advancement resources prior.
Whether it was due to luck or strength, or perhaps both, wasn't clear.
The appearance of a Growth Rank Spiritual Beast added a sense of urgency to Qin Chuan's mind.
It was foreseeable that, after today, there would be more and more Growth Rank Spiritual Beasts.
He looked forward even more to getting the Superheavy Water Core quickly.
He didn't have to wait long before a man dressed as a courier knocked on Qin Chuan's door, showing his credentials from the Extraordinary Affairs Group to prove his identity, carefully verified Qin Chuan's identity, and after confirming it was correct, took away the Burning Flame Skull.
Seeing the trade status of the Burning Flame Skull change to "in transit" on the transaction page, Qin Chuan silently prayed for a smooth process and then stepped out the door, backpack on.
Breakfast was at the same breakfast shop at the entrance of his residential complex.
Different from the previous frowns and worries about the calamity brought by the Extraordinary Descent, the shop owner was now in a good mood every day, even greeting Qin Chuan, a regular customer, with enthusiasm.
The reason, again, was simple: the shop owner had contracted a Spiritual Beast in the Dream World, becoming a Transcendent himself.
And of the Fire Attribute.
With more adept control over the temperature of flames, his cooking skills had improved over his previous standard, earning praise from the regular customers.
Apparently, he was planning to add fast food service at lunch and dinner.
Becoming a Transcendent didn't mean one had to make waves or create havoc.
The contentment of such ordinary people was also there to be found.
As usual, Qin Chuan ordered two buns and a bowl of soy milk, enjoying his meal when suddenly, a dog's bark and several cries of alarm sounded nearby.
Glancing over, a Husky as large as a calf with red eyes was charging towards them like a madman, its canine teeth far bigger than those of a normal dog; even with its mouth closed, they couldn't be hidden, adorned with strange stripes all over its body.
Those sitting at the temporary tables outside the shop were stunned.
They had just been discussing mutated animals, and even at that moment, the TV at the shop entrance was broadcasting related reports; was a mutated animal really appearing before them?
Qin Chuan's brow furrowed, ready to stand up, but someone was faster.
The two men nearest to the mutated Husky, both Transcendents, stood up and intervened right away, with other seated Transcendents reacting and stepping in to help.
The recently mutated animal's strength was still within a controllable range, and even the intelligence-spiking chaos-maker couldn't withstand the combined efforts of several Transcendents.
By the time the Special Affairs Group arrived in response, the Husky was already bound, having lost its combat ability.
The Special Affairs Group took the mutated Husky away, along with its owner who had only just arrived on the scene.
The Transcendents who had intervened returned to their seats amidst applause, unaffected and still cheerful as if the recent event was nothing notable.
After taking a sip of the sweetened soy milk, Qin Chuan's mood improved inexplicably.
At that moment, he suddenly understood the true significance behind everything the Special Affairs Group had done since the update of Blue Star.
