Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 54 Time Stop! Qin Chuan’s Ultimate Talent!
"I've decided to listen to you and give it a try," Qin Chuan said seriously as he looked at Yue Li.
"I believe you'll be able to draw a great talent!" Yue Li smiled encouragingly, then her tone shifted, "Did you open the random Starshine Equipment Material yet?"
"Not yet," Qin Chuan shook his head.
"I found out that self-selected Star Equipment Materials don't let you choose the type but the attribute and focus instead," Yue Li said, supporting her chin, "So I plan to check the Dream Realm Forum first for any useful advice, since making Starshine Equipment is still a long way off."
"Then I'll go first and set an example for you," Qin Chuan smiled.
The random materials didn't have this kind of concern.
With just a few minutes left until the Dream World entrance closed, Qin Chuan added two seconds to his Time Stop beforehand, so now he could do something else.
He took a bundle of silver light from his Item Equipment Bar, and the instant he took it out, the light froze into a strange metal with light aqua traces shimmering brightly, looking very dazzling.
[Congratulations Player for obtaining Starshine Equipment Material: Wind Trace Star Iron, suitable attributes: Wind Attribute, Gold Attribute, focus: speed]
Seeing the prompt before him, Qin Chuan had a strange expression on his face.
This piece of Starshine Equipment Material had nothing to do with Water Flower.
Well… as expected.
Seeing Yue Li casting curious glances his way, Qin Chuan took the initiative to introduce, "Wind Trace Star Iron, suitable attributes are Wind Attribute and Gold Attribute, focusing on speed."
Then, he suddenly glanced at Xiao Qing, thoughtfully.
"Isn't that just perfect for Xiao Qing?" Yue Li suddenly smiled, voicing the thing Qin Chuan had thought of.
She pulled out a golden light sphere and handed it to Qin Chuan, "Since that's the case, let's exchange!"
"Huh?" Qin Chuan looked at Yue Li in astonishment, "Using selected materials to exchange for my random materials?"
"But the material you randomly got is perfect for my Xiao Qing," Yue Li said earnestly, "Wind Attribute, speed, even if I chose myself, I would probably choose the same."
"Why not use your own and save the option to pick for yourself?"
Seeing Qin Chuan about to say more, Yue Li grinned, "We're friends, right?"
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Saying so, she pushed the golden light sphere towards Qin Chuan.
Seeing how Qin Chuan didn't get a good talent in his two draws, looking gloomy, Yue Li was thinking about how to cheer him up, and now she had a chance.
"Really give it to me?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but double-check.
"Put yourself in my shoes, would you be willing to swap with me?" Yue Li asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan hesitated no more and passed Wind Trace Star Iron to Yue Li, accepting the still-forming golden light sphere and placed it in his Item Equipment Bar.
"One more minute," Yue Li glanced at the time, reminding Qin Chuan, "You need to get ready for the draw."
"Okay," Qin Chuan nodded and reopened the talent draw screen, positioning his finger above the "Start Drawing" button, eyeing the countdown.
[08:00:00/08:00:02][00:00:07]
Everything around froze at that moment.
Without hesitation, Qin Chuan pressed "Start Drawing" and then anxiously looked at the terms.
Then, his expression suddenly turned blank.
Because the terms that should be scrolling quickly weren't scrolling at all.
Instead, the "Confirm Reserve" button below was glaringly bright.
After tentatively swiping the terms once, Qin Chuan used up the remaining seven seconds of Time Stop.
All in!
An anomaly occurred in talent drawing under Time Stop; scrolling talent terms turned into swiping them by oneself, and he had to consider whether this might be his only chance in life.
Give me… spin!
Qin Chuan's finger swiftly swiped over the terms, his eyes locked on each colored term that lit up, terribly afraid of missing one.
[08:00:02/08:00:09][00:00:00]
He saw the first shade of purple in his vision.
But, it wasn't enough!
Normally, a purple talent would have made him very happy.
But now, he had gone all in for nine seconds and was not content with just one purple talent.
[08:00:05/08:00:09][00:00:00]
After skipping over seven or eight purple talents, Qin Chuan saw a red flash before his eyes.
Red Talent!
For the first time, Qin Chuan's rapidly moving fingers paused.
[Return and Banish (Red)]
[Contracted Spiritual Beasts temporarily obtain a 200% speed boost, 20% Race Value increase; duration 5 minutes, cooldown 10 minutes]
[Obtain a waypoint; can teleport the Contracted Spiritual Beast to the waypoint location, usable once every seven entries into Dream World; waypoint location can be modified to any previously visited location.]
Qin Chuan's pupils contracted sharply, his face slightly contorting.
His heart wrestled with an unprecedented dilemma at that moment.
Should he give up this red talent in pursuit of a possible gold talent?
Or should he stop here, choosing the red talent that had not easily refreshed before him?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Qin Chuan clenched his teeth decisively after less than a second of hesitation.
Continue!
Even as he swiped, regret lightly touched his heart, but it was overwhelmed by an unprecedented nervousness.
He had actively given up a red skill.
If he couldn't draw another red skill afterward, then this gamble would result in a complete loss.
[08:00:07/08:00:09][00:00:00]
Watching the Time Stop nearing its end, Qin Chuan was only annoyed that he hadn't saved more Time Stop duration.
Had he known about the unexpected changes in talent drawing under Time Stop, he definitely would have saved up a month or two before trying.
But there weren't so many 'ifs' in the world.
[08:00:08/08:00:09][00:00:00]
A striking gold flashed before Qin Chuan's eyes, which halted all thoughts in his mind.
Gold!
Gold!!
Gold!!!
Without any hesitation, Qin Chuan firmly pressed [Confirm Backup].
[Sun Needle (Gold)]
[Passive; when resources are within one kilometer, initiation of guidance]
[Actively scan for all resources within ten kilometers each time he enters Dream World]
[Lock onto a specified target (player, resource, Spiritual Beast) within the entire map; when more than one of the specified target is present, only the nearest is locked; usable once every seven entries into Dream World.]
In the last instant, Qin Chuan only had time to skim through all the talent effects, then his consciousness came to a halt.
[08:00:09/08:00:09][00:00:01]
[Dream World entrance closes]
-----------------
"Phew!!!"
Qin Chuan suddenly sat up in bed, his face mingled with excitement and a bit of bewilderment.
Recalling his wild gamble and the gain in the last moment, he now felt an unreal sensation, as if he were dreaming.
He had obtained a gold talent?
Sun Needle?
In Qin Chuan's mind floated many speculations from the Dream Realm Forum about this talent.
Sun, as in sundial, an ancient device used to indicate time.
Sun Needle, the long vertical needle on a sundial.
Thus, many guessed that this talent might have something to do with time.
Ha, netizens indeed can't be trusted!
