Chapter 117: Kangni: Luo Must Be Fate!

"What are you looking at me for?" Seeing Xiao Pang's strange expression, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I don't even know who would be this lucky."

Perhaps his own breakthrough stimulated Ericte.

His move was too showy, but it indeed is a method.

Rare-type resources are regional resources, only transferred within a single game zone, so each zone will have at least one; looking across the entire Dream World, there are at least 9999 identical resources.

Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men.

Under the temptation of 100 million dollars, many will surely put down what they're doing to search for him the intermediate resource called Light Refining Mystic Stone.

The man who first exposed himself has been showing his cards all along, but he holds many bombs in his hand, and indeed he has the confidence to show his cards.

This bomb is not only a card, but also a literal bomb.

Qin Chuan can be confident that, going like this, Ericte's spirit beast will break through to Elite Tier soon; once he and Yue Li advance to Elite Player, the other side will catch up at the latest in a week.

How many players can continue to spend money like him?

That is turning passive into active, just as he initially proactively sought out a stronger Shadow Leopard.

But to make up for this disadvantage, in Qin Chuan's view it's very easy.

Thinking this, Qin Chuan suddenly thought of another Golden Talent player.

But merely breaking through to Elite Tier requires spending so much money to catch up with him and Yue Li; upon reaching Hall Tier, can that male lion still continue?

Lock onto Ericte's position.

"100 million dollars is indeed a lot; I'm even a little tempted." Xiao Pang smacked his lips, then realized he'd been led astray by Qin Chuan, "No, Ericte is going to move against Luo; aren't you worried for Luo?"

What is this guy doing today?

He casually opened the Dream World forum to search that name, and soon saw discussions about him.

Ericte's zone 2761 is not close to zone 3675; in between lie over ten zones.

However, Qin Chuan also has his own plans and intentions.

Songban Zhìguì.

The biggest drawback of Time Stop is that it cannot be used at any time; it only takes effect when each Dream World entrance closes.

By then, he and Yue Li will have advanced; the third talent of the Sundial need not be used solely to find resources, it can be used elsewhere.

Given Ericte's character, each time he passes through a zone he will still briefly linger as before, letting more players challenge him or take the initiative to attack, expanding his retinue.

If Ericte still insists on targeting him by that time, he doesn't mind consuming one use of the third talent effect and a few seconds of Time Stop to relight one of the nine already dimmed Golden Talents.

Although he was surprised by Ericte's actions, he never underestimated this western male lion; a single breakthrough to Elite Tier can shake off most players, but shaking him off is not so easy.

Thus Qin Chuan could only offer a small defense for himself: "Luo is indeed dangerous, but I think he should have prepared before his breakthrough."

When to start the war, he decides.

Thus, at least two or three weeks will pass before the other side can reach zone 3675.

For example…

Besides the Sundial, he also has Time Stop.

Last night, Songban Zhìguì still hadn't killed anyone, so discussion heat was low, completely overshadowed by the news of Shui Hua's breakthrough to Elite Tier.

But there are still people paying attention to Songban Zhìguì.

Thus Qin Chuan quickly obtained the information he wanted.

Songban Zhìguì's position moved from zone 6132 to zone 5933.

Witnesses say that one of his contracted spirit beasts is no longer the one previously rumored online; it seems he replaced his original contracted spirit beast with a horse-type spirit beast of extreme speed.

In one Dream World day, crossing two longitudinal zones and one lateral zone, even the swiftest spirit beast must maintain full speed throughout to make it possible.

Doing nothing, just changing zones?

Such deliberate movement, combined with an increasingly clear direction, almost confirms Qin Chuan's yesterday's seemingly absurd guess.

The other side's target is Ericte.

"Qin Chuan, come out for a moment."

The homeroom teacher's voice interrupted Qin Chuan's thoughts.

He raised his head; the homeroom teacher was beckoning from outside the classroom door, face lit with joy.

"Coming!" He replied, and Qin Chuan hurried out of the classroom.

"The admissions officer from ZhenDan University wants to talk with you; don't be nervous later." The homeroom teacher encouragingly patted Qin Chuan's shoulder, "I heard about your evaluation yesterday; you performed excellently, and the teacher is proud of you."

"Come with me."

"Okay." Qin Chuan nodded, quickened his pace to follow, though he felt some doubt.

He still thought the next university to come looking for him would be Hua Qing.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean.

Not long after leaving the streaming room, Ericte was together with Kangni, the possessor of the Insight Talent.

"Kangni, do you think the 'Luo' from the East might be a possessor of a Golden Talent?" Ericte half-closed his eyes, enjoying the beauty's massage, then suddenly asked.

"That ancient country has over a billion people, and also an organization like the Special Affairs Group; having one or even several of the nine Golden Talents appear there is not surprising." Kangni looked at the stack of information in his hand, "As for whether 'Luo' is one of them..."

"I can only say, there's a high probability."

"And he should be the Fate you're looking for."

"The goddess of fortune turning out to be a man is truly a nauseating piece of news." Ericte shrugged, pulling the beauty behind him into his embrace, "What's the reason?"

"Luo had an astonishing record during his apprentice stage." Kangni pointed to a line on the information, "He used a level 7 Water Leaf Dog to single-handedly kill a level 12 Shadow Leopard."

"Apprentice stage..." Ericte showed an interested expression, "Without talent, how did he manage?"

"Traps, or something else? Who knows." Kangni replied casually, then steered the topic back, "The point is, despite such a record, he was still on the juvenile spirit beast ranking after the first weekly settlement."

"This is enough to show one thing: Luo is not a member of the Special Affairs Group."

Otherwise, the Special Affairs Group's initial resource tilt could not have overlooked such an outstanding trainee as him.

In that Eastern country, the Special Affairs Group is the only extraordinary organization permitted to exist." Kangni spoke in a low voice, "Luo is not a member, so his identity can only be that of a lone wolf player.

The only golden talent insight that could have resource detection effects is mine, but unfortunately it actually does not have such talent effect.

Therefore, Luo's Spirit Beast was the first to break through to the Elite Tier, and there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that he really had dog-shit luck, found a rare-type resource, and it just happened to be what his Contract Spirit Beast needed." Kangni's voice paused slightly, "After all, at this stage he cannot find a player who can exchange rare-type resources with him.

As for the second possibility…

He can make himself lucky.
