Chapter 14: Skill Carry

Huh?

Qin Chuan glanced at Xiao Pang, picked up his phone, and entered the Dream World forum.

Upon entering, a document was pushed to his face in a pop‑up window, and it could not be closed directly; it was the type that had to be read.

However, after seeing the document's title, Qin Chuan did not intend to skip it.

《Yanhuang State Special Affairs Provisional Management Measures (First Edition)》

Without hesitation, he clicked it, and Qin Chuan's face quickly showed an expression of shock.

This… is actually a management measure targeting the abuse and crime of supernatural powers in the real world; although it is only the first edition, it already has actual legal effect.

Because the next Dream World entrance opening has not yet arrived, the specific way the Dream World affects reality is unknown, so this management measure's many descriptions of supernatural abilities are quite vague.

But Qin Chuan read it from start to finish, yet found almost no loopholes to exploit.

In just a few hours after the update announcement appeared, they discussed, reviewed, and signed such a regulation; the Special Affairs Group's efficiency once again shocked Qin Chuan.

"It's no wonder it's our Yanhuang speed!" Xiao Pang beside him put down his phone, his face showing a rare solemnity, "The Dream World hasn't affected reality yet, but the management measures have already been issued."

"The Special Affairs Group had previously come to the school specially to give lectures, sharing various important information." Xiao Pang's voice paused for a moment, "Qin Chuan, what do you think the situation is abroad now?"

"I don't know, but it probably won't be too good." Qin Chuan shook his head.

As for the situation abroad, those who understand, understand.

"Fortunately, we were born in Yanhuang." Xiao Pang grinned, his face showing a bit of relief, picked up his bag and walked toward the classroom back door, "Let's go!"

Qin Chuan stood in place for a moment, picked up the wilderness survival guide and stuffed it into his bag, then left the classroom without looking back.

——

"Let's just use this plan."

Qin Chuan opened the wilderness survival guide, his eyes fixed on the step diagram above.

He finally settled on a plan that was not too complicated but sufficiently sturdy for building a shelter; choosing this plan, he could complete the shelter construction upon entering the Dream World tonight.

This way, he could also be considered to have a crude base in the Dream World.

After carefully noting the steps, Qin Chuan was about to turn off the light and sleep when he heard a faint arguing voice from next door.

Could it be Tongtong's parents arguing?

Thinking of the cute girl who gave him candy this morning, Qin Chuan frowned slightly, couldn't help but put down the guide in his hand, sat up from the bed, and moved closer to the wall.

The arguing voice became a little clearer; although he still couldn't make out the exact words, he could tell it was an argument between two men.

It seems not to be Tongtong's parents arguing.

Qin Chuan dismissed his earlier guess, and immediately heard a loud door slam.

Footsteps passed by in front of his own door, followed by the sound of going down the stairs.

Qin Chuan felt a stir in his heart, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked toward the unit door below in the moonlight.

Soon, a thin man walked out of the unit door, then raised his head and stared at the window beside Qin Chuan.

In the moonlight, his face bore a gloomy and resentful look that made one's heart palpitate.

After just a glance, the man hurriedly left, apparently not noticing Qin Chuan's peeking.

Qin Chuan silently lowered the curtain.

That man was not Tongtong's father, but the other person arguing with him.

He didn't look like a good person at all.

Forget it; every family has its own difficult sutra to chant.

After a slight shake of his head, Qin Chuan returned to bed, glanced at the time, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

——

Idly grabbing a floating leaf before him, watching the multicolored bird above fly farther and farther until it became a tiny dot in his field of view, Qin Chuan turned his gaze to the panel before him.

【Player Name: Luo】

【Player Level: Trainee】

【Contract Slot: 1/1】 【View】

【Item Equipment Slot: 0/10】 【View】

【Skill Carry】 (Not Set)

【00:00:16/08:00:00】 【00:00:01】

Skill Carry…

Is this the content after the update?

Qin Chuan clicked without hesitation, and a brand‑new panel appeared before him.

The panel split into two halves: left side had an icon, right side was an empty box, with a plus sign in the middle, and at the lower‑right corner were two more icons.

Qin Chuan was not unfamiliar with these three icons.

The left icon corresponds to the Water Master, while the lower‑right icon corresponds to Dark Current Bind and Torrent Break.

In the upper‑right corner of the panel, a flashing question‑mark icon attracted Qin Chuan's attention.

Upon clicking it, lines of text appeared.

【Skill Carry function activated: players can select skills to carry; Spirit Beast passive skills are carried by default, active skills can be chosen to carry; the number of carried skills is determined by player level; different Contract Spirit Beast active skills can be carried simultaneously】

【Each time entering the Dream World, settings are reset; when the Dream World entrance closes, the last Skill Carry setting is retained, allowing players to use the carried skills in the real world】

"I… damn!"

After finishing reading the Skill Carry introduction, Qin Chuan opened his mouth, momentarily speechless.

The Skill Carry after the update exceeded his imagination in some ways.

Most importantly, it's still the last sentence: "Players can use the carried skills in the real world."

Qin Chuan read it over three times and confirmed that it was the player who uses them, not the Spirit Beast.

Combining with the content of the first paragraph, he can next choose one active skill from Dark Current Bind and Torrent Break.

After this Dream World Entrance closes, he can use the selected skill and Water Master in the real world.

He could hardly contain his excitement; Qin Chuan suddenly thought of another item in the update announcement.

Affection.

He immediately opened the Contract Slot and looked at Shui Hua's panel.

【Spirit Beast Species: Water Leaf Dog】

【Spirit Beast Attribute: Water】

【Spirit Beast Level: Juvenile Stage Lv5】 (6/100)

【Spirit Beast Trait: Plant Recognition】

【Spirit Beast Base Value: 350】

【Spirit Beast Affection: 72%】

【Spirit Beast Skills: Water Master (Passive), Dark Current Bind (Active), Torrent Break (Active)】

【Spirit Beast Introduction: Water Spirit Beast Water Leaf Dog, keen senses, naturally curious, loves exploration, friendly personality.】

Just like the skill carry panel earlier, now the upper-right corner of the Spirit Beast panel also has a blinking question mark.

Click it.

【Affection refers to the Spirit Beast's affection toward the player, which can be increased through interaction, up to 100%; the sum of the products of all Spirit Beasts' affection and their base values equals the extraordinary value, used to quantify the player's strength in the real world.】

Qin Chuan: "!!!"

Just now he was still wondering how to judge which is stronger when using Spirit Beast skills in the real world; he didn't expect affection to already give the answer.

Base value depends on the Spirit Beast's level.

Affection is increased through daily interaction.

So by cultivating feelings with the contracted Spirit Beast in daily interaction and making them stronger, he himself becomes stronger in the real world.

This is the form of power projection from the Dream World onto the real world!
