Chapter 143: The Ripple Caused in Reality (April 2150 Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)

After turning off the ringing alarm clock, Qin Chuan slowly sat up from the bed, and the last smile Yue Li had on her face lingered in his mind.

Calculating the time, they had known each other for almost a month; in the Dream World, their relationship grew ever closer, yet they tacitly avoided probing each other's real-world identities.

However, their strength kept growing, and the attention they received increased as well.

One day their identities would inevitably be exposed to the public, at which point they would no longer be secrets to each other.

He rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up quickly, and Qin Chuan opened the Dream World Forum.

Over the past two days, Zone 3273 has shown signs of becoming the center of the storm.

Yesterday, when he and Yue Li entered Zone 3273 and were in the same zone as Ailikete, the whole world's attention had already turned to this region that accounted for only one ten-thousandth of the Dream World.

As expected, the Dream World Forum had completely descended into chaos.

After a night passed, various changes within the Dream World were successively revealed online, shaking the entire world.

First, Insight lit up again! As of today, many new players are promoted to Official Rank each day, drawing player talents to escape the Novice Stage.

However, few people pay attention to those players who are N steps slow anymore, after all the nine Golden Talents have all dimmed, and no matter how lucky they are, they can only obtain Red Talents.

However, just last night, when the newly promoted players checked the Talent Pool, they simultaneously discovered that, starting from a certain moment, one of the nine Golden Talents that had always been dim at the top layer of the Talent Pool had lit up again.

Insight!

Four hours after it lit up, the Insight Talent dimmed once again, but the hidden information it contained left everyone excited and trembling.

One of the owners of the nine Golden Talents died in the Dream World, and that Talent gained a new owner! Although it had been speculated that when a Golden Talent owner dies, the Talent returns to the Talent Pool to await redraw, this situation actually occurring still made many hidden forces unable to resist stirring thoughts they had never acted upon before.

Another hot topic of discussion was the battle in Zone 3273.

Long Ji's deployed domain could not escape everyone's notice.

After all, a hemispherical light membrane five kilometers high is still very conspicuous even hundreds of miles away.

Moreover, a few players who were close enough and bold enough tried to enter before the domain dissipated, personally experiencing the feeling of their Talent effects being disabled.

Combining the successive changes in the Spirit Beast Ranking, player battle records, and the discussion of the Talent-disabling domain, after summarizing and organizing the timeline, a part of the important events that occurred yesterday in Zone 3273 was successfully inferred by those with intent.

After Ailikete had his Soul-Lifting Talent disabled by an unknown force, he was defeated by the teamed-up Luo and Yue Li; both of his Contracted Spirit Beasts died, but he did not delete his account.

Having successfully escaped, he newly contracted a Spirit Beast and encountered Songban Zhigui, who had consecutively broken through and contracted a third Spirit Beast that day; he used this Spirit Beast to defeat him.

Kangni's strength was merely that of an Official Rank player; he had not truly entered the public's view, and only a very few players knew that alongside Ailikete there existed such a companion.

Therefore, Kangni's removal from the Growth Tier Spirit Beast Ranking did not attract much attention or speculation, and the relighting of Insight had not been linked to Ailikete's battle.

Moreover, Long Ji, who killed Kangni by overpowering the weak, did not even show up on the Spirit Beast Ranking's battle records, and likewise did not enter the public's sight.

In the partially inferred truth, the mysterious domain capable of disabling Ailikete's Soul-Lifting Talent sparked great discussion.

Only another Golden Talent can counter a Golden Talent.

Holy Domain, a Talent previously discussed relatively little, became the greatest possibility.

Because Long Ji was not discovered, the Holy Domain Talent fell upon Luo and Yue Li.

Prior to this, Luo and Yue Li, who had consecutively been the first to break through the Elite Tier, had already been guessed by many players to possibly also possess Golden Talents.

In their understanding, among the nine Golden Talents, only Insight and Life Prayer could help in seeking rare resources. Now, after Insight lit up again and then dimmed, it eliminated a wrong answer for them, and the emergence of Holy Domain gave them a whole new possibility.

Thus, a guess that made Qin Chuan laugh and cry at the same time gained the approval of most people.

Luo is the owner of the Life Prayer Talent, and Yue Li is the owner of the Holy Domain Talent.

Good news, from beginning to end no one suspected the sundial's tip.

Bad news, these people's blind guess still pushed the two into the spotlight.

Chang Jinze's phone call came in at this moment.

On the other end of the line, Chang Jinze's voice carried a hint of oddness: 'Thank you.'

Qin Chuan: '…'

He naturally knew what the other party was thanking him for.

Yet he could not explain this matter to the outside.

'Special Affairs points compensation!'

'No problem, no problem.' Chang Jinze readily agreed, then his tone shifted, bringing a hint of caution: 'Speaking of which, you really aren't the Life Prayer Talent?'

'No.'

Qin Chuan spoke faintly: 'If I find resources for myself, that's my luck; if you find resources for yourself, that's your luck; then if I help you find resources, what kind of luck is that?'

Qin Chuan, who clearly understood every effect of the Life Prayer Talent, knew it was very hard to help others find resources; at most it could be used by Yue Li herself.

So, he actually wasn't worried about being suspected of having the Life Prayer Talent.

Because the ability he displayed before the Special Affairs Group conflicted with it.

'Sorry, just personal curiosity.' Upon hearing this, Chang Jinze's last trace of doubt dissipated; he also knew his earlier question had been a bit presumptuous, so he decisively shared an important piece of information as compensation: 'The new owner of Insight is a member of the Special Affairs Group.'

'Congratulations.' Qin Chuan wasn't too surprised, but he still let out a sigh of relief.

Although many new players who drew talents in the Dream World yesterday were promoted to Official Rank, they could not compare to the organized, disciplined Special Affairs Group that had prepared and laid out plans in advance.

Seeing the forum say that Insight had dimmed again, he guessed it was likely the Special Affairs Group had succeeded; now, he merely turned that guess into a definite conclusion.

'The third effect of Insight can predict the future, unfortunately usable only once every seven days; if you have a need in that regard, I can try to secure it for you.' Chang Jinze's voice gained a hint of smile: 'The new owner and I are on good terms.'

'Then thank you; if I have a need, I'll bring it up.' Qin Chuan smiled on his face, but inside he muttered 'mmp', decisively deciding to keep his distance from Chang Jinze from now on.

He did not want Insight to see his Talent.

He would look for an opportunity to pin down the new owner of Insight, and thereafter avoid him.

After brushing off a few remarks and hanging up, Qin Chuan then noticed the message he had received during the call.

Just a glance, and his expression turned solemn.
