Chapter 15: Supernatural, Descending Upon Reality!

After figuring out all the content of the 2.1 version update, Qin Chuan returned to the skill carry panel he had just been looking at.

Looking at the two active skills that could be chosen, Qin Chuan did not hesitate long and chose Undercurrent Bind.

Compared to Torrent Break, which is purely for attack, Undercurrent Bind has more directions of use and potential; the fact that the Water Leaf Dog could use it to unexpectedly defeat a Shadow Leopard much higher in level is clear proof.

Passive Water Master, active Undercurrent Bind.

After confirming the skills to carry, Qin Chuan no longer cared about the update's new features.

For this new feature to take effect, the dream world entrance must close eight hours later.

During these eight hours, we can't just stand around waiting foolishly.

"Shui Hua, let's start building the house!"

"Woof!" (Good!)

Watching Qin Chuan turn and walk back to the shelter, Shui Hua wagged its tail eagerly and followed.

"Alright, just like that." Qin Chuan nodded satisfactorily, "Let's continue."

Seeing Shui Haul bring over a vine rope, Qin Chuan laughed as he took it, threaded it through the hole at one end of a wooden post, then through another post, after several passes tied a dead knot, and pulled both sides tight to reinforce.

Laying a rain‑proof roof, reinforcing the walls and pillars, piling up a simple stove…

After making holes at both ends of all the timber, Qin Chuan stretched, was about to start the next step, but then heard Shui Hua's voice from beside him.

After exhaustedly finishing all the work, sitting by the fire eating grilled fish, looking at the shelter that now looked proper, Qin Chuan and Shui Hua's faces were full of delighted smiles.

It now shares a secret with Qin Chuan!

This feeling of being trusted made Shui Hua especially happy.

Not long after, the shelter's frame was completely finished, only details remained to be filled in.

The person and beast quickly went to the previous rocky platform; seeing the already‑treated wooden posts, Qin Chuan found a thin stone needle, and with the help of glowing charcoal, bit by bit carved out, finally making two finger‑wide holes at both ends of the wood.

The person and beast pulled hard on both ends, and soon the rope knot tightened under the tension to the point it could not be undone.

"Eat more." Qin Chuan again gave a big piece of fish meat placed on the leaves spread on the ground, watching Shui Hua eat heartily, he casually opened the panel and glanced at the time.

"Woof!" (I want to help too!)

Immediately after, came the second, then the third.

Shui Hua clenched the rope with its teeth, nodding excitedly to show it understood.

"Woof!" (Understood!)

Shui Hua nodded heavily, its face showing more delight.

"Woof!" (Here!)

Just now Qin Chuan was silent, his expression constantly changing, leaving it a bit at a loss; seeing the familiar Qin Chuan return, it couldn't help but ask the question weighing on its mind.

Watching Shui Hua approach and stare at his own hands, Qin Chuan thought for a moment, then handed one end of the rope to Shui Hua, saying, "Let's both pull hard on opposite ends."

"Woof?" (Why did everything just stop a moment ago?)

"Um… that's my ability, it has to be kept secret."

This little wooden cabin was built by their joint effort!

Seeing this, Qin Chuan grabbed the other end of the rope with both hands and began counting down "three, two, one."

【07:52:13/08:00:00】【00:00:01】

If one is not careful, the time for this entry into the dream world is about to end again.

But sharpening the knife does not delay the woodcutter; having a fixed shelter makes living and searching for important items in this area much easier going forward.

"Shui Hua, later we'll go nearby to see if we can find that special fruit again," Qin Chuan said softly.

The "later" he mentioned naturally refers to the next time entering the dream world.

"Woof!" (Good!)

Shui Hua excitedly wagged its tail.

Speaking of which, it's strange that when players enter the dream world from reality, their spirit recovers as quickly as after sleep, without affecting their actions in reality the next day.

In the dream world, players likewise do not feel fatigue, and spirit beasts are the same.

From the first meeting with Shui Hua until now, twenty‑four hours have passed, and Shui Hua's spirit remains just as high, completely free of fatigue or drowsiness.

"Next, we need to get your level up to Lv10 as soon as possible." Qin Chuan smiled, "Once you reach that, you will face advancement."

"Advancement requires gathering special resources." Thinking of this, Qin Chuan let out a slight sigh, "I don't even know if there are any suitable ones around here."

In the dream world forum these past two days, a few lucky ones have directly contracted a very high‑level juvenile stage, already reaching Juvenile Stage Lv10 and facing advancement.

But let alone completing advancement, most haven't even found a single required resource.

While speaking, Qin Chuan casually opened Shui Hua's panel.

After a casual glance, his gaze slightly tightened.

After entering the dream world this time, he had already looked at Shui Hua's panel.

But now, compared to eight hours ago, the panel has undergone some changes.

Previously Shui Hua's spirit beast level experience was (6/100); now it has become (8/100), an increase of two points.

Besides that, Shui Hua's affection has risen from 72% to 73%, an increase of 1%.

The slight increase in spirit beast experience should be natural growth.

But what situation is this increase in affection?

Qin Chuan couldn't help but glance at Shui Hua.

"Woof?"

Shui Hua finished eating the fish, lifted its head, and looked at Qin Chuan.

Seeing Shui Hua's affectionate gaze, Qin Chuan understood.

It should be that earlier, when he and Shui Hua jointly built the wooden cabin, this period of interaction raised Shui Hua's affection for him.

He vaguely grasped something.

So the increase in favorability relies on companionship and coexistence?

Forget it, I won't think about it for now.

Qin Chuan stared intently at the time until the entrance closed, which was getting closer and closer.

【07:59:59/08:00:00】【00:00:01】

【08:00:00/08:00:00】【00:00:02】

【Dream World Entrance Closed】

——

Under the alarm clock, Qin Chuan woke up, he rubbed his brow.

At the moment the Dream World Entrance closed, his stopped time increased by another second.

This shows his previous guess was correct.

By relying on daily entry into the Dream World, he can continuously accumulate stopped time, and then use it when needed.

Qin Chuan's action of rubbing his brow paused slightly.

He suddenly sensed something unusual.

Although he had already returned to the real world, there was a bright spot in the upper right corner of his vision, like the panel that was retracted in the Dream World.

With curiosity, Qin Chuan casually clicked the bright spot, and then lines of text appeared.

【Current Supernatural Value: 256】

【Current Passive Skill: Water Master】

【Current Active Skill: Dark Current Bind】

This is... a new panel!

Qin Chuan leapt up from the bedside, stood before the washstand on the balcony, and turned on the faucet.

Water "gushed" from the faucet, then surged into the air under Qin Chuan's gaze, like a fountain.

Qin Chuan casually pointed again, and the water flow gathered at his fingertips into a round water sphere.

Under Water Master, Qin Chuan, who initially controlled the water flow, felt as ease as moving his limbs.

Supernatural, at this moment descended upon reality.
