Chapter 185: Blue Star 2.3 Version Update!

The real world.

Qin Chuan woke up immediately at the sound of the alarm.

He sat up, casually opened the Dream World Forum, and the news that he and Yue Li had both advanced to Hall-tier players had already become the hot topic of discussion across the entire forum.

Although their contracted spirit beasts had been breaking through Hall tier one after another, the whole world had already turned its attention to them, and everyone had expected them to be the first to reach Hall tier.

But breaking through on the night before the Blue Star update obviously carried some unusual significance, making this discussion broader and even hotter.

However, they were not the most discussed topic on the Dream World Forum today.

While the strength of top players is certainly noteworthy, what concerns people even more is something that relates to each player personally.

Blue Star, today it will undergo another update.

This is more important than anything else at the moment.

【New changes bring new demands; to optimize player experience and make communication between players more convenient, we have added the 【Friends】 and 【Channels】 features】

Without even reading it carefully, this update announcement gave Qin Chuan a feeling of massive information, because it was several times longer than the previous announcements.

The release times of the first three update announcements were all at 8:30 a. m. Beijing time.

As for the updates to the Dream World, they seem to be moving toward something better and higher.

At the same time, the appearance of guilds made it easier for players of similar strength to team up, defeat zone spirit beasts or clear secret realms to earn guild points; and according to the update announcement, higher guild points also bring rich rewards.

To Qin Chuan's surprise, this update greatly increased player interaction.

【As the spacetime connection between the Dream World and the real world gradually strengthens, extraordinary power has already planted extraordinary seeds in the real world; the newborn World Seed will inevitably attract covetousness from higher dimensions. For this, they have already made preliminary probes, fortunately these probes require the spacetime connection, and thus are also affected by the Dream World】

【Added 【Dungeons】; players in the real world must enter a dungeon within 72 hours of its birth to complete the conquest, otherwise the dungeon will descend into reality, and high-dimensional powerful beings will run rampant in the real world. If no one stops them, they will try to seize the World Seed, causing the world's source to wither completely】

【Added 【Secret Realms】; the entrance to a secret realm appears randomly in the Dream World, and the spacetime cleft has special restrictions. Upon entering, players cannot use their talents; defeating the powerful beings inside and clearing the secret realm yields rich rewards】

【Players whose strength has increased are no longer confined to a single zone; higher-level challenges are destined to require strong players to cooperate】

【Added 【Guilds】; players can create their own guilds. Once created successfully, all players in the Dream World can see it and apply to join. By clearing secret realms as a guild unit, players earn guild points, and guild point rankings bring rich rewards】

Secret realms, if nothing unexpected, are the way to obtain various resources after Hall tier to continue growing stronger; this can be seen from the rewards of the Hall-tier spirit beast ranking.

【In dungeons, players' talents will be changed to 【Dungeon Talent】; properly using this power to clear the dungeon and defeat the dungeon boss will earn players rich rewards】

This is also worth looking forward to.

【Blue Star 2.3 version update completed; as players' strength gradually increases, the Dream World can no longer fully withstand their power, numerous spacetime clefts appear, within which hide even more powerful beings—this is both a new opportunity and a new challenge】

In just half an hour, amid the tension and anticipation of countless people across Blue Star, it felt extraordinarily long.

Secret Realm Stones and Secret Realm Keys are both related to secret realms.

According to everyone's estimates, this should also be the case.

Finally, as the minute hand on the clock hanging on the rental house wall moved from '29' to '30', lines of text appeared before Qin Chuan's eyes.

The Friends and Channels features allow players in different zones to communicate with each other, unlike now, when things encountered in the Dream World can only be discussed and resolved in reality the next day.

【Next Blue Star update time: when the first player advances to Mythic tier】

But when Qin Chuan saw the update content regarding the real world, everything changed.

Has Blue Star's power already attracted covetousness from higher dimensions?

If a dungeon is not cleared within 72 hours of its appearance, its entrance will appear in the real world, and the powerful enemies inside will enter reality?

Qin Chuan remained silent and opened his own panel.

【Current Supernatural Value: 114800】

【Dungeon: 174/178】 【Today's available attempts: 1】

【Item Equipment Slots: 0/20】 【View】

【Current Passive Skills: Star·Water Master, Star·Frost Cold, Star·Dark Flame】

【Current Active Skills: Star·Breaking Frost Slash, Star·Seek Frost Trace, Star·Azure Snow Gauze, Star·Lingering Frost Domain】

【Items Carried: 0/1】 【View】

【Resonance 4: Skills Star·Frost Cold, Star·Breaking Frost Slash, Star·Seek Frost Trace, Star·Azure Snow Gauze, Star·Lingering Frost Domain gain 20% enhancement, unlocking Spirit Descent: Frost War Spirit】

【Activate Spirit Descent】

To test the effect of Resonance 4, Qin Chuan this time selected four active skills of the same spirit beast; although Silver Horn is strong, its consumption is too high to sustain, while Snow Cake balances strength and endurance.

Coincidentally, after obtaining the skill Star·Lingering Frost Domain, Qin Chuan has not yet properly used it in reality.

Looking at the dungeons that could already be viewed, Qin Chuan casually opened one.

Soon, a list of dungeons appeared.

【Dungeon: Aikaya Eagle Valley (A)】 【Available for conquest】

【Recommended Player Level: Hall tier】

【Player limit: 3】

【Horizontal difficulty rating: ★★★】

【Dungeon remaining conquest time: 71:56:22】

——

【Dungeon: Screaming Demon Lake (A)】 【Available for conquest】

【Recommended Player Level: Hall tier】

【Player limit: 1】

【Horizontal difficulty rating: ★★】

【Dungeon remaining conquest time: 71:56:22】

——

【Dungeon: Klieak Giant Peak Mountain (B)】 【Available for conquest】

【Recommended Player Level: Elite tier】

【Personnel limit: 6】

【Horizontal difficulty rating: ★★★★★】

【Dungeon remaining strategy time: 71:56:22】

——

【Dungeon: …】

Qin Chuan slid down the dungeon list from top to bottom, quickly realizing the current situation.

174/178, indicating that 178 dungeons have been refreshed at this moment, of which 4 dungeons have already been selected by players for strategy, regardless of success or failure; before a dungeon's strategy is completed, other players cannot select the same dungeon for strategy.

In the moment he was checking, the number of dungeons already under strategy had already broken into double digits.

The dungeon rating lowest is D, corresponding to apprentice level; currently the highest is A, corresponding to hall-of-fame level.

Once the dungeon strategy time ends, what awaits Blue Star is the descent of dungeon creatures.

Low-level dungeons probably won't pose much threat, but as dungeon level increases, danger becomes very great, possibly even truly manifesting the situation described in the update announcement where the world's source is completely withered.

So, what dungeon should I choose…

Qin Chuan showed a thoughtful expression.
