Chapter 217: Planning the Use of Personal Points

Do you know each other?

Seeing Yue Li's reaction upon meeting the female player named Hong Ye, Qin Chuan curiously asked.

"Mm-hmm." Yue Li nodded, naturally stepped forward and took Hong Ye's hand, then turned to Qin Chuan and explained, "We did go to Dragon Gate Camp today, right?"

Hong Ye was in the camp at that time, because she asked about our guild's requirements for player talent, so I have a deeper impression of her.

After explaining, Yue Li smiled and turned to look at Hong Ye, saying, "Welcome to Luoyue Guild."

"You still remember me!" Upon hearing Yue Li's words, Hong Ye's eyes showed a look of surprise.

In her view, Luo and Yue Li were already the strongest players in the world, so they probably wouldn't pay much attention to a small fry like her; with so many players in Dragon Gate Camp, perhaps Yue Li would turn away and have no impression of anyone at all.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only had an impression of her, but even remembered the question she had asked at that time!

"So, you're here for our guild's interview?" Yue Li said with a light laugh.

Hong Ye quickly came to her senses, calming down from her excitement.

"Yes." She nodded, her expression becoming tense again, "What does the interview require?"

Tie Chui's expression shifted slightly, and he began tapping in midair.

【Tie Chui (5149): After Hong Ye arrived here two hours ago, she proactively offered to help me and Yi Fu Lin with guild construction.】

Upon seeing the message, Yue Li's eyes flickered slightly, her expression unchanged as she took Hong Ye's hand, saying, "Don't be nervous, just a chat."

The two walked aside, and under Yue Li's gentle voice, Hong Ye's nervousness eased considerably; soon they were chatting back and forth.

Qin Chuan glanced at the two women, didn't step forward, turned his head to Tie Chui beside them, and asked, "Tie Chui, haven't you joined the exclusive raid yet?"

"Not yet." Tie Chui rubbed his head, gave a hehe laugh, "Just now I was busy building the guild's framework, didn't have the time."

"Thanks for your hard work." Qin Chuan had already seen the guild's main hall with its preliminarily completed framework.

"It's no big deal; I've done similar work in reality." Tie Chui waved his hand, looking excited, "In the past, constructing a building required many people working together, but now with the assistance of Spirit Beasts, I can control it alone and finish it, and the efficiency is higher."

"I'll stop here for today; coincidentally, the guild leader and deputy leader have returned, so I can now proceed with the exclusive raid with peace of mind." Tie Chui gave a hehe laugh.

After making a slight adjustment, he disappeared on the spot with his Contract Spirit Beast.

After nodding at Yi Fu Lin, Qin Chuan walked aside and opened the guild store.

Actually, yesterday he had already checked the prices of those resources; today, after ranking settlement placed first, the guild store is at 50% off, and he can now use personal points to redeem.

He didn't buy immediately; he wanted to wait until after completing today's two A-rank secret realms to earn more points, then purchase everything at once.

Unexpectedly, after completing the raid, the guild happened to level up, unlocking a new feature.

Originally, personal points could only be used to purchase resources in the guild store, a single purpose, so using them naturally required no hesitation.

But now, personal points have two different uses: besides the guild store, they can also be used to upgrade the personal battle chart.

So how to use personal points needs consideration.

On the way back, Qin Chuan and Yue Li had actually already discussed this issue.

Personal points used in the guild store can buy equipment strengthening stones, equipment forging stones, lunar halo equipment materials, and epic-tier resources, with the purpose of helping Spirit Beasts break through the epic stage more quickly.

Personal points used to upgrade the personal battle chart are to enhance all attributes of the Spirit Beasts.

Essentially, both are ways to increase strength, but each has its own pros and cons.

The advantage of breaking through the epic stage is obvious: for Spirit Beasts, it is an all-around leap in power; once broken through, their strength can be greatly increased in a short time, and since their racial value also rises, players can similarly benefit in reality.

Upgrading the personal battle chart enhances the strength of all contracted Spirit Beasts, so the increase is not smaller than letting one Spirit Beast break through the epic stage; moreover, this enhancement can be realized immediately, without needing to gather all resources as required for a breakthrough.

However, the boost to Spirit Beasts from upgrading the personal battle chart does not affect reality; it only helps players in raiding secret realms.

After all, when upgrading the battle chart, the Spirit Beasts' racial value does not increase.

Besides that, there is another point that needs clarification.

Redeeming resources with personal points merely speeds up the Spirit Beasts' breakthrough.

Even without redeeming, Qin Chuan and Yue Li, by daily conquering A-rank secret realms, can still gather the resources needed for Spirit Beasts to break through the epic stage; it would just take longer.

However, using personal points to upgrade the personal battle chart cannot be replaced by any other means.

Considering the pros and cons of both ways to increase strength and whether they are substitutable, in Yue Li's view, using personal points to upgrade the battle chart is more suitable.

She chose to allocate all her personal points to upgrading the battle chart.

Qin Chuan, who had always agreed with Yue Li on many choices, made a different choice on this matter.

Because he has Time Stop.

Consequently, some issues naturally need to be reconsidered.

Letting his Spirit Beast break through the epic stage one day earlier would increase his real-world strength by a few points.

If his strength could reach the point where, without using Time Stop, he could clear A-rank dungeons and obtain an SSS rating, the situation where Time Stop's consumption exceeds its supply would be immediately reversed.

Therefore, Qin Chuan's choice is to first use personal points to accelerate the Spirit Beast's rank advancement, and once his strength is sufficient, then invest personal points into empowering the personal battle chart.

Upon entering the guild store, each resource and its corresponding price came into view.

【Selected Epic-Tier Resource, original price 100k points / current price 50k points】

【Random Epic-Tier Resource, original price 50k points / current price 25k points】

【Selected Lunar Halo Equipment Material, original price 60k points / current price 30k points】

【Random Lunar Halo Equipment Material, original price 30k points / current price 15k points】

【Equipment Strengthening Stone, original price 5000 points / current price 2500 points】

【Top-Grade Equipment Forging Stone, original price 1600 points / current price 800 points】

【...】

Good news: the top-grade equipment forging stone that I previously couldn't bear to buy in the achievement store has now become an easy purchase with personal points.

Bad news: the prices of other resources are still high.

The only cheap item, the equipment strengthening stone, is something Qin Chuan doesn't need to buy at all.

Perhaps considering that normal players fail many times when strengthening equipment, the drop rate of equipment strengthening stones in A-rank secret realms is much higher than other resources, but with the effects of Blessing and Divine Forging stacking, Qin Chuan and Yue Li basically don't need that many equipment strengthening stones.

Soon, Qin Chuan used 4.5w personal points to exchange for three random moon halo equipment materials.

First craft the moon halo equipment, then gather what is needed for advancement.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Shui Hua beside him.

If nothing unexpected happens, the breakthrough order naturally follows first-come, first-served.

It seemed to sense Qin Chuan's thoughts, and Shui Hua's eyes showed a hint of excitement and delight.

"Woof woof!"
