Chapter 219: Consecutive dungeon clears

The real world.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes and immediately checked the dungeon status.

【Dungeon: 1722/1845】 【Available attempts today: 1】

The dungeon count had thoroughly stabilized at four figures, causing Qin Chuan's good mood in the Dream World to fade a bit.

After clearing two A-level dungeons in a row yesterday, he got busy with other things and didn't continue to monitor the dungeon count changes.

Today is the third day of the Blue Star 2.3 version update, and the earliest refreshed dungeons will enter the final 24-hour attack countdown.

Hope the number of dungeons isn't too high.

After silently praying in his heart, Qin Chuan opened the dungeon list.

At the very top, there were as many as five A-level dungeons.

These were the ones that refreshed successively yesterday after he and the Special Affairs Group cleared the previous three A-level dungeons.

Seeing this expected result, Qin Chuan felt a mix of happiness and unhappiness.

Based on the growth trend of these A-level dungeons, once his strength is enough to easily clear A-level dungeons, he probably won't need to worry about running out of Time Stop.

But his strength is still insufficient now.

So the state of expenses exceeding income will have to continue for a while.

Thinking of the remaining 39 seconds of Time Stop after leaving the Dream World, Qin Chuan sighed and his gaze fell on the topmost A-level dungeon.

【Dungeon: Mariante Flying Dragon Valley (A)】 【Available】

【Recommended Player Level: Hall of Fame level】

【Participant limit: 3】

【Horizontal difficulty rating: ★★★★★】

【Dungeon remaining attack time: 61:27:22】

It's decided, it's you!

A flash of light, and Qin Chuan's figure had already vanished inside the rental house. —

Qin Chuan, who originally planned to clear all five A-level secret realms refreshed yesterday today, failed to carry out his plan smoothly.

Because the Special Affairs Group's chief strategy team, led by Ji Huai, was competing with him for dungeons.

Coincidentally, a 1-star difficulty A-level dungeon refreshed today; shortly after Qin Chuan entered Mariante Flying Dragon Valley, Ji Huai and the others entered this dungeon and obtained an SSS rating.

By the time they came out, Qin Chuan had already been inside the second dungeon for a while.

Then, Ji Huai and the others entered the second A-level dungeon.

When Qin Chuan emerged after successfully clearing the second A-level dungeon, only the final A-level dungeon remained available for attack.

The Special Affairs Group's move elicited a remarkably calm reaction from Qin Chuan.

After all, the dungeons aren't his family's property; everyone relies on their own ability.

Having cleared three A-level dungeons in a row, the gains already left him quite satisfied.

What's more, he was already in a state of expenses exceeding income; after three A-level dungeons, his Time Stop was down to 34 seconds, and that still needs to include the extra 3 seconds gained from exiting the dungeon.

Finally, he cleared a B-level dungeon, and Qin Chuan began to tally his gains.

A B-level dungeon with an SSS rating yields one purple item equipment, one blue item equipment, and one blue title.

An A-level dungeon with an SSS rating yields two purple item equipment and one purple title.

Just from today's attack gains, there are seven purple items, one blue item equipment, three purple titles, and one blue title.

And this also gave rise to a new problem.

When selecting a dungeon, you can only see its name, level, and difficulty; it's impossible to know beforehand what rewards lie inside. Titles aside, they always have situations where they're useful.

But some of the item equipment Qin Chuan currently has on hand are unsuitable for him and Yue Li.

At the same time, there are some item equipment he wants but cannot obtain.

For example, the blue item he obtained yesterday, Caila's Restorative.

He used this item during today's attack on the A-level 5-star dungeon Mariante Flying Dragon Valley; it worked very well, and if similar items exist, he wants to stockpile some for emergencies.

Wanting to solve this problem, the method is also quite simple.

That is, to trade with others.

At present, the Dream World Exchange has seen a few trades of dungeon item equipment, but just as when the Dream World Exchange first opened and trading Dream World resources was chaotic, the market for dungeon item equipment is currently in disarray.

Therefore, a more reliable trading platform is needed.

Coincidentally, as Qin Chuan was thinking about this problem, Ji Huai and the others completed their clearance of the second A-level dungeon.

Long Ji called and got straight to the point: 'The Special Affairs Group intends to integrate dungeon item equipment and Dream World resources, launching a more comprehensive and perfected trading platform.'

'Good thing.' Qin Chuan thought, 'sleepiness meets a pillow,' and said, 'Please elaborate.'

'Our initial idea is to use Special Affairs points for trade.' Long Ji spoke slowly, 'Previously, Special Affairs points were used as usual, but going forward they can not only be exchanged for Dream World resources, but also for item equipment obtained from dungeons.'

'Likewise, item equipment obtained from dungeons and Dream World resources can both be exchanged for Special Affairs points.'

Qin Chuan understood.

This amounts to expanding the scope of Special Affairs points, while simultaneously opening the previously half-open Special Affairs shop to all players.

'The technical staff are working overtime; this platform can be launched at the latest by tomorrow, but there's still a small issue that might require your help.' Saying this, Long Ji felt a bit embarrassed.

'Go on.' Qin Chuan spoke calmly.

'Dream World resources have basically stabilized in price, with little controversy, but the resources obtained from dungeons are currently experiencing extreme price fluctuations, and the market is in chaos.'

'The Special Affairs Group's market experts have already, based on actual supply-demand relations and the value-effectiveness of dungeon resources, formulated a set of reference price ranges.'

'But to have other players accept this price when the platform launches, we need to prepare some item equipment in advance to serve as price benchmarks.'

Qin Chuan somewhat understood the other's meaning.

If the platform launches, players flooding in will be able to see the item equipment of each level and their prices; when they trade among themselves, they will naturally refer to these prices, and thus the current market chaos will soon be resolved.

At the same time, Qin Chuan also understood the other party's purpose.

"I really have a few pieces of unused equipment; what price are you planning to offer?"

"We'll buy at a 20% premium over the benchmark price!" Long Ji spoke without hesitation, "You can first look at the price range we've offered."

Saying that, he sent a document to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan opened it, glanced twice, and nodded in satisfaction.

According to the price standard listed here, a piece of blue equipment is worth 1-5w, while a piece of purple equipment is worth 20-50w in special event points.

"Send someone to receive it."

After saying that, Qin Chuan hung up the phone and began checking the equipment list.

There were a total of 11 purple resources; after Qin Chuan's screening, only 5 remained.

【Purple】 Kasaka Ban's "Core"

【Purple】 Salas's Dragon Slayer Blade 【Purple】 Shadow Robe

【Purple】 Griffin Guard Gauntlets

【Purple】 Dain's Fearless Mark (End of Chapter)
