Chapter 224

How good is the effect of the comprehensive direction?

Yue Li was also quite surprised.

Generally, being versed in everything means not excelling in anything.

But the comprehensive direction of the Halo equipment is different.

It is not a simple multi-dimensional improvement; there are correlations between them.

"I don't know what the Halo stat for the attack direction will be." Yue Li couldn't help but look forward to it, "I have a feeling it will give us a surprise."

"After Shui Hua's equipment is crafted, it becomes Ice Cream." Qin Chuan smiled, "We'll find out then."

Ice Cream's stat direction is attack, which was decided earlier.

"Maybe Xiaoqing and ice cream are happening at the same time." Yue Li said with a smile, "I've already gathered four pieces, still need five."

"In three days, Xiaoqing's Moon Halo equipment can start being forged."

"Even if you use all your points to exchange, you still have to wait three days."

"Indeed." Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

By exchanging personal points for guild store resources and temporarily forgoing the boost from personal battle charts, Qin Chuan's speed in gathering Moon Halo equipment materials was twice as fast as Yue Li's.

As for epic-tier resources, Qin Chuan likewise obtained more than Yue Li.

This had nothing to do with points; it was Yue Li who voluntarily relinquished the secret realm's most important drop resources.

In her view, all the secret realm's subjugation targets were resolved independently by Qin Chuan.

Even with Qin Chuan's insistence, this stubborn girl ultimately agreed only to a distribution scheme where she received one out of every three items.

Therefore, of the five random epic-tier resources they had obtained, four were in Qin Chuan's hands.

Shui Hua was still two pieces away from breaking into the epic tier.

"Tomorrow's two random epic-tier resources will all go to you." Yue Li said softly, "Let Shui Hua break through to the epic tier first, then I'll take them later."

"All right." Qin Chuan looked at the girl before him, "Let's head back to the guild; it's a good chance to have Tie Hammer help Shui Hua raise Jinglan to Moon Halo level 10 as well."

Yue Li raised her hand, and the understanding Xiaoqing flapped its wings, its body swelling with the storm, revealing the colossal form of the Hall Tier, carrying the two of them and other companions up into the sky.

Watching the scenery below rush backward at high speed, Qin Chuan suddenly recalled something: "By the way, I'm going to Yan Da tomorrow."

"Huh?" Yue Li snapped her head toward Qin Chuan, eyes filled with surprise and panic, almost blurting out, "Registration deadline is the day after tomorrow; it's fine if you come later."

"Although the registration deadline is the day after tomorrow, I've never been to Yan Jing, so after registering I'll definitely need to familiarize myself with the surrounding area." Not seeing Yue Li's odd expression, Qin Chuan voluntarily explained, "There's an early morning flight tomorrow."

"Mm… pretty good." Yue Li glanced aside, speaking somewhat vaguely, "Coincidentally, I also plan to set out tomorrow for university registration."

"Looks like we're thinking of going together." Qin Chuan smiled wryly.

Yue Li nodded, but a worry began to stir in her heart.

She had agreed with Xiao Yu Jie that the other would accompany her early tomorrow for registration, but now changing the time seemed already too late.

Forget it, Yan Da is so big! Yue Li assured herself.

How could it be that easy to run into? — As a matter of fact, neither Qin Chuan nor Yue Li had guessed correctly the number of players who came for today's interview.

A full seven players showed up for the interview, leaving both of them quite surprised.

But after Yue Li spoke individually with each interviewee, the results were far from ideal. Although all seven players were not weak, Yue Li never had the thought that "this player would be a good fit for Luo Yue."

Even she herself began to wonder when she had become so picky.

In the end, Yue Li could only attribute it to the guidance of fortune and politely declined the seven players.

On the other side, with Tie Hammer's assistance, Qin Chuan raised Jinglan to Moon Halo level 10.

【Jinglan (Moon Halo 10): Control duration increased by 100%, final damage dealt to controlled targets increased by 60% and marked; marked targets deal 40% less damage to the user.】

There was a feeling of satisfaction, as if an obsessive compulsion had been fulfilled.

"Thanks." Qin Chuan produced two universal intermediate resources and handed them to Tie Hammer, "Yī fú lín already has the ability to conquer C‑level dungeons; you too should feel confident in strengthening yourself."

Given Tie Hammer's help to him and Yue Li, this little return is nothing.

"I'll take it." Tie Hammer smiled as he accepted the resources, without declining; he merely mentioned Yī fú lín, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, "Yī fú lín hasn't yet reached the point where I can feel at ease."

"What's up?" Sensing that Tie Hammer had something more to say, Qin Chuan couldn't help but grow curious.

"Well… it's like this." Tie Hammer paused, then told Qin Chuan about Evelyn's performance today: "Although she realized her mistake and tried to make amends to Hongye before I even spoke, which is commendable, a mistake is still a mistake."

"As an elder, this is ultimately my dereliction of duty."

"Tie Hammer, I think you're being too hard on yourself." Qin Chuan shook his head, "Yī fú lín is still young; she needs not only your precious experience, but also failure and mistakes."

"Failure and mistakes?" Tie Hammer murmured, shaking his head slightly.

"Luo, I understand what you're saying is right, but I'm a little afraid."

"If Yī fú lín makes a mistake, my strength probably isn't enough to make up for it…"

"What?" Qin Chuan puzzled by Tie Hammer's sudden despondency, but Tie Hammer had already risen and walked toward Yī fú lín, so he could only suppress his confusion.

The reprimanded little girl sat not far away; seeing Tie Hammer approach, her eyes visibly showed nervousness.

Qin Chuan did not step forward; he saw Tie Hammer, after squatting down, say a few words, and Yī fú lín's mood visibly improved—she jumped down from the wood pile, hurried toward Hongye, took her hand, and spoke in broken Chinese: "Sorry~"

From beginning to end, Honglei had not taken this to heart, laughing as she embraced Yī fú lín; the two girls whispered, and the small blow dissipated into nothing. —Real world.

After waking, Qin Chuan hastily finished his ablutions, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and looked at the already tidied rental.

By the door, two suitcases that had been packed in advance held everything he needed to take with him.

Time to go.

Leaving the place where he had lived for three years, to see a broader sky.

Qin Chuan gave his documents a final check, then pushed the door open and stepped out.

An hour later, a passenger plane took off from Changxing City Airport, carrying him away from the land that had nurtured him.

At the same time, Special Affairs Group units nationwide entered first‑level combat readiness.

After confirming that all 178 dungeons that first appeared in the Blue Star 2.3 version update had been completely cleared, with no descent onto Blue Star after the time limit ended—this good news was followed by a piece of bad news.

Of the three instances refreshed after an hour of updating, one is still being tackled.

That's just a D‑level instance.

But after checking past records, the Special Affairs Group found that instance had remained in that state for 71 hours and 36 minutes. —The 67 chapters owed from April have all been repaid; May's 150 monthly tickets, one chapter per ticket, currently owe 50 chapters—rush rush rush! It's been exactly a month since launch, reporting the results: average subscriptions 7400!
