Chapter 234: Top Ten Guilds, a New Hall of Fame!

Dream World.

Qin Chuan, who had just regained consciousness, immediately opened the secret realm information.

After clearing two more A-rank 1-star secret realms, he would have gathered the six epic-grade resources needed for Shui Hua's advancement; combined with his equipment already upgraded to Lunar Halo level 10, this would allow Shui Hua to break through to the Epic tier.

Moreover, Shui Hua's favorability had risen to 99% through daily interaction and consecutive equipment crafting and enhancement.

This final step, if all goes well, will allow them to break through together at the moment of breakthrough.

A 100% favorability means he is one step closer to Spirit Descent.

Because his attention was focused on choosing the secret realm, Qin Chuan failed to notice the exchange of glances between Yue Li and Hong Ye when they entered the Dream World; shortly after, he lifted his head and watched Yue Li approach.

"Today's target has been chosen."

"Good." Yue Li smiled, about to speak, when Tie Chui from not far away suddenly walked over with a solemn expression.

"President, vice president, a new Hall of Fame-level player has appeared."

"Everyone on the server-wide channel is discussing this."

Qin Chuan and Yue Li exchanged a glance and simultaneously opened the server-wide channel.

Because too many players were online at once, the chat experience was terrible when the channel first launched; later, everyone seemed to realize this and avoided sending unnecessary messages, which improved the situation somewhat.

At this moment, due to re-entering the Dream World, the server-wide channel experienced a brief lull in messages.

A brand-new, explosive topic appeared at this moment, instantly unifying the chaotic server-wide channel's discussion.

"Ze Fei Na?" Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

That name, though unfamiliar, carried a hint of familiarity.

Soon, Qin Chuan recalled the reason for that hint of familiarity.

Initially, he was the first player server-wide to own an Elite Tier Spirit Beast.

But Yue Li was not the second.

There was a female player named Ze Fei Na from the Everlasting Nation who, at an auction, snatched a rare-class resource at an astonishing price, becoming the second player to possess an Elite Tier Spirit Beast.

After that, she seemed to fade from everyone's sight.

Qin Chuan's only impression of her was that she was wealthy yet low-key.

Now, she has become the first player after him and Yue Li to break through to the Hall of Fame level.

"This is the president of the Secret Silver Dagger Guild." Tie Chui, who clearly paid close attention to and understood other guilds' situations, said, "The Secret Silver Dagger Guild is currently ranked third, just like our Luoyue Guild, having chosen to settle in a specific area and openly recruit members."

"Third place, that's impressive." Yue Li, somewhat surprised, opened the guild ranking list and began checking.

Tie Chui continued, "Our guild has been out for several days now; the rankings have basically stabilized, we've remained first, but the guilds behind us are not to be underestimated."

"The guild ranked second in total points is Dragon Gate No. 1 Guild; they filled their membership on the first day the guild appeared, and although the secret realms they tackle are much weaker than those of the president and vice president, thanks to their numerical advantage they earn large amounts of points from clearing volume, closely chasing us."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered slightly.

This guild is composed of the strongest batch of players from the Special Affairs Group.

It can be said to be the aggregation of the Special Affairs Group's strongest force, with no weak members among them.

Due to the cooperative relationship between the two sides, Qin Chuan knows the detailed circumstances of some of its players.

One can only say that, without the advantage of tier, Luoyue Guild, with its current membership size, could never have maintained first place.

"Then comes the Secret Silver Dagger Guild; it currently has a scale of 13 guild members, and I've heard that their guild's threshold for player talent is higher than player level, requiring talent of purple or above to join."

"At present, only our three guilds have reached Guild Level Lv2, while the other guilds are still at Lv1." Tie Chui emphasized this point.

Reaching Guild Level Lv2 unlocks things that are extremely crucial.

"Next is the fourth-ranked guild, the Aspiration Society…"

Among the top ten guilds, the Special Affairs Group occupies four seats, namely Dragon Gate No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 Guilds.

This is related to the Special Affairs Group's personnel allocation strategy.

According to Qin Chuan's knowledge, the Dragon Gate n-number guilds wholly composed of Special Affairs Group internal members total 100; other Special Affairs Group members organizing non-official players have formed tens of thousands of semi-official guilds, and finally what remains are guilds self-organized by non-official players.

The Dragon Gate top-ten guilds gather the Special Affairs Group's finest players.

Taking the No. 1 Guild as the spear tip, the other nine guilds as the blade, they watch over and assist each other.

After Tie Chui finished introducing the situation of the top ten guilds, Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, "You just said the Secret Silver Dagger Guild has settled in an area; where is it located?"

Ze Fei Na's rapid rise to Hall of Fame level, the Secret Silver Dagger Guild's ability to achieve such a high point ranking, and being the first after Luoyue and Dragon Gate No. 1 to break through to Lv2, made him somewhat concerned.

"Area 2457." Tie Chui pointed north, "It's right to our true north."

"2457..." Qin Chuan frowned and opened a complete map of the Dream World.

That is the map displayed after using the third talent of the sundial; at this moment, on the map there is a bright dot at a location somewhat distant from him.

That is the traceless target locked on, Ao Li Er Jia.

Calculating the time, she has been locked on for over ten days.

Although she is a Golden Talent player, Qin Chuan naturally would not be careless or underestimate her.

He checks her position at least once a day.

After the 2.3 version update, Ao Li Er Jia's activity range noticeably shrank, confined to a single area.

And that area is Area 2457.

Qin Chuan slightly raised his eyebrows and clicked on the light point corresponding to Ao Li Er Jia.

He wanted to see what this woman was up to.

——

"It's truly wonderful!"

Ao Li Er Jia slapped a palm on a wooden table, her expression quite excited, "Ze Fei Na, everything is just as you anticipated."

"Calm down, Ao Li Er Jia." A woman with a graceful figure sat on the other side of the wooden table; compared to Ao Li Er Jia, her words and deeds naturally carried an air of elegance and maturity.

Ze Fei Na leisurely brewed herself a cup of red tea, "I have to say, the tea leaves in the Dream World are far superior to those in reality; would you like a cup?"

Want! Oli Erjia took a cup of tea from Zephina's hand, hehehe laughed, "No wonder you got the Hall Crystal yesterday but insisted on breaking through today; turns out you wanted the server-wide channel to notice this."

Controlling public opinion is the simplest thing. Zephina took a sip of tea, "Before long, the Mithril dagger will be able to gather enough players."

After the player limit is reached, we will adopt an elimination system, gradually weeding out purple-talent players." Her eyes flashed with light, "Purple? That's just a transition; what we ultimately want is for all guild members to have red talent."

These red talents should preferably all be different.

After all, I like the feeling of stamp collecting.

Gathering nine gold talents together wouldn't that give a greater sense of achievement?" Oli Erjia sipped her tea, chuckling as she spoke.

Although I like stamp collecting, I know my own limits better." Zephina tapped Oli Erjia's forehead, her expression tinged with indulgence, "I won't be impulsive like you."

Ignoring Oli Erjia's pout of dissatisfaction, Zephina lowered her gaze slightly, looking at the clear black tea in the cup.

Two, that's enough.
