Chapter 237: Fourth Hall-tier Player!

I didn't expect the S-rank secret realm to appear so quickly.

Looking at the announcement before her, Yue Li couldn't help but sigh, "The conquest target of the A-rank secret realm is already Epic Tier Lv50, so the S-rank secret realm's conquest target should be the next tier after Epic Tier."

"After tomorrow's refresh, we can give it a try," Qin Chuan said, though his expression was not relaxed, and even his tone seemed somewhat solemn.

"Are you worried that an S-rank dungeon will also appear in reality?" Seeing Qin Chuan's thought, Yue Li spoke softly.

"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded, briefly telling Yue Li about his situation in Prisoner's Valley, "I can confirm that dungeons above A-rank definitely exist, just like the S-rank secret realm, they didn't appear immediately after the 2.3 update."

"I understand what you mean." Yue Li understood.

If an S-rank dungeon appears and Qin Chuan also cannot complete the conquest within 72 hours, the S-rank dungeon will turn into a channel descent.

If it's like yesterday, the dungeon will also increase in level upon descent, making it utterly a dead end.

"We'll know the result tomorrow." Yue Li spoke softly, "No matter what, there will always be a way."

A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

If that dire situation truly came to pass, she would certainly join forces with Qin Chuan at the first moment.

"That's all we can do." Qin Chuan nodded, "No matter what the future holds, the most important thing at this stage is still to increase our strength."

"I'll try the exclusive conquest." His eyes held a hint of anticipation.

In the case of the exclusive conquest boss, Shui Hua can easily attach water-flow marks to the opponent; if enough marks are stacked, a single Duan Kong Ming Flow Slash can instantly kill.

This way, the progress of the exclusive conquest will increase greatly, allowing a large amount of conquest points to be obtained in a short time, for upgrading the group formation chart.

With the guild members' strength increased, subsequent secret realm conquests and exclusive conquests will also become easier, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

【Exclusive Conquest:】

【Current Target: No. 15 Goreleo】

【Current Progress: 1%】【Start Conquest】

Yesterday's exclusive conquest killed the 12th conquest boss; today, after Yue Li and other guild members jointly conquered it, they barely managed the 13th and 14th, earning 7000 and 7500 conquest points respectively.

The formation 【Void】 has been upgraded by Qin Chuan to Lv9, only 500 points away from reaching Lv10.

Once both 【Destruction】 and 【Void】 reach Lv10, the first major formation in the group formation chart can begin to be upgraded.

Yue Li invested all her personal points into her personal formation chart; her personal formation chart upgrades faster than the group's, and she has already seen the effect of the first major formation.

If the effects of the major formations on the two charts are no different, then for all guild members, the major formation can be said to be a tremendous boost.

A flash of light, and Qin Chuan, with the three little ones, vanished from the spot.

Exclusive Conquest, begin! —

"Truly surprising news."

On the grounds of the Luoyue Guild, a brown-haired man in a black windbreaker looked at the server-wide announcement before him, his face showing an expression of astonishment, and after a moment he suddenly smiled.

"Looks like I came at just the right time."

"Indeed." The Iron Hammer beside him laughed heartily, "After today, I believe more players will come to our guild for interviews; then the interview competition will become even tighter, Mr. Leonhart, your timing is just right."

"May I conveniently ask what the interview entails?" The brown-haired man asked with a smile.

"The vice-chairman previously said it could be disclosed." The Iron Hammer chuckled, "But even if the interview content is disclosed, it probably wouldn't help much."

"The so-called interview is merely a conversation with the vice-chairman, after which the vice-chairman decides whether the interviewee stays or leaves."

Leonhart blinked, unable to help but speak up to confirm.

"Vice-chairman, you mean Yue Li?"

"Yes." The Iron Hammer nodded.

"Like that…" Leonhart crossed his arms, his expression becoming somewhat more serious.

"Mr. Leonhart, don't be too nervous; I personally think highly of you." The Iron Hammer patted Leonhart's shoulder, "Although I don't know why, as an American you can speak fluent Russian, yet your player name is in Chinese."

But the guild indeed needs players skilled in multiple languages; this way, as the guild recruits players from various language regions, communication will become much easier.

"My player name uses a Chinese phonetic transliteration, simply because I like Chinese culture and don't have a definite Chinese name." Leonhart smiled, "But hearing you say that, I feel much more at ease."

After all, in reality I am a translator, and I have mastered quite a few languages.

If this can count as a bonus, it's truly a blessing from God.

——

"Finally managed to burst the Hall Tier Crystal!"

In a B-rank secret realm, Long Ji laughed heartily, one hand tightly gripping a splendid crystal wrapped in an invisible force.

Although Hall Tier Crystals can now drop from B-rank secret realm conquests, the drop rate is indeed low.

Even a B-rank 5-star difficulty secret realm has only a 10% chance to drop.

After the initial pioneering period ended and the keys and stones required to steadily enter B-rank secret realms were obtained, all elite players of the Special Affairs Group threw themselves wholeheartedly into conquering B-rank secret realms to obtain Hall Tier Crystals.

The conquest targets of B-rank secret realms are all Hall Tier Lv40 Spirit Beasts; within the secret realm players cannot use their talents, and although Ji Huai has mastered Spirit Descent, Spirit Descent can only be used in reality and is useless in the Dream World.

Everyone starts from the same line; the only difference likely lies in the Spirit Beast itself.

Therefore, for the Special Affairs Group to conquer a B-rank 5-star secret realm, they must gather five elite players, whose contracted Spirit Beasts are both maxed in number and tier.

All members of Longmen No. 1 Guild are elite players; they are divided into four teams, each team conquering at least two B-rank secret realms per Dream World day.

At this rate, over the past few days they have obtained only two Hall Tier Crystals through secret realm conquests.

Now, at last, there is a third one.

"Muscle fanatic, it's up to you!" After leaving the secret realm, Long Ji handed the Hall Tier Crystal to Ji Huai, his expression expectant, "Our Special Affairs Group finally will have a Hall-tier player!"

Ji Huai silently accepted the Hall Tier Crystal.

All Hall Tier Crystals are prioritized for him, not the two gold-talented players of the Special Affairs Group; this is a resolution unanimously passed by the higher-ups of the Special Affairs Group.

And the reason is also simple.

So far, besides him, no one has mastered Spirit Descent.

He, who can defeat enemies by crossing a tier with Spirit Descent, prioritizes strength increase, which is more helpful for dungeon strategy.

Light flashed, Ji Huai's third Spirit Beast broke through.

The fourth Hall-level player appeared.

"What a pity, we were one step behind." Long Ji spread his hands, "Zefina broke through first, the limelight was all taken by the Silver Dagger."

"Who knows how much support those Western guys gave the Silver Dagger behind the scenes."

"We Yanhuang have made a move; how could other countries not have?" Feng Yin shook her head slightly, "Seeking the limelight isn't important to us."

"We won't be recruiting outsiders."

"Moreover, hasn't Luo already stolen the limelight from the Silver Dagger?"

Long Ji stroked his chin.

"Seems so, huh."
