Chapter 50: New Ability, Player Talent! (1010 Explosive Update Seeking Followers!)

Just the exposure of the official level promotion condition made Qin Chuan feel quite a sense of abundant gain.

His affinity with Shui Hua had already reached 78%, with no issues in that regard.

Once Shui Hua advances, he can smoothly promote to an official-level player.

Qin Chuan then continued reading.

When a player promotes from trainee to official level, they gain a second contract slot for a second spirit beast; since transcendent value equals the sum of each contracted spirit beast's species value multiplied by affinity, two contracted spirit beasts directly double the transcendent value upper limit.

Qin Chuan already knew this.

However, the subsequent content is all new.

After a player breaks through to official level, the number of active skills they can carry increases to two, and a skill resonance effect is added.

If multiple carried active skills come from the same contracted spirit beast, all of that spirit beast's skills carried by the player will be strengthened to a certain degree, including passive skills.

The more active skills carried from the same contracted spirit beast, the stronger the skill enhancement.

According to the information's introduction, two active skills from the same contracted spirit beast can produce a Resonance 2 effect, giving each skill a 5% enhancement.

In the future, as more skill slots become available, resonance will inevitably become a factor that must be considered when selecting carried skills.

However, being overly fixated on resonance and carrying all skills from the same contracted spirit beast is not good either, because carrying skills from different contracted spirit beasts means diversification of attributes and abilities.

The simple analysis of resonance and future skill carrying in the information gave Qin Chuan a feeling of having his horizons broadened.

He couldn't help but continue reading, and soon a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

When a player promotes to official level, they will unlock a brand-new ability.

This ability is called Player Talent.

Player Talent can only be used in the Dream World, divided into six color tiers—white, green, blue, purple, red, and gold—with clear differences in strength between tiers, and the specific effects of the talents are myriad and varied.

White, green, and blue talents each have one talent effect; purple and red talents each have two talent effects; gold talent has three talent effects and also possesses uniqueness.

The so-called uniqueness means that while the other five tiers of talent could be obtained by multiple players, once a gold talent is acquired, no second player can obtain it.

There are only nine such gold talents in total.

The way players obtain talent is by drawing from the talent pool; each player has three draws, from which they may choose any one talent, and once chosen, it cannot be changed unless they die and reset.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan had already turned to the end of the information.

But the waves in his heart had not calmed; instead, they grew even more tumultuous.

"Qin Chuan, what tier of Player Talent did 'Zhan Dao' obtain?" Xiao Pang turned to look at Qin Chuan, "He knows so much; could it be that his Player Talent is gold?"

"This information should be introduced after obtaining the new function." Qin Chuan spoke slowly, "Just like when the leaderboard was opened, introducing the daily and weekly settlement rewards."

"As for 'Zhan Dao's Player Talent, that probably won't be revealed." Qin Chuan shook his head, "From the introduction one can see that Player Talent is very important."

"If Player Talent were exposed, one would likely be targeted."

"That makes sense." Xiao Pang nodded in realization, then couldn't help exclaiming, "Truly, many hands make light work; I never expected 'Zhan Dao' to be a member of the Special Affairs Group."

Yes, after reading this information, everyone realized that.

Only thus can it explain that after Zhan Dao's breakthrough, the Special Affairs Group immediately added related information. "This is a good thing; if 'Zhan Dao' were a bad person, at this stage it would probably be hard for anyone to deal with him." Qin Chuan smiled, "That would be the worst outcome."

"Huh?" Xiao Pang soon showed another look of surprise, "'Zhan Dao' himself has appeared! He posted!"

Qin Chuan took a close look and quickly discovered that a pinned post had appeared in the discussion area.

The post's name is very simple.

《I Am 'Zhan Dao'》

The content is his brief statement: he said he would enter the Dream World tonight, his contracted spirit beast would reach Growth Tier Level 20, and he would attempt to contract a second spirit beast; tomorrow he will share the various requirements for raising a spirit beast from Growth Tier to Elite Tier.

At the same time he also said that the rewards for the Growth Tier Spirit Beast Ranking are much greater than those for the Juvenile Tier Spirit Beast Ranking, hoping everyone breaks through soon; currently, the Growth Tier Spirit Beast Ranking has only him, which is lonely.

Seeing this somewhat pretentious post, Qin Chuan, in anger…

clicked to favorite and set an update reminder.

The class bell rang soon; looking at the teacher entering the classroom, the room instantly fell silent. Qin Chuan quickly glanced, confirming there were no other posts worth noting, then closed his phone and opened his textbook.

Listen attentively!

Perhaps because he was stimulated by Yue Li in the Dream World yesterday, Qin Chuan felt that he listened more attentively in class today.

Only when the bell for the last morning culture class rang did he lift his head like a dead fish floating in the sea of knowledge.

Xiao Pang stretched, then pulled Qin Chuan along to the cafeteria to get a meal.

Not yet arrived, he saw many students returning from the cafeteria with helpless expressions; upon inquiry, he learned that the cafeteria had unexpectedly closed today.

As for the reason, the cafeteria's ingredient storage discovered a mutated mouse; the mouse had been caught, but it was unknown whether it was poisonous, so those ingredients dared not be used for cooking.

"In that case, we can only eat off-campus." Xiao Pang shrugged, unable to help complaining, "The phenomenon of mutated animals is far too frequent, isn't it?"

"Indeed." Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

Yesterday evening after school, running into each other on the way home; having breakfast at school, running into each other once; at noon, the cafeteria had another appearance.

No one can match this frequency.

"Fortunately, these mutated animals are not strong at this stage." Qin Chuan spoke softly, "Ordinary people also have a fighting chance; transcendent beings facing them can easily suppress them directly."

"So often, the Transcendent Affairs Group merely sends people to clean up the aftermath."

"Just afraid they grow too fast." Xiao Pang muttered casually.

After this incident, the two had no appetite for a big meal; they ordered two plates of fried rice off-campus to fill their stomachs, then returned to the classroom.

However, not long after entering the classroom, a man in a delivery uniform walked in and called Qin Chuan out.

This sudden movement caused other students to show puzzled expressions.

When did the school allow delivery personnel onto campus? Only Qin Chuan quickly realized and strode out.

Ordinary delivery personnel are naturally not allowed onto campus.

But who could stop a delivery person from the Transcendent Affairs Group?
