Chapter 53: Talent Extraction!

In this period, the most discussed topic in the Dream World forum was player talents.

Although the first formal-level player, 'Zhan Dao', did not disclose his player talent, later formal-level players who appeared one after another gradually revealed more details.

They did not disclose the player talent they ultimately chose, but they had no problem revealing the other two talents they had drawn but did not select.

Among these disclosed talents, there is a green talent 【Recovery】 that can quickly heal a contract spirit beast's injuries, a blue talent 【Strengthen】 that can temporarily increase a contract spirit beast's racial value by 10%, and a purple talent 【Force Field】 that can temporarily change the environment to match one's own attribute environment and buff the contract spirit beast…

It's a pity that no red talent has been announced yet.

It makes sense, since these publicly announced talents are basically ones that were drawn and then abandoned; under what circumstances could one abandon a drawn red talent?

Only if one's own talent is a better red talent or a gold talent would this be possible.

Even if such players exist, they would certainly not reveal it.

Among the talents that have been revealed, purple ones are extremely rare.

As a result, the 597 players who were promoted to formal level that day were all pushed into the spotlight.

Although the specific effects of the talents are unknown, when drawing from the talent pool one can view all talent names, so the names of the nine gold talents have long been public.

Life Prayer, Divine Forging, Sundial, Insight, Holy Land, Avoid Illness, Spirit Ascension, Soul Fusion, Traceless.

Although the names are increasingly abstract, speculation on the Dream World forum about the concrete effects of these nine gold talents has never ceased.

What everyone loves to talk about most is still the nine gold talents.

【Item Equipment Slot: 6/10】 【View】

This talent suddenly dimmed in the talent pool yesterday, indicating its uniqueness has taken effect, and a player has already obtained it.

Merely glimpsing the tip of the iceberg of the talent pool has already driven many players in the Dream World forum into frenzied discussion and eager anticipation.

At this moment, Qin Chuan, encouraged by Yue Li beside him, exited Shui Hua's panel.

【Item Carry: 0/1】 【View】

Especially the gold talent: Traceless.

Compared to before, two new lines of content have appeared on the personal panel.

One line is the pending player talent draw, the other line is the refreshed achievement store.

A 24-hour countdown means that the achievement store will remain valid for the next three entries into the Dream World.

Having confirmed this, Qin Chuan temporarily set the achievement store aside, planning to study it during his next entry into the Dream World.

While this Dream World session is still open, let's first draw the player talent!

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan clicked 【Draw Talent】 without hesitation.

A light curtain appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the light curtain was a bright talent entry, with several dim entries above and below; as Qin Chuan slid his finger across the curtain, the upper entry dropped down to become bright, while the previously bright entry became dim.

Rolling the entries to draw a prize…

Qin Chuan glanced at the 【Start Draw】 below, and understood.

In the corner of the light curtain were two flashing icons; clicking the question‑mark icon brought up a detailed description of player talents, exactly the same as what the Special Affairs Group had previously released.

Clicking the pond‑like icon, Qin Chuan saw all the talent names.

At the top, eight bright and one dim gold talents instantly captured all his attention.

He hoped he could draw one of them.

Qin Chuan silently prayed in his heart, then without hesitation pressed 【Start Draw】.

The entries on the light curtain rolled rapidly, various colors flashing before his eyes.

Qin Chuan was tense to the extreme, relaxing only when the entries stopped.

But upon seeing the entry's content clearly, his expression instantly darkened.

【Valor (Green)】

【Temporarily increases contract spirit beast's racial value by 5%~10%; the stronger the opponent, the greater the increase; duration 5 minutes, cooldown 60 minutes】

Green talent…

This falls far short of Qin Chuan's expectations.

What's more aggravating is that after the draw, a 【Confirm Backup】 button appears below.

Can one skip confirming?

"Shui Hua, help me wash my hands!" Qin Chuan decided to try again.

"Woof!"

Shui Hua didn't understand, but quickly gathered a mass of water to help Qin Chuan wash his hands.

Yue Li beside him chuckled, "Didn't draw well?"

"First draw was green, I still have two tries; I'll try again." Qin Chuan wore an expression saying "I'm definitely not an unlucky one."

Soon, after pressing 【Confirm Backup】, Qin Chuan began his second talent draw.

【Healing (Blue)】

【Contract Spirit Beast healing skill increases healing effect by 100%.】

Washing hands probably works; at least the talent drawn is blue.

But Qin Chuan took a close look at the specific effect of the talent, and his face turned even darker.

If he really had to choose between these two, he'd rather pick the green one from just now!

One more time! Last time!

Qin Chuan looked at the glowing 【Start Draw】 again, his hand trembling in midair, unable to press it for a long time.

The two draws just now, he could still proceed with the hope that there was still a chance.

But this time, he no longer has any new chances.

Yue Li beside him stopped smiling, her expression turning sympathetic, "Even the second time failed?"

"Mm." Qin Chuan responded in a low voice.

Seeing Qin Chuan's hesitation now, Yue Li let out a soft sigh, "How about we take a break and draw later?"

"Alright." Qin Chuan temporarily exited the talent draw interface.

Now he dare not click draw; the good mood from his recent breakthrough has completely vanished.

Seeing Qin Chuan's mood, Yue Li thought for a moment and softly suggested, "How about trying the bug‑exploit draw method?"

"Huh?" Qin Chuan blinked, "Does the Dream World have a bug?"

The day before yesterday I saw a post where a player said he got stuck at the moment the Dream World Entrance closed, clicked draw, and the next day online found he had drawn a purple talent, while the two talents he drew afterward were both green.

In many games, draws have the saying of "timing the draw." Yue Li's expression was very serious, "Even if there's no bug, there must be some superstition in here."

After hearing Yue Li's words, Qin Chuan showed a thoughtful expression.

He didn't think Yue Li's example would be a bug; a purple talent could be explained by sudden luck.

But this example made him feel a flash of inspiration in his mind.

If he draws a talent during Time Stop, what would happen?

Now Time Stop has accumulated nine seconds, and a single draw takes about two seconds.

To spend two seconds on this attempt, he finds it acceptable.
