Chapter 57: The Two Who Had Gone Their Separate Ways

After returning home and sitting at the head of the bed, Qin Chuan looked at the bright white moonlight outside the window, and Ji Huai's last words still echoed in his mind.

Want to see blood…

A sense of nervousness welled up in his heart, but Qin Chuan himself was somewhat surprised, for this nervousness did not come from fear but from excitement.

Monsters are brutal and crazy; although they have gained higher intelligence, they lack matching rationality, making them defective prototypes compared to spirit beasts.

In the past few days, the Special Affairs Group and many official supernatural beings have suffered many casualties in the process of exterminating monsters, and news reports this daily.

This newborn race seemed to have set the tone of being humanity's enemy from the moment of its birth.

Exterminating monsters has become the top priority for supernatural beings in a short time.

As fellow supernatural beings, whenever Qin Chuan saw such reports, he wished he could join the exterminators, but the Special Affairs Group had repeatedly forbidden it, and Ji Huai had stressed many times that classmates were absolutely not allowed to participate.

In his words, "You're too weak, you'll only hold us back."

This made his heart feel a little warm.

Sitting dazed at the head of the bed for a moment, Qin Chuan lay down and closed his eyes.

"Resource scouting?!" Yue Li's eyes lit up instantly, "I didn't expect there to be such a talent in the talent pool; this talent is really great!"

Asking himself honestly, Qin Chuan did not want that.

To achieve better results in tomorrow's practical combat exam, this time entering the Dream World, he wanted to absorb as much of the weekly ranking settlement rewards as possible.

——

"Luo, did you manage to clock in successfully on the last attempt?"

And the method he thought of was also very simple.

That is, weaken the effect of the gold talent and disguise it as a lower-level talent.

Now that a practical combat exam has appeared, it is obvious that the Special Affairs Group has changed its strategy.

He concealed the last talent on his talent gauge, then blurred the first two talents, so claiming to have a purple talent would be passable.

Almost at the moment he regained consciousness, Qin Chuan heard Yue Li's concerned voice by his ear.

The gold talent is very important; even facing Yue Li, his best friend in the Dream World, Qin Chuan dared not reveal it, but his talent gauge would certainly be used frequently from now on.

At this stage when the supernatural curriculum has just begun to sprout, the top universities must possess the most comprehensive and authoritative knowledge, possibly even other supernatural cultivation methods besides the Basic Fist Technique.

Unless he abandons Yue Li and becomes a lone wolf without a partner, he must fabricate a plausible talent for himself.

In reality, sixteen hours had passed, yet the other party still kept him in mind.

"Hmm, I drew a decent talent." Qin Chuan finalized his selection from three backup talents, smiling as he said, "Purple talent, with two effects: scouting nearby resources, one large-scale, one small-scale."

Even these greenhouse flowers now have a chance to face monsters directly.

Actually, Qin Chuan originally planned to combine the first two talents and claim he had drawn a blue talent.

His former self lacked ambition, but now he wants to seize this opportunity.

But meeting Yue Li's anxious gaze, he felt her sincere wish for him to have a better talent, and so his words changed as he spoke them.

Let it be purple; it's not too conspicuous either.

And the qualifications for reduced-score admission and even recommendation are likewise urgently desired by Qin Chuan.

In an instant, she likewise realized the significance of this talent.

Spirit beasts acquire resources faster to upgrade and grow strong; relying on level suppression, they can easily treat the current strongest enhancement-type talent as something to be beaten down.

"And you? Did you exchange yesterday's random resource for the needed low-level resource?" Qin Chuan worried that if Yue Li kept asking, he'd slip up, so he laughed and changed the subject.

"Ah! I almost forgot!" Yue Li patted her forehead, then quickly took out a light-green gemstone, "Advance! Little Green!"

Shouting with a hint of chuunibyou, as the gem disappeared, Little Green's body burst forth with dazzling light.

After the light faded, Little Green's size greatly increased, becoming a giant falcon with a wingspan of over two meters; its gaze and talons grew sharper, looking extremely ferocious.

Immediately after advancing, Little Green shot a provocative glance at Shui Hua.

I've also advanced; let's have a match when we have time?

Shui Hua returned it a glance.

Bring it on!

"Alright, I'm about to draw my talent!"

Yue Li rubbed her hands, looking expectant as she tapped in the empty space before her.

Seeing her slightly furrowed brow, her lips slightly pursed from nervousness, and her fists tightly clenched, a faint smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face.

In the past few days of getting along, scenes of their experiences unconsciously flashed back in his mind.

The girl before him seemed innately passionate about everything; her genuine sincerity and character of never taking advantage of others had moved Qin Chuan several times.

He's a good gaming partner.

So…

If Yue Li didn't draw a good talent, he would help her more as much as he could.

Qin Chuan lowered his eyes slightly, thinking silently.

"Yah!"

Yue Li's exclamation cut off Qin Chuan's thoughts.

Seeing Yue Li's small mouth slightly open and her eyes wide, Qin Chuan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"I…" Yue Li's smile suddenly blossomed, "I seem to have drawn a very good talent."

"Really?" Qin Chuan exhaled in relief and laughed as well, "What talent is it?"

"Just like yours, it's a purple talent." Yue Li said with a smile, "The first effect makes oneself luckier, the second makes a designated target luckier."

"Luck?" Qin Chuan showed a surprised expression, "Is there such a talent?"

Like his talent gauge, such a talent for Yue Li had never been mentioned before in the Dream World forum.

"I'm also very surprised." Yue Li's smile slightly faded, unable to help sighing, "Too bad, if I had obtained the talent before you, you might have drawn something better."

"I'm already very satisfied with this talent." Qin Chuan quickly said, "Don't easily reveal your talent, otherwise others will try every means to find you in order to get a better talent, even imprison you."

"Don't worry, I'm only telling you."

Yue Li nodded heavily, a strange light flashing in her eyes and then disappearing.

Before her eyes appeared lines of text that only she could see.

【Life Prayer (Gold)】

【Passive, the owner's own and Contract Spirit Beast's luck greatly increased】

【Greatly increases the luck of the designated player and their Contract Spirit Beast; if the designated player is oneself and one's Contract Spirit Beast, the effect doubles, duration 10 minutes, usable once per entry into the Dream World】

【Designates two players and their Contract Spirit Beasts, transferring all luck from one side to the other, duration 60 minutes, usable once every seven entries into the Dream World】

With the gold talent, I need to help Luo more.
