Chapter 110: The Entire Special Affairs Group is Confused!
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the Hidden Achievement [Elite First Kill], Achievement Points +1000, Experience Gem +100]
[Elite First Kill: The first kill of an Elite Rank Spiritual Beast on the server that is not lower than the player's own rank.]
Elite First Kill...
Seeing the sudden achievement notification, Qin Chuan felt a joy akin to receiving double happiness.
He had almost forgotten about this achievement.
Every growth rank has its corresponding first kill achievement.
He had no chance to attain the Growth Rank first kill achievement before, as there were too many players who broke through before him.
Now, as the first player in the entire server to contract with an Elite Rank Spiritual Beast, he had managed to snatch this unique server-wide achievement.
On the other side, Water Flower, having defeated the Giant Rock Boa, flew into the cave on the mountain wall and quickly returned with a lively buzz, clutching a green jade in its mouth.
"Squeak—"
Watching the jade, Xiao Qing's wings trembled, and he gazed eagerly at Water Flower.
With a flick of its head, Water Flower dropped the Wind-Extinguishing Jade right into Xiao Qing's claws.
Instantly, Xiao Qing cast a grateful look towards Water Flower, which proudly accepted the thanks from its good buddy with a slight lift of its head.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hong and Ice Cream also made discoveries.
They circled around the Giant Rock Boa, quickly stopping at a certain spot on its body.
Ice Cream slashed out with its Chopper, effortlessly leaving a wound on the fallen Giant Rock Boa's body, followed by a second and third cut.
From the ever-deepening wounds, a hint of earthy yellow light spilled out.
Ice Cream plunged the Chopper into the wound with force, levering against it, while Xiao Hong deftly dug out the partly exposed earthy yellow object.
The two little ones ran back to Qin Chuan and Yue Li, and with Yue Li's gesture, Xiao Hong excitedly handed over the newly found item to Qin Chuan's hands.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining Intermediate Resources: Rock Boa Snake Gallbladder]
Touching the snake gallbladder, which felt as hard as a stone, Qin Chuan gave a playful smile.
Who would need this resource for their advancement?
Resources that could only be acquired through killing like this tended to fetch a higher price.
Taking it back to the real world, he could sell it for a handsome sum.
The Wind-Extinguishing Jade was given to Yue Li; naturally, the Rock Boa Snake Gallbladder was his.
The two had developed a thorough understanding of resource allocation during their past half-month of companionship; no words were needed to decide the ownership of resources.
Putting the Rock Boa Snake Gallbladder into the item carrying slot, Qin Chuan casually glanced at the time.
[07:47:19/08:00:00][00:00:08]
Just perfect, the Dream World entrance was about to close.
After setting up the skill-carrying configuration, they spent the last tens of minutes chatting idly with their four contracted Spiritual Beasts.
"Luo, see you tomorrow!"
With the final seconds ticking down, Yue Li spoke with a smile as usual, her grin exceptionally bright in the sunlight today, causing Qin Chuan to be momentarily distracted, so much so that he forgot to respond as he usually would.
[08:00:00/08:00:00][00:00:09]
[Dream World Entrance Closed]
-----------------
Sitting up in bed, Qin Chuan's face still displayed a trace of slight regret.
If only the Dream World had the capability to take photos and bring them back to the real world.
Rubbing his cheek, he casually clicked open the light-spot in the upper right corner.
[Current Extraordinary Value: 5280]
"[Current Passive Skills: Star·Water Master, Frost Cold]
[Current Active Skills: Star·Dark Current Binding, Star·Sky-Rolling Waterfall]
[Item Carrying: 1/1][View]
[Resonance 2: Skills Star·Water Master, Star·Dark Current Binding, Star·Sky-Rolling Waterfall receive a 5% enhancement]
His power soared.
Qin Chuan's gaze fixed on the effect of [Resonance 2] for a moment.
Without any surprises, once Ice Cream also broke through to the Elite Rank, he would be able to be promoted to an Elite Level Player, gaining an additional active skill-carrying spot, and he could at most activate [Resonance 3].
He had no idea how much stronger Resonance 3 would be compared to Resonance 2.
His drifting thoughts settled down, and after hesitating for a moment, Qin Chuan took out his phone and entered the Dream Realm Forum.
The first post on the Dream Realm Forum made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.
"Shocking! The first Elite Rank Contracted Spiritual Beast appears in the Dream World!"
Clicking on the post, "Luo's" in-game name was even bolded and blackened by the poster, as if afraid others wouldn't see it.
Although he had anticipated such a result, it was still just past eight o'clock.
Were there really so many people waking up on time?!
Shaking his head resignedly, Qin Chuan couldn't help but continue scrolling down.
The content continuously updated by the poster mentioned quite a bit about him.
For example, the record on the Juvenile Stage Leaderboards of defeating the Shadow Leopard out of rank.
This record had been mentioned on the Dream Realm Forum before but did not stir up much of a storm, as it was directly overshadowed by the first Official Level Player, "Chopper."
Now the old news was brought up again, causing many players who didn't know about it before to exclaim repeatedly, adding a few more legendary colors to the deeds of the first player who contracted an Elite Rank Spiritual Beast.
Of course, what other players were most concerned about was Luo's nationality issue.
This player with a Chinese name, whether or not he was from Yanhuang Country, was very important.
Soon, Qin Chuan saw a familiar ID appear in the comments section of the post.
[3675-Meng Yu: I've seen the great Luo, he is from Yanhuang Country!]
This lady's forum nickname is the same as her in-game district and name?
Qin Chuan was speechless.
Many netizens asked Meng Yu for the specifics, and her fluent replies made it clear to everyone that this was true.
The world's first Official Level Player was from Yanhuang Country, and the world's first player to contract an Elite Rank Spiritual Beast was also from Yanhuang Country.
For a moment, countless players expressed their pride in the Special Affairs Group and Yanhuang Country.
In their view, the only ones who could break through the Elite Rank so quickly were the Transcendents from the Special Affairs Group, who were dedicated to major endeavors.
Seeing this scene, Qin Chuan's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
He wondered what the people from the Special Affairs Group would think of this?
-----------------
Staff from the Special Affairs Group all across Yanhuang Country had no comments, they were collectively baffled when they woke up this morning.
Every staff member of the Special Affairs Group had dual responsibilities in the Dream World and reality; they were true 24-hour workers.
For instance, Sun Sihai, as an Official Level Player in reality, was a demon beast cleaner, responsible for patrolling the city and checking for potential demon beasts in the city; in the Dream World, he was the person in charge of the Dragon Gate Camp, organizing and maintaining camp order.
In the Dream World, aside from the responsibility as a camp leader, there were many other duties, among which resource gathering was the most important.
These personnel were responsible for exploring the Dream World, gathering as many obtainable resources as possible, and then bringing them back to reality to hand over to the Special Affairs Group. Yanhuang Country naturally would not mistreat them; they would receive generous treatment, whether in the Extraordinary Domain or other aspects.
After the characteristics of rare resources were discovered, these personnel developed a habit of touching everything they saw to see if it might be a self-concealing rare resource.
This habit had been ongoing for three days.
The rare resources that they had not found were discovered by an ordinary player.
