Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

Even though Qin Chuan had mentally prepared for his Dream World identity to be exposed sooner or later, he never imagined that it could happen so quickly.

He still lacked a sufficient understanding of the power of the national machinery.

At this moment, he believed that the Special Affairs Group wouldn't be able to track him down in such a short time, so after stirring up a new storm, he went to school as usual, carrying his backpack.

As soon as he arrived at the classroom, the early-arrived chubby boy grabbed his hand fiercely, "Qin Chuan! You were right!"

Qin Chuan: "... Ah?"

At first, he couldn't remember which of his words had hit the mark.

"It's what you said yesterday, that a good university would definitely take notice of me!" Chubby boy chuckled with excitement in his eyes.

"So it was that." Qin Chuan suddenly understood, then smiled, "Has a university's admissions office contacted you?"

"Yeah! And it's a big one!" Chubby took a deep breath, looked around, then instinctively lowered his voice, "Modu Jiaotong University!"

Qin Chuan's expression became one of surprise.

Although Modu Jiaotong University couldn't compare to Yan University or Huaqing, it ranked very high among the second tier.

Had they really taken interest in chubby boy?

But thinking about chubby boy's performance yesterday, Qin Chuan felt that it wasn't impossible.

"What's the preliminary rating?"

"B+." Chubby was so happy he could hardly see out of his eyes, "They said they really appreciated my brave performance in the assessment."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

A B+ rating corresponded to a reduction of the tier-two admissions line.

It would be difficult for chubby boy's college entrance exam score to reach the tier-two line, but Qin Chuan believed he wouldn't miss this chance.

As long as chubby boy could maintain this rating in the next practical assessment and show the same determination in his studies during the last month and a half before the college entrance exam, there was still hope.

Chubby had said yesterday that it would take another week for him to become an Official Level Player; this timing should coincide with the next practical assessment. If he could achieve a higher rating next time, the matter would be even more certain.

Qin Chuan felt happy for his best friend's brighter future.

"Class monitor, I remember you said before that you and Luo are both from the 3675 district, right?"

A voice caught their attention.

Amidst the gazes of everyone, Zhang Yangwang nodded with a mix of reserve and pride.

With Qin Chuan becoming increasingly high-profile in the class, Zhang Yangwang hadn't shown off in a while, and seeing the usually mocked chubby steal the spotlight yesterday made him feel even more on edge.

Craving the chance to grandstand in front of others, he finally got his opportunity.

Pushing up his glasses, Zhang Yangwang tried to appear calm as he nodded, "That's right, I'm not only from the same district as Luo, but I've also had a few interactions with him."

"I don't believe you." Chubby immediately retorted with a sneer, eager to dismantle the poseur's pretense.

He just couldn't stand seeing this guy show off!

Zhang Yangwang glanced at chubby, then pushed his glasses up again with an inscrutable look.

"Dragon Gate Camp, ever heard of it?"

"I was at a camp in the 3675 district, and Luo just happened to pass through."

The classroom buzzed with discussion.

Although this official Dream World mutual aid organization was not widely public, there had been quite a bit of discussion among Transcendents recently.

Even Qin Chuan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise at this moment.

Could it be that Zhang Yangwang was one of the players from the 20131 camp?

If so, they might actually have met.

Qin Chuan's mind flashed with some of the more memorable players, but it seemed none matched up with Zhang Yangwang.

Other classmates began to curiously ask Zhang Yangwang for details about his encounter with Luo, and Zhang Yangwang's demeanor brightened, pondering for a moment before speaking calmly.

At first, Qin Chuan was listening quite seriously, but when Zhang Yangwang claimed that Luo had distributed a large amount of Low-level Resources to the camp's players and delivered an impassioned speech to motivate other players, he lost interest.

"One look and it's obviously fake, who would believe that?"

However, Qin Chuan looked around and found that his classmates were all listening very seriously...

Even the chubby kid muttered under his breath with a somewhat gloomy expression, "So what if you know him? It's not that amazing."

He was starting to lose his patience.

One dares to speak, a crowd dares to believe.

Spreading rumors about me, huh...

Qin Chuan took a deep look at Zhang Yangwang who was still chatting away.

Just don't let me find out your game name!

In the end, it was the ringing of the class bell that left Zhang Yangwang reluctantly cutting short his speech and allowed Qin Chuan to breathe a sigh of relief.

If that guy kept going, he would be facing players asking him for resources in the future because he's the "kind and helpful guy who never refuses to help other players fight monsters," right?

The two morning classes passed, and it was time for the big break.

"Qin Chuan, Erik is live streaming," the chubby kid beside him, scrolling through his phone, suddenly reminded.

"Let me check it out." Qin Chuan opened his own phone and skillfully entered the live stream.

The big break was around ten o'clock at night in Mi Country, which just happened to be the time Erik usually streamed, so they always managed to catch it.

Inside the live stream, Erik's handsome and arrogant face appeared once again.

After delivering his usual opening remarks, he suddenly smiled.

"The challenger last night had some good skills, although he didn't make me use the effect of the third Talent in Ascension, it was still a hearty and exhilarating battle."

"Establishing the new order requires many hands, and he honorably became one of my subordinates."

"If any of you also have the thought of joining me, I don't mind having more supporters," Erik said with a smile curving his lips, "Of course, I don't want any trash."

"You need to prove your worth."

"Today's stream, I'd like to announce two things," Erik said, his blue eyes shimmering with light. "First, I am offering a bounty for a piece of Rare Intermediate Resources to the whole world, the Refined Light Mystical Stone, and this is what it looks like."

While talking, Erik picked up a photo and showed it in front of the camera for a moment.

"The bounty amount..." He slowly put down the photo, his lips curling into a smile.

"One hundred million dollars."

Like a giant stone thrown into a lake, his words instantly covered the entire comment section with a dense barrage of messages.

But Erik, as if he didn't see it, moved onto the next topic.

"Second."

"A king should not just sit on his Throne; he should survey his territory."

"So, I will be leaving the 2761 area, embarking on a new journey."

"My first stop..."

Erik raised his hand high, dazzling light flowing around him morphing into Armor gathered with light, then he casually grabbed a majestic Bright Broadsword, pointing it towards the camera, seemingly directed at each person watching the live stream, as if on display for one person in particular.

"The 3675 area."

"Luo, as the Dream World player to first break a Contracted Spiritual Beast through to the Elite Rank, you are deserving to be one of the generals under my command."

"I will show to you, the sincerity and power of a king."

The stream ended there, the screen dimmed, but the comments continued to flood.

"That despicable Erik is actually targeting Luo." The chubby kid's face showed worry, "Luo is strong, but Erik can kill Lv26 Elite Rank, it's very dangerous."

He turned his head to look at Qin Chuan, who seemed to be lost in thought, and started to ask.

"Qin Chuan, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to spend a hundred million dollars," Qin Chuan casually replied.

The chubby kid: "???"
