"It seems you've already seen the situation in the S-rank Secret Realm," Yue Li said with a smile, looking at the expression Qin Chuan had on his face. "I'm suddenly a bit relieved that we weren't in a rush to find the fourth Contracted Spiritual Beast."
"Yes," Qin Chuan nodded in agreement. "I didn't expect that higher-level Secret Realms wouldn't only drop resources but could also drop dragon eggs, from which one could contract Spiritual Beasts."
"Being able to nurture a bond right after they hatch, with Spiritual Beasts that can't be obtained in the Dream World—it's simply the best choice for a contract. It seems we've found our fourth Spiritual Beast."
"You checked out the Black and White Dragon Nest, right?" Yue Li understood. "But what can drop isn't limited to just hatchable and contractible Spiritual Beasts, you know~"
Yue Li had entered the Dream World even earlier than Qin Chuan. While waiting and keeping watch, she had checked all the S-rank Secret Realms. "The entire Dream World has refreshed 100 S-rank Secret Realms, only one within a 10x10 range, evenly distributed."
"Unlike the previous A, B, C, D rank Secret Realms, each S-rank Secret Realm is distinguished by a name. Each realm drops the same common resources, but the special resources are not the same."
"Among these 100 S-rank Secret Realms, only 3 can yield Beast Eggs, and the rest have special resources, but those are resources that can strengthen a Spiritual Beast."
"You can check out the nearest S-rank Secret Realm in the southwest direction—Dragon Hawk Valley."
Following Yue Li's suggestion, Qin Chuan opened the Secret Realm named Dragon Hawk Valley.
The conquest target was also 2, but the special resources that could drop in this realm were the Wind Dragon Blessing and Wind Eagle Blessing.
[Wind Dragon Blessing: Usable for Wind Attribute Spiritual Beasts, a Spiritual Beast that gets the Wind Dragon Blessing will receive an additional Equipment Entry "Gale," Attribute Power increase by 60%, this type of Equipment Entry can only be possessed by one beast at a time, obtaining another will replace the existing one]
[Wind Eagle Blessing: Usable for Wind Attribute Spiritual Beasts, a Spiritual Beast that gets the Wind Eagle Blessing will receive an additional Equipment Entry "Rapid Wind," speed increase by 300%, this type of Equipment Entry can only be possessed by one beast at a time, obtaining another will replace the existing one]
Additional Equipment Entry?
Qin Chuan's face showed a look of surprise.
"Most of the special resources dropped by S-rank Secret Realms can provide extra Equipment Entries for the corresponding Attribute Pet Beasts," Yue Li explained. "I've checked, and the effects of these entries vary, as do their levels."
"The two additional entries in Dragon Hawk Valley are equivalent to a level 10 Starlight Equipment Entry, which are the worst among the additional entries."
"Most additional entries are equivalent to Moon Halo level Equipment Entries, and some I feel have surpassed that level."
"Of course, the number of Secret Realms that have such entries is also very few, similar to the Beast Eggs. Only 3 out of the 100 S-rank Secret Realms offer such rewards."
"I understand," Qin Chuan had gained a full understanding of the S-rank Secret Realm situation under Yue Li's explanation, and a contemplative look appeared on his face.
S-rank Secret Realms, like other Secret Realms, refresh their locations every Dream Day.
Thus, undertaking a long journey like previously searching for the Hall Crystal was not feasible.
They could only choose the nearby S-rank Secret Realm with the best rewards for their conquest.
Given the current mobility of Qin Chuan and Yue Li, they could cover a 30x30 game area range in a single Dream Day, which is approximately 9 S-rank Secret Realms.
According to the rewards of the S-rank Secret Realms, the rewards like Beast Eggs and the Equipment Entries above Moon Halo level can be called top special rewards, representing 6%.
On average, every two days, an S-rank Secret Realm with a top reward would appear within their nearby range.
Of course, one can't just look at the rewards but must also consider the difficulty of conquering S-rank Secret Realms.
Thinking about the information previously revealed by Dalaisai, Qin Chuan's expression became slightly solemn.
Legend Rank Spiritual Beasts, corresponding to a Race Value range from 400,000 to 1,000,000.
With the strength of such a conquest target, he had to resort to Time Stop to complete the kill; and the probability of special rewards from the S-rank Secret Realm depended on the time taken to complete the conquest. Not sparing the child won't catch the wolf; for the fastest kill, the Time Stop required wouldn't be short.
Having just mastered Spirit Descent, and gained the ability to quickly accumulate Time Stop by soloing A-rank instances, here came a major consumer of Time Stop right away.
Qin Chuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's finish today's unique conquest first, then head to the Black and White Dragon Nest together."
Among the 9 nearby S-rank Secret Realms, this was the only one with top-level rewards.
Also, he and Yue Li just happened to have not contracted their fourth Spiritual Beast.
The two of them took turns attacking, along with the four other members' progress; they eventually killed eight conquest bosses and earned 110,000 Conquest Points.
Adding the remaining 17,500 points after upgrading "Battle More, Battle Stronger" to Lv3 yesterday, Qin Chuan boosted "Battle More, Battle Stronger" to Lv9 in one go, now increasing the final damage ratio by 9% after each kill.
"Ah, the president is awake!" Iron Hammer's laughter came from afar, with three Spiritual Beasts carrying various high-quality wood materials right behind him.
Approaching Qin Chuan, Iron Hammer raised an eyebrow, "I didn't expect the president to be so young in real life too."
Obviously, he had seen that video as well.
"Hmm… Iron Hammer, you've come just in time. I'm going to try the S-rank Secret Realm strategy with Yue Li next," Qin Chuan said with a serious face.
"No problem, I'll handle the task of protecting our base." Iron Hammer patted his chest, "The wood I found today will just be perfect for decorating the newly constructed guild building."
"Okay." Qin Chuan nodded and set off with Yue Li.
As Xiao Qing soared high in the sky, his serious expression quickly disappeared, replaced by a mix of anxiety and nervousness, as he turned to Yue Li, "You saw the video too, right?"
"The whole Dream Realm Forum is buzzing about it, I saw it of course," Yue Li chuckled, "I finally got to see what you look like in reality."
"Slightly handsomer than I expected."
"Really?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, "Then am I at a bit of a disadvantage, considering I haven't seen what you look like in the real world?"
"The way I look in real life, you see it every day." Yue Li propped her cheek with one hand, smiling as she turned her head to look at Qin Chuan, "Didn't I tell you?"
"When I modified my player image, I only changed my hair and eye color."
"Eh? Did you tell me?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but turn to stare at Yue Li.
The girl's silver-white hair and light purple eyes gradually turned black in his mind; he was beginning to imagine just how stunning the girl in reality must be.
Being stared at by Qin Chuan , Yue Li couldn't help but turn her gaze aside, "Why are you looking at me? Watch the road."
"Oh, oh…" Qin Chuan instinctively looked ahead, then realized something was off.
Sitting on Xiao Qing, what road was there to watch?
When he turned back, he saw the blush had already spread to the tips of the girl's ears.
In the slightly odd atmosphere between them, Xiao Qing fluttered its wings, crossing one game zone after another at top speed.
Two hours later, a Time-Space Rift much larger than any A-rank Secret Realm appeared in Qin Chuan and Yue Li's view.
Black and White Dragon Nest, here we come!
