Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 128: Let’s Take Care of Erik Along the Way! (April plus 1900 Monthly Tickets)
"Yue Li, thank you."
Qin Chuan, realizing his thoughts had just been too stubborn, spoke earnestly.
Indeed, Blue Star clearly had more updates to come, how could he so arrogantly think he had already seen the end of the road ahead?
It could be anticipated that the update in 38 days would be more significant than any that had come before.
This was an irresistible great force and an unprecedented opportunity for every player.
What he had to do was to enhance his own power to the strongest possible at the current stage before the update arrived.
With the strongest stance, to face the unknown.

"You would have figured it out on your own without me saying it," Yue Li said with a light laugh, not taking credit.
She subtly withdrew her hand from Qin Chuan's grasp but inadvertently, Qin Chuan caught it back with his other hand.
"You got one thing wrong," Qin Chuan said firmly, "the impressive player isn't me, it's us."
A touch of red flew to her cheeks, and Yue Li gave Qin Chuan a lightly annoyed look, yet he did not let go.
"I know," Yue Li's eyes slightly drooped, she avoided his gaze, and after a few seconds, she spoke with a slightly nasal, sticky voice.
"Let go."
"...Sorry."
Qin Chuan released her hand, his face showing a bit of embarrassment, after all, he still couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Like a startled rabbit, Yue Li quickly withdrew her hands, turned her head to one side, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with joy. After a while, she turned her head back towards Qin Chuan.
"To advance Snow Cream, we need to defeat the Spiritual Beasts of other districts. Are we going to leave District 3675 and check out other districts then?"
"That's right." With the subject changed, Qin Chuan answered and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief internally, "It's about time we visited other districts."
As players within Dream World grew stronger and their range of activities expanded, traveling across districts had become not so rare.
Official Level players just needed to avoid the Elite Rank's nests and not foolishly venture into the territory of the Hall Rank Spiritual Beasts, then the risks associated with long-distance cross-district travel were relatively controllable.
Players travel across districts to meet up with friends and family in reality to form teams, or to achieve a higher position on the Ranking List by heading to a district with overall weaker players; cross-district travel happens for various reasons.
Qin Chuan and Yue Li hadn't considered traveling across districts before because District 3675 alone was sufficient to satisfy all their needs for advancement.
Now with higher demands, traveling across districts naturally became inevitable.
"I remember you mentioned earlier... there is an Advanced Resource that requires defeating a District Spiritual Beast, in District 3273, right?" Yue Li suddenly recalled, "That district seems to be..."
"The same district where Erik is currently located," Qin Chuan gave a definitive answer.
In his most recent stream, Erik's publicly disclosed coordinates were in District 3273.
Among the four districts requiring the defeat of District Spiritual Beasts, 3273 was the closest to 3675, and the strength of the Spiritual Beast there was relatively weaker, only at Hall Rank Lv36.
Therefore, that place was destined to be the first stop for Qin Chuan and Yue Li.
Fortunately, both of them had already reached Elite Level.
It was time to deal with the fellow who had set their sights on them.
"With Snow Cream's current strength, we shouldn't be afraid of Erik's Spirit Ascension Talent, right?" Yue Li couldn't help but ask.
"It's difficult," Qin Chuan shook his head slightly.
Erik's current public highest battle achievement involved using a Growth Rank Lv20 Contracted Spiritual Beast to kill an Elite Rank Lv26 Spiritual Beast.
The corresponding Race Values for these two Ranks were 2000 and 7600, respectively.
This suggested that under his unrevealed Third Talent of Ascension, Erik could temporarily boost a Spiritual Beast's Race Value by more than threefold.
Considering that Elite Ranks are bolstered by Starshine Equipment and Growth Ranks are not, the uplift in Race Value by the Talent could be even greater.
Moreover, Erik currently had a Contracted Spiritual Beast that had reached Elite Level Lv20, not only boosting its Race Value to 4000 but also strengthened with Starshine Equipment.
Under such circumstances, the effects of his Third Talent of Ascension might momentarily let Erik's Spiritual Beast surpass the realm of the Elite Rank.
According to players who've battled and lost to him in the past, Erik's Spiritual Beasts are also extraordinary; it's very likely that he rerolled multiple times at server launch to select his Spiritual Beasts. Both exhibit abilities with distinctive features, much like Xue Gao's, far from ordinary.
Therefore, while Xue Gao is very strong, winning this battle will be fraught with difficulties.
Moreover, Erik might obtain a second piece of rare resources before we approach him and advance to an Elite Level player.
An Erik capable of further upgrading his Elite Rank Spiritual Beast will become even more of a handful.
Ascension, as the strongest gold-class Enhancement Talent, indeed has its unreasonable side.
So, to be on the safe side, it's best to collaborate with Chang Jinze in this battle.
"Erik has the capital to be rampant; we must not underestimate him," Qin Chuan spoke earnestly. "Since he has set his sights on us, then we must nip the risk in the bud."
"After clearing the resources we've just scouted, we'll head to area 3273."
"We'll attempt to defeat that Hall Rank Lv36 Rapid Freeze Bird, and incidentally deal with the threat that is Erik."

Looking at the settlement screen that appeared before him, Qin Chuan smiled.
Although the daily settlement gains were similar to before, he was no longer in area 3675 but had moved to area 3674.
By now, players in areas 3674 and 3675 must be in an uproar.
"The Elite Rank Spiritual Beast List for area 3674 is empty," Yue Li said with a light chuckle. "Our arrival has only caused some changes in the Extraordinary List and the Achievement Leaderboard."
"No problem, the previous 3674 area's list wasn't under Yanhuang Country's control," Qin Chuan said without feeling any pressure. "Besides, we will be moving to other areas tomorrow."
In the midst of their casual conversation, ten minutes swiftly passed, and the two said their goodbyes at the Dream World entrance before logging off.
The next moment, the alarm clock rang punctually, and Qin Chuan awoke in reality.
[Current Extraordinary Value: 12880]

Even though he had already learned from Yue Li that Resonance 3 only unlocked Spirit Descent and that there were two other prerequisites for its true activation, Qin Chuan couldn't help but click on [Activate Spirit Descent].
[Raise corresponding Spiritual Beast Affinity to 100% and achieve mutual understanding of the Secret Technique to activate]
Shaking his head to dispel any faint hope, Qin Chuan picked up his phone and made a call.
He was calling Chang Jinze.
