Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

After conquering the A-level 3-star instance Akyar Eagle Valley and achieving an SSS rating, Qin Chuan had spent an hour and a half and two seconds of Time Stop. Like with Screaming Demon Lake, the highest rating earned him two pieces of purple equipment, a purple title, and one additional entry to the instance.

After emerging, Qin Chuan immediately discovered the third A-level instance under conquest and saw more than a dozen missed calls from Dragon Halberd.

Although his call didn't go through, he guessed that Dragon Halberd might be raiding an instance but didn't connect him to an A-level one.

He thought it was Yue Li who was raiding this instance and worried about it for quite a while.

Then came the arrival of the acceptance letter.

The courier called him, and he remembered that he, who hadn't taken the college entrance exam, had been admitted to Yan University.

[Instance: Cyrus Flame Land (A)][Conquered]

[Horizontal Difficulty Rating: ★★★★]

[Instance Conquest Duration: 01:46:27]

[Guides: Wu Chi, Dragon Halberd, Feng Yin, Chopper]

Looking at the conquered information in front of him, Qin Chuan couldn't help but stroke his chin.

It seemed that this time, the main force of the conquest was Teacher Ji.

Spirit Descent inherently possessed extraordinary strength. Elite Level players with maxed-out levels and skills, combined with Spirit Descent, had the capability to kill creatures of Epic Rank.

To kill the boss of an A-level instance with this might be a bit insufficient, but Ji Huai wasn't alone. The talent effect of Insight in an instance was temporarily put aside, and the two unrevealed Talent Effects of Dragon Halberd's Holy Sanctuary likely provided some support for Ji Huai.

Moreover, there was Chopper, the first Official Level Player from Blue Star.

After breaking through to Official Level, Chopper only made a high-profile show for two days before becoming low-key and fading from view. His emergence now was evidently for some special reason.

Not having to worry about Yue Li being in danger was always a good thing.

Qin Chuan glanced over at his Item Equipment Bar.

Quietly lying within his Item Equipment Bar, which could accommodate 20 pieces of equipment, were six items.

[Purple] Daile's Sky Sword

[Purple] Eagle Ring

[Purple] Wolf Teeth of the Dead Corpse

[Purple] Kasakaban's "Core"

[Purple] Scream Ring

[Blue] Clary's Gift

The two new items were from the A-level instance Akyar Eagle Valley, but there were others better suited for them than himself.

Qin Chuan reached out his hand, sweeping over the two newly acquired pieces of equipment.

[Purple] Daile's Sky Sword: The favored sword of the storm demon Daile, increases attack by 15%, Wind Attribute attacks additionally increase attack by 15%, and there's an additional 15% attack increase against airborne targets.

[Purple] Eagle Ring, summons the shadow of a wind eagle servant for the user's service; the wind eagle servant possesses 20% of the summoner's strength, and if the summoner is of Wind Attribute, it possesses 30% of the summoner's strength, cannot recover when damaged, and can only be summoned once per instance entry.

The items acquired in instances were for Transcendents to use. Spiritual Beasts of Dream World could not use them, but they could be transferred into Dream World through Item Carrying.

These two little gifts, Yue Li would probably like them.

Once his strength had a breakthrough, and he could handle A-level instances without the need for Time Stop, he could talk to Yue Li, asking her to leave A-level instances for him, and he then could pass on any suitable items he received for her.

Wait a second...

Who was it that, even after achieving a strength breakthrough, still didn't have Yue Li's real-world contact information to team up and raid instances together?

That's me, so no problem there.

Qin Chuan sighed and began to pack up his belongings, with the image of a beautiful silhouette emerging in his mind.

At this time, Yue Li should have already received her acceptance letter from Yue Mountain University, right?

-----------------

In a spacious conference room with four teacups on the table.

The teacups still contained unfinished tea, but it had long since gone cold.

With a flash of light, four figures suddenly appeared in the conference room.

"A-level instances sure are challenging!" Dragon Halberd picked up a teacup, ignoring the fact that the tea was cold, and gulped it down "glug, glug, glug." Breathing a sigh of relief, he said, "Managed to mix in a purple title, but alas, still failed to get that SSS rating in the end."

When multiple players challenge an instance, each player receives a title after clearing it, but the quantity of item equipment rewards does not increase with the number of players.

"Getting an SS rating is already quite good, considering this was only our first attempt," Feng Yin said, shaking her head slightly. "The difficulty of obtaining an SSS rating is too high."

Insight provided them a substantial advantage in searching for clues within the instance.

He knew how to get an SSS rating.

But knowing didn't mean it could be done.

An A-level instance was still too much of a stretch for them.

Ji Huai sat down with an air of deadly menace, like a war god, and it was only after he took a sip of his tea that some of his aura of menace subsided.

"Next time there's a strategy task like this, count me in," the sole woman among them, a sharp-looking lady with a high ponytail, swept her gaze over Ji Huai.

If outsiders knew that a player named Chopper, exuding such a fierce killing intent, was actually a woman, many would probably be taken aback.

"Of course," Dragon Halberd said with a smile. "In this A-level instance challenge, you contributed even more than I did."

"I just played a supporting role," Chopper said with a calm gaze. "It's not worth mentioning."

"You can't say that," Dragon Halberd laughed heartily. "You're the only support class with a red Talent in our Special Affairs Group. Even Holy Sanctuary can't match you in this aspect—you have your own specialty."

Chopper pursed her lips, seemingly unmoved by Dragon Halberd's praise.

"Dragon Halberd, contact Luo immediately," Feng Yin said, with a touch of anxious uncertainty in her voice that caused the atmosphere in the conference room to stiffen slightly.

Dragon Halberd looked at Feng Yin in surprise.

It was rare for this guy to show such clear emotional fluctuations.

"Check the cleared instances," Feng Yin spoke gravely. "Luo has cleared two A-level instances within one day. Akyar Eagle Valley wasn't cleared by Yue Li."

What?

Two A-level instances cleared in one day?!

The other three's pupils contracted simultaneously.

Wasn't the number of challenge attempts supposed to be one per person per day?

"Alright." Without further ado, Dragon Halberd immediately called Qin Chuan.

"Ask him if he got an SSS rating at Screaming Demon Lake and thus obtained additional challenge opportunities," Feng Yin said quickly, as the phone was still ringing. "Check to see if this extra opportunity is available for all A-level instances."

"Lastly, confirm whether his rating for clearing Akyar Eagle Valley is SSS."

Once the call connected, Dragon Halberd asked as Feng Yin had requested and, after receiving affirmative responses, he couldn't help but look at Feng Yin in amazement.

Seeing Dragon Halberd's look, Feng Yin's expression returned to its calm state, "What a pity."

If they had tried again, perhaps they could have achieved that SSS rating.

Who would have thought that being just one level short could make such a big difference.

"Let's go, call me if you need anything."

Ji Huai stood up and headed towards the door of the conference room.

Sensing a gaze following him, he paused at the doorway of the conference room.

"Junior Sister, remember that even a support can wield a blade."

Last night, I talked with the editor for over an hour about planning the next part of the story, so I couldn't manage five updates. Four updates today.
