Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"I'm going to start crafting Xiaoqing's Starshine Equipment!"

Yue Li took a deep breath, her expression turning serious.

She took out a common Equipment Forging Stone from the Item Equipment Bar, placed it into the slot on the crafting interface, and then pressed the confirmation button.

After a crafting screen only she could see, Yue Li suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Wow!"

"What happened?!" Qin Chuan looked at her surprised expression in astonishment.

The success of the crafting was expected.

The expression Yue Li showed clearly indicated it was more than just a successful craft.

"Can crafting actually result in a lucky critical hit?" Yue Li's smile grew wider. "My Starshine Equipment Entry is at Starlight Level 10."

Qin Chuan: "???"

Clearly, this was a hidden mechanic not disclosed in the crafting rules.

Just like occasionally crafting a weapon with superior quality, crafting Starshine Equipment could also result in a lucky critical hit and achieve a higher level.

Starlight Level 10 is the highest theoretical level for Starshine Equipment.

"Starshine Equipment Entry, Breaking Wind." Yue Li happily introduced, "After activating the Starshine Equipment, speed increases by 270%."

Different attributes, even with the same Starlight Level, have differing amplification ratios.

The amplification ratio of speed entries is three times that of attribute control.

Thus, one could infer that Starlight Level 10 could increase attribute control power by 90%.

"That's high," Qin Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiaoqing's third active skill, Instant Wind Slash, has an effect where the faster the speed, the higher the damage. Under the boost of this equipment entry, Xiaoqing would receive a significant enhancement.

"Squawk~"

Xiaoqing let out a cheer, its eyes also filled with a surprised expression.

It could already imagine its own strength after breaking through to the Elite Rank!

Soon, the ten minutes were almost up.

Qin Chuan, who had been watching the time, activated the second talent of the Sun Needle at the last moment.

A map filled with numerous light points appeared before him.

Qin Chuan's face tensed as he began today's resource selection.

Next to him, Yue Li also looked nervous, even holding her breath.

Quickly, Qin Chuan retracted his hand from the void, his expression a bit peculiar, "One good news and one bad news."

"The bad news is, there are no rare resources."

"The good news is, there are two pieces of Fire Attribute Starshine Equipment Material."

"It's okay." Yue Li's eyes curved, not feeling disappointed by the results.

"We still have time, don't we?"

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

"Time is almost up!"

Qin Chuan rubbed his hands, his gaze fixed on his panel, his expression turning expectant.

Six days had passed since Water Flower's breakthrough to Elite Rank.

Today was the day of weekly settlement.

In the past five days, the two had reaped significant rewards, especially Yue Li, who activated triple luck every day.

On the third day of Water Flower's breakthrough, which was the second attempt at triple luck, Yue Li successfully obtained Qing's rare resources.

At that time, the location of these resources was only a few hundred meters away from her.

This validated Qin Chuan's conjecture, and once again demonstrated the terrifying effect of triple luck.

Having gained the last piece of advanced resources, Qing immediately broke through to Elite Rank.

This achievement made Yue Li the third player in the world whose Contracted Spiritual Beast reached Elite Rank, attracting considerable attention.

As to why she wasn't the second...

It's undeniable that, although rare resources are hard to come by, it's not utterly impossible to obtain them, like that member of the Special Affairs Group who unexpectedly got but lost one; people worldwide can occasionally find them due to various accidents.

A piece of rare resources appeared on the second day after Water Flower's breakthrough at an auction in Zurich of The Sun Never Sets Empire. After intense bidding, it culminated in a victory for a player named Zefina from The Sun Never Sets Empire.

After Yue Li, perhaps due to more people becoming aware of the characteristics of rare resources, the number of players whose Contracted Spiritual Beasts broke through to Elite Rank began to increase.

On the fourth day after Water Flower's breakthrough, three more players with Contracted Spiritual Beasts breaking through to Elite Rank appeared on various Ranking Lists.

On the fifth day of Water Flower's breakthrough, Erik publicly announced a $200 million bounty for another piece of rare resources after obtaining the Refining Light Mysterious Stone he had put a bounty on.

Just as Qin Chuan had anticipated, this lion heading towards the 3675 region was still en route.

On the same day, six players' Contracted Spiritual Beasts broke through to Elite Rank.

The number of players whose Contracted Spiritual Beasts reached Elite Rank reached double digits, including besides Qin Chuan and Yue Li, two players from Yanhuang Country.

The Special Affairs Group had already started acting covertly.

The momentum of growth at Elite Rank was much slower compared to the Growth Rank, but Qin Chuan and Yue Li's lead was indeed threatened.

Fortunately, there were no players who had broken through with two Spiritual Beasts yet, meaning there were no Elite Level players, while Qin Chuan and Yue Li were very close to this goal.

On the sixth day of Water Flower's breakthrough, which was yesterday, Yue Li obtained the second piece of rare resources.

Due to the 50% discount at the Achievement Store, after Yue Li exchanged for Starshine Equipment Material, she didn't have enough Achievement Points left for intermediate resources, resulting in fewer gains.

While Xiao Hong had obtained her rare resources, she still needed one more piece of intermediate resources.

However, these few days of triple luck directly completed Xiao Hong's collection of Starshine Equipment Materials.

Also yesterday, Xiao Hong's Starshake Equipment was successfully crafted.

Now, she only needed to obtain the last piece of intermediate resources at the weekly settlement to breakthrough smoothly.

Compared to Xiao Hong, whose everything went smoothly, Xuegao's progress towards Elite Rank was somewhat troubled.

As of now, Qin Chuan had exchanged other resources for Special Points, using these points to acquire four pieces of Starshine Equipment Material for Xuegao, still needing five more and lacking Equipment Forging Stones.

In terms of advanced resources, Xuegao was only missing the last rare resource, Extreme Cold Jade.

However, since Yue Li no longer needed to maintain triple luck now that Xiao Hong had acquired the rare resource, Xuegao's next steps towards Elite Rank would definitely accelerate greatly.

"I haven't boosted your luck in several days." Yue Li pursed her lips slightly, "At the settlement later, I'll give you all the resources I get."

Having maintained triple luck these days, focusing every resource discovery towards her needs, Yue Li was already feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"We'll see if it's appropriate," Qin Chuan smiled and did not mind.

Between the two of them, there was no need to be so distinct about sharing.

Yue Li smiled, pressing her hands together.

As a familiar halo enveloped Qin Chuan, the long-awaited text emerged before them.
