NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Yue Li's Invitation
[Achievement Leaderboard]
[Qualification to get listed: Unlock Achievement Wall]
[The Achievement Leaderboard is sorted by the total number of Achievement Points a player has historically accrued. By default, the Achievement Wall of a player is hidden. Players can choose to make their Achievement Wall public, allowing others to see their achievements on the leaderboard, but the methods earned are not viewable.]
This third leaderboard, the Achievement Leaderboard, was indeed a surprise to Qin Chuan.
Before this, he hadn't even seen related discussions on the forums. Clearly, there were not many who had really unlocked achievements, and even if some players had unlocked them, they kept it a secret due to personal reasons, as it was a hidden module.
Because he had defeated the Shadow Leopard by leaping ranks, he had earned 500 achievement points.
With so many points, could he get a good ranking on the Achievement Leaderboard?
Qin Chuan's gaze moved downward, and soon he was certain.
[Achievement Leaderboard No. 1]
[Region: 3675]
[Player Name: Luo]
[Achievement Points: 500]
Seeing this ranking, he wasn't too surprised anymore.
Looking further down, Qin Chuan saw Yue Li's name once again.
[Achievement Leaderboard No. 6]
[Region: 3675]
[Player Name: Yue Li]
[Achievement Points: 300]
It seemed Yue Li had also unlocked the Achievement Wall and earned achievements.
Compared to the previous two leaderboards, there were far fewer people listed on the Achievement Leaderboard—a total of just over one hundred. The other ninety-nine hundred spots were empty.
After browsing for a bit, Qin Chuan quickly checked the corresponding rank rewards.
[Achievement Leaderboard Daily Settlement Rewards:]
[1st Place: +2 Achievement Keys]
[2nd-10th Place: +1 Achievement Key]
[11th-100th Place: +5 Achievement Key Fragments]
[101st-1000th Place: +2 Achievement Key Fragments]
[1001st-10000th Place: +1 Achievement Key Fragment]
[Note: 10 Achievement Key Fragments can be combined into 1 Achievement Key, which can be used to preview the conditions for unearned achievements]
Was there really such a trick?
Qin Chuan's eyes slightly lit up.
If unearned achievements could be viewed using Achievement Keys, then it would be much easier to earn new achievements.
However, Qin Chuan also knew that such items offered an advantage only in the early stages.
There were only a thousand achievements total; once someone checked and shared the conditions out, everyone would know how to earn that achievement, so no more Achievement Keys would be wasted.
With collective effort, the conditions for these thousand achievements would soon be publicly known.
Of course, knowing the conditions didn't mean one could achieve them.
For example, his own "Overcoming Rank Kill I"—even if he published it, how many could actually do it?
Qin Chuan then looked at the weekly settlement rewards listed below.
[Achievement Leaderboard Weekly Settlement Rewards:]
[1st Place: Refresh the Achievement Store at 30% discount]
[2nd-10th Place: Refresh the Achievement Store at 50% discount]
[11th-100th Place: Refresh the Achievement Store at 70% discount]
[101st-1000th Place: Refresh the Achievement Store at 90% discount]
[1001st-10000th Place: Refresh the Achievement Store]
[Note: Upon weekly settlement, ranked players will refresh the Achievement Store where items can be exchanged using Achievement Points without affecting the ranking.]
Seeing this, a smile returned to Qin Chuan's face.
At last, he understood how to use the achievement points.
The Achievement Store...
It sounded pretty good.
As long as he stayed in first place during the weekly settlement, he could exchange items at a 30% discount, a reward structure different from other leaderboards, but to his liking.
Having viewed all the leaderboards, Qin Chuan logged out and looked at the most important update feature this time, Item Carrying.
The Item Carrying tab was somewhat similar to the Skill Carrying. It had a blank square with a plus sign on it; below were ten item slots.
Qin Chuan could tell at a glance that these were the items currently in his Item Equipment Bar.
After pondering for a moment, he clicked on the blinking question mark icon on the top right corner.
[Item Carrying function activated, select items from the Item Equipment Bar in advance, retrieve in the real world after the Dream World portal is closed, and store items in the real world. Retrieve items from the Item Equipment Bar after the Dream World portal is opened.]
[Note: Only items from the Dream World can be stored in the real world.]
Indeed, just as said in the update announcement.
The Item Carrying function enabled items from the Dream World to be brought into the real world and vice versa, facilitating player trade of resources.
Without much hesitation, Qin Chuan selected two Earth Attribute Experience Fruits, clearing a slot in his own Item Equipment Bar.
These were the only items he couldn't use at the moment, suitable for trading in the real world.
After setting this up, Qin Chuan closed the panel and looked up at Yue Li.
Yue Li was looking at Qin Chuan almost simultaneously with an admiring expression, "You are really impressive, topping both the Spiritual Beast List and the Achievement Leaderboard."
"You're not bad either, topping the Extraordinary List."
Qin Chuan and Yue Li exchanged smiles.
"If I'm not mistaken, your achievement points have something to do with killing the Shadow Leopard, right?" Yue Li asked with a smile.
"Yes," Qin Chuan didn't want to deny it because it was obvious, "1v1 killing from Juvenile Stage to Growth Rank, earning 500 achievement points."
"It looks like I don't stand a chance then," Yue Li said helplessly, "That Burning Flame Wolf is really strong. Although it can't get the drop on me, neither can I on it."
"But speaking of it, my achievement is related to it," Yue Li seemed to think of something fun and chuckled, "My achievement is 'Newborn Calf'—challenge from Juvenile Stage to Growth Rank ten times and survive to gain it."
"All 300 achievement points came from that."
Qin Chuan: "..."
To be frank, if he had to challenge the Shadow Leopard ten times with Water Flower, he wasn't sure he'd survive, whereas directly killing was simpler.
"So, why do you keep challenging that Burning Flame Wolf?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be curious.
It couldn't be that she knew in advance how to earn that achievement, could she?
"Speaking of which..." Yue Li suddenly produced a Clear Fruit, "Can you help me with something?"
Qin Chuan had a bad feeling, "You're not thinking of having me help you fight that Burning Flame Wolf, are you?"
"Yes, yes!" Yue Li nodded vigorously, "That Burning Flame Wolf guards two Low-level Resources, one of which is needed for Xiao Qing's Advanced stage. If you help me take it down, the other Low-level Resource and the Clear Fruit are yours."
"I know it's a bit unfair to you, but this is my last Clear Fruit," Yue Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "Otherwise, when the daily leaderboard rewards come out, I'll share some Spiritual Beast snacks with you?"
"Deal!" Qin Chuan replied without hesitation.
A mere Burning Flame Wolf, what level was it to guard two Low-level Resources?
He was not after the Low-level Resource, he simply wanted to help a good friend from the Dream World!
"Let's head to your shelter to discuss tactics!"
"…Eh?" Yue Li tilted her head, "A shelter?"
