He casually put all 10 Experience Gems into the Item Equipment Bar, joining the previous 25, and then Qin Chuan turned his attention to the five small bags of snacks and two gleaming keys on the table.
"Arf!" (Want to eat!)
Water Flower ignored her fish soup, swiftly approached the snacks, and couldn't help but drool.
"Are these Spiritual Beast snacks so attractive?" Qin Chuan, slightly surprised, opened a bag and placed it before Water Flower.
The snacks inside the bag looked somewhat like popcorn, and Water Flower devoured them with great gusto, showing an expression of satisfaction she had never had before, her mood exceptionally delighted.
The bag was soon polished off.
"The rest we'll eat later." Qin Chuan petted Water Flower's head and was about to put the remaining four bags away, when suddenly two more bags of snacks appeared in front of him.
"Here, the snacks I promised to share with you." Yue Li said with a chuckle, "I can't take advantage of you."
Beside her, the expression on the Green Jade Falcon's face was slightly sullen.
"Then I won't be polite." Qin Chuan smiled as he accepted the six bags of snacks, "But you don't need to give me any more after this, it's already enough."
"Okay." Yue Li packed away the rewards, leaving only an Achievement Key, "I have an idea, why don't we use the Achievement Keys together?"
"Here's my key." She handed her Achievement Key to Qin Chuan, "You decide what Achievement to look up and just let me know how to get it."
"Are you sure?" Qin Chuan looked at the key being offered and didn't take it, instead, he confirmed once more.
"Sure." Yue Li nodded, "From what I've seen, one key can only reveal a few Achievements, and some Achievements even require 20 keys."
"Also, I saw that the Achievement for you needs 5 keys." Yue Li looked at Qin Chuan, "If all goes well, the one for me should require 3 keys, right?"
"That's correct." Qin Chuan glanced briefly, the [Newborn Calf] Achievement indeed required 3 keys to view.
Of course, he had already learned the specific way to obtain it from Yue Li, so there was no need to waste the key.
"It seems the number of keys required corresponds to the Achievement Points offered by the Achievement." Yue Li smiled, "If I give you the key, we can learn how to acquire more Achievements, a win-win!"
"Then it's settled." Qin Chuan took Yue Li's key, entered the Achievement Wall, and began searching for Achievements within the range of three keys.
Of course, compared to multiple Achievements worth 300 Achievement Points, a single Achievement was easier to complete; as for the difficulty of the Achievement, that was entirely up to fate.
Qin Chuan quickly selected an Achievement named [Skillful], using 3 Achievement Keys to view it.
[Skillful: Enter the Dream World once and defeat ten Spiritual Beasts of the same Rank.]
Does that mean you have to defeat ten Juvenile Stage Lv10 within eight hours?
Qin Chuan grinned. No wonder it's an Achievement worth 300 points; it's not easy.
Setting everything else aside, even finding ten Juvenile Stage Lv10 to challenge in such a short time is no easy task.
He informed Yue Li of how to obtain this Achievement, and the next moment saw the light of excitement burst in her eyes, "This is great!"
"You have a way?"
"There are many Juvenile Stage Lv10 around the Burning Flame Wolf's habitat, probably because there's a rich deposit of Extraordinary Energy there, making the Spiritual Beasts grow faster." Yue Li was already eager to try, "Just ten of them, this Achievement should be easy to capture!"
"If that's the case, we'll need to take a good look at the Burning Flame Wolf's territory the next time we enter the Dream World." Qin Chuan pondered with a speculative gaze.
Whether it's low-level resources or new Achievements, they all relate to the Burning Flame Wolf.
Burning Flame Wolf, dangerous!
As the time for the Dream World's entrance closure drew closer, Qin Chuan remembered what Ji Huai said the night before and chose to take more Dark Current Binding as his Carrying Skill.
In the final seconds, Yue Li offered Qin Chuan a sweet smile.
"Luo, see you tomorrow."

[Current Extraordinary Value: 385]
[Current Passive Skill: Water Master]
[Current Active Skill: Dark Current Binding]
[Item Carrying: 1/1][View]
Gazing at the lines of text that appeared before him, Qin Chuan, who had just been awakened by an alarm clock, swiftly opened the Item Carrying panel.
Two earth-colored fruits with curious shapes appeared in his hands and, feeling their tangible sensation, Qin Chuan's face brimmed with surprise.
He actually brought them out.
He returned the Experience Fruits to their carrying slot and immediately opened his mobile phone, eager to see what the situation was with the Dream Realm Forum's Dream Exchange.
Today, the Dream Realm Forum was incredibly lively; upon opening it, one could see countless posts, with players sharing their game zone numbers in hopes of finding buddies in the same zone, and there were many discussions about the rankings, especially regarding the Achievement module that had previously been known to only a few.
A mere refresh and hundreds of new posts appeared, an awe-inspiring sight.
Eager to join in, but remembering his goal, Qin Chuan exited the discussion section and entered the newly emerged trade section.
The rules of the Dream Exchange were not complicated.
Players could list items they wanted to sell or state what they needed along with their expected price, accepting various forms of online payment or bartering.
Once a deal was made, the Special Affairs Group would dispatch Transcendents for escort, ensuring safety, with domestic next-day delivery, and what was more surprising was that no fees were charged at all.
However, Qin Chuan thought it over and quickly understood the rationale.
What the Special Affairs Group wanted was control of the channel; as long as they controlled the channel, they could acquire needed resources faster than any regular player.
And for players needing to trade, such a platform offered them peace of mind.
So, it was a win-win.
Without pondering too much on this, Qin Chuan accessed the Exchange.
Though newly opened, the Exchange already displayed a variety of odd items for sale; there were low-level resources available, but, for now, all listings were for bartering.
Qin Chuan also noticed listings to buy or sell Experience Fruits.
If one wanted to exchange Experience Fruits of a different Attribute for those of their own, the trade was one-for-one, but another option in the Exchange allowed for trading Experience Fruits for Experience Gems.
One Experience Fruit could provide 50 experience, but the Experience Gems offered in exchange were less plentiful.
The advantage was that Experience Gems could be used for any Attribute.
Since this exchange was just beginning, the prices were not stable; Qin Chuan saw listings of one fruit for three gems or even four gems.
The highest price seen was an offer buying two Fire Attribute Experience Fruits for nine gems.
But upon refreshing the page again, that offer was already completed.
Thinking that his plump contract was a Earth Attribute Spiritual Beast, Qin Chuan suddenly wasn't eager to sell.
He decided to first ask if the plump one had any thoughts about the Experience Fruits.
