Chapter 29 Ranking List Rewards, First Signs of Evolution
Having understood the detailed rules of the Spiritual Beast List, Qin Chuan's gaze moved downward, looking at the specific rankings of the list.
His eyes landed on the name at the very top, and he couldn't help but blink.
[Spiritual Beast List (Juvenile Stage) 1st Place]
[Location: 3675]
[Player Name: Luo]
[Listed Spiritual Beast: Water Leaf Dog]
[Listed Spiritual Beast's Current Rank: Juvenile Stage Lv10]
[Reference Achievements: Solo killed a Lv12 Shadow Leopard at Lv7]
Qin Chuan: "..."
Oh right, he almost forgot.
He had used Time Stop to kill the Shadow Leopard, which counted as Water Flower being the one to kill it alone.
Even a Lv10 at the Juvenile Stage had a huge gap from the Growth Rank Spiritual Beasts, and the chance to kill one alone was almost nonexistent.
Therefore, with Water Flower's achievements, it indeed deserved the first place.
Qin Chuan suddenly felt relieved that he hadn't used his real name, even changing his appearance too.
Otherwise, if his real-world identity were to be discovered, the trouble would be no small matter.
His gaze continued downward, and he froze in surprise once again.
[Spiritual Beast List (Juvenile Stage) 2nd Place]
[Location: 3675]
[Player Name: Yue Li]
[Listed Spiritual Beast: Azure Falcon]
[Listed Spiritual Beast's Current Rank: Juvenile Stage Lv10]
[Reference Achievements: Challenged a Growth Rank Lv11 Burning Flame Wolf multiple times at Juvenile Stage Lv10 and retreated unharmed]
Qin Chuan: "???"
The player he had randomly encountered was this incredible?!
He looked up sharply at Yue Li and saw that she was also looking at him with the same expression; it was clear she had also seen the rankings of the Spiritual Beast List.
"So, you're actually this amazing," Yue Li said with her mouth slightly open, her face filled with surprise, "Little Qing saw that Shadow Leopard in the sky before, it was very powerful."
"I set a trap to kill it," Qin Chuan said nonchalantly, "But you, on the other hand, have been initiating challenges against Growth Rank and managed to come back unharmed."
"That's because the dumb wolf can't fly," Yue Li spread her hands.
That sounds reasonable... what a load of crap!
The Burning Flame Wolf can't fly, but neither can players.
Yue Li's safe retreats were definitely not as simple as she claimed.
"Let's continue looking at the list," Qin Chuan said, turning his gaze back to the list.
Yue Li responded with a "Hmm" and turned her attention back to the unfinished list.
Continuing downward, the third place wasn't as impressive as Qin Chuan and Yue Li, the reason for the ranking was consecutive victories over three Juvenile Stage Lv10s.
Scrolling down faster, Qin Chuan soon reached the 823rd place.
He stopped there because further down, the listed Spiritual Beasts were only Lv9.
This meant that in the entire Zone 3675, there were only that many Lv10 players.
It turned out to be a way to gauge the strength of players in his zone.
Qin Chuan then switched to the Growth Rank list, and unsurprisingly, it was blank—no Contracted Spiritual Beasts had reached that level of strength yet.
Next, Qin Chuan clicked on the flashing question mark icon on the top right corner of the Spiritual Beast List.
[The list will be calculated daily ten minutes before the closure of each Dream World gateway, and weekly calculations will occur ten minutes before every seventh closure of the Dream World gateway]
[Spiritual Beast List (Juvenile Stage) Daily Settlement Rewards:]
[1st Place: Experience Gem +10]
[2nd-10th Place: Experience Gem +8]
[11th-100th Place: Experience Gem +5]
[101st-1000th Place: Experience Gem +2]
[1001st-10000th Place: Experience Gem +1]
So many!
If one stayed in 1st place, wouldn't that mean leveling up once a day at the Juvenile Stage?
Of course, Qin Chuan knew this was a meaningless assumption, as anyone strong enough to stay in 1st place would certainly be Juvenile Stage Lv10, but this didn't dampen his excitement.
He continued scrolling down.
[Spiritual Beast List (Juvenile Stage) Weekly Settlement Rewards:]
[1st Place: Self-selected Low-level Resource +1]
[2nd-10th Place: Random Low-level Resource +1]
[11th-100th Place: Low-level Resource Fragments +5]
```
[Rank 101-1000: Low-level Resource Fragments +2]
[Rank 1001-10000: Low-level Resource Fragments +1]
[Note: 10 Low-level Resource Fragments can be exchanged for one piece of Random Low-level Resource]
You can even exchange fragments?
Qin Chuan looked at the leaderboard somewhat oddly.
The reward for first place was undoubtedly the best.
The rewards for the top ten weren't bad either, after all, items could now be traded, so a random low-level resource that wasn't yours could still be swapped for a needed low-level resource.
The other ranked participants would have to accumulate fragments.
After understanding this, Qin Chuan's gaze moved to the second leaderboard.
[Extraordinary List]
[Entry Conditions: All players]
[The Extraordinary List is ranked automatically by players' Extraordinary Values.]
Compared to the Spiritual Beast List, the introduction to the Extraordinary List was much simpler.
But the prestige of this list was in no way inferior.
Because the Extraordinary Value represented the extent of Extraordinary Power that could be used in reality.
For Transcendents, this was even more important than the strength of a Spiritual Beast.
Qin Chuan's gaze moved downward to the contents of the list, and then it sharpened.
[Extraordinary List First Place]
[Location: 3675]
[Player Name: Yue Li]
[Extraordinary Value: 410]
At the same Spiritual Beast Rank, all Spiritual Beasts have the same Race Value.
So if the Spiritual Beast Rank doesn't hold you back, the Extraordinary List compares Affinity.
Yue Li and her Azure Hawk had an Affinity of 82%?!
The second-placed contestant after her only had an Extraordinary Value of 395, with an Affinity of 79%.
The higher the ranking, the more difficult it is to increase Affinity; 80% is a threshold, and Yue Li and the Azure Hawk's Affinity was practically an overwhelming gulf!
Qin Chuan's Affinity with Water Flower was only 77%, and unfortunately, there were more than one with 79% and 78% Affinities, and even among those with 77%, his ranking was not the first.
Thus, his final ranking on the Extraordinary List was only 52nd place.
He could only receive the third tier of rewards.
He sighed softly and began to check the rewards for the Extraordinary List rankings.
Unexpectedly, the rewards for the Extraordinary List were entirely different from the Spiritual Beast List.
[Extraordinary List Daily Settlement Reward:]
[First Place: Spiritual Beast Snack +10]
[Rank 2-10: Spiritual Beast Snack +8]
[Rank 11-100: Spiritual Beast Snack +5]
[Rank 101-1000: Spiritual Beast Snack +2]
[Rank 1001-10000: Spiritual Beast Snack +1]
[Note: Spiritual Beast Snacks are the favorite food of Spiritual Beasts, and long-term consumption can accelerate the increase of Spiritual Beast Affinity]
Qin Chuan: "..."
No, he had to take building a relationship with Water Flower more seriously.
Even if he couldn't get first, he should aim for the top ten, right?
After seeing the weekly settlement rewards below, Qin Chuan's determination solidified even more.
[Extraordinary List Weekly Settlement Reward:]
[First Place: Self-selected Starshine Equipment Material +1]
[Rank 2-10: Random Starlight Equipment Material +1]
[Rank 11-100: Starshine Equipment Material Fragments +5]
[Rank 101-1000: Starshine Equipment Material Fragments +2]
[Rank 1001-10000: Starshine Equipment Material Fragments +1]
[Note: 10 Starshine Equipment Material Fragments can be exchanged for one piece of Random Starshine Equipment Material, which can be used to forge Starshine Equipment, essential for the evolution of Spiritual Beasts]
What's this?
Evolution!
Spotting this brand-new term, Qin Chuan's eyes instantly lit up.
Many players on the forums had speculated that the nurturing of Spiritual Beasts shouldn't be as simple as just leveling up and advancing ranks, but so far, they had only encountered these aspects.
The appearance of the word "Evolution" undoubtedly confirmed this possibility.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan then looked toward the third leaderboard.
