"Did I... see that wrong just now?"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but rub his eyes after reappearing in his rented apartnt.
He quickly opened his panel, but, unfortunately, Ti Stop duration didn't display on the panel after he left the instance.
This brought a touch of regret onto Qin Chuan's face.
The mont he clicked "Leave Instance" and teleported away, he vaguely thought he saw his Ti Stop duration, which should have had 46 seconds remaining after using two seconds, increase to 47 seconds.
But he wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
If it were true, that would be yet another piece of good news for him.
Before this, the only way Qin Chuan knew to increase Ti Stop duration was to gain one second every ti he left Dream World.
Now that he could enter an instance once a day, if he could also gain a second every ti he left an instance, then he could double the rate at which he accumulated Ti Stop duration.
As for whether this was true, he would have to wait until he next entered Dream World and check the Ti Stop duration to be sure.
Temporarily setting aside this uplifting speculation, Qin Chuan once again entered the list of available instances.
Having used up his attempts for the day, he planned to see how other people were doing with their walkthroughs.
Considering the ti, three hours had already passed since Blue Star's 2.3 update.
Monts later, a slight pause crossed his smiling face.
The situation didn't seem too good.
At the very top of the list of instances available for walkthrough, Qin Chuan saw the collapsed status of instances already completed. As ti went on, there were now twenty-two instances that had been cleared.
Aside from the B-rank instance he had cleared, there was another B-rank instance that Dragon Halberd and two others had cleared; the remaining twenty cleared instances were C and D rank.
One hundred and seventy-eight instances, so many cleared in just three hours, should have been a good thing, but Qin Chuan discovered that the total number of instances available and currently being cleared was still one hundred and eighty-two.
This ant that during his clearing of the Milian Demon Forest, twenty-six new instances had been added.
Judging by the remaining ti for the instances to be cleared, it seed that instances were being added every hour.
This rate was sowhat frightening.
Qin Chuan casually opened the Dream Realm Forum to check the discussions there.
At this mont, the forum was almost entirely dominated by discussions about instances, and soon enough, he found the information he was looking for.
"Three were added in the first hour, seven in the second, and sixteen in the third?!" Qin Chuan's expression instantly grew solemn.
Uniform growth and accelerating increases were two different concepts.
If the instance count continued to grow each hour, with the number increasing each ti, the difficulty of clearing all instances within 72 hours would increase significantly.
Then, Blue Star would face the arrival of creatures from the instances.
"Ding-a-ling—"
The phone rang, and Qin Chuan answered it while belatedly noticing that he had more than a dozen missed calls on his phone.
All of the calls were from Chang Jinze.
"You finally answered the phone."
Chang Jinze's voice ca from the other end, making Qin Chuan feel sowhat guilty.
After all, he had turned down the man's invitation, making up an excuse about wanting to choose an "easier instance" and now the entire world had seen him clear the Milian Demon Forest.
But Chang Jinze's next words made Qin Chuan set aside those thoughts.
"Of the twenty-two instances that have been cleared, eight were cleared by mbers of the Special Affairs Group, and there were forty-seven attempts that failed to clear the instances, but they did yield so clues."
"We're going to have an online eting in a bit to discuss the situation with these instances, mainly regarding the so-called unknown high-dinsional creatures revealed by the instances."
"Do you want to join?"
Images of the Moon Spirit Clan and the true culprits, the Half-demon Clan ntioned by Sosali in the instance, flashed through Qin Chuan's mind, and he nodded without hesitation, "Yes."
The instances that had appeared were not randomly generated.
They might actually be part of the world of powerful high-dinsional creatures.
Apart from clearing instances to gain rewards to enhance oneself, reconstructing as much background information as possible revealed by the instances to identify the entity coveting Blue Star was also paramount.
Following Chang Jinze's guidance, Qin Chuan quickly found the encrypted eting feature in the APP he had downloaded earlier, and after entering the eting code given by the other party, he joined the eting.
Several people were already participating in the online eting room, openly sharing their experiences in their instances. However, as soon as Qin Chuan, under the nickna "Luo," joined the eting, the entire eting room fell silent in a matter of seconds.
The eerie silence made the corners of Qin Chuan's mouth twitch slightly.
Why stop talking? I wanted to listen.
Fortunately, a voice soon broke the awkward atmosphere of the eting room.
"We can start the eting now, we won't wait for the others who haven't arrived."
It was a calm and steady voice that imdiately made Qin Chuan feel a sense of reliability about the person.
Recognizing the nickna beneath the flashing avatar, a flicker of realization crossed Qin Chuan's eyes.
Feng Yin, Second Generation Insight.
Although he had heard of this person before, it was the first ti he actually heard his voice since he mainly coordinated with Chang Jinze.
"I'll start by briefly talking about the background of the instance we cleared," Feng Yin began at an unhurried pace, "We cleared a B-rank three-star instance: Lilivian Port. The main clan featured in this instance was a race called Dwarf Demons."
"They are quite short, no taller than 1.2 ters, and resemble humans in shape, but are more grueso-looking."
"Dwarf Demons seem to be skilled in construction and blacksmithing. In the instance setting, we saw many creations, so of which were very advanced to us."
"In this instance…"
Feng Yin quickly wrapped up his introduction, giving other participants a certain understanding of the Dwarf Demon Clan.
"Has anyone else co into contact with this clan in an instance?" Feng Yin posed the final question.
"My instance was also related to the Dwarf Demons," a voice promptly spoke up, "Although my colleague and I didn't succeed in clearing it, during the process we found that…"
He quickly shared their findings, many of which matched the characteristics Feng Yin had ntioned.
"Any additional contributions?" Feng Yin continued to inquire, and soon two more people said they had encountered the sa clan in their instances.
After that, including Qin Chuan, other participants also shared their respective discoveries.
However, when all participants had finished sharing, the atmosphere in the eting room beca sowhat heavy.
Because from the compiled information of the instances, everyone discovered many inconsistencies.
For example, in Qin Chuan's instance, the Half-demon Clan used a conspiracy to turn the elder of the Moon Spirit Clan into a monster, indicating clear enmity between them.
But in another player's experience with the Half-demon Clan, their enmity lay greatly with the Demon Clan, and they were actually on good terms with the Moon Spirit Clan.
Situations like this were not isolated.
This made the background of the instances particularly fragnted.
