Contradictory Statements
With a slight thought, a large number of pre-arranged Constant Spells began to operate, creating a sterile environment, with recovery potions and props floating in the air nearby.
There's also a whole bunch of Stamina Potions.
"Skill Book Inscription."

[Constitution +0.1]
[Strength +0.1]
Su Luo calmly and drastically altered her body while simultaneously activating her professional skills.
Su Luo only needs to focus on creating and improving new skills; she can leave the cultivation to the system.
Originally, cultivation required a large amount of Baleful Qi, Blood Qi, Mana, and time... but the system doesn't care about any of that. Once a skill is upgraded, it's upgraded; you just need to pay the energy.

Calmly Heart Fiend Blood Qi and restorative potions, Su Luo felt a sense of awe as she experienced the strange yet powerful sensation within her body.
Who would have thought that one day I, Su Luo, would become a numerical monster?
Some were itching to sign up for today's Trait Dungeon.
After weighing the options, I suppressed this inexplicable impulse and decided to wait until I reached the extreme value of 20.
With all Attributes at a maximum of 20 points, Su Luo was confident she could defeat everyone.
I don't have time to run Trait Dungeons right now.
From the start to the end of the renovation, a day and a half passed in real time.
Only half a day remains before the start of the District War.
After emerging from the Laboratory, Su Luo casually collected the materials she had exchanged with the Mutual Aid Association and then sped off into the dark depths, far from the Dungeon.
Inside the core chamber of the Laboratory, mountains of rare materials, shimmering with elemental luster and emitting strange fluctuations, were piled up.
Su Luo retrieved the blueprints that had already been designed from the depths of her consciousness, and her gaze fell on the core of the Laboratory's energy system.
Mana Pool.
His Mana surged like Tide, and as he pressed his hands down, the precious materials floated up and began to melt under the intense heat and precise guidance of the flames.
Based on the efficient Mana Pool structure deciphered from the ancient ruins, combined with his profound understanding of energy and the energy extraction and buffering technology reverse-engineered from props such as the staff and Magic Ring, he began the race against time to construct it.
One large and one small, two novel Mana Pools with structures vastly different from the rudimentary versions currently used in Laboratories, slowly took on intricate shapes...
[Anonymous: I discovered that professional players drop items when they die; everything in my System Space has dropped.]
[Fak, what do you mean by saying this before the District War starts?]
[Anonymous: Let's have a friendly spar, hehe. If you can beat me, beat me to a pulp; if you can't, kneel down and call me daddy.]
[That's incredibly shameless! We agreed to have fun.]
[An agreement is an agreement; believe it or not. All I know is that the strong should reap everything.]
[It's exhilarating! [Dangerous Terrain] I'll go crazy if I stay here long. It's been so long since I've had such a satisfying battle!]
[Ye Zizhen: Everyone, please restrain yourselves in the District War and reduce the intensity of the fighting. Preserving the world's top combat power is the first priority. Continued Battle, we can fight to the death. All hope rests on your shoulders!]
Why should I listen to you? You think you're so great?
[I can understand preserving combat strength... but why can we fight to the death Continued Battle? Isn't that a contradiction?]
[Ye Fan: Your words are contradictory, Xiao Zhen. Today's reminder wasn't good. I order you to resend it tomorrow.]
[Wait a minute! Ye Zizhen, do you know something?]
[Could Continued Battle mean Resurrection?]
Su Luo noticed the World Channel.
Ye Zizhen, an extremely special professional, this mysterious figure, issues highly insightful tips almost daily.
For example, pre-storing Free Attribute Points and suggestions for participating in Trait Dungeons are important; it's advisable to avoid internal conflicts.
Internal strife.
That word is quite clever.
From the perspective of a collective system, the Essence is that "internal friction within the system cancels out the combined force of external output."
Where there is inside, there is outside.
Avoiding internal conflict is to resist external pressure and risks.
What is it that necessitates ensuring high-level global combat capabilities?
Su Luo's first thought was "Out-of-Zone Exploration".
But... it's not really related, is it?
Su Luo paused for a moment, realizing something.
Perhaps, the truth behind this cruel "Darkness Survival," its mysterious underbelly, is about to be forced to be revealed.
Meanwhile, deep within the headquarters of the Mutual Aid Association, which is comprised of hundreds of Sanctuary, the air in a somber meeting room was almost frozen.
Qin Lang sat silently at the table, surrounded by a group of high-ranking members of the Mutual Aid Association.
The guild leader isn't here; he's been killing in the wild for a week now, completely lost.
Although it was never going to be found anyway.
Xi Ji held several documents with a blank expression.
"How are they...?" a senior executive asked in a dry voice.
"He's alright, he's not dead," Xi Ji replied.
Number One cleared his throat:
"Explain in detail, Captain Xi. None of us here are aiming for a rating of 'good' or higher."
Xi Ji's gaze met Jing Yunxin's.
Jing Yunxin: "After the third Monster Tide ended, the 15 of us who had obtained the [Class Change Certificate], including Captain Xi and me, immediately entered the Trial Instance... In the end, only 9 of us returned. The evaluation... was 'Good' for all of us."
"Among them, besides Captain Xi and myself, three others suffered from mental setbacks, one of whom developed autism and is currently undergoing treatment. These past two days, they have been familiarizing themselves with their Talent professions and upgrading their Sanctuary."
Silence fell once again, and only suppressed breathing filled the conference room.
Number One looked around, pinched his hands together under the table for a moment, and then reluctantly spoke.
"Fine..."
"What a load of bull!"
A low growl suddenly erupted, and a usually composed middle-aged executive in his forties abruptly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.
"In a region, the most Talent, the most determined, enjoying the best resources, and receiving the most reasonable guidance—the top group of people! The pass rate... the pass rate is only 60%?!"
"What about the others?! What about the regular Survivors? What's their success rate? 30%? Or 10%?!"
"That's not how it's calculated..." Number One wanted to argue.
The middle-aged man stood up to prevent Number One from overturning the table.
"You've all seen the projection models on the World Channel! Three months from now, there might be fewer than 100 million people in the entire Land of Darkness qualified to Class Change! And that's just 'qualified'! The Trial Instance, that gates of hell, will further eliminate more than half! Will there even be 20 million professionals left in the world?!"
"Yes," Number One uttered a single word.
