Ye Xu...'s Development Report
Soon, he received private messages from Number One and others, roughly telling him to stay calm, focus on his duties, not to act rashly, and not to let the chaotic information on the World Channel disturb his mind.
Putting down what he was doing, Han Song continued to stare at the World Channel.
[How gloomy is it? So many areas are affected, and nobody mentioned it before? It's infuriating!]
Good things should naturally be kept secret... and the effects of [special items] seem to be quite overpowered.
[...]
[Holy crap, so many districts have special items?]
[Summary: Many districts possess unique upgradeable items, likely mostly from Wishing Wells, with a few obtained through other means... It is recommended to conduct organized searches within your respective districts, as this could be a key opportunity to drive the development of the entire region...]
[Have you ever sought survival skills? In summary, some things are based on assumptions.]

After browsing for several tens of minutes until the popularity of related information on the World Channel decreased, Han Song closed the World Channel and continued working with a complicated expression.
Today, another batch of treasures in the [Unknown Porcelain Bottle] has matured. At the same time, after a long period of nurturing and observation, and based on the information the porcelain bottle occasionally provides, he has also developed some vague ideas on how to upgrade the porcelain bottle to [Perfect] quality.
The scarcity, complexity, and total quantity of materials required for different stages of porcelain vase development increase exponentially. Without a large-scale, actively circulating market to support it, it would be almost impossible for individuals or small groups to collect them.
Han Song hesitated for a long time, then racked his brains to write a relevant report and handed it directly to Song Shige.
A few hours later, a reply came:
[Song Shige: I've read your report. To summarize in one sentence, your core argument is: the high-quality upgrade of special items requires a sufficiently large number of Survivors to collect materials, as well as an efficient regional resource allocation system as support... In other words, without a region of three to four thousand or more people and relatively stable Order, it's simply impossible to effectively utilize [special items].]
[Han Song: In my experience training them, this is my firsthand impression. I've never heard of any of the rare and unusual materials they use. This is something that small organizations and individuals simply can't afford.]
[Song Shige: Although yours is rather one-sided, it's still quite valuable... I might revise it and post it on the World Channel later, along with some relevant data. What do you mean?]
[Han Song: That's exactly what I want to do.]
With his hands trembling slightly, Han Song lowered them, pondered Jingjing for a moment, and then quickly approved a backlog of "Sanctuary teleportation" applications before letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Wouldn't this count as making a contribution to the world? I never thought my Han family would do good deeds."
Stepping out of the Sanctuary, Han Song saw that it was bustling with activity outside.
This is day 5 of week 6 of the survival challenge, which is day 40 overall.
Everything in Zone 76 is developing rapidly in a positive direction, especially after Song Shige killed someone yesterday.
According to the latest statistics from the Mutual Aid Association, Zone 76 currently has more than fifty officially registered professionals, while the number of Survivors holding [Class Change Certificates ] and who can Class Change at any time is at least two hundred.
The Mutual Aid Association invested a lot of manpower and resources to compile detailed data on each Dungeon in the region, including monster distribution and key mechanics, and has produced an extremely comprehensive strategy guide. It is said that the optimal skill combination recommendations were personally reviewed and approved by Consultant Su.
Thinking this, Han Song touched the thick "book" next to the lounge, which was forty centimeters thick.
That's just the general table of contents for the walkthrough. The entire wall of specially made bookshelves next to it is where the complete walkthrough is stored; Survivors need to select the corresponding section to read using the table of contents.
"You son of a bitch..."
A quarrel interrupted Han Song's thoughts. He looked up abruptly and saw two five-person teams arguing fiercely in front of the Dungeon entrance, the atmosphere tense and on the verge of conflict.
"What the hell are you yelling at!"
Han Song suddenly looked up and roared, drowning out the two teams that were arguing.
"Follow the rules! First come, first served, don't you understand? If you keep arguing, I'll report it! If you get physical, I'll ban you from speaking!"
After briefly uttering two sentences, Han Song ran to where Ye Xu, the sleeping eccentric, was resting and began to check today's output.
To his surprise, it was the best result in recent days.
It was a high-quality spirit-enhancing item, shaped like a translucent crystal forehead ornament.
[Clear-Mind Forehead Ornament (Excellent)]
Three thousand items.
This item is suitable for Survivors with a Spirit Attribute of 12-16, and can be used by many professional players.
The resource system is still too overpowered.
But what excited Han Song even more than these three thousand items was the origin of this treasure itself. It wasn't Ye Xu's original personal property, but rather one of the experimental subjects that had been briefly placed on him two days prior for a "contact binding" test to examine the patterns of his Talent.
The experiment was a success!
This confirms one of their earlier assumptions: by allowing an item to have physical contact with Ye Xu for a period of time, it is indeed possible to establish a temporary "belonging" relationship recognized by his Talent, thereby successfully "injecting" the item into that mysterious "Talent random selection pool".
In other words, the selection pool will no longer be limited to Ye Xu's past personal items, but can be artificially supplemented with various high-value items—including treasures from the Mutual Aid Association's inventory, Perfect- quality items... and even Han Song's own [Unknown Porcelain Bottle], which is currently growing.
As for other hidden mechanisms, the judgment of Talents on items should not be duplicated. That is, a single item that has been amplified will not enter the Talent random selection pool again, and items amplified by Talents will not appear in it again... These are all default assumptions, after all, that's how they are written in online novels.
Of course, this is only the first step.
Han Song calmed down, realizing that even more complicated work was yet to come.
They need to explore how to "remove" low-value items from this huge selection pool, continuously Optimization the pool composition, and thus increase the probability of randomly obtaining high-value outputs.
They need to precisely understand the definition of "one" item in the Talent description—whether it is a standalone entity or a set of items.
They also need to clarify the impact of Ye Xu's subjective consciousness, mental state, and even his environment on this "random" process...
Thinking of this, Han Song checked Ye Xu's mental Attribute: 15.4.
The Attributes are very high. I heard from Boss Su that it was produced by some kind of injection, which involves the Trial Instance. He told me not to ask too many questions.
Ye Xu himself happens to be able to use this prop, and he is currently in a state of being immersed in Dreamscape, with his mental activity abnormally high... Is there some connection between these two things? Is this a manifestation of "circumstance influencing randomness"?
Han Song anxiously scratched his head, piecing together his conjectures and reports.
