Xi Ji punched Jun Lebao, sending him flying, then pulled out a stack of papers and flipped through them:

"Stop joking! Let me see who in the guild wants to go into the Dungeon first..."

After the system finishes settling accounts on the first day, it's definitely not allowed to enter. Those Forbidden Class who haven't yet obtained special qualifications will be as greedy as wild dogs enjoying a feast in a graveyard. Those who enter in the first batch will inevitably have to compete head-on with that group.

"The first one is Minister Jing, she'll be entering the Trait Dungeon tomorrow; the second is Guizishi, he'll be entering the day after tomorrow..."

Xi Ji calculated his time, which was about fifteen to twenty-five days. His Talent aura was more suitable for teamwork, and he would be at a disadvantage if he went it alone.

After thinking for Xi Ji, Xi Ji explained some things to the Survivors around him, mainly about changes in their positions.

Since they had nothing better to do, these Survivor were originally stationed in their hometowns were sent out to explore or left behind to monitor the area.

Then, a group of over a hundred people waited for their stay to end, while keeping a close eye on the various intelligent machines printed out from the blue box as they began to work, constantly producing all sorts of machines.

Those machines, like living things, constantly "proliferated" into all sorts of new machines. One became two, two became four, and four became eight.

In just one day, it transformed from a small box and a bunch of energy devices into a massive metal structure covering an entire city. These buildings soared into the clouds, and their expansion continued at an ever-increasing rate, like a steel behemoth awakening.

"Wow, this is even more visually appealing than an excavator!"

Jun Lebao sighed, then turned to Yun Xiaoxiao and asked, "At this rate, how long will it take to completely transform the surface?"

Yun Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, "Covering the entire Asian Continent will take about three days. The ground conditions required to build a large Warship factory are roughly this size, covering the entire surface for a circumference. Future development will mainly focus on space; the underground and Ocean will not be developed."

Xi Ji interjected, "Could we manufacture a batch of high-storage batteries? There's an energy shortage in the area."

The area and the Land of Darkness are separated by an invisible regional barrier. The Blood Moon had been drawing resources for several days but still hadn't developed properly because the energy environment couldn't keep up with the overall improvement of the Zone 76's strength.

"No problem."

Yun Xiaoxiao answered confidently.

"Okay, thank you."

Xi Ji and his group waved and left.

Yun Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head to look at the sky that was gradually being covered by buildings.

Just now, she set up a small, advanced astronomical telescope in orbit and discovered something unusual.

The Starry Sky of the Scholar's original world is quite lively...

[(Gold Badge) Su Luo: @Jiang Mengrui, I have an item here, see if it looks like the one you dropped, [Goddess's Laurel Crown]... If you want it, prepare a corresponding Legendary quality item, then send someone to the Trait Dungeon to trade it. Retrieve 1 upon receipt.]

[Jiang Mengrui (Gold Badge): 111.]

On the 75th day of survival, Jing Yunxin entered the Trait Dungeon, becoming the third Survivor in Zone 76 to enter the Trait Dungeon.

To be honest, she wasn't very confident she could clear the Trait Dungeon, especially since several Forbidden Class in the World Channel had mentioned being able to defeat monsters with Main Attribute of 22...

It's unclear how they managed to keep their Dao Foundation Attribute capped at 20. Their base Attribute didn't increase, but their combat power skyrocketed, resulting in a terrifyingly rapid expansion of their horizontal strength.

Those people were like they'd been squatting in a toilet with 20 Attributes for too long, their legs were numb, and finally, after wiping their butts, they stumbled out, unable to resist, wanting to break free from the shackles of their Attributes.

Jing Yunxin's actual Attributes are within this range, and she may be restricted when entering Trait Dungeons. If she encounters Forbidden Class user who has not yet broken through, she may be elbowed down.

If the Legendary quality item is stolen by then, she'll be embarrassed to face the Scholar, even though the Scholar doesn't seem to care much about it and has had it with her for almost two days.

[The 108th Trait Dungeon of the day has opened. You have met the entry requirements. Enter now?]

"Yes."

[This Trait Dungeon is under construction...]

[Already built]

[Maximum number of participants: 50]

[Transferring...]

[You have entered the Trait Dungeon]

[You have obtained a temporary role-playing panel]

[This Trait Dungeon offers three special privileges.]

Jing Yunxin.

The first thing that catches the eye is a room decorated in a very antique style. Wooden furniture, carved window lattices, and a faded landscape painting hanging on the wall.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the window paper, casting a blurry shadow on the floor. A faint scent of herbs mingled with the aroma of old wood in the air.

Then, the system's temporary panel was displayed in my face.

[Temporary Panel]

[This Trait Dungeon is a role-playing story-based instance. All strength and System Space Sealing Sealing. Attributes have been converted to the highest level currently available for this Dungeon. Only the reasonable use of Talents and certain item skills is allowed. Your role is: Healer.]

[The Trait Dungeon ends when three Survivors remain.]

[The following is the background story: A massive army is closing in, and a bloody massacre is about to begin. Please survive.]

Trait Dungeon -playing story mode? Newly released Trait Dungeon types?

Jing Yunxin touched her head, confirming that the Laurel Crown was indeed on her head, and secretly rejoiced that she had not left it in the System Space, as many Trait Dungeon could not be accessed through the System Space.

Looking around, Jing Yunxin found no trace of Perched Healing True Spirit. She then looked inward at her own soul and indeed saw Him sleeping inside.

"Trait Dungeon only allow the Survivor's own power... The same principle applies to Perched Healing True Spirit and Forbidden Existence; neither can be used."

Jing Yunxin stood up and began to observe her surroundings.

Judging from the architecture and furniture, this is clearly the back part of a shop. The furniture is quite worn, with the edges of the tables and chairs rounded and the paint Shedding.

Against the wall were medicine cabinets and various bottles and jars. Yellowed labels on the medicine cabinets listed the names of medicinal herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula. In the corner was a copper mortar and pestle. This was clearly a clinic.

The prescription and the Text on the counter were written in traditional Chinese characters, written vertically, with many simplified and connected strokes, and the structure was extremely casual. Jing Yunxin glanced at them a few times, and she could barely recognize the evolutionary stage of the characters. It was a very mature stage of development in the folk style of regular script.

Based on this reasoning, the background seems to be the Ming and Qing Dynasties, since the prototype of the Trait Dungeon is a modified version of a game from her hometown. She hadn't played many of these games, but she had heard of them.

Some are serious historical works, some are fantasy works disguised as history, and some are purely artistic creations for the author's whims. She didn't know which one this time was.

In other words, it's a historical game set during the turbulent Ming or Qing dynasties, depicting the invasion and massacre of cities, with the goal of surviving within this context.

Based on her initial identity, she is clearly not an important figure, and she even has the lucky bonus of the Laurel Crown above her head. It is possible that the game's initial character allocation defaults to a minor role.

So, the prototype game for this Trait Dungeon must focus on the persecution of people in the old society, or the struggle for survival of ordinary people in that context, right?

However, based on Jing Yunxin's understanding of some Survivors, they wouldn't just live like this; they would probably rebel directly.

Jing Yunxin pondered the possible behaviors of the other Survivors and walked to the front hall of the clinic. The front hall was more spacious than the back hall, with a row of medicine cabinets against the wall and an abacus and account books on the counter.

Light streamed in from the doorway, and you could see dust motes slowly drifting within the beams of light. Environmental problems were quite severe in ancient times, leaving the land barren and desolate.

A waiter stood behind the counter, ignoring the customer's inquiry, muttering something under his breath, "So this is the game... Never mind, I've been vaccinated against smallpox."

Turning around and seeing her appear, and the conspicuous Laurel Crown on her head, the servant was somewhat surprised and asked uncertainly, "A Scholar? I was sent by Lord Jiang."

Jing Yunxin: "..."

Was the Trait Dungeon opened by Goddess of Luck? How come I ran into people trading as soon as I stepped out?!
