Su Luo reviewed the Zone 76 map project and read Han Song’s popular post about Dungeon safe zones before checking on Han Song’s research into Ye Xu’s Talent. After learning how Ye Xu’s ability treated his belongings, Su Luo began experimenting with the dream bridge and considered kicking Ye Xu out.

• Su Luo read about the Mutual Aid Association’s plans to map Zone 76 and checked updates on survivors and class holders.
• Su Luo found Han Song’s post predicting a future real estate industry around Dungeons and replied that Han Song had a way with words.
• Su Luo asked Han Song whether he had upgraded the item and investigated Ye Xu’s ability; Han Song reported that it could multiply personal items and described their tests.
• Su Luo considered whether Ye Xu’s Talent had multiplied items because Ye Xu had voluntarily given up his belongings, then began experimenting with the dream bridge and planned to kick Ye Xu out.

Han Song explained the Mutual Aid Association’s plan to test the rules behind Ye Xu’s Talent while Su Luo began reinforcing his laboratory and reviewing World Channel discussions. The chapter left Su Luo reading debate about rising monster levels, Zone 76’s strong survivors, and the 20-point attribute limit.

• Han Song told Su Luo that Ye Xu’s Talent might judge an item’s ownership or conceptual connection rather than physical possession, and described the Association’s planned tests.
• Su Luo began shaping No. 3 Alloy into a stronger laboratory framework and sent Qin Lang a revised list of materials to price.
• Su Luo read World Channel posts about stronger monsters, survivor attributes, and Zone 76’s high average and large survivor count.
• Kundina Orlando asked Su Luo about his Flame Storm and Meteor Fall skills, while other survivors discussed outside-zone dangers and preparations for the next District War.
• Survivors debated the 20-point attribute limit, and one claimed to possess 21 attribute points despite the panel not showing them.

Su Luo read a serialized World Channel story about A, a ruthless class holder who abused and killed B’s father, and B, who later caused A and more than a hundred people to die during the Monster Tide. The account left survivors debating how B manipulated the challenge and what the incident meant for trust and survival.

• Su Luo read the storyteller’s explanation of World Channel message limits and the first installments about a zone with two class holders.
• The storyteller described how A’s faction merged more than a hundred Sanctuaries and relied on A to lead their defense against the Monster Tide.
• The storyteller revealed that A had raped B and killed B’s father, despite B having helped him before his Class Change.
• The storyteller said B beat the tenth wave, then faced a Level 8 elite monster after leaving his Sanctuary and triggering the “Fighting Alone” buff.
• B returned to the Sanctuary before the monster entered, and more than a hundred people, including A and B, died during the livestream.
• Survivors on the World Channel argued about B’s actions, the threat of Level 8 elite monsters, and their loss of trust in the system.

Su Luo explained how the system’s Fighting Alone mechanism could turn resentment into a threat against fused Sanctuaries, then urged survivors to support those who came after them and compete against other worlds. At the Mutual Aid Association, leaders assessed the danger to their fused Sanctuary projects and found the immediate risk relatively low.

• The system’s Hatred Mechanism imposed the Fighting Alone state on survivors outside their Sanctuaries, weakening them while increasing monster-wave difficulty and enabling resentful survivors to endanger everyone.
• Su Luo warned that the fused Sanctuary path created another Chain of Suspicion, and urged survivors to help later arrivals because more class holders could secure more Continued Battle victories and Trait Dungeon slots.
• Ye Zizhen added that Continued Battle’s eventual rewards might extend beyond Trait Dungeon slots.
• At the Mutual Aid Association meeting, Number One and the managers reviewed the fused Sanctuary projects and noted that headquarters had kept its top survivors out of the fusion.

Su Luo compared scientific papers from his world with those from the Trial Instances and found widespread errors and fabricated research, prompting him to purge unreliable knowledge from the library. After mapping the region’s Dangerous Terrain, he found more than a thousand areas covering roughly two percent of its land.

• Su Luo posted his view that Trial Instances were built on real worlds and that their civilizations followed natural patterns of development.
• Su Luo screened papers from both worlds and found comparable rates of pseudoscience, fundamental errors, and fabricated or manipulated research.

• Su Luo mapped the region’s Dangerous Terrain and counted more than a thousand areas, ranging from dozens to thousands of square kilometers and covering about two percent of the region.

Su Luo examined the spread of [Dangerous Terrain] and set out to obtain an Alchemy Skill Book that could help him study his perfect-quality equipment. Meanwhile, Han Song organized supplies and equipment for delivery as the Mutual Aid Association considered building shelters near Dungeons to cut the cost of repeated runs.

• Su Luo reviewed a report showing that 214 survivors had shelters inside [Dangerous Terrain] and worried that the area would keep expanding.

Su Luo and Han Song investigated the rules behind Ye Xu’s Talent, testing how it selected and amplified items. Su Luo concluded that the Talent used weighted randomness influenced by Ye Xu’s needs and that its unstated rules had to be discovered through careful testing.

• Han Song told Su Luo that Ye Xu’s Talent had produced three thousand Fine-quality mental-charm-resistant necklaces and three thousand stamina potions despite Ye Xu not handling items.
• Su Luo reasoned that the Talent only affected certified items and that ownership depended on conceptual binding rather than physical possession.
• Han Song proposed testing whether sustained physical contact could make items count as Ye Xu’s belongings, and Su Luo approved the plan and offered a Perfect-quality item for testing.
• Su Luo pointed out that the Talent’s outputs suggested weighted randomness shaped by Ye Xu’s environment, needs, and awareness.
• Su Luo explained that Talent descriptions left key terms undefined, so survivors had to test and understand their powers’ precise rules.

Su Luo left the district to find Chairman Song and attacked the level-six Brute Giant with the silver-white laboratory. The Brute Giant was killed and left the server after Su Luo’s repeated collisions and Black Flame meteorites overwhelmed its regenerative abilities.

• Su Luo told Han Song to focus on learning to use Talents and other system features before speculating about their essence.
• Su Luo left the district to look for Chairman Song, who had gone out after the District War.
• The Brute Giant dodged the laboratory’s first charge, but Su Luo’s vehicle struck it and smashed its body against a mountainside.
• The Brute Giant healed, used Grudge Lock against the laboratory, and was struck again; it later damaged the laboratory with an Elbow Strike and Critical Strike.
• Su Luo summoned two Black Flame meteorites, which crushed and vaporized the Brute Giant despite its Rebirth skill.
• The Brute Giant tried to flee as the Black Flames consumed it, then burned to death and left the server.

Su Luo created an Elite Soul Servant and ventured beyond his region in the laboratory, adapting to the chaotic gravity and crossing dangerous terrain. Near a mountain range, he encountered an enormous swarm of insect soldiers, including Level 7 Acid Insect Soldiers.

• Su Luo used ten soul fragments from his Soul-Draining Necklace to create a Level 6 Elite Soul Servant that inherited some of his skills.
• After defeating the Observer, Su Luo qualified to explore outside the region and guided his laboratory into the darkness.
• Su Luo stabilized the laboratory against shifting gravity, left a trail of black flames as a marker, and crossed a vast Dangerous Terrain.
• At the foot of a mountain range, gravity surged to a hundred times Earth's, forcing Su Luo to modify the laboratory again.
• Su Luo illuminated a dense swarm of at least a thousand Level 5 to Level 7 insect soldiers approaching through the darkness.

Su Luo attacked a migrating colony of Zerg outside the zone, then realized the creatures had been traveling with a clear purpose rather than displaying the hostility of monsters inside the zone. He collected several insects for experiments as the swarm moved on, and his Spirit rose to 19.9 while Xiao Luo reported progress on optimizing the Three-Cycle Method.

• Su Luo used the laboratory’s automated weapons to bombard a swarm of Zerg, gaining some experience while noticing that the monsters all had Pressure Resistance.
• Su Luo appraised the roughly three-thousand-member colony and identified a powerful Level 7 Mutated Insect Queen whose full attributes and skills remained hidden.
• The Mutated Insect Queen led the colony away without attacking the laboratory, and Su Luo concluded that the Zerg were migrating rather than targeting him.
• Su Luo followed the swarm along its flank and captured several insects as experimental materials, judging that the zone might protect survivors from threats beyond it.
• Su Luo’s Spirit increased to 19.9 after he drank Focus-Calming Tea, and Xiao Luo said its calculations could improve the Three-Cycle Method by one skill level.

Su Luo studied the insects’ natural spell models and used them to reinforce his laboratory as he explored increasingly high-gravity terrain. After returning to his marked wasteland, he discovered that the terrain had radically changed and his positioning signal was being disrupted.

• Su Luo used Xiao Luo to retrieve relevant knowledge and dissected insects, finding their Mana-sensing organs and intricate spell models that helped them endure extreme gravity.
• Su Luo adapted the insects’ pressure-resistance spells to reinforce the laboratory and continued climbing into stronger gravity.
• At six hundred times normal gravity, the Mana Pool cracked and became unstable, forcing Su Luo to end the expedition after greatly improving the laboratory’s tolerance.
• Su Luo returned to his marked wasteland and found that the black-flame trail was gone and his positioning signal appeared to come from several directions.
• Su Luo compared the terrain with his records and found that valleys, stagnant water, and other features had transformed within a day, though he had remained in the same continuous space.

Su Luo investigated the bizarre Great Rift and met Song Shige, who explained that Exploration Quests could grant purple skills and that he had completed one. After Song Shige returned to his Sanctuary, Su Luo searched for information about purple skills and considered how he might obtain one himself.

• Su Luo sent a Soul Servant to scout the Great Rift and learned that the surrounding area had extreme gravity, spell interference, and other dangerous conditions.
• Song Shige arrived at the rift, told Su Luo it would eventually move away, and revealed that he had developed Martial Will and earned a purple skill through an Exploration Quest.
• Song Shige vanished when his temporary teleportation stay expired, then messaged Su Luo that his skill was unusable until he obtained a trait and that he was preparing to enter a Trait Dungeon.
• Su Luo searched the World Channel for reports about purple skills but found no mention of purple Skill Books.
• Xiao Luo suggested that Su Luo capture someone with a purple skill and extract their memories.

Su Luo studied the Zerg’s naturally inherited spell models and realized they could help him advance [Spell Permanence Technique] to purple quality. He also confirmed he could cultivate beyond the system’s attribute cap, though the process was far too slow for the time he had.

• Xiao Luo warned Su Luo that adopting a ready-made purple skill could disrupt the personal system of techniques he was developing, and Su Luo told Xiao Luo to optimize his recent spells and spell models.
• Su Luo examined the spell structures in Zerg samples, which gave him confidence that he could derive a method to make spells permanent in dynamic environments and at microscopic scales.
• Su Luo raised [Three-Cycle Method] and confirmed that he could train his Spirit beyond the system’s 20-point limit, although advancing further would take years.
• Su Luo studied how mana-rich environments shaped organisms and found that Zerg tissues contained inherited spell models for repair, reconstruction, error correction, and information replication.
• Su Luo wondered whether such internal spell models explained the power of noble bloodlines and focused on deriving a broadly applicable construction method for [Spell Permanence Technique].

Su Luo entered a Trait Dungeon that suppressed his abilities and forced participants to fight with wand-based spells and game-like stats. He tested the dungeon’s rules and inspected his available spells, including a temporary fire resistance effect, as he prepared to face its challenges.

• Su Luo agreed to enter the third Trait Dungeon after discussing the event with other survivors, including Song Shige and Layton.
• The dungeon selected Su Luo and teleported him into a dilapidated cave, where he received a wand containing Optimized Fireball and Optimized Tornado.
• Su Luo discovered that a surrounding restraint suppressed his abilities that affected the outside world, leaving the wand as his practical means of combat.
• Su Luo examined his temporary data panel and found high mana regeneration, increased mana capacity, and immunity to fire damage below 30.
• Su Luo tested both wand spells, then reviewed his spell inventory and inspected Blood Shield.

Layton explored the Trait Dungeon, discovered a shop selling wands, and gathered gold to improve his equipment. When he returned to the damaged ancient building, he found Su Luo there and thanked him for sharing introductory professional guides with their district.

• Layton killed a monster, collected its gold, and found an ancient building deep inside the cave.
• Layton discovered a heart that increased his health and browsed the shop’s wands, but he could not afford the ones he wanted.
• Layton bought a spell backpack expansion, then hunted monsters until he had gathered over eight hundred gold.
• Layton returned to find the ancient building’s dome blasted open and its stone mage statue decapitated, then encountered Su Luo surrounded by rapidly cast Blood Shields.
• Layton thanked Su Luo for providing nearly eighty introductory guide posts that had helped survivors in their district.

Su Luo and Layton explored the Trait Dungeon, comparing how their powers had been weakened and how their wands worked. Su Luo blasted through a blocked passage with a rapid stream of Flame Spears, leaving Layton baffled by the spell’s unusually low casting delay and lack of recharge time.

• Layton told Su Luo that the Trait Dungeon blocked access to system spaces and weakened his teleportation, while Su Luo demonstrated his repeated Blood Shields.
• Su Luo explained the Dungeon’s information system, bought a wand, and answered Layton’s question about maintaining order with “Kill.”
• Layton used his Space Bullet to carve a short hole through rock, but Su Luo took over and fired accelerating Flame Spears until they opened a hundred-meter passage.
• Layton examined Su Luo’s wand and Flame Spear statistics and questioned why the spell had almost no casting delay or recharge time.
• Su Luo guessed that the spell was simply too lazy to bother delaying or recharging.
