Zhang Zhi was greatly surprised by Li Yuan's words!

Li Yuan nodded towards Zhang Zhi: "That's right, it sounds a bit absurd, doesn't it?"

"Actually, this isn't a secret within the Clan."

"Many times, a Small World cannot advance because there aren't enough outstanding individuals within it who can 'Break Through,' which means breaking through the limitations of the Small World's realm, thus preventing the entire Small World from advancing."

"At the same time, if any Small World experiences a large number of lives perishing in a very short period, or encounters a World-Ending Crisis, it's highly likely that existences similar to Destined Heroes, World Artifacts, or Acquired Spirit Items will appear to save the world."

"That Beastman big shot figured he didn't have much time left anyway, so he might as well take a gamble. If a Destined Hero-like existence appeared in the Small World, the Small World might advance because of it."

"If it were a Small World Artifact or an Acquired Spirit Item that was stripped from the world and turned into a Card, it would also be a huge fortune left for future generations."

"That big shot from the Beastman Path had been severely injured before and wouldn't live for many more years. He felt that if he didn't take a gamble now, he wouldn't have the chance later."

"That's why there's currently no circulation of Beastman Cards on the market."

It was only then that Zhang Zhi understood how important outstanding individuals within a Small World were to a Master of the World.

At the same time, he also learned for the first time just how difficult it was for a world to advance!

Having already exhausted his Mental Power, Zhang Zhi wasn't in a hurry to go back. Instead, he continued chatting idly with Li Yuan.

And Li Yuan, being very optimistic about Zhang Zhi's future development, was intentionally trying to befriend him, telling him many secrets within various Clans and some information that was difficult to obtain on the market.

They didn't reluctantly bid each other farewell until the library was about to close!

... ...

The next day, Zhang Zhi woke up feeling that his Mental Power had mostly recovered. He once again channeled Mental Power into that White Card.

Five points, ten points... when he channeled the nineteenth point, this White Human Card slowly turned Green.

Seeing that the number of people on the Card hadn't changed, Zhang Zhi finally confirmed that channeling Mental Power into a Human Card improved the Talent of the humans within the Card!

The average Talent of the people in this Human Card, which had just been promoted to Green Rank, was at least ten times higher than before!

He just didn't know if this Talent increase applied to all the humans in the Card, or if it was because there might be an existence similar to Fang Yun inside?

He pondered for a long time and roughly figured out the function of his Golden Finger:

Taking ordinary humans as an example, if an ordinary person's Talent was ten, due to various reasons, the Talent they displayed might be eight, five, or even four.

And Mental Power could directly allow an ordinary person to display their full Talent.

In other words, with the existence of the Golden Finger, there would no longer be any Lost Gems within Zhang Zhi's Small World.

Comparing this to the embarrassment of that big shot who followed the Beastman Path yesterday, his own Golden Finger's ability was truly heaven-defying!

He tried to continue channeling Mental Power into this Card, and the Card could actually still absorb it!

After continuing to channel another ten points of Mental Power into it, the Card could still absorb Mental Power.

Seeing that his Mental Power was about to bottom out again, Zhang Zhi stopped channeling Mental Power.

He wanted to see what the upper limit of this Card was. Could it be Blue Rank?

If it could truly advance to Blue Rank, it might contain talent comparable to half of Fang Yun.

Hmm, in Zhang Zhi's eyes, Fang Yun was already a standard unit.

Over the next few days, Zhang Zhi started to get busy with his own affairs and didn't go back to the library.

These days, he allocated half of his Mental Power to this Green Card every day.

The rest of his Mental Power was distributed within his Sea of Consciousness to enhance the Talent of the humans in his other Cards.

It wasn't until the seventh day, after this Card had absorbed a total of one hundred and fifty-four points of Mental Power, that it stopped.

Looking at this Dark Green Rank Human Card, Zhang Zhi was a little disappointed.

However, for a White Card to be able to advance to this level was already quite good!

As this Dark Green Rank Card integrated into the Small World, the population of the Small World now increased to fifty-one thousand seven hundred and fifty-three people.

With the influx of a large population, the Small World was indeed a bit chaotic at first, but fortunately, Zhang Zhi had given Fang Yun a heads-up beforehand, and coupled with sufficient food supplies, there were no major problems.

Over the past few days, Zhang Zhi had also bought many Land Cards and Rice Cards from the Black Market and integrated them into the Small World. The area of the Small World was now almost four thousand square kilometers.

After these few days of purchasing, the money he had extorted from the Night Shadow Gang was almost used up.

After all the Human Cards in his Sea of Consciousness had been integrated into the Small World, Zhang Zhi planned to first upgrade the Rank of other types of Cards to Green before integrating them into the Small World.

During these past few days, Zhang Zhi had also discovered a hidden rule: before integrating Plant Cards, it was best to integrate the corresponding Land Cards/Forest Cards beforehand.

Otherwise, the Plant Card was very likely to be rendered useless.

He speculated that this should be basic knowledge, but it was likely basic knowledge from Secondary Education, and his own development speed had exceeded the curriculum.

He was also fortunate that he could use Mental Power to upgrade Cards. Otherwise, the Mortal Transformation Realm Flat Peach Tree in the Flat Peach Forest, which seemed very special, might have been lost.

When he discovered through the World Bead that the Flat Peach Tree was half-dead, he sensed that something was wrong. After thinking it over, he felt that it might be due to the problem with the forest where it was planted, so he converted a Green Forest Card.

Only after transplanting the Flat Peach Tree into the Tier 2 mountainous area within the Forest Card did the Flat Peach Tree regain its vitality.

This confirmed to him that those Mortal Transformation Realm plants needed to be planted on Mortal Transformation Realm land!

This discovery made him more interested in upgrading the Rank of Cards, but when he excitedly prepared to convert his other Plant Cards to Green Rank, he found that he couldn't upgrade them!

These Plant Cards, just like the Human Cards, only have a small portion that can be upgraded by his Mental Power.

Is there anything special about these Plant Cards?

Should he go to the school library to look for information? Or should he ask Li Yuan?

While he was considering whether to go to the school library tomorrow to check for information on Mortal Transformation Realm plant-type Cards, or ask Li Yuan about the special characteristics of Plant Cards, Zhang Zhi glanced at his Sea of Consciousness.

Looking at the few remaining Cards in his Sea of Consciousness, Zhang Zhi belatedly realized that in just eight short days, most of his Cards had already been integrated into his Small World.

His speed at refining Cards seemed a bit abnormal.
