Biodata

Feature	Value
Name	Source Value (源值)
Classification	Absorbable resource used by the Primordial Plain Panel
Associated System	Primordial Plain Panel, also named “Tai Su” by Hu Long
Known User	Hu Long
First Appearance	3

Source Value is stored on the Primordial Plain Panel and can be converted into traffic/data for downloading skills and physical talents. At first, 3 wisps convert into 3M of data. 3
Download prices vary according to a skill’s level and nature; higher-level or extraordinary techniques require substantially more data. 3 40
Downloading appears to copy a target’s skill or talent rather than remove it from them. 6
Physical talents display a triangular rune when they are eligible for an upgrade; upgrades consume Source Value directly. 7 68
Source Value can also directly power special panel functions, including the fusion of compatible Master-level skills and upgrades to network speed. 32 78

Use	Cost	Result
Convert Source Value into traffic	6 wisps	Produced 6M of data to download High-Efficiency Absorption and Metabolism. 6
Fuse three Master-level combat skills	3 wisps	Combined Unarmed Combat, Boxing, and Eight-Limb Technique into Comprehensive Combat Arts (Perfected) with the Body-Mind Unity trait. 32
Upgrade Innate Divine Strength	25 wisps	Advanced the talent into Tiger Strength and greatly reinforced Hu Long’s muscles, bones, and overall physical power. 68 69
Upgrade network speed	20 wisps	Increased network speed from 8M/S to 48M/S. 78
Upgrade network speed again	50 wisps	Increased network speed from 48M/S to 128M/S. 78

Source	Conditions and observations
Sunlight	Hu Long gains roughly 0.01 wisp per hour while exposed to sunlight. Overcast and rainy weather prevents this gain, while moonlight provides none. 4 6 45
Wood Buddha Temple’s Bodhisattva statue	Contact with the root inside the lotus platform of the Great Night King Bodhisattva produced a dense, cool current and yielded more than twelve wisps before becoming inert. 13 14
Green Bag Fragment’s human skin-like layer	Direct skin contact gradually yielded eight wisps; the material later ceased producing Source Value. 25
Snake Bone artifacts	A Snake Bone Bracelet and recovered Snake Bone pieces supplied Source Value when touched or broken. 26 27 51
Giant snake skeleton	A submerged skeleton yielded 36 wisps in roughly half a minute, then collapsed after extraction. 52
Weapons forged with Strange Specter bones	Weapons containing shattered Strange Specter bones yielded Source Value instantly without visibly changing the weapons. 64 69
Divine Intent Diagrams	Diagrams made from unusual skin-like material can hold large reserves of Source Value while remaining physically and spiritually intact after extraction. 75 77

Source / Event	Source Value Result	Notes
Initial panel reserve	3 wisps	The panel first displays three wisps when Hu Long discovers its download function. 3
Sunlight absorption	0.01 wisp per hour	Hu Long estimates approximately 0.1 wisp per day under suitable conditions. 4
Bodhisattva lotus-platform root	More than 12 wisps	Raised Hu Long’s reserve from just over 4 wisps to 16.21 wisps. 14
Snake Bone Bracelet	Nearly 5 wisps	The bracelet’s emission ceased after several minutes of contact. 27
Half Snake Bone from Liu Bo	More than 5 wisps	Raised Hu Long’s reserve to 7.63 wisps; absorption was faster than with the bracelet. 51
Giant snake skeleton in Little Rock Sinkhole	36 wisps	Raised Hu Long’s reserve to 45.91 wisps; the skeleton disintegrated afterward. 52
Hu Clan weapon rack	Nearly 68 wisps	Raised Hu Long’s reserve to 98.13 wisps after he touched every weapon present. 64
Spirit Ape Secret Martial Art Divine Intent Diagram	62 wisps	Raised Hu Long’s reserve to 72.31 wisps after previous expenditures. 77
Ten lower-tier clans’ Divine Intent Diagrams	Reserve reached 286.36 wisps	Hu Long repeatedly coerced clans into producing their ancestral diagrams for extraction. 78

Hu Long eventually confirms that acquiring Source Value is inextricably connected to Strange Specter phenomena. 44 55
Strange Specters include anomalous objects, vengeful spirits, monsters, and other entities that possess—or once possessed—special vitality. 44
The suspected human skin, Bodhisattva platform roots, Snake Bone artifacts, and giant snake skeleton are all possible Strange Specter-related materials. 25 44 52
The relationship is not fully understood: draining Source Value destroyed the giant snake skeleton, but did not visibly weaken forged weapons or Divine Intent Diagrams. 52 69 77
Hu Long briefly theorizes that sunlight itself may be connected to a living or dormant Strange Specter, but this remains unproven. 45

Certain sources require direct physical contact before Source Value can be absorbed. 13 25
Individual objects can be exhausted permanently after their stored Source Value is drained. 14 25 27 77
Sunlight is reliable but slow, and weather-dependent acquisition severely restricts Hu Long’s early growth. 4 6 8
Possessing sufficient Source Value does not bypass all download requirements; extraordinary skills may require prerequisite realms, force mastery, or a body capable of enduring their installation. 40 65
