Lin Ye carefully put away the mutated dagger; he definitely didn’t want to accidentally stab himself.
Little Black had already grown as thick as a thigh, while the little dog still seed a bit unintelligent. The mutation flesh plants were growing rapidly, but the sewer worm parasites and Mind Flowers showed no significant changes.
After tending to the flora and fauna for a while, Lin Ye prepared himself a hearty breakfast.

“Brothers! Harvest collected! (item image)”
“Saying that keeps awake now! (item image)”
“Ah, I really can’t handle you guys. (item image)”
“Really envy you all, harvesting so little every ti, no need to worry about the shelter’s limited space. (item image)”
“Mind your tone upstairs; so people still don’t have a shelter. (item image)”
“Old Yu, did you find a proper toilet last night? (item image)”
Yu Feng: Sigh...
“...Old Yu, you’re not staring at the group chat all the ti, are you?”
Yu Feng: ...What else can I do? I don’t dare move around in the shelter.
“Absorb spiritual energy to strengthen your body.”
Yu Feng: Unlike you guys, I’m always in a spiritual energy environnt. Strengthen my body? Not completely mutating is already good enough.
“That’s too miserable. Brothers, it’s already Friday. Have you all upgraded your shelters?”
“Upgraded long ago. I’ve even started collecting second-tier mutated organs.”
“Big shot upstairs.”
“Almost there, just two more organs needed.”
“Got enough organs, but no blueprints yet.”
“The chance to get blueprints in the deeper maze layers is pretty high. As long as you’re willing to go down, upgrading the shelter isn’t too hard.”
“So we have to go to the deep maze layers? If I had known, I’d have gone down last ti.”
“Hopefully tonight’s activity is Maze Exploration.”
“The deep maze is still dangerous, but with the big shot’s strategy, you can avoid a lot of pitfalls.”
“Right, don’t approach the stagnant water area, and don’t try to find special rooms. Locked rooms usually only have one first-tier creature. Opening several treasure chests can get you blueprints.”
“Got it. Tonight we’ll head to the deep maze for a showdown.”
“Buying red keys.”
...
After finishing breakfast, Lin Ye took the Red Core Pendant and two bottles of low-tier nutrient solution to the ga room.
The Red Core Pendant’s effect was quite good. After every spiritual energy cycle ended, Lin Ye could clearly feel his physical fitness improving a bit.
Lin Ye could break through to beco a second-tier spiritual energy user at any ti, but he felt he hadn’t yet reached the limit of the first tier and could still improve.
If the limit was set at 10, his current physical fitness was only 8, but his ntal energy had already exceeded the limit due to factors like the Seed of Spirit.
Reaching physical fitness level 5 would allow progression, but after advancing, the maximum level for subsequent tiers would drop, and after reaching a certain tier, it might never be possible to increase the tier again.
Lin Ye wasn’t sure if he could raise his physical fitness to the limit, but the Red Core Pendant gave him more confidence.
Holding the red coins he had won, Lin Ye greeted the attendant and left the ga room.
Back at the shelter, Lin Ye picked up the little dog and brought it into the spiritual energy workshop to try modifying it.
Originally, Lin Ye only treated it as a heart storage shell, but this mission made him realize his own shortcomings, so he planned to add an assistant.
This wasn’t sothing achievable in a short ti. Before success, Lin Ye intended to practice mutation runes on it and study the effects of each mutated organ.
Today, Lin Ye planned to install the eyeball and the Mutation Flesh Plant Core he had previously obtained onto the little dog.

[Snail Shell]

The experint was very successful. The mutated heart easily integrated the Mutation Flesh Plant Core and eyeball. Now the little dog’s internal flora and fauna structures were mixed, and it had grown four limbs, finally able to walk steadily.
The eyeball’s internal structure was very complex, and Lin Ye hadn’t figured out its function yet.
Arriving at the library, Bob was absent. Lin Ye picked a book that interested him and started reading. Last ti, Bob had pointed out which shelves held dangerous books. As long as he didn’t take books from those shelves, it was safe.
Although the little snail skill was good, Lin Ye didn’t want to face situations requiring its use. After last night’s Station Mission, he just wanted to relax and read for a while. It would be even better if there was a drink here.
He liked to have sothing to drink while reading.
“Your drink.”
A cup of cola with ice was pushed near Lin Ye’s right hand, placed at an easy-to-grab but not easy-to-spill distance.
“Why are you here?”
Lin Ye didn’t look up. He already knew who it was without seeing.
“That old woman turned into my form, so naturally I had to co and talk to her.”
Little Ye sat beside Lin Ye, propping her chin on her hands, and conjured another cup of iced cola out of thin air, taking a sip.
“I’m an official staff mber here. I’ll still have to work under them.”
Lin Ye didn’t really care. He could also get along with the director. If it ca down to it, he could abandon this base.
“If it weren’t like this, I wouldn’t just talk to her.”
Little Ye smiled without humor.
“Will you co here again? I co every other day.”
Lin Ye took a sip of the iced cola too.
“No. I don’t like your current body, and I have many things to handle in the spiritual world.”
Little Ye stood up and went to the bookshelf holding dangerous books, pulling out a book with a black hardcover.
“Look at this one. I’ll watch you, nothing will happen.”
Lin Ye took the book and glanced at the cover.
The title was Deep Abyss Secrets.
“Ah, speaking of which, I have a skill. Can I use it to read books?”
Lin Ye explained the skill’s effect.
“Then we can pick a more exciting one.”
Little Ye returned to the bookshelf and carefully selected a book with a gray cover.
Lin Ye took the book and skimd it.
The title was Abnormal Incident Compilation in the Gray Realm.
“Use the skill directly?”
Lin Ye asked, holding the book that made him not want to read further just from the title.
“Yes. Don’t worry. I promise you’ll experience an interesting story... if you’re lucky.”
Little Ye added the last part with ill intent.
By this ti, Lin Ye had already activated the special skill, holding the iced cola as he slipped into the bright red snail shell and opened the book.
The gray world unfolded, and Lin Ye’s consciousness sank deep into the book.
