Time limit: 15 minutes/day (Fang Yuan speedrunning lore).

Requirements: Must be an elder

Digital Shade Gu Breakdown:

3️⃣ Illusory Moon Gu: Creates decoy (Sigma mind games).

Problem? All require moon orchid petals (non-renewable resource).

Fang Yuan's Reaction: "Worthless. I'm leaving this clan anyway."

FLOWER WINE MONK PLOT TWIST:

Moonshadow Gu's effect: Suppresses primeval essence (30% for Rank 4, 60% for Rank 3).

Original Theory: "This Gu crippled Flower Wine Monk."

New Discovery: Moonshadow Gu doesn't cause physical injuries.

Unsolved Mystery:

How did Flower Wine Monk get FATALLY wounded?

Why was he bleeding out in the cave?

Who (or what) actually killed him?

Twitch Chat Theories:

🕵️ "SECRET BOSS FIGHT?"

💀 "BRO GOT BACKSTABBED BY HIS OWN GU?"

🍷 "DID THE WINE POISON HIM?"

SECRET ROOM DAY 2 (SPEEDRUN EDITION):

Target: Blood Moon Gu recipe (Moonglow + Blood Essence Gu fusion).

Pros:

✅ Easy to feed (just needs blood, no rare petals).

✅ Bleed effect (psychological warfare).

Cons:

❌ Periodic blood leaks (awkward Gu maintenance).

❌ Weak range (only 10 meters).

Twitch Chat:

🔪 "BRO CHOSE THE EDGY BUILD"

🩸 "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GU"

FANG YUAN'S 6-GU SURVIVAL KIT (DEMONIC PATH EDITION):

1️⃣ Attack: Blood Moon Gu (ranged DPS + bleed).

2️⃣ Defense: Sky Canopy Gu (upgraded White Jade).

3️⃣ Movement: Thunderwings Gu (temporary flight).

4️⃣ Healing: Nine Leaf Vitality Grass (needs upgrade).

5️⃣ Recon: Earth Communication Ear Grass (long-range eavesdrop).

6️⃣ Storage: ??? (MISSING – clan's underground cave loot incoming).

Problem?

Vitality Grass = useless outside clan (no buyers for leaves).

No storage Gu = no supplies for wandering.

Solution: Trade Vitality Grass for Prize Token → raid clan's secret Gu stash.

POLITICAL PLAY OF THE CHAPTER:

Gu Yue Chi Zhong (new medicine hall elder): "Give me your Vitality Grass. I'll give you access to clan's secret Gu vault."

Fang Yuan: "Deal. Also, let's go traumatize my uncle."

Uncle/Aunt Reaction:

Expecting revenge.

Gets 300 primeval stones instead.

Realizes she backed the wrong horse (Fang Zheng).

Copium: "Fang Zheng is A-grade… right?"

Fang Yuan's Internal Monologue:

"Uncle/Aunt are trash… but useful trash. Keep them confused."
