Translation: Xiao Feng felt a bit down; he hadn't expected the mysterious chest to yield only a recon watchtower, feeling his luck was a bit poor.

【19】 Jiang Ning saw his state and comforted him: "It's already good enough; after all, it's just a level 2 world map, and you couldn't get any especially high-end war supplies. This watchtower is worth 300 points, requiring you to win 300 early matches to exchange for it. If your luck is truly terrible, you'd definitely get a Qi Luck value instead."

Translation: Jiang Ning saw his mood and comforted him: "It's already fine—after all, it's just a Level 2 World Map, so you couldn't expect any top‑tier war gear. This watchtower is worth 300 points; you'd need to win 300 early‑stage matches to exchange for it. If your luck were truly terrible, you'd definitely have drawn a Qi Luck value instead."

【20】 Xiao Feng thought about it and found it somewhat reasonable, so he let go of his worries.

Now we need to output each line with 【N】 prefix.

After all lines, output ===TITLE=== and translation of chapter title: Diligent Cultivation. Means "Cultivation without slack" or "Diligent cultivation". We'll translate as "Diligent Cultivation". Or "Unrelenting Cultivation". The phrase "Diligent Cultivation" literally "cultivation not slack". So "Unceasing Cultivation". I'll choose "Unceasing Cultivation". But we need natural English. "Diligent cultivation" is fine. Let's use "Diligent Cultivation".

Then

Xiao Feng also came over, pulling the treasure chest out of the mud and placing it on flat ground.

"Who will open it?" he looked at the four girls.

"You do it!" they said in unison.

"Alright."

"After digging half a mountain with great effort, it's only right that I open it myself."

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and silently wished: "Give me a whole box of God King Breakthrough Pill!"

Then he flung the chest open.

Whoosh—

A flash of light swept across.

Before they could see what was inside, a system notification sounded.

【Dungeon Info: Player Xiao Feng, after enduring great hardship, found the mysterious treasure chest and obtained a recon watchtower—truly a matter of destiny!】

"Uh…"

Xiao Feng froze.

The treasure chest had vanished; before them stood a watchtower as tall as a two-story building, entirely made of dark wood, with a large magic crystal stone embedded at the top, usable for alarms.

"How did such a huge thing fit into such a small chest?" Dun Dun tilted his head, eyeing the watchtower.

The answer is simple, as everyone knows: game treasure chests can hold anything, so it wouldn't be strange even if a Chengshi came out.

Xiao Feng felt a bit dismayed; he hadn't expected the mysterious treasure chest to yield only a recon watchtower, feeling his luck was poor.

Jiang Ning saw his state and comforted him: "It's already good enough; after all, it's just a Level 2 World Map, so you couldn't expect any high‑grade war materiel. This watchtower is worth 300 points, requiring you to win 300 early‑stage matches to exchange for it. If your luck were truly terrible, you'd definitely have drawn a Qi Luck value instead."

Xiao Feng thought about it, found it somewhat reasonable, and let go of his worries.

In the group, someone asked about the mysterious treasure chest's situation, he

Upon hearing they had to dig 300 meters deep, everyone was dumbstruck, each at a loss for words.

"Looks like from now on, whenever we explore the Lost World we have to bring Xiao Feng along—he's a pro at boss‑fighting and treasure‑hunting!" said Candle Dragon.

Everyone echoed in agreement.

Xiao Feng laughed helplessly and said: "Anyway, there aren't many maps left; when the time comes just call me. Let's stop here for today—I need to go cultivate, you guys keep playing."

Then he donated the watchtower to the guild warehouse and, taking the four girls with him, withdrew from the Lost World.

When they came out, the gate of the Lost World was still there.

The gate displayed 99,995/100,000; just five had come out, so another five could enter.

If someone went offline inside, it wouldn't matter; the slot would still be occupied.

"Let's go home," said Xiao Feng, riding an immortal crane as he led them back to their dwelling on the World Ancient Tree.

"Xiao Feng, what are your plans next? Will you join the training‑war?" asked Xing Yun Miao.

"Not sure. I can fight, but I expect few opportunities in the short term," Xiao Feng replied.

He actually had a lot on his plate; otherwise he wouldn't have left the Lost World after just two or three hours of play.

He had an Origin Secret Realm to conquer, an Emperor River to devise a strategy for, and the realm of the real world awaiting his breakthrough.

Whatever it is, it must be done and cannot be delayed too long.

He also planned to take Xun Shuang to Star Realm Mountain to see what the Hidden Mystic Venerable wanted to say to him and Xun Shuang, and to check how the Blood Beast Order actually works.

Jiang Ning said: "The Qi Luck plunder during the training‑soldier period remains at the regular value,"

"Only when the hegemony period arrives will we enter a fast‑paced era. If you're busy, you can ignore it; anyway, we have plenty of Qi Luck, a solid Golden Seal, and decent strength—more than enough to handle most problems."

"Yeah, now you've all strengthened; each of you can stand on your own." Xiao Feng nodded, feeling relieved.

The Blue Star 8 War Zone had already grown; there was no need to let him worry about everything.

With this group, as long as they didn't encounter a super‑strong war zone like Zu Jian Xing, there would basically be no problems.

Soon after returning home, Xiao Feng quickly entered cultivation mode and began raising his level.

Consuming the competition participation reward, 50 billion cultivation instantly boosted him to level 1120.

Continuing seated meditation, the higher levels were a bit tough to rise, but with steady accumulation, hitting the Ancestral God realm was still not difficult.

Cultivation time flew by; in a blink, twelve hours had passed.

Xiao Feng checked his friend list; Feng Feng Shi was still offline.

He chatted a bit with Qian Sha, Shen Chuo, and others, exchanging their gains from exploring the Lost World.

Blue Star 1 and the Evil Realm were both exploring the Level 3 Lost World map, with a million players entering together to mine resources.

Their top‑tier teams were at full strength, so the Ancestral God boss had naturally been completely dealt with.

After opening the mysterious treasure chest, Blue Star 1 received a set of Sky Fortress Modification Blueprints worth 1,000 points—his luck could be described as off the charts.

Meanwhile, the Evil Realm was rather unlucky, drawing 10 million Qi Luck points—practically nothing.

New items kept appearing, and all regions had begun preparing to craft Supreme God Breakthrough Pills and forge Luck‑Eliminating Cannons.

The materials produced in the Lost World were collected and assigned by specialists to renowned alchemy masters and artifact masters in each area, and the production line started running.

Players in each area worked in perfect sync, moving all production tasks to the Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm, giving them plenty of time.

This is essentially a cheat officially provided by the system, which everyone shares.

When they came out, the gate of the Lost World was still there.

The gate displayed 99,995/100,000; just five had come out, so another five could enter.

If someone went offline inside, it wouldn't matter; the slot would still be occupied.

"Let's go home," said Xiao Feng, riding an immortal crane as he led them back to their dwelling on the World Ancient Tree.

After cultivating for 12 hours, Xiao Feng took a break, and after a day passed, he cultivated another 12 hours, filling his cultivation.

At this point, only the last 12 hours remain until the fourth year of the All-Heavens Era, i. e., the training period.

Qian Sha sent a message, saying to Xiao Feng: "Brother, I'm going to challenge the Origin Mi Jing; get ready, let's go up to the second stage together."

Earlier, Xiao Feng had specifically told him that before challenging, he should give a heads-up; then he could seize the time to continue the second-stage challenge, so as not to miss the opportunity.

Qian Sha possesses many treasures; his chances of success are high, and he can finish it within a few hours at most.

"Mm, go ahead; Old Shen probably also wants to challenge today," Xiao Feng replied.

Shen Chuo is already a God King; after finishing the boss challenge in the Lost World and today's cultivation, he also needs to set out to solve.

Decide this major matter.

It's still uncertain who of the two will be able to go up first.

"Haha, then I'll give him a call and see who's faster," Qian Sha laughed and proactively contacted Shen Chuo.

Afterwards, the two entered the Origin Mi Jing together and began climbing that misty mountain path.

The challenge takes time; Xiao Feng took a break to visit the Yuan Su Shen Yu, paying respects to Master La Luo Na Er, and also checked on how his sister-in-law Mi He Er's training was progressing, while caring about the players busy crafting Breaking Realm Pills and Destroy Luck Cannons.

Afterwards, he directly entered the Origin Mi Jing and waited quietly on that vast blue stone platform.
