every engagement with player legions resulted in victory through overwhelming dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the players had also grown smarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer focusing solely on the Ghost Tooth route, they switched to multi-front warfare, forcing the Evil Bully Alliance's offline five-stack (projection combat) to become an online five-stack (pure mental communication).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused the Evil Bully Alliance, led by the Earth-Nian Evil Spirit, to consume more resources in war calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly monitoring the situation across five battlefields, Qi Sheng turned to review recent gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, two more Primordials had been successfully contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic effects of these two Primordials were quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was a Generation-Five Primordial monster named Wealth, contained by a squad led by the player \"Why Not Become an Immortal\" in the Senluo Forest Realm region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its characteristic effect was to calculate carried wealth and release a beam of rule-light to strike a target; the higher the wealth carried, the higher the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most special Soul Soul characteristic to date, as its damage intensity was unaffected by vitality strength or mental strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was influenced only by the wealth carried by the player and the level of the Soul Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The criterion for judging wealth was also simple: everything carried by oneself could be calculated as wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sacrificial Power, armed vehicles, resonance weapons, and even spiritual ores and spiritual plants in the warehouse could all be included in the wealth calculation scope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only things not counted within the wealth category were those inside the player's body, such as vitality strength, mental strength, and even the levels of other Soul Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The criterion for judging wealth seemed more like external force attached to the player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each release consumed mental strength; the more resources carried, the higher the additional damage bonus dealt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Wealth Soul Soul appeared, it was rejected by the vast majority of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether ordinary players or those from top-tier guilds, generally neither hoarded Sacrificial Power nor stockpiled resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they held resources, their first thought was to liquidate them into Sacrificial Power and then convert it into their own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the core gameplay of the Monster World in the players' eyes; Sacrificial Power was merely a tool, while one's own strength was the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the characteristic effect of Wealth was meaningless to ordinary players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discussions on the forum concluded that only two types of players could embed the \"Wealth\" Soul Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the merchant-style players of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the \"reseller-style\" players who flipped various resources on the Trading Row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic of these two player types was that they inevitably hoarded Sacrificial Power or various types of resources on their persons, all of which could be calculated as wealth damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final voting stage, 73.8% of players cast their votes in the \"Night is Approaching\" thread for: T5 Strength Soul Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly appeared Generation-Five Primordial was voted into the sewers by the players, regarded as an off-meta Soul Soul for the current version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second Primordial was a Generation-Five Primordial named Critical Hit, contained by the player \"Moon Rises Over the Sea\" in the Sun-Chasing Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its characteristic effect was to consume mental strength or vitality to apply a critical hit judgment to the next attack, causing 1x damage at the initial Level 1 state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most interesting point about the Critical Hit Soul Soul was that all attacks could have a critical hit applied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon its debut, the Critical Hit Soul Soul had no drawbacks other than an expensive purchase price and could adapt to all output-type builds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these, the amplification effect was most obvious for the Assassin build and for magic-system players pursuing the extreme output route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic of these builds was sacrificing other attributes in exchange for extreme burst output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassin-build players, who already possessed formidable killing power, performed explosively in the Trial Tower after gaining the boost from the Critical Hit Soul Soul's characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after stacking the \"Blade Ban\" effect fully through shadows, applying the critical hit effect allowed damage to stack up to 4x under a Level 40 Soul Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Critical Hit build was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Soul Soul was destined never to become a main cultivation Soul Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Soul Souls selected by players as their main cultivation shared one characteristic: their effect had to be the core Soul Soul of a build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forum guide-party players believed that the Critical Hit Soul Soul had low growth returns and provided no attribute bonuses; cultivating it as a main Soul Soul was essentially reducing one's own output damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the essence of the Critical Hit Soul Soul was a damage multiplier amplifier, its damage yield relied entirely on the level of base damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guide-party player who posted the thread used Critical Hit and Mighty Axe as examples of these two Soul Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test used a very ordinary Level 6 Star Vein, paired with a Warrior build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The embedded Soul Souls were Critical Hit, Mighty Axe, Shattered Blade, Gang Qi, Food Qi, and Blood Soul Traction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Critical Hit at Level 40 and all other Soul Souls at Level 1, the damage value dealt to a wooden dummy was: 504.7 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Level 40 Critical Hit provided a 3.9x damage bonus; the damage caused by other Soul Souls plus player attributes was 103 points, which became 504.7 after the Critical Hit bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the same combination, the damage coefficient bonus for a Level 40 Mighty Axe was 1.45x; adding the characteristic amplification from the player's own attributes and the characteristic effect bonuses from other Soul Souls, this strike could deal 296 points of damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the attached 1x amplification from a Level 1 Critical Hit, the final damage value was: 592 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still using the same combination, splitting the evolution points of the Level 40 Soul Soul into Mighty Axe at Level 37 and Critical Hit Soul Soul at Level 16.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage value dealt was: 648.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it could be concluded that the Critical Hit Soul Soul belonged to the type that adds flowers to brocade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a set of Star Vein combinations, having a Level 1 Critical Hit could double the damage value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But cultivating Critical Hit as the main Soul Soul was far less powerful than cultivating a Soul Soul that could provide attribute amplification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not to say the Critical Hit Soul Soul was weaker; with the same Level 1 bonus, the yield of the Critical Hit characteristic was far higher than that of a Level 1 Mighty Axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a secondary cultivation Soul Soul, the strength of the Critical Hit characteristic, according to the analysis of forum guide-party players, was sufficient to promote it to Version T0 level, making it one of the strongest secondary cultivation Soul Souls in the current version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any output-type build could achieve a qualitative leap with the Critical Hit bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing the players' evaluations of the newly contained Soul Souls on the forum, Qi Sheng shifted his gaze to the Earth-Tremor Continent region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the player map, this continent was almost completely shrouded in mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two areas within it were being explored by players, but required zooming in on local regions to see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was the newly opened map scene \"Sun-Chasing Lands,\" where a million novices were hunting and growing within the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, two spiritual ore zone domain nodes had been discovered, and several newly established novice guilds were attempting to capture them using human wave tactics combined with resurrection tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other area required zooming the map to the limit to see clearly; the name displayed on the map was: Sea of Illusory Flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng's gaze focused at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down from high above, on the boundless plain, billions of oddly colored flowers bloomed wildly, forming a sea of flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson flame-like Blood Flame Orchids rolled in the wind, golden-orange Radiance Sunflowers linked together in sheets, and silver-white Illusory Gauze Vines wound around the entire plain like a thin mist... Swarms of Spirit Butterflies swept over the flower sea, the fluorescent light sprinkled from their wings tracing fleeting trajectories in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further away, several huge Color-Crown Trees rose from the ground, their translucent branches refracting the sky's light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wind passed, the entire sea of flowers would raise waves; flowers of different hues collided with each other, emitting a \"rustling\" sound like the ebb and flow of tides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in a corner of the flower sea plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a cleared patch of ground, warriors of the Spirit Breath Race were busy with city construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwellings built in the new tribal grounds were not of traditional wood and stone structure, but were composed of living tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray-white biological matrix grew along preset frameworks, forming translucent cocoon-shaped domes; the tops of several larger buildings extended slender tentacle-like structures that swayed slowly with the wind direction, collecting energy from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neat cultivation zones were arranged on the open ground, but what grew inside were not ordinary crops, but a type of edible beast-creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the tribal grounds stood a tower-like structure, its surface covered in coral-like architecture; suspended at its apex was a huge crystalline body, from which swarms of insect-like flying bugs occasionally flew out to harvest plant energy from the flower sea plain before transporting it back to the high tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, within the first-floor space of the high tower, the Little Mage was burying his head in accounting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Breath Race had been in the Monster World for some time now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the teleportation coordinates given by the Guide, there were no racial forces stationed, so initial development proceeded extremely smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ordinary resources of the Monster World were sufficient to allow the Spirit Breath Race to enter a stage of rapid development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the words of the Shadow King, every breath taken while in the Monster World was evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not entirely without risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest characteristic of the Monster World was the descending forces that could appear at any moment, along with various powerful and terrifying monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days ago, an event occurred that left the Little Mage trembling with fear afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he was inspecting the tribal grounds when the sky suddenly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was just an abnormal weather change that occasionally occurred in the Monster World, until he looked up and saw a \"Sky-Canopy Behemoth\" blocking the sky flying overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fear remained vivid in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster's massive body hung down from the clouds like an inverted mountain range; although it had no wings, it could strangely float and fly, tearing open vortexes kilometers long within the cloud layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from an immense distance, the sense of oppression felt as if it were hanging directly overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the entire Spirit Breath Race stronghold fell into dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow cast by the behemoth lasted for a full three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long after it disappeared beyond the northern horizon, ripple-like wake trails from its passage still lingered in the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Mage had not the slightest doubt that if the Sky-Canopy Behemoth had lowered its head and breathed upon the Spirit Breath Race stronghold at that moment, the development plans of the Spirit Breath Race would have ended prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he himself would have returned to his beautiful homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was precisely the most terrifying aspect of the Monster World in the eyes of the alien races: death never arrived according to convention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the years struggling in the novice village, he had not felt this bone-chilling fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinite resurrection gave him an infinite margin for error; toward unknown things, he felt mostly curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after switching to the alien race perspective and activating the One-Life Cultivation Mode, he discovered just how terrifying the fear brought by the unknown could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The change in mindset brought an extremely strong sense of disparity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his player period, facing danger was like a child listening to ghost stories, knowing that the next second he could dive into his parents' embrace, with even his screams carrying excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or like listening to the rumbling sounds outside the window on a stormy night of lightning and thunder, yet knowing that he himself inside the house was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or like playing horror-type games... behind this kind of fear, there was always an absolute safety net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But viewing the Monster World from the perspective of the alien races, the feeling was entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the descending alien races, the Monster World possessed no safety net; every shadow hid unknown horrors capable of ending their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step of development was like walking a tightrope high above an abyss; every decision was a choice that gambled the future of their entire race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the \"Blood King\" of the Ling Xi Clan, he felt the pressure on him lately had become too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natural disasters on Earth could still be predicted through various technologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Monster World, one could never judge in what form danger would arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be a sudden sneeze from a passing Sky-Spanning Behemoth that transformed into a death storm leading the Ling Xi Clan to destruction; it could be something like the Mechanical Legion suddenly targeting the underground resources of this region, where after a deus ex machina event, a pillar of light would pierce the earth, dragging the Ling Xi Clan on the surface down to ruin along with it... or even a powerful race in the Monster World launching an attack during war that, passing through layers of spatial barriers, struck the Ling Xi Clan's base by accident, inadvertently wiping them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the perspective of the Ling Xi Clan, this was a world where nightmare and paradise coexisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful side was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every blade of grass and tree here was soaked in nature's grace; spring water scooped up by hand contained energy substances unfindable in minor worlds; wild fruits seen everywhere could bring optimization at the genetic level upon consumption; even the air carried energy that promoted life advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It both nurtured endless resources and treasures, yet was also a flesh-and-blood mill that could crush the Ling Xi Clan to powder at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently bound to the Ling Xi Clan, he naturally did not wish for them to march toward destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, every day he pondered how to enable the Ling Xi Clan to rise rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The normal path to advancement essentially involves seeking more resources and researching stronger technologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this path was too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ling Xi Clan's only advantage was the rule-bound land they had brought to the Monster World, which could be crafted into rules in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the resources required would be an astronomical figure, and breakthroughs at the technical level were also needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to accelerate this process but suffered from having no good method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, the efficiency of resource conversion was also a problem giving him a severe headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main way the Ling Xi Clan currently acquired resources was by mining plant energy from the Illusion Sea Plain or searching for nearby spiritual plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Thrones were very satisfied with this portion of the yield, but he felt it was too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ling Xi Clan had once been a carnivorous plundering force; how had they become little bees gathering honey everywhere upon arriving in the Monster World?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a player, growing without cheating made him feel uncomfortable all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having come to the Monster World, not using cheats was akin to slow suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how impressive one's talent, how firm one's will, or how hard one worked at growing, nothing compared to having a cheat in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old brother from the forum had once said: Are you very capable of working hard? What use is hard work? To mix in the Monster World, you must talk about external cheats and have a system; no matter how high your talent or how strong your will, you are just a small nobody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he was constantly considering one question: how to utilize his advantage as a player to accelerate the Ling Xi Clan's development speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he already had a feasible plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to use the Player Shop and Trading Hall functions to assist the Ling Xi Clan in maximizing the efficiency of resource conversion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The specific method was to hand over all spiritual resources the Ling Xi Clan obtained in the Monster World to himself, allowing him to resell them on the Trading Hall, and then use Sacrificial Power to purchase various goods needed for the Ling Xi Clan's development from the Player Mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most ordinary healing potion in the Mall was a miraculous elixir capable of saving dying Ling Xi Clan warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But although this plan seemed feasible, it required a reasonable explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not think of how to explain this matter to the Shadow King and the other Thrones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had asked the Guidance, but the Guidance was simply too lazy to bother with such constructive questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for posting on the forum to gather ideas... his situation was rather special; he would not receive any useful answers on the forum, only various forms of \"linguistic artistry\" following him like a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technical research, rule crafting, racial evolution... all of these required resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The efficiency of resource conversion determined the speed of a race's development under the same amount of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of 100 points of resource energy, the Black Black Tide system could consume 98 of them, while the Ling Xi Clan could barely manage 15.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the assistance of the player system, the development potential of the Ling Xi Clan would gain an unprecedented boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own Rule Soul Plan could also be perfected with the aid of the Ling Xi Clan's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thoughts churned, the Little Mage's gaze became resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What reasonable explanation? The Monster World did not need reason; he would immediately convene the Eight Kings Meeting and propose the demand to manage all resources for the Ling Xi Clan's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the idea formed, the Little Mage acted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven great Thrones of the Ling Xi Clan, having received notice, arrived at the decision chamber atop the central high tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the Little Mage had already taken his seat in advance and was waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the seven arriving Thrones were seated, the Bone King was the first to look at the Little Mage and ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood King, what matter have you summoned us to discuss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the inquiry, the Little Mage had no intention of beating around the bush and cut straight to the topic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today onward, I demand to manage all development resources of the Ling Xi Clan, including the essence energy of harvested spiritual plants, the output resources from the underground spiritual mine district recently discovered and prepared for mining, as well as all resources we brought with us to the Monster World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, the seven great Thrones fell silent, their eyes filled with incomprehension as they looked at the Blood King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pressure lately is indeed a bit heavy,\" the Fungus King spoke, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your reason,\" the Soul King asked, his gaze fixed directly on the Little Mage, his voice hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last night I had a dream; this dream granted me a special ability allowing me to connect to a mysterious shop. In this shop, I can use various spiritual resources to purchase goods. I have calculated the value of these goods and can confirm that utilizing this mysterious shop to convert resources can bring unimaginable improvements to our race's development.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, the seven great Thrones fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not joking, nor do I wish to joke; from today onward, I will manage all resources of our race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing the seven great Thrones still suspected his mental state had become problematic, the prepared Little Mage tossed a pure energy crystal purchased from the Player Shop onto the conference table, emitting a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gazes of the seven great Thrones were instantly attracted by the crystal slowly sliding across the conference table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liquid halos flowed within the crystal, like a drop of solidified starry river, radiating ripples of incredibly pure energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply not a pure energy crystal that the Ling Xi Clan's technology could create.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They suddenly realized that the Blood King might not be joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the environment they were in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this wondrous world, anything was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there truly was a possibility of awakening some powerful race's inheritance or encountering a special opportunity while asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they raised their heads, shifting their gaze from the energy crystal to the Little Mage, their expressions changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood King, please introduce this mysterious shop you mentioned in detail,\" the Soul King said, his tone calm, yet his eyes unable to hide his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3577,"2026-06-19T09:20:37.851Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c48e712d8285d272cbfee10da29d0dd48e2ed2f99cd106253e755612bc6596cd","monsters-are-coming-chapter-276","monsters-are-coming-chapter-274",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
