【Floor 75 Cute Little Ghost】: OP, then I have another new idea. If I manage my stats steadily and keep my Spirit value on the panel above twenty percent, does that mean absolutely nothing will go wrong and I won't lose control?
【Floor 76 OP's reply】: In theory, yes. But in practice, it's completely impossible.
Don't rely too much on the panel.
The panel only displays integer values; any fractional depletion or hidden consumption after the decimal point isn't shown at all.
This was also the biggest problem we encountered during our testing.
The panel's value changes are too sluggish and insensitive. Many times, you see it at twenty percent, but your actual hidden overdraft has already crossed the line.
Then, in the next second, you get to enjoy a performance—a diving performance from twenty percent straight to zero.
【Floor 77 OP's reply】: In short, trust your own physical sensations.
Your physical sensations are always more reliable than the panel. The moment a headache, trance, or any other uncomfortable feeling appears, stop what you're doing and rest immediately. Don't force yourself to push through.

【Floor 81 Scholar Meets Me】: I have a bold idea. Can we exploit a bug to train our attributes?
I often see this written in novels, and I think it makes some sense.
Since the personal space is locked and absolutely safe, when I'm free, I can practice casting there, deliberately emptying my Spirit and then waiting for it to recover.
By training like this to get my body used to it, wouldn't I be able to increase my limit or speed up my recovery rate?
【Floor 82 New Year Limited Edition】: Curious too. I'd like to ask OP the same question.
If this actually works, wouldn't spellcasting classes and exploration classes take off immediately?
【Floor 83 OP's reply】: I don't know. There's no definitive conclusion from actual testing on this.
My team has been pushing for high evaluation scores lately, hoping everyone can resurrect together. This kind of experiment would affect our condition for the next instance, so we gave up on testing it.
If anyone is interested, you can do long-term self-testing. If you get an effective conclusion, I can reward you with some points.
What is currently known is that the higher the remaining percentage of your Spirit, the faster your natural recovery speed will be.

【Floor 123 Scholar Meets Me】: I'm back, finished testing.
The data has already been verified by OP, and I even got some points. This post is verified.
Let me give everyone the most direct answer: my personal test shows it's useless.
【Floor 124 Scholar Meets Me】: During three consecutive rest periods, I forced myself to empty my Spirit every day. The limit didn't rise at all, and there was no noticeable change in recovery speed.
The only thing I trained was my pain tolerance. Now, even with a splitting headache, I can keep a straight face.
It's truly miserable.
And my body is aching too.

There were countless other detailed questions afterward. Some asked if items could save them in a pinch, some asked if entering an instance as a team would affect the consumption-reducing buff, and some asked about the duration of negative debuffs.
The OP answered each one patiently, with both clear logic and easy-to-understand explanations.
Dealing with a large group of adults required the level of tolerance and patience of a kindergarten teacher, deeply illustrating the saying that earning a living is a tough and bitter business.
Some even asked rather foolish questions like, “Where do I look to see my mana bar?” or “How can I see my mana bar?”
The OP patiently answered them too, telling them to check their personal information panel.
After reading through the thread line by line, Bai Ci gradually got a clear picture.
Her current Spirit attribute was twelve points. Although it wasn't the baseline value, the limit wasn't top-tier either.
Unfortunately, she held two heavy-consumption skills that drained Spirit, leaving her with a rather low margin for error.
In the future, when using the Eye for investigation or spirit channeling to trace origins, it would be best to only use one of them at a time, rather than using them consecutively or mixing them together.
Secondly, she had to take things step by step and absolutely could not overdraw too much at once; otherwise, she would highly likely trigger a mental negative debuff, which would outweigh any benefits.
Bai Ci casually clicked on the OP's avatar. The personal page was minimalist and clean. Aside from the dozens of threads posted, there was only a single cold system indicator: “Cleared.”
Exiting the guide thread, Bai Ci turned to search for discussions about the current instance.
As a class-restricted instance, Fog Mountain Ancient House came with its own popularity, and the view counts on related threads were not low. Bai Ci casually clicked on the one with the highest popularity.
Although the title was a bit clickbaity and carried a hint of schadenfreude, it was indeed eye-catching.

【Rant】 ×, Schadenfreude ✓ Hahaha, I knew it. This time it's another class-restricted instance.

“Let me see which unlucky bastards got dragged into the restricted class pool this time.”
“I heard that in this class-restricted instance, the restrictions are for supernatural-type classes, like spirit mediums, shamans, and the like.”
“These classes are quite rare, and I've racked my brain but can't think of any other classes that could even remotely share any common ground with supernatural ones. So, were there any unlucky bastards from other classes who got press-ganged into this? I'm dying of curiosity.”
【Floor 2 Baked Cheese Archaeology】: “Unlucky bastard reporting for duty!”
“My class is Archaeologist, and I got dragged into the class-restricted instance. My teammates were a Daoist priest, a spirit medium, and a medium.”
“The experience wasn't exactly like being in prison, but I couldn't help out with fighting monsters at all. Whenever a fight started, the whole team was throwing down like gods, and I could only squat in the corner. That's what happens when you're completely out of sync with the current patch.”
【Floor 3 OP】: “Hahaha, the archaeology bro got caught. I thought the system would let you off.”
“But then again, don't archaeologists often go down into tombs? That counts as a connection. Pulling you in wasn't completely without reason.”
【Floor 4 Baked Cheese Archaeology's reply】: “Don't slander me. I do serious academic archaeology. The ones who raid tombs are tomb raiders; how can we be the same?”
“Besides, I'm a physical fighter. My class skill is retrieving information. I don't know any supernatural methods at all.”
【Floor 5 Stewed Pigeon in an Iron Pot】: “Archaeologists still aren't innocent. Look at Jackie Chan Adventures; their archaeologists can use magic and even physically beat up villains who use magic.”
【Floor 6 Pure Additives No Natural】: “Archaeologists indeed aren't innocent, but as a psychologist, I am very innocent.”
“May I ask what the system was thinking when it dragged me into this supernatural instance? Did it want me to provide psychological counseling to the final boss?”
【Floor 7 Wildfire】: “Archaeologists indeed aren't innocent, but as a novelist, I am very innocent.”
“May I ask what the system was thinking when it dragged me into this supernatural instance? Did it want me to write a biography for the final boss?”
【Floor 8 Xun】: “Archaeologists indeed aren't innocent, but as a reporter, I am very innocent.”
“May I ask what the system was thinking when it dragged me into this supernatural instance? Did it want me to interview the final boss and write a press release for him?”
【Floor 9 Dream】: “Archaeologists indeed aren't innocent, but as a folklorist, I am very innocent.”
“May I ask what the system was thinking when it dragged me into this supernatural instance? Did it want me to study the final boss and write a research paper?”
【Floor 10 Where's My Reflector?】: “Archaeologists indeed aren't innocent, but as a photographer, I am very innocent.”
“May I ask what the system was thinking when it dragged me into this supernatural instance? Did it want me to take a set of high-definition, uncensored portraits of the final boss?”
