Chapter 48: CLAN ELDER ONLY SECRET ROOM 🤑🤑
SECRET ROOM ENTRY (IT'S GIVING VIP ACCESS):
Location: Underground primeval spring cave (Clan's OG spawn point).
Security: Dark Hall guards + Digital Shade Gu DRM.
Time limit: 15 minutes/day (Fang Yuan speedrunning lore).
Requirements: Must be an elder
Digital Shade Gu Breakdown:
Green: Rank 1 recipes (noob tier).
Red-Black: Rank 2 recipes (mid-game builds).
White: Rank 3 recipes (elder privilege unlocked).
Orange/Purple: Rank 4-5 recipes (clan leader only).
RANK 3 MOON GU OPTIONS:
1️⃣ Golden Moon Gu: Bigger moonblades (+10% swag).
2️⃣ Frost Moon Gu: Slows enemies (Phonk remix).
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.

SHEN CUI'S REGRET ARC LOOOOL
Sees Fang Yuan's elder status.
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."
