It started when a bloody rain was about to fall.

More importantly—

The upper limit of spatial stability has begun to surge!

88...89...90...95...100...110！

It eventually stabilized at 120 units!

Lin Ye could clearly sense that this was not a simple increase in value, but rather that the "stability limit" had been permanently increased by 20%!

The dark gray sheen of the spatial barrier is deeper, the surface texture is clearer and more complex, and the "texture" of the entire space has become more substantial and stable.

"I see……"

Lin Ye wiped the blood from his face and under his nostrils, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"The fragments need my mental energy as a 'key' or 'fuel' to unlock deeper functions. I just unintentionally met a certain condition, so it gave me a reward in return."

At the same time, Lin Ye once again focused his consciousness into the fragment.

The array of light spots changed—

The outermost ring of thirty-six light spots were all lit up at this moment, emitting a stable and soft gray light.

The light was no longer the faint flicker of before, but a stable, continuous light that seemed to last forever.

Of the seventy-two points of light in the second ring, three were already half-lit—like stars before dawn, faintly glowing but not yet fully blooming.

At the very center of the array, a more complex and larger cluster of light began to rotate extremely slowly.

The rhythm of the spinning was ancient and solemn, as if some ancient behemoth that had been sleeping was being gradually awakened.

"This looks like... some kind of progress bar? Or a ladder of inheritance?"

Lin Ye guessed in his mind. The points of light were arranged into a clear pattern in his consciousness, each representing a node, a level, a secret that needed to be unlocked.

"When all the light spots in all layers are lit up in sequence, the fragment will be fully activated? I just lit up the outermost ring and received a reward for increased stability."

If the guess is correct, this mysterious fragment may contain a complete, hierarchical system of inheritance or evolution.

Each condition you meet unlocks a new feature or piece of knowledge—like climbing a tower, where you can see a wider view with each floor you ascend.

finally--

"What will happen after full activation?"

Lin Ye murmured softly. The sound echoed gently in the silent room, like some ancient inquiry, or some devout prayer.

"Is it a complete, legendary spatial ability? Or some kind of divine inheritance that transcends the realm of supernatural abilities?"

Lin Ye shook his head, temporarily suppressing his surging curiosity.

It's simply not the time for in-depth research.

The most urgent tasks are to enhance combat capabilities, accumulate resources, and establish influence.

The study of the fragments can proceed slowly; they are already bound to one's own consciousness, and cannot be escaped or lost.

Just like the old saying from a past life: You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.

The apocalypse taught him not only survival skills, but also the patience to wait.

Lin Ye then sat back down at the computer and took a deep breath.

We began developing a detailed, even demanding, six-month survival and development plan.

The Notepad software opened. In the brand-new document, the cursor blinked in the upper left corner, like a traveler about to embark on a journey, taking one last look back at the starting point before turning back and moving forward without looking back.

His fingers hovered above the keyboard, pausing for three seconds.

Then, begin tapping.

Phase 1 (April 16 - May 31): Primitive Capital Accumulation and Intelligence Acquisition

April 20th: Short Tianrui Technology stock. Target return of over 500%, taking advantage of the remembered sharp drop.

With an initial capital of 327.5 yuan and a leverage of 500 times, the theoretical return could exceed 10 million to 100 million yuan. This is the first cornerstone, and it must be built steadily, accurately, and ruthlessly.

At the same time, maintain close contact with Chen Tianming. Talk to him at least twice a week, keeping him under pressure while also maintaining trust.

We must obtain precise intelligence and access information about Tianrui Technology's underground laboratory at the moment when his psychological defenses are most vulnerable.

May 8th: Go long on Huike Biotechnology. I recall an announcement of a blockbuster new drug approval, which would cause the stock price to rise 300% within three days. At that time, profits from Tianrui Technology stock can be used for investment, with the goal of rolling over funds to over 500 million.

May 15th: Heavily invested in the lithium battery sector. Recalling the release of favorable national industrial policies, the sector surged by 200%. Further leverage can be added, with a target of pushing the investment to the 15 billion level.

• In the process, seek other short-term high-profit opportunities. Futures, cryptocurrency volatility, penny stocks that are about to be delisted but have hidden value... Within two months, the existing funds must be transformed into at least 50 billion in usable capital.

Only in this way can we have sufficient purchasing power in the second phase of large-scale procurement of supplies.

Phase Two (June 1 - July 31): Early Site Exploration and Base Preparation

• Early June: Travel to "Nanshan Ancient Temple", located 6 kilometers west of the capital city.

Past Life Memories: The stone tablet appeared around June 15th, sparking a small-scale struggle, and contains spatial source matter.

We must arrive early, pick up the goods in advance, and avoid all potential competitors.

Mid-June: Take advantage of the second wave of the financial market rally.

I recall several stocks that experienced a surge in value during this period due to restructuring expectations, potentially doubling their capital to over 100 billion yuan.

At that time, the numbers in the account will no longer be just numbers, but will become the bricks and tiles of the future base.

July 2nd: Sold off all financial assets before the global stock market crash. On that day in my past life, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 3000 points, thousands of A-shares hit their daily limit down, and countless fortunes evaporated overnight.

But Lin Ye knew that day would come.

Before that, all the numbers must be turned into physical goods—gold, medicine, weapons, fuel.

• Use funds to rent or purchase abandoned warehouses and air-raid shelters in the suburbs.

They began secretly stockpiling critical supplies:

Long-lasting foods (compressed biscuits, canned goods, dehydrated vegetables), drinking water (bottled water, water purification equipment), medicines (antibiotics, painkillers, first aid kits), weapons (cold weapons, crossbows, and even firearms obtained through underground channels), energy (generators, fuel oil, solar panels), building materials (cement, steel bars, protective doors and windows), and seeds (drought-resistant crops, fast-growing vegetables).

• Recruit the first batch of trustworthy personnel. Prioritize those whose loyalty or character has been proven in past lives.

But background checks must be conducted discreetly—Lin Ye of the Last Days Church believes trust requires evidence, not just feelings.

Phase Three (August 1 - September 30): Strength Enhancement and Intelligence Network Construction

• Explore other early-appearing source material remains or anomalies.

In past life memories, several "anomalies" will appear during this period—strange plant growth, mutated animal behavior, and peculiar mineral crystals.

Everywhere may hide opportunities to enhance fragments and improve superpowers.

Continue large-scale stockpiling of supplies. Upgrade the base's defense system:

Reinforce the perimeter wall (concrete pouring, with barbed wire on top), install concealed surveillance (infrared cameras, motion sensors), and set up early warning traps (trip-off alarms, ground spikes, and warning bells).

• Establish a preliminary intelligence network.

Monitoring global anomalies—various signs will appear before a bloodbath descends:

Massive animal migrations, unusual weather phenomena, mysterious disappearances, and the rise of religious fanaticism.

These fragments must be collected, organized, and analyzed to piece together a complete picture of the apocalypse.

• Exercise caution when approaching future important awakened individuals, scientists, or leaders of power.

I do not seek alliances, but only to leave behind a seed of "understanding".

When the end times come, this seed will take root and sprout, becoming the most precious resource.
