"The 'Principal's Office' is actually an unstable space, like a wooden boat tethered to the shore, shifting with every wind and wave, yet overall moving within a certain range."

"The area over by the Observatory, indeed, also falls within regions where the Principal's Office might appear."

"However, you need to find a way to approach the painting 'Star Moon Night'; if the 'Principal's Office' at this time docks over there, then the passage lies within 'Star Moon Night'."

"As for whether or not there's a notebook in the Principal's Office... you'll know once you're there."

"Since you firmly believe there's a notebook waiting over there, perhaps there truly is one waiting for you?"

In the end, her expression was mysterious and profound, as if she sensed something.

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "So, Boss... is there any way you can help me improve, preferably a method that squeezes potential dry?"

The moment "squeeze dry" was mentioned, Li Huiyuan's ears perked up and her eyes lit up, but she immediately shrank her neck.

She also knew it was Training Department's kind of squeezing.

The Boss spoke slowly, "I have two methods that can help you enhance..."

"The first is to continuously beat you into the state you were just in."

"Through our contact this and last time, I noticed you seem to possess a rather special trait whereby each time you recover from near death, your physical qualities significantly improve."

"As long as I keep turning you into what you were just now, your inherent qualities will improve drastically, much like pounding rice cakes."

"But this method also has its drawbacks, which manifest in both you and me."

"On one hand, as I continuously increase the offensive force applied to you, the force may reach a level where I can't finely control it, potentially hitting too hard and actually killing you."

"On the other hand, as you keep turning to mush and then recovering, your cognition of your own existence will blur, and during the training process, you will be closer than ever to Extraordinary Creatures."

"The boundary of 'human' will become particularly indistinct within you, and your Layers will become very vague."

"During the time you're repairing The City Wall, you'll know the Gymnasium's location is near the black sea, hence as your cognitive boundaries blur, you'll be more receptive than ever to the call from the depths of the black sea..."

"Your 'Dream Boundary' characteristic might very likely become a conduit for mysterious creatures within the black sea to perceive our area. When that time comes, if you manifest a threat, I will unhesitatingly do away with you."

Losing one's humanity, becoming a conduit traversing the Layers, akin to a traitor in reality, surely deserves death.

But if that's oneself, it's somewhat difficult to accept.

"Besides, if we only enhance the physical body, then perhaps you'd fare well against Security Guards in arm wrestling, but it's still inadequate against Night Guards." The Boss said.

Lin Yi said silently, "Then, what's the other method?"

The Boss said, "The other method is called 'Boiling a Frog in Warm Water'."

"I'm definitely suited for that!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, he said without hesitation.

It wasn't abrupt but rather that 'Boiling a Frog in Warm Water' sounded tailor-made for his 'Adaptation' trait.

The Boss glanced at him and continued, "As the name suggests, this method is much gentler."

"Throw you into a swimming pool; you just swim slowly."

After saying that, the Boss surprisingly fell silent.

Lin Yi paused, "Uh... That simple?"

As soon as he spoke, he noticed the Boss looking at him calmly.

He shuddered, suddenly realizing the issue!

The fewer the words, the bigger the issue!

Damn, how reckless!

The Boss said, "Seems you chose the second approach."

"Very well, but we can also try the first way for a while."

"On the premise that I can still control the force, let's enhance your physical body first."

Hearing this, Lin Yi did not object.

He was originally there for Devil training, so it didn't matter how it was done as long as it was effective.

Moreover, such an approach inching towards death, was indeed the one that could bring the effect of 'Three-stick Quick Success Streaming Sakura'.

"Sure." Lin Yi nodded solemnly.

At that moment, from a distance, Xia Lian walked over with furrowed brows and a face full of suspicion.

"Have you seen that kid Wei Liang?"

As soon as she met them, she inquired about Wei Liang's whereabouts.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, that's right, where's Liangzi?

He had been smashed and reassembled once, yet Liangzi still hasn't arrived?

Even if changing clothes takes time, it shouldn't take that long, right?

But speaking of being slow... Xia Lian did seem rather slow, and on her person... there seemed to be an extra lingering fragrance, could it be she had taken a nice bath?

emmm...

Lin Yi observed with his eyes and maintained his composure, "Liangzi might... have gone to the restroom."

"Alright, well, since you've regrouped with the Boss, it's not my concern anymore, I'll go find Wei Liang, dared to stand me up, that guy's dead meat!" Xia Lian scoffed repeatedly, pressing her knuckles as they cracked with a "crack crack," and walked off.

The Boss glanced at Lin Yi, "Stand over there, get yourself into the best condition, and then we'll begin."

"Okay." Naturally, Lin Yi complied.

After Lin Yi walked away, the Boss looked at Li Huiyuan, a peculiar expression lifting the corner of his lips, "Huihuizi, you just now actually had an impulse to lay hands on me."

Already hesitant, upon hearing the Boss's words, Li Huiyuan immediately tensed up.
