Chapter 19

Earth Spirit Net Headquarters - Vulnerability Clinic, Cosmic Era Year 38 Chen Mo stared at the spiritual root scan on the diagnostic monitor, his brow tightly furrowed. The spiritual root, which should have displayed a single spectrum, was now riddled with rainbow-colored spots—the "poisoning" symptoms of absorbing excessive vulnerability consciousness. Chuntao rushed into the clinic cradling a weeping spirit butterfly. "Young Master! The butterflies are suddenly attacking users, and their wings are covered in garish garbled code!" Lin Xiaoman pulled up the spirit net big data, her voice laced with anxiety. "Over the past three months, the 'vulnerability ingestion over-limit rate' has skyrocketed from 0.3% to 27%. Users are deliberately implanting irrelevant vulnerabilities into their spiritual roots in the pursuit of 'uniqueness,' and some are even using 'cognitive error' code to block physical pain." She pointed to a monitoring screen where a user's spiritual root was frantically splitting into useless vulnerabilities like "pathologically directionless" and "lacking sense of direction," resembling a malignant tumor.
