Within the mysterious space.

Staring at the second door in front of him, already filled with knowledge points, Xu Yun's expression was slightly solemn.

According to the situation of the 1665 dungeon earlier, theoretically, he just needed to lightly push it to easily step through the door.

What kind of new world would it be?

Still the 17th century?

Or the 12th century? The 6th century?

Or even...

Before the Common Era?

Though he was excited, Xu Yun did not push the door unprepared like a rookie this time.

He first exited the space and returned to reality.

Then he went to his desk and picked up a paper and pen.

He jotted down two lines of words in no particular order.

The content of the first line was:

Knowledge points, Door 1, Door 2,

The second line was:

Extermination live broadcast, thesis, company establishment, product production.

This was a habit Xu Yun developed from writing online novels in his past life. Unlike many writers who use a computer to draft, Xu Yun always organized his thoughts with pen and paper before writing.

Of course.

Due to his slow handwriting, he mostly knew the plot just two hours before the readers did.

Focusing back on the original place,

The two lines written by Xu Yun, the former referred to the most direct changes of the two doors within the halo, while the latter were potential changing factors.

As for the reason he chose to return to reality, it was very simple—aside from inside the dungeon, the flow of time inside the space was consistent with reality.

Which means that as much time passed in the space, the same amount of time passed in reality.

Therefore, instead of staying in such a claustrophobic space, it was more comfortable to return to reality.

Then Xu Yun thought for a moment and first excluded the four words "company establishment".

After all, the initial time of company establishment could be traced back to a few days ago. At that time, Xu Yun did not receive any feedback of increased knowledge points, so this possibility could be temporarily ruled out.

As for the remaining thesis and product production, to be honest, the probability wasn't very high.

It's not that these two wouldn't affect the generation of knowledge points, but because both the thesis and the bait products haven't yet appeared in the public eye.

Yesterday, Morton already replied with the external review feedback of the thesis to NAR, and no page fee was needed for the solicitation thesis, so the thesis was already at the final publishing stage.

However, even with that, it would still be absolutely impossible for the thesis to be formally published within a week or two.

The bait products were similar.

As Xu Yun mentioned at the press conference, even being available for sale within a month would be considered fast.

Therefore, whether the thesis, product, and derived income can affect the knowledge points, needs further observation over time.

So the main reason for the knowledge points change is most likely—

The extermination live broadcast!

Or more specifically, the social influence of the event!

The more people it affects, the greater the number of knowledge points.

And this hypothesis coincides perfectly with the change in knowledge points when Anta appeared in the Little Niu portrait.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help but relax slightly.

Although the origin of the mysterious halo was still unknown, at least part of the mechanism of knowledge points was grasped, preventing him from being completely in the dark.

Then he circled the words "Door 1" and "Door 2", muttering:

"Strange... Why did the Little Niu dungeon only increase by 7 knowledge points, while the second door's knowledge points increased by a whole hundred?"

After a while, Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, then wrote down two words:

Attributes, Overflow.

The former means the knowledge point attributes of the two doors were different and couldn't be compared in the same way.

Just like currency denominations, the knowledge points from the second opening of the 1665 dungeon belong to 'ten-dollar', while the second door is 'one-dollar'.

Due to the different conversion rates, that's why the deviation between the two was so outrageous.

As for the overflow guess, it was...

"The extermination live broadcast gave a total of 107 points, filled the unopened second door first, and the remaining seven points overflowed back to the first door. It's a matter of selective priority, unrelated to the point attributes."

Looking at the two possibilities in front of him, Xu Yun's expression was somewhat complicated.

If the infusing mechanism of knowledge points was overflow type, it would be manageable, requiring just 90 normal knowledge points to reopen the Little Niu dungeon.

But if it's the first possibility...

Then trying to meet Little Niu again would be extremely difficult.

Then he gently shook his head, putting these matters behind him.

Regardless of whether the knowledge points overflow or have some transformation mechanism, it was evidently impossible to meet Little Niu at the moment. Therefore, what really needed consideration now was...

The opening of the second door!

With the experience from the first time, Xu Yun naturally wouldn't rashly push the door this time.

He first pulled open the drawer and took out a small wooden box from it.

The wooden box had a sliding opening method, without modern industrial components.

Following that, Xu Yun slid the lid of the wooden box revealing the objects inside:

They were a dozen pieces of scattered gold and silver, the largest about the size of a fingernail, extremely irregular in shape.

These gold and silver originally were bullion and silver bars Xu Yun bought from Taobao, totaling over a thousand yuan. After obtaining them, he used a high-temperature furnace in the physics lab to remelt them into irregular shapes.

These small pieces of gold and silver were one of Xu Yun's preparations.

There's a saying that money isn't everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

And throughout the long history of human civilization, apart from the very early barbarian tribe era, in other periods, whether in China or abroad, gold and silver could be considered hard currencies in money.

With these pieces of gold and silver in hand, at least he wouldn't face the embarrassment of freeloading food in Little Niu's home again.

In addition to this.

Xu Yun also prepared a simple fire-tempered knife, a ceramic bottle similar to a quick acting heart-relief pill, a wig, and a package of compressed biscuits wrapped in burlap.

All these items used basic industrial techniques, so theoretically, as long as he didn't cross over to the Bronze Age, these things wouldn't get forcibly stuck in reality like a cellphone would.

Carefully, he packed these items one by one, changing into a base layer quick-drying shirt, with a down jacket as the outerwear—based on the 1665 dungeon, the halo seemed not to shield clothing that much.

Otherwise, the plastic tips on zippers and shoelaces should normally be left in reality.

After preparing these steps, Xu Yun adjusted the surveillance camera bought online into operation mode.

Although time inside and outside the dungeon wouldn't change, there was one thing he always wanted to find out:

Whether he transmigrated physically or in spirit?

Of course.

Perhaps the frame rate of the camera couldn't capture the changes in an instant, but since it cost nothing to try, why not?

Everything prepared.

Xu Yun took a deep breath before returning to the space, heading straight to the second door.

He pushed heavily, stepping through the door.

At the same time.

On the distant British Peninsula.

Around 1960, the Royal Society of England built a celebrity monument in the London suburbs to commemorate notable scientists in British history.

At this moment.

Whether it was due to the softness of the ground or not, the monument representing Robert Hooke suddenly trembled slightly...

As if it had once again been NTR'd...

Hmm?

Why say "once again"?
