The first night is a desperate race against time. Cao Xing, using his game knowledge, directs Liu Muxue to gather materials while he frantically repairs the Lord’s Hut, securing a vital shelter. His efforts are rewarded; he is the first survivor on the entire server to build the hut, earning a precious Ice Healing Skill. The real breakthrough comes when he uses the skill on a poisoned Polar Person. The Eternal Power talent triggers, turning the temporary heal-over-time into a permanent, passive regeneration effect. The concept of "infinite healing" is born. Cao Xing and Liu Muxue realize with shock that the talent works on them too, granting them a near-immortal edge against the world’s dangers. This discovery transforms their strategy from mere survival to aggressive expansion, as they now have a team that can endlessly recover from any non-lethal blow.

Emboldened by their newfound regenerative powers, Cao Xing leads a small party to seize a coal mine guarded by two level 3 Snow Wolves. The battle is a brutal tutorial for Liu Muxue, who learns to tank and fight under Cao Xing’s direct command. The fight is a one-sided slaughter thanks to their infinite healing and the power of Yilena, a newly summoned level 5 Snake-man Priest. The victory is overwhelming, yielding a massive amount of wolf meat and a legendary reward for being the first to claim a resource point: an ancient Barrett sniper rifle. The weapon’s absurdly high damage makes Cao Xing a one-man artillery unit, capable of one-shotting most early-game threats. This acquisition shifts the power balance dramatically, giving him a trump card that can fell even the most powerful monsters in the region.

A level 15 elite Snowy Blizzard Bear is discovered only three kilometers from the camp, an existential threat that must be eliminated. Cao Xing devises a risky plan, using his Frost Wolf Knight, Assam, as bait. As the colossal bear charges, Cao Xing calmly lines up a shot with the Barrett. The first shot rips a massive hole in the bear’s back, and a subsequent headshot drops the beast before it can even reach him. The kill is a masterclass in strategic power, earning Cao Xing a massive experience boost, a Heart of Power for Assam’s advancement, and the blueprint for a defensive Arrow Tower. The victory proves that his early-game power is not a fluke but a calculated, repeatable strategy. It also cements his reputation as the dominant force in his region, drawing the attention and envy of other survivors.

Following a key from a slain hunter, Cao Xing leads his now formidable army to a hidden Goblin Treasury. The dungeon is a gauntlet of corrupted goblins and traps, culminating in a brutal boss fight against a level 25 Goblin King. The battle is a desperate, multi-phase struggle where Cao Xing’s army, enhanced by his Eternal Power, is pushed to its limits. The Goblin King’s devastating area-of-effect attacks nearly wipe the team, but Cao Xing’s tactical commands, the infinite healing of his troops, and Sarah’s evolution into a leader-level assassin turn the tide. The victory is the greatest yet, yielding a king’s ransom of golden equipment, a throne that grants charisma, and a resurrection altar blueprint. This raid proves that Cao Xing’s territory is no longer just surviving; it is becoming a true power in this new world.
