# Days 136-140

The past few days have brought a series of setbacks in my experiments with the gems, leading me to seek advice from heroes who witnessed the unexpected explosion in the cave. Their stories and observations prompted me to a new direction in my research. In discussions with the heroes, an interesting pattern emerged: perhaps the key to activating the gems lies not in their power or energy but in the ability to cause a chain reaction of transformations.

This hypothesis suggests that combining gems in a specific sequence could initiate a powerful reaction capable of affecting minerals. This approach opens up new horizons for experiments and requires a deep understanding of the interactions between different types of gems and their energetic potential.

On the other hand, reports from the vanguard about a depression teeming with monsters in the steppe make one ponder the possible reasons for such a phenomenon. It could indicate the presence of something valuable or key to understanding the world of "IN" at this site. I've urged heroes to pay special attention to scouting this territory, hoping it will reveal new secrets and opportunities to us.

These reflections and discoveries remind me that science is not only about collecting data and conducting experiments but also about the ability to see connections where they are not immediately apparent. We stand on the threshold of possibilities that could radically change our understanding of the world of "IN" and ways to interact with it. Each new discovery and each failure teach us to be attentive to details, ready to review our beliefs, and open to unexpected conclusions.

The path of a researcher is full of uncertainties, but it is these uncertainties that make the scientific journey so fascinating and significant. Ahead lie new challenges and discoveries, and I am confident that together we can unravel the mysteries of the world of "IN", contributing to the development of our community and expanding the boundaries of our understanding.
