The author's reasoning is a little sketchy although I think it is important to point out that your example only proves we cannot rule out the possibility. We don't know if the conditions that lead to the 'algae" can reasonably be discovered by the MC and whether the system is capable of creating these conditions.

Is it possible there is more than 1 wood command token?

I believe he is punching below his weight, which in boxing means he has a weight advantage.

An imbalance in information is truely a hard thing to overcome.

I think Song Huangdae spilled the beans after he was discovered to be a spy.

Not if you are also showing off.

It is also seems similar to 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality'. Both are slow-burn cultivator training stories with special emphasis on long-term term growth and the details that make it possible.

The MC is an unreliable narrator and a poor judge of predicting his own future progress compared to others so it is a good thing he doesn't have a defeatist attitude.

This is a slow burning cultivator training story which prioritizes growth over time and the details that make this possible. Some will find this boring and repetitive but I really enjoy this book.

Lol, MC is such a drama queen
