[h3]Initial Unlock Content Increase[/h3]

Increased the initial number of passive abnormality slots for each character (from 2 to 4).
Each character's initial traits and the first two upgradeable traits are adjusted to be initially unlocked.

[h3]Reduced Unlock Conditions[/h3]
When an unlock item displays incorrectly (e.g., cumulative kills 13/10 monsters), it can be unlocked by using that character as the leader and completing a game settlement (starting and abandoning is also acceptable); it can also be unlocked by having that character in the party and settling after a game.

Reduced the values required for unlocking active anomaly slots for characters, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 5 BOSSes" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:

Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 3 BOSSes.
Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 2 BOSSes.
Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 1 BOSS.

Reduced the values required for unlocking passive anomaly slots for characters, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 10/50/100/150 monsters" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:

Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 10/30/60/100 monsters.
Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 5/20/45/75 monsters.
Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 5/15/30/50 monsters.

Reduced the values required for unlocking profession anomalies (still requires unlocking the profession anomaly system first).

For the second to fifth items, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 15 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:
- Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 10 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4.
- Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 7 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4.
- Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 5 minor monsters in Chapter 1/2/3/4.
For the sixth item, adjusted from "this character has cumulatively killed 100 minor monsters" to different conditions for different characters, mainly divided into three categories:
- Glitch, Anomy, Blanche, Stray: This character has cumulatively killed 60 minor monsters.
- Verica, Regel: This character has cumulatively killed 50 minor monsters.
- Mira, Soma: This character has cumulatively killed 40 minor monsters.

Reduced the values required for unlocking experience rewards, adjusted from "this character, when acting as leader, participates in 1/5/10/15/20 events" to "this character, when acting as leader, participates in 1/2/4/7/10 events".

[h2]Optimization[/h2]

Adjusted the AI of [Fungal Snake] and [Spore Snake].
The keyboard shortcut for leaving a battle has been adjusted from Esc to Space in the End of Battle screen.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

Fixed an issue where acquiring high-tier professional anomalies directly in the game did not unlock the corresponding items in the collection room.
Fixed some UI display issues.
Corrected the translation error in the description of [Common Vision].
After using campaign items in the character detail panel inside the store, the remaining quantity will now refresh correctly when returning to the store.
