Hmmm... Well, this week looks to be a pretty light week in cultivation. Again.
Looking at the ever more helpful combat logs, we have some good dice to see where we stack up offense-wise, and we are approaching the levels that our offense wants to be at, but it's not quite there yet.
It looks like a Green/Bronze appraisal might have 33 dice in their physical defense. This means that we probably want around 33-35 dice for our spiritual offense.
Using @Arkeus wonderful little combat dice catalog, it seems that once we equip FSS we will be at 29 dice normally for our FVM opener. Hopefully, an upgrade to FSS will bring that to 30. FVM's upgrade to green might get us another +1/+2 to the dice for that attack, which would push us towards 31/32 dice. Just shy of where we want to be. I guess should we upgrade FSS we can see what the boost is and we can go from there. Also, what stuff lies in the dark pool from the Hidden Moon's quest. That might help.
Another way to look at it is to try and reach a level that our offense matches our defense. If Meizhen says our defense is acceptable, then being able to reach that with our offense should be enough to breach all but the most dedicated defense specialists. Runs into the same problem though with getting the dice. We may be able to figure out the numbers to hit, but we need to get there first.

@Thor's Twin there's no getting around it unfortunately, since one of our majors is taken with mom, and we REALLY need to finish Moon Quest ASAP to continue EPC

There are ways of getting around it, but they probably aren't worth the short-term cost.
We could do a tutor + closed door week to get 5 cultivation actions for all of our minors, or simply one of those and sacrifice 1 or 2 minors respectively. But all the minors look cool and engaging, so I don't think anyone will go for plans that try for them.
What would be cutted though?
Sixiang and the Zhenguis minor are non starters. Which leaves cutting Gu Tai? Or some reimagining shenanigans with tying major and minors. Like trying to argue that cultivating with Cai Renxiang can lead into the Gan minor.
EDIT: Like, if you can convincingly argue about tying the Gan minor to a major action more power to you, but I personally don't see it.

I'm starting to get a minor Satsuki Kiryuin vibe from Cai Renxiang. Between her personality, her fear of her mother, and her access to magic clothes (Qi's outfit upgraded itself by consuming a fiber from Renxiang's). Hell, she even has her own Gamagora (Gan Guangli).

-[X] (minor) After hearing of your encounter in the woods, Gan Guangli announced that he wanted to challenge the strange boy. You... might be interested in watching.
So this is exactly the same as More Sixiang, except I traded Gu Tai for Tree Dude. I believe it's safe enough to leave Gu Tai for a week, given that we left Cai for a week after we broke through, and I'm obviously not about to ditch the Sixiang action in this plan. Zhengui also needs as many actions as possible from us so he'll grow big and strong for the tournament, do Gu Tai is the one that basically has to be sacrificed here.
Bear in mind, I'm pretty sure if we don't take Tree Dude this week, the option will be lost next week. Guangli is choosing to challenge him this week after all, I doubt he'll do so again next week.

me neither, which is why I cut Sixiang for my plan. Believe me, If I didn't think the other minors were important, I'd be rearranging my plan to include Sixiang due to how many people seem to want it!

yeah, cutting Tai this week is just rude. Remember we formally took up cais offer, so we need to formally reject his if we don't want to offend the Gu. And if we offend the Gu, no more friendship with Xuilan.

It's probably fine to delay a week before we tell him? It's not like we went running straight to Cai right after we broke through.

In my defense, I only recently caught up, and I didn't bother reading all the posts in-between chapters because this thing is already 2236 pages long.[X] Plan More Sixiang plus Beef Fight

Eh it's ok we just figured out they were expies about when CRX and Gan saved us in Thunderdome and Yrsillar confirmed it later.

Or we could burn the custom talisman four effects on +offensive dice and be done with the issue alltogether.
Sixiang is kinda super time critical given how she (he?) is going to disappear in 2 weeks. Gu Tai is seemingly the easiest one to cut since it only makes Ling Qi rude by delaying it another week.
(Admittedly, given how he described himself as unwilling to give up it's possible he will still attempt to woo Ling Qi regardless)

2 weeks? I could've sworn they have a physical body for a few months.
If this is the EPC weekly autos then it should be 15 autos, not 10.
Sixiang is around until the end of the year.
