33 Box Research Laboratory (箱中研究室) is the Season 1 hub zone for Roco Kingdom: World. It is the seasonal home base overseen by Lu Meng, the evil-type researcher investigating the seasonal legendary spirit Dragon Breath Parasus. The laboratory serves two main gameplay functions: passive Starlight Value generation while the character is parked inside, and a commission board that drives seasonal progression.

2425 When the 1.01 version launches in late May 2026, the Box Research Laboratory's S1 content rotates out. The hub zone itself remains accessible as a historical area, but its commission board and Starlight Value vendor are replaced by the new season's equivalents. Capture Light Balls already in inventory remain usable.
