• Merli suggested Chen Luo recruit Assassin by turning her clones into puppets, and Chen Luo agreed that Hassan of the Hundred Faces was a valuable target for evolution.

• Chen Luo and Assassin located more clones around the city, including two watching the inn where Waver and Iskandar were staying; Chen Luo bound himself with the Chains of Heaven and considered whether it could sense Iskandar’s divinity.

• Chen Luo revealed that he had taken Kayneth's Command Spells and demanded Moon Cell Liquid in exchange for the Book of Fae, offering to erase Sola's memories of Diarmuid as part of the deal.

• Chen Luo considered the risks of fusing silver and golden Talent versions into original Talents, including possible Talent collapse or loss of abilities.

Yakumo Yukari suggested ways Chen Luo could profit from the bar by strengthening guests’ talents, while urging him not to sacrifice its welcoming atmosphere. In the Previous Era, Chen Luo sent Assassins to scout Fire Moth, then raced through its halls in Vill-V’s powered wheelchair until Hua stopped him.

• Yakumo Yukari proposed that Chen Luo trade talent enhancements for work points, favors, skills, or talents, and pointed out that he had wasted Diarmuid’s abilities by killing him without taking them first.

• Chen Luo reset Dan Zhu’s fracture, and Dan Zhu apologized while he predicted she would keep prying.

Chen Luo discussed his Honkai Sickness vaccine and a plan to spread liquid Puppet Marks through water sources with Mobius, who warned him to separate the vaccine from his mass-puppeting scheme. He sent an Assassin to seed Fire Moth’s water supply and planned to target Dusk Street next, while Mobius suggested stealing more Gnoses to replenish Faith Power.

• Mobius punished Dan Zhu by ordering her to copy something one hundred times, while Chen Luo declined to help because Mobius was watching him.
• Chen Luo told Mobius that he had found a way to make a basic Honkai Sickness vaccine, and she warned him that powerful groups would seek control of it and that using his own blood was wasteful.
• Chen Luo explained how Faith Power and River God Power could enhance liquid Puppet Marks and spread them through water; Mobius advised him to keep that plan separate from developing the vaccine and to begin in a high-mortality area.

• Chen Luo repaired the dent in the lounge wall with time reversal and left, then gave Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu a vague explanation for his bloody lips.

Chen Luo discovered that Fu Hua and Hua could share sensations when they were close, while he continued using his wheelchair in the bar. The next scene opened with Pardo entering the bar and finding a moon hanging overhead.

• Hua pushed Chen Luo home and refused to keep his wheelchair fully charged inside Fire Moth so he would not race it around.

• Elysia arrived with Griseo, and Chen Luo teased Elysia before noticing that Griseo had adopted some of Elysia’s playful mannerisms.

Chen Luo reunited with Vill-V, had her assess his wheelchair, and teased Aili while Griseo began painting him. The bar’s door then opened to reveal a gravely wounded Accelerator beside Last Order, leaving Chen Luo facing the armed doctor who had shot him.

• Aili brought Vill-V to meet Chen Luo, and Vill-V explained how his wheelchair had once helped Kevin lose Mei’s entire two-person lunch.
• Chen Luo asked Vill-V to advise him on improving the wheelchair prototype, while she considered how to guide her past self’s modifications.
• Chen Luo tricked Aili into letting him knead her face, then Griseo chose him as her painting model and began preparing to paint a Primogem in his colors.
• The bar’s door opened to reveal Accelerator covered in blood, and Chen Luo recognized Last Order in a wrecked vehicle nearby.
• Chen Luo realized Accelerator had been shot in the head on August 31, and a doctor pointed a gun at him after seeing the bar door appear.

Chen Luo saved Accelerator after Tenjo Yasuo shot him, while Yoshikawa Kikyo confronted Tenjo over his attack on Last Order. As Accelerator asked Chen Luo to intervene, a new commission called for Tenjo to die, Yoshikawa to survive, Last Order to recover, and Accelerator to be fully healed.

• Chen Luo stopped time and killed Tenjo Yasuo, completing his mission while Accelerator checked on Last Order.
• Chen Luo offered Accelerator an Esper Crystal that could advance him to LV6, and Accelerator eventually accepted it after Chen Luo appealed to his desire to protect others.
• Chen Luo used Break Cocoon into Butterfly to improve Last Order's immunity and told Accelerator she still needed hospital care.
• Chen Luo noticed Othinus watching from a streetlamp and urged Accelerator, Yoshikawa Kikyo, and Last Order to leave.
• Raven called Chen Luo back to the bar, and he invited Othinus inside to talk while Griseo drew nearby.

Othinus sought a true God's Spear to control her Magic God power, but Chen Luo's enhanced golden Gungnir only lasted briefly. Tempted by her commission, Chen Luo considered helping her and proposed a contract to prevent her from destroying the world.

• Othinus rejected Chen Luo's two existing God's Spears as too weak to meet her needs.
• Chen Luo retrieved an enhanced golden Gungnir from his river, and Othinus briefly tested it before it vanished.

• Chen Luo received a high-reward commission to give Othinus a lasting God's Spear, but rejected her promise not to destroy the world as untrustworthy.
• Chen Luo proposed signing a contract to stop Othinus from destroying the world.

Chen Luo negotiated a contract with Othinus that would let her obtain God's Spear while preventing her from destroying the world unless she beat him at hide-and-seek. After the contract was signed at a steep cost to Othinus, Chen Luo asked Patchouli to call Remi so he could work on a spear that would satisfy her.

• Othinus noticed the Book of Contracts could bind her and refused to sign, while Chen Luo admitted he had planned to trick her into it.
• Chen Luo proposed making the right to destroy the world depend on a game, but Othinus rejected his chess challenge after suspecting he could guarantee victory.
• Chen Luo and Othinus bargained over hide-and-seek, agreeing that Othinus would hide and Chen Luo would search for her, with one day as the time limit.
• Chen Luo added terms requiring Othinus to help him when he won, provide energy, and visit the bar; they also agreed that losing could lead to another game and require Othinus to restore the world if she destroyed it.
• Chen Luo called Yakumo Yukari and Patchouli to witness the contract, which Othinus signed by paying the power of a Magic God.
• Othinus said she was dissatisfied with the golden phantom spear, so Chen Luo asked Patchouli to call Remi.

Chen Luo used Void Archive and Othinus’s Magic God power to create two golden Gungnirs, one for Othinus and one for himself. Othinus accepted her spear and Chen Luo completed the five-star commission, earning 5,000 Primogems and other rewards.

• Remilia lent Chen Luo her Gungnir, and Othinus rejected it as insufficient before approving a golden spear projected from its power.
• Chen Luo explained that Othinus would need to provide Magic God power and Magic Crystals to create a perfect Gungnir, and Othinus filled his storage ring with Magic Crystals.

• Chen Luo received 5,000 Primogems and other rewards when the five-star mission was completed.
