Chapter Summaries

Yu Xunge learned how the Oak Owl tower worked and heard Snowpile explain how a Fate Coin could be created and used. After returning to Blue Star, she traveled to Midnight City and watched the Blood Elf Taomian receive the Wings of Light before the Oak Owls.

• Snowpile told Yu Xunge that soulbound equipment could enter the tower and described the Fate Coin, which required two children of destiny to defeat each other and then die by her hand.
• Tulan interrupted Yu Xunge’s worries, and Yu Xunge sent Zhao Shuying the tower information; they agreed to enter together and arrange signals.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan returned to Dundun Mountain, where Yu Xunge used Gold Medal Killer to disguise herself amid the hunt for people with Charm 10.
• After hearing that a Blood Elf in Midnight City was ascending the tower, Yu Xunge changed her destination and went there.
• Yu Xunge watched Taomian receive the Wings of Light as the Oak Owls gathered overhead, then witnessed them spread their wings and sing a battle hymn.

Yu Xunge decided to rent Black Jade’s reversal skill, Reversal Moment, to protect herself against Miyasi, and she prepared to spend the gold required. She left Tulan to empty her accounts before approaching Black Jade.

• Yu Xunge left gifts for Hechipa and Little Maki before traveling to As City.
• At Su Yitong’s concert, Zhao Shuying told Yu Xunge that the operation in the tower would begin early on the 13th and that they would join the S City team.
• Yu Xunge learned that Black Jade would not sell Reversal Moment’s skill crystal, then used Mind Catcher to discover that Black Jade possessed 237 gold coins.
• Yu Xunge decided to rent Reversal Moment for over eighty thousand gold coins and reasoned that the rental might last far longer if tower time differed from Black Jade’s time.
• Yu Xunge gave Tulan three hours to spend her money, and Tulan emptied her payment apps and maxed out several cards.

Yu Xunge disguised herself and used more than eighty thousand gold coins to rent Black Jade’s SSS-rank Reversal Moment skill while framing Feng Cang as the recruiter. She escaped the Special Affairs Bureau’s encirclement, leaving Black Jade furious at first but later pleased with the gold, while Yu Xunhuan took the brunt of his anger.

• Yu Xunge disguised herself, traveled to Black Jade’s residence, and used Mind Catcher to offer him more than eighty thousand gold coins in Feng Cang’s name.
• As the Special Affairs Bureau surrounded the estate, Yu Xunge announced that she was renting Black Jade’s reversal skill and gained Reversal Moment.
• Yu Xunge thanked Black Jade on behalf of the Oak Owl Clan and fled through the encirclement, evading the pursuing players.
• Black Jade discovered that Reversal Moment was unusable for more than three hundred days and lashed Yu Xunhuan while cursing the Oak Owls and Feng Cang.
• Black Jade reconsidered the deal after admiring the gold, while Yu Xunhuan endured the beating and the Special Affairs Bureau realized the disguised Oak Owl had been one of their own.
• Yu Xunge’s rental caused her to lose the top spot on the Wealth Rankings, and the Special Affairs Bureau’s agents regretted the gold Black Jade had received.

Yu Xunge realized that the trail of clues leading to Miyasi might be an elaborate trap, and suspected Mind Catcher had been planted at the very beginning to lower her guard. She searched Liang Pozhou’s grave, found hidden Metal Magic Patterns, and sought help identifying them.

• Yu Xunge tested Reversal Moment on Tulan and learned it could swap one attribute at a time only when she was at a disadvantage.
• Yu Xunge examined the Auction House listings for the Giant Whale and Liang Pozhou, then questioned whether the apparent twists and rewards had made her overlook a trap.
• Yu Xunge reasoned that Miyasi might have hidden the trap in the earliest and safest-looking link: Mind Catcher.
• Yu Xunge returned invisibly with Tulan to Liang Pozhou’s grave, searched its outskirts, and found Metal Magic Patterns concealed behind the tombstone’s reliefs.
• Yu Xunge sketched the patterns and posted them anonymously on the game forum, receiving an answer before she got home.

Yu Xunge investigated Liang Yuchuan’s curse and then signed a fifty-year contract with Liang Pozhou, gaining the Liang family as a force under her command. After adding Xu Yunsheng to the contract’s punishments, Yu Xunge revealed her identity and issued Liang Pozhou a list of assignments.

• Yu Xunge watched Liang Yuchuan train and learned from Tulan that the curse could only be permanently removed by killing every blood relative connected to her.
• Yu Xunge released Liang Pozhou and agreed to lend him her hatred and vengeance in exchange for his promised resources and the Liang family’s allegiance.
• Liang Pozhou formed the Mayfly legion with Liang Sha, Liang Jing, and Liang Yuchuan, then secured their consent to Yu Xunge’s strict contract.
• Yu Xunge added Xu Yunsheng to the contract’s punishment list, and Liang Pozhou obtained her blood before the contract was finalized.
• Yu Xunge revealed her true identity and ordered Liang Pozhou to oppose Yu Xunhuan, investigate several people and families, and collect Food God items.

Yu Xunge received Liang Pozhou’s promised inheritance and learned why the Liang Family had chosen to remain human rather than flee to Zelan. After uncovering two World Tombstones among the delivered items, she cautiously examined the Giant Whale’s corpse and found a fish-tailed skeleton inside.

• Liang Pozhou told Yu Xunge where Miyasi’s inheritance was hidden, described his fear of seawater, and explained that the Liang Family had chosen to stay on Blue Star to keep a home among humans.
• Yu Xunge resumed training and work while avoiding Mind Catcher, then received four high-level purple equipment items, 80g of Moon Sand, and two World Tombstones from Liang Pozhou.
• The World Tombstones increased Yu Xunge’s Honor Points and let their bearer enter the World Battlefield’s main battlefield one minute early.
• Yu Xunge investigated Miyasi’s nest but found the rainy-season poisonous mist too dangerous to enter.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan waited for the Giant Whale’s lunchbox to disappear, then Yu Xunge canceled the whale’s shrinking effect and inspected its opened body.
• Yu Xunge saw that the whale contained living-looking water, a white human-bodied fish-tailed skeleton missing its right hand, and many floating materials; the bones resembled Mind Catcher.

Yu Xunge was caught in Miyasi’s elaborate trap inside the Giant Whale, where magic patterns, restraints, and mind-affecting effects prepared her as a core material. With her escape items sealed and Tulan unable to break through, Yu Xunge tried to slow the process and wondered whether Miyasi had planned against Reversal Moment.

• Yu Xunge tested how the Giant Whale absorbed unconscious aliens, then tried to steal from its bones and triggered a trap that sealed Phantom Shift.
• Tulan attacked the current while Yu Xunge escaped its grasp briefly, but Mind Catcher seized her and carried her back inside the Giant Whale.
• Yu Xunge resisted the underwater effects with potions and a rare fruit, but mechanical chains restrained her and carved magic patterns into her limbs.
• Miyasi’s preparations activated the sea monster script, disabled Furious Moon, Soros's Time, and Demon Eye, and pushed Yu Xunge toward the bones.
• Tulan asked Yu Xunge how she could help, and Yu Xunge told her to damage the Giant Whale’s patterns or slow the current with ice spells.
• Yu Xunge drank Daughter Red Wine and wondered whether Miyasi had weakened himself with seawater and planned specifically to guard against Reversal Moment.

Yu Xunge fought Miyasi’s God-Bestowed Talent evolution ritual inside the Giant Whale, using his precautions against Reversal Moment to turn the ritual against him. She left the chapter devouring Miyasi’s Thief God talent while Tulan waited outside.

• Yu Xunge flooded the Giant Whale with Healing Potions, reduced her Luck, and used her skills to weaken herself as she tried to provoke Miyasi into attacking.
• Yu Xunge realized Miyasi had prepared to counter Reversal Moment and was using the Giant Whale to protect his talent-evolution ritual.
• When the ritual began, Yu Xunge used an Escape Gem to free herself, then used Cut-Paste to steal Miyasi’s Mind Catcher hand bone.
• Yu Xunge drove the hand bone into her own eye, making Miyasi’s recall of it count as an attack, and used a hidden Healing Potion to activate Reversal Moment through her Undead Will talent.
• Yu Xunge reversed the positions of the ritual’s hexagram Magic Arrays and received a notification that she was devouring Miyasi’s Thief God talent; she told Tulan to remain outside and wait.

Yu Xunge survived Miyasi’s talent evolution after Tulan froze the Giant Whale with Aurora Curtain, but Miyasi remained alive and too powerful for Yu Xunge to defeat directly. She arranged a contingency plan and prepared a vampire skill meant to drain his health.

• Yu Xunge’s God-Bestowed Talent finished evolving as Tulan froze the Giant Whale’s currents with Aurora Curtain, interrupting Miyasi’s magic array.
• The array dissipated, and a voice announced, “Presumption is the Prelude to Destruction. Ascending to godhood is the beginning of one's fall,” while Yu Xunge’s three locked items returned to normal.
• Yu Xunge escaped the frozen Giant Whale with Miyasi’s potion, but could not shrink the wreckage and realized Miyasi was still alive and likely had a contingency plan.
• Unable to harm Miyasi with their current skills, Yu Xunge sent ten blank skill crystals to Liang Pozhou and received vampire skill crystals that could drain a target’s health.
• Yu Xunge gave Furious Moon to Tulan and instructed her to use Time Walk and alert Zhao Shuying if Yu Xunge signaled that something had gone wrong.

Yu Xunge trapped herself with Miyasi and fought to stop his revival, then embraced her ambition for power and used her new One-Man Party skill to seal all Resurrection Skills for humans and sea demons. The battle remained unresolved as her rule took effect.

• Yu Xunge told Tulan to escape to Dragon Island if she died, then prepared herself to fight Miyasi inside a Lightning Cage.
• Yu Xunge boosted her attributes, used King's Aura, and attacked Miyasi as he revived inside the Giant Whale.
• Miyasi struck at Yu Xunge, but she kept advancing and drove his HP down to 1% before it began recovering.
• Yu Xunge recognized that she had always pursued power and declared that power surpassed everything in the world.
• Yu Xunge used One-Man Party to seal all Resurrection Skills for humans and sea demons.

Yu Xunge used One-Man Party rules to defeat Miyasi, earning five levels and reaching the top of the rankings. After securing the remains and Mind Catcher, she inspected her evolved SS-rank talent.

• Yu Xunge refreshed her skill cooldowns and imposed a rule that made sea demons above level 100 pay 2% HP when using water skills.
• Miyasi’s water axe struck the ground, and the rule’s countdown killed him as his bones crumbled beneath Yu Xunge’s boot.
• Yu Xunge reached level 15, while Tulan gained two levels and reached level 16.
• Yu Xunge asked Tulan to freeze the bloodied water and stored the Mind Catcher in a food container for safekeeping.
• Yu Xunge opened her Character Panel and read the skills of her evolved SS-rank talent, One-Man Party.

After upgrading her God-Bestowed Talent to One-Man Party, Yu Xunge sold the materials left from the ritual to Zhao Shuying and arranged to sell her apartment and level-ten instance to Dinghai. The deal left Yu Xunge with much-needed gold and Zhao Shuying with another valuable asset for the Special Affairs Bureau.

• Yu Xunge assessed One-Man Party’s strengths and limitations, concealed the talent with her pocket watch, and decided to sell the ritual materials and her apartment instance to the Special Affairs Bureau.
• Yu Xunge and Tulan collected the leftover materials, stored the Giant Whale’s seawater, and divided Miyasi’s ashes for disposal.
• Zhao Shuying arrived early, examined Yu Xunge’s three boxes of salvage, and bought their contents for 300 gold after consulting the research department.
• Yu Xunge offered Zhao Shuying her apartment and level-ten instance for 500 blank skill crystals, and Zhao Shuying accepted the price.

Yu Xunge learned that Yi Chang was a panda whose droppings became Skill Crystals, then returned home and weighed her security and combat weaknesses. She decided to test whether her God-Bestowed Talent Refurbish could restore the seawater contaminated by Miyasi’s blood and ashes.

• Zhao Shuying told Yu Xunge that Yi Chang was the legion commander’s mutated panda and that the Skill Crystals came from his droppings; Yu Xunge found him on the Pet Ranking and worried she might have bitten one.
• Yu Xunge returned to her villa, decided to keep the Level 3 dungeon for now, and relaxed with Tulan and the cats.
• Yu Xunge reviewed her battle with Miyasi and considered ways to improve her offense and resist sleep-inducing potions and restraining skills.
• Yu Xunge wondered whether Refurbish could restore the seawater mixed with Miyasi’s blood and ashes, hesitated over the risks, and then decided to try it immediately.
• Yu Xunge told Tulan they would go out for dinner and play mahjong afterward, and Tulan saluted her.

Yu Xunge used Refurbish on discarded items and seawater, discovering a dormant soul fragment inside Mind Catcher and transforming the artifact. She also produced mutated bullets that stole a small amount of health, though many of the magazines and the coffee cup yielded no useful effects.

• Yu Xunge used Refurbish to inspect her junk and found that items with matching colors could be combined more easily.
• Yu Xunge discovered a Damaged Soul Fragment fused to Mind Catcher's pinky nail and submerged it in seawater using electric grids.
• Yu Xunge poured in several barrels of seawater until the soul fragment shattered and Mind Catcher became a Perfect Artifact with an attack that impacted enemies' souls.
• Yu Xunge found that 139 of the 201 magazines had become bullets that randomly stole 3–5 HP from targets and transferred it to the shooter.
• Yu Xunge checked the coffee cup and found that it produced 500 ml of Sea Salt Coffee daily but had no other effects.

After celebrating her talent upgrade, Yu Xunge took Tulan to Zelan to sell equipment, seek a way to counter Phantom Shift’s seals, and find Lucia. Their plans to earn money stalled, and the chapter ended when the level 103 Wolf Fortress accused Yu Xunge of knocking him over.

• Yu Xunge and Tulan celebrated her God-Bestowed Talent Upgrade by playing mahjong all night, then left the parlor arguing about their skills.
• Yu Xunge gave a young fan two Intermediate Healing Potions, and Tulan left a footprint on the fan’s notebook before they turned invisible to avoid a crowd.
• In Zelan, Yu Xunge discovered the Auction House had no market for level 110 equipment, listed an Expert Number skill crystal for 3,000 gold, and learned an Escape Gem would require at least 8,000 gold while an uncountered teleportation skill started at 100,000 gold.
• Yu Xunge visited Midnight City and Daybreak City to look for Lucia, bought information from Little Oak Owl, and spent 200 gold replenishing herbs.
• An elderly Wind Scythe fell in front of Yu Xunge and Tulan, then accused Yu Xunge of running into him; Yu Xunge recognized him as the level 103 Wolf Fortress.

Yu Xunge stole 2,497 gold from the fraudulent Wolf Fortress, then visited Lucia to learn how to brew Gold Medal Killer. After buying toys for Tulan, Hechipa, and Little Maki, she accidentally gave Hechipa a clock that told a joke about her and had to appease her with extra Moon Sand.

• Yu Xunge handed Wolf Fortress all her coins, then used I Want to Improve So Badly to steal 2,497 gold from him.
• Yu Xunge visited Lucia with Moon Sand, and Lucia taught her how to brew Gold Medal Killer.
• Yu Xunge bought Tulan over 1,300 gold worth of toys and also picked gifts for Hechipa and Little Maki.
• Yu Xunge gave Hechipa a clock that told a Minotaur joke about Hechipa, then smashed it after it began playing.
• Yu Xunge gave Hechipa 10 grams of Moon Sand, and Hechipa lowered the hand she had raised to strike her.

Yu Xunge learned that the three Owl Emperors would be absent on the fifteenth and passed the information to Zhao Shuying, prompting the tower mission to be moved to December 12th. She finished brewing Melt Time and met the S City team assembling for the tower climb.

• Hechipa gave Yu Xunge two more notebooks for her lessons, and Yu Xunge later used Melt Time and changed her identity before traveling to Midnight City.
• Yu Xunge stole a guard’s secret that the three Owl Emperors would be absent on the fifteenth and sent the information to Zhao Shuying, who confirmed it and moved the mission to December 12th.
• Yu Xunge studied Melt Time and successfully brewed her first bottle on the fourteenth while Tulan continued visiting the mahjong parlor and bringing home gifts and vegetables.
• Yu Xunge brought Tulan to the Special Affairs Bureau to prepare backup communication plans for the tower mission.
• Yu Xunge arrived at the meeting and learned that Su Yitong and Liang Yuchuan had joined the team alongside Gao Li and Yu Yu'an.

Yu Xunge attended Dinghai’s meeting to prepare for the tower mission, where the team discussed equipment, survival plans, and skills to request. The meeting ended with Zhao Shuying rejecting two of Yu Xunge’s skill choices as too powerful to exist at B-rank.

• Tulan teased Yu Xunge about her changed behavior while the team gathered, and Yu Xunge watched Su Yitong bond with her koala, Green Wine.
• Yu Xunge petted Green Wine and reflected that Su Yitong might have treated Tulan better than Tulan’s previous owner had.
• Zhao Shuying explained the tower mission’s equipment preparations, safe zone, retreat policy, and the plan to keep searching for ways to unlock the Instance Barrier.
• Yu Xunge memorized the Special Affairs Bureau’s codes and requested escape, barrier, and percentage-based damage skills.
• Zhao Shuying returned Yu Xunge’s list and told her to replace her escape and offensive skill requests because no B-rank Skills were that powerful.

Yu Xunge received three skills from Zhao Shuying and set out to test whether she could steal Yu Xunhuan’s luck. After abducting him and changing his Luck Value to 1, she used One-Man Party to impose a rule that would make his luck the first thing stolen by theft-type skills.

• Zhao Shuying gave Yu Xunge three skills, which Yu Xunge learned before mailing her Moon Sand as a research sale.
• Yu Xunge considered her reasons for sparing the Liang Family and wondered whether Yu Xunhuan’s luck could be stolen while his own Luck Value was low.
• Yu Xunge spotted Su Yitong leaving Yu Xunhuan’s villa, knocked Yu Xunhuan unconscious, and took him away with Black Jade’s permission.
• Yu Xunge carried Yu Xunhuan into an underwater dungeon, changed his Luck Value to 1, and put him to sleep.
• Yu Xunge used One-Man Party to make Yu Xunhuan’s luck the first priority for theft-type skills, then prepared to test whether she could steal it.

Yu Xunge drained Yu Xunhuan’s Luck and left him badly injured before handing him back to Hei Fei, who upgraded him into a Snake Servant. Afterward, Lucia praised Yu Xunge’s Melt Time potion and gave her an Advanced Potion formula, while Hechipa dubbed her “Little Hechipa.”

• Yu Xunge used I Want to Improve So Badly to reduce Yu Xunhuan’s Luck from 10 to 1, repeatedly dismantled his equipment, and injured him until his HP fell to 200.
• Yu Xunge returned Yu Xunhuan to Hei Fei, refused to pay when Hei Fei complained about his condition, and flew away as Hei Fei chased her.
• Dinghai considered using Hei Fei to locate underwater Instance Barriers and potentially offering him Dragon Blood from Zelan to encourage his cooperation.
• Hei Fei upgraded Yu Xunhuan from a lowest-rank Snake Servant to a third-rank Snake Servant and anticipated his eventual transformation into a black snake.
• Yu Xunge visited Lucia’s lesson in Daybreak City and showed her the Melt Time she had brewed; Lucia praised her and gave her an Advanced Potion formula.
• Yu Xunge showed her finished potion to Hechipa in Gloom City, and Hechipa called her Little Hechipa.
