Wang Mumu's life had been extended by one day, but the curse remained unresolved, and Old Hu reacted sharply to a secret Xiao Luo whispered to him.

Meanwhile, Nan Feng and Xiao Luo headed toward White Water City, and Nan Feng grew suspicious of Xiao Luo's account of Old Hu's death.

• The Emperor reviewed reports of Chosen Ones capturing cities across several empires and concluded that war between them and the natives was inevitable.

• Prince Zhennan Nan Feng spared White Water City's officials after learning that no level 40 experts remained in the city.
• Nan Feng left the City Lord's Mansion and headed to the ruined Hu Teahouse to meet Xiao Luo, the Corrupted Version, but Xiao Luo had not arrived.
• Nan Feng found a metal coffin buried in the tea garden containing a corpse that looked exactly like Old Hu and noticed a fresh cut on its neck.
• Nan Feng realized the rotten smell came from elsewhere and uprooted tea trees, uncovering several decaying corpses buried beneath them.
• Nan Feng concluded that Old Hu had used human flesh to grow the tea.

Nan Feng burned the Emperor’s Imperial Edict and led South City’s forces to conquer White Water City, but Xiao Luo discovered his Corrupted Version had secretly opened the coffin and killed the corpse inside. The chapter ended with Xiao Luo cutting the clone in two as it promised to reveal why it had done so if released again.

• Nan Feng confronted Xiao Luo’s Corrupted Version about the coffin in the tea garden, and the clone pretended not to know about it.

• Huang Yuanming shouted for the City Defense Force soldiers barricaded in an alley to surrender, but they refused to believe Prince Zhennan was dead or that surrender would spare them.
• Huang Yuanming sent Shen Pan to fetch surrendering soldiers from Yingjiang City and went to find Prince Zhennan's corpse as proof, while Shen Pan contacted Yun Fei for help.
• Xiao Luo watched over the alley and absorbed two light orbs, upgrading his Destined Divine Weapon, the Seven Stars Thunder.
• Nan Feng upgraded his Destined Divine Weapon, the Transcendent Armory, to A-Rank Superior and unlocked the Tactical Bomber, Ice Beam Cannon, and Sunlight Beam Cannon.
• Nan Feng stared at the new equipment and wondered whether it meant he was expected to destroy the world.

Nan Feng tested the Ice Beam Cannon, discovered that the Sunlight Beam Cannon needed a long solar charge, and flew off to hunt beasts. Three days later, White Water City had joined Nan City, and Su Ziran outlined plans for the expanded territory before asking Xiao Luo what kind of shop he would open.

• Su Ziran proposed building roads, expanding farming, and opening shops, then asked Xiao Luo what kind of shop he would open.

Su Ziran ended an unproductive meeting while Nan Feng hunted in the Ancient Forest and learned Dragon City researchers had made biogas for upgrading his Wooden Cabin. Nan Feng decided to accept the biogas so he could get a water heater and take a hot shower.

• Xiao Luo, Calm Version, and the others proposed unserious shop ideas, so Su Ziran ended the meeting and returned to planning South City's development.

• Nan Feng recalled encountering a fire phoenix and fighting a level 44 Lizardman, which poisoned his back before fleeing deeper into the forest.

• Nan Feng agreed to accept biogas after Long Wudi explained the upgrade would add a water heater.

Nan Feng accepted pure biogas from Long Wudi and returned from the Ancient Forest to South City to upgrade his cabin. He discovered that his new B-class cabin could heal him rapidly and could be moved as a portable refuge, then noticed the bright red egg in its corner.

• Long Wudi gave Nan Feng one of Dragon City's ten bottles of purified biogas, and Nan Feng decided to return to South City rather than risk searching deeper for the Lizardman.
• Nan Feng teleported into South City and overheard two engineering guys debating energy conservation and planning to build a ship.
• Nan Feng upgraded his cabin to B-class, transforming its interior into a spacious, modern home with appliances.
• After showering, Nan Feng found that the cabin's healing ability had restored most of his wounds and expelled the toxins from his body.
• Nan Feng realized he could move the cabin with Demolition and use its million Health Points as protection, then spotted the bright red egg in the corner.

• Nan Feng offered the S-Rank Pet Egg to Xiao Luo and You Ran, but both declined.
• Nan Feng offered the egg to the Handsome Men Group, and Su Ziran eventually bought it for 980 copper coins.
• Nan Feng brought the egg to Su Ziran in Black Crow City, where Su Ziran spent over an hour completing the pet-contracting process.
• Wu Yuansheng, Xu Ming, Shen Pan, and Xiao Luo gathered to watch as the egg cracked open and a fingernail-sized red crab emerged.

Nan Feng traveled to Black Water City to help Long Wudi fend off experts from the Imperial City, but Qian You intercepted him on the way and challenged him to a sniper duel. Nan Feng warned Qian You that he was outmatched, while their standoff continued.

• Wu Yuansheng asked for help hunting beasts above level 40, and Xiao Luo agreed to watch over him while Nan Feng headed to Black Water City.
• Nan Feng learned that five level 44 experts had arrived from the Imperial City and flew toward Black Water City alone.

• Qian You and Nan Feng traded attacks with a magic bow and laser cannon, intercepting each other's shots.
• Qian You declared a fight to the death in a mid-lane sniper duel, and Nan Feng warned him that he was no match.

Nan Feng tested the Sunlight Beam Cannon against Qian You, forcing Qian You and an old man to flee before the cannon’s energy ran out. He then arrived at Black Water City, where Flying Eagle explained that the city was preparing for war against the Imperial City.

• Qian You fired a golden arrow at Nan Feng, who answered with the Sunlight Beam Cannon and pierced through the arrow and the mountain beneath Qian You.
