Chapter Summaries

Wang Lei recalled how he had used his system, a fused Stellaron, and foreknowledge to build a restaurant and get close to Qi Lin before the coming alien invasion. As Qi Lin waited downstairs, his system was nearly fully charged, bringing his first journey within reach.

• Rui Mengmeng told Wang Lei that Qi Lin had arrived and wanted dishes from the restaurant’s previous menu.
• Wang Lei remembered discovering his system after transmigrating to Juxia City, receiving a Stellaron from its beginner gift, and spending years charging the system.

• Wang Lei hired Rui Mengmeng and became acquainted with Qi Lin after she mistakenly arrested him while trying to protect Rui Mengmeng.
• Wang Lei saw that the system laptop had reached 99% charge as he prepared to go downstairs.

Wang Lei prepared to intervene in the coming Taotie attack at Feiliu District Airport, where Qi Lin would be wounded and her Super Gene discovered. After closing his restaurant early, he equipped an invisible Interstellar Peace Corporation exoskeleton and set out unseen.

• Wang Lei went downstairs to make Qi Lin laugh before cooking lunch at the restaurant.
• Qi Lin told Wang Lei that Liu Chuang had caused trouble again by fighting a college student and damaging residents’ air-conditioning units.
• Wang Lei recognized that Qi Lin’s late shift meant the Feiliu District Airport attack was about to begin, and he planned to test his newly acquired armor against the Taotie.
• Wang Lei closed the restaurant early after Qi Lin left and activated his black exoskeleton armor with the password “MHY.”
• Wang Lei switched on the armor’s invisibility system, opened his window, and vanished from the room.

Wang Lei reached Feiliu District Airport and fought Taotie's advance soldier, a living mech, while saving Qi Lin from its attack. He killed the mech and fled invisibly before the military could surround him.

After defeating a Taotie scout, Wang Lei planned to travel to other worlds to gather Energy Points, but Angel Yan arrived at his shop with a membership card and confronted him about his hidden abilities. She revealed that the angels had tracked him by locating his armor, leaving Wang Lei exposed as the person behind the previous night’s battle.

• Angel Yan explained that the angels had found him by tracking his armor and realized he was the armored fighter from the previous night.

Angel Yan discovered that Wang Lei’s food could temporarily increase combat power and reported him to Queen Keisha, who ordered the angels to investigate cautiously. Meanwhile, Wang Lei worried about attracting the attention of powerful civilizations and chose the relatively safer Genshin World for his first journey.

• Angel Yan shared the Emerald Assorted Bag with Angel Chase, and the food’s attack boost sent Yan flying during their playful scuffle.
• Angel Yan tested the food’s temporary enhancement and decided Wang Lei’s support abilities were dangerous enough to report to Queen Keisha.
• Angel Yan told Queen Keisha about Wang Lei, his unusual technology, and his combat-boosting food.
• Queen Keisha ordered the angels to undergo examinations, bring back Energy Batteries and Dark Dimension Basic Gene Engines, and observe Wang Lei without frequent contact.
• Wang Lei worried that powerful civilizations might discover his ability to travel between worlds and resolved to gather Energy Points.
• Wang Lei chose to make his first journey to Genshin World rather than Honkai Star Rail because his body was too weak for the greater danger.

Wang Lei arrived in Inazuma, narrowly escaped Raiden Ei’s mental space, and discovered that the radiation around Kannazuka could charge his system. He camped beside a radioactive river, planning to harvest its energy overnight.

• Wang Lei selected a Statue of The Seven in Inazuma and arrived on a stormy cliff in Kannazuka.
• Wang Lei touched the statue and was pulled into Raiden Ei’s mental space, but the Stellaron in his body broke her restraint and returned him to his body.
• Wang Lei found that Inazuma’s lightning disrupted his compass and that radiation in the area could harm him, though it could also charge his system.
• Wang Lei followed his radiation detector to a purple, electrified river and tossed a phone into it, raising his system’s energy from zero to one percent in under five minutes.
• Wang Lei set up camp beside the river so he could keep absorbing its energy overnight.

Wang Lei fought off Kairagi and Nobushi near the polluted river, then persuaded Tenryou Commission soldiers that he was authorized to help with the Mikage Furnace. Impressed by the clearer water, the soldiers decided to take him to Kujou Sara at Kujou Encampment.

• Wang Lei found Kairagi and three Nobushi inspecting the river, so he equipped his Exoskeleton and defended his camp.
• Wang Lei killed two Nobushi and the Kairagi, while another Nobushi sank into the polluted river.
• Wang Lei checked the Energy Points he gained from the defeated enemies and wondered why drowning did not count as a kill.
• Five Tenryou Commission soldiers arrived, and Wang Lei explained that he was a Liyue Traveler working to resolve the Mikage Furnace issue.
• Wang Lei exchanged one Energy Point for a travel permit and showed the soldiers the purified river water.
• The Tenryou Commission soldiers accepted Wang Lei's permit and offered to take him to meet Kujou Sara at Kujou Encampment.

Wang Lei met Kujou Sara and secured her support for his experiments to resolve the Mikage Furnace’s pollution. He immediately set out with five Tenryou Commission soldiers to investigate more dangerous areas of Kannazuka.

• Wang Lei and five Tenryou Commission soldiers retrieved his phone from the polluted river, and the water downstream turned purple again.
• The soldiers escorted Wang Lei to Kujou Encampment, where Kujou Sara summoned him to discuss his experiment and its preliminary results.
• Wang Lei told Kujou Sara that he had purified Remnants of the Demon God from a river and asked for local guides and protection instead of funding.
• Kujou Sara assigned Yang Jie, Shi Chuan, Song Ping, Xiao Ye, and Uesugi to accompany Wang Lei and promised reasonable support for his research.
• Wang Lei immediately led the five soldiers out to search for places with higher Mikage Furnace energy density.

Wang Lei helped Kujou Sara clear Tatarasuna and suppress the Mikage Furnace’s energy leak, raising his system’s Energy Points above 50,000. Just as he prepared to finish harvesting the remaining energy and leave, Kujou Family soldiers arrived to arrest him as a wanted criminal.

• Wang Lei stayed in Kannazuka to harvest energy and helped A Xing clear the Thunder Sakura Trees’ Ley Line Congestion.

• Wang Lei led his sick teammates back to Kujou Encampment and asked for reinforcements to deal with the Kairagi and reach the Mikage Furnace.
• Kujou Sara disbanded Wang Lei’s team, swept through Tatarasuna with troops, and shot his Purification Core onto a rock wall beside the Mikage Furnace.
• Wang Lei’s Energy Points passed 50,000 as Tatarasuna’s lower levels became habitable, and he prepared to place the Purification Core inside the Mikage Furnace.
• Kujou Family soldiers arrived with Wang Lei’s portrait and declared him a wanted criminal, leaving him baffled.

Wang Lei was taken to Tenshukaku to answer the Raiden Shogun’s accusation that he had trespassed into her meditation place. Just as she prepared to kill him for being an exception to eternity, Yae Miko intervened and said his connection to the Shogun’s consciousness was normal.

• Yae Miko appeared behind Wang Lei and told the Raiden Shogun that his connection to her consciousness was perfectly normal.

• Yae Miko arrived and stopped the Raiden Shogun from killing Wang Lei.
• Yae Miko told the Raiden Shogun that Wang Lei might be descended from Liyuean Sacrificers who could contact gods through rituals.
• Wang Lei denied knowing of any Sacrificer inheritance and explained that his family passed down cooking while forbidding descendants from selling their food.
• Yae Miko argued that Wang Lei's family cooking tradition supported her theory and proposed testing him with the Gnosis.
• Kujou Sara objected to using the Gnosis on an outsider, but the Raiden Shogun said she had given it to Yae Miko and ordered Wang Lei to take hold of it.

Wang Lei grasped the Gnosis, received visions of Inazuma's prayers, and awakened a fraction of a Stellaron's power that let him manipulate space. After meeting Raiden Ei and gaining permission to cook for her, he returned to Yae Miko and invited her to join the offering meal.

• Yae Miko gave Wang Lei the Gnosis to hold, while Kujou Sara warned him with a fierce glare not to drop it.

After returning from Teyvat, Wang Lei discovered that his relationships there had unlocked discounted Temporary Summons. He spent Energy Points to acquire Punklorde’s Aether Editing Technique as a tool for developing Gene Engine technology, but the knowledge injection overwhelmed him and he passed out.

• Wang Lei returned to his room and found that less than ten minutes had passed in the Super God Universe.
• Wang Lei read system notifications showing that several Teyvat characters had unlocked Temporary Summons at reduced costs based on their feelings toward him.

• Wang Lei chose the technique to help him bluff with Angel Yan and eventually build upon the Angels’ Gene Engine architecture.
• Wang Lei exchanged for Aether Editing Technique, and the sudden knowledge injection caused him to pass out.

After waking in the hospital, Wang Lei discovered that the Aether Editing Technique let him see people’s attributes and make limited changes to objects. He left the hospital with Qi Lin and Rui Mengmeng after learning Qi Lin might join a confidential team, and promised to support her decision.

• Wang Lei spent more than a week learning to use Aether Encoding and discovered he could enlarge or transport objects by editing their data.

After rescuing Soton, Wang Lei returned to his shop, where Angel Yan and Angel Chase visited to deliver a basic Dark Dimension Gene Engine and a wormhole detector. He revealed his ability to quantize and reproduce physical objects, leaving the angels curious about his secrets and his accidental, highly detailed miniatures of them.

• Wang Lei collected a piece of Soton's scorched armor, returned to his shop, and met Angel Yan and Angel Chase.

• Angel Yan questioned Wang Lei about his power and ambitions, and he asked the angels for a small device to detect spacetime fluctuations.
• Angel Chase transmitted instructions to Wang Lei and mistook his copied data interface for proof that he was an angel and a Heaven Dreg, but Angel Yan helped clear up the misunderstanding.
• Wang Lei explained that he could quantize and reconstruct physical objects, then created lifelike miniatures of Angel Yan and Angel Chase whose detailed proportions embarrassed him.
