• After Angel Yan left, Leina said she was going to collect the Super Soldier Company members but contacted Mao Shen first to ask about Wang Lei.
• Wang Lei entered the underground combat command room and met Du Kao, Lianfeng, Yu Qin, Jess, and Huang Lao.
• Wang Lei told the group he was an Interstellar Merchant from beyond the known universe who could obtain miraculous items and call on friends from other universes.
• Wang Lei offered an energy battery as an example of the goods he could trade, and Lianfeng took it away for testing.
• Wang Lei accused Du Kao of bringing the De Nuo Remnants to Earth to recreate their civilization and said Du Kao still did not consider Earth his home.
• Du Kao admitted the De Nuo Remnants had once planned to make Earth their second homeworld but insisted that he now loved Earth and would die for it.

Wang Lei argued that Deno had led Earth astray by prioritizing genetic research over foundational technology, prompting Du Kao to admit his judgment was mistaken. Wang Lei refused to take over the Super Soldier Company but gave Huang Lao instructions for producing a room-temperature superconductor to help Hua Xia advance.

• Wang Lei explained the universe's civilization tiers and argued that Deno's advanced genetic technology was beyond Earth's capabilities and had diverted resources from basic technological development.
• Lianfeng reported that Wang Lei's Energy Battery could power a First Generation Super Soldier for over five hours, and Wang Lei challenged Deno's focus on genetic research.
• Wang Lei accused Deno of neglecting Earth's potential and suggested its choices had left Hua Xia vulnerable to the Taotie; Du Kao admitted his judgment was mistaken and offered to surrender his post and the Super Soldier Company to Wang Lei.
• Wang Lei refused to train the Super Soldier Company, though he offered to protect Qi Lin and Mengmeng, while Huang Lao stressed that Earth still needed to strengthen itself.
• Wang Lei gave Huang Lao a document with the formula and manufacturing process for an easily produced Room-Temperature Superconducting Material, which could help Hua Xia develop Controlled Nuclear Fusion, Electromagnetic Weapons, and Near-Earth spacecraft.

Wang Lei won Huang Lao's trust with the information on his USB drive, while refusing an official post and offering limited help to the Super Soldier Company. Angel Yan then reported Wang Lei's power and proposed trade to Queen Keisha, who ordered Yan to return with the God's Eye and teased her about her interest in Wang Lei.

• Huang Lao sent Wang Lei's USB drive to the National Academy of Sciences, while Du Kao remained committed to helping Earth face the Taotie.
• Wang Lei refused to teach the Super Soldier Company for now but agreed that Qi Lin and Mengmeng could return to it, and he declined Huang Lao's offer of a military post.

• Queen Keisha learned that Wang Lei had criticized the Justice Order and asked Yan whether she preferred him to Ge Xiaolun.
• Yan and Angel Chase judged Wang Lei far more responsible and capable than Ge Xiaolun, and Queen Keisha ordered Yan to return and demonstrate the God's Eye.

After a quiet stretch, Liangbing unexpectedly entered Wang Lei’s restaurant while exploring Earth, and her subordinate A Tuo rushed in to protect her. Wang Lei restrained A Tuo and served them Soda Bean Juice, leaving A Tuo to drink both glasses to spare Liangbing.

• Wang Lei received a gun permit, an experimental electromagnetic pistol, and a letter of thanks after the government verified his superconducting material.
• Liangbing arrived at Wang Lei’s restaurant after disappointing visits to the president of the Beautiful Country and a Middle Eastern warlord, then berated A Tai for recommending the place.
• A Tuo teleported into the restaurant, broke a ceiling light, and pointed his greatsword at Wang Lei, who blocked further teleportation and confiscated the weapon.
• Wang Lei warned Liangbing and A Tuo not to cause trouble, then used quantum teleportation to seat A Tuo beside Liangbing and prevented him from standing.
• Wang Lei served them Soda Bean Juice, and A Tuo drank both glasses when he thought Liangbing might have to drink one.

• Wang Lei gave Liangbing GouGou Juice and A Tuo watermelon juice, then rejected Liangbing’s offer to join the Demons and mocked her reliance on Carl for funding.
• Liangbing offered Wang Lei control of Earth and the Chiwu Star System if he joined the Demons, but Wang Lei served The Only Truth instead.
• A Tuo ate The Only Truth and admitted the Demons had gone hungry for years, prompting Liangbing to question whether she had led them astray before she realized Wang Lei had used a special effect.
• Wang Lei warned Liangbing that he would kill Demons if she harmed people in Hua Xia, and Liangbing chose not to risk fighting him while she pursued her plan against Divine Keisha.
• Liangbing left, and Wang Lei let A Tuo contact Demon One to pay the bill while secretly recording the interface data and taking A Tuo’s Dark Iron Greatsword.

Wang Lei monitored Liangbing as she spent a day among ordinary people, intervening to keep her victims alive. Realizing he needed much greater strength to face her after Divine Keisha fell, he decided to travel to the Star Rail World to seek weapons and resources.

• Wang Lei tracked Liangbing through Hua Xia as she visited a massage parlor and clothing store, played mahjong, and encountered a scammer whom A Tuo delivered to her.
• Liangbing had A Tuo strip the scammer and leave him in an alley, so Wang Lei teleported him to a police station, where he confessed to his crimes.
• Liangbing became enraged by human definitions of demons in a library and used Dark Energy to throw an onlooker to the ground, but she did not kill him before escaping through a Micro Wormhole.
• Wang Lei concluded that his threat had deterred Liangbing from killing people and that he needed to grow strong enough to face her at her peak.
• Wang Lei considered obtaining weapons and planetary defenses in the Star Rail World through Asta and the Interstellar Peace Corporation, then selected the system option to travel there.

Wang Lei’s arrival in Honkai Star Rail was delayed by a terrifying encounter with five Aeons, but he eventually reached Herta Space Station and followed Kafka and Silver Wolf’s route to the Stellaron Repository.

• Dan Heng offered to lead the group to meet Station Master Asta and Himeko.

Wang Lei reached the Main Control Cabin with Dan Heng and the others, met Himeko, and joined their reunion with Asta. After Asta sent Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng away, she and Himeko questioned Wang Lei about his mysterious arrival, and he offered to answer what he could.

• Wang Lei followed Dan Heng to the Main Control Cabin and calculated that the Voidrangers he had defeated earned him 6,600 Energy Points.

• Asta and Himeko scrutinized Wang Lei, who invited them to ask him questions and promised to be direct about what he could answer.

Wang Lei explained his Stellaron-powered Gap to Himeko and Asta, demonstrated his ability to control Rift Realm Creatures, and revealed that Stelle also carried a Stellaron. After gaining their trust, he and the others faced a new crisis as a huge winged creature attacked Herta Space Station.

• Wang Lei explained that his Stellaron let him use the Gap to teleport through a special Rift Realm, then demonstrated the ability to Himeko and Asta.
• Wang Lei summoned and controlled a Frostspawn, alarming Asta, then killed it and gave its Rift Realm Core to Himeko and Asta.

• A highest-level red warning appeared, and Asta saw a gigantic winged creature tearing through Herta Space Station's Crystal Shield.

With the Doomsday Beast breaching Herta Space Station’s shield, Wang Lei stayed behind while Himeko led Xing and the others toward evacuation. Wang Lei lured the Antimatter Legion together and used a controlled fusion blast aimed at the Doomsday Beast, leaving its fate unclear.

• Wang Lei slipped outside the station and used a simulated rocket pack to lead the Voidrangers around until they surrounded him.
• Wang Lei exchanged tritium from the system, set it to fuse, and enclosed the Antimatter Legion in a spatial barrier shaped to direct the blast at the Doomsday Beast.
• The fusion blast filled the barrier with white light and shot into the Doomsday Beast, swallowing it as it was stuck halfway through the Crystal Shield.

Wang Lei and the Astral Express crew fought the Doomsday Beast after it broke into Herta Space Station and pursued Stelle. Wang Lei formed a party with Stelle, March 7th, and Dan Heng, letting them coordinate their attacks and badly injure the beast as the battle continued.

• Wang Lei's nuclear fusion attack damaged one of the Doomsday Beast's claws but failed to stop it from breaking through the Crystal Shield.

• Wang Lei coordinated with Dan Heng, March 7th, and Stelle to flip the Doomsday Beast over and destroy its Antimatter Core Engine with the Dark Iron Silver Dagger.
• The damaged Doomsday Beast fired a blind antimatter cannon, and March 7th stepped in front of it to protect the space station.

• Wang Lei entered the energy field and knocked Stelle unconscious, ending the Stellaron rampage before it could destroy the space station.
• Wang Lei learned he had earned 1,420,000 Energy Points and considered selling the Doomsday Beast's mostly intact body.
• Welt Yang arrived and estimated the Doomsday Beast could sell for hundreds of millions of Credits; Wang Lei introduced himself and said he came from Earth.

Wang Lei and Welt compared their Earths and discussed the threats facing Wang Lei’s home planet, while Asta advised him on defenses and evacuation. After selling the Doomsday Beast and sharing the Credits with his companions, Wang Lei asked Asta for help obtaining a City Defense System and revealed a blank God's Eye that awakened in Star’s hand.

• Wang Lei explained to Welt that they came from Earths in different parallel worlds, and the two discussed the Honkai world Welt had observed.
• Asta arranged the sale of the Doomsday Beast for one billion Credits, and Wang Lei sent money to Star, March 7th, and Dan Heng.

• Star woke up and offered to help Wang Lei, but he gave her a phone and said he would call on her if needed.
• Wang Lei asked Asta to help him obtain a City Defense System and handed Star a blank God's Eye, which turned cyan and gathered wind in her hand.

After Star awakened an Anemo God's Eye, Herta examined Wang Lei and the new artifacts while Asta bought one and began testing its Hydro powers. Star chose to leave with the Astral Express, while Wang Lei stayed at Herta Space Station to obtain the City Defense System and research antimatter weapons for his coming fight.

• Star experimented with her Anemo God's Eye, and Herta returned to the station and questioned Wang Lei about his Stellaron and elemental artifacts.
• Wang Lei gave Herta three unactivated God's Eyes and paid Asta 500 million to procure the City Defender City Defense System; Asta activated one as a Hydro God's Eye.

• Wang Lei remained at Herta Space Station to await the City Defense System and traded blood samples with Herta for antimatter research reports.
• Welt gave Wang Lei the Pseudo-Star of Eden, which Wang Lei planned to use alongside antimatter weapons against powerful enemies.

After returning from the Star Rail World, Wang Lei reviewed his gains and arranged to install the City Defender City Defense System in Juxia City. The system was mostly deployed, but its Positron Cannon still lacked a suitable power source, and the government kept the preparations secret from Du Kao and the others.

• Wang Lei rejected Topaz's investment agreements but accepted the Interstellar Peace Corporation's Positron Cannon, then used the Serenitea Pot to store the cannon and defense system.
• Wang Lei chose Juxia City over Tianhe City for the defense system and got Huang Lao's approval, but the government could not provide the nuclear-level power needed to activate all its functions.
• Wang Lei worked with Juxia City's government to install energy towers, pipelines, detectors, and defenses in hidden underground military facilities throughout the city.
• Hua Xia planned to place the Positron Cannon on She Mountain and concealed the preparations from Du Kao and the others, while Wang Lei set a server alert to warn him of database attacks.

Wang Lei captured Mao Shen after he demanded that Wang Lei travel to Blazing Sun, then accompanied Sun Wukong to Tiandao Star. After they forced their way past the South Heaven Gate, Wang Lei helped Sun Wukong defeat Xuan Tianji, leaving the pair ready to face Blazing Sun’s leadership.

• Hua Xia strengthened its wartime preparations while Wang Lei studied antimatter and learned that a Blazing Sun energy signature had appeared near his shop.
• Wang Lei confronted Mao Shen, sealed his nuclear energy with Aether Encoding, and tied him up before asking Sun Wukong for Blazing Sun’s coordinates.
• Sun Wukong took Wang Lei and Mao Shen aboard the Somersault Cloud, and they traveled through the Great Bug Bridge to Tiandao Star.
• At the South Heaven Gate, the guards recognized Mao Shen and attacked, so Wang Lei incapacitated them with lightning and entered the gate with Sun Wukong.
• Sun Wukong fought Xuan Tianji on a fragment of Blazing Sun Star, while Wang Lei secretly strengthened Sun Wukong’s weapon and weakened Xuan Tianji’s until Sun Wukong knocked him down.

Wang Lei and Sun Wukong confronted Pan Zhen and Leina over Blazing Sun’s treatment of Earth, and Wang Lei turned Leina’s flare attacks against a dangerous escalation. After Pan Zhen attacked him and triggered the Stellaron’s power, Wang Lei began taking Blazing Sun weapons back to Earth, leaving the dispute unresolved.

• Pan Zhen arrived with his guards and army, and Wang Lei and Sun Wukong challenged him over Leina and Mao Shen’s attempted abduction.
• Pan Zhen claimed Leina had come to help Earth against the Taotie, but Leina returned and argued with Wang Lei and Sun Wukong.
