Chapter Summaries

Cheng Tian browsed the player market for a suitable Sabertooth Tiger but hesitated over the weak mounts on offer. He bought a Red Pterosaur Elder's Free Flight Ticket, which could open the Adventurer's Dinosaur New Century dungeon without replacing his Main Dungeon, and went to Demon World Village with Bazett to stock up.

• Cheng Tian searched the market for a Sabertooth Tiger but found the Ark version too weak to comfortably take responsibility for as a Combat Mount.
• Cheng Tian discovered a Red Pterosaur Elder's Free Flight Ticket and learned that it could open Adventurer's Dinosaur New Century without occupying his original Moon Trial Main Dungeon.
• Cheng Tian questioned the seller and recognized him as a player who had helped the Dinosaur Protection Association protect the Red Pterosaur Elder.
• Cheng Tian paid two W for the ticket, set aside his search for a Sabertooth Tiger, and called Bazett to Demon World Village to stock up.

Cheng Tian and his companions cleared Demon Mountain Cave, collected food and hidden items, and defeated the stage’s flying dragon BOSS. Back in the space, he offered Eileen a dragon head material to enhance her mechanical arm in exchange for calling him something nice.

• Cheng Tian entered Demon Mountain Cave with his Juste Belmont magic restored and gathered 199 souls before sending Bazett, the Original Pterosaur, and Ghost Cicada to lure monsters.
• Cheng Tian combined Green Shock Orbs with magic to defeat monster hordes, collecting large quantities of food and feeding his summoned creatures.
• Cheng Tian found a cursed King Statue that transformed whoever touched it into a frog, identified its curse, and stored it safely with Heart Barrier.
• Cheng Tian’s group defeated the flying dragon guarding the cave exit, and the BOSS chest yielded a Blue Excellent-grade Dragon Head Material.
• Eileen visited Cheng Tian, saw the recovery food, and called him “Dad” after he offered her the dragon head for her Dragon Head Mechanical Arm.

Eileen learned that the owner of the Twin Tiger Contract was willing to sell after joining the Peach Garden Oath, and she arranged to negotiate a purchase with Cheng Tian. Cheng Tian suspected the new contract could be used to sacrifice teammates for power, and wondered whether the duck-costumed seller had bought it himself.

• Eileen remembered that her Dragon King Warrior dungeon might offer a Dragon King's Oath contract and considered opening the dungeon early to secure one.
• A Legendary Gold Peach Garden Oath appeared at auction, prompting frantic bidding after players saw its combat boosts for avenging fallen teammates.
• Cheng Tian withdrew from the auction and suspected players could exploit the oath by sacrificing two teammates to empower the survivor.
• Eileen realized the Twin Tiger Contract's owner planned to join the Peach Garden Oath and told Cheng Tian the contract might now be for sale.
• Cheng Tian urged Eileen to ask the owner for a price and buy the Twin Tiger Contract if they could afford it.
• Eileen met the duck-costumed seller, who agreed to make the deal and asked her not to reveal how she had learned about it.

Cheng Tian and Eileen signed the Twin Tiger Contract, which linked them as a team and granted them the Hot-blooded Combination Attack skill. They planned to test the skill and enter the Dino Crisis Dungeon together, but Cheng Tian used the Styx Water as they set off on the Red Pterosaur Elder.

• Cheng Tian explained the Twin Tiger Contract’s cooperative features and asked Eileen for her birthday and blood type.
• Cheng Tian and Eileen signed the contract, gaining a blue-speed mental link and Level 8 compatibility with the Flying Pursuit attack pattern.
• Eileen leaned against Cheng Tian in relief, while Cheng Tian urged her to test their new skill at the Wooden Dummy Training Ground.
• A prompt revealed that winning an International Fighting Competition in a C-rank-or-higher Fighting Entry dungeon as a team would upgrade their contract to the Champion version.
• Cheng Tian and Eileen prepared to enter the Dino Crisis Dungeon together aboard the Red Pterosaur Elder, and Cheng Tian used the Styx Water.

Cheng Tian and Eileen entered the Dinosaur Age dungeon in New York, where the old world had long since disappeared. Cheng Tian discovered that using Styx Water had replaced his previous template with Hammond's Innovation Lab, giving him genetic research abilities that fit the dungeon and could draw out hidden forces.

• Cheng Tian and Eileen appeared at a safe location in New York and watched the Twin Towers and Statue of Liberty collapse in the distance.
• Cheng Tian noticed that his 911 and Enemy of America titles did not make him hostile to a faction in the dungeon.
• Bald Butcher called Cheng Tian and asked whether he was still buying dinosaur remains.
• Cheng Tian checked his history log and learned that Styx Water had made him forget the Longsword Master/Azure Star template and load Hammond's Innovation Lab.
• The system granted Cheng Tian a Portable Laboratory and genetic research skills, while Orangutan Utan's research specialty enhanced those skills and let her use some of them.

Cheng Tian entered the instance with Hammond's Innovation Lab as his template and arranged to buy dinosaur materials from Bald Butcher. The material list included a Hearts-mutated Brontosaurus corpse fragment Cheng Tian needed, leaving him able to choose his purchases.

• Cheng Tian washed away his Azure Star Longsword Master template and reloaded as Hammond's Innovation Lab, a logistical support faction.
• Cheng Tian realized Bald Butcher was Dr. Mediterranean Fesenden's partner and could sell dinosaur remains to his laboratory instead.
• Bald Butcher complained that the Fesenden Institute had lowered its prices as competition among dinosaur hunters grew.
• Cheng Tian offered to pay thirty percent above market price for suitable materials and asked Bald Butcher to provide a list.
• Bald Butcher sent Cheng Tian a list containing several carnivorous dinosaur materials and a Hearts-mutated Brontosaurus corpse fragment.

Cheng Tian bought a large stock of dinosaur remains from the Bald Butcher and used them to fill his Genetic Collection Vault. After reviewing his incubation skill, he wondered whether Pokémon with ancient creature traits could count as ancient creatures, and looked toward Eileen’s Giant Crocodile Pterosaur.

• Cheng Tian projected the Thunder Dragon corpse and saw that the butcher had delivered less than half of its enormous body.
• Cheng Tian bought the butcher’s stock, which included Heart Thunder Dragon material and genetic material from several herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaur species.
• Cheng Tian reviewed his Ancient Creature Incubation skill and learned its limits, costs, and options for controlling or taming incubated creatures.
• Cheng Tian wondered whether Pokémon with ancient creature characteristics qualified as ancient creatures and eyed the Giant Crocodile Pterosaur beneath Eileen.

Cheng Tian brought Eileen to Swamp Jungle, where he found a thriving Dragon Hunter settlement and recognized a modified Cadillac that might have belonged to the protagonist. He deployed Hammond's Innovation Lab on the settlement's outskirts, and the completed building appeared to the locals as though it had always been there.

• Cheng Tian explained his new template's skills to Eileen and realized the Blue Crocodile Pterosaur could provide material for incubation.
• Cheng Tian contacted Bald Butcher and used the Connections Transporter to return to Swamp Jungle.
• Cheng Tian and Eileen arrived at the bustling Dragon Hunter settlement, where Cheng Tian spotted a heavily modified Cadillac and asked Eileen to watch it.
• Cheng Tian chose a flat patch of ground and deployed Hammond's Innovation Lab, which appeared without drawing any reaction from the surrounding NPCs.

Cheng Tian established Hammond's Innovation Lab in the Adventurer's Dinosaur New Century dungeon and put Wutan in charge. When angry brokers and curious Dragon Hunters gathered outside, Cheng Tian and Crimson demonstrated the lab's control over an Apex Predator, and news of Crimson's Deep Bloodline Mutation reached the Fesenden Institute.

• Cheng Tian established Hammond's Innovation Lab beside the Swamp Jungle, alarming brokers who feared it would take over their business.
• Cheng Tian appointed Wutan the institute's highest-ranking person in charge, with authority over everyone except Cheng Tian.
• Brokers' thugs and curious Dragon Hunters gathered at the laboratory entrance, unsure whether to demand the lab outsource its material collection or leave.
• Crimson appeared behind Cheng Tian, roared at the crowd, and showed off her Lava Dragon Claws, causing many Dragon Hunters to collapse in fear.
• News of the lab's Apex Predator Tyrannosaurus Rex with Deep Bloodline Mutation spread through the industry, including to the Fesenden Institute.

Dr. Mediterranean Fesen rejected reports about Hammond Innovation Laboratory and secretly sent people to investigate, while the laboratory’s mechs and dinosaurs demonstrated their power before Dragon Hunters. Cheng Tian drove away hunters hoping to buy the mechs and worried that the reloaded laboratory template could not be settled.

• Dr. Mediterranean Fesen dismissed reports that Hammond Innovation Laboratory had tamed a Tyrannosaurus Rex and built mechs, then sent people to investigate.
• Radar, Gates LB, War Elephant Mammoth, and the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex defeated and devoured dinosaurs attacking the laboratory fence.
• Dragon Hunters watched the mechs fight and carry dinosaur corpses, concluding that Hammond Innovation Laboratory had advanced combat and engineering machines.
• Cheng Tian turned away Dragon Hunters who wanted to buy the mechs and worried that he might not be able to settle the reloaded laboratory template.

Cheng Tian searched for a way to settle his temporary template after the instance’s altered world left it without a main quest or a suitable Final BOSS. He suspected the MapleStory aliens might be behind the dinosaurs’ superpowers and, just as he considered contacting Fesen, his radar detected an approaching UFO.

• Cheng Tian concluded that neither Fesen nor the underground Dinosaur Protection Association protagonists could serve as his Final BOSS, so he turned his attention to the invading MapleStory setting.
• Cheng Tian hypothesized that aliens had given dinosaurs their Superpower Genes, but doubted an alien would have a clear conflict with him that made it a valid BOSS.
• Cheng Tian decided to contact Fesen for information and hired Bald Butcher’s team to search for Sabertooth Tiger fossils or remains.
• Cheng Tian’s Radar Unit detected an airborne vehicle approaching, and its cannons aimed at a standard flying UFO.

A mysterious UFO abducted Gates LB Orange, prompting Cheng Tian and Eileen to attack it. Once the UFO stole Orange, Space revealed the hidden mission to recover it and eliminate the aliens responsible.

• A saucer-shaped UFO approached Hadron Innovation Lab and hovered over Gates LB Orange.
• The UFO used a gravity beam to lift Orange while Cheng Tian held back, hoping to trigger a hidden mission.
• Eileen fired a storm-wreathed Spirit Arrow at the UFO, which vanished briefly before reappearing with its beam restored.
• Cheng Tian attacked with Radar’s cannons, but the UFO deflected the shots and fired a fireball that his Heart Barriers neutralized.
• The UFO stored Orange inside itself, and Space announced the special hidden mission, The Stolen Collection, tasking Cheng Tian’s team with reclaiming Orange and eliminating the culprit.

After aliens abducted Orange in a UFO, Cheng Tian began searching for a new map to locate their base before his mission time ran out. Jack T. Ripper watched the UFO’s departure and considered pursuing the stolen mecha, but the arrival of a Fesenden Institute helicopter left him uneasy.

• Cheng Tian and Eileen received a mission prompt after the UFO took Orange, and Cheng Tian began looking for clues to the aliens’ base.
• Cheng Tian identified three connected volcanoes as a possible location and considered seeking a new map from the Dinosaur Protection Association, Fesenden Institute, or Dragon Hunters.
• Jack T. Ripper watched events at Cheng Tian’s laboratory and became eager to find the UFO and its stolen mecha.
• Jack saw a helicopter bearing the Fesenden Institute’s insignia approaching the laboratory and felt a sense of crisis.

Cheng Tian intimidated Slice’s Fesenden Institute delegation, traded an obsolete bone boomerang for a newly surveyed world map, and unlocked fast travel between marked regions. He planned to head to Java, Indonesia, to explore its volcanic terrain.

• Cheng Tian used the sight of his laboratory and Brodia to intimidate Slice and his two subordinates before hearing why they had come.
• Slice explained that Dr. Fesenden doubted Cheng Tian had tamed a Tyrannosaurus Rex and offered a channel for Cheng Tian to speak with him.
• Cheng Tian asked Slice for a new world map, and Slice agreed to provide one without dinosaur distribution data.
• Cheng Tian gave Slice the Boomerang Bone Club in exchange for the map.
• Cheng Tian and Eileen received a prompt unlocking fast travel to marked regions, and Cheng Tian chose Java as his next destination.

Utan connected with Fesen and negotiated over genetic technologies that could let Utan switch between orangutan and human forms. Cheng Tian then flew with Eileen to Bromo Volcano, where his Dominator Radar found a humanoid mech.

• Cheng Tian left Bazett and the others to guard the laboratory, entrusted Utan with contacting Fesen, and departed with Eileen.
• Utan and Fesen discussed genetic mutation and transformation, and Fesen demonstrated his dragon-man form.
• Utan offered Genomic Hybridization technology in exchange for Fesen's stable human-animal transformation technology, turning their conversation into a contest over who wanted the other's research more.
• Cheng Tian and Eileen traveled in the repaired Helion, using its rapid movement without draining its energy.
• Cheng Tian scanned volcanic regions with the Dominator Radar and found a humanoid mech near Bromo Volcano.

Cheng Tian piloted Helion through a fierce aerial battle against the mutated pterosaurs around Bromo Volcano. After landing, he drilled through a rock wall and discovered Purple Dragon Elder’s chamber near Gates LB.

• Mutated pterosaurs attacked Helion, and Cheng Tian evaded their attacks while protecting the mech with the Heart Barrier.
• Cheng Tian used Helion’s cannons and Crystal Heartscape wingmen to shoot down the pterosaurs, collecting a floating “POW” that restored 8 durability points.
• The pterosaurs fled after Cheng Tian overwhelmed their flock, and he landed as Eileen climbed out of the cockpit and vomited from airsickness.
• Cheng Tian entered the Drill Tank and bored through a rock wall, reaching a crystal chamber where he found Purple Dragon Elder curled up.

Cheng Tian found the Purple Dragon Elder, took a pentagram-patterned Triceratops egg, and learned that the aliens had captured powerful dinosaurs and his Gates LB Orange. He reached the Orange and found five glowing dinosaurs gathered around it.

• Cheng Tian questioned the Purple Dragon Elder, who explained that aliens had abducted her and later left her alone after failing to understand her inherited intelligence.
• Cheng Tian asked whether the elder wanted to leave, then selected a pentagram-patterned Triceratops egg from the three eggs she revealed.
• The Purple Dragon Elder told Cheng Tian that the aliens had captured powerful dinosaurs from across the island about five hours earlier.
• Cheng Tian drove the Drill Tank deeper into the volcanic cave, realizing the aliens had had time to study Gates.
• Cheng Tian found his Gates LB Orange on a platform surrounded by a purple pterosaur, green Triceratops, pink plesiosaur, blue Allosaurus, and red Tyrannosaurus Rex, all glowing with white and colored lights.

Cheng Tian blinded the Metal Dinosaurs and fled their cavern in the Drill Tank while Eileen prepared to meet him outside. Their escape coincided with Bromo Volcano erupting, and they received the title “Jurassic World 2 Classic Reenactment/Dinosaur Bane” for causing the dinosaurs to flee.

• Cheng Tian used Solar Punch to reveal and blind the five Metal Dinosaurs, then escaped the charging Metal Tyrannosaurus Rex by drilling through the rock.
• The Metal Tyrannosaurus Rex fired a powerful fireball into the tunnel, but Cheng Tian turned the passage and continued drilling away.
• Eileen waited outside on Lightning Rhythm and launched into the air as Cheng Tian emerged from the cavern.
• Bromo Volcano began erupting, and flaming boulders flew toward Cheng Tian and Eileen while magma drove the Superpowered Dinosaurs to flee.
• Cheng Tian and Eileen received the title “Jurassic World 2 Classic Reenactment/Dinosaur Bane” for indirectly causing the eruption and dinosaur stampede.

Cheng Tian watched the dragon-beasts flee a volcanic eruption and fought the Metal Dinosaurs emerging from the crater. The chapter ended when the damaged purple Metal Pterosaurs crashed into his stolen Gates LB Orange, apparently connecting with it.

• The dragon-beasts fled the lava, but many became trapped at the shore because they could not swim or cooperate.
• Eileen regretted that she was not recruiting servants, while Cheng Tian looked forward to collecting the dead dinosaurs for experiments.
• Cheng Tian attacked the purple Metal Pterosaurs with Helion and the Crystal Heartscape wingmen, damaging one of its wings.
• The injured purple Metal Pterosaurs flew into Cheng Tian’s Gates LB Orange and connected with it in a loud crash.

Cheng Tian tried to force the Metal Dinosaurs to combine by taunting them, then used Octopus Mecha Agomis to shatter their ice transport and sink the red and blue dinosaurs. The six machines combined around Orange into the Hundred Dragon King.

• Orange attached the purple Metal Pterosaurs as wings and took flight, revealing that the Metal Dinosaurs could combine into a six-part mechanical boss.
• Cheng Tian drew an enormous Armstrong Cannon in the air with Helion, drawing the Metal Dinosaurs' attention, but Orange waited for the others instead of pursuing him.
• The Metal Dinosaurs built an ice ship to carry the red Tyrannosaurus Rex, while Cheng Tian sent Octopus Mecha Agomis beneath the sea to attack it.
• Octopus Mecha Agomis trapped the pink plesiosaur in a whirlpool and destroyed the ice floe with four missiles, sending the red Tyrannosaurus Rex and blue Allosaurus sinking underwater.
• The Metal Dinosaurs transformed into limbs and assembled around Orange, forming the Hundred Dragon King.
