• Wang Zhifan used the Grimy Holy Grail to curse the subdued sea monster, then left it to finish corrupting while the Great White Shark sailed into the Storm Sea.
• After days of failing to find Forbidden Fruit Island, Wang Zhifan asked the Crocodile Man giant, Gugucha, to introduce him to his people so he could hire them to help search.
• Wang Zhifan and Gugucha sailed for four or five days before reaching the Crocodile Men's territory, where armed Crocodile Men surrounded the Great White Shark.
• Guguzha accused Gugucha of betraying their people and demanded a duel, while Gugucha insisted he had returned with a benefit for the tribe and asked to speak with the chieftain.
• Wang Zhifan challenged Guguzha, who refused to fight a human he called food and instead pressed Gugucha to duel him.
• Wang Zhifan stepped over the rail onto ice he formed on the sea and told Guguzha he could make the first move.

Wang Zhifan defeated Guguzha and the Crocodile Men in underwater duels, then asked the clan to help him with a task. He revealed that the ring Sea God's Protection had let him move freely underwater.

• Guguzha challenged Wang Zhifan to fight hand-to-hand underwater, and Wang Zhifan accepted with the condition that the loser obey the winner.

• Gugucha asked the old Crocodile Man chieftain to support cooperation with Wang Zhifan, but the chieftain refused until Gugucha threatened to win over the clan himself.
• The old chieftain revealed that he knew how to reach Forbidden Fruit Island, and Wang Zhifan agreed to pay the Crocodile Men one thousand Golden Orchid Coins while following the directions himself.

• Wang Zhifan picked a Forbidden Fruit, advanced to Lv10, and selected three rewards, including the Epic-tier Sea God's Eye.

• Wang Zhifan returned to the East City Villa only seconds after Chen Ming and Chen Can, then declined their offer of a social engagement while accepting their thanks.
• After the Chen brothers left, Wang Zhifan reviewed his player panel, noting his Lv10 level, improved Great Dream Saber Scripture, and new Storm Power ability.
• Wang Zhifan transferred a generator, diesel, and purified water into the Anomalous Domain, then told Yilin and Yali he planned to relieve them of watching over the monsters.
• Wang Zhifan decided to kill ordinary monsters and sell elite and leader-grade monsters, then gathered the ordinary ones to test his new abilities.
• Wang Zhifan used Draw and Slash to kill the ordinary monsters in one sweep, then tested Storm Power by creating a powerful tornado that scattered their remains.

• Wang Zhifan posted his remaining elite- and leader-tier monsters for sale at prices that attracted attention but made forum users question whether the goods were real.

• Wang Zhifan filtered through hundreds of private messages and found that the forum officials wanted to purchase the entire lot.
• Wang Zhifan considered dealing with the officials, reasoning that the sale could strengthen the Administration against threats such as the Ash Domain.

The girl prayed fervently after he vanished, leaving Wang Zhifan ready to test the next step of his plan.

• Wang Zhifan traveled to the Limitless Sect after the Guest Elder Token summoned him and learned that Sect Master Xiong wanted his help attacking a Demon Gate outpost with three allied sects.

• Wang Zhifan saw a scar-faced village girl jump into a river to kill herself, pulled her out with ice, and appeared before her disguised as a white-bearded immortal.
• Wang Zhifan told the girl that sincere prayer to the Benevolent Virtue Celestial Venerable could heal her, then vanished as she began praying frantically.
• Wang Zhifan watched the girl pray and concluded that he could try the next step of his plan.

Wang Zhifan tried to turn the scar-faced village woman who had prayed to him into a believer by healing her face and preparing a hidden shrine for his Faceless Statue. After returning her unconscious to the riverside, he used a Dream Self clone disguised as a white-bearded immortal to enter her spiritual world and shape her dream.

• Wang Zhifan knocked the praying village woman unconscious, hid her in the grass, and returned to the real world to charge his Biological Modification Pod.
• Wang Zhifan mentally bound the Faceless Statue, then returned to the Limitless Sect world and carried the woman to a secluded mountaintop for facial reconstruction.

Wang Zhifan entered the Death Train Instance as captain of Carriage 666 and learned that his squad must eliminate the evil spirits in the Evil Spirit Building at Platform 17. After recruiting several passengers at Platform 14, he exposed a disguised monster trying to board his carriage.

• Wang Zhifan abandoned his plan to help the village girl further, then returned to the real world to buy cooking supplies before entering a new Instance.
• Wang Zhifan found himself alone aboard Carriage 666, discovered a ghost outside its door, and used a train privilege to learn his squad's task.

• The dark-circled youth paid for cup noodles with Hell Money, and the short-haired girl bought a peach-flavored drink before the attendant vanished.
• The dark-circled youth and the short-haired girl threw their purchases onto the floor when they sensed malicious things trying to emerge from them.

During the train’s one-hour sleep period, the five players faced multiple ghosts in the pitch-black carriage, and Wang Zhifan tracked their attacks with his perception. The cold-faced woman escaped a liquid ghost’s grasp after a mysterious invisible claw intervened, leaving Wang Zhifan unsure what the claw was or whose side it was on.

• The greasy-faced middle-aged man used a red wooden box to capture the two ghosts that emerged from the discarded instant noodles and peach drink.
• After the train announced its sleep period, the players chose separate positions, and the carriage went completely dark despite the dark-circled young man’s lights.
• The carriage doors opened, and a ghost attacked the dark-circled young man, who shot it while the greasy-faced middle-aged man tried to suck it into his box.
• A second unseen attacker slashed the dark-circled young man’s neck, but a curving bullet struck its claw and drove it away.
• A liquid ghost immobilized the cold-faced woman, but the mysterious claw tore into the ghost and gave her a chance to escape.
• Wang Zhifan sensed the cold-faced woman flee and wondered whether the claw belonged to a ghost at all.

Wang Zhifan destroyed the Ghost Spirit Fluid and wounded the invisible claw that had attacked him, while the players argued over who was responsible. At Platform 15, black-robed figures with ghostly faces approached Carriage 666, and Wang Zhifan recognized them as being connected to Hell Academy.

• Wang Zhifan froze the Ghost Spirit Fluid and the claw, destroyed the fluid with flames, and damaged the claw as it vanished, leaving several nails behind.
• The carriage stayed quiet until its lights came on; Wang Zhifan shut both doors after the others discovered only the captain could operate them.
• The players concluded that a player might have used the claw to attack them, but the short-haired, slender woman refused to say whom she suspected.
• The oily-faced middle-aged man suggested recruiting NPCs before the train reached the building, while Wang Zhifan and the cold-faced woman opposed bringing in more people.
• At Platform 15, black-robed figures with rotten, ghostlike faces approached several carriages, and Wang Zhifan recognized them as connected to Hell Academy.

Wang Zhifan was forced to take Carriage 666 to the forbidden-zone mission at Evil Spirit Building after Hell Academy graduates and his teammates abandoned him. When the train unleashed powerful ghosts into adjacent carriages for a supposed cleanup, he fought alone and used Ocean Envoy to destroy most of them.

• Wang Zhifan accepted a group of Hell Academy graduates, but they withdrew after learning his team was headed to Platform 17 to clean up Evil Spirit Building, a forbidden zone.
• The players in Carriage 666 learned that nobody had returned alive from Evil Spirit Building and left, while the quiet tracksuit girl stayed until the next station.
• At Platform 15, the train announced that passengers had to clean adjacent carriages and opened the doors, letting hordes of ghosts attack Carriage 666.
• Wang Zhifan fought the ghosts with Thunder Dragon Rageblade and Ice Source Power, while the tracksuit girl briefly faced the rear before vanishing.
• Wang Zhifan activated Formlessness and Fire Shield, then used Ocean Envoy's rapid strikes to trigger its instant-kill effect and shatter the strongest ghosts.
