Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen went shopping with Wu Shanshan and Wenren Sheng, while Zhao Han grew curious about the tension between the two. Wenren Sheng investigated how ordinary people could wield Mysterious Power without suffering backlash and realized that organizations would soon compete to recruit them.

The Tiger-skin Parrot reported its failed mission to the Elder Council and grew suspicious of the Mist Wall and Lord Fire Eye’s influence. Two days later, Inspector Liu called Wenren Sheng to handle a difficult recruitment, but Wenren Sheng planned to teach Shi Shi the illusion technique and send her instead so he could return to sleep.

• The Tiger-skin Parrot reported that an unidentified woman had taken Sun Yan Yu’s power, then received a punishment of picking at its eyeballs for a month.
• The Tiger-skin Parrot warned the elders that the woman had crossed the Mist Wall, but the Grand Elder dismissed the claim without evidence.

• Wenren Sheng discovered that Little Illusion could enter Colossus State through the Mist Wall, but Little Illusion refused to learn his technique.
• Shi Shi volunteered to learn the Illusion Acceleration Technique, so Wenren Sheng planned to send her in his place and go back to sleep.

Wenren Sheng sent Shi Shi, disguised as him, to meet Liao Aoquan, a young security guard whose new ability created scenes and gifts for courting women. When Liao refused recruitment because he wanted to stay near Madam Fu, Wenren Sheng trapped him in a fast-moving illusion to teach him a lesson, but Liao continued interpreting her insults as affection.

• Wenren Sheng taught Shi Shi the Illusion Acceleration Technique and instructed her to impersonate him at the sealed residential complex.
• Inspector Liu explained that Liao Aoquan's ability could conjure courting scenes and gifts, but Liao refused to join the Patrol Division because he wanted to stay by Madam Fu.

• Captain Kong told the group that Liao's tears had watered down the cement he was mixing while he thought about Madam Fu.
• Wenren Sheng enveloped the security office in an illusion where a day passed every second, and Liao continued messaging Madam Fu despite her threats and insults.

• Wenren Sheng realized Liao Aoquan’s obsessive simping was part of his true nature and doubted he could simply make him change.
• Wenren Sheng told Little Illusion to give Liao Aoquan the full package, then had Shi Shi use Ouyang Tian’s template instead.

• Liao Aoquan learned that only he could see and touch the Goddess, and she reassured him he would no longer have to worry about her speaking to other men.

After Little Illusion reported that the Sole Supremacy Society was preparing to invade Colossus State, Wenren Sheng identified their plan to seize Miken and exploit its Source Crystal factories. He assessed the enemy and prepared to defend the territory, assigning Little Illusion to fight alongside Big Cat and planning to draw on the Immortal as an energy source.

• Wenren Sheng woke to find Little Illusion back, and she showed him visions of Yan Ze and the Sole Supremacy Society preparing to invade Miken for its Source Crystals.
• Wenren Sheng declared that they would prepare for battle after learning the invaders intended to weaken the Colossus with the Mist Wall barrier.
• Wenren Sheng researched the Sole Supremacy Society and learned that Fire Eye backed its Council of Elders and seven Grandmaster-level elders with advanced technology.
• Wenren Sheng judged that his forces could defeat the enemy but needed a way to operate through the Mist Wall.
• Wenren Sheng told Little Illusion to combine with Big Cat for the battle and promised to provide enough power, planning to recruit the Immortal as an energy source.

• Wenren Sheng asked Wu Shanshan to join the fight, and she agreed to go that night.
• Yan Ze and the Third Elder confronted Little Illusion and a massive Ultraman at a farm in Colossus State.

• The Third Elder made both sides enter Turn-Based Mode, freezing the cat after its first attack while Wenren Sheng watched through Little Illusion.

Wenren Sheng arranged for Physics Holy Swords to reach Little Illusion’s battlefield, where a Colossus warrior shattered the Sole Supremacy Society’s Bronze Lamp and turned the fight into a defeat for the Society. Little Illusion captured the Third Elder, who quickly submitted to her despite his earlier devotion to Lord Fire Eye.

• The Third Elder’s fighters struggled against Big Cat, whose attacks hurt them while their own blows had no effect under the Bronze Lamp’s turn-based combat rules.

• Yan Ze and the surviving members of the Sole Supremacy Society escaped by plane, realizing that Little Illusion had captured Third Elder.

• Little Illusion returned with Third Elder as her captive while the Colossus’s believers celebrated their victory and Wenren Sheng reminded her to protect the Holy Swords.
• Wenren Sheng called Inspector Liu about Liao Aoquan and learned that Liao Aoquan had flirted with every woman on his new special operations team.
• Wenren Sheng asked Inspector Liu for Liao Aoquan’s address and set out to investigate, while Liu worried that restoring him to normal might erase his special power.

Wenren Sheng dealt with Liao Aoquan’s arrogance by having the special service team dismiss him. After Liao Aoquan fled without his imagined Goddess, Luo Yusha vanished, and Shi Shi explained that his power had stopped supporting the fantasy.

• Wenren Sheng arrived at the training ground and saw Liao Aoquan flirting instead of training and insulting his teammates.
• Wenren Sheng decided Liao Aoquan needed treatment, and the team dismissed him and threw him out of the training center.
• Liao Aoquan returned to the dormitory to look for Luo Yusha but was stopped by security guards and ran away.
• Luo Yusha turned into mist and disappeared after Liao Aoquan abandoned her, and Shi Shi explained that he had given up on his fantasy.

After the Patrol Division expelled him, Liao Aoquan was lured away and captured by a group seeking to exploit his special ability.

• The leather-clad woman and the burly man decided to make Liao Aoquan find a wealthy elderly woman to support him and give them access to her money.
• The burly man demonstrated that the elderly phone strapped to Liao Aoquan could explode, leaving Liao Aoquan terrified and convinced his captors were serious.

Wenren Sheng uncovered Liao Aoquan’s restricted ability and agreed to help Wang Yanhú train him to win the goodwill of a mysterious Bamboo Forest existence. At the training ground, Wenren Sheng recognized his father among the participants as the exercise began.

• Wenren Sheng placed safeguards on Liao Aoquan and learned that his ability materialized essential items for simps, but his Mystery Points were too low to yield an increase.

• Li Yuanfeng and Wang Yanhú briefed the assembled team that the courtship operation targeted Green Bamboo, an unknown being that might regard humans like cats and dogs.

Wenren Sheng and the Patrol Division completed a communication ritual to contact Azure Bamboo, whose gentle welcome initially reassured the team. After recognizing the Azure Robe Man as a fake, Wenren Sheng left the group facing an uncertain encounter.

• Wenren Sheng gave several Core Personnel buffs while the team prepared the communication ritual, and Wang Yanhú warned him that their companions posed the greatest danger.
• During a break, Wenren Sheng asked Aihandebu about Azure Bamboo and learned that it had once been mistaken for a Bamboo Book and used as a poet’s toilet paper.
• The team activated the ritual, entered a beautiful bamboo valley, and met an Azure Robe Man carrying a Bamboo Book.
• The Azure Robe Man invited the group into the valley, but Wenren Sheng declared that he was definitely a fake.

Wenren Sheng avoided the Azure Robe Man’s trap by creating a painting and poem that impressed Azure Bamboo, then entered a bamboo house and searched for a gift. He discovered that the house’s doors were the most valuable objects and learned they could transport him between doors.

• Wenren Sheng followed the Azure Robe Man and realized he was baiting the group into composing bad poems to disqualify themselves.
• Wenren Sheng painted bamboo and recited Zheng Banqiao’s “Bamboo Rock,” silencing the valley and impressing Azure Bamboo.
• Wenren Sheng vanished from the valley and appeared inside a bamboo house, where Azure Bamboo offered him one item.
• Wenren Sheng searched the room by touch and identified the doors as the most valuable items.
• Wenren Sheng discovered that the Door of Emptiness let him freely appear behind another door and was worth 9999 Mystery Points.

Wenren Sheng took the two Doors of Emptiness from Azure Bamboo and returned to the valley with them. After discovering how the doors worked, he kept them for himself and left, while Li Yuanfeng and Wang Yanhú planned to seek out more people skilled in literary arts.

• Wenren Sheng removed Azure Bamboo's two bamboo doors, earned a mocking farewell, and returned to the valley carrying them.
• Wenren Sheng reunited with Li Yuanfeng and Wang Yanhú, then brought the doors back to the real world as palm-sized miniatures.
• Wenren Sheng expanded the doors against two walls, but a guard dog that entered did not return until the group placed bones by the other door.
• Wenren Sheng explained that the doors created a safe zone, put them away, and left before anyone could claim them.
