Chapter Summaries

Yang Bo cooperated with three researchers to test how his Fire Energy could improve Space Mecha, then returned to the spaceport. His return triggered a catastrophic collapse, and he fled while planning to use the researchers and their work later.

• Yang Bo questioned White about Space Mecha buyers, agreed to help the researchers, and asked them to obtain wealthy owners' mecha configurations.
• Yang Bo spent three hours controlling his Fire Energy during experiments, producing dozens of test items and extensive data.
• White warned Yang Bo that attempts to return through the Space Channel had killed every living test subject, but Yang Bo went ahead and returned in his mecha with a new Laser Cannon accessory.
• After arriving, Yang Bo heard cracking noises, activated Stealth, and escaped as the castle collapsed and exposed a Shopping Mall below.
• Yang Bo suspected his mecha's energy overflow caused the collapse and planned to give White and the others Energy Metal to make components after the smuggling ship arrived.
• Yang Bo revealed himself in a bar restroom and decided to spend the next few days playing games while waiting.

White, Wilson, and Davis realized Yang Bo’s extraordinary strength might offer them a chance to extend their lifespans, so they planned to impress him with a mecha design and keep the experiment secret. Meanwhile, Yang Bo watched the Ash Organization member at the spaceport and discovered he met with a suspected Red Earl’s Faction member.

• White, Wilson, and Davis celebrated their successful live-subject space delivery experiment and discussed Yang Bo’s remarkable abilities.
• White explained that Yang Bo’s strength, armor, and energy output could make him a powerful ally, and urged the others to design an impressive mecha for him within a month.
• White told Wilson and Davis to keep the experiment secret and make themselves valuable to Yang Bo in hopes he would help extend their lifespans.
• Yang Bo waited at the spaceport while watching the Ash Organization member, then grew bored with the arcade games and reflected on why he struggled to enjoy his wealth.
• Yang Bo noticed a black-haired man he suspected belonged to the Red Earl’s Faction and followed him to a teahouse, where the Ash Organization member soon joined him in a private room.

Yang Bo captured a middle-aged man whose devices linked him to the Red Earl's Faction, then disguised himself as the man to confront an Ash Organization contact. He demanded collateral for the Ash Organization's intelligence and insisted the contact apologize, leaving their meeting tense and unresolved.

• Yang Bo followed the lazy middle-aged man to a public restroom, electrocuted him, and searched his smart devices.
• Yang Bo found evidence that the man had Red Earl's Faction ties, a ticket to March Star, and an invitation from the Ninth Fleet, so he captured him and took his identity.
• Yang Bo returned to the tea house disguised as the middle-aged man and questioned the Ash Organization member about its intelligence and Ninth Fleet infiltrators.
• Yang Bo demanded that the Ash Organization provide collateral before he would trust its intelligence, and the contact angrily refused.
• Yang Bo ordered the Ash Organization member to say he was sorry, while the man mocked the Red Earl's Faction.

Yang Bo posed as a deranged Red Earl follower and beat, stripped, and extorted an Ash Organization member after provoking him. The Ash member escaped through the VIP Channel, while Yang Bo hoped the humiliation would drive him to betray Red Earl’s operation on March Star.

• Yang Bo blocked the Ash Organization member from leaving and demanded an apology and compensation for insulting Red Earl’s organization.
• When the Ash member tried to force his way past, Yang Bo overpowered him, beat him unconscious, and arranged his belongings on the table.
• Yang Bo demanded compensation and a security deposit, and the Ash member transferred him more than 56 Million Credit Points.
• Yang Bo accompanied the Ash member toward the entertainment area, but the man suddenly fled through the VIP Channel.
• Yang Bo let him escape and reflected that the Ash member might retaliate by selling information about Red Earl’s operation on March Star.

Yang Bo waited for the fallout from his confrontation with an Ash Organization member, then slipped into Stealth when the spaceport began screening passengers for Red Earl members. In the VIP Channel, he spotted two bodyguards whose bearing suggested they came from the Aquamarine Empire, reminding him of his own past connection to it.

• Yang Bo returned to the public restroom, changed back into his earlier appearance, and hoped Ash Organization and Red Earl's Faction would clash.
• The Ash Organization member Yang Bo had slapped brooded in the VIP lounge and secretly planned retaliation against Red Earl's Faction after being beaten and robbed.
• Yang Bo wandered the spaceport, disliked a movie, and heard an announcement that Red Earl members were still present and the entire spaceport would be checked again.
• Yang Bo went into Stealth and headed for the VIP Channel as police and military units screened passengers and detained people who tried to flee.
• Yang Bo spotted two bodyguards outside a private room whose bearing reminded him of the Aquamarine Empire, and he recalled having once Camouflaged himself as someone connected to it.

Yang Bo overheard Feng Yiliu and the Eleventh Prince’s butler discussing their search for the Life Energy Stone and their ambitions in the Aquamarine Empire’s succession struggle. After Young Master Zhang sent him information confirming Feng Yiliu’s identity and reputation, Yang Bo planned to introduce him to the Alliance’s unusual bar services.

• Yang Bo slipped into a private room and overheard Feng Yiliu and the white-haired butler discussing their mission to obtain the Life Energy Stone from Zhou Sen.
• Feng Yiliu and the butler discussed the Emperor’s vacant Crown Prince position and their hope that the Eleventh Prince would become the next Crown Prince.
• Yang Bo left the room and messaged Young Master Zhang to request information about Feng Yiliu.
• Young Master Zhang and Butler Niu chose to send Yang Bo the information while avoiding further involvement in his reasons for asking.
• Yang Bo learned that Feng Yiliu was the young man he had seen and that the white-haired butler served the Eleventh Prince, then decided to arrange for Feng Yiliu to experience the Alliance’s bars.

Yang Bo abducted Feng Yiliu from a spaceport bar and arranged an eight-hour session with male Bionic Humans as revenge for the privileged Imperial’s actions. Police and ambulance robots arrived after Feng Yiliu remained inside for the full session, while Yang Bo watched from a distance.

• Yang Bo followed Feng Yiliu and the white-bearded old man from the VIP Channel into a high-end bar, then followed Feng Yiliu to a private room.
• Yang Bo disguised himself as bar staff, knocked Feng Yiliu unconscious, put an Inhibition Collar on him, and stored him in a Space Box.
• Yang Bo impersonated Feng Yiliu, paid the bar five million Credit Points, and left after telling the staff to look after the neighboring guest.
• Yang Bo rented four male Bionic Humans modeled after sports stars, took Feng Yiliu to their room, and left him wearing the Inhibition Collar.
• Yang Bo waited near the facility for eight hours, then heard that police and ambulance robots had responded to Feng Yiliu’s injuries.

Whitebeard Butler learned that Feng Yiliu had been taken to a rescue center after a robot-hotel incident and discovered that the Inhibition Collar around his neck came from the Empire’s Royal Armory. Suspecting a warning from a rival prince or the Emperor, Whitebeard Butler prepared to contact the Royal Armory, while Yang Bo quietly moved to leave.

• Whitebeard Butler met police officers, who showed him footage of Feng Yiliu ordering an abuse package and being taken to the rescue center after the robots continued servicing him.
• Whitebeard Butler examined Feng Yiliu’s Inhibition Collar at the rescue center and took the unconscious Feng Yiliu back to the VIP Area residence.
• Black Sword scanned the collar and identified it as a five-year-old Royal Armory model that he could not safely remove himself.
• Whitebeard Butler woke Feng Yiliu, who said a bar employee had attacked him before he woke up at the robot service hotel, and suspected their whereabouts had been exposed.
• Whitebeard Butler and Feng Yiliu speculated that the collar might signal the involvement of another prince or the Imperial Emperor, and Whitebeard Butler decided to contact the Royal Armory Research Institute.
• Yang Bo prepared to slip away because the collar would explode if removed through its original procedure.

Yang Bo gained Power Extraction after Feng Yiliu died when his Inhibition Collar was remotely unlocked, while the Aquamarine Empire focused on the collar technology and fabricated an explanation for the death. Yang Bo later sabotaged an Energy Metal smuggling operation, warned Zhang Bozhen about evidence implicating Zhang Letian, and returned to March Star to find the Alliance news blaming the Shadows for Feng Yiliu's death.

• Whitebeard Butler arranged for the Royal Armory to unlock Feng Yiliu's Inhibition Collar, which discharged energy and killed Feng Yiliu as Yang Bo gained Power Extraction.
• Whitebeard Butler arranged for surveillance footage of an Ash Organization member to serve as an explanation for Feng Yiliu's death and hurried back to the Aquamarine Empire with the corpse.
• Zhang Bozhen and Butler Niu speculated that the Aquamarine Empire's Shadows had manipulated Feng Yiliu and considered asking Ninth Mister about the incident.

• Yang Bo returned to March Star and read Alliance news accusing the Shadows of orchestrating Feng Yiliu's death and other bizarre incidents in the Aquamarine Empire.

Yang Bo learned that Zhang Letian had been arrested after a corpse linked to the Red Earl Organization was found in a smuggling shipment, while Zhang Bozhen credited Ninth Mister with arranging it. After reuniting with Annie and Siya, Yang Bo planned to warn Fatty Boss and Zhou Rui about the Aquamarine Empire’s Shadows, while the Doomsday Instance Game Department waited for him to log in again.

• Yang Bo read about the Aquamarine Empire’s mysterious Shadows and wondered how Zhang Letian was doing.
• The Alliance Council and Judicial Department’s task force arrested Zhang Letian after finding a Red Earl Organization member’s corpse in crates he had received at March Star’s spaceport.
• Zhang Bozhen and Butler Niu praised Ninth Mister for using the corpse to remove Zhang Letian and the family’s remaining presence on March Star.
• Yang Bo returned to Annie and Siya, spent time with them, and discussed their mecha training and superpower progress.
• Yang Bo replied to Fatty Boss, Zhou Rui, and Liu Jingxiang, then arranged to meet Fatty Boss and Zhou Rui to warn them about the Shadows.
• Annie noted that the game had earned nothing the previous month, while the Colonel urged the Doomsday Instance Game Department to identify Yang Bo when he logged in again.

Yang Bo warned Zhou Rui and Fatty Boss that the Aquamarine Empire’s Shadows might come to March Star, then contacted Zhou Rui while disguised as Third Master. Back at his villa, he tested his new Power Extraction ability on a Sand Rat and found that it could drain strength temporarily and might be lethal.

He then found that the skill could draw power from a mecha while he was in his Mechanic form, and he planned further experiments before logging into the game with Annie and Siya.

• Yang Bo traveled into the deep sea and repeatedly used Power Extraction on a Sea Eel, draining its strength until it died without apparent injuries.
• Yang Bo tested the skill on other marine creatures and concluded that its effectiveness depended on whether his body could withstand the extracted power.
• Yang Bo activated Power Extraction inside a Training Mecha without effect, then used it while in his Mechanic form and felt a surge of strength as the mecha’s data readings became abnormal.
• Yang Bo noticed his Mechanic form had reached 20% and suspected he had extracted power converted from the mecha’s energy.
• Yang Bo reset the mecha’s data, checked on the awakened Sand Rat, and decided to buy mechanical toys for more experiments.
• Yang Bo replied to Annie’s message about playing the game, then washed and ate breakfast before preparing to log in.

Yang Bo returned to the Doomsday Game, accepted a dangerous mission to explore an underground biological research facility, and prepared to investigate the Great Cataclysm. While he waited for the mission to begin, Liu Zhijie and Liu Jingxiang discussed Yang Bo and their uncertain personal futures; the chapter ended as Yang Bo arrived at an abandoned mountain outpost.

• Yang Bo bought weapons and ammunition and browsed the Doomsday Game guild rankings, noting that the Justice Gang had insulted the Bird-Slaying Gang.
• Liu Jingxiang told Liu Zhijie that Yang Bo had ignored her messages, and Liu Zhijie encouraged her to pursue him while acknowledging Yang Bo's uncertain but powerful connections.
• Liu Zhijie told Liu Jingxiang that his family could retaliate against them and that Yang Bo's influence might deter them, though Yang Bo's backers were not secure.
• Yang Bo's mission loaded, and he found himself on a mountain overlooking an abandoned reinforced-concrete outpost with traces of former barbed-wire fencing.

Yang Bo explored the ruined research institute, where bizarre Mutated Animals attacked him and mushrooms interfered with detection. He uncovered a chamber containing a strange egg-laying creature and mismatched hatchlings, but the Game Department took control of his Bionic Human before he could investigate further.

• Yang Bo descended toward the research institute, killing hundreds of strange Mutated Animals that gave him no skills.
• Yang Bo bombed the tunnel and used the echoes to map the institute as more Mutated Animals poured out to attack him.
• Yang Bo charged into the tunnel, disrupted the creatures’ orderly movements, and realized they were likely being controlled.
• Yang Bo cut down mushrooms with Laser Swords and discovered their dust interfered with the Bionic Human’s detection and camera.
• Yang Bo entered a stone chamber and found a large octopus-headed, duck-bodied creature, eggs, and newly hatched animals unlike one another.
• The Game Department ordered a takeover, and Yang Bo lost his long-range Optoelectric Superpower connection.

Yang Bo defeated the Game Department’s highest-difficulty monster and completed his mission, then began preparing a trap for the Justice Gang in the Mecha Game. After logging out, he wondered about the strange creatures he had encountered and resumed his attempt to contact the Game Department through social media.

• Yang Bo shot the monster’s eyes with pinpoint accuracy, killed the highest-difficulty Boss, and completed his mission despite the Game Department’s attempt to make him fail.

• Lazy Little Sun and her boyfriend discussed how to draw out Yang Bo’s identity information, and Crazy Goat finally sent a message.

Yang Bo gathered information from Little Sun, continued his experiments and monster grinding, and prepared a water-driven stone-ball trap in the Mecha Game. He returned as Bird-Slaying Bro and drew the Justice Gang’s pursuit, leaving the players and Game Department focused on the coming confrontation.

• Little Sun chatted with Yang Bo for over an hour, but she and her boyfriend learned little about him beyond his age, gaming habits, and wealth.

• Yang Bo set a trap in the Mecha Game by placing heavy stone balls in a passage below an Underground Reservoir and arranged for Tie Niu to release the water when the Justice Gang approached.
• Yang Bo logged in as Bird-Slaying Bro in a Third Generation Mecha, provoked the watching drones, and headed into the Underground World as players recognized him.
• The Justice Gang sent thirty Eleventh Generation Mechas after Yang Bo and livestreamed the pursuit, while the Game Department discussed introducing a PK mode.

Yang Bo fled through the Underground World with the Justice Gang pursuing him, while their livestream and forum posts celebrated his supposed defeat. He reached the trap area and triggered a prepared torrent of water and Stone Balls, leaving the Justice Gang about to enter its path.

• Yang Bo reported the Justice Gang's bounty for Bird-Slaying Bro's identity, and the forum shut down their livestream before they restarted it without the bounty.
• Yang Bo kept fleeing as the Justice Gang chased him with thirty mechas, and the gang posted images of the small animals he had killed while disabling comments.
• Yang Bo led the pursuers deeper underground and met up with Tie Niu on the third level before entering a narrow passage on the fourth level.
• The Justice Gang members rushed after Yang Bo, believing the cramped passage would make it easy to damage his mecha with bombs.
• Tie Niu smashed through the Underground Reservoir wall and unleashed a torrent carrying Stone Balls into the passage, then nearly knocked himself unconscious trying to move through the water.

Yang Bo lured the Justice Gang's mechas into a prepared underground trap after provoking them and extorting a donation through twisted logic. He returned to the surface as the Game Department struggled to account for the missing mechas, and he began baiting the Justice Gang into a costly legal fight.

• Yang Bo blocked the Justice Gang's thirty mechas in a narrow passage, mocked them, and used a Rock Lizard to pressure them into donating ten million to charity.
• After the Justice Gang made the donation, Yang Bo escaped through a concealed rock wall as their players threw bombs, triggering a flood and Stone Balls that wrecked most of their mechas.
• Tie Niu helped seal the passage and later recovered rare-metal components, while Tie Niu's brother destroyed damaged mechas; only three of the thirty escaped the trap area.
• Yang Bo returned to the surface and denied setting the trap, then suggested the Justice Gang should hire lawyers and sue over the missing mechas.

He avoided the Mecha Game afterward and turned to the Doomsday Instance, where he planned to delay a mine mission and focus on other goals.

• Yang Bo provoked the Justice Gang’s eighteen flight mechas, then used life-detection radar and nearby animals to stop them from dropping bombs without appearing hypocritical.
• Yang Bo escaped with a huge python wrapped around his mecha, while the Justice Gang withdrew and became the target of ridicule and extortion by other players.
