Chapter Summaries

Zhang Bozhen arranged for March Star to secure Energy Metal by bringing commercial construction projects to the planet, while Yang Bo avoided attention and tested how imbuing creatures with Stealth energy affected the skills he gained. After receiving warnings about people seeking Zhou Rui’s father over a Life Energy Stone, Yang Bo disguised himself as Third Master and entered the Bounty Hunter Guild, where he noticed something unusual about Peach Woman.

• Butler Niu proposed using construction contracts with commercial giants to bring Energy Metal to March Star, and Zhang Bozhen secured Ninth Mister’s agreement to wait one to three months.
• Yang Bo rejected Little Sun’s attempt to draw him into a video call, avoided logging into games, and planned to create a new identity to contact Tie Niu.
• Yang Bo killed a creature imbued with Stealth energy and gained Stealth +2, then began testing whether longer imbuing would grant him the Stealth skill instead of Excavation.
• Zhou Rui warned Yang Bo that unknown people had arrived seeking her father because of the Life Energy Stone, and Fatty Boss also advised him to stay inside.
• Yang Bo assumed Third Master’s identity, went to the Bounty Hunter Guild to buy Energy Metal, and noticed Peach Woman’s unusual allure when she greeted him.

Yang Bo confronted a group from the Iron Sword Sect at their campground, hoping they would attack so he could test his skills against them. The group instead offered donations and promised to leave March Star, leaving Yang Bo frustrated by their refusal to fight.

• Yang Bo asked Bald Head Zhou Rui for two fake identities and Energy Metal, then agreed not to kill the Iron Sword Sect visitors unless they threatened him.
• Zhou Rui told Yang Bo that Bai Lu had the Charm superpower and asked him to protect her; Yang Bo said he would intervene if anyone bullied her.

• Yang Bo challenged the four visitors, but they denied coming to cause trouble and backed away when he threatened them.
• Yang Bo demanded a 10 million Credit Points donation and that the group leave within a day, but the bald elderly man offered larger donations and more time instead of resisting.

Yang Bo used the bald old man's information to identify Alliance Reserve Committee member Thomas Miller, also known as Little Thomas, as a possible target. After spotting Thomas arriving at his yacht, Yang Bo smashed the vessel and sent Thomas flying, but Thomas activated his energy and escaped into the air.

• Yang Bo frightened the bald old man into naming a powerful person who allegedly abused his authority, and the old man's group hurried to the spaceport to leave.
• Yang Bo learned the target was Thomas Miller, an Alliance Reserve Committee member with ties to the Free and Unfettered Sect, and went to observe his seaside villa.
• Yang Bo saw Thomas arrive at the VIP pier on a Flying Skateboard with a woman while protesters and reporters gathered nearby.
• Police Drones netted the protesters, and Thomas flew to his yacht, where he insulted the crowd and revealed he had come seeking valuable Mutated Creatures.
• Yang Bo rushed toward the yacht, smashed it apart, and knocked Thomas into the air; Thomas activated his energy and flew away as drones approached.

Yang Bo used his Optoelectric Superpower to evade the Planetary Alarm System while beating Little Thomas, destroying his mecha, and killing him underwater. He escaped through an underground river as fighters and drones began searching the sea, while witnesses watched blurred footage and speculated about his abilities.

• Yang Bo escaped through an underground river while fighters and drones searched the sea; the livestream spread widely, and the Bald Head elder warned his companions to stay quiet.

Zhang Bozhen and Butler Niu concluded that Little Thomas’s killing would make it difficult for the Henry Conglomerate or Zhang Bozhen’s family to interfere on March Star. Back at his villa, Yang Bo tested Energy Repair and discovered it could restore a severed leech while changing its energy attribute.

• Butler Niu told Zhang Bozhen that Little Thomas’s death could strengthen Zhang Bozhen’s control of March Star because the Henry Conglomerate and Zhang’s family would hesitate to act.

• The bald old man and his companions decided to forget what they knew about the attack rather than risk provoking the Henry Conglomerate or the attackers.

Yang Bo tested Energy Repair on Sand Rats and learned that it only worked safely when the subject’s innate talent matched the energy, leaving him uncertain about using it on people. He reviewed the public reaction to his attack on Little Thomas, then decided to seek more test subjects and noticed a flight leaving early.

• Yang Bo’s Energy Repair experiments killed Sand Rats exposed to mismatched energy, while Stealth energy gave one the ability to turn invisible; he concluded that the skill depended on innate talent.
• Yang Bo contacted Annie and Siya, then watched news reports and online discussions about the attack on Little Thomas’s yacht and the police’s handling of the case.
• Yang Bo read that Little Thomas’s family was preparing to contest the inheritance and reflected that his knowledge of Space Mecha weaknesses had helped him destroy one.
• Yang Bo considered visiting the Bald Head old man to look for more people to test Energy Repair on, then found a flight leaving more than ten hours later than expected and decided to follow its passengers while invisible.
