Chapter Summaries

Su Li infiltrated Dongsen Base by taking control of a Xilan warship and impersonating Dr. Jekik and a guard. Once inside, he began invading the base’s local network to search for a spaceship bound for Starlight Base.

• Su Li overcame a warship’s high-energy shield, seized control of its systems, and knocked out Dr. Jekik before using the Shop to purchase his identity.
• Su Li used Dr. Jekik and the guard Dongfeng Ji to pass inspections and enter Dongsen Base, spending 250 million Resource Points on Dongfeng Ji.
• After arriving at the base, Su Li began infiltrating its local network and searching for a spaceship heading to Starlight Base.

Su Li traveled between bases until he found a ship to Starlight Base, where he located Sols’s lover, Tias Yue. After Tias mistook him for someone she was expecting, Su Li knocked her unconscious and realized that person might be on the way.

• Netri told Su Li that Sols was Central District One’s top military officer and that his lover Tias Yue worked at Starlight Base.
• Su Li infiltrated ships between bases until he boarded a heavily guarded transport from Wulin Base to Starlight Base.
• Su Li searched Starlight Base’s network and found Tias, the base’s Director of Defense, in her private room.
• Tias emerged from her bath, mistook Su Li for someone else, and called him darling.
• Su Li knocked Tias unconscious and bought her through the Shop, then guessed that the person she expected might be Sols and could be on his way.

Su Li captured Sols, the highest military commander of Central District One, after finding him at Tias’s room and taking control of his intelligent-life-form guard, Jilna. Sols woke to find Su Li with Tias and Jilna, and Su Li proposed a transaction.

• Su Li hid in Tias’s room and knocked out Sols when he arrived with a companion.
• Su Li took control of the female intelligent life-form, who identified the unconscious man as Sols, Central District One’s highest military commander.
• Su Li learned Sols had arrived from Wulin Base aboard the transport ship he had passed earlier.
• Su Li used the Shop to purchase information on Sols, a beginner ninth-stage evolutionist, for 300,000 Resource Points.
• Sols woke to find Su Li sitting between Tias and Jilna, and Su Li said he wanted to make a small transaction.

Su Li arrived at Star System 5543 to seize the B-rank Thought Oscillator, learned the defenses from Sols, and chose to attack before reinforcements could arrive. He deployed twenty B-rank mechs and transformed into an armored giant, exposing himself to the Xilan Civilization’s attention.

• Su Li reviewed Sols’s information about the Thought Oscillator, three captive B-rank Superhumans, and the unknown guards stationed in the system.
• Su Li recalled how he had coerced Sols into cooperating by threatening his lovers, and decided the officer was more interesting than Netri.
• Su Li weighed infiltrating the isolated system against attacking directly, then chose a full assault in hopes of using the three captive Superhumans.
• Su Li judged that his strength and twenty B-rank mechs could overwhelm the defenders, despite the risk that the Xilan Civilization would hunt him for revealing the mechs.
• Su Li summoned the B-rank mechs and transformed into a black-armored giant, unleashing energy across the nearby void.

Su Li and twenty B-Class Superhumans broke through Star System 5543’s first defense while the defenders scrambled to protect the B-Class Mind Oscillator. After a countermeasure destroyed Su Li’s controlled mechanical spiders, his subordinates charged the green-skinned monsters as the battle continued.

• Su Li charged through the first fleet, destroying hundreds of warships, while twenty B-Class Superhumans annihilated the rest.
• The fleet commander transmitted that twenty-one B-Class Superhumans had attacked, prompting the black-suited man and Dong Quan to prepare the third line of defense and protect the Mind Oscillator.
• Su Li used Consciousness Virtualization to control the mechanical spiders through their central hub and set them against the green-skinned monsters.
• A countermeasure halted the mechanical spiders, allowing the green-skinned monsters to destroy them.
• Su Li’s twenty subordinates arrived and charged into the green-skinned monsters.

Su Li fought a powerful B+ Green Light Race Superhuman guarding the Mind Oscillator and overcame him with help from his twenty B-rank mecha. He left the guard unconscious rather than dead, intending to take him back for study.

• Su Li confronted the silver-white B+ Superhuman alone and traded attacks with him, finding that his opponent's sword strikes could cut through his defenses.
• Su Li summoned his twenty B-rank mecha from the fifth planetary orbit as a colossal object emerged from a wormhole near the star and plunged into it.
• The twenty mecha arrived, and their combined attack pierced the silver-white giant while an invisible assault damaged his mind.
• Su Li and the mecha overwhelmed the B+ Superhuman with repeated attacks until his Superhuman War God disintegrated.
• Su Li recognized the defeated man as a Green Light Race Superhuman controlled by Xilan Civilization and left him unconscious to study later.

Su Li reached the B-Class Mind Oscillator and found a black-clad B-Class Superhuman emerging with three corpses. The man damaged the device before Su Li stopped him, but the mechas then attacked from behind.

• A warship commander ordered a super-nuclear radiation burst within five minutes after learning Dong Quan's fatality rate had exceeded ninety percent.
• Su Li and nineteen B-Class mechas broke through the Third Planet's defenses and found the B-Class Mind Oscillator.
• Su Li ordered the mechas to dismantle the workbench while he approached the oscillator's main body.
• A black-clad man emerged carrying three corpses, threw them at Su Li, and struck the oscillator, destroying part of it.
• Su Li used Carbon Element Manipulation to interrupt the man's next attack and shield the oscillator.
• The black-clad man prepared to unleash his ultimate move, but several B-Class mechas attacked him from behind.

Su Li defeated the black-clad man, dismantled the B-Class Armor, and escaped Star System 5543 before the Xilan Civilization’s star-detonation destroyed it. Back in Donghai City, he made up with Xia Ke and took her to see the Quantum Base Station.

• Su Li and ten B-Class Mechas quickly defeated the black-clad man, whom Su Li kept alive as a possible brainwashing target.
• Su Li finished dismantling the B-Class Armor, collected its components, and carried the unconscious man to the planet’s surface.
• Su Li saw that the star was about to erupt, failed to open a wormhole, and escaped the Infinite Great Star Cluster with the nineteen B-Class Mechas in his spatial necklace.
• The star erupted and destroyed Star System 5543 after Su Li had escaped.
• Su Li woke in the Detective Bureau’s Armed Forces Department in Donghai City, where Xia Ke scolded him for being gone until midnight.
• Su Li kissed Xia Ke, promised to show her the nearly finished Quantum Base Station, and took her there.

Su Li took Xia Ke to see the Quantum Base Station at the edge of the Solar System and showed her the private home and amusement park he had prepared for them. After spending the night together, Xia Ke woke alone, searched for Su Li, and accidentally smashed an Engineering Robot.

• Su Li brought Xia Ke through a wormhole to the edge of the Solar System and showed her the enormous, hollow Quantum Base Station.
• Su Li showed Xia Ke the station’s interior and then led her to a special space containing a house and amusement park he had prepared for her.
• Xia Ke toured the house with Su Li, said she liked it, and agreed it would be their home before they spent the night together.
• Xia Ke woke up, realized she had been away for a day, and left the private space to look for Su Li.
• Xia Ke collided with an Engineering Robot and shattered it, then laughed when a screen warned her to travel carefully.

Su Li completed the Quantum Base Station and used it to prepare a fleet for interstellar colonization, with Xia Ke accompanying him. After gathering a million Tianfeng Humans and other supplies, he launched the ship toward a new star system.

• Su Li brought Xia Ke to the Quantum Base Station, explained his colonization plan, and gave her a spatial transfer device linking it to their bedroom.
• Su Li and Xia Ke spent the night at the station, and Su Li finished its construction; its first test successfully sent signals tens of thousands of light-years away.
• Su Li materialized a transport ship, a million Tianfeng Humans, supplies, engineering robots, and five B-Class Mechas, then brought out C+ and Xia Hexing from the Virtual Universe.
• Su Li addressed the fleet, promised rewards to motivate its crew, entered star-system coordinates, and sent the ship on its colonization mission.

Su Li returned to the ruins in the Radiance System to search for the B+ Class Superhuman and B-Class mecha he had abandoned, but found no trace of them. Back at his laboratory on Linghui Star, he told Netri that his mecha could only wield B-Class power through his own talent and planned to use the B-Class Mind Oscillator to improve it.

• Su Li left the departing transport ship, returned to Earth, then entered the Virtual Universe and visited the ruins of Star System 5543.
• Su Li returned to the ruins’ edge to look for the unconscious B+ Class Superhuman and B-Class mecha he had left behind, but found nothing and headed back to the Zidar System.
• Su Li arrived at his laboratory on Linghui Star after nearly three hours of travel and settled in to study the B-Class Mind Oscillator.
• Netri contacted Su Li to ask whether he had caused the destruction in the Radiance System and whether a B-Class mecha had appeared there.
• Su Li showed Netri his mecha and explained that it could unleash B-Class power only with his talent, and that he wanted the Mind Oscillator to overcome its consciousness-related weakness.
• Netri left expecting Su Li to complete a true B-Class mecha, while Su Li privately decided that improving the mecha’s strength mattered more than making it usable by others.

Su Li’s Expedition found several valuable resource stars, rapidly increasing his resource points, while his research on the Rank B Mind Oscillator advanced. He began looking for ways to acquire energy faster so he could reach Rank A sooner.

• The Expedition discovered a Cloud Iron Ore resource star, and Su Li sent Tianfeng People and engineering robots to survey it before continuing onward.
• Over the next month, the Expedition found several more resource stars and an energy star, while Su Li’s resource points surpassed one hundred billion.
• Su Li largely ignored his Virtual Universe tasks and devoted his time to researching the Rank B Mind Oscillator and consuming antimatter.
• Su Li thoroughly understood how to make Rank B Mind Oscillators and made major progress in consciousness research.
• Su Li realized that relying on the Tianfeng Civilization’s antimatter supply would leave him years away from Rank A, so he began considering how to obtain energy more quickly.

Ye Mohan visited Su Li to discuss her promotion to Director of the Donghai Detective Bureau, which depended on Su Li advancing to Advanced Super-class. Su Li said she was close to breaking through, and Ye Mohan told her to prepare for the role while revealing Wang Mingming as a possible Civil Affairs Department head.

• Ye Mohan visited Su Li after the three-month deadline and said the Chief Director had repeatedly urged her to establish the Southeast Branch.
• Su Li told Ye Mohan she was nearly at Advanced Super-class and expected to advance within three days, while Ye Mohan found Xia Ke still seemed far from breaking through.
• Ye Mohan named Su Li as a candidate for Director of the Donghai Detective Bureau and said the position might be decided by martial strength.
• Ye Mohan told Su Li to learn the Civil Affairs Department's work and said Secretary Wang would leave with her to the new branch.
• Ye Mohan suggested Wang Mingming as head of the Civil Affairs Department and revealed she was Advanced Super-class before stopping herself from disclosing classified information.

Su Li discussed Monina’s return with Qina and Monina, who needed to appear before an ambassador. He refused to impersonate her but proposed using a B-rank Mind Oscillator to prepare her to go back.

• After Ye Mohan left, Su Li spent time with Xia Ke before returning to his laboratory to research consciousness and souls.
• Qina and Monina asked Su Li to help Monina appear before an ambassador sent by the higher-ups as the war with the Rendo Civilization neared its end.
• Su Li refused Monina’s offer of ten billion Star Coins to impersonate her, then suggested Monina return herself.
• Qina rejected sending Monina back unharmed, so Su Li proposed using a B-rank Mind Oscillator and letting Qina choose the brainwashing content within his limits.

Su Li persuaded Monina to undergo the B-rank Mind Oscillator’s modification, despite her refusal and Qina’s concerns. The sisters chose conditions that would keep Monina from revealing anything about them while preserving her feelings, including her hatred of Su Li.

• Su Li showed Qina and Monina the repaired B-rank Mind Oscillator he had stolen from the Radiance System.
• Monina rejected Su Li’s proposal, while Qina questioned whether the device’s traces could be concealed.
• Su Li promised he could hide those traces, and Qina asked whether Monina could choose the modification’s conditions herself.
• After Su Li provoked Monina and pointed out that she was his captive, Monina reluctantly agreed to enter the Mind Oscillator.
• The sisters spent over an hour setting conditions that would prevent Monina from revealing anything about Su Li and Qina without changing her subjective thoughts.

Su Li altered Monina’s mind with the B-Class Mind Oscillator and let her leave Linghui Star, while charging her a fortune for the procedure. Later, Su Li took Xia Ke to the Expedition, where its crew welcomed him as a Virtual God.

• Su Li stopped Qina before she confirmed the Mind Oscillator commands and added a fee of twenty billion Star Coins for altering Monina’s mind.
• Qina confirmed the commands, and Su Li let Monina leave Linghui Star after her mind was altered.
• Su Li dismissed Xia Ke’s warning that people might privately contact him and proposed taking her to the Expedition.
• Su Li used spatial travel to bring Xia Ke aboard the Expedition, though the journey left her too exhausted to move on her own.
• Mu Ri’er and the Expedition’s crew bowed to Su Li and welcomed him as a Virtual God, while Xia Ke could not understand their language.

Su Li learned that his expedition had found Mo Yue Star, a life-bearing planet with a very low level of civilization, and decided to take Xia Ke down to explore it. The chapter left them teleporting from the spacecraft toward the planet while the expedition prepared to occupy it and preserve its inhabitants for their Resource Point value.

• Mu Ri'er reported that the expedition had detected signs of life, and Su Li told the crew to continue their work.
• Su Li told Xia Ke they might have found a life-bearing planet and reassured her that he could protect her.
• Su Li showed Xia Ke around the vast spacecraft and its population of several hundred thousand people.
• Mu Ri'er informed Su Li that the planet supported likely intelligent life, but its civilization was extremely undeveloped.
• Su Li told Xia Ke that he had instructed the crew to avoid excessive violence and preserve the inhabitants, then teleported with her toward Mo Yue Star.

Su Li and Xia Ke explored a Mo Yue city while disguised as ordinary Mo Yue people, then got caught in a brawl sparked by a dispute over meat. After knocking down several attackers, they found themselves facing the entire crowd, including the original rivals, who had joined forces against them.

• Su Li explained the Mo Yue Tribe’s traits to Xia Ke as they explored the city under the disguise provided by his universal translator.
• Su Li and Xia Ke went to watch a dispute between a meat buyer and seller, which turned into a fight and drew the crowd into two sides.
• The two sides sent attackers after Su Li and Xia Ke, but each of them knocked down one man with a single punch.
• Su Li and Xia Ke fought off more attackers, counting how many they had sent flying.
• The buyer and seller abandoned their feud and charged at Su Li and Xia Ke alongside the rest of the crowd.

Mu Ri'er sent the Tianfeng People to conquer Mo Yue Star, while Su Li and Xia Ke toured its violent cities before returning to Earth. Su Li then learned that the Donghai Detective Bureau director competition had begun and promised Ye Mohan he would win.

• Mu Ri'er explained how the Tianfeng People would subdue the Mo Yue Tribe and sent them down to Mo Yue Star.
• Su Li and Xia Ke left a city after seeing a brawl swell into a mass fight, then visited other cities and learned how the Mo Yue people used group fights to vent their aggression.
• Xia Ke grew tired of Mo Yue culture, so Su Li ended their tour and took her back to the expedition ship.
• Su Li and Xia Ke spent time together aboard the ship before he returned with her to Earth.
• Ye Mohan told Su Li that the Donghai Detective Bureau director competition had begun and that he had a strong chance of becoming director.
• Su Li promised Ye Mohan he would win his fights in the competition.

Su Li and Xia Ke traveled to an island for the Donghai Detective Bureau director selection battle, which Ye Mohan changed into a simulated survival contest. Su Li entered the forest against three E+ Superhumans, confident he would win, and the battle began.

• Su Li and Xia Ke arrived at the island with Secretary Wang and met Ye Mohan, who confirmed Su Li had become an Advanced Super-class.
• Ye Mohan explained that Su Li and three competitors would enter the island’s forest from different directions, with the last person standing winning.
