Ch. 326Chapter 326

Chen Li turned the Astral Express’s chase of the Headless Knight into a plan to resolve the chaos aboard the party car by rallying everyone against a powerful enemy. The group killed the Headless Knight, and Kevin won the Destiny Treasure Chest as cabbages swarmed the train.

  • The Astral Express rammed and pursued the Headless Knight, so Chen Li and Sparkle climbed aboard and discussed adding a whitelist to the Ram Miraculous Item.
  • Stelle sent Chen Li to the party car, where Fu Xuan chased Qingque, Himeko confronted Otto, and Dan Heng reunited with Baiheng and Jingliu before Silver Wolf revealed Blade on a video call.
  • Chen Li decided to use the Headless Knight as a common enemy, revived him, and rallied the passengers to attack while Eden recorded their echoes.
  • Pardo’s projection used Canned Food to swap places and throw the Headless Knight, and the group attacked under Robin and Eden’s music until they killed him before Stelle could throw her Poké Ball.
  • Chen Li barred Jing Yuan, Sunday, Hua, and Kevin from attacking again, but Kevin won the Destiny Treasure Chest after his Heavenly Fire, Unsheathed struck the Headless Knight first, as migrating cabbages battered the Friends Circle shield.

Ch. 327Chapter 327

Chen Li’s chaotic team finally captured the Headless Knight, then welcomed Megumin and Darkness into Friends Circle and forged a God-Slaying Artifact. The chapter ended with Satou Kazuma using the artifact on Aqua while she grew increasingly angry, unaware of his presence.

  • Tonghua returned from the Adventurers’ Guild and asked whether Chen Li had finished forging the artifact.

Ch. 328Chapter 328

Chen Li demonstrated the God Must Die Miraculous Item, letting Satou Kazuma use its toy and Slaughter forms to terrorize Aqua before explaining its rules and weaknesses to Tonghua. The chapter ended with adventurers praising their profession’s versatility while Satou Kazuma silently lamented that he had chosen it only because his Attribute Points qualified him for nothing else.

  • Satou Kazuma used God Must Die’s toy form to attack Aqua, and Chen Li explained that the carrot knife inflicted unavoidable damage on gods while hiding its wielder from other gods.
  • Chen Li showed God Must Die’s Slaughter Form, and Satou Kazuma chased Aqua as she screamed and fled with Tonghua and Chris.
  • Aha praised Satou Kazuma’s humor, while Chen Li explained the Miraculous Item’s traits, cost, escalating Bleeding effect, stamina cost, and limitations to Tonghua.
  • Tonghua took God Must Die and declared that she would use it to strike in an invincible form, but Chen Li warned that Slaughter Form left its wielder unprotected.
  • Adventurers discussed the benefits of their profession, and Satou Kazuma silently mourned that he had chosen Adventurer only because his Attribute Points disqualified him from other professions.

Ch. 329Chapter 329

Chen Li and the others considered how to use God Must Die against the Aeon of Abundance, while Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan worried about what would follow victory. The Astral Express then departed for Aincrad, with God Must Die still being sharpened and Sirin connecting the train to the Honkai: Star Rail network.

  • Chen Li returned Jing Yuan’s sword and explained that Extracting its Hunt trait had not damaged it; Jing Yuan declined priority access to borrow God Must Die.

Ch. 330Chapter 330

Chen Li brought Homura Akemi’s group to Aincrad and turned the plan to catch Kyubey into a competition for a new Miraculous Item, though Homura had not restarted the timeline yet. He then arranged for Kirito to teach Dual Blade Style and forged a Reporter’s Pass for Eden, whose strange paparazzi-like power left her puzzled.

  • Houraisan Kaguya, Yakumo Yukari, Aha, Silver Wolf, and others joined Homura Akemi’s plan to trick Kyubey, but Chen Li offered the right to use his upcoming Starstone-related Miraculous Item to whoever helped capture one.
  • Tonghua tried to seize the Miraculous Forging Guide, but Sirin teleported her away, and the group’s fight ended when Homura Akemi said she had not restarted the timeline yet.
  • Chen Li arrived at Aincrad and asked Kayaba Akihiko to recruit Kirito as a paid Dual Blade Style instructor for an army of eight hundred thousand.
  • Kayaba Akihiko and Otto initially bonded over their ambitions and forbidden work, then rejected each other after learning Kayaba sought a game world while Otto sought to revive his beloved.
  • Chen Li forged Eden a Miraculous Item called a Reporter’s Pass, whose effect involved taking secret photos, and Eden questioned its resemblance to paparazzi work as Robin commented on reporters.

Ch. 331Chapter 331

Chen Li reforged Eden’s Reporter's Pass into the War Correspondent's Pass, adding an alert system that allowed its wielder to intervene without being noticed until suspicion reached a threshold. Eden placed it in the Friends Circle public inventory, where it immediately attracted a flood of borrowing requests.

  • Chen Li gave Eden the Reporter's Pass, which let its wearer observe and record events while remaining safe, and Eden kissed his forehead as a positive review.
  • Elysia stole Vill-V’s chance to give Chen Li a positive review, while Sunday watched from a distance and Robin hid her face in embarrassment.

  • Eden’s terminal received eighteen borrowing requests in one second, and she asked Vill-V what she needed the item for.

  • Chen Li left the group fighting over Elysia’s Miraculous Item and went with Tonghua to learn Dual Blade Style.

Ch. 333Chapter 333

Chen Li used the Game Life Miracle Card to have the group hunt jellyfish for treasure skills in Haruhi Suzumiya’s world, then sorted through the strange rewards. The chapter left Chen Li distributing or saving the skills while Elysia’s use of the War Correspondent’s Pass remained a secret to the others.

  • Chen Li explained that the jellyfish dropped treasure skills and used the Game Life Miracle Card to determine who was best suited to hunt them.
  • Kiana, Pardo, Satou Kazuma, Pom-Pom, and others attacked jellyfish and collected strange skills, including Split Personality and Anti-Cat Magnet.
  • Elysia used the War Correspondent’s Pass to embrace Chen Li from behind and reveal that she was the Pixie from the Miraculous Forging Guide.
  • Chen Li told Great Herta and the others that he would use some of the nearly one hundred skills for pranks and save others as rewards for future group activities.
  • Chen Li chose Catnip Constitution, offered the remaining skills to the group, and refused to let Haruhi Suzumiya take Delusional Disorder, saying he would keep it for her.

Ch. 334Chapter 334

Chen Li equipped Tonghua with Miraculous Items and a Miracle Card for her final battle against the evil gods, while the group prepared to see her off. Aqua then questioned whether Tonghua needed to go herself or could send a clone in her place.

  • Haruhi Suzumiya opened the last Treasure Jellyfish and found a Pure Love Warrior Skill Crystal, but Chen Li swallowed it before anyone else could claim it.
  • Chen Li took the group to his room and gave Tonghua a second God Must Die with two hours of sharpening time.
  • Houraisan Kaguya and the others checked Tonghua’s preparations, and Tonghua received extra gear, including Eden’s War Correspondent’s Pass and Chen Li’s Miracle Card.
  • Tonghua insisted that she had to face the evil gods herself to fulfill her destiny, despite Chen Li pointing out that he also deserved credit for equipping her.
  • Aqua suggested that Chen Li summon Tonghua’s clone to fight the evil gods instead, asking whether the other world had a rule requiring Tonghua herself to go.

Ch. 335Chapter 335

Chen Li and the group helped Tonghua lure the world’s evil gods into a battle inside the Friends Circle, while Tonghua used cheap projections to attack them and collect their divinity. As the gods dwindled toward a final confrontation, a projection of Tonghua crept up behind the God of War.

  • Aqua proposed using Tonghua’s projections as disposable fighters, and Chen Li gave her the exclusive title “Poisonous Strategist.”
  • Tonghua summoned serial-number 10086, prepared it for battle, and used the Ghoul Attractor and rice balls to draw every evil god into the Friends Circle.
  • Tonghua’s projection joined the battle with God Must Dies and other Miraculous Items, while Tonghua stayed behind to summon replacements and equip them.

Ch. 336Chapter 336

  • Chen Li snapped his fingers and opened countless Imaginary rifts behind him, though they did not release Spears of the Void.

Ch. 337Chapter 337

Chen Li captured The Heavenly Principles' Maintainer and brought her to the Astral Express, where the group realized Teyvat might be left without its Heavenly Principles. They sent Kitsune Saiguu toward her old world to establish a way back, then discovered Aha’s blessing had made everyone follow Aqua’s needlessly complicated plan.

  • Chen Li chased down The Heavenly Principles' Maintainer with God Must Die, defeated her, and captured her with golden threads.
  • Chen Li told the Astral Express crew he had earned rewards by killing The Heavenly Principles' Maintainer and carrying her away from Teyvat, but had no beacon or location coordinates to return her.
  • Kitsune Saiguu warned that capturing The Heavenly Principles' Maintainer might leave Teyvat without anyone to maintain the Heavenly Principles.
  • Aqua proposed using the Peaceful Longbow to send Kitsune Saiguu to one of her acquaintances in Teyvat, and the group used the bow before realizing they could have used Slap Gloves instead.
  • Aha explained that his masks had made the group’s blessings of Elation and intellect resonate, causing them to follow Aqua’s plan, and his figure began to fade.

Ch. 338Chapter 338

Aha withdrew the 67% of Joy power he had lent Aqua but left her mask imbued with power comparable to an Envoy, which Chen Li divided between himself and Aqua. The group then learned that Kitsune Saiguu had died and entered a Revival Match, leaving them watching her face a mysterious opponent.

  • Aha explained that his resonance between Elation and Erudition had guided Aqua toward the most entertaining choice, then withdrew his power while leaving her a glowing mask.
  • Chen Li identified the mask’s remaining Elation power as nearly equal to an Envoy’s, upsetting Sparkle, who had hoped to become an Envoy of Joy first.
  • Chen Li broke Aqua’s mask apart, ate half to improve his resistance and save material for Sparkle’s Miraculous Item, then returned a quarter of it to Aqua.
  • Satou Kazuma used Steal to take Aqua’s mask, but Chen Li noticed that Kitsune Saiguu’s three Command Spells had dimmed.
  • Chen Li announced that Kitsune Saiguu had died and entered a Revival Match, then showed the group her battle against a scarred old man who summoned a sword.

Ch. 339Chapter 339

Ch. 340Chapter 340

Chen Li turned Raiden Ei into a tiny yingying creature to calm her, but she attacked him while he stole and ate the tricolor dango she offered to Kitsune Saiguu’s ashes. After Ei returned to normal and tried the dango, she caught Chen Li gathering up the ashes.

  • Chen Li removed the golden threads from Raiden Ei’s mouth and used Moe Ying Body to transform her into a tiny yingying creature.
  • Raiden Ei placed tricolor dango before Kitsune Saiguu’s ashes, and Chen Li repeatedly stole and ate the offerings.

  • Raiden Ei ate the dango and questioned Chen Li about its flavor before noticing him gathering Kitsune Saiguu’s ashes.

Ch. 341Chapter 341

Chen Li reassured Raiden Ei that Kitsune Saiguu had been revived as a Heroic Spirit and arranged for them to reconnect through messages. The chapter left Raiden Ei trying to cook a meal as Kitsune Saiguu’s requested punishment, while Chen Li prepared to eat whatever she made.

  • Chen Li explained that the powder was Starstone rather than Kitsune Saiguu’s ashes, then restored Raiden Ei’s broken Dreamlike One Heart.

  • Raiden Ei prepared sashimi, dumplings, candied sweet potatoes, and stew with dangerous ingredients and methods, while Chen Li watched in horror.

  • Chen Li messaged Kitsune Saiguu that he had persuaded Raiden Ei to stop feeling guilty, and Kitsune Saiguu accused him of trying to win Ei over.
  • Chen Li explained that he had only tricked Raiden Ei into cooking for Kitsune Saiguu, leaving Kitsune Saiguu to wonder whether the meal was meant to punish her.

Ch. 343Chapter 343

Chen Li promised to strengthen Kitsune Saiguu for the Revival Match and gave Raiden Ei Friends Circle Terminals, while Ei arranged to repeal Inazuma’s decrees and asked him to strengthen Raiden Makoto too. Chen Li left to continue his experiments, returning the Heavenly Principles’ Maintainer and leaving Kitsune Saiguu to learn that a blood-red meteor had appeared the day before.

  • Chen Li told Raiden Ei that he would strengthen Kitsune Saiguu in Heroic Spirit form, then gave Ei a Friends Circle Terminal and ten more for Inazuma.

Raiden Ei ordered Yae Miko summoned and tasked Kujou Sara with collecting Ouroboros’s bones, then learned Yae Miko had been turned into a ball. Meanwhile, Chen Li shared fragments of the Path of Voracity with the group and devoured Ouroboros before escaping through a black hole, leaving the Astral Express with a huge increase in Trailblaze energy.

Ch. 346Chapter 346

Chen Li tested his Otto Miraculous Item, helped Kitsune Saiguu prepare for the Revival Match, and strengthened her and Baiheng with stigmata. The chapter left Kitsune Saiguu still uncertain about her match and Baiheng upset over her new Exclusive Profession, Vehicle Killer.

Ch. 347Chapter 347

Chen Li considered forging a Two-star Miraculous Item by combining the I'll Help You Miracle Card with the Friends Circle, which might let him assist friends in Revival Matches.

  • Jingliu confirmed that she had written Baiheng's name on three Resurrection Cards and hoped Baiheng would win the Revival Match and return.

Ch. 348The Absurd [Two-Star Curio] and Acheron’s “Wonderful” Experience

Chen Li was repeatedly summoned by Little Herta, Great Herta, and others through the Miracle Card, then found himself in Sparkle’s bathroom at Cecilia’s house.
