Chapter Summaries

Chen Li forged an Otto doll with Preservation and Elation traits, then Baiheng tested it by targeting Jingliu. The doll’s mockery enraged Jingliu, and Chen Li warned that she needed to vent before anyone put it away.

• Chen Li returned to find Baiheng and Jingliu waiting, and he gave Baiheng the doll despite warning that it could ruin her mood.

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.

• Jingliu battered Chen Li’s Soul Steel Otto doll with sword energy, but it survived and regenerated while Chen Li and Baiheng calmed her down.

• Baiheng received the Exclusive Profession Vehicle Killer and complained that its name mocked her history of crashing Starskiffs while surviving.

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. Little Herta realized the card could potentially let Chen Li remain beside a participant without attacking, and the chapter ended as she recognized the possibility.

• Jingliu confirmed that she had written Baiheng's name on three Resurrection Cards and hoped Baiheng would win the Revival Match and return.
• Chen Li explained that the I'll Help You Miracle Card might let him support Revival Match participants, but a Two-star Artifact could be needed to overcome the match's rules.

• Little Herta heard that Chen Li might enter Revival Matches as a substitute and realized the card did not specify how long he could stay if he did not attack.

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. After Sparkle explained she had come to help him before he forged a Two-star Artifact, Chen Li threatened to take back the Miraculous Item he had reforged for her.

• Little Herta summoned Chen Li, put a Machine Spirit-powered lollipop in his mouth, and told him to keep it there until she summoned him again.

• Sparkle disguised herself as Raiden Mei and scrubbed Chen Li’s back, then left with photos and planned to report him to Acheron.

Sparkle tracked down Sampo and insisted on taking him to face Acheron, while Chen Li reforged Friends Circle into a Two-star Artifact. Its new functions let users borrow or summon friends’ abilities, though both came with costly requirements, leaving everyone debating how to get started.

• Sparkle surprised Sampo after returning to her world and persuaded him to take her to meet Acheron.
• Chen Li forged Friends Circle into a Two-star Artifact with Elysia, Vill-V, Sakuya, Pardo, and Kiana watching.

• Chen Li explained that Friends Circle could summon friends for support, build Bonds, and unlock skills and exclusive formalwear, but the system required Friendship Points or Starstones to pull characters.
• Houraisan Kaguya complained about the lack of Starstones and Friendship Points, and Chen Li explained that he was everyone’s free default support character.

Chen Li and his friends experimented with ways to earn Friendship Points, turning his abilities into a source of points while the others crowded around Eden’s newly unlocked skill store. Chen Li then asked Baiheng to give him her special Dragon Transformation trait, and she agreed as the chapter explained its connection to her death and Bailu’s birth.

• Chen Li borrowed Eden’s Echo ability and used Tai Xu Sword God attacks on the Otto doll, earning enough Friendship Points for Eden to unlock the store and attract everyone’s attention with its vast skill selection.
• Chen Li pressured Baiheng to contribute a special Dragon Transformation trait, and she agreed; the chapter recounted how her failed resurrection led to Bailu’s birth and left Baiheng with the power to become an Abomination Dragon.

Chen Li stole Baiheng’s dragon-transforming Noble Phantasm, then Satou Kazuma’s Steal took Kitsune Saiguu’s panties instead of her countdown. Kitsune Saiguu entered a Revival Match against Odin, where Chen Li appeared to fight for her despite the arena’s restrictions on Miraculous Items.

• Chen Li summoned IX in the Revival Match, and its expansion consumed him, Kitsune Saiguu, and the King of the Gods; the King of the Gods died first, securing Chen Li’s victory.
• Chen Li explained that Miracle Cards let him use a single attack in the Revival Match, then Sirin confronted him about how many people had summoned him the night before.
