Chapter Summaries

After the Magic Cup round-robin ended and its finals drew widespread attention, Ron finished handling Tansang City's affairs and tested the spatial-transfer ability granted by his count title. He then entered the Dimensional Plane to investigate the Phantasmal Weeping Willow, whose effects remained unknown.

• Andy, Betty, Wodesen, and Luo Wei'er secured the top four spots and advanced to the Magic Cup finals as Magic Duel spread across the empire.
• Ron completed the handover of Tansang City and inspected his System Panel after finishing a side quest tied to a hotpot restaurant opening in the Western Frontier.
• Ron demonstrated his count title's spatial transfer to Yuna by traveling to Boke Town and appearing behind her, explaining that he could move only himself within his territory.
• Ron returned to the Flower Shop branch, sent Yuna home, and entered the Dimensional Plane to test the Phantasmal Weeping Willow.

Ron transplanted the Phantasmal Weeping Willow from the Cultivation Space into his flower shop so he could touch its branches and enter its Phantasmal World. After his spiritual sense arrived in the empty world, the willow’s spiritual sense entered him and gave him access rights.

• Ron planted the Phantasmal Weeping Willow in the Cultivation Space, then realized he could not physically touch its branches there.
• Ron transplanted the willow into his flower shop, where Husky and the employees initially reacted with alarm.
• With Yuna nearby for protection, Ron grasped a willow branch and sent a copy of his consciousness into the Phantasmal World.
• Ron entered the blank world and watched the Phantasmal Weeping Willow’s green spiritual sense enter his head, granting him access rights.

Ron explored the Phantasmal World’s creation and control abilities, then built a basic player system and registered Jolina and Husky. Their tests revealed that the world required users to hold a living Phantasmal Weeping Willow branch to enter, so Ron headed to the Dimensional Plane to grow another tree and test whether separate trees could connect.

• Jolina and Husky pointed out that entering the world required holding a willow branch, limiting it to nearby users.
• Ron tried using a severed branch, but it did not work, so he entered the Dimensional Plane to grow another Phantasmal Weeping Willow.

Ron discovered that second development let Phantasmal Weeping Willows merge their separate Phantasmal Worlds into a connected network. As he imagined spreading the network across the Human Empire, a message from the willow’s spiritual perception greeted him.

• Ron found that a newly grown Phantasmal Weeping Willow created a separate Phantasmal World, then considered using it to make virtual games.

• Ron envisioned establishing Flower Shops as internet cafés throughout the Human Empire, then received a greeting from the Phantasmal Weeping Willow’s spiritual perception.

Ron discovered that the Phantasmal Weeping Willow’s spiritual sense could communicate with him and found a way to use a Puppet Fruit to create a portable connection to the Phantasmal World. He confirmed the device worked across Chaos City, then planned to test whether a real-person version Puppet Fruit could extend its reach between cities.

• Ron found that the Phantasmal Weeping Willow’s spiritual sense could only send simple signals, and considered cultivating its intelligence to manage the Phantasmal World.

• Ron tested the puppet from Chaos City toward the outskirts and found it remained connected until he was nearly in the wilderness.
• Ron considered using a real-person version Puppet Fruit to connect the Phantasmal World across greater distances.

Ron tested how the True Person Puppet extended the Phantasmal World’s reach and discovered that connecting two puppet avatars could fuse separate worlds. He planned to build an otherworldly internet, beginning with Chaos City, the Imperial Capital, and Tansang City.

• Ron tested the True Person Puppet near Tansang City and found that it extended the Phantasmal World’s connection range and gave nearby chibi puppets a signal for roughly five hundred meters.
• Ron carried the True Person Puppet to Boke Town and found that it could connect to the Phantasmal Weeping Willow in Tansang City across more than twenty kilometers.
• Ron opened a Flower Shop branch in Boke Town and transplanted another Phantasmal Weeping Willow there.
