• Lu Li offered a safe exit without surrendering equipment to whoever caught Shang Yiya, and the wolf-camp Players began identifying him.

• Okada Chusheng insisted he had no more life-saving items, while Miyamoto Yasuo vowed to kill him anyway.

Okada Chusheng transformed after Miyamoto Yasuo blew off his head, turning the battle in the Death Intent Cage against the exhausted swordsman. With less than ten minutes left, Xing Anlin suggested Miyamoto use an Evolution Potion against Okada.

• Okada Chusheng called on the seven Holy Lords and began transforming, but Miyamoto Yasuo struck first and blew apart his head.

• Miyamoto Yasuo resisted, abandoned his trapped sword, drew three more, and attacked with Three Thousand Worlds as Okada defended with growing ease.
• Miyamoto Yasuo’s swords chipped and his breathing grew ragged, so Xing Anlin told him to splash Okada with an Evolution Potion.

“Xing Anlin” guided Miyamoto Yasuo to defeat the mutated Okada Chusheng with Purification Potion, but Miyamoto’s challenge barrier kept them trapped together after the cage remained. When “Xing Anlin” dismissed the cage, Miyamoto tried to stab him for the powerful restraint item.

After leaving Fu Yuan'ai unharmed, Lu Li returned to the Central Shelter and asked Bao Quanyong to inscribe demonic script on a flesh-and-blood statue. He spent the next month speed-running Secret Realms, earned the hidden title Rule Changer, and prepared for his future journey to the Chen Family Domain.

• Lu Li put Hansel in charge of the casino and named Liu Wenjian acting boss before leaving the Secret Realm.
• After Lu Li departed, Hansel wondered whether whoever had chosen him resembled the King, since Lu Li’s mannerisms were exactly like his.

Lu Li made his final arrangements before leaving, deciding that Li Luo should stay behind to help Nikita with her class change. He went to the Capital City Central Shelter to summon the Myriad Realm Trader and begin a major trade.

• Lu Li rejected Li Luo's request to accompany him to the Chen Family Domain and persuaded her to personally assist Nikita through her class change.

• Yan Qi and Ao Zhan waited nervously with the Players and their trade resources, joking about whether to rob the Myriad Realm Trader.
• Lu Li arrived at the shelter, blew a conch shell, and summoned an elk bearing two huge bundles and a yellow-clad figure.

Lu Li used a Super Lollipop to secure a five-percent discount from the Yellow-clad Trader, who then displayed rare and exorbitantly priced goods. Lu Li arranged for the trader to forge his Ink Blade into a Mythic weapon, while learning that a Pseudo-Unique weapon required materials he could not yet obtain.

After the traders’ stall sold out, he paid for a chance to use the Yellow-clad Trader’s item enhancement service and heard the start of a puzzle about the traders’ sales contest.

• Yan Qi asked Lu Li to use his discount to buy goods for Huaxia’s officials, and Lu Li offered to waive the payment if they promised to help the Lin Family in a future disaster.
• Yan Qi agreed personally and said he would seek approval from the higher-ups, while Lu Li paid for Huaxia’s purchases.
• The Yellow-clad Trader prepared to leave after selling all his goods, but Lu Li stopped him to buy an item enhancement chance.
• Ao Zhan warned Lu Li that the service might be a scam, but Lu Li paid ten seventh-tier Origin Crystals for one question.
• The Yellow-clad Trader began a puzzle about the three colored traders, their unequal sales chances, and the consequences of failing to meet their sales targets.

Lu Li answered the Yellow-clad Trader’s first trading puzzle by choosing ordinary goods, then used the reward to enhance his Copy Mirror. He paid for a second question, which asked how to identify a fake among twelve Origin Crystals using a balance scale only three times.

• Ao Zhan proposed choosing premium goods, but Pan Xiaoxiao explained why that strategy would leave the Yellow-clad Trader vulnerable to defeat.
• Lu Li answered that the Yellow-clad Trader should choose common goods, and the trader confirmed it was correct.
• Lu Li handed over his Copy Mirror, and the Yellow-clad Trader enhanced it with the Minor Innovation trait.
• Lu Li paid another ten blue Origin Crystals, and the Yellow-clad Trader posed a puzzle about finding one fake tenth-tier Origin Crystal among twelve with three balance-scale uses.

• The Yellow-clad Trader challenged Lu Li to find the fake Origin Crystal within three weighings and barred Jin Guoxun from using his precognition Talent Ability.
• Lu Li marked the crystals after the first weighing, then used the second weighing to narrow down which group contained the fake.
• On the final weighing, Lu Li identified the heavier crystal as fake because the second weighing had ruled out the crystals marked with minus signs.
• The Yellow-clad Trader confirmed Lu Li's answer and enhanced his Copy Mirror to +2, raising its micro-innovation probability to 12%.
• The Yellow-clad Trader revealed that the fake crystal was a Mimic Bug egg and gave it to Lu Li as a reward.

Lu Li helped Pan Xiaoxiao solve the Origin Crystal puzzle and gave Ao Zhan the answer to the Yellow-clad Trader’s riddle, earning Ao Zhan an equipment enhancement. The trader then reacted violently to Lu Li’s World Seed Shell, leaving its significance unexplained.

• Lu Li explained how to compare the possible weighing outcomes, helping Pan Xiaoxiao identify the genuine Origin Crystals.
• Ao Zhan gathered ten seventh-tier Origin Crystals to use the trader’s final enhancement chance and faced the riddle about an animal that looked like a tiger but was cat-sized.

• The Yellow-clad Trader enhanced Ao Zhan’s Uncrowned King’s Belt, raising its level increase cap by five levels.
• The Yellow-clad Trader recognized the World Seed Shell Lu Li showed it and trembled in shock, while Lu Li said he had picked it up off the ground.

Before leaving for the Chen Family Domain, Lu Li hosted a banquet at the Central Shelter and distributed attribute food to the players, whose gratitude soon became excessive.

• The Yellow-clad Trader identified Lu Li’s World Seed Shell as a rare material and agreed to forge a pseudo-unique blade within one month.

• Lin Qinyue revealed that Lu Li was leaving Earth for another Star Domain the next day, and Xu Xiao anxiously asked whether he would return and what would happen to the Lin Family.
• Lin Qinyue speculated that Lu Li might be in danger or stay away for a long time, while Xu Xiao silently fretted over his departure.
• After the banquet, Lin Shu and Lin Ye helped the drunk Lin Qinyue leave, while Xu Xiao stayed behind and recalled her guilt over the Ghost Pregnant Woman incident.
• Xu Xiao waited after noticing Lu Li had left the main table, and Lu Li returned to say goodbye before teleporting away without waiting for her reply.
