Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi and his teammates watched an Interstellar Treasure Hunting Company security chief slaughter his colleagues to steal a 300-million-Sali bounty, then used Nangong Ling’s illusion to impersonate five criminals. Their Main Quest required them to earn 50 billion Sali and leave Cloud Top Grand Mansion Hotel within seven days, and Cheng Xiao warned that escaping would be the real challenge.

• Lin Yi’s group heard the security team confirm a wanted-person match and decide to kill a concierge and frame the five of them.
• The security chief killed his fellow guards to seize the 300-million-Sali bounty, then tricked other guards into turning their backs before shooting them too.
• Lin Yi said he would let the chief claim the bounty and take the money from him later, while Nangong Ling accepted the plan as survival in the Dungeon.
• The five used Nangong Ling’s illusion to impersonate the criminals, endured a sleepless night of loud music, and received the Main Quest after breakfast.
• The Main Quest demanded 50 billion Sali within seven days and a successful exit from Cloud Top Grand Mansion Hotel; Lin Yi linked the inflated target to his difficulty-raising title, and Cheng Xiao identified leaving as the true obstacle.

Lin Yi learned that Cheng Xiao’s [Truth] could reconstruct things but could not manipulate time, and that Endless Oasis gave players ten lever choices despite its jackpot having odds of one in 92.6 billion. Lin Yi took a seat and planned to buy marbles, relying on his Gravity Domain without making his cheating obvious.

• Cheng Xiao explained that [Truth] let him understand and recreate things, but only [Eternal] could freeze or reverse time, and using his ability took a toll on him.
• A casino assistant explained the Endless Oasis rules and its ten player-controlled levers to Lin Yi and the others.
• Cheng Xiao calculated that even perfect lever choices gave each marble only a one-in-92.6-billion chance of reaching the jackpot, and suspected the casino had tampered with the machine.
• Lin Yi sat down and planned to buy a batch of marbles, intending to use his Gravity Domain discreetly so the casino would not catch him cheating.

Lin Yi used his Gravity System skills to guide a flood of marbles through the stages of Endless Oasis while buying more marbles and increasing the firing speed. The venue erupted in celebration when one of his marbles entered the final Oasis Region, drawing the attention of every player.

• Lin Yi spent five hundred million on 50,000 ordinary marbles and launched them at 10,000 rounds per minute.
• Lin Yi watched only a small number of marbles survive the Quicksand Region and Gobi Region, while the heavy ordinary marbles struggled in the Rapids Region.

• A marble entered the Oasis Region, triggering music and flashing lights that stunned the other players.

Lin Yi drew a crowd on the twenty-seventh floor as he spent heavily trying to clear the Endless Oasis, while casino executive Dulan watched from a surveillance room. The pinballs failed to reach Heavenly Waterfall, and Dulan revealed that the Divine Giant Soldiers were set to automatic recognition mode, making a breakthrough impossible.

• Gamblers gathered to watch Lin Yi challenge the fifth zone, and he released two controlled pinballs before spending another two billion Sali on more pinballs.

• Dulan asked about the Divine Giant Soldiers, and his confidant explained that automatic recognition mode adjusted the fans to guarantee every pinball was knocked away.

Lin Yi used the Oasis Region’s levers and Gravity Domain to build a rapidly accelerating circuit of marbles after the casino secretly altered the Divine Giant Soldiers’ speed to block him. As Dulan realized Lin Yi had found a way to cheat without leaving evidence, a sudden change appeared on the screen.

• Lin Yi sent dozens of marbles into the Oasis Region and guided three toward the Divine Giant Soldiers, but their fans sped up briefly and knocked all three away.
• Lin Yi, Cheng Xiao, and Nangong Ling recognized that the casino had cheated by changing the soldiers’ fan speed.

• Dulan realized Lin Yi was using Gravity Domain to cheat but could find no evidence to stop him.
• A sudden change appeared on the giant screen.

• Lin Yi redirected his marble dragon toward the Divine Giant Soldiers, and hundreds of marbles overwhelmed their blades and passed into Heavenly Waterfall.
• The gamblers recognized that the casino had been changing the fans’ patterns and erupted in anger over the apparent cheating.
• Dulan ordered the staff to overclock the fans, and both Divine Giant Soldiers overheated and stopped spinning.
• Dulan apologized to Lin Yi, blamed the failure on poor maintenance, suspended other players’ games, and offered Lin Yi 50,000 Special Gel Marbles.
• Lin Yi narrowed his eyes at Dulan as the two men faced each other for their final showdown.

Lin Yi discovered that Magic-Sealing Stone throughout the twenty-seventh floor had suppressed his skills, leaving him unable to control the marbles through the final Bedrock of the Gods checkpoints. He used the Heavenly Foundation Bedrock and his vast Sali reserves to prepare a last-moment breakthrough, spending currency to obtain the Skill Points he needed.

• Lin Yi watched most of his marbles get swept off course by Heavenly Waterfall and fall into the Abyss before they could reach the five final discs.
• Dulan stood beside Lin Yi and politely urged him to focus on the game, while Lin Yi recognized that the manager was challenging him to continue without relying on his skills.

• Lin Yi received a notification that he could spend Great Xia Coins, Blue Star Coins, or Sali on idle rewards, and began using his more than six billion Sali to buy Skill Points.

Lin Yi spent billions of Sali to buy Skill Points and advanced his Gravity System skill into the Ancient Forbidden Spell Earth Collapse Heavenly Ruin. After a vision of the microscopic world and the Gate of Truth, he discovered his Gravity Domain had grown far stronger, while Cheng Xiao lamented how easily Lin Yi received chances to comprehend laws.

• Lin Yi tried to release his newly strengthened Gravity Domain and was utterly shocked.

Lin Yi overcame the Magic-Sealing Stone’s suppression, used Gravity Scan to uncover the casino’s underground mining operation, and regained control of the marbles. He exposed the Endless Oasis machine’s tilted discs as a scam, leaving Dulan horrified as the crowd began to notice.

• Lin Yi expanded his Gravity Domain across the planet and used Gravity Scan to discover the hotel sat deep underground on a Magic-Sealing Stone mining world, where debtors such as Ghost Hand Wu were forced to work.
• Lin Yi withdrew his domain and resumed controlling the marbles, while Dulan’s Magic-Sealing Stone failed to suppress him.
• Lin Yi sent marbles through Heavenly Waterfall and into the first disc of the Endless Oasis game, drawing cheers from the crowd.
• Lin Yi let the marbles accumulate away from the disc’s opening, and Dulan realized Lin Yi was revealing the machine’s hidden tilt.
• The crowd noticed that the marbles were gathering far from the opening, and Dulan grew increasingly alarmed as gamblers began suspecting a scam.

• The first disk filled with Lin Yi’s marbles, and several gamblers turned on Dulan as the casino’s cheating became obvious.

Lin Yi killed Interstellar Treasure Hunting Company director Nick with Gravity Crush, and Cheng Xiao revealed that Nick had been a Half-step Emperor Rank expert. As fleets of Galaxy Hunters, Space Pirates, and company security forces surrounded Hartland to capture Lin Yi, Cheng Xiao realized that Lin Yi’s head was worth an enormous bounty.

• Lin Yi stored the treasures and kept the executives’ jump ship intact so the group could leave Hartland.
• After the rock above Cloud Top Grand Mansion was blasted open, Lin Yi and his companions saw a thousand spacecraft converge on them.
• Lin Yi used Gravitational Domain: Chaos to scramble gravity around the spacecraft, causing them to collide and break apart.

Lin Yi and his group escaped Cloud Top Entertainment City and earned an SSS Rank dungeon clearance, then Lin Yi chose a reward that would guarantee a Profession Department skill after his next class advancement. He returned to the Imperial Capital as the dungeon gate displayed seven lights instead of four.

• Lin Yi’s actions caused the Cloud Top Entertainment City Dungeon’s difficulty to rise to Tier 7, and Feng Sanyou and Sun Dachuan thanked him for helping them earn valuable rewards.
