Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Du Bei ignores Yu Xiaogang’s prolonged arguments criticizing him and Shrek Academy. He is especially skeptical of Shrek’s dangerous philosophy that students who do not dare to cause trouble are “mediocrities,” viewing the academy’s high mortality rate as exploitation rather than education.
• Desperate to persuade Du Bei to take Xiao Wu to Shrek, Yu Xiaogang offers him 3,000 Gold Soul Coins, claiming the money is personally sponsored. Du Bei accepts without hesitation, largely to humiliate and profit from him.
• Yu Xiaogang leaves with Tang San after securing Du Bei’s agreement. Tang San misunderstands the situation, interpreting his teacher’s willingness to spend so much money as proof of Yu Xiaogang’s great righteousness and devotion to him.
• Xiao Wu expresses concern about attending Shrek, but Du Bei reassures her that they can simply inspect the academy and leave if they dislike it. They have no obligation to remain there.
• Du Bei escorts Xiao Wu to her graduation examination but does not enter, believing his presence would be inappropriate and that Xiao Wu is strong enough to dominate the assessment anyway.

Character Developments

• Du Bei remains cynical, opportunistic, and contemptuous of Shrek Academy’s ideals. He manipulates Yu Xiaogang into paying him while planning only to visit Shrek temporarily.
• Yu Xiaogang becomes increasingly desperate and humiliated. He suppresses his anger because of Tang Hao’s orders and sacrifices his savings to accomplish his mission.
• Tang San grows even more devoted to Yu Xiaogang, wrongly viewing the expensive bribe as evidence of his teacher’s noble character. He continues comparing Yu Xiaogang favorably to his own father.
• Xiao Wu demonstrates that living with Du Bei has given her more sensible values. She distrusts Shrek’s dangerous philosophy and relies on Du Bei’s judgment.

• Female rivalry and unresolved resentment: The quarrel between Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong reflects their shared history with Yu Xiaogang and the bitterness surrounding betrayal and romantic competition.
• Humor through conflict: The chapter turns serious tensions into comedy through Du Bei’s indifference, Tang San’s mistaken assumptions, and the chat group’s chaotic banter.
• Progress through chaos: The group’s upgrade is triggered not by cooperation or strategy, but by an explosive argument, emphasizing the story’s comic and unpredictable tone.

Character Interactions

• Du Bei and Xiao Wu: Du Bei reassures Xiao Wu that visiting Shrek does not mean joining it, reinforcing their trusting partnership.

Chapter Summary: "The Private Room Access Permission That Couldn't Be Revoked"

1. Key Plot Points & Events

The chapter opens with the Secret Room Chat Group distributing competition rewards after reaching Level 2:

• First place: Liu Erlong receives a 100,000-year Whale Rubber (鲸胶) and a thick pile of self-study manuals
• Third place: Du Bei receives an Immortal Herb (Aromatic Silk Beauty) and a 700-year torso bone

New developments

• Group upgrades to Level 2 — New rule implemented: members cannot harm one another, directly or indirectly
• New member incoming — The system announces a new participant will join within three days
• Liu Erlong's frustration — She's disgusted with her reward (the Whale Rubber is a stamina-enhancement item for men, and she's been given a mountain of books to study)
• Trade arrangement — "Already an Uncle" (Du Bei) offers to trade for Liu Erlong's Whale Rubber. After tense negotiations, she agrees to meet privately and grants him access to her secret room
• Bibi Dong's failed revoke — Realizing Du Bei could exploit his privileges, Bibi Dong tries to revoke his permission to enter her private room — only to find the permission is locked and cannot be changed
• Surprise reveal — Du Bei was already lounging on Bibi Dong's bed in her secret room the entire time, waiting
• Chapter cliffhanger — When Liu Erlong grants him entry to her secret room, the system congratulates Du Bei (the Host) on unlocking his second secret room and issues an exclusive reward

2. Character Developments

• Bibi Dong — Panics at the thought of Du Bei entering her room; her attempt to lock him out fails—the permission is permanent. Shows vulnerability and personal embarrassment beneath her Pope persona
• Liu Erlong — Shows a tsundere streak: outwardly enraged and dismissive about her reward, but reluctantly agrees to the trade. Her "grudges are grudges, business is business" exchange reveals a pragmatic streak
• Xiao Wu — Displays her innocent, rabbit-like confusion about adult topics; easily lured into the meeting room by curiosity

3. Significant Themes

• Irrevocable access / loss of control — The chapter's central theme: Bibi Dong cannot revoke what the system has locked, signaling that Du Bei's presence in her life is permanent

• System authority overriding personal autonomy — The chat group's rules (no harming members, locked permissions) supersede even the Pope of Spirit Hall's will

• As evidence, they show Du Bei clothing still carrying the stench and an embroidery needle found among their belongings.
• Du Bei realizes that the theft was probably connected to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, whom he considers shameless and underhanded enough to carry out such a scheme.
• Although furious over losing the Soul Bone, Du Bei decides not to punish the three men severely, reducing their benefits and reminding them that he will still need their help in Notting City.
• After his subordinates leave, Du Bei dramatically mourns the financial loss and takes out his frustration by hugging and tickling Xiao Wu.
