Recaps

Cheng Qi rebuilt his power with scavenged technology, found the Muon Research Center, and recovered a weapon that let him defeat Lord Pig and E Luo. He began organizing scavengers and trading for gene catalysts, while preparing to expand his operation.

• E Luo seized Cheng Qi’s reserved dump and attacked him, leaving Foolish Boy’s body and memory core destroyed, but Cheng Qi used his Crystal Bracer to build a new robot that spoke like Foolish Boy.
• Cheng Qi synthesized advanced gear, including flight shoes and an XXX-01 memory metal armor, then defeated Hyena Luke after Hyena tried to rob him of his amorphous alloy.
• Cheng Qi traded amorphous alloy to Mo for gene catalysts and learned from Huo Linzhong’s locator box that the Muon Research Center was hidden in Kyoto.
• Cheng Qi and Foolish Boy fought through swarms of Killer Rats to enter the research center, where Huo Linzhong’s projection revealed that he had anticipated Cheng Qi’s arrival.
• Cheng Qi found Huo Linzhong’s skeleton and music box, synthesized a First-Generation Muon Fusion Catalytic Reactor, and promised to advance muon technology.
• Cheng Qi returned to the garbage heaps and used the muon reactor to kill Lord Pig and leave E Luo mortally wounded after learning that they had killed Xiao Qiong’s mother.
• Cheng Qi offered E Luo’s followers and other scavengers paid work, while the Scavenger Alliance investigated the trench and Mo delivered gene catalysts in biological-powered transport boxes.
• Cheng Qi sold high-entropy alloy to Mo for a large deposit and gene catalysts, then gave Monkey capital and showed the scavengers a scale that could value technological scrap.

Cheng Qi built an underground shelter to survive the Gray Storm, then evolved into a Dual Gene Sequence bearer and uncovered a way to save Mo’s family. After amassing high-entropy alloy and warning Mo about the poisoning, Cheng Qi left his companions in the shelter and went to investigate the arriving Interstellar Alliance combat squad.

• Cheng Qi refused Monkey’s offer to join the others, built an underground shelter with the Earth Dragon King, and moved his supplies and companions inside before the Gray Storm struck.
• Cheng Qi synthesized failed gene serums and took Valente Fantasy Drug, advancing first to D-Level and then to C-Level after surviving a dangerous transformation.
• Cheng Qi drank the Tree of Life - Balanced Sequence Liberation Drug and became a Dual Gene Sequence bearer, gaining crystalline traits and the ability to resonate with and control machines.
• After learning that Mo’s High-Energy Protein Extract contained a slow-acting toxin, Cheng Qi traveled to Kyoto to find Song Dayi’s research and a way to save Mo’s family.
• Cheng Qi discovered the Gene Research Institute beneath a garbage heap and met the transformed white mouse that became his companion, Zhi Zhi, and the ruler of more than 145 million Killer Rats.
• Cheng Qi collected nearly 50,000 blocks of impure amorphous alloy and synthesized them into 12,450 blocks of high-entropy alloy, which he showed to Mo.
• Cheng Qi identified Mo’s poisoning, gave him blood to neutralize the toxin, and warned him that the family physician might be involved.
• After Mo warned Cheng Qi about the combat squad’s unexplained weapons, Cheng Qi sent his companions back to the shelter and went alone to investigate the squad at Scavenger Alliance headquarters.
