Chapter Summaries

Mu You traded with a Beaver Tribe chartmaker for a detailed underground river map and a mysterious map fragment tied to the Fools’ ancestors. After studying the river map, he located Stanlo Freshwater Lake, where Froglet had said it was trapped.

• Mu You agreed to trade with the beaver and exchanged a Wooden Doppelgänger scroll for the Lan'er Empire Underground River Region Map.
• Mu You discovered the Beaver Tribe’s charts erased memories and destroyed copies, preventing him from copying the map by reversing time.

• The beaver gave Mu You a whistle to summon its kin for future trades, then departed.
• Mu You examined the underground river map, found Stanlo Freshwater Lake near the Imperial Capital, and noticed something unusual about it.

Mu You prepared for the operation to destroy the tower and explored the underground route toward Froglet, but a deliberate attack interrupted him at the channel entrance. After surviving the Suicide Fish in Ghost Form, he concealed himself to identify the attacker.

• Mu You discovered an underground river route to Froglet and redirected the Ghost Ship to Plum Blossom Town so he could investigate it before the tower operation.
• Mu You brewed 86 Evolution Potions from 100 ingredient sets and delivered 50 Common Grade potions to Nine Nether.
• Nine Nether distributed news of the potions to other factions, collected their ingredients, and told Mu You that the government had scheduled the tower-destruction operation for 11:30 p.m. on August 8.
• Mu You reached the underground channel entrance beneath Plum Blossom Town, where a firecracker-like object drew a school of Suicide Fish that killed him.
• Mu You turned back time, entered Ghost Form to survive the Suicide Fish, then used the Hermit card to become deeply invisible and watch for whoever had thrown the object.

Mu You captured a Goblin Engineer and its submarine, then crossed an underwater passage to Stanlo Freshwater Lake, where poisonous Flower-Planting Frogs guarded the lakebed. He found out Pocket Toad had survived by stealing the Frog King's Magic Fungus Spore Sac and had become the mate of the Frog King's beautiful Ice-Blue Green Frog offspring, with children of its own.

• Mu You used the Pocket Watch to rewind after the Goblin Engineer repeatedly self-destructed, then stunned it with Chin Knocker and captured it alive with Sleeping Potion.

• Mu You learned that the Flower-Planting Frogs had made the lakebed toxic and searched the lake for Pocket Toad while keeping clear of them.
• An Ice-Blue Frog delivered Pocket Toad's letter, revealing that Pocket Toad had stolen the Frog King's Magic Fungus Spore Sac, endured imprisonment, and won over the King's offspring, producing children with it.

Mu You demolished the snail-shell prison by drawing Suicide Fish into battle with the Flower-Planting Frogs, then rescued the Pocket Toad and recruited the frog princess as a Familiar. He returned to the Ghost Ship with both amphibians, only to find they had already produced more eggs.

• Mu You found the Pocket Toad imprisoned in a snail-shell nest with 108 tadpole children and learned that a mucus barrier blocked the escape tunnel he had dug.
• Mu You lured Suicide Fish to the nest with an incendiary stick, led them through the underground waterways, and brought them into conflict with the Flower-Planting Frogs.
• The explosions destroyed the nest and killed many of both species; Mu You collected Unstable Sulfur and plant seeds before escaping the poisonous lakebed.
• The Pocket Toad emerged from underground with the tadpoles, and Mu You put them in his Storage Bottle.
• The Flower-Planting Frog princess asked to leave with Mu You, agreed to become his Familiar, and joined the Pocket Toad in the bottle.
• Back aboard the Ghost Ship, Mu You discovered that the Pocket Toad and the Flower-Planting Frog had clasped together and laid another clutch of eggs.

Mu You received a pollen pouch from the Pocket Toad and cared for the frogs’ unusual offspring before attending the Secret Art Meeting. There, he met the new occupant of Taurus’s seat, a being from the Star Spirit World who called himself Lord of the Abyss-Qiongsen Maiqiu​​li.

• The Pocket Toad gave Mu You the Magic Fungus Spore Sac, which contained pollen from poisonous plants, then left with the flower-growing frog and entrusted him with their children.
• Mu You examined the 108 tadpoles and 223 fertilized eggs, identified the offspring as a sterile new species, and named it Bulbasaur before moving them into a fish tank.
• Mu You prepared his Lightning Ball Spell cards and Reaper Contracts, then attended the Secret Art Meeting with his Wooden Doppelganger.

Mu You questioned the Abyss Lord about her background and set conditions for her to join the Mystic Arts Association, then scheduled the assault on the Arcane Tower for the following night and prepared for it. He entered the snowy world with Lin Xue and Xiao Ya to hunt monsters and gain experience before the operation.

• Mu You privately questioned the Abyss Lord, who said she lived in the Lohmadi Great Abyss, and required her to bring an Abyss Wyvern and use a Reaper Contract before she could join the Mystic Arts Association.

• Mu You returned to the Snowfield and called Blood Emperor to warn that the Arcane Tower was likely a deception.
• Blood Emperor halted the prepared force while Nine Nether weighed the warning against Yakov’s objections and chose a safer landing site near the Guard Camp.
• The players descended onto an unoccupied wooded hill, and West Wind investigated the Arcane Tower with Morning Star’s Locator ready to bring him back.
• West Wind returned badly wounded and confirmed the tower was fake, so Nine Nether ordered the force to advance toward the wizard tower and updated support personnel.
• The operation’s new target and assignments were relayed to elite players, and Chinese media announced a national mobilization to destroy the tower.

China’s nationwide mobilization flooded the Lan’er Empire with players, disrupting the Imperial Capital and drawing foreign powers into action. Amid the chaos, Mu You and Lin Xue revived Vivian and Lin Xue’s grandmother in stronger bodies, while Nine Nether’s unit was exposed near the Wizard Tower and intercepted by the legendary Elder Hermann.

• The authorities called players across China to attack Wizard Towers while avoiding civilians and ordinary Wizards, and players nationwide logged in to harass the Lan’er Empire’s forces.

• Mu You and Lin Xue transferred their souls into Vivian and Lin Xue’s grandmother, then used the Reaper Contract and stored energy to raise their levels to 25 and 23 before sending them toward the city.
• Nine Nether’s airborne unit reached the cemetery near the Wizard Tower, where a Chimera’s acidic dragonfire dispelled their War Fog and exposed all ninety-eight members.
• The Chimera’s riders confronted the unit: a Black-Robed Man and the level-28 White-Robed One, Hermann, one of the Wizards’ Association’s legendary founders.

• Mu You struck the man in white with Magic Power Interruption, and Lin Xue landed the tenth scythe slash, summoning the God of Death.
• The man in white identified Vivian as a remnant soul inhabiting a corpse, then tried to flee before the God of Death extracted and devoured his soul.

• Mu You collected the White-Robed One’s storage ring and discovered an Arcanist’s Clearheaded Shawl and a sealed Breeding Pouch among his belongings.

• The Yellow-Robed One, Purple-Robed Man, and Green-Robed One learned that the White-Robed One had died and that Vivian had returned, but they failed to secure help from the other bases.
• The three Elders refused to summon the Black-Robed One’s group from the Secret Realm, then heard that the Fools had broken into the Wizard Tower.

Lin Xue and the players charged into the Wizards' Association's defenses, drawing the Elders away from the Wizard Tower while Mu You and Vivian's original body attacked it from above. Mu You entered the tower, and the Yellow-Robed One revealed that Vivian had grown up there and knew it better than anyone.

• Lin Xue led the assault force through the knights' formation with the players' storm-enhanced spells, while her scythe left Red Spider Lilies that made the defenders reluctant to attack.
• The Magic Crystal Cannon and two Elders stopped the assault, forcing Lin Xue and the players to retreat beyond its range as both sides faced off across the flowers.
• The Two-Headed Chimera attacked the tower from above, and Mu You used its acid breath and fatal collision to destroy the Magic Crystal Cannon and break open the tower's summit.
• Mu You cast Annihilation Spell through the tower's magical restrictions and entered with Vivian's guidance, while the Yellow-Robed One and Green-Robed One rushed back to defend it.

Lin Xue and the players broke through the Wizards’ defenses and held the high ground while Vivian lured the Yellow-Robed One and the Green-Robed One away from the tower’s control room. Vivian and Mu You then began casting a Forbidden Spell, and a meteor shower engulfed the area around the Wizard Tower.

• Nine Nether led the players’ charge as Lin Xue broke through the enemy ranks, escaped a Legendary restraint with help from Nine Nether and Bluebeard, and drove the Wizards back.
• The Wizards’ morale faltered as the Wizard Tower’s floors went dark, and the players advanced to Mu You’s designated high ground before stopping to defend it.

After claiming a Dawn City map fragment and assessing the battle’s costs and rewards, Mu You examined the White-Robed One’s loot and uncovered a breeding facility built to mass-produce Chimeras.
