• Mu You found Spindle Granny, learned she was an old friend of the Farming Elder, and accepted a quest to gather spider-silk cotton so she could repair his fishing net.
• Mu You traveled to the Green Satchel Tribe, harvested forty-two portions of cotton with the Harvest Horn, and was ambushed and killed by a concealed Forest Troll assassin.

• Mu You found the dead Knowledge Ancient Tree and its Logging Axe, then placed the tree in his backpack space.
• Mu You tried to revive the tree with Crazy Growth, but it did not respond; only a Sprite might be able to restore it.

Mu You planted and accelerated a Tree of Life near the Troll cave, then spent two days grinding Trolls and crafting potions until he earned enough Elf Race reputation to begin Marksmanship and Night Vision training. He was called to join an emergency Anomaly Investigation Bureau mission after thousands of Fishmen appeared near the Yangtze River, and he suspected the invasion was connected to the Illuminati’s planned operation.

• Mu You handed the captured Troll to the ranger captain, completed the investigation quest, and accepted a repeatable quest to kill Trolls emerging from the cave.

• Mu You reached 3,000 Elf Race reputation and started Marksmanship and Night Vision training at the Elf Training Hall.
• Zhang Yang summoned Mu You to a field assignment, and the two boarded a military helicopter with veteran players from K City's Anomaly Investigation Bureau.
• Zhang Yang revealed that thousands of Fishmen had appeared near a town by the Yangtze River, and Mu You suspected the outbreak was connected to the Illuminati’s planned operation.

Zhang Yang explained the secret gates between Earth and the Star Spirit World and warned that destroying the wizards’ towers would be far harder than expected. He led Mu You and the K City team to reinforce a Yangtze River defense line, where they found Section Nineteen abandoned and Fishmen close to breaking through.

• Zhang Yang told the team that gates connected Earth to the Star Spirit World, and that major factions, including the Dragon Group, possessed them.
• Zhang Yang revealed that an American attempt to destroy an Arcane Tower with nuclear weapons had failed, and that the Lan'er Empire faced even stronger defenses.
• Zhang Yang explained that a likely underwater gate near the Yangtze River was unleashing Fishmen, while military forces struggled to defend more than seventy sectors.
• Mu You and the K City team arrived in Y City and saw Fishmen overwhelm the trenches as the few players on the defensive line ran short of Magic Power.
• Headquarters directed Zhang Yang's team to Section Nineteen, where Mu You saw no defenders and Fishmen climbing over the trenches.

Mu You helped the K City Anomaly Investigation Branch hold its defensive line against waves of Fishmen, using Liu Chen’s Convergence Spell to make his fireballs more effective. The experience from the battle let Mu You reach level ten and evolve, and he offered the Evolution Potion Zhang Yang had requested for him to Liu Chen.

• Mu You stabilized a breached section of the trench with a fireball and Binding Grass, then worked with Liu Chen to gather and burn through the Fishmen.
• Mu You and Liu Chen repeatedly combined Convergence and fireballs to wipe out later waves while the branch repaired the line and Little Spider devoured the corpses.

• Mu You checked his game, reached level ten, drank an Evolution Potion, and gained permanent bonuses to damage dealt and damage taken.
• Zhang Yang told Mu You he had requested an Evolution Potion for him, and Mu You suggested giving it to Liu Chen instead.

Mu You and his team survived increasingly dangerous waves of fishmen while learning that twenty-nine God-Level Players had entered the Otherworld gate to investigate a likely trap. The next assault began with intelligent fishman mages, leaving the team facing an even greater threat.

• Mu You gave Old Liu an Evolution Potion, and Old Liu accepted it, promising to help Mu You gain experience.
• Zhang Yang explained that the God-Level Players had entered the gate to investigate a deliberate attack and its suspected mastermind.
• A stronger fishman wave arrived with giant sea turtles, but Mu You and his team defeated most of the attackers and endured the assault.
• Reinforcements helped the other defensive lines survive the wave, though the monsters had caused casualties.
• Less than twenty minutes later, fishmen attacked again with sea turtles and spellcasting fishman mages, whose attributes shocked Mu You.

Mu You and the soldiers endured a Fishman assault complicated by contagious plague, then learned the attacks were being drawn by an Ancient Altar beyond the gate. He agreed to join an elite mission to the swamp and received equipment and a teleportation mark before heading out.

• Mu You warned Zhang Yang that Murloc Voodoo Priests could spread a deadly plague, but the warning reached the defensive lines too late to prevent widespread infections and casualties.
• Mu You and his team fought through the plague-infected assault, while the other defensive lines adapted and eventually held off the Fishmen at heavy cost.
• The Fishmen's attacks weakened, and Mu You rested after the military took over Section Nineteen.
• Zhang Yang told Mu You that an Ancient Altar in a Giant Swamp was drawing the Fishmen and that the Ten Commandments Society was fighting the God-Level Players trying to dismantle it.
• Mu You agreed to join an elite reinforcement mission beyond the gate and accepted a Vampire Magatama and a Teleportation Mark from Zhang Yang.

Mu You joined a group of allied experts as they crossed into the Rotten Poison Swamp and began traveling through it. After watching the group quickly dispatch several Magical Beasts, he noticed an Ice Emperor woman summon a Shadow Warhawk and suspected she might be Sagittarius.

• Zhang Yang showed Mu You the damaged gate in the river, and Mu You crossed it with Vivian into the Rotten Poison Swamp.
• Wang Jie welcomed Mu You to the Anomaly Investigation Bureau team, and the group’s leader explained their rules and precautions before they set out.
• The group traveled deeper into the swamp, where its leader warned them about mud traps and hidden poison-type Magical Beasts.
• The group quickly killed a Water Arrow Poison Frog and several other monsters, leaving Mu You unable to land a hit or farm them.
• Mu You saw an Ice Emperor woman summon a Shadow Warhawk and wondered whether she was Sagittarius.

Mu You left the doomed reinforcement group and hunted alone in the swamp, where he discovered an enemy spy and captured him. He headed north afterward, planning to hide and attend the Secret Art Meeting, where several Mystic Arts Association members might confront one another.

• Flowers in the Mist warned the group that a flock of Swamp Wyverns was approaching, and the ensuing battle overwhelmed the players with stacking poison and repeated deaths.
• A second, larger flock approached, forcing the leaders to split the group into small teams; Mu You had already teleported away alone.
• Mu You switched to the Vampire Skin, summoned Warhawk and other creatures, restored his Magic Power, and hunted monsters while making his way north.
• Mu You spotted a hidden observer among the monsters, lured him closer, then used the Chain Claw, Throat-Sealing Curse, and Cripple to disable him.
• Mu You teleported out of the encirclement with the captive, made him drink a sleeping potion, and put him in his backpack before seeking a secluded place for the Secret Art Meeting.

Mu You was trapped in a shrinking storage bottle by a Black-Robed Man from the Ten Commandments Society, who had lured him inside to avenge Werewolf. Unable to teleport out and cut off from his summoned creatures, Mu You learned the man was an NPC and faced him alone inside the sealed bottle.

• Mu You looted an Illuminati member, restrained him as evidence, and headed deeper into the swamp to wait for midnight.
• The swamp transformed into a desert when Mu You discovered he had entered a shrinking storage bottle, whose cork blocked the exit and whose magic prevented teleportation.
• A Black-Robed Man attacked Mu You, and the Omniscient Crystal identified him as a level 19 mysterious individual rather than a player.
• Mu You failed to contact his summoned creatures, and the Black-Robed Man revealed he had killed them and used a Grand Illusion Scroll to lure Mu You into the bottle.
• The Black-Robed Man said he targeted Mu You because Mu You had killed Werewolf and taken the Chain Claw, which the man claimed had belonged to him.

Mu You stalled the Black-Robed Man and escaped through the Mystic Arts Association’s Teleportation Array to attend the Secret Art Meeting. There, he revealed the Illuminati and Ten Commandments Society’s role in the Sea Tribe Invasion and asked four members to lend him their secret arts.

• Mu You pretended to consider the Black-Robed Man’s offer to join the Ten Commandments Society while waiting for the Secret Art Meeting to begin.
• Mu You entered the Teleportation Array and vanished, leaving the Black-Robed Man waiting for his return.
• Mu You arrived at the Palace with Vivian, found Lin Xue attending as Pisces’s Successor, and welcomed her before starting the meeting.
• Mu You learned that Sagittarius was in the Rotten Poison Swamp and explained the Illuminati and Ten Commandments Society’s role in the Sea Tribe Invasion.
• Mu You gave Reaper Contract cards to Leo, Libra, Virgo, and Capricorn and asked them to lend him their secret arts for an hour after the meeting.

Mu You arranged support for his coming fight with the Black-Robed Man, promised several players potions, and traded for new spells at the meeting. He ended by suggesting that players seeking a route to the Imperial Capital gather in nearby riverside or coastal cities, though he could not yet guarantee passage.

• Mu You arranged for four veteran players to activate Reaper Contracts at three and four o'clock, and promised them potions in exchange for their support.
• Libra and Capricorn gave Mu You materials for four Evolution Potions, while Virgo asked him to brew two Stat Reset Potions within three months.
• Mu You traded cards and acquired Darkness Realm, Enduring Spell, and Wooden Doppelganger, promising Cancer and Aquarius spell scrolls in return.
• Scorpio gave Lin Xue the Netherfire Blast spell scroll, and Mu You also obtained a copy of it.
• Mu You told the players seeking the Imperial Capital to head to nearby riverside or coastal cities while he investigated a possible route.

Mu You returned to the Bottled Desert and fought the Black-Robed Man, using repeated resurrections, defensive spells, summons, and Mana Drain to exhaust the mage's reserves. After draining his mana and striking his vital spot, Mu You blocked the bottle's exit and declared passage forbidden.

• The Black-Robed Man ambushed Mu You with lightning spells, and Mu You survived the attacks through teleportation and resurrection.
• Mu You examined the new secret arts from the arriving Crystals and chose to outlast the Black-Robed Man by draining his mana.
• Mu You cast Frost Armor and Mana Drain, summoned creatures to bait the Black-Robed Man into spending mana, and repeatedly traded damage with him.
• The Black-Robed Man restored some mana with Greater Gospel Spell, but Mu You kept up his attacks until the mage tried to drink a Magic Potion.
• Mu You shot the potion from the Black-Robed Man's hand, then pursued him to the bottle's mouth and pierced his chest with Vampire Claws, reducing his health and mana to zero.
• After the Black-Robed Man resurrected, Mu You guarded the bottle's mouth and told him passage through was forbidden.

Mu You repeatedly killed the Black-Robed Man inside the bottle, using Black Magic summons and preventing him from drinking potions. After twelve deaths, the Black-Robed Man realized the escalating experience penalty could rapidly strip away his levels and leave him vulnerable to tier suppression.

• Mu You killed the Black-Robed Man again after his Mana Exchange scroll failed to help him, then overwhelmed him with fire, ice, and summoned creatures.
• The Black-Robed Man recognized Mu You as a Dark Wizard, but Mu You sent three high-level summons after him and stopped him from taking magic potions.
• Mu You and his summons killed the Black-Robed Man repeatedly, while each kill made the Fire Giant grow stronger until its time limit expired.
• Mu You summoned a new Fire Giant and continued blocking the Black-Robed Man's escape attempts, bringing his death count to twelve.
• The Black-Robed Man realized his death penalties would soon reduce his level drastically and eventually make him vulnerable to Mu You's tier advantage.

Mu You defeated the Black-Robed Man through hundreds of deaths, permanently killing him after stripping away his levels and equipment. He gained a new skin, powerful items, experience, reputation, and enough lifespan to nearly double his reserve, leaving him to recover and examine his spoils.

• Mu You repeatedly killed the Black-Robed Man until he fell to level 10 and dropped three Epic Grade equipment pieces, which Mu You collected.
• Mu You used the Netherworld Demon Child and the Blood Magatama to kill the Black-Robed Man until his lifespan was nearly exhausted.
• The Black-Robed Man begged for mercy and offered a ransom, then revealed that Master Quelch was his mentor.
• Vivian recognized the Black-Robed Man’s connection to Quelch and hinted that she knew about his Sun Scorch Syndrome.
• Mu You permanently killed the Black-Robed Man and gained the Mysterious Man skin, Cryptic Robe, Spatial Ring, Lightning Staff, experience, lifespan, and Evil Faction Reputation.
• Mu You recovered his stamina, tallied his gains, and inspected the effects of his new skin and equipment.

Mu You inspected the Black-Robed Man's loot, discovered his name was Rhodes and that he had attended Red Rose Academy, and equipped three pieces of Arcanist set gear that greatly improved his attributes. With his stamina restored, Mu You considered the bottle he was trapped inside to be the battle's greatest gain.

• Mu You switched to the Black-Robed Man's skin and found it carried temporary Swamp Affinity and Swamp God's Recognition effects.
• Mu You examined Rhodes's robe, Lightning Magic Wand, Spatial Ring, potions, Town Portal Scroll, and Red Rose Academy card.
• Mu You equipped the Arcanist Thunderwood Cuirass, Dragonbone Greaves, and Rune Belt, activating set bonuses and socketing the Blood Gem and Constitution Gem.
• Mu You allocated his five free attribute points, reaching level 11 with 51 Intelligence, 23 Constitution, 4,300 health, and 6,100 mana.
• After his stamina recovered, Mu You looked across the desert and recognized the bottle as the battle's greatest gain.

Mu You escaped the bottle and realized the Ten Commandments Society had trapped the battlefield with spatial interference. He reached the besieged reinforcements disguised as Rhodes, killed Gemini’s Fire Giant, and forced Gemini to begin retreating with a Town Portal Scroll.

• Mu You left the bottle, then deduced that the Ten Commandments Society had activated spatial interference to prevent the fighters from escaping or resurrecting elsewhere.
• Mu You found the reinforcement unit reduced to just over twenty people and surrounded by Swamp Magical Beasts and Illuminati members, including Gemini.
• Gemini mistook Mu You for Rhodes and used the name to demoralize the besieged fighters, but Mu You silenced Gemini and the monsters began to scatter.
• Flowers in the Mist recognized Mu You’s Netherworld Demon Child and thought Aries had arrived to help the reinforcements.
• The Fire Giant swallowed Mu You, but Mu You destroyed it within seconds, leaving Gemini terrified and prompting him to open a Town Portal Scroll.
