• Yang Yi kept his suspicion about the new players and the system’s urgency to himself because the system was monitoring everyone.

The Lost Ones Fleet shared information about Collectors, prompting Green Island to postpone its plan to capture one and instead prepare to explore Garbage Island. After system maintenance ended, Yang Yi inspected the updated Point Vending Machine and used Item Copy Cards to duplicate his weapons.

• Lada explained that Golden Merchants could become Collectors and warned that attacking one would provoke the Golden Commerce Guild, so the factions shelved their capture plan and chose to explore Garbage Island.
• The Lost Ones Fleet urged the players to prioritize taking Miracle Island, and Yang Yi added its members as friends because their names seemed familiar to him.

• Yang Yi and the other Players flew or climbed down into the canyon, while Wang Chong and Balot descended along the cliff.
• Yang Yi reached the canyon floor and saw the old amusement rides running as crowds of Madmen appeared, and the arriving Players entered the amusement park.

• Yang Yi bought experience vouchers, maps, and a strange drink that temporarily increased his Agility and maximum Sanity and slowly restored Sanity.
• Yang Yi divided his teammates into groups, told them to contact him if anything unusual happened, and sent them off to explore the amusement park.

• Yang Yi tried Dynamic Boxing and punched a madman hard enough to send it flying, earning points vouchers without triggering any system restriction.

Worried that Yang Yi could keep overcoming the games, Shi Lei began considering countermeasures and contacted Dara the Undying Witch for advice.

• Shi Lei monitored the rising Mad Laughter Points as players struggled with the amusement park’s rigged attractions.
• Cui Xiya used her flaming toy gun to hit more than a dozen moving balloons at the Galaxy Shooting Range, costing Moon Island a small number of points.
• Yang Yi struck the Dynamic Boxing attraction so hard that the Madman posing as a punching-power tester was sent flying and dropped tens of thousands of vouchers.

Yang Yi exploited the Amusement Park’s attractions for a huge haul of points before learning that the Lost Ones Fleet had imposed limits and that Sunday might be significant.

• Yang Yi traded Experience Tickets for Mad Laughter Valley vouchers and won more points by forcing his way through attractions, including setting the Screaming Haunted House ablaze.

• Wang Chong was challenged by a burly Madman to a marksmanship contest, with a High-level Artisan Inscription Stone offered as the prize.

Meanwhile, Yang Yi and his companions visited the Lost Ones Fleet’s base, where Lada explained how the building protected its occupants from Moon Island’s effects.

• Wang Chong began the spear contest by thrusting at Shi Lei, who bent and twisted to evade him while the spectators laughed.
• Wang Chong attacked with two spears and a burst of golden qi, but Shi Lei knocked him off balance with a bump and sent him crashing to the ground.

• Lada told Su Na that the Fleet had found the old building upon entering the canyon and put it to use.

Yang Yi followed a familiar sweet scent into the ruined basement beneath the Lost Ones Fleet’s building, where he encountered a pig-headed giant named Haozi. After Haozi attacked him, Daishi arrived and stopped the fight, leaving Yang Yi to identify the giant as a Feast Reveler.

• Su Na, Istil, and Dara discussed the Lost Ones Fleet and the world’s anomalous phenomena while Yang Yi listened from the sidelines.

• Yang Yi asked whether Haozi was a Feast Reveler.

Yang Yi uncovered Moon Island’s deception and returned to the Nightmare Star with an armor fragment suggesting the island had been conquered by the Radiant Holy Church before. Su Na warned him that Moon Island would be extremely dangerous on Sunday, but the danger only made Yang Yi more curious.

• Daishi explained that Haozi was a Feast Reveler who had overused his abilities, while Haozi ate Madmen in the pit to curb his cravings.
• Shi Lei admitted that Moon Island’s people had disguised themselves as Madmen to create amusement and restore the island’s power without causing casualties.
• Yang Yi rejoined the Lost Ones Fleet, declined Lu Lu’s friend request, and left Moon Island with his group after they agreed to meet Su Na’s side again on Steam Island.
• Cui Xiya complained that she had lost her Experience Tickets and borrowed points in a rigged shooting contest, though Cui Bisi reassured her that they could still afford a High-level Abyss Soul Stone.
• Yang Yi examined an Eagle Knight’s armor fragment and shared evidence of past battles on Moon Island with the fleet.
• Su Na relayed Lu Lu’s warning that Moon Island would be dangerous on Sunday and that Lada had wanted Yang Yi to act as a lab rat, but Yang Yi became more interested in visiting.

Yang Yi reviewed reports about Moon Island and sought a way to enhance Broken Iron, eventually deciding it should grow stronger by absorbing souls through killing. Meanwhile, Lu Lu continued secretly collecting victims’ heads on Moon Island and worried she was nearing a limit on how many people she could kill.

• Yang Yi read Hong Yanyan’s reports about Moon Island’s attractions, traps, and Players who had gone missing after encountering Madmen.
• Yang Yi pressed Banks for a way to enhance Broken Iron, but Banks could not offer a solution and tried to escape the task.
• Yang Yi concluded that Broken Iron should be strengthened by infusing it with souls and letting it grow through killing, then considered asking Istil about the Infinite Flintlock.
• Shi Lei passed Lu Lu’s room and frowned but said nothing.
• Lu Lu added a fourth victim’s head to her collection and noted that killing any more might force her to hold back for half a month or longer.

Yang Yi traveled to Moon Island ahead of its Seven-Day Carnival, hoping the disaster would help him raise his Mental Attribute. After arriving, he stopped Lu Lu from attacking him and joined Shi Lei inside the base, where Shi Lei welcomed him to meet the crew.

• Daishi told Yang Yi about Moon Island and the Seven-Day Carnival, and Yang Yi arranged to arrive Saturday night before the island entered its uncontrolled state.

Yang Yi met the members of the Lost Ones Fleet over a lavish meal, then followed Lada to her laboratory to discuss Manic Laughter Syndrome. Lada asked him to document the effects after he contracted it, leaving Yang Yi shocked to learn that Su Na supported the plan.

• Daishi introduced Yang Yi to the twelve members of the Lost Ones Fleet, and Yang Yi introduced himself in turn.
• Yang Yi and Haozi ate most of the feast before Lada took Yang Yi upstairs to prepare for the next day's operation.
• Yang Yi examined Lada's blank research books and noticed her active study of Manic Laughter Syndrome.
• Lada changed into a much smaller form and asked Yang Yi to record the syndrome's effects after contracting it.
• Yang Yi was stunned when Lada said Su Na also wanted him to conduct the tests.

Yang Yi learned more about Manic Laughter Syndrome and accepted a mission to investigate a building that appeared during Moon Island’s peak activity. Before heading upstairs to meet Balie, he wrestled Augustus, won after transforming into a Werewolf, and left Augustus eager for a rematch.

• Yang Yi listened as Lada explained that light spread Manic Laughter Syndrome and that Moon Island’s activity peaked every seven days, when a damaged building appeared in the amusement park.

• Yang Yi transformed into a Werewolf, overpowered Augustus, and won; Augustus conceded and invited him to wrestle again.
• Yang Yi added Augustus as a friend and hurried upstairs to meet Balie in room 306.

• Yang Yi showed Balie the Infinite Flintlock, Broken Iron, and Fool's Greatsword, and Balie inspected the weapons.
• Balie said Broken Iron was made from material he could not identify and recognized lost magic on the Infinite Flintlock.

Yang Yi encountered Mr. Moon, who invited him to the Moon's Arrival Festival and gave him a strange Hero-level suit. Mr. Moon opened a fissure beneath the Amusement Park and sent Yang Yi toward the festival, leaving him transformed but apparently free of Manic Laughter Syndrome.

• After midnight, Yang Yi discovered that the Amusement Park was empty and that he could not send Private Messages from the special area.
• A big-headed Madman challenged Yang Yi to see who could die faster, nearly tricking him into shooting himself before bursting like a balloon.
• Mr. Moon appeared, apologized for the prank, introduced himself as the festival's host, and gave Yang Yi the Super Flashy Super Handsome Invincible Battle Suit.
• Mr. Moon opened a glowing fissure beneath the Amusement Park, and its laughter transformed Yang Yi's face and affected creatures in the sea.
• Yang Yi checked his status, found he had not contracted Manic Laughter Syndrome, and watched Mr. Moon vanish after directing him to the festival venue below.

Yang Yi entered the rift beneath Mr. Moon and captured a paper-thin Madman for Su Na’s task. He continued toward a building resembling the Lost Ones Fleet’s outpost, but the Eagle Knight stopped him before he could go farther.

• Yang Yi tried to turn back, but Mr. Moon shifted the rift beneath him and sent him falling into the amusement park below.
• Yang Yi found a paper-thin Madman in the crater he had made, rolled him into a bundle, and stored him in Su Na’s container.
• A Madman who looked identical to the captured one asked Yang Yi where his cousin had gone, and Yang Yi left without answering.
• Yang Yi felt the surrounding laughter affecting his sanity, then dodged a shot fired by the flying Eagle Knight.
• The Eagle Knight warned Yang Yi not to go any farther, and Yang Yi recognized him and wondered where his armor was.

Yang Yi broke through the Eagle Knight’s blockade and entered the Holy Tower, where an elderly Witch tried to seize his body. He overpowered her and demanded to know who she was and why she was inside Moon Island.

• Yang Yi realized the Eagle Knight’s bullets stopped him because he was not funny enough, so he changed into a white bodysuit and imitated the Madmen.

• Yang Yi transformed into a wolf, broke the Witch’s restraints, and demanded her identity and reason for being on Moon Island.

• The elderly witch recognized Yang Yi as a player and led him into a protected inner room, sealing out the contagious light and noise.
• Yang Yi explored the facility’s library, found a book about Outer Gods, and learned the Lost Ones Fleet were new players created by the system.
• The witch introduced herself as Dara the Undying Witch and said she had entered the place in 2148 of the Radiant Calendar.
• Yang Yi introduced himself as a later-summoned player called One-Eye and offered Dara dried and fresh Long-Legged Sardines.

• Yang Yi suggested that Dara leave with him to meet Su Na, but Dara said they could not get out.

Dara explained how Eagle Knight’s attack and her explosion severed the connection between the Twin Outpost Observation Station and the outside, leaving her trapped. When Yang Yi and Dara investigated the underground, Yang Yi pulled a Madman out of the ground and swallowed him with Big Mouth, terrifying Dara.

• Dara told Yang Yi that her explosion had cut the connection between the two buildings and that Eagle Knight had later become her devoted guard after encountering the strange light.
• Yang Yi carried Dara to the basement and examined the damaged third level, where Dara showed him that digging beneath a metal plate led only to sand-covered ground.
• Yang Yi thrust Broken Iron into the ground and pulled out a Madman who had been sleeping beneath it.
• Dara warned Yang Yi to cover the opening, and Yang Yi covered it with the metal plate.
• Yang Yi transformed into a Werewolf and fed the Madman to Big Mouth, shocking Dara with his ruthlessness and apparent Abyss Pollution.

• One person began acting alone after news of Yang Yi's disappearance spread.
