Luo Fan and his companions reached the deepest part of Foggy Canyon, where the Weird Bride killed a Rule-Type Weird with a single word. She revealed that rules had different ranks, leaving Luo Fan eager to learn more about how they were classified.

The Weird Bride explained the three levels of rule control to Luo Fan and the others, revealing that rule sanction could nullify other people’s rules. After Luo Fan stopped her from disclosing her weakness, the Weird Bride proposed staying behind to wait for the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree’s fruits to ripen, and Luo Fan suspected she was hiding something.

• The Weird Bride explained that most rule-type weirds used rule manipulation, while she had rule mastery and could directly apply rules to enemies without being affected herself.
• Niu Dagang, Han Shanzhong, and Lin Feifei feared that rule mastery left them little chance of survival, but the Weird Bride began to mention a possible way to counter it.

Luo Fan left Foggy Canyon with the convoy after the Weird Bride stayed behind to guard an Evil Blood Banyan King Tree until its fruit ripened. As the convoy traveled, her crow Doppelgänger revealed how to counter Rule Mastery and let slip that the Weird Bride had stayed because remaining with the convoy would bring consequences they could not bear.

• The Weird Bride chose to remain in Foggy Canyon for about a month and sent a crow Doppelgänger with Luo Fan so she could track him.
• Luo Fan told Zhao Chunfeng that An Xiaoran had advanced to a Second Tier Sequence and that the Weird Bride was guarding the tree.
• The crow explained that each Doppelgänger embodied different aspects of the Weird Bride and that rules could counter other rules through greater strength and mastery.
• The crow said the Weird Bride had shared this knowledge because she wanted Luo Fan to be prepared for a Weird with Rule Mastery.
• Luo Fan tricked the crow into admitting that the Weird Bride had stayed behind because the convoy could not bear the consequences if she remained with it, and the crow agreed to explain further.

As the Hope Convoy continued safely without needing Luo Fan to fight, Rose died alone beside a lake after the Aging Curse rapidly consumed her lifespan.

• The crow told Luo Fan that the Weird Bride had taken him as a live-in husband for a reason and warned that learning certain truths would immediately draw attention.
• Luo Fan connected the crow’s warning with the Weird Bride’s reluctance to travel with the convoy and the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree’s behavior, then stopped himself from investigating further.
• Over the next three days, Lin Feifei’s corpses and the convoy’s powerful Sequence Users dealt with threats while Luo Fan had no chance to act; the other survivors appreciated the convoy’s safety and fair treatment.
• Rose recalled her failed attempts to remove the Aging Curse and wondered whether betraying Ai Si had left her alone and dying.
• Rose saw An Xiaoran in her final moments, reached toward her, and died beside the lake.

Zhao Chunfeng visited Luo Fan during dinner and asked to buy the Second Tier Long-Range Sniping Bow, saying he had advanced to Level 16 and awakened a skill that let him use it. Luo Fan refused to sell his Weird Gun and wondered what Zhao Chunfeng's new skill was.

A new map feature on the Doomsday Phone let users share their locations, and Luo Fan used it to discover that Lian Ziqiong was about 160 kilometers away. He agreed to help her assassinate a Swift Wind Wolf King for her second-tier advancement mission, but a crow caught him chatting with her.

• The Doomsday Phone added a map that allowed consenting friends to share their locations, drawing praise on the Sequence User Forum.

• A crow appeared behind Luo Fan and remarked that he seemed to be on good terms with Lian Ziqiong.

The chapter ended with the Weird Bride agreeing to provide even a fragment of her own Weird Crystal for the artifact.

• Luo Fan showed the crow his chat with Lian Ziqiong and pointed out that he had told her he was married.

The Hope Convoy entered Xiao Jiang Town to gather supplies, with Luo Fan using his mental scan to locate goods and threats. After he spotted an acquaintance in another convoy and suggested they meet, the Nightmare Nekomata and Money Rat reacted urgently, and Luo Fan rushed back to the RV, where he saw something alarming.

• Zhao Chunfeng divined that the Hope Convoy would face no danger, and the convoy entered Xiao Jiang Town to gather supplies.

• Luo Fan suggested visiting Qian Zhonghua's convoy, but the Nightmare Nekomata and Money Rat suddenly cried out in alarm.
• Luo Fan returned to the RV and was shocked by what he saw inside.

Luo Fan learned that the Weird Bride had lost part of her Weird Crystal, though Crow insisted she was safe. Zhao Chunfeng could not divine her circumstances, leaving Luo Fan to wonder whether the Yi City battlefield had also concealed a Rule Master before he turned his attention back to Qian Zhonghua.

• Luo Fan found Crow gravely weak and worried that something had happened to the Weird Bride.
• Crow told Luo Fan that the Weird Bride had cut part of her own Weird Crystal and was not in danger, but refused to explain why.
• Luo Fan asked Zhao Chunfeng to divine the Weird Bride's fortune, but two overlapping coins prevented him from interpreting the reading.
• Luo Fan connected the failed divination to his earlier reading about the Yi City battlefield and wondered whether a Rule Master had been present.
• Luo Fan sensed that Qian Zhonghua was in critical danger and went to deal with the Fierce Beasts in Xiao Jiang Town.

The Hope Convoy rescued Qian Zhonghua’s convoy from a swarm of spiders, with Lin Feifei, Ximen Chuixue, Han Shanzhong, Niu Dagang, and An Xiaoran turning the battle around. After Lin Feifei reached Lv20, Qian Zhonghua recognized Luo Fan as a hero from the Yi City battlefield, easing his group’s suspicions and earning Luo Fan admiring attention.

• Lin Feifei detonated spider corpses while Ximen Chuixue, Han Shanzhong, and Niu Dagang attacked the swarm, and An Xiaoran strengthened Qian Zhonghua’s struggling Sequence Users with Holy Light Descent.

• Luo Fan praised Qian Zhonghua for fighting on the Yi City battlefield, and Qian Zhonghua accepted Luo Fan’s familiar address of “Uncle Qian.”
• Qian Zhonghua told Luo Fan that his former convoy had died in the final Weird Tide and that he later assembled a new convoy.

• Luo Fan asked Qian Zhonghua to upgrade the Hope Convoy’s vehicles and offered vegetables, fruit, or fuel as payment.

Luo Fan arranged for Qian Zhonghua to modify his RV, acquiring Void Spirit Jade from Greenedge Base in exchange for a vegetable supply deal. Qian Zhonghua began the ten-hour modification, and Lian Ziqiong arrived and teased Luo Fan about making the vehicle more comfortable for his wife.

• Qian Zhonghua selected materials from Luo Fan's supplies and asked him to obtain at least ten kilograms of Void Spirit Jade for the RV modification.
• Luo Fan asked Jiang Shengnan for help, and Greenedge Base agreed to provide ten kilograms of Void Spirit Jade in exchange for 250 kilograms of vegetables daily for half a month.
• Luo Fan gave Qian Zhonghua the Void Spirit Jade and fifteen Second-Order Weird Crystals for the work.
• Zhao Chunfeng used Divination to confirm that the group could safely stay for the ten hours Qian Zhonghua needed to modify the RV, and Qian Zhonghua began working.
• Lian Ziqiong arrived on a Motorcycle, admired the convoy, and teased Luo Fan about modifying his vehicle now that he had a wife.

Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong agreed to leave the next day while Qian Zhonghua continued modifying the RV. That night, the Hope Convoy easily killed waves of Weirds, leaving Lian Ziqiong astonished at how effortlessly they earned Weird Crystals.

• Lian Ziqiong remarked that earning Weird Crystals seemed incredibly easy for the Hope Convoy.

Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong joked about the payment for his help with her advancement quest while the Hope Convoy weathered a safe night of attacks. After Qian Zhonghua finished modifying Luo Fan’s RV into an Uncanny Artifact, Luo Fan explored its greatly expanded interior and paid to appraise its stats.

• Lian Ziqiong questioned whether her promised three Second-Order Weird Crystals were enough payment, and Luo Fan teased her about their friendship and her offer to give herself to him.
• The Hope Convoy faced several nighttime attacks from below-Second-Tier Weirds and collected their crystals without danger.
• Qian Zhonghua completed Luo Fan’s RV modifications, increasing its durability and stability and expanding its interior to around ninety or a hundred square meters.
• Luo Fan inspected the spacious RV with Crow, Money Rat, Nightmare Nekomata, and An Xiaoran, who said she wanted to share a room with him.
• Luo Fan paid 5,200 yuan to appraise the modified RV, and the results appeared before him.

Luo Fan appraised his upgraded Doomsday RV and used the Mall’s Reforge service to replace its dangerous lifespan-draining side effect. After spending heavily, he accepted a daily Second-Order Weird Crystal cost and showed the RV to Zhao Chunfeng and the others.

• Luo Fan paid to appraise the Doomsday RV and learned that its upgrades included expanded living space and a Weird Crystal-powered sport mode, but driving it cost him 10 days of lifespan each day.
• Luo Fan reforged the RV’s side effect several times, rejecting breakdowns, dangerous sport-mode requirements, and an inability to sleep inside.
• Luo Fan spent 10,000 yuan on another Reforge and accepted a side effect requiring one Second-Order Weird Crystal each day or the RV’s power would drop by 80%.
• Luo Fan received 9,500 yuan from a check-in, then stepped out of the RV as Zhao Chunfeng and the others asked how the modifications had turned out.
• Luo Fan invited Zhao Chunfeng and the others to inspect the RV.

Luo Fan appraised the Hope Convoy’s newly modified vehicles and used Reforging to make Niu Dagang’s bus side effect acceptable. After spending heavily on appraisals and supplies, he was left with little money as Qian Zhonghua realized Luo Fan could profit from appraising Uncanny Artifacts.

• The convoy members admired Luo Fan’s spacious RV and had Qian Zhonghua modify their own vehicles while Luo Fan slept to recover from using the Far-Sensing Wave Hat.
• Luo Fan charged the convoy members to appraise their vehicles and explained the side effects of their first-tier Uncanny Artifacts.
• Luo Fan found that Niu Dagang’s bus consumed one living person each day, then Reforged it three times until its side effect became a 60% speed reduction.
• Niu Dagang accepted the bus’s new side effect and its increased collision force, while Luo Fan chose not to charge him for the extra Reforges and appraisals.
• Luo Fan’s Mall balance fell sharply after the appraisals and planned vegetable purchases, and Qian Zhonghua remarked that his appraisal ability could make him a fortune.

After helping Qian Zhonghua’s convoy, Luo Fan learned that Lin Feifei’s advancement mission required collecting residual mental energy and proposed visiting the Yi City battlefield. Zhao Chunfeng’s divination failed again, leaving the trip’s fortune unknown.

• Luo Fan explained his ability to appraise Uncanny Artifacts as a Hunter’s skill, and Qian Zhonghua accepted the explanation.
• Luo Fan bought ten drums of gasoline and secretly left them in Qian Zhonghua’s convoy before it departed.
• Luo Fan supplied baby bok choy to Greenedge Base and the Aerospace Base, receiving twenty-eight weird crystals from the latter.
• Lin Feifei told Luo Fan that her advancement mission required collecting residual mental energy from the dead.
• Luo Fan suggested the Yi City battlefield as a source of residual mental energy, and Zhao Chunfeng’s divination failed to determine whether going there would bring good or bad fortune.

Luo Fan decided to take Lin Feifei to the Yi City Battlefield so she could gather mental energy for her Second Tier advancement, and An Xiaoran joined them. Meanwhile, the Weird Bride received her red veil from the Willow Immortal Elder, who was astonished to see her standing in sunlight unharmed.

• Lin Feifei suggested abandoning the dangerous trip to Yi City and gathering mental energy gradually with the convoy, but Luo Fan argued the battlefield offered a better chance to strengthen her advancement potential.
• Luo Fan reasoned that few Weird might remain in Yi City because its human population had escaped, and he decided to travel there with Lin Feifei and An Xiaoran rather than bring the whole convoy.
• Luo Fan, Lin Feifei, and An Xiaoran left the Hope Convoy at dawn in the RV, accompanied by Nightmare Nekomata, Money Rat, and Crow.
• The Weird Bride asked the Willow Immortal Elder whether her contract had been fully embedded in her red veil, and he handed it to her.
• The Willow Immortal Elder looked astonished when he saw the Weird Bride standing in the morning sunlight without reacting.

The Weird Bride learned that her Red Veil could summon her ten times before requiring her to sacrifice more of her damaged Weird Crystal. As Luo Fan and Lin Feifei approached Yi City, they speculated that Lin Feifei might gain a mental-energy-related skill when she advanced to a Second Tier Sequence.

• The Weird Bride discovered she could withstand sunlight, and Willow Immortal Elder explained that her Red Veil could summon her ten times using a fragment of her Weird Crystal.
• Willow Immortal Elder warned the Weird Bride that further damage to her Weird Crystal could weaken her abilities, and she left with the Red Veil.
• Luo Fan shot down a Fierce Beast bird from the RV roof as Lin Feifei drove them toward Yi City.
• Luo Fan and Lin Feifei stopped for lunch after nearing Yi City, where Lin Feifei sensed abundant free-floating mental energy.
• Luo Fan reasoned that Lin Feifei's Second Tier skill might involve mental energy, and Lin Feifei agreed that the guess made sense.

Luo Fan guarded Lin Feifei as she absorbed mental energy at the Yi City Battlefield, while he scavenged damaged and intact Uncanny Artifacts. The ground then erupted into hundreds of earthen walls, trapping the group as Luo Fan wondered whether a powerful Weird had recognized him.

• Lin Feifei absorbed mental energy near the ruins of the bridge while Luo Fan guarded her against nearby Fierce Beasts.
• Luo Fan searched the battlefield and collected damaged Uncanny Artifact fragments and several intact artifacts.
• Luo Fan used his Uncanny Artifact hat to scan the area and gather more artifacts.
• The ground shook, and Luo Fan told Lin Feifei to flee.
• Earthen walls rose around the RV and across the battlefield, trapping the group and alarming Luo Fan.

Luo Fan and his companions were trapped in a maze of earthen walls as a Weird Tide approached, but they fought from atop the walls. After Crow identified the two Weird controlling the sky and earth as powerful-looking but weak in direct combat, Luo Fan wondered whether they needed to flee.

• A top Weird raised earthen walls around Luo Fan and his companions while dark clouds and hundreds of Weird advanced toward them.
• An Xiaoran flew Lin Feifei onto a wall, and Luo Fan, Lin Feifei, and An Xiaoran fought off the approaching Weird from above.
• Crow flew to Luo Fan, while Money Rat fled and Nightmare Nekomata stayed in the RV.
• Crow explained that the sky-controlling and earth-controlling Weird were Fourth Tier partners with unusual abilities but low combat strength.
• Luo Fan judged that the walls protected them from most of the Weird Tide and questioned whether they needed to flee.

Luo Fan and his companions eliminated the flying Weirds, then used gasoline and Corpse Explosion to burn back the horde below their earthen wall. With nearly two hundred Weirds still waiting and the Terrestrial Phenomenon Weird potentially able to bring down the wall, Luo Fan went invisible and began attacking them at close range.

• Luo Fan, An Xiaoran, and Lin Feifei killed the flying Weirds, securing the top of the earthen wall.
• Luo Fan dropped gasoline and a burning sweater onto the Weirds below, and Lin Feifei used Corpse Explosion to spread the flames.
• The surviving Weirds remained below, seemingly waiting for the Terrestrial Phenomenon Weird to lower the wall.
• Luo Fan told An Xiaoran and Lin Feifei to keep attacking, then used his Invisibility Cloak to leap down from the wall.
• Luo Fan drew his Vampiric Short Sword and began killing the Weirds one by one from the shadows.

Luo Fan, An Xiaoran, and Lin Feifei fought their way through the Weird Nest, and Luo Fan helped Lin Feifei escape on his Motorcycle as the survivors closed in. He resumed picking off the remaining Weird from a distance, but Crow suddenly warned him of danger.

• Luo Fan, An Xiaoran, and Lin Feifei killed Weird until the earthen walls sank, leaving seventy or eighty stronger enemies.
• Luo Fan called Lin Feifei to the Motorcycle and covered her escape with his Weird Gun while An Xiaoran attacked from the air.
• The Nightmare Nekomata joined the fight, helping Luo Fan and An Xiaoran slow the Weird pursuing Lin Feifei.
• After Lin Feifei escaped, Luo Fan turned invisible and dodged the Weird while An Xiaoran and the Nightmare Nekomata stayed out of their reach.
• Luo Fan moved away from the remaining Weird and began shooting them from over five hundred meters away, but Crow suddenly shrieked a warning.

Luo Fan encountered the Ox-Head Ghost General on the Yi City Battlefield and confirmed that its Vision Sealing Power had no effect on him. The wounded Weird fled into Yi City, leaving Luo Fan confident that he could negate other Rule-Type Weirds’ Vision Sealing.

• Crow warned Luo Fan of an incoming attack, and Luo Fan dodged the Ox-Head Ghost General’s club just before it smashed a crater into the ground.
• The Ox-Head Ghost General challenged Luo Fan to a contest of strength, but Luo Fan refused and stunned it with Sap.
• Luo Fan fired three Crystal-Energy Bullets at point-blank range, cracking the Ox-Head Ghost General’s skull but failing to kill it.
• The injured Ox-Head Ghost General fled into Yi City after accusing Luo Fan of negating its Vision Sealing Power.
• Luo Fan realized the Ox-Head Ghost General’s Vision Sealing had not affected him and concluded that he could negate the power of other Rule-Type Weirds.
