Luo Fan prepared to leave the Hope Convoy and hunt a stronger Weird alone so he could advance to a Professional Sequence. After Zhao Chunfeng warned him that heading east carried an almost certain risk of death, Luo Fan set off southeast, leaving An Xiaoran in the convoy’s care.

• Luo Fan recalled Lian Ziqiong’s advice about the dangers of traveling alone as the Hope Convoy continued safely for three days.
• Zhao Chunfeng gave Luo Fan three healing potions and shared his divination: southeast was relatively safe, south held trouble, and east brought near-certain death.
• Luo Fan asked Niu Dagang to look after An Xiaoran while he was away, and gave her ten cartons of milk to count the days until his return.
• Luo Fan packed his supplies, agreed to catch up with the convoy after his hunt, and said he would try to get a phone so they could stay in contact.
• Luo Fan said farewell to the Hope Convoy and headed southeast to look for a stronger Weird.

• Luo Fan killed a large rooster with an armor-piercing arrow and defeated a weasel-like Fierce Beast that ambushed him.
• After traveling southeast for three days, Luo Fan settled down for the night and browsed the Sequence User forum on his phone.
• Luo Fan heard explosions and spotted a white humanoid Weird chasing a boy who threw pale-blue fireballs at it.
• Luo Fan shot the Weird in the leg, causing it to stumble into the boy's fireball, which engulfed it in flames.
• The boy celebrated and called himself exalted, leaving Luo Fan embarrassed by the boy's edgy speech.

Luo Fan helped Ace kill a physical Weird, accepted its Weird Crystal, and exchanged contact information with the boastful professional. They parted ways, but Ace realized Luo Fan’s supposed southeast route was actually east.

• Luo Fan shot arrows into the physical Weird while Ace struck it with blue fireballs and killed it.
• Ace extracted the Weird Crystal and gave it to Luo Fan as a reward for helping.
• Luo Fan learned that the boy called himself Fire God Ace, added him as a friend, and declined to travel with him.
• Luo Fan continued southeast through the night, while Ace planned to head west.
• Ace checked the sunset and mountain to find west, then realized Luo Fan had been traveling east despite saying he was heading southeast.

Luo Fan entered Lin City looking for warm clothes, but found no Fierce Beasts and was suddenly pulled into a dark room by a speaking female Weird. Meanwhile, Rose brought An Xiaoran milk at the Hope Convoy’s camp, and An Xiaoran asked why Luo Fan had not returned.

• Luo Fan searched the quiet county town for warm clothes and realized he had not encountered any Fierce Beasts.

• Rose traded Fierce Beast Meat for milk and brought it to An Xiaoran on the bus.
• Niu Dagang questioned An Xiaoran about the milk Luo Fan had left her, and An Xiaoran said she had finished it and wondered why Luo Fan had not come back.

Luo Fan and two other Sequence Users were trapped in a meal hosted by a Rule-Type Weird that sealed their abilities and demanded food. Luo Fan used his independent Mall System to provide food, then refused to leave when the Weird offered, choosing to continue the meal.

• Luo Fan realized the woman hosting the meal was a Rule-Type Weird and saw that two other Sequence Users were trapped with him.
• The Weird demanded food for a split-bill meal, but the muscular woman could not open her Mustard Seed Bag and lost an arm, while Lao Zhu's Uncanny Artifact and Luo Fan's Spirit Void Step also failed.
• Luo Fan opened his Mall System and placed eggs and rice on the table, surprising the Weird and the other diners.
• When Lao Zhu pleaded for help and then threatened Luo Fan, the Weird severed his arm and cut off one of her own arms for the meal.
• After the food was eaten, the Weird offered to let the diners leave, and the other two agreed, but Luo Fan said he was still hungry and asked to continue.

Luo Fan forced the Rule-Type Weird’s deadly meal to continue, using his Mall System to keep contributing food while the other diners mutilated themselves under the rules. After the Weird and both Sequence Users died, the suppression lifted and Luo Fan advanced to Sequence level 11, meeting the requirements for his Professional Sequence.

• Luo Fan refused to let the Rule-Type Weird end the meal, reasoning that the rules gave him a chance to kill her and that his Mall System could bypass her suppression.
• Luo Fan bought food and continued eating while the Weird and the two Sequence Users repeatedly cut off their own limbs under the meal’s rules.
• When Luo Fan insisted on continuing after the diners begged to stop, the woman and the man lost their heads, followed by the female Weird.
• Luo Fan survived unharmed as the sole victor, and the Weird’s suppression disappeared.
• Luo Fan reached Sequence level 11, met the Professional Sequence requirements, and received a Mall System update notification.

After advancing to Demon Hunter Sequence Lv11, Luo Fan unlocked Triple Shot and explored the Mall System’s new products and Treasure Appraisal feature. The appraisal revealed the Twin-Eye Bow’s blindness cost and its ten-day cycle, leaving Luo Fan determined to return to the Hope Convoy before the next payment took effect; he then collected the dead Sequence Users’ belongings and the Weird Crystal.

• Luo Fan advanced to Demon Hunter Sequence Lv11 and awakened Triple Shot, which strengthened consecutive arrows and could silence opponents.
• Luo Fan inspected the Mall System’s new goods and discovered its Treasure Appraisal service.
• Luo Fan paid 500 yuan to appraise the Twin-Eye Bow and learned that each arrow caused one minute of blindness, settled once every ten days.
• Luo Fan estimated that his next blindness could last nearly two hours and decided to reach the Hope Convoy before the cycle ended.
• Luo Fan took two Mustard Seed Bags, the man’s orb, and the rule-type Weird’s Weird Crystal from the corpses.

After defeating the Rule-Type Weird, Luo Fan appraised his loot, discovered his Storage Space had greatly expanded, and rode toward the Hope Convoy. He camped for the night and received his new Check-in Funds at midnight.

• Luo Fan appraised the sturdy woman's bag and identified a tier-one Steel Beast leg bone, then found a phone and several materials in the Lv22 man's bag.
• Luo Fan spent 120 yuan to learn that the man's hide came from a tier-two Swift Wind Wolf and could be made into speed-enhancing shoes; he left the orb una appraised because its fee was 2,500 yuan.
• Luo Fan discovered that his Storage Space had expanded to roughly the size of a van's cargo compartment after he awakened his Professional Sequence.
• Luo Fan chose to return to the Hope Convoy instead of scavenging Lin City, found a motorcycle, and rode until it ran out of fuel before camping in the wilderness.
• Luo Fan posted that he had dealt with Lin City's Rule-Type Weird and encouraged nearby survivors to gather supplies there.
• At midnight, Luo Fan received a notification that his new day's Check-in Funds had arrived.

Luo Fan’s check-in reward rose to 500 yuan after he advanced to the professional sequence, and he rode back to the place where he had parted ways with the Hope Convoy. There, he helped Ai Si kill a tier-one Fierce Beast and discovered that Ai Si had also been heading west, despite Luo Fan insisting they had taken the wrong direction.

• Luo Fan saw that his daily check-in reward had risen to 500 yuan and bought gasoline from his Mall System.
• Luo Fan retraced his route by motorcycle to the place where he had parted ways with the Hope Convoy, then decided to head west after them.
• Luo Fan heard explosions and found Ai Si fighting a tier-one Fierce Beast whose earthen armor blocked most of Ai Si’s Azure flames.
• Luo Fan tested Double Rapid Fire with the Twin-Eye Bow, and his second arrow pierced the beast and triggered the silence effect that destroyed its armor.
• Luo Fan and Ai Si combined their attacks to kill the Fierce Beast, then argued over whether Ai Si had been heading west or northwest.

Luo Fan learned from Ai Si that he had mistaken west for northwest and had actually traveled east, despite Brother Zhao’s warning, before continuing toward the convoy with Ai Si. After riding together for more than ten hours, they spotted the Hope Convoy late at night.

• Luo Fan and Ai Si argued about their directions, and Ai Si explained that winter sunsets in China were in the southwest.
• Luo Fan realized he might have traveled east and that Brother Zhao’s Divination could not account for his Mall System saving him from the Rule-Type Weird.
• Ai Si told Luo Fan he was a level 12 Explosive Flame Mage and offered him bread, but Luo Fan cooked noodle soup for them instead.
• Luo Fan checked the forum and confirmed that Ai Si was right about winter sunsets, while ignoring requests for information about the Rule-Type Weird.
• Luo Fan and Ai Si traveled west together by motorcycle for more than ten hours and spotted the Hope Convoy late at night.

Luo Fan returned to the convoy, reunited with An Xiaoran, and introduced Ai Si to the others. He revealed that he had advanced to the demon hunter sequence by solo-killing a rule-type Weird, but his newly awakened Rapid Fire seemed underwhelming to the team, leaving Zhao Chunfeng suspicious of him.

• An Xiaoran clung to Luo Fan and admitted she had finished all the milk he left on the first day because she thought he would return once it was gone.
• Luo Fan promised to take An Xiaoran with him from then on, while Ai Si offered to protect her and Luo Fan hinted that she might be the one protecting Ai Si.
• Luo Fan introduced Ai Si, Zhao Chunfeng, Niu Dagang, An Xiaoran, and Rose to one another and named their sequences and levels.
• Luo Fan told the convoy that he had killed a rule-type Weird alone and advanced to the demon hunter sequence at Level 11.
• Luo Fan explained that Rapid Fire let him shoot successive arrows, with the second twice as powerful as the first and a chance to silence the target.
• Niu Dagang and the others questioned why Rapid Fire seemed weaker than their skills, and Zhao Chunfeng stopped short while implying that Luo Fan was becoming increasingly sneaky.

Zhao Chunfeng interpreted the Demon Hunter Sequence as powerful and suited to Luo Fan’s cunning hunter temperament, while the group traded supplies and discussed the convoy’s growing strength. The chapter ended with Zhao Chunfeng proposing that they hunt a strong Weird they had planned to avoid.

• Zhao Chunfeng argued that the Demon Hunter Sequence suited Luo Fan because hunters were stealthy and cunning, and Luo Fan objected to the characterization.
• Luo Fan offered two Mustard Seed Bags and a phone for trade, and Zhao Chunfeng exchanged two Weird Crystals for the phone.
• Zhao Chunfeng and Niu Dagang explained that the convoy had killed five Fierce Beasts and three Weird in recent days, and Luo Fan traded the remaining bag and settled debts.
• Zhao Chunfeng proposed that the convoy consider hunting a strong Weird now that Luo Fan and Ai Si had joined them.

After Zhao Chunfeng’s divination changed, Luo Fan and the others agreed to hunt the Weird threatening the convoy so they could rest for another seventy hours. While resting, Luo Fan read forum posts about sequence awakenings and learned that rule-type Weird Crystals were exceptionally valuable.

• Zhao Chunfeng explained that a new divination showed the convoy could defeat the approaching Weird and earn an extended rest.
• Luo Fan, Ai Si, and Niu Dagang agreed to stop fleeing and hunt the Weird, while Zhao Chunfeng told everyone to rest and prepare.
• Luo Fan returned to the truck with An Xiaoran, arranged for Ai Si to sleep in the fuel truck, and browsed forum posts as An Xiaoran slept.
• Luo Fan read Wen Hao’s research post stating that sequence awakening required bodily adrenaline secreted through fear and a nearby Weird’s death.
• Luo Fan found a request offering one hundred ordinary Weird Crystals for a rule-type crystal and realized that his own rule-type crystal was extremely valuable.
• Luo Fan recalled that Niu Dagang’s powerful Block skill had consumed a rule-type Weird Crystal.

Luo Fan learned that a Rule-Type Weird Crystal might grant a skill a rule effect if absorbed near a skill awakening, then discovered his Rapid Fire skill could work with weapons beyond bows. He left eager to test it with a handgun or stronger firearms.

• Lian Ziqiong told Luo Fan to save his Rule-Type Weird Crystal until he was close to awakening a new skill, since it might grant that skill a Rule-Type effect.
• Luo Fan told Lian Ziqiong he had awakened the Demon Hunter Sequence and described his Rapid Fire skill, while envying her Shadow Assassin invisibility.
• Lian Ziqiong explained that Rapid Fire was not limited to arrows and could potentially be used with slingshots, firearms, or even cannons.
• Luo Fan realized he had mistaken Triple Shot for a bow-only skill and slapped himself for overlooking its potential.
• Luo Fan wondered if he could borrow Brother Zhao's handgun to test Triple Shot.

Luo Fan tested Triple Shot with a handmade slingshot and confirmed the skill worked with weapons other than bows. After the convoy decided to hunt an approaching Weird, the group prepared to fight, and An Xiaoran weakened the charging creature with Holy Light Descent.

• Luo Fan used Triple Shot with a slingshot, embedding a pebble in a tree, and concluded he needed a more powerful shooting weapon.
• Luo Fan returned to the truck and fell asleep after deciding not to borrow Zhao Chunfeng's pistol for a test.
• Niu Dagang woke Luo Fan, and Uncle Li told the survivors that the convoy would hunt the approaching Weird.
• Luo Fan, Ai Si, An Xiaoran, and Niu Dagang agreed to receive twenty percent of the proceeds each, while Zhao Chunfeng and Rose would receive ten percent each.
• Luo Fan spotted a thorn-covered, skeletal Weird charging toward the group, and An Xiaoran weakened it with Holy Light Descent.

Luo Fan, Niu Dagang, Ai Si, Rose, and An Xiaoran defeated the Weird through a coordinated assault, but its skulls revived it and the creature advanced into a stronger form. As the enlarged Weird charged An Xiaoran, Niu Dagang blocked its attack while Luo Fan prepared a Triple Shot aimed at its neck.

• An Xiaoran weakened the charging Weird with Holy Light Descent, and Niu Dagang met it head-on while Ai Si, Rose, and Luo Fan attacked.
• Luo Fan stunned the Weird with Sap, allowing Niu Dagang to strike its forehead, but the Weird retaliated and wounded him before An Xiaoran healed him.
• Ai Si, Rose, Niu Dagang, and Luo Fan continued attacking until the Weird stopped moving, and Luo Fan judged that it had been unusually difficult to defeat.
• The fallen skulls pulsed with emerald light and rose into the air as the Weird revived, grew to three meters tall, and charged at An Xiaoran.
• Luo Fan's arrow barely pierced the advanced Weird, and Niu Dagang blocked its charge while Luo Fan locked onto its neck and activated Triple Shot.

The group fought the strengthened tier-two Weird, and Luo Fan killed it with three arrows through its eye socket after Rose protected An Xiaoran and Xiao Ran weakened the enemy. Afterward, Zhao Chunfeng suspected Luo Fan was hiding an even stronger shot skill, possibly a quadruple shot.

• Ai Si tried to stop the Weird’s flying skulls with explosive flames, but one charged at An Xiaoran.
• Rose stepped in front of An Xiaoran and used Flame Ring, then Xiao Ran shielded Rose and weakened the Weird with Holy Light Descent.
• Luo Fan locked onto the Weird’s eye socket and fired three Armor-Piercing Arrows, killing it and bringing down the flying skulls.
• Ai Si praised the arrows’ destructive power, and Luo Fan explained that his skill specialized in single-target damage.
• Zhao Chunfeng accused Luo Fan of hiding his skill, and Luo Fan admitted to Triple Shot, leaving Zhao Chunfeng to wonder if he had a quadruple shot too.

After the Hope Convoy killed a tier-two Weird, Luo Fan spent the convoy’s three-day rest recovering his sight and browsing the forum. He accepted Master Wen Hao’s friend request, and just as Zhao Chunfeng asked about it, a private message arrived.

• Luo Fan and the Sequence Users reviewed their battle after killing the tier-two Weird, collected its Crystal and body, and enjoyed a seventy-hour respite forecast by Zhao Chunfeng.
• Luo Fan woke unable to see because of the Twin-Eye Bow’s side effect, then restored his vision by absorbing a Weird Crystal for a little over two hours.
• During the convoy’s three-day rest, Luo Fan read Wen Hao’s report that two of thirty survivors had awakened Sequences after being pursued by Weirds that were killed before reaching them.
• Luo Fan found Wen Hao’s request in his thousands of pending friend requests and accepted it.
• Zhao Chunfeng came to Luo Fan’s truck to tell him about Wen Hao’s post, and a private-message notification sounded just after Luo Fan said he had not yet received a message.

Luo Fan negotiated with Master Wen Hao over his Rule-Type Weird Crystal, which Wen Hao urgently needed for research. After Zhao Chunfeng persuaded him of the trade’s benefits, Luo Fan agreed to part with it while adding requests, leaving Zhao Chunfeng appalled by his shameless message.

• Master Wen Hao asked Luo Fan to trade his unused Rule-Type Weird Crystal, but Luo Fan initially refused because he wanted to use it to enhance a future skill.
• Master Wen Hao offered a Rule-Type Uncanny Artifact and ten tier-two Weird Crystals in exchange.
• Luo Fan questioned the offer because crafting a Rule-Type Uncanny Artifact also required a Rule-Type Weird Crystal.
• Zhao Chunfeng argued that a forged artifact could magnify the crystal’s effects and that the tier-two Weird Crystals would quickly raise Luo Fan’s Sequence level.
• Luo Fan agreed to trade the crystal for the sake of Master Wen Hao’s research and humanity, then added that he had a few requests.
• Zhao Chunfeng watched Luo Fan’s message and thought he was utterly shameless.

Luo Fan arranged a trade with Master Wen Hao for a rule-type shooting weapon, then leveled up to 12 and appraised the jade he had recovered from a second-tier sequence user. The True Damage Jade could ignore defenses, and Luo Fan gave it to An Xiaoran to make up for her lack of attack power, leaving her testing whether she could use it.

• Luo Fan asked Master Wen Hao for a rule-type shooting weapon and for him to announce on the forum that Luo Fan had given him the rule-type weird crystal; Wen Hao agreed to the announcement and said he would search for a weapon.
• During two days of rest in the convoy, Luo Fan absorbed a weird crystal and advanced to Level 12, then received 1,000 yuan from his check-in.
• Luo Fan spent 2,500 yuan to appraise the ball-sized jade and learned it was a True Damage Jade that ignored defenses but required a spell-type sequence of Level 11 or above and doubled the user's damage received.
• Luo Fan decided An Xiaoran was a better recipient than Ai Si and woke her as the convoy's safe stay neared its end.
• Luo Fan gave the True Damage Jade to An Xiaoran and asked her to channel her power into it; she tried to use it.
