Chapter Summaries

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.

After escaping the Weird Tide in Yi City, Luo Fan learned that his immunity to rule Weirds’ vision sealing could attract dangerous attention, but he and his companions continued toward the Hope Convoy. Lin Feifei reunited with them and advanced to Lv21, awakening her fifth skill.

• Luo Fan refused to collect Weird Crystals in Yi City and drove away in the RV, which ran on a Second-Order Weird Crystal after its fuel tank was damaged.
• Crow warned Luo Fan that the Bull-Head Weird might spread news of his immunity to vision sealing, drawing powerful Weirds to him.
• Luo Fan admitted he had been unable to kill the Bull-Head Weird and drove on, while the Money Rat caught up and climbed into the RV.
• Luo Fan picked up Lin Feifei and set the RV’s navigation toward the Hope Convoy.
• Lin Feifei used her accumulated mental energy to advance to Lv21 and awakened her fifth skill.

Lin Feifei advanced to a Lv21 Second Tier Sequence and awakened the Soul-Summoning Art, which she initially believed was useless. Luo Fan pointed out its potential for research and scouting, then asked her to summon Ai Si’s soul, leaving Lin Feifei trying the skill.

• Lin Feifei advanced to a Lv21 Second Tier Sequence, the Undead Walker, and told Luo Fan that her new Soul-Summoning Art seemed to have no combat use.
• Lin Feifei explained that she needed to picture a dead person and speak their name to summon their soul, and that maintaining a soul drained her power.
• Luo Fan suggested the skill could let Lin Feifei summon researchers to continue their work and use souls to scout dangerous or inaccessible places.
• Lin Feifei reconsidered the skill’s usefulness after hearing Luo Fan’s suggestions.
• Luo Fan asked Lin Feifei to summon Ai Si, and she pictured him and called his name to activate the Soul-Summoning Art.

Luo Fan had Lin Feifei summon Ai Si’s soul, then explained that Rose had betrayed and killed him and that he had avenged him. After saying goodbye to Ai Si, Luo Fan asked Lin Feifei to summon Rose’s soul to confirm she was truly dead.

• Lin Feifei’s first attempt to summon Ai Si failed, and Luo Fan realized he had given her a fake name.
• Luo Fan remembered Ai Si’s real name was Ai Ergou, and Lin Feifei successfully summoned his soul.
• Ai Si learned he had been dead for a little over a month and asked about Rose.
• Luo Fan told Ai Si that Rose had betrayed him for her advancement and that he had killed her in revenge; Ai Si thanked him and urged him not to worry about resurrection.
• After Lin Feifei dismissed Ai Si’s soul, Luo Fan asked her to summon Rose’s soul to verify that Rose was dead.

Luo Fan returned to the Hope Convoy, reported what happened at the Yi City Battlefield, and rested after confirming Lin Feifei’s soul-summoning ability. His Demon Hunter Sequence rose to Lv23, and the group planned to leave the next morning to hunt the Swift Wind Wolf King.

• Luo Fan decided not to try summoning Rose because he did not know her full name, then drove back to the Hope Convoy with his companions.
• Luo Fan asked Murong Xuan to repair his battered RV and told Zhao Chunfeng and the others about the dangers he encountered at the Yi City Battlefield.
• Lin Feifei summoned the souls of convoy members’ deceased loved ones and earned dozens of first-order Weird Crystals.
• Lian Ziqiong confirmed that Luo Fan was uninjured and arranged for them to leave the next morning to hunt the Swift Wind Wolf King.
• Luo Fan received 9,500 yuan from his check-in and advanced to Demon Hunter Sequence Lv23.

After Luo Fan learned that Zhao Chunfeng’s divination showed no danger for the next half month, he worried that the Rule Weird he encountered in Yi City would reveal his secrets to powerful Weird. In Yi City, the Bull-Head Weird reported Luo Fan’s immunity to rule power to the Weird Bride, believing her intervention would ensure his death.

• Luo Fan found that his Sequence Level had increased just after he checked in, costing him 1,500 yuan in expected check-in funds, and he worried about the escaped Rule Weird.
• Luo Fan asked Zhao Chunfeng how far his Peering skill had seen into Luo Fan’s future, then explained that a Rule Weird had learned a dangerous secret about him.
• Zhao Chunfeng used his Steel Coins to divine Luo Fan’s fortunes and said Luo Fan faced no danger within the next half month; Luo Fan asked him to check again later and gave him a Weird Crystal.
• In Yi City, the Bull-Head Weird told other high-level Weird that Luo Fan could evade its vision sealing power and should be eliminated.
• The Weird Bride arrived, and the Bull-Head Weird and the other Weird knelt as the Bull-Head Weird hoped she would kill Luo Fan.

Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong left the Hope Convoy to hunt the Swift Wind Wolf King for Lian Ziqiong’s advancement mission. On the way, Luo Fan proved that he really knew Mo Mo and Master Wen Hao, leaving Lian Ziqiong impressed.

• Luo Fan gave Zhao Chunfeng a Weird Crystal to divine their trip and received a prediction that they would face no danger.
• Luo Fan left An Xiaoran behind and rode away from the Hope Convoy with Lian Ziqiong.
• Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong reached a mountain where Lian Ziqiong sensed the Swift Wind Wolf King nearby, then stopped and hid their Motorcycles.
• Lian Ziqiong questioned Luo Fan’s claim that he knew Mo Mo, and Luo Fan showed her Mo Mo’s friend request and his chat with Master Wen Hao.
• Lian Ziqiong recognized Master Wen Hao’s profile and popular forum posts, then admitted that Luo Fan was impressive.

Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong used their separate invisibility methods to approach the Swift Wind Wolf King, but Luo Fan realized the Invisibility Cloak concealed only his appearance and might not hide him from the wolves’ keen sense of smell. He warned Lian Ziqiong that his presence could make her assassination quest more dangerous.

• Luo Fan showed Lian Ziqiong that Mo Mo had added him as a friend, then turned off his phone to help her with her promotion quest.
• Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong both turned invisible and headed toward the Swift Wind Wolf King, with Luo Fan tracking her using the Far-Sensing Wave Hat and following with Spirit Void Step.
• Lian Ziqiong used Stealth to sneak past two Swift Wind Wolves, while the wolves sniffed toward Luo Fan but could not see him.
• After they moved away from the wolves, Luo Fan told Lian Ziqiong that the Invisibility Cloak could not conceal his presence and that the wolves might smell him.

Luo Fan and Lian Ziqiong devised a plan to combine her Sap with his long-range Triple Shot to assassinate the Swift Wind Wolf King. In Yi City, the Weird Bride unleashed her Aging Rule on the gathered Weird, overloading her power and leaving her body and Weird Crystal cracked.

• Luo Fan explained that his Invisibility Cloak could not hide his aura, so he and Lian Ziqiong moved to a secluded cliff to plan.
• Lian Ziqiong proposed sneaking close to disable the Swift Wind Wolf King with Sap while Luo Fan aimed his Weird Gun from a distance.
• The Weird Bride summoned the remaining Weird in Yi City and confirmed that they had all gathered.
• The Weird Bride ordered the Weird to die and unleashed her Aging Rule across the square.
• The Bull-Head Weird and other Weird tried to resist or flee as the Weird Bride pushed her power beyond its limits, cracking her Weird Crystal and skin.

The Weird Bride exhausted her Rule Power to erase every Weird in Yi City Square, then headed toward the Hope Convoy. Meanwhile, Crow vanished from the RV while Luo Fan prepared to assassinate the Swift Wind Wolf King, and he suddenly felt that something terrible had happened.

• The Weird Bride used her Rule Power beyond its limits, turning every Weird within range to ash and leaving herself badly cracked and injured.
• After recovering enough to stand, the Weird Bride headed toward the Hope Convoy.
• An Xiaoran found Crow unconscious and covered in cracks; Healing and Holy Light Dispel did not work, and Crow vanished before the group could contact Luo Fan.
• Zhao Chunfeng messaged Luo Fan, but he did not reply because he and Lian Ziqiong were on an assassination mission with their phones presumably off.
• Luo Fan reached a sniping position near the Swift Wind Wolf King while Lian Ziqiong waited close to it, then he felt a sudden, familiar sense of dread.

Luo Fan used the Uncanny Artifact Hat to guide Lian Ziqiong’s attack on the Swift Wind Wolf King, but the prolonged scan left him severely mentally exhausted. After Lian Ziqiong completed her mission and escaped, Luo Fan fled the mountain as well.

• Luo Fan worried that his wife might be in danger while he waited for Lian Ziqiong to make her move.
• Lian Ziqiong decided to trust Luo Fan and crept toward the Swift Wind Wolf King despite its growing unease.
• Lian Ziqiong stunned the Swift Wind Wolf King with her Emei Piercer, and Luo Fan killed it with three shots from nearly a thousand meters away.
• Lian Ziqiong escaped using Stealth as the nearby Swift Wind Wolves howled, and Luo Fan prepared to retreat.
• Luo Fan removed the Uncanny Artifact Hat, realized its prolonged use had badly overtaxed his mind, and forced himself to run down the mountain.
