Chapter Summaries

Luo Fan escaped the Swift Wind Wolves but collapsed into a deep sleep from the strain of using the Far-Sensing Wave Hat. Lian Ziqiong awakened Shadow Walk, evaded a second-tier Weird with Luo Fan, and later watched him wake after more than twenty-five hours asleep.

• The Weird Bride confirmed she had killed the Weird in Yi City, including its fourth-tier and rule-type Weird, and had injured herself by overusing her rule power.

• Luo Fan received an 11,000-yuan check-in reward and counted his crystals, including the third-tier, fourth-tier, and rule-type crystals the Weird Bride had given him.

Luo Fan absorbed a fourth-tier Weird Crystal and reached Sequence Level 24, then learned from Zhao Chunfeng’s divination that the Hope Convoy faced an ill omen. Zhao Chunfeng could find no route that would let them escape, leaving Luo Fan unsure how to protect the convoy.

• Luo Fan absorbed a fourth-tier Weird Crystal through the night and advanced to Sequence Level 24.
• The Weird Bride recovered while resting beside Luo Fan, and he thanked her for bringing him the crystals.
• Luo Fan bought and delivered Baby Bok Choy to the Aerospace Base and Greenedge Base.
• Zhao Chunfeng told Luo Fan that the convoy could remain where it was for only fifteen more hours and that his divination showed misfortune.
• Zhao Chunfeng explained that he could find no suitable route to relocate, and that fleeing in any direction would make no difference.

After Zhao Chunfeng divined that the Hope Convoy could not escape an approaching Weird, Luo Fan’s group prepared for a fight and sought ways to strengthen their weapons. Mo Mo found Luo Fan a Third Tier Uncanny Artifact in exchange for two months of vegetable deliveries, and Luo Fan began appraising it.

• Zhao Chunfeng told Luo Fan that the Weird targeting the Hope Convoy could not be escaped even by fleeing in daylight, so Luo Fan gathered Niu Dagang, Ximen Chuixue, Han Shanzhong, and the others to explain the threat.
• The group feared the Weird might be at the peak of the Third Tier or even Fourth Tier, but Lian Ziqiong and Zhao Chunfeng said the ominous divination still left them a chance if they prepared.
• With fifteen hours before the predicted danger, Zhao Chunfeng bought arrows, while Niu Dagang and others sought to refine their Uncanny Artifacts; Luo Fan searched for heavy-firepower weapons.
• Luo Fan asked Jiang Shengnan and Mo Mo to find him an Uncanny Artifact suited to heavy firepower, and Mo Mo later offered him a Third Tier artifact for two months of vegetable deliveries.
• Luo Fan accepted the deal, received the artifact through the trading platform, and paid 8,800 yuan to appraise it.

Luo Fan prepared for the night’s expected battle by buying an explosive launcher and twenty anti-tank missiles from Mo Mo. As darkness fell, the Hope Convoy formed a defensive ring and hundreds of small, winged Weird approached.

• Luo Fan appraised the launcher, learned that it required a Weird Crystal for each missile, and asked Mo Mo why no missiles had been included.
• Mo Mo explained the limited supply and quoted ten First-Order Weird Crystals per missile, so Luo Fan bought twenty HJ-12 anti-tank missiles for 200 crystals.
• Luo Fan resolved to save the missiles for Third-Tier Weird and felt more confident about the coming battle.
• Niu Dagang and the other Second-Tier Sequence Users prepared by browsing for Uncanny Artifacts, while Zhao Chunfeng told ordinary survivors they could leave the convoy before the fight.
• The Weird Bride offered to protect Luo Fan, but he told her to recover from her injuries.
• At night, the Hope Convoy arranged its vehicles in a circle and spotted hundreds of crimson-skinned, bat-winged Weird approaching.

Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy fought a swarm of flying Weird that repeatedly fused after death into fewer, stronger enemies. As four third-tier Weird emerged, Luo Fan put away his Weird Gun and took out an HJ-12 anti-tank missile.

• Luo Fan and the others attacked hundreds of flying first-tier Weird, with the Nightmare Nekomata dealing heavy damage as the convoy fought to protect one another.
• After the first swarm was killed, the corpses fused into dozens of second-tier Weird, which overwhelmed the convoy’s earlier advantage.
• Luo Fan used his Weird Gun to kill the second-tier Weird as the exhausted group fought through the next wave.
• The remaining corpses fused again into four third-tier Weird, and Luo Fan took out an HJ-12 anti-tank missile.

Luo Fan tested his anti-tank launcher against four third-tier Weirds, while Zhao Chunfeng, Niu Dagang, Han Shanzhong, and Lian Ziqiong fought alongside him. The convoy brought down three Weirds through coordinated attacks, but one remained in the battle.

• Luo Fan fired an anti-tank missile at a third-tier Weird, severely wounding it but failing to kill it.
• Zhao Chunfeng used Fate Strike to shoot the wounded Weird through its eye, bringing it down.
• Three remaining Weirds attacked the Hope Convoy, and Niu Dagang used Block to protect An Xiaoran from one of them.
• Han Shanzhong attacked a Weird with Flying Sword Technique, then blinked to his sword and struck it with Gale · Sword Dance.
• Lian Ziqiong used Shadow Walk and Sap to stun another Weird, allowing Zhao Chunfeng's Fate Strike arrow to pierce its eye and bring it down.

After fighting through the night, Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy defeated four third-tier Weirds, but their corpses merged into a terrifying fourth-tier Weird. Luo Fan’s missile failed to harm it, leaving him searching for a way to use his skills against the flying enemy.

• Luo Fan wounded the last two third-tier Weirds with missiles, and Han Shanzhong, Ximen Chuixue, and the others finished them off.
• Han Shanzhong and Lin Feifei reflected on how far the team had come since their Elite Squad had been destroyed in a battle involving a third-tier Weird.
• Black smoke rose from the four corpses and gathered overhead, and Zhao Chunfeng’s ominous divination proved to be a warning of something worse.
• An Xiaoran cast Holy Light Descent before the smoke finished gathering, but a fourth-tier demon Weird emerged with a terrifying aura.
• Luo Fan fired an Anti-Tank Missile at the demon, but it blocked the blast and remained unscathed.
• Luo Fan considered using his rule-type skills against the flying Weird, but doubted that Triple Shot could kill it.

Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy fought the fourth-tier Demon Weird, hoping to ground it or survive until dawn. After Triple Shot briefly silenced it, the Demon nearly killed Luo Fan and blasted Lian Ziqiong and Nekomata aside, leaving the battle to continue with Luo Fan’s anti-tank missiles.

• Luo Fan proposed breaking the Demon Weird’s wings, with stalling until dawn as a fallback, and the convoy agreed to attack.
• Lian Ziqiong tried to immobilize the Demon with Sap, but its aura blasted her away and a shield protected it.
• Luo Fan’s Triple Shot triggered its silence effect, briefly dismissing the Demon’s shield and interrupting its attack.
• Zhao Chunfeng shot at the Demon’s eye, but its physical defenses stopped the arrow from piercing its skin.
• The Demon attacked Luo Fan, tore through his armor, and blasted Nekomata away after the cat slowed it with the Blue Contract.
• Zhao Chunfeng used the Weird Gun to trigger its defense reduction, and Luo Fan fired three anti-tank missiles at the Demon with Triple Shot.

Luo Fan and his allies used uncanny artifacts and Sealing Traps to kill the fourth-tier demon Weird, but it revived completely restored. The chapter ended with the Weird targeting Luo Fan again as he feared they had no way to stop it.

• Luo Fan gave Zhao Chunfeng the Weird Gun, and the group combined its defense-reduction effect with Triple Shot missiles to blast the demon Weird and destroy most of its wings.
• The wounded demon charged at Luo Fan, but his Sealing Trap immobilized it and sealed its power, allowing him to finish it with another missile.
• Niu Dagang and the others celebrated the demon's apparent death, then collapsed from exhaustion after the battle.
• The demon's corpse turned into black smoke and re-formed in midair, fully restored, including its wings.
• The revived demon fixed its gaze on Luo Fan and formed a dark purple uncanny artifact at its fingertips, leaving Luo Fan despairing.

Luo Fan realized that the dawn and the sunlight-immune Demon Weird were illusions after his Check-In System notified him it was midnight. The group escaped the illusion and confirmed they were safe, but Luo Fan’s expression changed when he entered the RV.

• Niu Dagang spotted dawn, but the Demon Weird kept preparing to attack even as sunlight reached it.
• The Weird fired a powerful beam, and Luo Fan dodged while the others despaired at its apparent immunity to sunlight.
• A check-in notification prompted Luo Fan to realize it was midnight and warn the others that their senses were being distorted.
• The illusion shattered, revealing the group in the devastated battlefield at night with the Demon Weird gone.
• Zhao Chunfeng divined that they were safe, and Luo Fan went to rest in the RV, where his expression suddenly changed.

Luo Fan discovered that the Weird Bride had vanished and repeatedly tried to summon her with her red veil, while she had been healed in the Weird Domain by the Empress Dowager. His attempts failed, leaving him afraid that she had been killed.

• Luo Fan searched the RV for the missing Weird Bride, then paid 20,000 yuan to appraise her red veil and learned it could summon a powerful Weird.
• The Weird Bride had her injuries healed by the Empress Dowager, who gave her High-Tier Weird Crystals and Magic Potion to repair her damaged Weird Crystal.
• The Weird Bride decided to save the crystals and potion for Luo Fan as a New Year's gift, though she regretted being unable to spend the holiday with him.
• Luo Fan activated the red veil's summoning array repeatedly, but every attempt failed, and he feared the Weird Bride had been killed.

Luo Fan learned that the Weird Bride was likely still alive, though Zhao Chunfeng could neither divine her condition nor locate her. Worried that she had been captured and unable to summon her with the red veil, Luo Fan urgently absorbed a Fourth Tier weird crystal and reached Demon Hunter Sequence Lv25.

• Luo Fan asked Zhao Chunfeng to divine whether the Weird Bride was alive and where she was, but both readings failed.
• Zhao Chunfeng reassured Luo Fan that a future he had seen showed them fighting together, and Luo Fan paid him to try another divination anyway.
• Luo Fan examined the red veil and realized its ten weird crystals had been made from the Weird Bride’s own crystal, likely at great cost.
• After resting, Luo Fan began absorbing a Fourth Tier weird crystal because he feared the Weird Bride had been captured and he was too weak to help her.
• After two days of absorption, Luo Fan advanced to Demon Hunter Sequence Lv25 and prepared to continue toward Lv26.

Luo Fan set aside his rapid training to prepare a lavish New Year’s Eve dinner for the Hope Convoy, and Niu Dagang shared fierce beast meat with the ordinary survivors. As dark clouds gathered, a regal-looking woman approached the convoy.

• Luo Fan reached Lv25 and began absorbing a rule-type weird crystal, looking forward to awakening another skill and turning it into a rule-type divine skill.
• Zhao Chunfeng reminded Luo Fan that it was New Year’s Eve and suggested a dinner for the convoy; Luo Fan agreed to prepare the food in exchange for one weird crystal from each person.
• Luo Fan bought ingredients, fruit, drinks, and tea, then prepared a feast for the nine sequence users.
• Niu Dagang offered one jin of first-tier fierce beast meat to each of the twenty-odd ordinary survivors, who gratefully collected it.
• Dark clouds dimmed the afternoon sky, and Han Shanzhong pointed out a regal-looking woman approaching the Hope Convoy.

A regal woman asked to join the Hope Convoy’s New Year’s meal, then cooked an elaborate feast with astonishing speed and apparent Sequence abilities. Luo Fan cautiously appraised her braised pork and was shaken by the results.

• A regal woman approached the Hope Convoy and asked to join their meal, claiming she was an excellent cook.
• Luo Fan told the woman to leave when she refused to give her name, but she praised his backbone and began cooking.
• Han Shanzhong and Lin Feifei explained that cooking-related Sequences existed and recalled Shuxiang’s Culinary Maid Sequence and its healing porridge.
• The woman prepared six dishes and dumplings in twenty minutes, drawing the attention of Luo Fan’s group and nearby survivors.
• Luo Fan appraised the braised pork for 1,600 yuan and was shaken by what the results revealed.

Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy shared a New Year's Eve dinner made with the woman's miraculous cooking, and everyone received a different enhancement from the meal. After discovering that Tricolor Contract could now bind two pets, Luo Fan realized the cook had already left and suddenly remembered something about her.

• Luo Fan appraised the braised pork and revealed that the ordinary ingredients had produced a dish capable of granting powerful, varied benefits.
• The woman invited the Hope Convoy to eat, and all ten of them finished the New Year's Eve meal.
• Luo Fan's Tricolor Contract was optimized to bind two pets, while Niu Dagang's Block skill improved to negate 99% of one attack's damage.
• An Xiaoran and Murong Xuan gained Sequence Levels, Zhao Chunfeng and Han Shanzhong had their skills optimized, and Lin Feifei, Lian Ziqiong, and Ximen Chuixue received other enhancements.
• Luo Fan noticed the woman had left and suddenly recalled something about her.

After the Hope Convoy gained sudden improvements, Luo Fan realized they had encountered an indescribable existence whose presence had erased their memories. The group accepted that they could not recover what happened, and Luo Fan asked Murong Xuan whether her jump to Level 19 had awakened a new skill.

• Luo Fan noticed that everyone was forgetting the person who had cooked their New Year's Eve dinner and stabbed himself to try to preserve a reminder.
• The Hope Convoy members discovered that their skills, sequence levels, mental power, and movement speed had improved, while Luo Fan's Tricolor Contract could now support another pet.
• Luo Fan concluded that they had encountered an indescribable existence that had benefited them and erased their memories of it.
• An Xiaoran healed Luo Fan's self-inflicted wound, and the convoy agreed not to force themselves to remember the encounter.
• Luo Fan noticed that Murong Xuan had risen five levels to Level 19 and asked whether she had awakened a new skill.

Murong Xuan awakened Fusion, a skill that combined two Uncanny Artifacts of the same type and quality, while Luo Fan continued cultivating with a fourth tier Weird Crystal. The Money Rat then alerted Luo Fan that it had sensed treasure.

• Murong Xuan explained that her Fusion skill combined two matching Uncanny Artifacts, though the result could not be fused again.
• Luo Fan urged Murong Xuan to reach the second tier so she could refine the convoy's Uncanny Artifacts.
• After New Year's Eve, Luo Fan read greetings on the Sequence User Forum, replied to messages, and absorbed his rule-type Weird Crystal before beginning a fourth tier one.
• Lian Ziqiong formally left the Hope Convoy on a motorcycle Murong Xuan had repaired.
• The Money Rat urgently squeaked and gestured until Luo Fan realized it had sensed treasure.

Luo Fan abandoned the Money Rat’s treasure hunt after Zhao Chunfeng divined that it would bring great disaster, then continued absorbing a fourth-tier Weird Crystal. He reached Demon Hunter Lv26 and awakened Mimicry, a powerful skill that let him copy the appearance and abilities of targets he had seen, within strict daily limits.

• The Money Rat signaled that it had found treasure, but Zhao Chunfeng’s divination warned that searching for it would bring great disaster.
• Luo Fan decided not to risk the Hope Convoy and paid Zhao Chunfeng with a Weird Crystal.
• Over the following days, the Hope Convoy traveled slowly while Luo Fan absorbed a fourth-tier Weird Crystal and saved money.
• Luo Fan reached Demon Hunter Lv26 and awakened the god-tier skill Mimicry.
• Luo Fan realized Mimicry could copy the appearance and abilities of people, Fierce Beasts, and Weirds he had seen, but it could be used once a day for up to one hour and could not access abilities above his Sequence Level.
