Chapter Summaries

Luo Fan avoided attacking the Nightmare Nekomata directly and instead followed it through the night to discover its daytime hiding place. As dawn approached, the nekomata headed straight in one direction, and Luo Fan suspected it was returning to its lair.

• Luo Fan judged that his Weird Gun was too unreliable against the fast Nightmare Nekomata and retreated with Cheng Biao rather than risk provoking it.
• Luo Fan proposed tracking the nekomata to its daytime hiding place, and Cheng Biao returned to his father while the Prophecy Sequence User used a Compass to follow Luo Fan’s trail.
• Luo Fan turned invisible and secretly followed the nekomata as it hunted and ate several Fierce Beasts.
• Cheng Hu praised Luo Fan’s plan, while Lian Ziqiong wondered why she had not thought of tracking the nekomata herself.
• Near dawn, Luo Fan saw the nekomata travel straight in one direction and suspected it was heading back to its lair.

Luo Fan tracked the Nightmare Nekomata back toward its lair and used his Weird Gun to steal some of its speed, allowing him to keep pace. As dawn neared, the nekomata ran into a park grass patch, and Luo Fan chased after it despite the danger of an ambush.

• Luo Fan followed the Nightmare Nekomata toward its lair, but it sensed him and accelerated away.
• Luo Fan used his Weird Gun to slow the nekomata and boost his own speed, then caught up with it.
• The nekomata tried to attack Luo Fan, but he retreated each time and taunted it while waiting for dawn.
• The nekomata resumed its flight, and Luo Fan followed it across the plains and into a park.
• The nekomata disappeared into a patch of grass, and Luo Fan gritted his teeth and chased after it.

Luo Fan used the Twin-Eye Bow’s tracking effect to follow the fleeing Nightmare Nekomata to its hidden lair. He waited there until Cheng Hu and the others arrived, leaving the group ready to deal with the Nekomata together.

• The Nightmare Nekomata ambushed Luo Fan in the grass, but he dodged with Swift Wind Acceleration and stunned it with Sap after his short sword failed to pierce its defenses.
• Luo Fan fired a tracking arrow from the Twin-Eye Bow as the Nekomata fled into the grass.
• Luo Fan followed the arrow, keeping pace even after his stolen speed expired and the Nekomata gained distance.
• The arrow led Luo Fan to a concealed cave that served as the Nightmare Nekomata’s lair.
• Luo Fan waited through the morning, then greeted Cheng Hu and the others when they arrived, guided by the prophecy sequence compass.

After Cheng Hu began digging the Nightmare Nekomata out of its lair, He Qiang attacked Luo Fan in an attempt to seize his Rule-Type Weird Crystal. Luo Fan fought back while retreating, but He Qiang wounded him and charged again as Luo Fan aimed another shot.

• Cheng Hu began digging at the Nightmare Nekomata's lair so Cheng Biao could obtain the materials he needed for his Professional Sequence advancement.
• He Qiang questioned Luo Fan about his Rule-Type Weird Crystal, then attacked him with a suction force while vines trapped Lian Ziqiong.
• Luo Fan evaded He Qiang with Swift Wind Acceleration and his Invisibility Cloak, then fired two Double Shot attacks.
• He Qiang blocked the bullets with his bracer and struck the ground, breaking Luo Fan's invisibility and sending him flying with a mouthful of blood.
• Luo Fan retreated as He Qiang pursued and pulled him toward his hand, then reloaded the Weird Gun and aimed another Double Shot at him.

Luo Fan killed He Qiang with three Crystal-Energy Bullets, then shot and wounded the prophecy sequence user before escaping the vines with his Invisibility Cloak.

• Cheng Hu called the killings a misunderstanding and offered Luo Fan compensation, taking something from his Mustard Seed Bag.

Luo Fan negotiated with Cheng Hu after killing He Qiang, then escorted Cheng Biao back toward the Hope Convoy while appraising the Uncanny Artifacts he had acquired. Lian Ziqiong delivered the Nightmare Nekomata’s egg, crystal, and a tentacle-made hat, leaving Luo Fan to appraise the new items.

• Luo Fan had Cheng Hu send him the Nightmare Nekomata’s Weird Egg, the promised Weird Crystal, and his commissioned Uncanny Artifact, while taking Cheng Biao as a hostage until the items arrived.

• Luo Fan and Cheng Biao caught up with the Hope Convoy, where Lian Ziqiong delivered the Weird Egg, Second-Order Weird Crystal, and tentacle-made hat.
• Lian Ziqiong teased Luo Fan, easing the awkwardness between them, while Luo Fan resolved to avoid her if he later sought revenge against the Supreme Convoy.
• Luo Fan opened Treasure Appraisal to examine the Weird Egg and the hat-shaped Uncanny Artifact.

Luo Fan appraised his new feeler hat and a Nightmare Nekomata egg, learning the hat could extend his mental sensing and the egg could hatch in Fierce Beast blood. Meanwhile, in the Supreme Convoy, Cheng Hu asked for a divination about the outcome of attacking the Hope Convoy.

• Luo Fan appraised the Far-Sensing Wave Hat, then tested its mental-power detection and found he could sense about 1,500 meters in a beam.
• Zhao Chunfeng mistook Luo Fan's antenna-like hat for a giant cockroach Fierce Beast before asking about his trip, and Luo Fan showed him three Uncanny Artifacts and a Nightmare Nekomata egg.
• Luo Fan told Zhao Chunfeng he planned to hatch the egg and considered asking the Master for advice on raising Weirds.
• Luo Fan reunited with An Xiaoran and Murong Xuan, then appraised the egg and learned it needed to absorb Fierce Beast blood to hatch.
• Cheng Hu asked the Supreme Convoy's prophecy sequence user to divine what would happen if they wiped out the Hope Convoy.

The Supreme Convoy’s divination warned that attacking the Hope Convoy would nearly destroy both sides, while Luo Fan asked Master Wen Hao for advice about hatching his Nightmare Nekomata egg. Master Wen Hao explained that the Nightmare Nekomata was a special-type Weird because of its third eye, leaving Luo Fan curious about its power.

• A Prophecy Sequence user divined that a war between the Supreme Convoy and the Hope Convoy would leave only a few survivors, so Cheng Hu set the conflict aside.
• Luo Fan charged his phone and reminded Master Wen Hao that he had not yet announced receiving the Rule-Type Weird Crystal, which had nearly gotten Luo Fan killed.
• Master Wen Hao apologized and offered to publish the announcement, but Luo Fan declined and asked for advice on hatching and raising Weirds.
• Master Wen Hao explained that Weird eggs had unique hatching conditions and that some Weirds were unsuitable to raise because of their habits.
• Luo Fan told Master Wen Hao that he had a Nightmare Nekomata egg, and Master Wen Hao revealed that its third eye made it a special-type Weird rather than a physical-type one.

Luo Fan learned more about the Nightmare Nekomata’s Third Eye, then discovered that Rose and Ai Si had grown close and tried to sneak into Rose’s locked van. He broke its handle and fled, leaving Rose determined to catch the thief.

• Master explained to Luo Fan that recorded Nightmare Nekomata Third Eye abilities had only been observed in Third Tier individuals, though the relationship between the eye and advancement remained uncertain.
• Luo Fan saw Rose and Ai Si walking together and learned from Niu Dagang that Rose had given Ai Si her Money Rat and that he had spent the night in her van.
• Luo Fan used his Invisibility Cloak to approach Rose’s van while the pair were away and tried to open its locked door.
• Luo Fan broke the van’s plastic door handle, noticed Rose and Ai Si returning, and slipped away.
• Rose returned, found the broken handle, and decided to find a way to catch the thief.

Zhao Chunfeng divined that the Hope Convoy would avoid the Supreme Convoy for at least half a month, and the group continued toward fuel supplies. When Luo Fan spotted a nearby town, he got permission to scout it alone and nearly revealed that he wanted to find more underwear for Xuanxuan.

• Zhao Chunfeng told the convoy that fuel was two days away and that they would face trouble on the road the next day.
• Luo Fan explained that he had killed a second-tier Sequence User from the Supreme Convoy and asked Zhao Chunfeng to divine whether the convoys would clash.
• Zhao Chunfeng's divination showed that they would not encounter the Supreme Convoy for at least half a month, and Luo Fan suspected its Prophecy Sequence User was discouraging an attack.
• The convoy traveled for a day as Niu Dagang trained Wu Xingyu against Fierce Beasts, while Murong Xuan repaired Rose's vehicle lock and added a trap.
• Luo Fan noticed a town several kilometers away and asked Zhao Chunfeng to divine whether he could scout it alone; Zhao Chunfeng said he would be safe.
• Luo Fan nearly admitted he wanted to collect underwear for Xuanxuan, then claimed he was looking for warm clothes and bedding for winter.

Luo Fan secretly searched a town infested with Bee-Type Fierce Beasts and returned to the Hope Convoy with clothing, bedding, and supplies. After falling asleep from using his scouting artifact, he woke when his phone announced that its system update was complete and new features had loaded.

• Luo Fan scanned the town and discovered thousands of Bee-Type Fierce Beasts, including a second-tier beast and dozens of first-tier elites.
• Luo Fan used his cloaks and Spirit Void Step to sneak into the town, collecting underwear, bedding, toiletries, and winter clothes from a supermarket and nearby homes.
• Luo Fan found a portrait album showing a rugged man in women's lingerie, panicked, and washed his hands thoroughly before leaving the town without approaching its gas station.
• Luo Fan returned to the convoy, told Murong Xuan to keep driving, and went to sleep in the cargo compartment after warning that he would trade the winter supplies when he woke.
• Luo Fan woke when his phone vibrated and saw a notification that the Doomsday Phone system update had finished loading new features.

Luo Fan discovered that the Doomsday Phone had added a Weird-delivered trading function developed by Master Wen Hao, who publicly credited Luo Fan for providing a Rule-Type Weird Crystal. After seeing other users praise him as a good person, Luo Fan realized his reputation could make people less wary of him when he dealt with them in the future.

• Luo Fan examined the Doomsday Phone’s new trading section and learned that Weirds delivered goods in exchange for Weird Crystals, with each person limited to one trade per day.
• Luo Fan read Master Wen Hao’s announcement explaining that the delivery function had been developed with a Celestial Master Sequence User and was still in trial operation.
• Luo Fan saw Master Wen Hao thank him for providing the Rule-Type Weird Crystal used in the phone update.
• Luo Fan browsed forum replies praising the new feature and describing him as a good person for helping Master Wen Hao and reporting that Lin City was safe to scavenge.
• Luo Fan concluded that his emerging reputation as a good man could make others less wary of him, then considered how that might help him when he screwed people over.

Luo Fan explored the Doomsday Phone’s trading section, absorbed a Second-Order Weird Crystal to reach Level 14, and discovered he could turn mall funds into Weird Crystals by selling vegetables. After a successful baby bok choy sale, he shared Weird Crystals with An Xiaoran and Murong Xuan.

• Luo Fan absorbed a Second-Order Weird Crystal and advanced to Level 14.
• Luo Fan listed a hundred jin of baby bok choy for four Weird Crystals with seller-paid shipping.

• Luo Fan realized the trading section let him convert mall funds into Weird Crystals and support his Sequence growth.
• Luo Fan gave three Weird Crystals to An Xiaoran and one to Murong Xuan.

Cheng Hu learned that Luo Fan had already given Master Wen Hao the rule-type Weird Crystal, undermining Cheng Hu’s standing in the Supreme Convoy. Meanwhile, Luo Fan’s convoy defeated a Fierce Beast, traded winter supplies, and received Weird Crystals from him before resting for the night.

• Cheng Hu realized Luo Fan had already given Master Wen Hao the Weird Crystal, and Supreme Convoy members judged Cheng Hu for pursuing Luo Fan over it.
• Murong Xuan accepted a Weird Crystal from Luo Fan before the Hope Convoy encountered a first-tier Fierce Beast blocking the road.
• Niu Dagang, Ai Si, Rose, and the other Sequence Users killed the Fierce Beast while An Xiaoran weakened it with Holy Light Descent.
• Zhao Chunfeng proposed that the convoy rest until morning, and Luo Fan traded warm clothing and bedding to survivors.
• Luo Fan gave Murong Xuan more than a hundred pairs of panties and gave Rose a Weird Crystal; Rose passed the crystal to Ai Si to absorb.

Ai Si and Rose left the Hope Convoy to investigate a find, while the convoy collected fuel and waited for them. Luo Fan received a private message from Ai Si saying “Save me!!!”

• Ai Si and Rose asked to leave the Hope Convoy to follow the Money Rat, and Zhao Chunfeng’s Divination predicted danger but eventual success.
• Luo Fan asked Zhao Chunfeng to divine whether their departure would affect the convoy’s fuel collection, and the result showed everything would go smoothly.
• The Hope Convoy reached a gas station and collected around eight or nine hundred liters of fuel before waiting for Ai Si and Rose.
• Luo Fan browsed the Doomsday Phone’s Trading Section and decided against using it to trade for secondhand panties because the forum used real names.
• Luo Fan received a private message from Ai Si that read, “Save me!!!”

Rose and Ai Si found a strange fruit guarded by a Fierce Beast, and Rose took it while Ai Si fought the beast. Rose then drove away alone, leaving Ai Si to face the danger and sending Luo Fan a desperate message for help.

• Rose realized the corpses around the Monster Tree had likely been brought there by a predator and went to pick the fruit while Ai Si stood guard.
• A Fierce Beast charged in, and Ai Si attacked it with an Explosive Fireball as Rose ran to the tree.
• Rose picked the strange fruit and stored it in her Mustard Seed Bag while Ai Si kept the Fierce Beast occupied.
• Rose claimed she would bring the van to help Ai Si, but she drove away alone instead.
• Rose used Ai Si's Doomsday Phone to message Luo Fan, "Save me!!!", then threw the phone out the window as Ai Si watched her leave.

Rose betrayed Ai Si to advance to Level 11 as a deceptive enchantress, then fled the Hope Convoy knowing she could not return. After Ai Si sent Luo Fan a plea for help, Zhao Chunfeng divined that Ai Si faced a bloody calamity, and Luo Fan raced to rescue him.

• Rose reflected on the Hope Convoy's kindness and her growing attachment to An Xiaoran, but learned that deception and betrayal were required to advance her sequence.
• Rose targeted Ai Si, won his trust, and fell into a relationship with him while planning to betray him for greater power.
• When Ai Si fell into mortal danger during their treasure hunt, Rose fled instead of rescuing him and used his Doomsday Phone to ask Luo Fan for help.

• Luo Fan received Ai Si's plea for help, and Zhao Chunfeng divined that Ai Si faced a bloody calamity.
• Luo Fan raced his motorcycle in the direction Zhao Chunfeng indicated to rescue Ai Si.

Luo Fan found Ai Si gravely injured after a battle and tried to bring him back to the Hope Convoy, but Ai Si died on the way. Back at the convoy, Luo Fan realized Rose was missing and urgently messaged her.

• Luo Fan followed Zhao Chunfeng's directions to the battle site and found Ai Si with both legs gone and a massive charred Fierce Beast nearby.
• Luo Fan gave Ai Si two healing potions and carried him back toward the Hope Convoy on his motorcycle.
• Ai Si told Luo Fan his real name was Ai Ergou, thanked him, and died on the ride back.
• Zhao Chunfeng confirmed Ai Si was dead, and An Xiaoran's Healing had no effect.
• Luo Fan discovered Rose was missing and sent her an urgent message on his Doomsday Phone.

Luo Fan rode to the Supreme Convoy to hire its Compass-wielding prophecy Sequence User to help him find Rose, whom he suspected of causing Ai Si’s death. Cheng Hu hesitated over the offer but softened after Luo Fan offered 500 kilograms of fresh produce and asked how he would guarantee Old Zhang’s safety.

• Luo Fan obtained the Supreme Convoy’s coordinates from Lian Ziqiong and left the Hope Convoy to find Rose.
• Luo Fan suspected Rose had sent Ai Si’s plea for help and disappeared because of a treasure or her involvement in Ai Si’s death.
• Luo Fan reached the Supreme Convoy and asked Cheng Hu to lend him Old Zhang for two days so he could find Rose.
• Cheng Hu initially refused because Old Zhang was vital to the convoy, but Luo Fan raised his offer to 400 kilograms of baby bok choy and 100 kilograms of apples.
• Cheng Hu asked Luo Fan how he would ensure Old Zhang’s safety.

Luo Fan negotiated a food deal with the Supreme Convoy and joined Zhang Qing and Lian Ziqiong in tracking Rose. After following the Compass for more than ten hours, he found Rose and confronted her on the road.
