Chapter Summaries

Luo Fan confronted and killed Rose after she admitted betraying Ai Si to meet her professional advancement requirements. Back at the Hope Convoy, Zhao Chunfeng blamed himself for Ai Si’s death, then vanished as his promotion trial began.

• Rose admitted that she had betrayed Ai Si to advance through deception and betrayal, and Luo Fan condemned her for targeting a companion instead of an enemy convoy.
• Rose begged Luo Fan for another chance, but fled when he told her Ai Si was dead; Luo Fan killed her with three shots from the Twin-Eye Bow.
• At the Hope Convoy, Zhao Chunfeng wondered whether his divination had caused Ai Si’s death and felt guilty.
• An invisible ripple enveloped Zhao Chunfeng and made him disappear, beginning his promotion trial.

Zhao Chunfeng entered his advancement trial, which sent him back to the moment Ai Si was doomed to die, and realized he had to save him. He joined Ai Si’s fight against the Fierce Beast and fired at the beast’s eye, with the outcome left uncertain.

• Zhao Chunfeng’s guilt over Ai Si’s death fulfilled the first part of his advancement conditions, triggering a trial to save Ai Si.
• Zhao Chunfeng reappeared beside the pool as Ai Si fought a stronger Fierce Beast and Rose drove away with the treasure, abandoning him.
• Zhao Chunfeng realized the trial required him to intervene, despite being only Level 10 in the prophecy sequence.
• Zhao Chunfeng used divination to calculate the best moment to fire his handgun as Ai Si was badly wounded.
• Zhao Chunfeng shouted to Ai Si and shot the Fierce Beast in the eye as it clashed with Ai Si’s final attack.

Zhao Chunfeng passed his Fate Seer trial and believed he had saved Ai Si, but he returned to the Hope Convoy to find Ai Si still dead and realized the trial may have been an illusion. Elsewhere, Luo Fan killed Rose, arranged a delivery of food, and returned to the convoy, where Zhao Chunfeng questioned him about Ai Si and the Fierce Beast.

• Ai Si wounded the Fierce Beast, and Zhao Chunfeng advanced to Fate Seer Sequence Level 11 after helping Ai Si defeat it in his trial.
• Zhao Chunfeng was pulled back to the Hope Convoy and found Ai Si’s corpse still there; counting his unchanged bullets, he suspected that the trial had been an Illusion Realm rather than a real journey through time.
• Luo Fan confirmed Rose was dead, recovered his arrows and her Mustard Seed Bag, then promised Zhang Qing that baby bok choy and apples would be delivered.
• Luo Fan bought 800 jin of baby bok choy and 200 jin of apples and messaged Lian Ziqiong with their location before returning to the Hope Convoy.
• Zhao Chunfeng asked Luo Fan whether he had found Ai Si beside the pool or on the nearby road and whether the dead Fierce Beast had been blind in one eye.

Luo Fan and Zhao Chunfeng discussed Zhao’s failed attempt to save Ai Si in an Illusion Realm, then cremated Ai Si and continued with the Hope Convoy. Elsewhere, Cheng Hu misunderstood Luo Fan’s relationship with Rose and ordered Yan Qiu to turn her body into a Human Puppet, while Luo Fan later found the strange fruit Rose had taken and prepared to appraise it.

• Zhao Chunfeng told Luo Fan that his advancement trial had recreated Ai Si’s death in an Illusion Realm, and Luo Fan confirmed that Rose had betrayed Ai Si and that he had killed her.
• Zhao Chunfeng revealed that he had gained the Fate Seer Sequence but could not use Divination for about thirty hours after damaging his mental energy.
• Luo Fan and Zhao Chunfeng cremated Ai Si, then the Hope Convoy resumed its journey as Luo Fan shot nearby creatures in his grief and anger.
• Lian Ziqiong and Zhang Qing returned to the Supreme Convoy with produce, and Cheng Hu wrongly concluded that Luo Fan had loved Rose before telling Yan Qiu to make her body into a Human Puppet.
• After the Hope Convoy stopped for lunch, Luo Fan opened Rose’s Mustard Seed Bag, found the strange fruit, and used the Mall’s Treasure Appraisal function to examine it.

Luo Fan stored the strange fruit and asked Murong Xuan to give him her used underwear, while worrying about the convoy’s lack of Zhao Chunfeng’s Divination. Rose survived by using her Doppelgänger, but after losing her strength she was taken in by Cheng Hu’s Supreme Convoy, leaving Cheng Hu convinced he had gained leverage against Luo Fan.

• Luo Fan appraised the strange fruit’s high fee, stored it, and took the Money Rat from the Mustard Seed Bag.
• Luo Fan asked Murong Xuan to give him the underwear she changed out of, and she ran off after saying she could accept it.
• Luo Fan worried that the Hope Convoy faced danger without Zhao Chunfeng’s Divination.
• Rose revealed that her Doppelgänger had taken all her strength, leaving her helpless after it died and her belongings were given to Luo Fan.
• Cheng Hu, Cheng Biao, Zhang Qing, and Lin Yan Qiu found Rose, and Cheng Hu invited her to join the Supreme Convoy.
• Rose reluctantly accepted Cheng Hu’s invitation, and he believed he had gained a trump card against Luo Fan.

A Sequence User found several Weird Crystals near a parked bus, only to encounter a talking Weird, while the Hope Convoy stopped to rest and discovered the bus nearby. Luo Fan scanned the bus with his Uncanny Artifact hat as the chapter ended.

• A young Sequence User found three Weird Crystals near the bus and was confronted by a talking Weird wearing a Tattered Gray-Black Robe and carrying a Tattered Gray-Brown Sack.
• One of the young man's companions later found a Weird Crystal near the same spot and noticed another nearby.
• Luo Fan received his daily check-in reward as the Hope Convoy traveled through the night, and he shot passing unranked Fierce Beasts and Weirds with his Weird Gun.
• Uncle Li stopped the convoy for a rest, and Zhao Chunfeng told Luo Fan he felt responsible for Ai Si's death because he had chosen the wrong direction for his Divination.
• A survivor reported a bus with its headlights on a little over a thousand meters away, and Luo Fan used his Uncanny Artifact hat to scan it with his mental power.

Luo Fan urged the Hope Convoy to flee after finding an intact bus surrounded by signs of a mysterious disappearance. When Li Fei found three Weird Crystals nearby, Luo Fan recognized the danger too late: a talking Rule-type Weird appeared before the convoy.

• Luo Fan rejected Niu Dagang’s suggestion to take the bus and agreed with Zhao Chunfeng to leave immediately.
• Zhao Chunfeng ordered the Hope Convoy to pack up and flee, while Li Fei found and pocketed three Weird Crystals.
• An Xiaoran pointed out that Li Fei had found three crystals, making Luo Fan suspect something was wrong.
• Luo Fan shouted for everyone to run, but a sinister, talking Weird appeared and greeted the convoy.

At the Supreme Convoy, Rose described the Hope Convoy and demonstrated her new skill as Cheng Hu weighed whether to attack. A divination warned that an attack would annihilate the Supreme Convoy, while the Hope Convoy became trapped by a newly appeared Rule-Type Weird.

• Rose told Cheng Hu that the Hope Convoy had three first-tier professional Sequence Users and that An Xiaoran had advanced by slaying a Rule-Type Weird.
• Rose urged Cheng Hu to recruit An Xiaoran, but Cheng Biao argued for wiping out the Hope Convoy, and Cheng Hu agreed to consider the attack.
• Rose revealed her professional sequence as the Deceiver Enchantress and demonstrated her Clone skill, while Cheng Biao mistook her smile for romantic interest.
• Zhang Qing divined that a war with the Hope Convoy would end in the Supreme Convoy's total annihilation, leaving Cheng Hu stunned.
• A Rule-Type Weird carrying a cloth sack appeared at the Hope Convoy, trapping Luo Fan and the others within its rules before it began taking items from the sack.

The Rule-Type Weird forced Hope Convoy survivors into a deadly transaction, devouring them when they failed to accept its book’s price. After killing the man with the three Weird Crystals and Wu Xingyu, it approached An Xiaoran and offered her the same book.

• The Rule-Type Weird demanded twenty Weird Crystals from the man who had picked up three, then tore off and ate his limbs, head, body, and soul when he could not pay.
• The Weird declared the man’s remains worth less than the price, then collected four Weird Crystals as change and kept the book and crystals.
• The Weird approached Wu Xingyu and demanded that he agree the book was worth twenty Weird Crystals; when he refused, it shrank and swallowed him.
• Niu Dagang charged the Weird with his shield, but his attack had no effect.
• The Weird turned to An Xiaoran, held out the book, and asked whether it was worth twenty Weird Crystals.

A Rule-Type Weird forced the Hope Convoy into deadly transactions, killing Wu Xingyu before demanding that An Xiaoran buy a dagger for 100 Weird Crystals. Luo Fan intervened and used his Mall's Treasure Appraisal function on the dagger, hoping to discover a way to survive.

• The Rule-Type Weird killed Wu Xingyu after he denied that its book was worth 20 Weird Crystals, then chose An Xiaoran as its next target.
• Luo Fan gave An Xiaoran two Second-Order Weird Crystals, and she accepted the book's price and bought it.
• The Weird presented An Xiaoran with a dagger and demanded 100 Weird Crystals, leaving Luo Fan unable to pay.
• Luo Fan asked to inspect the dagger, and the Weird allowed him to examine it without attacking.
• Luo Fan used the Treasure Appraisal function in his Mall and paid 2,880 yuan to reveal the dagger's information.

Luo Fan identified the short blade’s hidden lifespan cost and used it to prove the rule-type Weird’s asking price was unfair, freeing the Hope Convoy. After the others began to leave, Luo Fan said their transaction was not over and asked to continue.

• Luo Fan appraised the short blade and learned that each use cost its wielder one year of life.
• Luo Fan argued that the blade was not worth 100 Weird Crystals because it only worked on targets below the third tier and had a severe lifespan cost.
• The rule-type Weird conceded, put the blade away, and let Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy leave.
• The convoy members praised Luo Fan, while he reflected that his system had helped him escape another rule-type Weird’s trap.
• When Zhao Chunfeng urged him to leave, Luo Fan refused and asked the rule-type Weird to continue their transaction.

Luo Fan realized the Rule-Type Weird had let the Hope Convoy leave because it feared for its own life, and he insisted they continue the contest. He killed a survivor who objected, then valued his Weird Gun at 3,000 Weird Crystals, leaving the Weird unable to refute his argument about its negligible side effects.

• Luo Fan inferred that the Weird was trapped by its own rules and had offered to let them leave out of fear.
• Luo Fan's allies trusted his judgment, but he shot a survivor who objected to continuing and silenced the remaining convoy members.
• Luo Fan told the Weird to continue, and it reluctantly gave him the next turn.
• Luo Fan claimed his Weird Gun was worth 3,000 Weird Crystals because it had two rule abilities and almost no side effects.
• The Weird examined the gun, identified its rules as C-grade, and argued that they were worth at most 1,000 Weird Crystals, but Luo Fan countered that its negligible side effects justified his price.

After killing the Rule-Type Weird, Luo Fan reached Demon Hunter Sequence Lv15 and took its Weird Crystal. The Hope Convoy rested in a bus he salvaged, while Luo Fan began absorbing the crystal and an unidentified figure crept onto his bed.

• Luo Fan killed the Rule-Type Weird, reached Lv15, and picked up the Weird Crystal it left behind.
• Zhao Chunfeng and Niu Dagang praised Luo Fan, while the survivors mourned Wu Xingyu and counted only eleven people remaining in the Hope Convoy.
• Luo Fan inspected the abandoned bus, drove it back, and moved the convoy’s supplies and two beds into it.
• The Hope Convoy stopped to rest, and Niu Dagang volunteered for the night watch.
• Luo Fan tended to his Snake Scales Armor and Nightmare Nekomata egg, then began absorbing the Rule-Type Weird Crystal as a figure crept onto his bed.

Luo Fan traveled with the Hope Convoy through snowy conditions, practiced shooting, and traded vegetables for ammunition. Zhao Chunfeng announced that his Professional Sequence ability had recovered and that he could use his first Fate Soothsayer skill.

• Luo Fan and An Xiaoran woke to a snow-covered world, and the Hope Convoy prepared to move on.
• Niu Dagang suggested letting the survivors ride in the vehicles, but Luo Fan and Zhao Chunfeng argued against it to conserve fuel and preserve fair treatment for future recruits.
• The Hope Convoy set off with Zhao Chunfeng's off-road vehicle leading, Luo Fan's bus in the middle, and Niu Dagang's minibus at the rear.
• Luo Fan practiced marksmanship from the bus roof and traded fifty jin of baby bok choy for two hundred rounds of ammunition delivered by Weird after nightfall.
• Zhao Chunfeng stopped the convoy and told Luo Fan and Niu Dagang that he could use his first Fate Soothsayer skill.

Luo Fan learned that Zhao Chunfeng’s new passive skill, Peering, showed him Rose and that Divination confirmed she was still alive. Zhao Chunfeng also raised the possibility that Ai Si might someday be resurrected, leaving Luo Fan with hope and a new question about Rose.

• Zhao Chunfeng explained that Peering let him see fragments of fate, complementing his Divination skill.
• Luo Fan noticed Zhao Chunfeng kept using Rose and Ai Si as examples, and Zhao Chunfeng asked whether Ai Si could return to life.
• Zhao Chunfeng speculated that Ai Si’s soul might be summoned and restored through future skills or Uncanny Artifacts.
• Zhao Chunfeng revealed that Peering had shown him Rose and that Divination confirmed she was still alive.

Luo Fan learned that Rose was alive in Zhao Chunfeng’s future vision and reluctantly agreed to delay killing her because she might save An Xiaoran. After resting and practicing with his Weird Gun, he prepared to appraise the Weird Book he had bought.

• Zhao Chunfeng told Luo Fan that Rose was alive in the future he foresaw and would risk her life to save An Xiaoran.
• Zhao Chunfeng and Niu Dagang persuaded Luo Fan to wait and see whether Rose would save An Xiaoran before deciding to kill her.
• An Xiaoran said she was not afraid to die, and Luo Fan sighed and dropped the argument about Rose.
• Zhao Chunfeng announced a ten-hour rest, and Luo Fan spent several hours practicing with his Weird Gun before returning to bed.
• Luo Fan absorbed a rule-type weird crystal while the Nightmare Nekomata’s egg soaked up fierce-beast blood, and An Xiaoran curled up beside him.
• After his nightly check-in raised his balance to 2,617 yuan, Luo Fan asked An Xiaoran to show him the Weird Book so he could appraise it.

Rose leveled up by absorbing a Second-Order Weird Crystal, then lured Cheng Biao into the woods and killed him to protect An Xiaoran before fleeing the Supreme Convoy. At the Hope Convoy, Luo Fan appraised An Xiaoran’s Weird Book and wondered whether the Rule-Type Weird’s wares had been worth their prices.

• Rose absorbed a Second-Order Weird Crystal and increased her Deceptive Enchantress Sequence to Level 12.
• Cheng Biao gave Rose ankle boots, and she invited him to meet her in the woods that night.
• Cheng Biao followed Rose into the woods, where she stabbed him, took his Mustard Seed Bag, and escaped on a Motorcycle.
• Rose fled because Lian Ziqiong’s arrival could reveal that she was still alive to Luo Fan, and she had killed Cheng Biao after he threatened An Xiaoran.
• Luo Fan used the Treasure Appraisal function on An Xiaoran’s Weird Book and saw that the appraisal fee was 800 yuan.

Luo Fan appraised an Amplification Tome for An Xiaoran, then traded food for Weird Crystals and absorbed one while resting. When three Weirds attacked the Elite Squad, he killed all of them, but Geng Dali was already dead; he brought the survivors back to the Hope Convoy and asked Han Shanzhong what had happened.

• Luo Fan told An Xiaoran to carry and nourish the Amplification Tome, then bought and traded apples and baby bok choy for Weird Crystals.
• Luo Fan woke An Xiaoran and Murong Xuan when he heard a disturbance and spotted three Weirds pursuing the Elite Squad.
• One of the Weirds killed Geng Dali, and Luo Fan shot down the enormous second-tier Weird before killing the two faster Weirds in close combat.
• Luo Fan found Han Shanzhong and the Elite Squad's sole remaining female Sequence User, then brought them to the Hope Convoy.
• Luo Fan complained to Zhao Chunfeng about his divination and asked Han Shanzhong what had happened to the Elite Squad.

After Han Shanzhong and Lin Feifei described how a battle between powerful beings had wiped out their squad, the Hope Convoy camped and Luo Fan shared a celebratory breakfast. He revealed that the convoy had killed three rule-type Weirds in a month, then asked Han what he and Lin Feifei planned to do now that their Elite Squad was gone.

• Han Shanzhong and Lin Feifei told the Hope Convoy that fleeing Weirds had attacked their squad, leaving only the two of them alive.
• The Hope Convoy traveled through the night and camped by daybreak, where Luo Fan prepared a lavish breakfast for the Sequence Users.
• Luo Fan said the breakfast celebrated the convoy killing a rule-type Weird the previous night and revealed they had killed three that month.
• Luo Fan explained that the convoy had used or absorbed all three rule-type Weird Crystals, while Zhao Chunfeng described how Luo Fan, An Xiaoran, and Niu Dagang had advanced to Professional Sequences.
• Luo Fan asked Han Shanzhong what he and Lin Feifei planned to do after their Elite Squad was wiped out.

Han Shanzhong and Lin Feifei joined the Hope Convoy after Niu Dagang broke through Luo Fan and Han Shanzhong’s awkward negotiations. The convoy members then introduced their Professional Sequences and skills, and Luo Fan asked Lin Feifei to explain Corpse Revival.

• Luo Fan hinted at the Hope Convoy’s strength while Han Shanzhong said he and Lin Feifei would consider joining a suitable convoy or rebuilding the Elite Squad.
• Niu Dagang directly invited Han Shanzhong and Lin Feifei to join the Hope Convoy, and Luo Fan praised him for voicing the offer.
