• Ling Yi was teleported to a hotel room, saw the Tesseract brand appear on his hand, and opened the pop-up displaying his skills.

Ling Yi tested his three strange skills and discovered that Rapid Pickup could snatch visible objects through obstacles, then watched a zombie outbreak erupt outside his room. He decided to stay hidden, gather supplies, and conceal that he was a Chosen One.

• Ling Yi tested Rapid Undressing and Rapid Dressing on himself and found they removed or restored all his clothing at once.

• Ling Yi watched a street fight grow into a bloody zombie outbreak and realized the quest to survive had begun.
• Ling Yi decided not to leave his room, seek out other Chosen Ones, or reveal his identity, and concluded that he needed a disguise.

• Ling Yi used his phone screen to retrieve a teacup with Rapid Pickup and confirmed the skill could pull objects through obstacles without harming him.

• Ling Yi studied the zombies' slow movement and weak senses, then went up the stairs while thinking about using water vapor or air as a reusable pickup target.

Ling Yi surveyed the hotel and discovered that the zombies were evolving, so he decided to start clearing them out before the second stage. After two days of preparation, he fired a shotgun at a room lock, drawing zombies from across the hotel and outside as one trapped zombie blocked the inward-opening door.

• Ling Yi inspected the surveillance feeds and found zombies throughout the hotel, supermarket, and surrounding area, but his Chosen One system showed no deaths or points from killing them.
• Ling Yi found more guns and ammunition, then used Rapid Pickup to bring food and water through holes he created in the floor.

• Ling Yi tested his skills and planned to use clothing and armor creatively before heading out on the third day to clear nearby zombies.
• Ling Yi blasted a room’s lock with his shotgun, attracting zombies from inside and outside the hotel, but the zombie behind the inward-opening door prevented him from opening it.

• Yan Wuqie recognized the underground passage beside the hotel as the entrance to a supermarket.

Ling Yi drove away Yan Wuqie’s group, spent the first stage clearing zombies, and built a remote surveillance setup to kill them through screens. When the mission ended, he stayed behind, aiming to raise his rating and improve his skills.

• Yan Wuqie and his companions fled after realizing Ling Yi had killed hundreds of zombies and was far stronger than they had thought.
• Ling Yi cleared zombies around the inn for days as they evolved, then worried that their speed and strength would eventually overwhelm him.
• Ling Yi installed cameras around the area and learned to use Rapid Pickup to place air near a zombie’s head, killing it remotely through surveillance feeds.
• At midnight on the eleventh day, Ling Yi’s mission showed as complete, and the number of Chosen Ones remaining in the world fell from eighty to twelve.
• Ling Yi learned that higher mission ratings granted more points and better skill rewards, and decided to keep surviving for a higher rating.

Ling Yi fell asleep while monitoring the hotel, then formed a team with Fan Shuang'er, who used the nickname Harley Quinn and offered her camera-hacking ability. After agreeing to share half her points, they began using her citywide camera feeds to clear zombies.

• Fan Shuang'er watched Ling Yi eat from her safe spot in a nearby commercial building and explained why she needed his help to pursue a high rating.
• Ling Yi asked Fan Shuang'er to provide camera feeds, then began bursting zombie heads on the monitors with his ability.

Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er cleared Shikagou of zombies and planned to secure more cities, while Ling Yi questioned whether Mission Worlds were real. As they traveled toward Will City, their discussion of other worlds ended with Fan Shuang'er insisting that Blue Star was the universe’s only planet with intelligent life.

• Fan Shuang'er helped Ling Yi clear half of Shikagou of zombies in one morning, while Ling Yi questioned the belief that Mission Worlds were fake.

• On the thirteenth day in the Mission World, Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er met in person, boarded his RV, and traveled west with her drones monitoring the road.
• Fan Shuang'er said the zombies were evolving rapidly, and she described a Mission World inhabited by aliens whose planet faced ecological collapse and a dying sun.
• Ling Yi suggested the alien world might be a parallel world on another planet, but Fan Shuang'er argued that Laote's selection of Chosen Ones from Blue Star proved no other intelligent life existed.

Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er traveled toward Gabri City, avoiding Wanjin Group Chosen Ones and settling in a villa. While Ling Yi rested, Fan Shuang'er reflected on his strength and the secret that an S rating would launch the official Chosen One Brand and make its first achiever a target.

• Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er left Wilte City with a trailer of cameras and drones, then used the drones to clear zombies from a town near Gabri City.

• Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er inspected a villa, where Ling Yi collected a shield and greatsword and Fan Shuang'er cooked dinner.
• Fan Shuang'er ate separately because her mask could not be lifted like Ling Yi's, and Ling Yi wondered why she hid her identity so carefully.
• After Ling Yi fell asleep, Fan Shuang'er considered how his strength could help them earn an S rating and recalled that the Chosen One Brand was still in a test phase.
• Fan Shuang'er knew an S rating would officially activate the Brand and make its first achiever a target, but she could not identify Joker or understand his abilities.

Ling Yi accepted Yan Wuqie and Chi Hu as followers under agreements that gave him their points and kept them at a distance, then worked with Fan Shuang'er to secure Bree City and survive the evolving zombie stages. As intelligent, heavily armed zombies gathered around the city under a dark-gold leader, Ling Yi decided to make Bree City a forbidden zone for them.

• Yan Wuqie and Chi Hu asked to follow Ling Yi and offered him all their points in exchange for protection; Ling Yi accepted agreements that also required them to stay two kilometers away from him and Fan Shuang'er.
• Ling Yi cleared the zombies from Bree City and took control of its power station, while Fan Shuang'er established extensive surveillance with cameras and drones.
• Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er passed the second stage with an E-rank rating, then survived the third as zombies evolved armor, speed, and basic intelligence.
• After a month, the group entered the fourth stage, where zombies had learned to use vehicles and weapons, and Fan Shuang'er revealed that she had positioned three high-resolution satellites to monitor the surrounding area.
• Fan Shuang'er showed Ling Yi an army of zombies surrounding Bree City and a towering dark-gold zombie leading them; Ling Yi chose to intimidate the zombies rather than kill their leader and declared that Bree City would become a forbidden zone for them.

Ling Yi used displays of overwhelming force to drive the intelligent zombie leader away from Bree City and keep zombies beyond a warning line. On the seventh stage, he and Fan Shuang'er discovered that another Chosen One remained nearby, and Ling Yi decided to use the zombies to find them before the stage ended.

• Ling Yi carved a warning trench, killed zombies that crossed it, and blasted the zombie leader's arm to make it retreat from Bree City.
• Ten minutes later, Ling Yi destroyed the leader's regrown arm from a distance, and the leader stayed away while Bree City remained free of zombies for a month.
• On day sixty-five, Ling Yi and Fan Shuang'er saw that only five Chosen Ones remained and realized an unknown fifth person was nearby.
• Fan Shuang'er concluded the unknown Chosen One was likely inside Bree City's safe zone and urged Ling Yi to find them before the seventh stage ended.
• Ling Yi agreed to find the person if they were from another country and proposed asking the intelligent zombies to locate them.

Ling Yi and his allies eliminated Suha, leaving only four Chosen Ones in the Mission World, and waited for the seventh stage to end. When a Chosen One earned an S-rank rating, the Chosen World and Points Store opened, the Chosen One Brand update began, and Ling Yi received an S-rank reward, new skills, points, and a World Imprint.

• Ling Yi killed Suha after drones found him hiding in a school storeroom, leaving Ling Yi, Fan Shuang'er, Yan Wuqie, and Chi Hu in the Mission World.
• Ling Yi learned from Yan Wuqie and Chi Hu about point trading, the Shadowers, and the Chosen One organizations in Ancient Country.

After returning from the Mission World, Ling Yi discovered that his viral accusations against Li Fei had become part of a campaign targeting Wanjin Group. He learned Li Fei had targeted him because Hong Yunying had pointed to Ling Yi while rejecting Li Fei, and the chapter ended with Li Fei threatening to kill him.

• Ling Yi returned to reality, tested his Transport skill, and went to sleep after hiding the clown mask.

• Li Fei called Ling Yi and threatened to kill him, and Ling Yi cursed at him and hung up.

Ling Yi extorted 1.2 billion from Li Fei to take down a video and post a statement, but his statement only fueled public outrage. TTZ told him that the Church of Truth had attacked Li Fei’s escort and rescued him, leaving Ling Yi to face Li Fei’s escape and the threat of the anti-Chosen One group.

Ling Yi entered a newly assigned Mission World, received a reputation mission and three temporary skills, and found himself in a poor courtyard with a randomized appearance. After soldiers announced an attack by Cloud Mountain bandits, he seized a terrified scholar for answers, while a tavern owner recognized that Ling Yi was an unfamiliar outsider.

• Soldiers announced that Cloud Mountain bandits were attacking and ordered everyone indoors, while a frightened scholar ran from Ling Yi.
• Ling Yi caught the scholar and brought him into a tavern to ask about the bandits, and the owner asked whether Ling Yi had come from out of town.
