• Jiang Ziliu tested potion formulas until he found a sixteenth formula with a 99.1% chance of evolving the Azurite Rock Man, though it required a Soul Crystal.
• Jiang Ziliu bought the necessary ingredients and set out into the wilderness southeast of the base.

Jiang Ziliu discovered a huge reserve of Stalactite Vein Milk and turned its cavern into a wilderness safe house while strengthening himself and his tamed beasts. The chapter ended with him asleep after taking the treasure and the Azurite Rock Man undergoing evolution in the beast-taming space.

• Jiang Ziliu reached the small mountain safely, used the Azurite Rock Man to dig underground, and found roughly a bowlful of Stalactite Vein Milk.

• Jiang Ziliu concluded that the Azurite Rock Man had gained major potential and would be able to reach far higher life grades, though it needed time to adapt before another evolution.
• Jiang Ziliu turned to the Mutated Lightning Snake and decided to use Probability Judgment to search for lightning resources during the remaining third of his vacation.

Jiang Ziliu used Probability Judgment to locate a lightning-struck peach tree whose rare peaches could strengthen or evolve the Mutated Lightning Snake. He stole all three peaches from a flock of Thunder Sparrows and had four days left before school started to use them.

• Jiang Ziliu used Probability Judgment to pinpoint a nearby treasure and learned that the best one lay southwest, on a small peak.
• Jiang Ziliu found a lightning-struck peach tree bearing three ripe wood-and-lightning treasure peaches.

He captured and contracted a Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit, gaining an SS-rank ability that let him transform into another person, and prepared to begin his journey beyond the base.

• Jiang Ziliu found that the Mutated Lightning Snake had grown feathers and gained B-rank-or-higher skills, including the ability to fly, and returned it to his Beast-Taming Space to recover.
• Jiang Ziliu used Probability Judgment to locate a free-roaming Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit cub in the eastern part of the base.

After killing at least a hundred Black Iron Grade werewolves over two months, Zhang Feng became notorious, and the werewolf tribe began planning to target him.

• Jiang Ziliu processed seven werewolves and their riding wolves, collecting valuable weapons, resources, Beast Cores, meat, and a werewolf head as proof of military merit.
• Jiang Ziliu traded his spoils at Base No. 12 under the alias Zhang Feng, earned fifteen C-grade military merit points, and exchanged them for earth Elemental Crystals.
