Chapter Summaries

Luo Yu convinced Shi Qianqian to stay on Mirror Moon Island and try the Honey Water Bee Sting Training Method, which immediately strengthened her Seedling Turtle’s defense. He secretly planned to use her stay to help the Flower-Picking Bandit gather time-attribute resources and eventually build a hidden production line.

• Luo Yu explained the Sting Training Method to Shi Qianqian and said he hoped she would help promote it if it proved effective.
• Shi Qianqian agreed to try the method for a few days, and Liu Yun agreed to stay with her.

• Shi Qianqian saw the Seedling Turtle improve after one round of stings and decided to stay on Mirror Moon Island for a while.
• Luo Yu planned to use Shi Qianqian’s stay to have the Flower-Picking Bandit gather Time Turtle Honey and pursue a secret supply of time-attribute resources.

Luo Yu prepared July to gain a dependent, while the Bee Empress gained a promising poison-wielding knight. July condensed Commander Heterogeneity and contracted a newly hatched Ink Fish, ending the chapter as he tried using its Ink Spray.

• Luo Yu arranged for the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile to replenish its strength with sheep offal soup in exchange for helping July condense Commander Heterogeneity.
• Luo Yu found a Honey Water Bee egg with the Bee King and Hundred Poisons Physique talents and chose it as the Bee Empress’s third knight, the Knight of Poison.

• Luo Yu used the Infant Care Expert Ink Fish’s ink to hatch July’s future dependent, and July contracted the newborn Ink Fish.
• July imitated the Bee Empress and used his new dependent’s Ink Spray.

Luo Yu tested how July’s new Ink Fish subordinate worked, then learned about Shi Qianqian’s summoning-speed talent and agreed to train with her at sea. With the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile volunteering as their bodyguard, Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian set out aboard the Frost Moon to practice sailing and hunting zombies.

• Luo Yu found that July and the Ink Fish could be stored and summoned together, and that he could summon the Ink Fish separately as well.
• Shi Qianqian visited the Luo Yu Research Institute and demonstrated how quickly her Speed talent let her summon and recall her Seedling Turtle from a distance.
• Luo Yu gave Shi Qianqian a training schedule, and she proposed that they sail together to practice hunting low-level zombies before the Abyss Trial.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile offered to guard them, and Director Yu Lei arranged a warship for their training trip.
• Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian departed aboard the Frost Moon, with Shi Qianqian steering and July fishing for zombie sea beasts.

Luo Yu, Shi Qianqian, and July fought a growing horde of zombie sea beasts while the Frost Moon continued through the waters. Two sea thieves spotted the ship and moved in, unaware that a Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile and a woman on a flying fish had also noticed them.

• July caught and killed zombie fish, while Shi Qianqian's Seedling Turtle retrieved its crystal core; July then continued fishing and collected cores with his hook.
• Shi Qianqian detected more than a hundred zombie sea beasts gathering around the Frost Moon, and Luo Yu decided they would fight them for training.
• Shi Qianqian sent the Seedling Turtle and Luo Yu sent the Bee Empress underwater to battle the horde, while Luo Yu killed a zombie frog that reached the deck with his umbrella sword.
• Shi Qianqian revealed that the Seedling Turtle could use Time Acceleration to reach level 30 briefly, and Luo Yu surprised her with his own combat skill.
• A burly sea thief persuaded his thin companion to attack the Frost Moon and steal the time-element pet beast; their Concealment Snake pulled their hidden boat alongside.
• A Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile surfaced beneath the waves, while a woman in a qipao watching from a flying fish closed her book.

After the Frost Moon fought off a zombie attack, the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile caught two would-be robbers who claimed to know where the legendary thief Luo Zhi hid several treasures. Luo Yu dismissed the dangerous lead on the Sky Tree Fruit, but the guardian deity decided to investigate, leaving Shi Qianqian worried that she had learned too much.

• Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian reviewed how the Seedling Turtle, Bee Empress, and July had performed against the zombies, then cleaned the deck and collected crystal cores.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile surfaced with a small boat on its back and pinned two men who had approached the Frost Moon with hostile intent.
• The skinny young man offered information about an Abyss Core, a Sky Tree Fruit, and Mermaid's Tears, claiming his ancestor was the legendary thief Luo Zhi.
• Luo Yu considered the Sky Tree Fruit but decided the treasure was too risky and that Canglan Ocean University's gene potion offered a safer way to gain a Contract Slot.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile froze the men and planned to take them back for questioning, then realized it had also told Shi Qianqian about the treasure.
• Luo Yu and Shi Qianqian resumed their voyage, and Qian Lai called to say the Seven Stars Merchant Caravan would visit Mirror Moon Island to inspect the goods.

Luo Yu developed a new ranged attack for his Honey Water Bees and sold Mirror Moon Island’s enhanced honey goat milk to the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce in exchange for exclusive distribution rights and a space-element plant seed. The deal disrupted Thousand Rock Island’s milk business, and Shi Ning learned that the inferior Rock Goats she had sold were behind the loss of a major customer.

• After returning to Mirror Moon Island, Luo Yu arranged for the Flower-Picking Bandit to gather from the Seedling Turtle and divided the resulting time-element honey between two Honey Water Bees.
• Luo Yu trained a talented Honey Water Bee to compress its venom into ranged Missile Needles, and the Bee Empress and her retainers practiced the technique.
• Luo Yu and Yu Wan showed Qian Lai’s Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce team their rock-element honey and honey goat milk, and the Rock Crab’s reaction convinced Qian Lai of the products’ value.
• Luo Yu secured a deal granting the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce exclusive distribution rights to the milk in exchange for a space-element plant seed.
• The Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce ended its contract with Thousand Rock Island after choosing Mirror Moon Island’s more nutritious, cheaper milk, and Shi Ning learned that the Rock Goats she had sold were responsible.

Shi Ning was sent to investigate Mirror Moon Island after its Rock Goat milk outperformed Thousand Rock Island’s, while Luo Yu prepared the Bee Empress for battle and learned that a thief’s treasure lay in the deadly Sea of Eternal Day. The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile asked Luo Yu to breed it a lightning-type Water Devil Beast, and Luo Yu began preparing July to test the poison of a level-eleven Water Devil Beast.

• Shi Ning accepted an assignment to investigate Mirror Moon Island and planned to visit Future Town and meet the young man who bought the Rock Goats.
• The Bee Empress and her three knights learned Missile Needle, giving the Empress a ranged attack to use against the Thunderclap Eagle.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile told Luo Yu that Luo Zhi’s treasure was hidden in an underwater cave in the Sea of Eternal Day, a forbidden region filled with deadly lightning.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile asked Luo Yu to evolve a lightning-type Water Devil Beast, and Luo Yu agreed to begin breeding one.
• Yu Wan told Luo Yu that the poison-type Water Devil Beast had reached level eleven, so Luo Yu collected ink and took July to test its poison.

Luo Yu had July spar with Yu Wan’s level 11 Poison King Water Devil Beast in an ice arena, where July used his heat, magma, and terrain-shaping abilities to fight it to a standstill before Yu Wan knocked it unconscious. Luo Yu counted the match as July’s win and planned to evolve a healing Water Devil Beast using Mercy Ink Fish so future sparring could be less restrained.

• Luo Yu analyzed the Poison King Water Devil Beast’s ink poison and concluded July could withstand small amounts, though Ink Sea Raging Tide could still overwhelm him.
• Yu Wan brought the Poison King Water Devil Beast to an enclosed ice arena for a spar with July, and Luo Yu predicted July would reveal his strength after reaching a new major level.
• July used geothermal heat, magma, and a large fire pit to injure the Water Devil Beast, then raised a rock platform to avoid its ink sea and drained the arena with new pits.
• July continued pelting the Water Devil Beast with magma until it became berserk, and Yu Wan used telekinetic power to knock it unconscious.
• Luo Yu called the spar July’s win and proposed evolving a healing Water Devil Beast from more than a hundred Mercy Ink Fish, prompting Yu Wan to ask to watch the experiment.

Luo Yu and Yu Wan evolved a healing Water Devil Beast by fusing 120 Ink Fish with Mercy and one with Dominion, but it gained a senior-level healing talent rather than a top-level one. Its new Healing Bubble could cure old injuries, and Luo Yu realized its Miraculous Healing Hands might also heal soul damage and contract backlash.

• Yu Wan sent the unconscious Poison King Water Devil Beast back to its pool, then joined Luo Yu and July at the Ink Fish farm.
• Luo Yu raised a Dominion Ink Fish to level 5 and attempted to fuse it with 137 Ink Fish with Mercy, but only 120 fused successfully.
• The resulting Water Devil Beast had Miraculous Healing Hands and a new species ability, Healing Bubble, but no top-level talent.
• Luo Yu considered how talents differed in strength and wondered what might happen if Ink Fish with top-grade talents fused instead.
• Luo Yu and Yu Wan tested Healing Bubble and discovered that it could heal Yu Wan's old injury.
• Luo Yu realized Miraculous Healing Hands might heal Shui Wuyue's condition and soul injuries, including backlash from a Soul Contract.

Luo Yu tested his medical Water Devil Beast on Shui Wuyue, whose old injuries and soul damage showed signs of healing. Encouraged by the results, Shui Wuyue promised to support the beast and revealed his long-standing feelings for the shipwright who built his warship, then offered to take Luo Yu to her on Dragon Boat Island.

• Luo Yu sent a messenger bee to summon Shui Wuyue to the research institute and showed him the newly evolved medical Water Devil Beast.
• Yu Wan persuaded Shui Wuyue to enter the beast's Healing Bubble, where its healing power began treating his old injuries.
• Shui Wuyue discovered that the beast could affect the soul damage in his arm, and he pledged to fund its care and training.
• Yu Wan prompted Shui Wuyue to talk about romance, and he admitted he liked the shipwright who built and repaired his warship, the Raging Blue.
• Shui Wuyue offered to take Luo Yu to Dragon Boat Island so the shipwright could build him a personal warship for the Abyss Trial.

Luo Yu agreed to travel with Shui Wuyue after his injuries had healed, then accepted seeds for two difficult-to-grow space plants from Qian Lai. As he searched for Dripping Rain Butterflies to help cultivate them, Luo Yu discovered several unusual emotion-based talents and began investigating whether emotional energy could drive their evolution.

• Luo Yu agreed to accompany Shui Wuyue to Dragon Boat Island once Shui Wuyue had recovered, while Yu Wan stayed behind to care for the Water Devil Beasts.
• Qian Lai offered Luo Yu seeds for a Space Vortex Tree and Space Escape Grass, and Luo Yu chose to try growing both in exchange for giving the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce first chance to sell any he cultivated.
• Luo Yu summoned the Bee Empress and began selecting Dripping Rain Butterflies whose talents might help grow the space-attribute plants.
• Luo Yu found butterflies with emotion-based talents that improved plant growth, including one whose heartbreak could make accelerated plants deadly poisonous.
• Luo Yu suspected emotional energy was connected to Dripping Rain Butterfly evolution and continued searching for a butterfly with a specialty suited to keeping a Space Vortex Tree alive.

Luo Yu selected Dripping Rain Butterflies with promising talents, prepared for Shi Qianqian to receive injections, and discussed traveling to Dragon Boat Island to commission a warship. During his breeding inspections, he discovered that the More Children, More Blessings Honey Water Bees had produced an offspring with a powerful combat-foresight talent.

• Luo Yu found a Dripping Rain Butterfly with Cause and Effect Share the Same Origin, which could greatly improve its ability to ripen plants it ate as a larva, and ordered the queen bee to care for it and breed it.
• Shi Qianqian asked Luo Yu to begin giving her injections, and he told her he planned to visit Dragon Boat Island to commission a warship for the Abyss Trial.
• Shi Qianqian offered to accompany Luo Yu and use her family's Dragon Pearl Company connections to help, while her mother would continue protecting them from the shadows.
• Luo Yu reviewed his Ink Fish breeding plans, including producing Water Devil Beasts with Antivirus Master and a powerful Rock-type subordinate for July.
• Luo Yu found that the More Children, More Blessings Honey Water Bees had produced two offspring with time-related talents, including one with the senior-level Insect's Premonition talent, which could foresee an opponent's movements in battle.

Luo Yu planned the Bee Empress’s growth and began training July’s dependent Ink Fish with rock-type resources. The Ink Fish awakened Petrification, giving its ink the ability to coat targets in stone, while July imagined turning his catches into displays.

• Luo Yu decided to breed a bee with Insect's Premonition into a Knight Bee so the Bee Empress’s network could use its battle predictions.
• Luo Yu planned to keep the Bee Empress at level 20 and use her to strengthen her dependents and other insects.
• Luo Yu arranged to raise July’s dependent Ink Fish with rock-type food so it would develop stronger rock abilities before evolving.
• Over two days, the Ink Fish awakened Petrification, which made its ink cover objects and creatures in a layer of stone.
• July imagined petrifying the big fish he caught and displaying them as specimens in the research institute’s backyard.

Chen Bo developed the Doctor Capsule, which let the Thunderbolt Shrimp speak through Telepathy, and planned to give it dragon bloodline dependents. After Shui Wuyue recovered from his injuries, Luo Yu proposed entrusting medical Water Devil Beasts to retired Beast Tamers so they could return to service, and Yu Lei asked whether this was Golden Island’s military contract model.

• Chen Bo demonstrated the Doctor Capsule, which temporarily gave the Thunderbolt Shrimp Telepathy and improved its thinking.
• Luo Yu promised Chen Bo Water Devil Beasts as an employee bonus, and Chen Bo asked for Ink Fish with dragon bloodlines to become the Thunderbolt Shrimp’s dependents.
• Shui Wuyue recovered from his hidden injuries with the medical Water Devil Beast’s treatment and agreed to help Luo Yu secure funds for a warship.
• Shui Wuyue and Luo Yu told Yu Lei about the medical Water Devil Beast, and Yu Lei proposed treating retired Beast Tamers who had been injured defending Mirror Moon Island.
• Luo Yu proposed entrusting Water Devil Beasts to recovered veterans under island contracts, and Yu Lei compared the plan to Golden Island’s military contract model.

Luo Yu decided to create a disciplined Water Devil Beast legion to defend Mirror Moon Island and protect his future merchant fleet. As he and Shui Wuyue prepared to visit Dragon Boat Island, Yu Wan divined that Shui Wuyue’s romantic plans would go poorly, prompting Luo Yu to consider developing a special beauty gift for the shipwright he admired.

• Luo Yu proposed forming a Water Devil Beast legion with separate divisions for fighting zombies and protecting merchant ships, and Yu Lei agreed to select candidates.
• Yu Lei said Luo Yu would command the legion, and Shui Wuyue agreed to leave for Dragon Boat Island with Luo Yu in three days.
• Yu Wan divined that Shui Wuyue’s romantic prospects would not go smoothly and urged Luo Yu to help plan a thoughtful confession gift.
• Luo Yu suggested creating skincare products, then considered using a mutated beauty plant and Honey Water Bees to develop beauty products and injections.

Luo Yu manipulated a Dripping Rain Butterfly with the Youth-Preserving Flower talent into despair so its water could produce beauty-enhancing cucumbers, then confirmed the cucumbers changed a Honey Water Bee’s appearance. As Qian Lai arrived with the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce’s interest in Mirror Moon Island’s products, Luo Yu remained uninterested in expanding the rock-element business.

• Luo Yu reasoned that the Youth-Preserving Flower talent might produce beauty-enhancing crops and saw it as a possible ticket to the Sea of Merfolk.
• Luo Yu and the Bee Empress arranged for female Dripping Rain Butterflies to reject a newly matured butterfly until it became hopeless, then sent it to water Lin Li’s cucumbers.
• Luo Yu fed a Beauty Cucumber to a Honey Water Bee and saw its appearance become exceptionally lovely, as confirmed by the Bee Empress.
• Over the next two days, Luo Yu had more butterflies with the Youth-Preserving Flower talent driven into despair to help produce additional Beauty Cucumbers.
• Qian Lai visited Mirror Moon Island with samples of its honey and goat milk for Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce headquarters, which might invest in expanding production or buy the technology.
• Luo Yu declined to discuss expanding the rock-element nutritional product business, judging the market too small for Mirror Moon Island’s limited land.

Luo Yu planned an exclusive battleship for the Abyss Trial and offered a Beauty Cucumber as a gift for a shipwright on Dragon Boat Island. Island Lord Bai Ya joined the voyage as an escort, then tried the cucumber and regained a strikingly youthful appearance.

• Luo Yu planted a Space Vortex Tree seed and sent a note to Shui Wuyue’s house.
• Shui Wuyue, Yu Wan, and Luo Yu discussed the battleship’s crystal systems, flight capabilities, and other features.
• Luo Yu showed Shui Wuyue a Beauty Cucumber and explained that it could enhance the appearance of people and mutated beasts.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile arranged for Island Lord Bai Ya to escort Luo Yu to Dragon Boat Island because it distrusted Shui Wuyue’s ability to protect him alone.
• Bai Ya ate some Beauty Cucumber, washed away the grime it expelled, and revealed that her aged appearance had transformed into a youthful beauty.

Luo Yu and his companions reached Dragon Boat Island after Shui Wuyue drove the Raging Blue at dangerous speed, guided around a storm by Yu Wan. At their hotel, Luo Yu watched Kung Fu Seals spar and began considering how to develop their martial skills.

• Bai Ya and Yu Wan saw that Luo Yu's cucumber had made Bai Ya look decades younger, and Bai Ya promised to escort him safely between the islands.
• Shui Wuyue raced the Raging Blue toward Dragon Boat Island until Yu Wan sensed a rainstorm ahead and directed him to change course.

Luo Yu arranged for a ship to be built at the Blue Sky Shipyard, where Director Xia began to realize he might be far stronger than she had assumed. After Shi Qianqian arrived, she persuaded Luo Yu to visit Dragon Boat Island’s beast arena so July could train in its gravity room.

• Yu Wan paid the deposit for the ship, and she and Director Xia signed the contract while Luo Yu and Shui Wuyue discussed his boast about placing first in the Abyss Trial.
• Luo Yu learned that Shi Qianqian and Liu Yun had arrived on Dragon Boat Island and agreed to wait for them at the Blue Sky Shipyard.
