Background / History

Reincarnation and the Cao Family

An orphan in his previous life, Cao Fengqi awakens on a devastated Blue Star with the memories of an eighteen-year-old member of the Cao family. His new household lives in a cramped shelter under the threat of the evil god’s invasion. The body’s original owner had nearly died pursuing Moonlight Worms for Wu Qianqian and had already exhausted five Lost Land lives 1 2.

Unlike his predecessor, he immediately accepts Cao Jiancheng’s advice to abandon Wu Qianqian. The affection of his new parents, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece gives him a family connection he had never experienced before. He initially tries to preserve some of the original owner’s habits so that they will not suspect possession 1 2 7.

Becoming the Family’s Provider

After activating his cheat, Cao Fengqi begins locating supplies and surviving ambushes in the Lost Land. His early expeditions provide meat, healing liquid, spirit stones, and metal. A protective suit allows him to enter poisonous miasma, where he obtains the Arcane Musket and an attribute-enhancing flower 4 5 8.

He subsequently discovers the ruins of Cangxuan Town. After buying an Arcane Necklace and destroying a Calamity Rat swarm, he explores its underground den and finds a metal safe house containing a town map. The map identifies locations that might hold Transcendent Sequence Runes, giving his exploration a specific objective 12 19 20 21.

His growing stockpile also transforms the family’s living conditions. He supplies metal for expanding their shelter, while his relatives furnish and decorate the new rooms. He later buys protective clothing for the entire household rather than continuing their former austerity 24 27 38.

Xiao Youya and the Mystic Devouring Beasts

While trading with Xiao Youya, Cao Fengqi detects level 6 Worldweaver advancement information hidden inside her level 4 Iceheart Crystal Pearl. Rather than exploiting her ignorance, he reveals the discovery. She rewards him with strengthening treasures, a backpack, and half-price purchases at her store 26 27.

His attempt to explore Klein the Apothecary’s Shop leads to a dangerous fight with a Mystic Devouring Beast. Musket fire proves inadequate, forcing him to combine his bow, defensive robe, and Swift Speed Potion to kill it. While recovering his arrows afterward, he discovers warrior technique manuals and uses his proficiency cheat to master them 27 28 29 30 31.

Further exploration reveals that stronger Mystic Devouring Beasts, Water Ghost Monkeys, and Wraith Remains occupy the town’s deeper areas. He retreats from threats beyond his current strength and begins planning around their territories instead 33 34 40.

Establishing the Cao Family

During the migration toward Tianbei Base City, Cao Fengqi detects Color-Changing Skeletal Centipedes concealed among an attacking Calamity Rat swarm. He kills six centipedes with six shots, earning the gratitude of Team 55 and a reputation that spreads to neighboring teams 35 36.

That fame also spreads his denunciation of Wu Qianqian as a “jinx.” She and her parents bring Wang Dahai to demand an apology. Cao Fengqi refuses and shoots Dahai in the leg after he threatens the Cao family, prompting Dahai to summon his father, Wang Long 42 44 45.

In front of a large crowd, Cao Fengqi breaks Wang Long’s shield with archery, then uses his movement and saber techniques to sever an arm and a leg. He also forces Ma Jiuxing to kneel. The victory establishes the Cao family among Liangmin County’s great families and overturns the belief that his strength depends solely on his musket 46 47 48 49.

Acquiring a Transcendent Sequence

To reach the rune guarded by the Mystic Devouring Beasts, Cao Fengqi uses metal as bait and launches an activated Evil-Attracting Music Box into their territory. With the beasts distracted, he finds a level 6 forging table and retrieves the Artifact Refiner’s rune from its hidden compartment 50.

He immediately consumes the rune, enters the Artifact Refiner’s Transcendent Sequence, and carries the forging table out of the territory. The beasts discover the theft as he prepares to leave the Lost Land 50.

Personality

Cao Fengqi is strongly motivated by family affection. He goes from appreciating his relatives’ kindness to fully accepting his place as their son and uncle. His earnings go toward better food, a larger shelter, and protective equipment for the household 2 10 24 38.

He enjoys praise, showing off, and teasing Dabao and Xiaobao. His modest remarks often disguise deliberate boasting, such as claiming Wang Long was too weak to force out his full strength. Nevertheless, he responds calmly to the public praise following the migration battle 5 11 36 42 49.

He distinguishes gratitude from grudges. Xiao Youya’s fair treatment persuades him to reveal her hidden treasure, whereas he cuts ties with the original owner’s exploitative friends and rejects Wu Qianqian without attempting to preserve their former relationship 16 17 19 27.

His confidence does not prevent tactical retreat: he abandons dangerous resources, limits exploration when ammunition is low, and flees stronger enemies. Against people threatening his family, however, he becomes confrontational and ruthless, even when they belong to established great families 14 24 34 45 47.
