Chapter Summaries

Qin Qi learned that his system could send him into simulations without advancing time in Little Garden, then chose a JoJo world route as a Hamon warrior. The simulation left him agreeing to learn Hamon from Lisa Lisa and help her fight vampires.

• As a private detective, Qin Qi investigated disappearances, encountered a vampire, and barely escaped before Lisa Lisa defeated it and healed him.
• Qin Qi asked Lisa Lisa to teach him Hamon, and he agreed to help her deal with the vampires.

After rapidly mastering the Ripple Breathing Method, he learned Ripple Overdrive from Lisa Lisa and questioned why Hamon had to pass through an object.

• Qin Qi carried Caesar to a room and joined a tired Lisa Lisa for drinks, and she began telling him how she had met Caesar’s father.
