Arc

Li Jun a Street Monk, ninth then off the list (ch. 3, ch. 13); trapped with a thousand at Vermillion 101 and freed by a train with Katia on its nose (ch. 21, ch. 22); comes to pay his respects and learns to drive it to station 36 (ch. 24). Zhang, an Earth Mover in black-and-gold armour, spends his shrinking wand's last charge on a cart (ch. 31) and drives the portal onto a god's vessel with a second to spare (ch. 32, ch. 33). Zhang is in love with Li Jun's sister Li Na, Elle reports, and Li Jun does not know (ch. 27).
