Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 61 - 57: Mumu

"Huh?"

"Huh???"

"Huh????????"

"You already have a Zero-star (purple) Soldier Type this fast!?"

"How did you manage that!?"

Looking at the string of exclamations popping up in the chat, Qin Feng couldn’t see Don’t call me MC’s actual expression, but he could clearly imagine the look of pure shock on the guy’s face.

"To be precise."

"They’re actually just a Zero-star (blue) Soldier Type."

"I used the ’War Blessing’ skill that comes with my King of War Talent to temporarily raise them to the Zero-star (purple) level." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Don’t call me MC immediately sent a frantic message:

"Damn it!"

"Bro!"

"What’s the difference?"

"Good grief... If I hadn’t already asked my friends, I’d seriously suspect you’re some old-timer I know who secretly went through Rebirth and is just pretending to be a noob to mess with me!"

"Ugh, forget it. I won’t ask. And don’t you dare tell me where you got those Zero-star (purple) soldiers. Let’s just get straight to discussing how to clear the Lost Secret Realm!"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and pressed,

"You really don’t want to know, bro?"

Don’t call me MC replied with the desperate finality of someone giving up, every word dripping with resolve:

"I don’t!!!"

"And you’d better not tell me!!!"

"It’s just the usual stuff anyway! You awakened an awesome Talent! Got an awesome treasure! Recruited an awesome hero! Earned the favor of some awesome native! Killed an awesome monster that dropped an awesome barracks... In short! It’s the world of an Emperor Ouyang! I don’t want to know! It’ll just make my blood pressure skyrocket!"

Suddenly, a string of despairing exclamations appeared in the chat box:

"Fuck!"

"I’m done for!"

"I just remembered the time I spent 50,000 and still didn’t pull the limited-edition Luquina and Qiqi, only for my cousin to get them in two single pulls!"

"Why does this stupid memory haunt me like a ghost trying to claim my soul!"

"AHHHHHH!"

"SOB SOB!"

Qin Feng: "..."

’Alright then.’

’I was just wondering how to explain all this.’

’Since the great MC has already guessed the gist of it and personally asked me not to go into detail, I might as well grant him his little wish. No point in crushing his unlucky heart any further.’

"Fine."

"I won’t say any more then."

"Right now, there are two of us. We still need one more person to enter the Lost Secret Realm. Do you have anyone in mind, great MC?"

After a long pause, Don’t call me MC sent a message, his tone finally a bit calmer:

"How about my cousin?"

"She’s a girl, but she’s amazing at games, and as for her luck... Fuck! It’s over! The buried memories are coming back to haunt me again! AHHHHH! Why is my luck so damn bad?"

"I don’t want to be an unlucky sap!"

"SOB SOB SOB!"

Just then, a new private message popped up in front of Qin Feng. The preview box clearly showed, "I’m MC’s cousin..."

Qin Feng quickly clicked open the private chat, where a crisp line of text appeared.

[Mumu: I’m MC’s cousin. Ignore my cousin, he’s having another unlucky-person anxiety attack. I’m not kidding, it’s a real psychological condition... You wanted to discuss how to clear the Lost Secret Realm? Talk to me.]

[Tingfeng: ???]

[Mumu: You don’t believe me? I have a psychologist’s diagnosis right here. It says that because his luck has been so abysmal his whole life, he’s developed a conditioned anxiety response. Whenever he witnesses or recalls an act of an Emperor Ouyang, it triggers a stress-induced Scream, accompanied by a breakdown in his chain of logical thought—what’s commonly known as ’turning into an idiot.’]

[Tingfeng: .]

[Mumu: ?]

[Tingfeng: Ahem, it’s nothing. I was just marveling at how you two cousins both really enjoy explaining things to people...]

After a pause, Qin Feng continued speaking into the private chat using voice input:

"Then let’s have the three of us do it."

"But I’ve never done one of these things before. Besides the Divine Chosen Soldiers to help fight and some Healing Items for recovery, I’m not sure if we need to prepare anything else."

The player named "Mumu" replied instantly:

"No need."

"The Lost Secret Realm is basically just a challenge dungeon."

"It’s only Zero-star (purple) difficulty. My cousin and I could both solo it for you."

"He was just worried that if we carried you through it, you wouldn’t learn the proper techniques and mechanics, and you’d end up wiping in other Lost Secret Realms later on. That’s why he didn’t just offer to carry you."

Realization dawned on Qin Feng:

"Ohh!"

"So that’s how it is?"

’I knew it. As a Reincarnated Player, MC has a wealth of game experience and has had all this extra time to develop. Of course he could solo this Lost Secret Realm with his high-level soldiers!’

"So, should I use the Key and enter the Secret Realm right now?"

"Go!"

[You have used the Key to the Lost Secret Realm, opening a Teleportation Gate to an unknown dimension!]

[Please summon your teammates... "Don’t call me MC" and "Mumu" have answered your call and arrived to assist you!]

[Please select your five soldier followers... You have selected the Desert Giant Wolf!]

[Challenge Start!]

A humming vibration reverberated as if space itself was being violently torn apart. Qin Feng felt the scene before him begin to twist and distort, like an ink wash painting bleeding across a scroll.

The bustling workshop of his territory, filled with busy artisans, was instantly replaced by a deep, dark Dungeon.

Moisture seeped from the moss-covered stone walls. Rusted iron bars cast web-like shadows in the faint light filtering through cracks in the vaulted ceiling. The air was thick with the metallic stench of dust and rust.

Beside Qin Feng, in addition to the five Summoned Desert Giant Wolves, stood two human figures dressed in modern clothing.

One of them, a man who looked to be in his thirties with stubble and a goofy smile at the corners of his eyes, was clearly MC.

And next to MC, a young woman with a high ponytail was particularly eye-catching. She had her white shirt neatly tucked into high-waisted pants, the waistline tracing a smooth curve that accentuated her tall, slender figure.

Through the slightly open collar, the delicate lines of her collarbone were faintly visible.

Yet her eyes, which tilted up slightly at the corners when she looked down, were utterly devoid of warmth. Her indifferent expression and alluring figure created a strange contrast, like a blade carved from ice, radiating a "keep your distance" aura.

Behind the two of them stood a group of ten soldiers in gleaming armor. Their metal pauldrons shone with a cold light in the dimness, and sharp gazes peered out from the slits of their helmets, like an iron legion ready for battle.

[Soldier Name: Heavy Armor Guard]

[Life Value: 611/611]

[Weapons: Radiant Sun Long Spear (Purple), Shield of Radiant Sun (Purple)]

[Equipment: Holy Purple Gold Flower Heavy Armor (Gold)]

[Mastered Skills: Iron Wall, Heavy Infantry Defense Array]

[Power Assessment: Zero-star (Gold)]

[Description: Although their movements are rather slow, both their physical and Magic Defense have reached astonishing levels, making them veritable "iron tanks." Even a full charge from Heavy Cavalry would find it incredibly difficult to break through the Heavy Infantry Defense Array they form.]
