138: Chapter 121: Mutation (Three more points for a guaranteed monthly ticket) 138: Chapter 121: Mutation (Three more points for a guaranteed monthly ticket) The Secret Realm of West Entrance County is actually not a big hot spot, nor can it even be called a difficult point for cultivation. It is the property of a certain enterprise affiliated with the Church of the Redemption Hand, and although the Redemption Hand and its power have a good reputation, they are surprisingly poor in all aspects… It is very difficult for a long-term charity organization to be wealthy. Due to the presence of water, a large number of professionals are not adapted, and because of the harsh environment and the special nature of the “Historical Secret Realm”, it is difficult to obtain valuable spoils of war (historical items brought out will disappear on their own). To put it bluntly, the advantage of this secret realm is probably that the level of strategy development is high. Even though the Magic Monsters inside are quite strong and intelligent, the danger is still relatively low, making it very convenient for actual combat practice. In the past, its duration was about ten to twenty days, and it would end as it was completely “lost to its salvation value”. If your strength is weak, go in early, stay longer, and save more people. If you are confident in yourself, go in after three or five days, and you will encounter a large number of 2-tier opponents. If you are even more ruthless, you can completely enter the secret realm again in the last few key moments based on the intelligence of the people who have come out. Towards the end, you can even encounter groups of third-tier and thoroughly researched fourth-tier monsters, and try to compete with high-end combat strength. With a strategy guide in hand and an information advantage, you can still “redeem” it, and if all goes well, you shouldn’t die. “… Something’s wrong. Why are so many people coming out?” Within half an hour of the start of the anomaly in the Secret Realm, at least three to five hundred professionals came out, most of them looking dejected, but even more, were looking bewildered. “What happened? Who am I? Where am I? How did I come out so fast?” But in the initial bewilderment, they often ran to the “Point Rankings” to see who had pitted them. “All the way safe?” “Lu Ping’an!” Such a big change, coupled with the steadily occupying first place in the rankings, had already marked who was the chief culprit. In fact, the list is quite simple, the contribution ranking only has a name plus some inexplicable points, while the “Distorted Factor Ranking” has a percentage. “12%? This history was changed by him alone by 12%? What on earth did he do?” “It’s too exaggerated. I’ve heard that the highest before was a fourth-tier who killed inside for 21 days and only got 5%.” In the past, if the “factor” of all people added up exceeded fifty percent (50%), the entire Secret Realm would collapse and end ahead of schedule. In a sense, this is also the progress bar of the secret realm. This change has consumed a lot of “pollution,” which means that the training time will be much shorter than usual… but also much crazier. Normally, ordinary practitioners end up with a change rate of about 0.01%, which can be roughly ignored. Changing history and letting those who are not supposed to live survive is an incredibly difficult thing. And a few people who live can’t change the overall situation. But if Lu Ping’an were there, he would probably happily absorb the experience, messing everything up, making the situation worse, with just one middle finger and a swear word for key characters. “Lu Ping’an? Which big person is that? A trump card in the fourth-tier? I haven’t heard of him. Is he from another province?” From the results, it seems that Lu Ping’an has made a name for himself for the first time, and people outside are discussing which super big person he is. And what exactly did he do to trigger the secret realm’s “hidden mode” right from the start? “In an instant, the water turned green, and all the Fishman and sea lizard monsters grew stronger. I almost died on the spot.” “Not to mention you, I, a third-tier, was hunting a group of Fishman soldiers when they suddenly erupted, fearlessly chasing and slashing at me in a frenzy, despite the pain, forcing me to retreat.” “It feels a bit like a super Exotic Realm transformation in reality, but normally it wouldn’t be so fast, at least it would take a few days.” “Is there a doctor? Healer or Magic Alchemist will do. One of my juniors is in a bit of a bad situation. He just went in at Zero-order and was eroded by the suddenly evolved secret realm rules.” “Overload or mutation? Oh, both? Looks like you need to rest for a while.” They asked each other and exchanged information but had no results. “No companions? Entered alone? No contact before?” In the end, the only result they got was probably a fourth-tier big shot from another province who had done something to make the secret realm go berserk directly. Why fourth-tier? Because fifth-tier can’t enter this secret realm, otherwise many people would guess sixth-tier or even seventh-tier. “Did that big shot directly confront the Evil Gods? Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been that eerie scream.” This key point was still found by someone. Those outside watching the name “1. Lu Ping’an” on the two lists felt more and more complicated. “Safe journey, huh…” This sarcastic title, no one knows who first called it out. At this moment, Lu Ping’an in the Secret Realm also felt very subtle. “…It seems I screwed myself?” In front of him was a once-normal Fishman, but after seeing him, it immediately went into a frenzy and chased him relentlessly. This inferior Fishman, which he could easily deal with before, now took a lot more effort. “Something’s wrong. It’s completely lost its intelligence and seems like a painless berserker, a beast.” “Want me to dissect it? Big Cat, some technical support?” Knowing Big Cat’s high qualifications as a Healer, Lu Ping’an always wanted to exploit some extra labor power. Big Cat was also lazy and casually dealt with it. “No need to dissect it. The Exotic Realm activated its instincts, and now it has the power it should have in its own world. From your perspective, it just has a significant increase in strength, hardware, and is nothing more than a furious, mindless beast. Oh, right, the Talent Abilities it couldn’t use before should be available now, so be a little more careful.” “Talent Abilities? What?” Weren’t these inferior slave fish monsters only capable of basic attacks? Lu Ping’an was puzzled. “Shark Fishman is not strong. Talent Abilities are common things like fury, water rockets, and such. Just keep your distance and deal with them. But they are born as a half-snake fish mutated species, capable of returning to their ancestors and repeatedly jumping mutations. They’re excellent experimental subjects; I used to keep a lot of them. I remember that the most common mutations in half-snake fish are ‘Multi-arm’, ‘Long Snake’, ‘Poison’, ‘Mind’, ‘Shark’, ‘Giant Body’, etc.” Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an felt something strange. “The multi-arm you mentioned, is it the kind with up to seven or eight arms?” “Yeah, its young form has two arms, the adult form has four arms, and the multi-arm can be stacked. I remember the ones with seven or eight arms, and you’d better go around them, as they can mostly be considered natural weapon masters.” “The Long Snake you mentioned, is it the kind with the lower half of the body turning into a snake and also able to stick out its tongue?” Big Cat fell silent for a moment, even without seeing too far away, she guessed what had happened. So, in her reply, her tone was a bit more gloating. “Yes, be careful of their snake body shooting attack. Once it bends down, beware of its jumping. It can jump high and fast, and it can also bring down a boat. Oh, and the snake’s tongue can shoot out and carries poison.” Lu Ping’an nodded; the long tail seemed to have strong mobility. “So, Giant Body? Is it the kind that was originally more than two meters tall, now can grow to seven or eight meters?” “Oh, that’s the rarest and most valuable mutation, an ancestral species activated by ancient blood. Its combat power would increase by at least two tiers, and it’s extremely difficult to kill. It shouldn’t be, Giant Body is very rare, and seven or eight meters is the adult form, which takes at least a few decades to grow…..Pft! Even though I can’t see it, I feel you’re running very fast now, did you encounter a large number of mutated species?” Initially pretending to care, but poor acting skill from Big Cat, in the end, she heartlessly laughed out loud. “Hehe, do you want me to tell you the weaknesses of each mutated species? You encountered three mutated types at once? You’re really unlucky.” On the other end, where it seemed like Lu Ping’an was running away, he replied in silence. “No, I only encountered one.” “One?” Big Cat was somewhat puzzled. You asked me about at least three different mutations, right? “Yeah, eight arms, plus long snake, plus giant body. It looks pretty fierce; even though I triggered the Exotic Realm, can the mutation happen so fast…” “…That’s not a mutation, that’s a Divine Envoy! It’s a top-tier assassin sent by that baby! That crazy kid tore open another gap; he’s gone nuts! Be careful; that thing can even perform at least fifth-tier combat power when suppressed by the world limit!” Big Cat was very excited, but Lu Ping’an remained calm as ever. “Oh. You said there are weaknesses, right? Tell me.” “What weakness, if it put its name in front of you, could you kill an elephant with a toothpick?! Run!” “…I have a plan.” In Lu Ping’an’s calm tone, there was a little more…joy? “Please, don’t plan anything. Just run away honestly, okay?” Big Cat was genuinely worried because she knew what that thing was. “No way dear, that’s just too boring, dear. Listen to me, dear, even if you don’t listen, you can’t make me stop, dear…”
