Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

Taking a bite, the aftertaste was endless; the flavor that exploded in that instant made Lucien close his eyes in enjoyment.

Ding: Because you consumed an Immortal Grade ingredient, your Agility attribute has increased by 10 points.

Although his Luck was high, he didn’t comprehend any skills.

After a long while, Lucien finally opened his eyes.

"Not bad. It’s incomparably delicious; such a delicacy could only exist in the heavens."

Facing Lucien’s praise, Mia merely smiled.

She had long since grown accustomed to such compliments.

However, no matter how good the praise, it wouldn’t help her culinary skills.

What she needed now was for someone to point out the shortcomings in her cooking.

Only by identifying flaws could her culinary skills reach the next level.

In fact, at this moment, she actually felt a bit nostalgic for the time when she had just learned to cook.

Back then, although she was very talented as a chef, everyone could at least point out some deficiencies.

Now that her cooking was getting better and better, fewer and fewer people offered their opinions.

She wasn’t like some people who only allowed others to praise them and forbade anyone from pointing out their flaws.

Only those who truly lacked ability would feel angry when others pointed out their shortcomings.

Just like the Nine Great Guilds—which ordinary player would dare to speak ill of them?

If anyone dared to mention the Nine Great Guilds’ flaws, they would immediately be labeled with accusations or even face mortal danger.

"However..."

Just as Mia was about to leave, she heard Lucien continue and immediately became serious.

"However, what?"

Lucien said, "If a bit of red sophora flower honey could be added, it would be even better."

Mia pondered for a moment, recalling the taste of red sophora flower honey.

She continuously simulated in her mind what the combination of these two flavors would be like.

But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t figure out the relationship between the two.

"Why do you say that?" Mia asked curiously.

Lucien said, "Actually, it wasn’t me who said it; it’s the result detected by one of my skills!"

Upon hearing Lucien’s words, Mia’s heart suddenly raced.

With excitement, she asked, "Could it be that you possess the legendary ancient secret technique, the Insight Skill?"

Lucien nodded and said, "Yes, I indeed obtained the Insight Skill!"

Hearing that he truly possessed the Insight Skill, Mia’s hand trembled involuntarily.

"Sir, could we go to my office to discuss this in detail?" Mia invited.

Is there another quest?

Lucien was somewhat puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "In a moment. I’ll go after I finish my meal."

"Alright, then I’ll wait a moment!"

Mia stood right next to Lucien, watching him eat as if she were afraid he might run away.

Because someone was standing there, Lucien felt very uncomfortable while eating.

He finished his meal quickly, and Mia led him to her office on the fourth floor.

"Sir, do you really have the legendary Insight Skill?" Mia asked with a serious expression.

Lucien nodded, confirming that he indeed had the Insight Skill.

Mia took out a map.

Handing it to Lucien, she said, "This is a map drawn fifty years ago by the legendary explorer Zhang Qian."

"It not only records the vast majority of places known to people in the entire world, but also many secret realms, strange lands, and even the Four Lost Empires."

"However, there is a restriction on it; only someone with the Insight Skill can see the routes on it."

Hearing that there were countless secret realms, Lucien’s mouth nearly watered as he looked at the map.

As for the Four Lost Empires, Lucien had never heard of them.

But just the secret realms alone sounded like they would contain countless treasures.

How could Lucien not be tempted?

"And the red sophora flower honey you mentioned is a specialty of the Red Miasma Secret Realm."

"But only Zhang Qian could enter that Red Miasma Secret Realm."

"Since his disappearance, red sophora flower honey has long been out of production."

"I hope you can use this map to find out what needs to be done to enter the Red Miasma Secret Realm."

Lucien took the map and looked at it. Although it didn’t look large, it was like a map on a smartphone.

As long as he entered the place he wanted to go, it would be displayed immediately.

There was also a red dot on the map, representing his current location.

Nearby locations and monsters were also marked in great detail on the map, making it very convenient to use.

Lucien searched for the Red Miasma Secret Realm, and its location was immediately displayed.

Even the monsters inside were clearly marked, and the entry method was naturally shown.

Mia asked somewhat nervously, "How is it? Is there a way to get in?"

Lucien nodded and said, "Yes, there is a way to enter. You just need five thousand gold coins and this map."

(Gold coins are just a name; they aren’t actually made of gold. You can think of gold coins as energy bodies!)

Mia pondered for a moment and then said, "Presumably, you are the only one who can use this map now; to anyone else, it would be as useless as scrap."

"If you promise me two things, I can give you this map for free!"

Lucien’s eyes lit up; this map was a real treasure!

For him, the value of this map even surpassed that of a Divine Artifact.

Lucien had just taken a look, and many secret realms that were exposed in later generations were recorded on it.

Some of those secret realms even contained Immortal Grade or Divine Grade items.

"What things? As long as I can do it, I will do my utmost!"

Mia said, "The first is the red sophora flower honey. Help me obtain some red sophora flower honey within a month."

This wasn’t difficult. Lucien had just checked, and the highest-level monster in the Red Miasma Secret Realm was only level 60.

And the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees that produced the red sophora flower honey were around levels 35 to 40.

Given a month, with his strength, he should be perfectly able to get the red sophora flower honey.

As for why Mia set a time limit for him, Lucien also understood.

Perhaps she was a bit impatient after learning there was a way to make food even more delicious.

Actually, Lucien was overthinking it.

It was entirely because the shelf life of this Immortal Grade Seven-Colored Fish meat was very short.

Even with a backpack that had very strong preservation properties, the shelf life was only ten days.

However, Chunfeng Restaurant had a special method that could extend the shelf life of the Seven-Colored Fish meat to forty days.
