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

As the Red Acacia Jade Bee King took to the air, a swarm of Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees followed closely behind it.

At the same time, the Red Acacia Jade Bee King fluttered like a butterfly, its body releasing waves of pollen-like powder.

Those Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees went wild, rushing toward the powder.

A small portion of the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees that touched the powder began to emit a faint white light.

When the white light dissipated, the appearance of those Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees had changed significantly, becoming much larger.

Some of the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees had even grown to a size nearly equal to the Red Acacia Jade Bee King.

Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Drone

Level: 40

Grade: Gold (Temporary)

HP: 10,000,000

Attack: 3,000

Skills: Swarm Attack, Absolute Damage, Combat State, Ephemeral Life

Ephemeral Life: Only twenty-four hours of lifespan.

Description: Formed through the catalysis of the Red Acacia Jade Bee King; their only mission is mating.

With the appearance of the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Drones, the Red Acacia Jade Bee King flew even higher.

The Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Drones followed closely, as did the remaining Soldier Bees and the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees that hadn’t evolved.

In just a few seconds, they had already flown far into the distance.

Seeing this situation, Lucien’s eyes lit up.

Wasn’t this the opportunity he was looking for?

Looking at the hive not far from him, it was now incredibly quiet.

Without hesitation, Lucien headed straight for the hive.

He hadn’t forgotten his mission; he was here today to collect red sophora flower honey.

Soon, on the back of the hive, Lucien found the place where the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees stored their honey.

Red Sophora Flower Honey

Grade: Dark Gold

After use, Attack Power increases by twenty percent for two hours.

Description: Honey collected by the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees from Red Sophora flowers.

Using the Gathering Skill can preserve the quality of the red sophora flower honey; direct acquisition will damage its quality.

Seeing the description, Lucien first double-checked that the Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees hadn’t returned, then used his Gathering Skill to collect the red sophora flower honey.

"Ding, gathering failed. Gathering Skill proficiency has increased slightly."

He hadn’t expected to fail on the first try, but there was no helping it; Lucien’s Gathering Skill was currently only at the Novice level.

Even with his high Luck, it was normal to fail when trying to gather Dark Gold quality materials.

After ten seconds, once the Gathering Skill’s cooldown ended, Lucien continued to use the skill.

"Ding, successfully gathered one portion of red sophora flower honey. Gathering Skill proficiency has increased significantly."

"Ding, successfully gathered one portion of red sophora flower honey. Gathering Skill proficiency has increased significantly."

"Ding, gathering failed. Gathering Skill proficiency has increased slightly."

"Ding, gathering failed. Gathering Skill proficiency has increased slightly."

"Ding, successfully gathered one portion of red sophora flower honey. Gathering Skill proficiency has increased significantly."

...

Nearly ten minutes passed in this manner, and by now, Lucien had thirty portions of red sophora flower honey in his backpack.

Each portion weighed 0.5kg, meaning he had 15kh of red sophora flower honey.

Just as Lucien was about to continue gathering, a buzzing sound drifted over.

Hearing the familiar buzzing, he looked toward the source of the sound.

He saw the Red Acacia Jade Bee King returning with a swarm of Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees.

Upon seeing Lucien next to its hive, the Red Acacia Jade Bee King was clearly enraged, and its flight speed suddenly surged.

Seeing this, Lucien didn’t leave immediately but calculated the time.

He used the Gathering Skill on the hive one more time.

"Ding, congratulations! Your Luck has exploded, and you have successfully gathered Red Sophora Flower Honey (Immortal). Gathering Skill proficiency has increased significantly."

"Ding, congratulations! Your Gathering Skill has successfully reached the Intermediate level, and the cooldown has been reduced by five seconds."

Lucien was stunned for a moment when he heard the system notification.

Then, seeing the Red Acacia Jade Bee King flying toward him from not far away, he immediately took out a town portal scroll.

As Lucien pulled out the town portal scroll, the Red Acacia Jade Bee King’s speed increased visibly to the naked eye.

A venomous stinger was shot from behind the Red Acacia Jade Bee King, flying toward Lucien.

Seeing the venomous stinger flying at him, Lucien hurriedly used the town portal scroll.

With a flash of white light, Lucien’s body disappeared from the Red Miasma Secret Realm.

He narrowly avoided the Red Acacia Jade Bee King’s venomous stinger by the skin of his teeth.

As soon as he emerged, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been just a hair’s breadth away from being hit.

Given his HP, the opponent probably wouldn’t have been able to kill him in one hit.

However, once he entered a Combat State, he wouldn’t be able to use the town portal.

Without the town portal, he would have had to face thousands of Red Scholar Tree Purple Jade Bees and dozens of Soldier Bees alone—not to mention a Bee King comparable to an Immortal Rank BOSS.

He was only level twenty-something; there was no way he would have made it back alive from those monsters.

But now that he was out, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to check the Immortal Grade Red Sophora Flower Honey he had finally obtained, he felt that something was wrong with his surroundings.

Lucien looked up and saw that the entire altar was actually surrounded by a group of people.

Moreover, a large portion of them were members of the Gods Guild.

What was going on?

They actually dared to surround and attack him?

Had they forgotten what happened last time?

At this moment, Gods - Zhanlang was also staring blankly at the figure on the altar.

How... how could it be Falling into the Human World?

It turned out that the commotion Lucien caused when entering the secret realm had been seen by many players leveling here.

Someone had immediately reported it to the Gods Guild.

When the Gods Guild heard about the situation, they knew it was another unknown secret realm, and some reckless person had actually dared to bypass them and enter the secret realm without reporting it.

They immediately brought people to intercept the person, intending to force them to hand over all the spoils from the secret realm.

Furthermore, for such disobedient players, they would force them to mine for the Gods Guild.

They wanted to let people know that although the Gods Guild had declined somewhat because of Falling into the Human World, it was still not something ordinary players could compare to.

But he never imagined that the one coming out of there would be Falling into the Human World.

This realization left him stunned on the spot for a moment.

Not just him, but even the guild members he had brought with him were frozen in shock.

Looking at them, Lucien’s expression turned slightly cold, and he said with a sneer,

"You’re quite bold, aren’t you? Daring to show up in front of me again. It seems you think I can no longer swing my blade."

As he spoke, Nine Zombies appeared around Lucien.

Seeing the figures of those Nine Zombies, Gods - Zhanlang broke out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly explained, "It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!"

"We didn’t know it was you who entered the secret realm."

Hearing Gods - Zhanlang’s explanation, Lucien sneered,

"Oh? So you’re saying that if it were anyone else, you would have specifically sent people to surround and attack them?"

Gods - Zhanlang laughed awkwardly and said,

"This is a secret realm; it belongs to everyone. It should be reported to our Gods Guild, and then everyone can collect the treasures together. Isn’t that much better than going at it alone?"

Listening to the other man’s words, Lucien sighed.

These people...

They really are the type who won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin. No matter what good things appear, they think it should belong to them—they’re practically worse than bandits.
