After killing the Bug Tribe’s Queen Mother, Lin Huang almost drowned in the bug horde that went chaotic. He depended on the Nails Lynx’s dimensional portal to escape the underground hive.
He logged out of the Genius Union as soon as he left the hive. As he sat on the couch in the living room of the hotel room, he began to summarize the battle.
‘I underestimated the Queen Mother’s ability. I didn’t expect it to not only break through Grimace’s illusion, but it even removed Bloody’s parasites. I was caught off guard. If I didn’t manage to summon the God Figurine’s Combat Soul in time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to kill it today.’
‘The Queen Mother’sbat power was out of my expectations as well. It didn’t die when both Lancelot and Killer attacked it. I shouldn’t be careless no matter what kind of enemy I encounter.’
Aftering up with the conclusion, Lin Huang looked at the reward he had obtained this time.
There was noplete Queen Mother card even though the Lucky Card was activated. However, he had more of the bug guardians’plete cards.
Among the dozen bug guardians that were killed, seven of them had turned intoplete cards. With the Double Reward Card, Lin Huang obtained 14 pseudo-mythical-level bug guardian cards.
One must know that a pseudo-mythical-level monster’s individual ability was just as powerful as Lancelot and Killer who were on the same level.
Moreover, now that they had turned into Monster Cards, theirbat strength was affected by Lin Huang whereby they were now on imperial-level crimson gold-rank. They were so much more powerful than they were on checkpoint 63 of the Stairway Tree now.
Lin Huang tapped on the bug guardian’s cards ordingly to look at the details.

‘Although I didn’t get anyplete Queen Mother cards, 14 pseudo-mythical-level bug guardians aren’t bad either.’ Lin Huang put away all the 14 Monster Cards after looking through the card details. The reason he did not summon them was that he recalled the stench in the hive earlier. If the bug guardians that he summoned emitted the same stench, the other hotel guests on the entire floor would surelyin about him.
He proceeded to practice sword as soon as he put away the cards.
The monsters on the Stairway Tree would refresh daily, so he would have to wait until tomorrow to begin the second round of killing.
The sword skill that Lin Huang was practicing now was called the Buddha Killer. It was a pseudo-mythical-level sword skill that he had obtained from the Fallen God Land.
He had been practicing it for a couple of days on and off. All in all, he had put in more than 20 hours.
Even with the guidance of the Sword Spirit in his body, learning a pseudo-mythical-level sword skill was much slower than learning a legendary-level sword skill.
This was because not only were the sword skill card pieces lesser every time he practiced, but he also required many more card pieces for a pseudo-mythical-level sword skill.
Usually, a legendary-level skill would need at least 10,000 skill card pieces while the better ones would need more than 30,000 card pieces. Meanwhile, pseudo-mythical-level skills basically required more than 300,000 card pieces.
That was the reason why he had only learned two new pseudo-mythical-level sword skills at the moment after learning thousands of legendary-level sword skills. This was the third one that he was acquiring.
However, he had already umted over 200,000 Buddha Killer skill card pieces. He was confident that he couldplete the cultivation of the third pseudo-mythical-level sword skill that day and turned it into aplete Skill Card.
Lin Huang practiced from nine something in the morning until past four in the afternoon. He was so immersed in practicing his sword skills, totally forgetting to check the umtion of the card pieces.
When it was almost 4.20 p.m., a notification came from Xiao Hei out of the blue.
“Congrattions, you’ve obtained pseudo-mythical-level sword skill Buddha Killer card pieces x 300,000. Would you like to merge them into aplete Skill Card?”
“Yes!” Lin Huang answered without dy.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Hei’s second notification soon came.
“Congrattions, you’ve obtained aplete Sword Skill Card Buddha Killer (pseudo-mythical-level) x1”
Lin Huang looked at the time after he was done cultivating the third pseudo-mythical-level sword skill. Noticing that it was not the time for dinner yet, he began looking at the fourth pseudo-mythical-level sword skill in his memory.
...
Early the next morning, Lin Huang logged into the Genius Union right after he had breakfast.
As soon as he got to the Stairway Tree, Bloody began looking for the Queen Mother and bug guardians’ coordinates that had been refreshed.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang looked at the Genius Union internal news.
A headline soon grabbed his attention. The title of the article was ‘Why Did The Monster Horde Break During the Day on The Stairway Tree?’
Lin Huang clicked on the article which said that bugs rushed out of their hives all of a sudden yesterday morning and attacked the human foothold on checkpoint 63.
Many of the members were killed by the bug horde that came out of nowhere and fell back to checkpoint 1 on the Stairway Tree. After their deaths, some of them lost half of their points that they had been umting for years.
“The bug horde broke out at 9 a.m. yesterday. It was almost the same time I killed the Queen Mother and logged out.” Lin Huang roughly figured out the reason for the bug horde during the day. It should have been caused by him killing the Queen Mother.
The death of the Queen Mother caused the bug fighters to lose their minds and falling into chaos. Without the Queen Mother’s control, their destructive nature was revealed. Hence, they attacked the human foothold, causing a series of devastating events.
However, the author of the article had no idea about that. Instead, he came up with an analysis from his personal view and listed some possibilities. Unfortunately, he did not hit the point; it was far from the truth.
The author would not expect the culprit of the incident to be the death of the Queen Mother because even Chan Dou, the top powerhouse, did not possess the ability to kill the Queen Mother. The non-disputed opinion became the author’s blind spot, causing him to fail to get an urate answer.
“Seems like it’s really my fault,” Lin Huang teased himself while grinning. He had no n to own up to his mistake although it was him who caused it. “Since nobody knows about it, let’s make it a secret.”
