I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"This matter has nothing to do with us, let the Federation handle it,"

"Everyone, go about your business."

Chen Miao shook his head, not pondering the issue further. He just felt it was a pity for Lord Miao. Since these people were almost certainly doomed to die, their fate had been sealed from the beginning, so Lord Miao's sacrifice was utterly meaningless.

But deep down, he knew.

If it weren't for Lord Miao, the people of Zhenba City would have perished in the Sea of Human Suffering incident, not dying slowly as they were now. If that were the case, the gates of hell and earth would open, and it was hard to say what would happen then.

Moreover, without Lord Miao's sacrifice, he would have found it difficult to intersect with Miao at all.

One could only say that it was all fated.

Just as he thought this episode had nothing to do with him, a panel abruptly popped up in front of him.

'Ding, prerequisite conditions have been triggered, curse activated.'

'You prevented a demon's ritual, and in its rage, it has cursed you.'

'Curse effect: You will be forcibly transported into a Secret Realm two levels higher than your highest completed level, without being able to carry any item in your backpack, entering empty-handed.'

'If you survive and exit the Secret Realm alive, you will obtain the utmost worship and esteem from that demon.'

'Secret Realm selection in progress...'

'Selection successful.'

'Secret Realm Name: Poor Family's Filial Son.'

'Seven-person team Secret Realm.'

'Player will be forcibly transported to the Secret Realm in 3 minutes.'

"..."

As this panel popped up before him, Chen Miao's expression instantly darkened. Damn it, he hadn't done anything lately, at best, he only prevented the downfall of Zhenba City.

He hadn't expected the repercussions of this incident to continue. How much had he actually done? How much could he have stopped? Why didn't they go after Lord Miao? She was the main culprit, wasn't she?

But quickly, Chen Miao came to his senses. Enjoy more content from empire

He hurriedly apologized quietly in his heart.

Sorry, Little Miao.

His highest cleared Secret Realm Level was E, and the curse effect was to move up two levels, so C.

A C-level Secret Realm, damn it, was it even possible for him, a level 15 Supernatural, to enter?

As for the backpack not being allowed to contain any items, he wasn't too worried about that. With the Nothingness Space, he didn't like to keep things in his backpack anyway, as the space in the Nothingness Space was bigger.

It didn't necessarily mean entering empty-handed.

But the difficulty of this C-level Secret Realm did intimidate him.

Long ago, Doctor Gou had explained to him that below D-level Secret Realms, you just needed to fight your way through. In reality, except for the E-level Time Loop Secret Realm he had just entered, the previous realms he had cleared had indeed been a straight fight through.

And for D-level and above Secret Realms, they were mostly large-scale story-based Secret Realms that not only tested the players' strength but also their teamwork, insight, logic, psychology, and more.

It was very complicated.

Without any experience, rashly venturing into a C-level Secret Realm was practically synonymous with waiting for death.

With only 3 minutes left before being forcibly transported to the Secret Realm, time was running out. He concurrently worked on upgrading his Nothingness Space in his mind, ran towards the direction of the Tomb Guardian old man, and started searching for information online.

Multitasking.

He was incredibly busy.

At this moment, how he wished he could stop time for an hour. Damn it, if he could just stop time now, he wouldn't need to be in such a rush. No wonder it was just an E-level ability, only able to stop time during specific events; it was bloody useless.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He, who rarely used profanity, couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Soon—

He found exactly the right question on a Q&A platform online.

'What do I need to prepare for my first entry into a C-level Secret Realm?'

The top-liked answer was also very brief.

'Wait to die.'

"Fuck!"

Chen Miao's face darkened once again; he was furious that he'd wasted this precious time on such a trashy Q&A platform. He must have had a brain glitch to think he could find useful information on such an entertainment site.

To hell with waiting to die!

He had perfectly cleared two E-level Secret Realms, and the Nothingness Space was ready to level up again.

Very quickly—

Another panel popped up before him.

'Ding, congratulations on successfully upgrading your Nothingness Space to level 4.'

'Your Nothingness Space is now level 4, with dimensions of 20 meters in length, width, and height.'

'And you've received an exclusive firearm skin 'Yayu' and a production line for one caliber of ammunition, along with 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'*1.'

```

Nothingness Space upgrade successful!

The condition to level up to level 4 was to consume 100,000 Star Coins, perfectly clear two E-level secret realms, and survive a major event. After just having perfectly cleared an E-level secret realm, he met all the conditions.

At this moment, he had no time to check the conditions to upgrade Nothingness Space to level 5.

Instead, he looked immediately at the "Yayu Firearm Skin" panel to see if the Attribute Panel was suitable for the Gatling gun, which he had prepared and stored in the Nothingness Space long ago.

He had just been waiting for the right Firearm Skin.

For him, without a Firearm Skin, a standalone Gatling gun would hardly enhance his strength at all; the ten magazines of a regular Gatling were not as good as one from his Thompson Submachine Gun.

They weren't even on the same level.

But...

When he saw the "Yayu" Firearm Skin panel, a flicker of shock crossed his eyes—it was a perfect fit for the Gatling.

"Prop Name": Yayu - Gun Skin.

"Prop Level": Classless (Unique).

"Prop Effect": Can designate any firearm and activate the prop, which will transform into a skin to permanently accompany the said firearm, and will enhance the firearm's range, ammunition capacity, damage, rate of fire, and more from multiple dimensions. It will also randomly add one Exclusive Effect.

"Prop Restriction": Only for use on firearms and once applied, cannot be removed.

"Prop Description": "Born with nine tails and four ears, moves swiftly and fearless."

Not bad.

The multi-dimensional enhancement was quite suitable for the Gatling, but its perfect fit would depend on the random Exclusive Effect.

The Gatling's damage was considerably higher than the Thomson's.

So far, his three main weapons were the Thompson, the Gatling, and the Sniper Rifle.

The Sniper Rifle was mainly for fighting bosses, the Thompson for groups of minor monsters, and the Gatling for enemies that the Thompson couldn't penetrate as well as finishing off bosses when the Sniper Rifle was on cooldown.

...

While Chen Miao was rapidly completing these tasks with his thoughts, with just two minutes remaining, he found the Tomb Guardian old man, took a deep breath after seeing the smile on his face, and then spoke respectfully but solemnly.

"Old man, do you know something?"

"I'm about to enter a C-level secret realm, the Secret Realm Name is 'Poor Family's Filial Son'."

"I don't feel confident."

"There's a high chance I won't make it back alive. If you know anything, old man, please tell me. As long as you help me survive, I'll be sure to reward you handsomely. I, Chen Miao, have never broken a promise in my life."

"Heh heh."

The old man squeezed a smile onto his wrinkled cheeks, took a curved cigarette from his bosom, flattened it with his fingers, and then spoke with a raspy voice, "Young man, you don't need to be too respectful towards me, I'm just an old man hustling for food, just like you."

"To be honest, you're kind of my boss."

"I'm not some kind of sage, and I don't know much. The reason I knew you would enter this secret realm is that there's a curse on you, which I have seen, but I can't say it outright."

"Otherwise, I would be affected by that curse as well."

"I recognize that demon; he once cursed me too. I went to the same secret realm. As long as it's a C-level secret realm, you're bound to end up there because the curse can only transport people to secret realms it has cleared."

"In the C-level secret realms, that demon has only cleared this one, which is why I know you'll enter it."

"I know you don't have much time, and my knowledge about this secret realm is limited too. Regarding those three people I mentioned before, you'll meet them once you're in there. After some thought, I believe they're all bad people; you should probably kill them all."

"The only proper way to clear I could think of after a long contemplation is to imagine you're the demon since he managed to clear it, try being a demon yourself, and maybe you'll succeed."

"...Hmm?"

Chen Miao frowned slightly and after a long silence, he spoke with a somewhat deeper voice, "If this secret realm can't be cleared, the price is death. Since you came out alive, why can't you share more information?"

"Came out alive?"

The Tomb Guardian old man suddenly grinned, "Who told you I came out alive? I died shortly after getting in there, alright? I was only level 17. Thrown into a C-level secret realm, how could I possibly have survived?"

"Only because I was extremely cautious and followed other powerhouses did I last that long. Otherwise, I would've died even earlier."

"That's all the information I know."

"I really don't know anything else, but I believe in you. I think you, lad, have luck on your side and won't fall so easily here."

"Dead?"

This time Chen Miao was completely stunned and looked blankly at the Tomb Guardian old man who stood properly in front of him.

"Hey."

The old man waved his hand with a carefree attitude, "There are quite a few ways to cling to life even after death, y'know. Being a Tomb Guardian saved me; I'm not only guarding others' graves but also my own."

"Although it's just barely scraping by, it's enough to keep staying in this world."

"There's no secret realm that guarantees death. If you put your heart into it, you can certainly find a way to clear it."

"Even if you fail, it's okay."

"I can assure you will survive."

The old man looked up, grinned at Chen Miao and said, "I can also guard your tomb, taking care of one more grave isn't a big deal."
