I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

```

Chen Miao weighed the so-called Virus Potion in his hand.

His task chain was clearly destroyed already. According to the task flow, he should have handed over the potion to the research institute by now, and then used it to develop more Virus Potions to embark on his world destruction mission.

That was his task.

He had been randomly assigned to the villain faction, so naturally, he had to do what villains do.

But now the villain faction's task chain was ruined. Somehow the enemies had learned the research institute's location beforehand and destroyed it, which meant that shortly after the secret realm had started, the villain faction could choose to accept failure.

There was no room for maneuver.

But... not entirely without.

Their task was to destroy Wazi City within the secret realm in three days, but it didn't necessitate the use of the Virus Potion. Other methods, such as sufficient firepower, could also suffice...

The city's inhabitants were not Supernaturals; they were just a bunch of ordinary people.

In the face of sufficiently widespread firepower, this could be achievable.

The second option was to activate the "Zombie Generator." Turning on this item would cost 100,000 Star Coins, but its effects were evident, able to summon up to 10 million zombies, sufficient to complete this apocalyptic mission.

Even with the task chain disrupted midway, he still had two backup choices. Yet, both options shared a clear common point, which was that they involved a significant expenditure of Star Coins.

Simply for a perfect clearance rating of an E-grade secret realm.

Was such a massive spending of Star Coins worth it?

Chen Miao checked his balance.

He had a substantial actual balance of 280,000 Star Coins.

Not a small amount.

Just the reward for passing the Hell Bus's challenge was a whopping 100,000 Star Coins, plus the 140,000 Star Coins in tickets from the passengers, and what he had saved up previously. Not to mention the sporadic spending these days; he still had a total of 280,000 Star Coins in his account.

But maybe he was just used to being poor.

He always felt penniless, perhaps because the Supernatural Store owner's promised final payment had not arrived yet, lending him a sense of insecurity. Otherwise, with tens of millions of credit points stuffed in his pocket, he could convert to Star Coins whenever he pleased.

Why would he feel short on money?

Now he had to set aside 100,000 Star Coins for the next Nothingness Space upgrade. Besides perfect clearance of two E-grade secret realms, the hardened condition for the next upgrade was the expenditure of 100,000 Star Coins.

He also needed to save some Star Coins for making bullets. No one knew what would happen next, and if he ran out of Star Coins and couldn't produce bullets, that would be a fatal blow for a gunman.

In other words, he wasn't incapable of perfectly clearing this secret realm.

But it would come at the cost of 100,000 Star Coins.

Was it worth it?

"Not worth it!"

Chen Miao shook his head firmly and quickly made up his mind. He prepared to give up this secret realm and the world destruction task, to just quietly stay in the city for a day and a half, and leave this secret realm when the completion rate reached 50%, moving on to the next E-grade secret realm.

There were plenty of unexplored E-grade secret realms.

Was there any need to pour so much money into one E-grade secret realm?

It would be utterly wasteful.

Wasting a day and a half wasn't a big deal; he had nothing to do these days anyway. Moreover, it wasn't really a waste, since he did sort of clear an E-grade secret realm, although the clearance rating wouldn't be very high. A mosquito's leg is still meat, after all.

"Let's do it this way."

Chen Miao shook his head, "Moving on to the next secret realm is the plan. After all, perfectly clearing a secret realm is not an easy task. We can't expect to perfectly clear every secret realm we enter, as if we were cheating."

"Not good."

"We'll stay for a day and a half, wait for the secret realm to end, then go find the next realm. The world destruction task is temporarily abandoned, as we can't complete it."

"Oh oh."

Hungry Monkey grumbled dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for those two who popped up out of nowhere, we definitely could have completed the task chain. They knew the research institute's location before us, it's not fair; the disparity in information between the two factions is too large."

...

Chen Miao didn't say much, just took Hungry Monkey to a hotel in the city and after smoothly checking in, they waited tranquilly for the secret realm to end.

The intelligence of the city's residents seemed not to be too high, or perhaps in the creation of the secret realm, they opted for copy-paste out of laziness. For example, he had heard at least ten newsboys shouting exactly the same thing.

The content of their cries, their intonation, and even... their faces were all identical.

Yes, the faces were identical.

"..."

Chen Miao looked at the receptionist who had checked him into the hotel with a complex expression. He had seen this face in the city at least three times. His memory was good, maybe Hungry Monkey couldn't remember at all.

But under his intentional observation.

Even those passers-by whom he had only met once, he remembered their faces.

The identical faces deeply gave him a sense that this world was extremely unreal.

It was as if everyone was created according to a template, and due to a lack of enough templates, they were repeatedly created and scattered randomly throughout the city.

Just like the ten identical newsboys.

This was a fake world.

If he had to describe the city, he felt it was more like a city in a dream, where everything felt unreal.

The secret realm is just a secret realm.

No matter how real it might appear, it's forever distinguished from reality.

Just then—

A prompt suddenly sounded in Chen Miao and his companion's ears.

'Ding, main task chain detected as destroyed; therefore, both the difficulty and the rewards of this secret realm will be simultaneously enhanced.'

'If the Villain Team completes the main task under the condition that the main task chain is destroyed, the rewards acquired from this secret realm will be doubled, and each team member will be awarded a C-grade Rare Exclusive Item, with Experience Points multiplied by 10.'

"What the hell is this nonsense!"

Upon hearing the prompt, Hungry Monkey cursed out of sheer frustration, "Miao, listen to this prompt. Is this something a sane person could come up with? The main task chain is destroyed, yet you want me to complete the main task?"

"And the reward gets doubled after completion?"

"What's the use of doubling the reward 10 times if the task chain is destroyed and the main task can't be completed?"

"Are they expecting us to slaughter the city with our bare hands?"

"If we had such strength, would we even bother with an E-grade secret realm? Isn't this a joke?"

"That's like saying, although your husband is dead, if you can give birth to your husband's child, you'll be rewarded with twins."
