For example, polygamy...

Being the most prosperous super family in Jiangnan, it was nothing unusual for the patriarch of the Zi Family to wed several wives.

His father, Zi Chen, had seven wives and concubines in total, naturally resulting in many children.

But what Mo Qingchen found miraculous about his father was that, out of the seven wives and concubines, only his own mother gave birth to four sons, the rest all gave birth to daughters.

That hit rate was truly something else.

"Mom, the Moon Bay Villa District in Jiangnan Capital is well-guarded, you don’t have to worry about me, just take care of yourself. I’ll come back to see you in a while."

Born into such a super family, with two elder brothers above him, Mo Qingchen naturally lived indulgently and had been roaming outside since the age of 16.

However, this guy did have some boundaries; he never stirred up major trouble, but small ones were never-ending. Given his family’s influence, there was always someone to clean up after him.

He was educated by his father countless times but still did not change his ways, eventually getting kicked out and having his financial support cut off.

In his father’s words, "Don’t show up in front of me, do whatever you want, it’s best if you die outside!"

Unfortunately for his father, Mo Qingchen not only had his mother and various aunties backing him but also had several sisters who supported him, at worst he could even rely on his younger brother, so he still lived a thriving and playful life outside.

Until a month ago, when the world changed drastically, he started taking himself seriously and felt a different kind of rumble inside for the first time.

He wanted to investigate and understand the truth behind these mysterious realms descending upon the world, or rather, these game-like dungeons!

Having finally gotten past his mother, Mo Qingchen turned his attention back to the television.

"This station reports, the Empire will send the latest notification, the global secret realms have been descending for over a month, and after research by the Empire’s scientific institutions, the rules of the secret realms are largely confirmed, thus the following notification is made to all Empire citizens."

Three types of secret realms have been discovered, differentiated by the color of the Space-Time Gates, ranked from low to high as Ordinary (white), Elite (green), and Rare (blue).

The white secret realm corresponds to levels 1~10;

The green secret realm corresponds to levels 11~20;

The blue secret realm corresponds to levels 21~30.

The Empire will lift the restrictions today, allowing all citizens to enter the secret realms for exploration and adventure starting today.

But the official especially reminds!

You only have one life, cherish it while you can!

"Whew..."

Taking a deep breath, Mo Qingchen looked at the various monster image data released by the official on the TV, rubbed his brow, and fell into memories of his past life.

The global dungeon arrival, based on the monster data released by the officials, he found that these monsters were all game monsters from his memories!

Moreover, the majority of them were types of monsters from the little gaming console games of his childhood.

Such as the villains and monsters in "Double Dragon", "Hot Blood Story", "Contra", etc.

Of course, there were also monsters from large games like "Legend", "Diablo 2", etc.

But all these games turned into split dungeons appearing in reality!

Among them, some broke the dungeon limits, namely those Space-Time Gates, appearing in the real world of Blue Star, such as the Kobold tribe stronghold eliminated by the Empire’s 520 Armored Division.

Another example is the green dungeon space gate appearing in his villa’s basement!

Yes, the reason Mo Qingchen stayed obediently in the Crescent Villa District for this month was that a dungeon space gate appeared in his villa’s basement!

When Mo Qingchen discovered it, he immediately got some protective gear and sneaked in to investigate, nearly losing his life to the mouth of a Swift Dragon!

However, after patiently exploring with high-tech equipment for several days, analyzing from the terrain and monster types, he finally understood which game’s dungeon world it was.

The large global game previously played by players—World of Warcraft!

This was the low-level dungeon "Howling Cave" from World of Warcraft, a vast map with a wide array of monsters, including rare elites, consisting of a total of 10 BOSSES.

This dungeon can be entered at level 10, but when playing WoW in the past life, teams would usually best start at levels 17~22 to tackle this dungeon.

However, the global dungeon arrival transformed these dungeon worlds into reality, and the experience and knowledge from previous games couldn’t entirely encompass it!

Especially after Mo Qingchen entered the dungeon and saw the Swift Dragon in hiding, it made him more excited.

Because he finally understood how to use his Talent!

Card Absorption (Myth): Stare at the dungeon creature for 3 seconds to view the card information it possesses, stay within 1 meter of the target, and you can draw one of the target’s cards at random through guidance, each target can only be drawn once.

He saw a huge pile of cards on the Swift Dragon, which, if categorized, could be divided into three main types.

Skill Cards: Claw Strike, Tearing Bite, Basic Endurance

Summon Card: Raptor Servant Card

Miscellaneous Cards: Dragon Meat, Dragon Fang, Dragon Claw, Dragon Bone, Dragon Hide, Mutated Dragon Hide

An ordinary monster with ten cards, primarily mixed white and gray cards.

For the sake of drawing cards, someone studied the roaming route and timing of the Swift Dragon while stealthily measuring its height, length, and weight.

After a few days of research, Mo Qingchen found that the Howling Cave dungeon refreshes punctually every day at midnight.

The reason he was so sure was due to the changes in the size and color of the Swift Dragon frequently appearing at the dungeon entrance.

With two weeks of research, Mo Qingchen had basically mastered the information on this sometimes red, sometimes gray Swift Dragon.

Standing about 1 meter tall, 2 meters long, and weighing 15~20 kilograms, the time it takes to wander near the entrance of the dungeon is 30 minutes.

Then Mo Qingchen entered the dungeon and dug a 2-cubic trap on its inevitable path, placing a specially made mechanical iron cage at the bottom of the pit, and filled it with blood-scented raw pork.

A simple trap, waiting for the Swift Dragon to walk right in.

As Mo Qingchen predicted, after smelling the strong scent of blood, the Swift Dragon, though cautious, wandered around the pit a few times and eventually succumbed to the lure of food, jumping into the iron cage on its own.

Once the mechanical iron cage was stressed, several thumb-thick iron pipes suddenly emerged from the previously open top, sealing it off and trapping the Swift Dragon inside the cage.

Capture successful, Mo Qingchen checked that there were no dangers nearby and hurried to the edge of the pit.

Gazing at the Swift Dragon for 3 seconds, with the target within the 1-meter range, a prompt immediately appeared on his system panel.

"A dungeon creature with absorbable cards discovered. Do you wish to draw a card?"

Was there even any need to think about it?

Of course, draw away!

After 5 seconds of system guidance time, a card appeared in Mo Qingchen’s backpack.

At the same time, the words indicating the Swift Dragon could not be reabsorbed appeared above its head.

Without any hesitation, Mo Qingchen took out his Alloy Saber and stabbed it through a gap in the iron cage, targeting the Swift Dragon’s eyes first!

Unfortunately, even when trapped, the Swift Dragon knew how to dodge; its big head slightly shifted, avoiding a critical hit to its eyes.

The Alloy Saber merely scraped the side of the Swift Dragon’s face, only slightly tearing the Dragon Hide.

In Mo Qingchen’s field of vision, a "-2" red number appeared above the Swift Dragon’s head.

Alright then, holding a sharpened Alloy Saber but only slightly piercing the defense, one can imagine how tough this Swift Dragon’s hide was and how high its Physical Defense was.

At the same time, the detailed attributes of the Swift Dragon were revealed before Mo Qingchen.
