MTL - Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life - Chapter 65

Deep below the earth's surface, a mystifying subterranean seascape lurks, an archipelago bathed in inky blackness where suspense and horror hold court. Here lie strange islands and even stranger monsters, far beyond the realms of human imagination. In this domain, mankind is far from dominant; instead, madness and death rule supreme.

Pleading for mercy from the unknown creatures of the deep only leads to a slow, tortured existence. The trapped survivors gradually distort, losing what made them human, both physically and mentally, to the gloom as they remain trapped in this eternal obscurity. Their only hope? A perilous expedition into uncharted sea territories.

Fueled by determination, Charles embark on this daunting voyage aboard his steamship, aiming to reclaim humanity's past glory. Together with his crew, they sought a way out of this hidden sea world, a path back to the sunlit world above, where humans once stood tall.

=========================================

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?

Dear readers! Without any ads, maybe you will prefer .

There’s an ancient saying in Great Ruins, ‘Don’t go outside when it’s dark.’

Mu Qi, the owner of dual abilities, was killed in the final battle between humans and the Zombie King.

Good news, Mu Qi passed through after his death.
Bad news, dressed as a non-human.

Mu Qi, who was seriously injured just after passing through, was rescued by Lu Zhao who was in the middle of the exercise.
Mu Qi, who was just recovering from a serious injury, was forced to accept that he was expelled from his membership and became a male worm.

However, before he could adapt to the Zerg, his life-saving benefactor squatted into the orange with a black pot on his back.
Mu Qi was preparing to save his life-saving benefactor non-stop, and then found that he was off the list.

Imperial Major General Lu Zhao was convicted of attacking a male worm and caused serious injury, and faced compensation for star coins, which led to his bankruptcy and even his life.
Except for his boss and the female in the same army, no one believed that he was wronged. He was already ready to die, until that night, a male with black hair and black eyes stood in front of the cell and asked he.

“Are you willing to be my second metamorphosis guide female?”

The male worm brought him hope, cleared him of his suspicions, and let him return to the military, giving him all the freedom and tolerance he could not imagine.
Lu Zhao thought that he was willing to do anything for Mu Qi.
**
The marriage of Imperial Blade was not optimistic at first. The bugs on the star network were ready to watch jokes, but they did not want to start with a live broadcast trial, and things developed out of control.

“Shocking my female father for a hundred years, it turns out that the Zerg really has such male insects?”
“House bugs, beat me up on the public screen!”
“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made a conclusion without authorization from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn’t have been slapped in the face to the point of being swollen…”

Comments similar to the above have appeared frequently on the star network since then.

Edible Guidelines:
Main attack, more males than females
may have raw eggs
Writing novice, logic feeds the dog
