Chapter 511 -513: A Protagonist Inferior to the Previous Generation
“The plan is going smoothly,” he muttered, “as a main character, one must endure some tribulations.”
Qin Muye’s idea was simple: force the protagonist into Sky Tower. The point wasn’t just entering; the protagonist had to be coerced into it, to face enough crisis and not just sail through smoothly.
The first step, of course, was to cut off his retreat, which was the crux of the matter.
So, before the protagonist boarded the plane, a crackdown on the Savior Association had already begun all over the place. This move left him with no alternative.
Of course, that was just the beginning. As the protagonist, how could he not experience the drama of family members getting kidnapped?
Therefore, he had already arranged for people to detain the protagonist’s elderly father and that unrelated sister who might have a significant background.
Of course, this “significant background” might be relative to the protagonist, but for Qin Muye, is there anyone in this world with a bigger background than his?
These actions were not necessary, but served as contingency plans. Who knows whether the main plan might fail? If it didn’t, all was well, but if it did, he had to have sufficient backup plans.
And as a backup plan, targeting the two closest people to the protagonist was undoubtedly a good choice.
Frankly, Qin Muye could never understand why those Spirit Summoners would engage in horrific acts of summoning wind and storms simply because they were the vested interests. But what about someone like Wu Yong, who dared to dive headfirst into such an ordeal, ignoring his own kin?
He seemed carefree, showing off and slapping faces all along the way within the Savior Association, but what if someone unscrupulous decided to target his family?
He didn’t seem prepared to walk the path of ruthlessness; instead, he had weaknesses yet managed to ignore them.
It must be because of the Main Character Aura. Otherwise, his family would probably only be visiting their graves during the Qingming Festival every year.
And it was even more bizarre that after joining the Savior Association, he had to endure mockery and suppression, only to rise up and fight back, ultimately shocking everyone.
The Savior Association was no easy match, and yet, strangely, they became reasonable after encountering the protagonist. If it were the Savior Associations of other states that encountered a protagonist, there would only be two possibilities: they would either cultivate him with all their might or simply crush him. There was no way a situation like that of the protagonist, with its severe contradictions and confusing resource gifts, could occur.
All these, Qin Muye could only attribute to the Main Character Aura. Otherwise, how else could one explain it? Could the protagonist’s strategies really be peerless? If he was that impressive, he wouldn’t have been led around in circles.
So, Qin Muye believed that the protagonist was simply forcibly elevated by the Main Character Aura.
The urgency was mounting, especially with Sky Tower approaching. If the protagonist’s strength was not enough to enter the Cabinet of Sky Tower, it might mean another ten-year wait.
Qin Muye could wait, but the Spirit Tribulation could not. It had failed to unleash itself last time and was obviously more agitated this time around.
If the protagonist died again… the Spirit Tribulation would have to wait as well.
Considering the current situation, if the protagonist could enter Sky Tower just once and gain a +10 power boost, it would reduce the overall magnitude of the Spirit Tribulation by 10%.
He certainly did not see it as a reduction tactic but rather as using the protagonist as a stepping stone. The reduced quantity of the Spirit Tribulation did not vanish into thin air but was transferred to the protagonist instead.
And Qin Muye was also keen to monitor this transfer process through the action he was taking now.
If he could obtain the corresponding data successfully, then he might combine a multitude of Main Character Auras and lucky Divine Positions to form something akin to a Magical Treasure or Divine Skills.
As for what it would be specifically, Qin Muye had no concrete plans yet; he just needed the data.
Regarding the multitude of Main Character Auras, of course, they were from those main characters he had tricked to death with temporary Skills over the last ten years.
It was during the early days when accumulating opportunities he had scrapped three, and afterward, he had extracted all Main Character Auras from every protagonist.
Now he naturally had quite a few original samples of Main Character Auras in his hands.
Unfortunately, they weren’t performing well in practical application, so Qin Muye had to set them aside for the time being.
And due to the lack of corresponding technology, these Main Character Auras had become one-time consumables, so the technique of converting Spirit Tribulation into Main Character Aura enhancements was crucial for Qin Muye.
Once successful, Qin Muye could completely create his own Main Character Aura, and it was even possible to form an even more powerful Main Character Aura.
Qin Muye had also tried to directly bring a certain generation’s protagonist to Sky Tower or Heroic Spirit Land for experimentation, but it just couldn’t take shape.
The reason was simple, the systems didn’t match.
Spirit Tribulation Mud was able to strengthen the protagonist by using the inheritance system of Sky Tower as a springboard, meaning Sky Tower had to activate its inheritance in the present world, and the protagonist had to be involved in it.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t meet the requirements, and even forcibly starting it wouldn’t work because the Sky Tower in Heroic Spirit Land had not activated the inheritance system, but instead had initiated a maintenance system, which was why it could resist the erosion of Spirit Tribulation, indicating that the two systems couldn’t be activated at the same time.
If one were to forcefully switch Sky Tower from the maintenance system to the inheritance system in Heroic Spirit Land, there’d only be one outcome: Sky Tower would be completely eroded by the Spirit Tribulation Mud there.
Otherwise, why would Qin Muye honestly wait for a decade? It was because this data was too precious and had a certain irreplaceability, which is why he proceeded slowly, or else he would have wreaked havoc long ago.
“Everything is going very smoothly, it’s just that this generation’s protagonist is really not up to par, probably because his living conditions are much better than those of protagonists in the past.”
Qin Muye was really not satisfied with Wu Yong’s performance. Being duped was one thing, but his growth was also dragging behind.
The progress was unsatisfactory, lacking the combat experience of the Spirit Summoners from ten years ago.
Perhaps because the public security had improved?
Not to mention, under the Umbrella Company’s command, the past chaos was no longer present, and with strict policies in place, most crimes originated from Savior Association rather than ordinary people.
Umbrella Company provided enough living conditions, so naturally, there were fewer people taking risks out of desperation.
As this generation’s protagonist, although Wu Yong’s family was poor, he had a job as a factory gatekeeper. His pay might be low, but he had full benefits, otherwise, how could he support an entire family and even afford a house at a young age if not for the good welfare?
“Thinking about it, this isn’t really a problem of growth progress, but being too accustomed to stability and unable to adapt to sudden changes.”
Whether it was Xiao Fan or Wang Ao, the protagonists of the first and second generations dared to venture out alone for training, even fighting with tigers and leopards, and engaging in life-and-death struggles with Spirit Summoners. These were all extremely valuable combat experiences.
Wu Yong, however, was different. He had no such experiences. He had previously carried out a few missions for the Savior Association, but all were aimed at ordinary people. Bullying the weak was easy; Qin Muye could do it too.
So, in reality, this generation’s protagonist was far behind the first and second in terms of experiences.
As for protagonists of other generations, it’s rather tragic to say, but those who lived the longest after the Main Character Aura wore off lasted only a month, and most of that time they were in a coma, lacking any self-awareness.
In fact, the only protagonists who truly developed were from the first, second, and this third generation.
With the Main Character Aura radar plus Qin Muye’s temporary Skill activation, it was easy to find the protagonist’s location and identity, so there was no worry about the protagonist disappearing.
There was no need to worry that the things Qin Muye did were too excessive and might lead to trouble because he was a supporting character, and a positive one at that. Lord Era had given him an identity that strictly limited his allegiance, so no matter how disgraceful his actions, they would be ruled in favor of the protagonist’s side.
A small Main Character Aura and a brain-dead world were no match for Lord Era’s arranged identity and temporary skills.
This created Qin Muye’s sense of confidence; he had, of course, experimented before, which led him to accumulate various experiences.
Ten years was enough for Qin Muye to test all sorts of things with temporary skills; otherwise, just relying on the skill descriptions without trying to explore further would be a tremendous waste, wouldn’t it?
“I’ve found a Healing location, and it’s a female Imperial Physician… average-looking,” Qin Muye quickly received the latest information from Wu Yong, his face expressing bemusement.
He hadn’t expected this to trigger romantic luck; why hadn’t other protagonists triggered it?
He remembered now; other protagonists simply didn’t live long enough to reach that point.
“This female Imperial Physician comes from a high-ranking family, apparently connected to the upper echelons of Umbrella Company. It looks like this kid’s chance to enter Sky Tower lies with her,” Qin Muye noted.
“The Hand, send a message: turn a blind eye to this matter for now. Once the protagonist enters Sky Tower, detain the entire family of the female Imperial Physician.”
