Chapter 12

Although the golden finger is quite good, being restricted by its level is still somewhat frustrating.

Fortunately, for him right now, a bronze-level golden finger is enough.

In these past few days, his strength has increased significantly.

"Once I pick up a bit more magic talent, I can blend into the magic academy. That will be the time for me to truly spread my wings."

This protagonist thinks to himself, feeling quite pleased.

His golden finger can be described as the "lie-down-and-win" type.

He doesn't need to do much himself; as long as he can make contact with sufficiently powerful beings and keep picking up attributes, he can continuously grow stronger.

Although the golden finger has limitations due to its low level,

once his strength improves, hunting down villains to upgrade the golden finger won't be a difficult task.

Moreover, compared to other protagonists, he believes the possibility of him being exposed is much lower.

He just wanders around every day; with so many people in this city, who would notice him?

His early-warning range is twice that of the villains; as long as he avoids them, he can develop safely.

"Huh, the bubble on that person is huge."

At this moment, the protagonist notices that the bubble on someone is quite large.

This person's strength should be quite good.

Right now, this person is walking toward the other end of the street.

After discovering this, the protagonist quickly chases after them.

He wants to pop the bubble on that person.

As long as he pops it, today's harvest will surely be good.

He quickly gives chase.

That person soon walks into a small street.

The protagonist follows him in.

However, just as he enters, a wooden club suddenly descends from the sky.

Although the protagonist's strength has already broken through the first rank, the person ambushing him is clearly stronger; before he can even react, he is knocked unconscious by the club.

"The higher-ups said, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one slip through. Take this one back first; if he happens to be the person the higher-ups are looking for, we'll be rich."

"Hmm, feed him some bone-softening powder, then tie him up and send him back."

The sound of conversation rings out.

And so, this protagonist, who just a moment ago was happily fantasizing about the future, is tied up and stuffed into a sack.

Then, he is transported away by a carriage, prepared to be taken to a location outside the city, where a flying ship will come to pick him up.

"Master, these are the suspicious individuals from this batch."

Early the next morning, a flying ship sails into Su Mo's castle.

Several people have been captured and brought back.

In order to catch more protagonists, Su Mo issued the order that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one slip through.

Of course, if they are not protagonists, Su Mo usually injects them with some false memories before releasing them to avoid causing too much of a stir.

During the day, the flying ship brought a batch, but none of them were protagonists.

Now it is the second batch, coming from a different direction.

These few people are all stuffed in sacks, their hands and feet bound, unable to move.

After being let out, they are all still in a coma.

Su Mo's gaze sweeps over these people.

Soon, his gaze stops on one person.

This time, the harvest is good; although a few people were caught by mistake, one of them is indeed a protagonist.

"Nan Xi, keep this one, release all the others."

Su Mo says.

"Yes, Master."

Nan Xi waves her hand, and several subordinates enter to take the others away.

After these people leave, Su Mo activates the magic array.

Then, red light emerges in his eyes.

"Picking up attributes?"

Ten-plus minutes later, Su Mo reveals a smile.

The harvest this time is good.

This protagonist's golden finger is also a system.

A bronze-level attribute-picking system.

To him, the function of this system is actually more useful than the bronze-level pay-to-win system.

The people this protagonist can currently come into contact with are too weak; what kind of attributes could he possibly pick up?

But Su Mo is different.

He still has the identity of a Demon God.

Su Mo can make contact with other Demon Gods in the Abyss.

In the Abyss, there are quite a few Demon Gods.

This system might even be helpful to the strength of Su Mo's Demon God side.

"First, strip this system, then go talk to other Demon Gods."

Su Mo thinks.

Having had the experience once, stripping the system the second time is much simpler for Su Mo.

His Succubus bloodline emerges bit by bit, and his power increases continuously.

When it reaches a critical point, Su Mo detects the location of the system.

Then, Su Mo strikes fiercely, killing the protagonist.

Once the kill is made, Su Mo quickly strikes again, snatching the system and placing it on his villain panel.

After doing all this, Su Mo does not stop.

He strikes again, snatching quite a bit more of the protagonist's luck.

After snatching it, Su Mo looks at the panel.

The luck value has increased again, changing from -50 to -25.

If he takes care of one more protagonist, his luck value should be positive.

One must be careful with things like luck; there is no effect in the short term, but over a long time, you might find that the entire world is against you.

Of course, this time span needs to be very long.

Moreover, after a villain reaches the silver level, they can also reverse their luck through villain points.

It's just that villain points are limited; why waste them when you can snatch luck directly?

"Attribute-picking system, protagonist golden finger, bronze level, consumes 100 villain points to obtain authorization."

On the villain panel, Su Mo has already seen the information for the attribute-picking system.

It still costs 100 villain points to obtain authorization.

Su Mo does not hesitate and directly consumes 100 villain points.

Thus, he obtains authorization for this system.

After obtaining it, Su Mo looks at the beginner's guide.

The beginner's guide is very simple, explaining some limitations, such as the fact that the current bronze-level system has a large limit on the number of attributes that can be picked up daily.

One can only pick up attributes twelve times a day; exceeding this number, the harvest will continuously halve.

The thirteenth time it halves, and the fourteenth time, it halves again based on the thirteenth, and so on; the subsequent harvest becomes negligible. ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
