Chapter 17

Although the Gold Finger is not bad, it is restricted by level, which is still somewhat frustrating.

Fortunately, for him now, a Bronze-level Gold Finger is enough.

In these past few days, his strength has increased by a great deal.

"Once I pick up a bit more magical talent, I can sneak into the magic academy; when that time comes, it will be my moment to shine."

This protagonist thinks to himself, feeling quite pleased.

His Gold Finger can be said to be of the 'lying down to win' type.

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

Although there are restrictions due to the low level of the Gold Finger,

however, once his strength improves, hunting down villains to upgrade the Gold 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 a villain's; as long as he avoids villains, he can develop steadily.

"Huh, the bubble on that person is so big."

At this moment, this protagonist discovers that the bubble on someone's body is quite large.

This person's strength should be quite good.

At this time, this person is walking towards the other end of the street.

After discovering this, the protagonist hurriedly chases after them.

He wants to poke the bubble on their body.

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

He chases after them quickly.

That person soon walks into a small street.

This protagonist also chases inside.

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

Although this protagonist's strength has already broken through to the First Rank, the person ambushing him is clearly stronger; before he can even react, he is knocked unconscious by a single blow.

"The higher-ups said, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go; take this one back first, in case it's the person the higher-ups are looking for, we'll be rich."

"Mm, 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 just like that.

Then, he is transported away by a carriage, prepared to be taken to a certain place outside the city, to be picked up by a flying ship later.

"Master, these are the suspicious people 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 go.

Of course, if they are not protagonists, Su Mo generally also injects these people with some false memories before letting them go, to avoid causing too much of a stir.

During the day, the flying ship transported a batch, but there wasn't a single protagonist among them.

Now it is the second batch, coming from another direction.

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

After being released, they are all still in a coma.

Su Mo's gaze sweeps over these few people.

Soon, his gaze stops on one person.

This time, the harvest is not bad; although a few people were caught by mistake, there is still one protagonist.

"Dai Qian, keep this one, send all the others back."

Su Mo says.

"Yes, Master."

Dai Qian waves her hand, and several subordinates enter to take the other people away.

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

Then, red light emerges from his eyes.

"Picking up attributes?"

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

This time's harvest is not bad.

This protagonist's Gold 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 come into contact with right now are too weak; what attributes could he possibly pick up?

But Su Mo is different.

He still has the identity of a Demon God.

Su Mo can come into 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 find other Demon Gods to have a heart-to-heart."

Su Mo thinks.

016 Obtained! Going to have a heart-to-heart with a Demon God!

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

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

When it increases to a critical point, Su Mo perceives the location of the system.

Then, Su Mo strikes fiercely, killing this protagonist.

Once the killer is dealt with, Su Mo strikes quickly again, snatching the system and placing it on the Villain Panel.

After doing all this, Su Mo has not yet stopped.

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

After snatching it, Su Mo looks at the panel.

The Luck Value has increased again, changing from -50 to -25.

Once he deals with one more protagonist, his Luck Value should be able to become positive.

Luck is the kind of thing one still needs to pay attention to; it has no effect in the short term, but over a long time, you will discover that it is very likely the entire world is targeting you.

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

Moreover, after a villain rises to the Silver Rank, they can also reverse their luck through Villain Points.

It's just that Villain Points are limited; since he can directly snatch luck, why waste Villain Points?

"Attribute-Picking System, Protagonist Gold Finger, Bronze Rank, 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 consumes 100 Villain Points to obtain authorization.

Su Mo does not hesitate and directly consumes 100 Villain Points.

Thereby, he obtains the authorization for this system.

After obtaining it, Su Mo looks at the novice instructions.

The novice instructions are very simple, explaining some restrictions, such as the current Bronze-level system having a large restriction 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 be halved.

The thirteenth time is halved, the fourteenth time is halved again based on the thirteenth time; continuing to decrease like this, the subsequent harvest is negligible.
