Chapter 178

A critical hit of a full 8 times!

A Bai Yin-rank protagonist originally only had 500 Villain Points and 20 Luck.

After the critical hit, it became 4000 Villain Points and 160 Luck!

Just 1000 Villain Points short, it was equivalent to killing a Gold-rank protagonist.

If one could kill a Gold-rank protagonist and trigger another critical hit, the harvest would likely be even more impressive.

If a 10x critical hit were triggered, that Gold-rank protagonist could be directly critted to 50,000 Villain Points, allowing Su Mo to upgrade his second Legendary-grade Golden Finger.

The number of Gold-rank protagonists is not high, and there don't seem to be any in the nearby kingdoms.

There is a certain possibility they exist, but the opponents are hiding very tightly.

Bronze-rank protagonists start with 100 Luck, Bai Yin-rank with 200, and Gold-rank protagonists start with 500 Luck.

High Luck means they are hard to kill!

These Gold-rank protagonists have high-level Golden Fingers and develop quickly.

In addition, their Golden Finger types are often quite special.

Su Mo was not in a hurry; it wouldn't be too late to resolve them once they jumped out.

Regarding Golden Fingers, the ones obtained this time were also quite numerous.

There were still a great many talent-type Golden Fingers.

There were also several systems of different types.

Su Mo thought for a moment and decided to incorporate and fuse all the Divine Talents.

After the fusion was completed, upgrading the Divine Talent to Gold-rank only required a little over three thousand Villain Points.

Consequently, Su Mo upgraded the Divine Talent to Gold-rank.

Thus, he had one Legendary-grade Golden Finger: the Critical Hit Talent.

And he had four Gold-rank Golden Fingers: God's Right Hand, the Pay-to-Win System, Divine Talent, and the Lord System.

Villain Points were insufficient, otherwise Su Mo was prepared to upgrade the Tycoon System to Gold-rank as well.

After settling this wave, in the Holy Moon Kingdom, after Su Mo returned to the temple, the Holy Moon Goddess projected her avatar.

"Mo, the divine power promised to you..."

The Holy Moon Goddess, who was like a gentle and beautiful big sister, handed a mass of divine power to Su Mo.

Su Mo looked over and saw that the divine power given by the Holy Moon Goddess was more than what was originally promised.

It was even more than what the Goddess Xiyue had given.

She gave two thousand drops at once!

This was super generous!

"Goddess..."

Su Mo spoke.

However, before Su Mo could finish, the Holy Moon Goddess said:

"Mo, this is what I deliberately gave you extra; perhaps it can be of help to you. Your actions in the Purple Thorn Kingdom this time have given me great inspiration. I feel I have found a way to double faith income. This is also what you deserve. Will you see if my method is feasible?"

Su Mo said: "Goddess, please speak."

The Holy Moon Goddess spoke earnestly: "Your method is very good—directly distributing land to commoners and cracking down on nobles. In this way, the enthusiasm of the commoners, who make up the vast majority of the population, will be very high, and their faith increase will be quite impressive.

Nobles, like mages, actually don't provide much faith, yet they occupy a great deal of resources..."

Su Mo listened silently.

Compared to the Goddess Xinyue and the Goddess Xiyue, the Holy Moon Goddess is indeed more skilled in governing a kingdom.

Some of the Holy Moon Goddess's concepts are also quite good.

Moreover, some of her concepts have already broken through some of the inherent concepts of this world.

For example, at the beginning, when Su Mo asked the Queen of Xinyue to distribute the land of the Horton Kingdom to the commoners, the Queen of Xinyue was very worried that it would cause dissatisfaction among the nobles in the Horton Kingdom and lead to disobedience.

The noble class in the Xinyue Kingdom also had very strong opposition.

If it weren't for the Queen of Xinyue's absolute trust in Su Mo, if it were another king,

Unless the gods of the Heavenly Realm exerted strong pressure, the other party would also hesitate.

After all, the cornerstone of the many kingdoms in the World of the Gods is the nobles, large and small.

And the new policy Su Mo asked the Queen of Xinyue to promulgate was destroying this cornerstone.

Although the noble system brings many problems when it becomes too bloated, it is currently the most reasonable system in operation.

The Holy Moon Goddess was able to see this clearly.

At the same time, she saw more—for example, that completely abolishing the noble system is also not feasible.

Once the old nobles are abolished, there will still be new nobles.

The Holy Moon Goddess's idea is to gradually differentiate the nobles, support the commoner class, and improve the lives of the commoners; this is the source of her faith.

"Mo, what do you think of my idea?"

The Holy Moon Goddess asked after she finished speaking.

Su Mo said: "The Goddess's idea is very good."

The Holy Moon Goddess said: "Now, the only thing that gives me a headache is still how to reasonably differentiate the rights of the nobles; overly radical means are certainly inappropriate."

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, there is a very simple method."

"A simple method?"

The Holy Moon Goddess looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo's method came from history books before he transmigrated—the method Emperor Wu of Han used to deal with nobles.

It is very simple, but also very effective—the Decree of Favor.

In order to keep their families strong and not be differentiated, nobles all adopted primogeniture.

In this way, the land and wealth of a Duke's family would not be divided.

The Decree of Favor directly gave the other heirs of the Duke the right to inherit as well.

Once the old Duke passed away, several sons divided the family property, and the Duke's family was directly split into several parts.

After the next generation passed away and they divided it again, a huge family was directly divided into dozens of parts.

Dividing it for another generation... it was completely differentiated.

And this is an overt conspiracy.

It would also cause internal divisions within noble families.

The Duke and the Duke's heir would not agree, but the Duke's other sons who had no right of inheritance would raise both hands in favor.

A family would consume itself from within, and the pressure would no longer be on the King.

In exchange for the Holy Moon Goddess's two thousand drops of divine power, Su Mo provided this method to her.

After hearing Su Mo's words, the Holy Moon Goddess's eyes lit up.

Su Mo offered a few more suggestions.

For example, applying magic to the development of the kingdom.

Training a large number of divine spellcasters to treat illnesses for commoners.

Training life-system mages to repel insects for crops and using magic to increase productivity.

These suggestions made the Holy Moon Goddess listen with great joy!

"Mo, thank you!"

The Holy Moon Goddess's gentle and beautiful big eyes were filled with appreciation for Su Mo.

Inside, there was also curiosity.

Although her ability to imagine things was not as powerful as the Goddess Xiyue's.

However, seeing that Su Mo actually needed divine power, and combining it with Su Mo's special nature, her speculation about Su Mo now was probably very close to the Goddess Xiyue's imagination!

"Goddess, you are welcome."

Su Mo said.

The Holy Moon Goddess said: "After this period passes, if you have time, I will come to ask for your advice again. If possible, I would like to invite you to be a guest in my Divine Kingdom then, so I can better ask for your advice on the governance of the kingdom."
