Chapter 23

Xi Wei says.

This matter is arranged properly just like this.

Dai Qian and Xi Wei both become busy.

022 Action of Bludgeoning! Protagonist who gets stronger while lying down!

"This person is an illegitimate son of a Viscount; do we really have to make a move?"

"He's just an illegitimate son, what are you afraid of? In case it's not the person the higher-ups are looking for, we'll just quietly send him back."

"The higher-ups require increasing the intensity of the action; let's make a move directly."

"Alright, then let's take action after he is alone~"

"..."

Late at night.

In a tavern, three people are sitting at a table, looking at a person in the distance, whispering there.

These three people are also people in Su Mo's intelligence organization.

The person they are staring at is an illegitimate son of a Viscount.

This guy's behavior has been a bit abnormal recently.

You have to know, the status of an illegitimate son is very low; a noble's illegitimate son basically has no inheritance rights.

However, this illegitimate son is a bit special; that Viscount's legitimate son is sickly all day long and doesn't necessarily live for a very long time.

This illegitimate son's mind became active.

In the past, this illegitimate son was incomparably diligent, snatching to do everything, and was even better to the Viscountess than to his own biological mother.

He also won the Viscountess's favor.

It's just that, a few days ago, this illegitimate son didn't know what happened.

He suddenly became decadent.

He didn't do things, didn't manage accounts, and spent his days drinking and having fun, giving himself up to depravity.

The thing this guy loves to do most is drinking, wandering around, occasionally visiting brothels, and sleeping.

Some people say that the reason he did this is that the Viscount's legitimate son was cured by a priest of the church.

He couldn't see hope, so he became decadent.

Originally, this reason also made sense.

Until.

One night, a few little thugs found him, wanting to snatch some money from him to spend.

But this guy led the few little thugs to an empty alley, and with one kick each, he beat the few little thugs until they were dizzy and bleeding.

You have to know, before this, this illegitimate son was incomparably weak.

Suddenly, he possessed powerful strength.

What is coincidental is that among these few little thugs, one little thug happened to be an informant for these three people.

In the city, the best informants are naturally these thugs who are idle all day.

This little thug was beaten miserably and wanted to retaliate against the other party, but relying on himself alone was definitely not enough.

Therefore, he reported the situation of this illegitimate son.

And he was stared at by these three people.

"Haha, let you fight until you are bleeding; my Gold Finger is still the best, lying down and getting stronger."

In the tavern, that illegitimate son is drinking happily.

This guy is surprisingly also a protagonist.

His Gold Finger is a bit interesting; it is also a system, a system that gets stronger by lying down.

He doesn't need to do anything at all, just being idle all day, and he can obtain the system's rewards.

Of course, if he sleeps all day, the rewards obtained are limited.

Therefore, he runs out every day to drink, bask in the sun, and occasionally visit brothels.

His little life is especially comfortable.

In his view, as long as he relies on the early warning to avoid villains and doesn't let villains discover him, he can steadily grow stronger.

As for the Viscount's little family property, after becoming a protagonist and owning a system, he doesn't care about it at all.

After drinking for half a day, this illegitimate son glances at his system panel.

He discovers that this meal of wine allowed him to obtain a good reward.

This protagonist stands up happily, preparing to go to the next place.

Seeing him leave here, the three people exchange a look and quietly follow.

"His strength should be at the Second Rank, be careful."

"Let the people ambushing in front take action; our strength still can't deal with him."

"..."

The three people are whispering.

"Someone is following me?"

The three people don't know that this protagonist has already discovered them.

"Three rats, just right to try the new skill I obtained..."

After this protagonist discovers that the strength of those three is not very strong, he hums lightly and deliberately walks toward an alley.

However, he has just walked to the entrance of the alley when a wooden club smashes down with lightning speed.

This protagonist has been guarding against the three people behind him and hasn't reacted yet when he is hit directly by that wooden club.

"Damn it..."

This protagonist is hit by the wooden club, but he doesn't faint and even curses.

"Huh? Not fainted yet?"

A voice rings out, and then, the sound of wind rings out.

"Fuck!"

This protagonist collapses.

Then, his vision goes black, and he faints.

"Done!"

In the darkness, a black shadow appears, claps his hands, and then takes out a rope.

At the same time, in some other cities of the New Moon Kingdom, this night, due to Su Mo's order, a large-scale bludgeoning action begins.

Many suspected protagonists are bludgeoned.

023 Ring Upgrade! Silver-level Villain!

Above the castle, magic flying ships fly over one after another.

"Tsk tsk, the Count of Magic Stone Territory is really too rich; so many flying ships are all flying under his banner."

"Yeah, I heard a flying ship costs at least tens of thousands of gold coins."

"Tens of thousands of gold coins? My God, I only earn a few silver coins a month."

"..."

In the territory, people come and go.

Quite a few people see the magic flying ships in the sky, and one by one they are marveling at the wealth of the Count of Magic Stone Territory.

This is a common point for everyone who comes to Magic Stone Territory.

Among the noble groups of the New Moon Kingdom, there is already a consensus.

That is, only after arriving at Magic Stone Territory do they know they are country bumpkins.

The load capacity of these magic flying ships is actually average; they cannot transport too heavy things in one trip.
