Chapter 50

The reason this guy was calmer was that his Golden Finger rank was higher!

His words immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

"Bai Yin-rank? Is there a mistake? I saw on the forum that a protagonist killed a fallen Count villain who was only Black Iron-rank!"

"That was a fallen Count; normal Counts should without exception be Bronze-rank!"

"Damn it, this is too magical! It's like a passerby suddenly becoming the big BOSS!"

"Hiss! A Bai Yin-rank Count. Although there are still a few Bai Yin-ranks in the Royal Capital, I suddenly feel that this Count of Moshi Territory.... is probably the biggest BOSS in the New Moon Kingdom!"

045 A More Terrifying Guess! The Blessing Ceremony Begins!

In the square, because they had checked Su Mo's villain rank, these protagonists were no longer calm.

Protagonists in the early stage indeed have more privileges.

For example, in the early stage, villains don't have Villain Points.

But protagonists all have 1 Protagonist Point.

This 1 Protagonist Point can be used to check the rank of a nearby villain.

Every protagonist has one chance, so under normal circumstances, they wouldn't use it recklessly.

Bai Yin-rank protagonists have 1 extra Protagonist Point, meaning they have two chances.

If there is a Gold-rank protagonist, they have 3 Protagonist Points from the start, giving them one more chance.

Of course, if any protagonist kills a villain at the start and gets 100 Protagonist Points, then it doesn't matter.

The protagonist group became completely lively.

"Hearing you all say this, I'm not coming to the Royal Capital. The New Moon Kingdom is so big, I can just hole up anywhere and develop."

"That's right, that's right, I'm not coming either~"

Some protagonists who had joined the group but hadn't reached the Royal Capital yet were feeling incredibly fortunate.

They turned back and headed home directly.

"I still can't understand how a Count could be a Bai Yin-rank villain. A Bai Yin-rank villain, man, they're basically all Duke-level, even Hou Jue-level ones are rare."

"This world has a strict hierarchy. No matter how rich a Count is, in terms of hard power, it's impossible to exceed a Duke, and even exceeding a Hou Jue is rare, otherwise it would be overstepping, and the King and other nobles wouldn't sit idly by."

"He must have some hidden strength."

"I said long ago that the Count of Moshi Territory had issues; the time he invented those things was too early."

"......"

Several protagonists discussed this matter, and other protagonists soon joined in.

"Do you think his Bai Yin-rank could be from killing protagonists to level up?"

At this moment, one protagonist suddenly said this.

Once this sentence was out, the protagonist group went quiet for a moment.

"Impossible!"

Then, a protagonist replied with three words.

"To go from Bronze-rank to Bai Yin-rank, you'd have to kill five protagonists. It's only been ten days since we transmigrated, and the protagonists are relatively scattered; how could he kill five protagonists in such a short time?"

"Right, and if a villain wants a Golden Finger, they still have to consume Villain Points to obtain our Golden Fingers, making the upgrade progress even slower."

Other protagonists also quickly replied.

They all denied this possibility.

Because...

When that protagonist just said that, these protagonists' hearts subconsciously tightened.

Their eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

This guess...

It was simply too terrifying!

Even more terrifying than the Count of Moshi Territory, as a Count, having Bai Yin-rank strength from the start.

A villain's starting rank depends on the strength brought by their identity after transmigration.

There aren't many, nor too few, villains who possess Bai Yin-rank strength in the judgment at the start.

Aren't the few Duke-level villains in the Royal Capital like that?

But over these ten-plus days, these few Duke-level villains only managed to take care of a few careless protagonists at the very beginning.

Averaged out, they couldn't even get one each.

There are also quite a few villains who, over these ten-plus days, have probably killed one or two protagonists.

Any more than that, we haven't heard of.

Therefore, as long as you are careful, Bai Yin-rank villains actually aren't terrifying.

But what if the Count of Moshi Territory started as a Bronze-rank villain and killed his way up to a Bai Yin-rank villain?

And, in just a few short days, killed four or five protagonists to reach Bai Yin-rank villain!

How terrifying would that be?

Some protagonists subconsciously felt it was impossible.

Because of this, even Bai Yin-rank villains would find it hard to do.

The time was too short.

Not to mention, in the last few days, the Count of Moshi Territory has been in the Royal Capital.

Other than taking care of that provocative protagonist at the start, he hasn't made any other moves.

Under such circumstances, if this guess were to come true...

Wouldn't that mean the Count of Moshi Territory killed the other few protagonists in the first three or four days?

Then how powerful must the Count of Moshi Territory be?

The problem is, why was the powerful Count of Moshi Territory judged as a Bronze-rank protagonist at the start?

This is where the contradiction lies.

"This contradiction can't be resolved. The Count of Moshi Territory can't be one who levels up by killing protagonists. Looking at it this way, he must have hidden strength."

A protagonist said after analyzing these contradictions.

"Whatever, anyway, today, no matter what, I'm going to take advantage of the chaos to escape the Royal Capital."

Some protagonists no longer had the heart to discuss.

He wasn't afraid of other Bai Yin-rank villains.

But now, the Count of Moshi Territory inexplicably made him panic.

This protagonist was uneasy inside; he vaguely felt... that terrifying guess... might actually be true!

The Count of Moshi Territory might really be relying on killing protagonists to level up.

He didn't even have the interest to discuss anymore.

Not just him.

In the square, some other protagonists also lost the interest to discuss and closed their protagonist panels one after another.

They were equally uneasy.

Originally, they were most on guard against those few Duke-level villains.

But now.

The Count of Moshi Territory had become the biggest threat in their hearts.

They began to realize...

This Count of Moshi Territory, who hadn't made any moves since he arrived at the Royal Capital and took care of one protagonist,

was probably also brewing a wave of attacks they couldn't imagine!

Otherwise, why would the Count of Moshi Territory deliberately hint at them?

These protagonists weren't stupid; once they figured out these key points, their expressions became increasingly somber.

Forming an extremely sharp contrast with the citizens around them who were cheering the name "Count of Moshi Territory."

"If we want to control the New Moon Kingdom in the future, this Count of Moshi Territory must be removed."
