NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: Grab luck! Alternative uses for rings!
“Puff!”
In the hall, Li Mang kneeled in front of Su Mo, pleading for mercy. “Brother, please don’t kill me! Let me be your little brother. I promise to be obedient…” Li Mang’s earlier confidence had disappeared, and he was now completely subservient.
Su Mo stretched out his hand, and the ring on Li Mang’s hand fell off his finger and flew into Su Mo’s hand. “This Bronze ring is the protagonist’s gold finger, and it costs 50 villain points at the bronze level. You can get this ring of authority,” the general information about the ring appeared on Su Mo’s panel. However, there needed to be further detailed information.
Su Mo looked at Li Mang closely, who grew increasingly bewildered as he begged for his life.
Eventually, Su Mo extracted the information he wanted from him. The ring was fascinating indeed. There was another ring inside it, known as Grandpa’s ring.
If the protagonist who possessed the ring was dissatisfied with it, they could use a certain amount of protagonist value to replace it.
These Grandpa rings were not just random items. They had belonged to powerful figures in God’s continent who understood it uniquely. Once they appeared in the ring, they would believe that the protagonist had saved or raised them, granting the protagonist various opportunities.
Additionally, the ring could be upgraded from a bronze level to a silver level.
After upgrading, Su Mo could use the protagonist’s points to summon a second, more powerful Grandpa Ring, which belonged to Li Mang’s Grandpa Ring and was considered legendary.
However, Su Mo could only summon or upgrade it once he obtained the necessary authority.If Su Mo wished to seize the protagonist’s golden finger, he would need to spend some villain points.
The higher the level of cheats, the more difficult it is to obtain them. Once Su Mo fully understood these situations and gained more details about the differences between the protagonist and the villain from Li Mang, a subtle movement of Su Mo’s hand caused a green flame to ignite on Li Mang’s body.
These flames were so terrifying that they reduced Li Mang to ashes. Su Mo gazed at the spot where Li Mang disappeared and suddenly noticed something.
In the next second, Su Mo appeared at the exact location where Li Mang vanished and clutched the empty space with both hands.
“Got you,” Su Mo muttered with a smile.
Although nothing was in his hands, Su Mo still snatched some of Li Mang’s luck. The villain might gain value by killing the protagonist but could never achieve the same level of luck as the protagonist.
What Su Mo had just seized belonged to Li Mang’s luck, and even though he didn’t acquire all of it, he had still managed to take some.
“You have successfully completed the first villain kill and gained double value,” a prompt appeared on the panel.
Su Mo noticed that the villain’s panel had undergone significant changes.
“Contestant: Su Mo
Villain Nickname: Phantom
Faction: Villains
Status: Earl of Blackstone in the Crescent Kingdom
Level: Bronze Level
Villain value: 200/200
Luck value: -82
Warning distance: 50 kilometres
Ranking: None”
The villain value changed from 0 to 200.
It seemed that killing a bronze-level villain had a value of 100.
However, since Su Mo had completed the villain’s first kill, it doubled to 200.
The luck value also changed from -100 to -82.
Su Mo should have snatched the change in luck value from Li Mang.
……
“Damn it, the first kill was stolen!” A chorus of depressed voices echoed across the God’s Continent as some villains grumbled about missing out on the opportunity.
Whether it was the protagonist or the villain, obtaining the first kill was a crucial milestone that could significantly impact the course of the game. Some villains who had the protagonist in their vicinity had launched their forces to find and eliminate the protagonist, and one of them had come close to succeeding.
It seemed the protagonist got their first kill by eliminating a villain named “Phantom.” This news made the other villains disheartened.
“So, the protagonist has already killed someone?”
“Damn it. I need to be more cautious and plan my moves carefully.”
“This villain named ‘Phantom’ is powerful. I hope he isn’t in my vicinity.”
“…..”
Meanwhile, on the protagonist’s side, they also obtained their first kill as they managed to eliminate a villain. The news had caused quite a stir in the protagonist’s communication area, with many protagonists feeling a sense of unease and crisis.
……
“Master, what about the legendary souls?” Xi Wei asked, drawing Su Mo’s attention to the suppressed legendary soul in the hall.
Su Mo played with the bronze ring and pondered for a moment before responding.”Tell me all the opportunities you know,” he said, addressing the legendary soul.
The soul spoke in a dull, lifeless voice, and although it was legendary, it paled in comparison to Su Mo’s strength. However, with the help of the protagonist’s gold finger, he could have enhanced his power and gained an advantage in the game. It all depended on how he used it.
……
As the owner of the succubus bloodline and possessing a powerful bloodline skill known as the Eye of the Phantom, Su Mo had immense mental power. He was able to easily control the legendary soul and make it reveal all the opportunities it had planned for the protagonist, thanks to the power of the Phantom bloodline and the assistance of Grandpa Ring.
After the legendary soul finished speaking, Su Mo killed it with a thought and then instructed Xi Wei to send someone to search for the opportunities mentioned by the soul.
Su Mo had two types of power within him- the power of the Demon God brought by the blood of the Phantom and the hidden power of the Phantom’s blood. The latter was not yet strong enough, only at the level of magic, but it had the potential for improvement.
Su Mo decided to use Grandpa Ring to summon the spirit out and, through the eyes of the Phantom, directly ask about the opportunities they had prepared for the protagonist. This way, he could gather more information and make better decisions for his own benefit.
