Chapter 472: A Unique Supporting Role in the Summoning Plane
Chapter 472: A Unique Supporting Role in the Summoning Plane
【You have used a Random Instance Scroll. This instance is the 1341st Summoning Plane.】
【Your role is being randomly assigned. The probabilities are: Main Character (99%), Supporting Character (0.5%), and Extra (0.5%).】
【You have obtained the Supporting Character role.】
【Main Quest Released】
【Survive the Cataclysm. Reward: Lord Skill - Defense Enhancement】
【Defense Enhancement: Increases the defense of all troops and heroes under your command by 10% of their rank.】
【Your final reward will be evaluated based on your actions before the cataclysm arrives.】
【You have obtained Temporary Skills: Positive Supporting Role, Destiny Sidekick, and Vortex Center.】
【Positive Supporting Role: When you and the main character, the Chosen One, or the Son of Destiny interact, you will accumulate the same opportunities they receive. This ensures your power gap with them does not become too large.】
【Destiny Sidekick: When you and the main character, the Chosen One, or the Son of Destiny form a necessary bond, they will always help you when you are in danger or face unsolvable problems.】
【Vortex Center: When you and the main character, the Chosen One, or the Son of Destiny separate for a while and meet again, an event centered around you will definitely occur, which could be positive or negative.】
"Is this what you call a supporting role? The main character doesn't even have such a god-like aura." Qin MuYe was completely shocked. The three temporary skills were simply ridiculous.
"No wonder the probability is so low. As long as you maintain a good relationship with the main Character, you don't have to worry about safety. They even give you opportunities to keep up with the Main Character, and when you are in danger, the Main Character will step in to protect you. When you meet again, they will trigger a plot event. This is too absurd."
"Oh, it seems that in normal circumstances, the Main Character and Supporting Characters indeed have this kind of relationship. No matter how fast the Main Character levels up or what kind of heaven-defying Materials or cultivation techniques they use, the Supporting Characters around them can always keep up, and when the Supporting Characters have issues, the Main Character will just happen to be there to help solve them."
"These three temporary skills fit perfectly."
"Moreover, this main quest is so simple, just follow the Main Character honestly, and there won't be any problems."
"Then what about the Extra? Are their temporary skills even more overpowered?"
Qin MuYe felt that his previous instances were a huge loss, and the Supporting Character role was simply unbeatable.
He then absorbed the details of his new identity and the world.
This world is the Summoning Plane, a society similar to an ancient feudal system. The people here can summon ancient heroes through a summoning ritual to fight for them.
However, only one in ten thousand can become a Summoner. Fortunately, Qin MuYe's new identity has the qualifications to become a Summoner.
His predecessor was called Wang Mu, a commoner apprentice Summoner, a student at the Summoning Academy who has not yet undergone the summoning ritual to awaken his own hero.
His identity was that of an orphan, both parents deceased. Because he had the qualifications of a Summoner, he was taken in and raised by the court from a young age, and he was very loyal to the court.
In addition, he had nothing, but the benefit was a peaceful life. No one came to humiliate him or provoke him, and no one deliberately held him back.
Although his living conditions were not as good as those of the nobility, they were on par with ordinary people, at least he didn't have to worry about food and shelter.
Orphans like him had a bright future. Because of his clear background and being raised by the court from a young age, he would directly enter the court to serve as an official upon graduating from the Summoning Academy.
This was the natural harvest of the court raising them.
Of course, after becoming a Summoner, he would receive more benefits, depending on the rank of the hero he summons.
From the memories of his predecessor, heroes were divided into seven ranks: Non-Rank, Soldier, General, Commander, King, Emperor, and Overlord. These seven ranks represented the potential of the heroes, the higher the potential, the greater the growth ceiling.
Non-Rank heroes had no intelligence and were known as "waste." They had virtually no growth potential and might not even help the Summoner reach the first rank. They were highly unlikely to become a ranked Summoner.
Summoners also had ranks, but they were arranged from one to nine, with the highest being the ninth rank and the lowest the first rank.
Each rank of a hero can represent the upper limit of a summoner's potential. For instance, an Emperor-ranked hero, as long as they do not fall, ensures that the summoner will definitely be a Ninth-Rank Summoner.
An Imperial hero can reach up to Eighth Rank, while reaching Ninth Rank requires specific environments and experiences.
A King-ranked hero can reach up to Seventh Rank, a Commander to Fifth Rank, a General to Third Rank, and a Soldier to First Rank. Heroes below the Soldier rank might not even reach a rank at all.
Of course, things are not always so absolute. The upper limit is more like a bottleneck. The rank of a hero represents their potential. Once the potential is exhausted, they can no longer progress smoothly and must rely on their own efforts to break through, which is the essence of the bottleneck.
"I am not the main character, so the likelihood of awakening a Soldier or a non-ranked hero is low. As a positive supporting character, I am most likely to awaken a General or Commander."
As for Emperor, Imperial, and King ranks, those are impossible. Generally, these ranks are reserved for the main character or antagonist-type supporting characters. A positive supporting character like me is more likely to be average, used to enhance the main character's image, and cannot start with a powerful hero.
The area where Qin MuYe is located is essentially the starting map for the main character's journey, so there are no powerful figures around. Otherwise, if the main character were to appear in a map filled with powerful figures from the beginning, how could they develop?
"Wait, what if there were two main characters?" Qin MuYe suddenly remembered something. He still had a Son of Destiny in his resource warehouse. If he brought him out, would it cause problems? Although Ji Shan is currently an egg, he still possesses his abilities.
"Let's worry about that later. First, I need to bring in the Endless Abyss. I'm still not used to not having the Star Array."
Qin MuYe's perception subtly scanned the entire instance world. The highest strength he detected was Seventh Rank, which means there must be an Eighth Rank existence. Therefore, he cannot be reckless and should either develop for a while or use the main character to defeat the Eighth Rank.
Using a tactic of "borrowing a knife to kill" is much more efficient than doing it himself.
He prefers to avoid direct confrontation whenever possible and maximize benefits without resorting to violence.
Constant fighting and killing have no future. Maximizing benefits does not mean just killing people; killing is usually the last step for Qin MuYe, after all the benefits have been extracted.
After all, people themselves are a resource, like skeleton laborers.
Qin MuYe found a secluded spot and directly summoned the Endless Abyss.
With his previous experience, the Endless Abyss naturally invaded covertly without alarming anyone.
After adjusting, it rooted itself in this world.
"Fast internet is great, but now there's a small problem."
"Will my absorption of this world cause harm to the Cataclysm, affecting the main quest?"
Without the Endless Abyss, Qin MuYe's consumption wouldn't be significant, but with it, he can be much more aggressive.
"If all else fails, I can become the Cataclysm myself. After all, the only requirement is for me to survive, not the specific form of the Cataclysm."
"Seize the opportunity and replace him!"
For these events and main quests, Qin MuYe has a fail-safe theory: if the world is destroyed, the quest is completed.
So, if he ends up destroying the Cataclysm, Qin MuYe can take on the role himself, as it won't be the first time he has destroyed a world.
"The summoning ritual is happening tomorrow. Should I go and join in the fun and follow the plot?"
He is certain that the main character will definitely be at the summoning ritual, but whether he will be the center of attention or the target of ridicule is unknown.
"I can join in the fun and see what type of hero I can awaken. There might be some unexpected benefits."
Qin MuYe thought about it and decided to go. It's likely that he won't have a significant role yet, as it's just the beginning.
Moreover, he is very curious about the heroes, especially their origins and how they are born. He wants to uncover the mysteries of this new system, which has unique aspects that can be learned from and integrated to improve himself. This is one of the main reasons for entering the instance, not just for the quest rewards.
