Chapter 483: Controlling the Plot Direction

It seems Xiao Fan can’t sit still and is preparing to go out for some training. I’ll check what activities are happening recently.

As the protagonist, Xiao Fan often encounters special events that occur every ten years, every hundred years, or even every thousand years.

For example, the Ten Thousand Heaven Pavilion opens every ten years, and this year’s opening is in mid-year, about three months from now.

If he wants to reach a certain level of strength within three months, it’s absolutely impossible to just stay in the academy and practice. Instead, he needs to go out and push himself to the brink of life and death to achieve a breakthrough.

Don’t ask how I know; it’s because he has already packed his bags and set out for training.

I took out the map, calibrated his position, and estimated his route.

Qin Mu Ye’s plan is simple: first, intercept his opportunities, and then send them back to him through his own hands.

This way, the protagonist’s opportunities remain the same, but the method of obtaining them changes. It’s as if the opportunities that he would have obtained on his own are now given to him by Qin Mu Ye, thereby triggering the positive supporting role’s temporary skill and accumulating his opportunity points.

However, it’s been nearly three days, and the four opportunity points I have haven’t materialized yet. Qin Mu Ye remembered this; he was very anxious about it before, but now it hasn’t arrived yet.

He doesn’t think he’s been cheated; it’s more likely that the cause and effect are still entangled.

Xiao Fan is heading north, seemingly towards the Rongzhi Forest. This place is known for its medicinal herbs, but there’s nothing particularly special about it. Qin Mu Ye wondered if this was a good idea.

Qin Mu Ye knows that Xiao Fan’s spirit is extraordinary and has gathered various pieces of information about Xiao Fan through his spirit spies. Although this spirit is relatively unknown, its abilities are quite outstanding.

From this, he deduced that influence and reputation can affect a person’s potential to become a spirit after death, but they do not equate to true talent.

Even with the potential of an emperor, it’s possible to have a spirit that is a complete dud. This is not just empty talk.

Is he planning to gather herbs and make his own medicinal pills and dishes? That’s not an easy task, but with his protagonist aura, it’s indeed easier. Qin Mu Ye easily guessed Xiao Fan’s intentions.

Although the state capital is prosperous, this Southern Liang Prefecture is ultimately a small place. Some of the high-end or rare herbs that Xiao Fan needs may not be available in the pharmacies, and even if they are, they might be too expensive or impossible to buy, even with money. Therefore, he has to rely on his own efforts to grow quickly.

With the spirit of Dan Qing Tian by his side, survival in the wild, gathering herbs, and other tasks are not a problem. He can even hone his combat skills and better cultivate the Wuling Fashen.

Following the map, Qin Mu Ye continued to analyze and soon discovered something: "Well, he’s planning to level up by fighting monsters first, then take a detour to come here and clear the dungeon, right?"

The Rongzhi Forest and Qin Mu Ye’s location are not adjacent, but if he takes a boat and then walks a bit, he can arrive at Qing Song Village, and from there, return to the state capital.

If he completes this half-circle, his level will definitely reach the Second Rank, and with the monsters he fights along the way, clearing the underground ruins won’t be a big deal.

However, there’s a problem: Qin Mu Ye has the temporary skill of being the vortex center. Meeting the protagonist will cause the plot to unfold.

Qin Mu Ye can imagine many plot developments, but he thinks the most likely scenario is that Xiao Fan will offend someone in the Rongzhi Forest, then counter-kill them, be pursued, and eventually seek refuge with Qin Mu Ye. They will then discover the underground ruins, and the pursuers will arrive, leading to a counter-kill using the resources in the ruins.

This might even involve the entire Qing Song Village as a cost. In the end, the protagonist will take all the benefits and return to the state capital, being pursued and counter-killing along the way.

Completing this entire process, Qin Mu Ye estimates, could push the protagonist to the Third Rank, or else how could he justify the experience points gained from all the counter-kills?

"Check it out. See what’s happening in the Rongzhi Forest, if there are any noble families or other people there, and take all the herbs in advance. I’ll send you the list." Qin Mu Ye directly instructed the spirits to conduct the investigation.

How could the plot go according to the preset? Otherwise, what would Qin Mu Ye gain?

The intelligence department’s response was quick, providing a detailed report on the Rongzhi Forest, including all the activities and people in the surrounding areas.

As for the medicinal herbs, the spirit spies have already entered the scene. Each of them is equipped with the Luck Spell, ensuring that not a single herb on Qin Mu Ye’s list will be left behind. "There’s actually Huang Shitian, the eldest son of the largest family in Southern Liang Prefecture, oh, a lickspittle, accompanying the female head of the Xuanyan Sect here for a spring outing.”

“Is this what you call a spring outing?”

Qin Mu Ye, looking at the vast expanse of the Southern Liang Prefecture, was momentarily stunned. After all, Rongzhi Forest is not the only forest in Southern Liang Prefecture, and there are clearly better and closer ones. Yet, they chose this place, not to give the protagonist a slap in the face, Qin Mu Ye could swallow this map whole.

“However, it’s interesting that the Xuanyan Sect would come here. They should only be a decoy, though.”

The Xuanyan Sect is not a local sect in Southern Liang Prefecture, but its strength cannot be underestimated. Even the largest family in this small place cannot match its strength. Eliminating the entire Southern Liang Prefecture would be quite easy, but more importantly, according to the intelligence from the spirit spies, the Qinglong Association is the Xuanyan Sect’s covert stake in Southern Liang Prefecture.

This covert stake has delivered a lot of benefits to the Xuanyan Sect, but in recent years, it seems to have grown stronger, possibly preparing to break away from the Xuanyan Sect. Qin Mu Ye speculated that they are here to give the Qinglong Association a lesson and make them more obedient.

Of course, the Xuanyan Sect is not the top tier; the intelligence says that the Xuanyan Sect is just a pawn used by the court to stabilize the families and sects, with the support of the court, it can attain its current position.

This support is quite obscure, but from the current situation, no other forces have discovered this, indicating that the manipulator is not an ordinary person.

“Following the normal development, no wonder the protagonist would be pursued. The Wuling Fashen on his body is itself the Qinglong Association’s secret method to break away from the Xuanyan Sect. This secret method might not be what the Qinglong Association wants, and it might not even be what the Xuanyan Sect wants.”

This thing is indeed a hot potato, the deceased is from the Qian family, a family that was wiped out. The intelligence also mentions this, but how it came to be is unknown. The spirit spies are not all-powerful, at most they know that the Qian family, wanting to find something, is looking for an excuse, because a small matter sparked the conflict and contradictions.

Now it appears to be intentional, for the sake of this Wuling Fashen.

As for the survivors, how they brought the secret method to Qin Mu Ye, it is definitely because of the temporary skill.

Now this has circled back to the protagonist, and they can’t help but to fight.

“First, without the corresponding herbs, it’s definitely impossible to successfully take the pills and level up, so... might they be killed?”

Qin Mu Ye began planning in his mind, aiming to let him accumulate opportunities without causing problems for the protagonist.

“No, this problem is too difficult to solve. Might as well eliminate the people who cause the problem.”

After three seconds of thought, Qin Mu Ye found that no matter which method, the cost was very high. Eliminating the people who cause the problem is the lowest cost and the highest completion rate.

“Eliminate Huang Shitian, the eldest son of the Qian family, the female head of the Xuanyan Sect, and all the accompanying personnel and witnesses.” Qin Mu Ye decisively ordered.

Since they are blocking his path, they definitely won’t leave, and if they do, there might be unexpected developments. So, he directly ordered their execution to prevent affecting Qin Mu Ye’s observation of the protagonist’s aura data.

His idea is simple, thinking whether this observation can artificially create the protagonist’s aura talent.

This is not just his wild imagination, but because he has the raw materials. Before a certain unlucky ritual god, there was actually a lucky divine office, which was stripped by Qin Mu Ye and retained as a sample without the Divine Nation server crashing and disappearing.

Therefore, theoretically, with sufficient data, Qin Mu Ye can actually replicate the protagonist’s aura data. This is a good ability, hard to come by as a protagonist once, and it is essential to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if he wants to be a supporting character or an extra in the future, it won’t be so easy.

After all, a supporting character and an extra are the real welfare identities, while the protagonist is just a big pit.
