Chapter 538: Talent · Favored by the Universe
Chapter 538: Talent · Favored by the Universe
"Damn~ As expected, he joined the mercenaries, and even joined a specific mercenary group with a clear purpose. This kid can't be a reincarnate, can he? His actions are too purposeful, it's like he has a guide."
Qin Muye looked at the intelligence in his hands. Besides Wang Wei, he had all the information on the Bai Hai Mercenary Group.
Although the mercenary camp is a neutral force, it wasn't difficult for Qin Muye to investigate such a small mercenary group. Do they really think the mercenary camp's confidentiality is as secure as a safe?
At most, it's like a bank, not a safe. Without sufficient skills, one can only resort to brute force.
Black Hand just mentioned it to some people in the mercenary camp and sent some 'small' gifts. The materials were even delivered without the need for the monsters to collect them.
Qin Muye knew the mercenary camp well. A month ago, he had a hand in it. Currently, there are many weapons for sale, and the sales are doing quite well. Mercenaries are always after money, so a high-quality, low-priced item is naturally very popular.
"Must say, strength brings status, and many things become much more convenient." Qin Muye had seen through this world. Initially, he didn't want to involve himself in the mercenary camp, but the mercenary camp approached him.
Later, he found out that almost every S-rank had a share, and this distribution was very clever. This is how the mercenary camp, despite having no military power, could become a major force, second only to the three great powers and spreading across various civilizations, because it belonged to everyone.
If you want to be the biggest, you have to see if others agree.
Moreover, the mercenary camp isn't just a producer of mercenaries; it's also the largest broker organization, intelligence organization, and more.
The cut Qin Muye gets every month isn't small, after all, such a large force means substantial profits.
However, these profit distributions are in tiers.
For example, Qin Muye is in the highest tier, not because he is handsome, but simply because he is strong.
This was confirmed during the initial interstellar meeting, even though Qin Muye didn't know about it, the mercenary camp knew this share couldn't be missing.
Qin Muye could refuse, but the mercenary camp couldn't.
After all, the mercenary camp needs to maintain the loyalty of such a high-ranking S-rank, to prevent any dissatisfaction or unnecessary trouble.
When Qin Muye first learned about this, he naturally accepted it with a clear conscience. Everyone accepted it, and not accepting would offend everyone.
If Qin Muye could suppress it naturally, it would be fine, but if he couldn't, he had to go with the flow.
This is how the mercenary camp gradually grew stronger, with a truly solid backing, and not only didn't affect the interests of various civilizations, but even benefited them, making the various forces indifferent.
"Interesting, a D-rank dimensional protection research mission. It indeed matches the strength of the Bai Hai Mercenary Group."
Although this dimensional protection mission is D-rank, the danger isn't significant, so E-rank mercenary teams can take it, and they can handle it.
From all the data, it indeed seems fine.
But the prerequisite is not to overlook Wang Wei's talent.
After Wang Wei left, Qin Muye also arranged for the monsters to investigate and obtained his core talent.
【Favored by the Universe: Luck MAX】
A very simple talent, similar to the "chosen one" or "main character aura," this individual has been favored by the universe.
The name is different, and the focus should also be different.
His talent isn't like the "main character aura" in a drama, nor is it like Ji Shan, who is connected to the will of heaven.
Even if the effect is the same, the growth trajectory and future scenarios are different.
The "Favored by the Universe" talent is very interesting. Unlike the "main character aura" or "chosen one," which have certain limitations, this is the favor of the server world. Once he loses the universe's favor, Wang Wei might fall back to the dust, but the difficulty of this is likely greater than killing him.
Unless Qin Muye gains a supporting role identity, otherwise, it would be much easier to crush him to ashes than to make him lose the universe's favor.
Without the help of "The Lord's Era," Qin Muye is deeply wary of the "chosen one" and the "main character," and doesn't want to delve deeper into it.
For example, right now, he is only remotely monitoring and won’t personally get involved.
Even if he needs the data on the talent "Favored by the Universe," he wouldn’t really go undercover. He had already sent a sprite over, blending in as a supporting character, of course, not a villainous one like Qin Muye, but a proper supporting character.
He was also quite curious as to why Wang Wei joined the Bai Hai Mercenary Group. This mercenary group had no significant value, even its strongest leader was just that.
Speaking of potential, it was quite limited, and no one in the group had anything truly valuable.
So Qin Muye guessed that this Wang Wei, who had been favored by the universe, was likely planning to retrieve something from this D-rank secondary dimension.
Moreover, he had noticed that the vitality in Wang Wei’s body was unusually active, completely mismatching his situation.
Wang Wei was a human from the star system and had no special constitution. Although he had a psychic ability, it wasn’t a constitutional one. According to the intelligence, it was an ability called "Energy Ray," which allowed him to emit various types of energy rays. Qin Muye was skeptical about this.
The reason was simple: who would casually expose their trump card and invite death? The talent "Favored by the Universe" was enough on its own.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have some treasure that could conceal his information. The sprites only managed to detect one talent and couldn’t even determine his profession, so they didn’t know his actual psychic ability.
This also revealed the truth about the other party. Without some powerful treasure, how could he conceal his information?
The talent "Favored by the Universe" was likely exposed due to its unique nature.
Moreover, the other party was quite experienced.
Indeed, in Qin Muye’s eyes, Wang Wei was very experienced, not at all like a newbie. Most people who came from the Unclaimed Lands were initially naive, but Wang Wei showed no signs of it. The surveillance from the mercenary camp showed that he registered with remarkable proficiency.
This was a flaw.
Of course, Wang Wei could never have imagined such attention would be paid to him, even the three major powers had already lost interest in him.
However, if he were discovered by other lords, especially the True Dragon Emperor, they would likely go to great lengths to recruit him. Just the "Luck MAX" talent alone would be enough.
The other two lords weren’t familiar to Qin Muye, so he couldn’t really comment on them.
The Demon God was like a rabid dog, biting anyone he could. It was rumored that he had even planned to challenge Qin Muye, but was restrained by the Star Empire.
In the lords’ eyes, Qin Muye was a 7th-rank, as they were more likely to believe the records in "The Lord’s Era" than the rumors in the universe. So, while they acknowledged Qin Muye’s strength, they didn’t believe he could be an S-rank high, at most an A-rank. His current strength was attributed to certain treasures or his profession.
The True Dragon Emperor was a bit better, but the Demon God clearly wasn’t a good character, likely thinking of plundering Qin Muye.
However, such behavior was seen as suicidal by the Star Empire. They didn’t care if the Demon God was courting death, but his actions would damage their relationship with Qin Muye, which was the key issue.
Thus, they kept the Demon God in check to prevent him from causing trouble.
As for the Demon God’s claim that Qin Muye was an A-rank, no one believed it. The S-rank extraordinaries of the Star Empire weren’t fools; they had seen Qin Muye, more than once, and could clearly discern his true strength and terror.
Even when the Demon God claimed that he and Qin Muye were of the same race, the people of the Star Empire looked at him as if he were a fool. The gap between the two was not just a matter of carbon and silicon, but of the living and the dead.
Anyone with a bit of sense could see the difference. One was a human, the other a being akin to a chaotic abyss. How could they possibly be of the same race?
Just because he had a human form, did that make him human? Could synthesized beings also be considered human?
After that, the Star Empire naturally prohibited the Demon God from entering the original Blue Song star domain, or they would send him to his death.
Choosing between an 8th-rank and a 7th-rank, the Star Empire knew exactly what to do.
