Chapter 156 The Power of Protagonist?2
At least Jiang Beiran was sure that Wu Qingce, who had studied formations for two years, would never be able to do it.
“Well, I have to thank brother Wang for the formation book you gave me last time. I learned a lot from it and learned a lot of things.”
Jiang Beiran put away his surprise and asked again, “Have you studied formations before?” “Third uncle taught me some, but they were just the basics.”
“Your third uncle sure knows a lot of things…”
“Yes!” Li Fucheng nodded hard. “Third uncle is really amazing. My mother said that if it weren’t for some unforeseen circumstances, the leader of our Church of Blood Inferno should have been third uncle, but…”
[ Option 1: Continue listening. Reward for completion: gold spirit illusion technique ]
[ Option 2: Interrupt the conversation of Li Fucheng. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]
“Sh*t, here we go again.” Jiang Beiran cursed in his heart.
After experiencing this once, Jiang Beiran chose option 2 and slowly shook his head, “I don’t want to know about your family affairs. Let’s talk about the formation.”
[ Option mission completed. Reward: calligraphy + 1]
“Sorry, I get a little excited whenever third uncle is mentioned, this formation is actually…”
“Sigh… the story of the Church of Blood Inferno seems to be enough to make a third-rate TV series.” Jiang Beiran roasted in his heart.
Then, Li Fucheng recounted how he had read through the “Book of Eight Palaces and Four Rivers” and extracted the knowledge points from the few formations in the book. Then, he tried to lay out all the processes of the other array formations.
And after Li Fucheng had said so much, Jiang Beiran only interpreted Li Fucheng’s words into one sentence, “I’m the protagonist, I’m awesome.”
If what Li Fucheng said was true, then his talent in formation was simply monstrous.
“I see. It seems that you are indeed very talented in formation.” Jiang Beiran commented with certainty in the end.
“Brother Wang.” Li Fucheng suddenly looked at Jiang Beiran seriously and spoke. “What’s wrong?”
“Actually…” Lie Fucheng Sighed. “I’m very confused now. Although I made a name for myself in the Rivernorth by accident, I’m very clear that it’s not because of my own strength.”
“Oh, you still have some self-awareness.”
Jiang Beiran’s evaluation of Li Fucheng rose a little.
After saying that, Li Fucheng hesitated for a while before continuing, “When we met last time, your words were still fresh in my mind. It inspired me greatly. When I can’t get my head around something, you appeared in my mind again. I believe that it must be fate.”
“How did this child fool himself into worshiping me?”
However, Jiang Beiran did not intend to destroy his faith. He even cooperated and took a high-ranking position.
As expected, Li Fucheng became even more excited when he saw this. He stood up and bowed to Jiang Beiran. “Brother Wang, please give me some guidance on what I should do next.”
As soon as Li Fucheng finished speaking, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.
[ Option 1: Take advantage of the situation to subdue Li Fucheng. Reward: Dragon Guiding Buddha Spear (low tier earth rank)]
[ Option 2: Seriously analyze what Li Fucheng should do next. Reward: Vermillion Fantasy Scripture (Low tier black rank)]
[ Option 3: How would I know? Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]
“F*ck… as expected of the protagonist in this world. He can easily trigger the earth-rank option. But what the hell is subduing him? Do I have to catch him with a poke ball?” After he finished ridiculing in his heart, Jiang Beiran carefully analyzed the first two options. He could roughly understand that if the trajectory of Li Fucheng’s life was changed because of his words, then this change would affect him as well. It would be quite troublesome.
“It is not easy to make the protagonist as your lackey. I guess I’ll just give up. This kind of people’s fate is really too tough. It’s easy to kill the people around them.”
After choosing option 3, Jiang Beiran smiled and replied, “How would I know?”
[ Option mission completed. Reward: strength + 1]
This sudden answer almost made Li Fucheng almost sprained his back.
Li Fucheng saw his Brother Wang stared at him as if he wanted to answer seriously. He thought that Brother Wang would definitely point out a suitable path for him. However, he did not expect to receive such a joke-like sentence.
“That’s not right… If Brother Wang said it so seriously, it must not be a joke. Could it be that… Brother Wang means that I have to walk the path of life on my own. No one can help me, so instead of hesitating, it’s better to challenge the unknown.’
“How would I know? That’s right. Brother Wang’s words carry many meanings. No one knows what will happen after they make their choices, and no one knows what they will encounter tomorrow. However, only by taking action will there be a tomorrow, and only then will there be a future.”
After instantly understanding what Jiang Beiran meant, Lie Fucheng once again bowed and sincerely cupped his hands in thanks. “Thank you for your guidance, Brother Wang. I know what to do now.”
“What do you know?” Looking at Li Fucheng’s satisfied expression, Jiang Beiran was a little dumbfounded.
“This fellow is really more unconventional than me.” Jiang Beiran thought.
After bowing, Li Fucheng stood up again and said, “Brother Wang, I’m willing to become your underling. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Don’t.” Jiang Beiran waved his hand. “We are
equal.”
Since he knew Li Fucheng had the fate of causing misfortune to the people around him, Jiang Beiran really didn’t deserve to be his big brother.
Li Fucheng was a little disappointed when he heard it, but he still cupped his hands and agreed.
Nodding his head, Jiang Beiran said, “You’ve helped enough. We’ll see how things go.”
Now, he had already figured out the background of the Yellow Gang, and he had also fished out a few big fishes. As long as he sent this information over, the Yellow Gang would face the raging attack from the two giants of Fengzhou. They had absolutely no chance of survival.
“Yes…” Li Fucheng realized that something was wrong and changed his words, “Okay, I got
it.”
Jiang Beiran was worried that Li Fucheng would beg to become his underling. He stood up and said, “Thank you for the information this time. You’ve been a big help. Now, I have to hurry up and deal with it. We’ll meet again.”
“Brother Wang!”
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to walk out of the courtyard, Li Fucheng suddenly shouted.
Jiang Beiran was about to stop when he saw two options jump out.
[ Option 1: Stop and ask what it is. Reward: Thousand Red Nether Record (middle tier black grade)]
[ Option 2: Leave immediately. Reward: Random Basic Skill Points + 1]
He decisively chose option 2 and left the courtyard without looking back.
[ Option mission completed. Reward: Alchemy + 1]
As Li Fucheng watched his Brother Wang leave, Li Fucheng stood still for a long time until Tang Tingshuang walked over and asked, “Has Brother Wang left?”
“Yes.” Li Fucheng nodded.
Looking at Li Fucheng’s disappointed expression, Tang Tingshuang, who had overheard their conversation in the kitchen, could not help but say, “I don’t know why Brother Wang Is so cold to you, senior brother.”
“No! It’s not like that.” Li Fucheng shook his head.
“Then why does Brother Wang want to draw a clear line with you?”
“Can’t you tell that Brother Wang is protecting
US?”
“Protecting us…?” Tang Tingshuang blinked her eyes in confusion.
“You should know very well what kind of existence the Yellow Gang is.”
“Yes.” Tang Tingshuang nodded.
“Brother Wang said he wanted to uproot the Yellow Gang. Do you know what does it mean? It means that Brother Wang is in a completely different realm from us. He’s afraid that he ‘ll dragged us into danger, so he’s not willing to talk to us.”
As he spoke, Li Fucheng Sighed. “I told Brother Wang that I’m not afraid of strong enemies and hoped that he’ll give me a chance to fight alongside him. But Brother Wang clearly knows what I’m going to say, so he has no intention of stopping. This means that Brother Wang really doesn’t want to implicate us.”
“I see…” Tang Tingshuang came to a sudden realization.
Looking at the direction where Jiang Bei suddenly disappeared, Li Fucheng secretly swore, “I must become stronger. So strong that Brother Wang will let me face the dangers together with him.”
