37: The clue to the Kongtong Seal is broken! Am I the villain?
"Su Chenxing?" Qin Yang frowned.
Like the other Professionals, he had the same question in his heart.
Why would this guy come to the Plague Rat Path?
Su Chenxing's Rank was 11.
There should be plenty of Secret Realms suitable for this Rank.
He had no reason to choose the Plague Rat Path, which was dirty, smelly, and lacked clear rewards.
As Qin Yang thought about this, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.
Ever since he learned that Su Chenxing had tied Luo Fan's record, he had become interested in this person.
To catch up to Luo Fan, who possessed an Epic-Rank profession, with a Superior-Rank profession was actually quite absurd.
As the owner of the only Hidden profession, Qin Yang understood the gap between professions very well.
Take the Supreme Emperor for example; any skill pulled from it was an unsolvable existence.
In terms of summoning, whose summoned creature could have a divine skill like Flash Support?
In terms of damage, the Divine Weapon of the World could unleash hundreds or thousands of attacks at once.
In terms of crowd control, even a Paladin with invincibility activated would obey his words, kneeling the moment he commanded it.
Even if other professions weren't as outrageous, there was still a "Transcendental-Rank" gap between Epic and Superior Ranks.
The two levels were simply not on the same dimension.
The gap between them could not be bridged by effort or Wisdom alone.
Therefore… intuition told Qin Yang that Su Chenxing also harbored secrets.
"How about I see what this kid is up to?" Qin Yang thought to himself.
Come to think of it, Su Chenxing's background was also quite something.
He lost both parents at a young age, grew up on subsidies, and lived alone in a tiny rented room.
"This buff stack is almost full; he might just be the protagonist," Qin Yang chuckled inwardly.
Su Chenxing was only missing a non-blood-related older or younger sister to complete the protagonist template.
Suddenly, Qin Yang's gaze became serious.
He realized a problem.
To some extent, a childhood sweetheart was equivalent to an older or younger sister.
Before Awakening his memories, he had even been holding Su Chenxing's childhood sweetheart while soaking in a hot spring.
"Oh no, am I the villain?" Thinking of this, Qin Yang couldn't help but find it amusing.
An idle, good-for-nothing rich second generation, a heartless pile driver.
His persona really didn't seem like that of a decent character.
If Su Chenxing was the protagonist, then the Qin Family would definitely be the first to be exterminated.
At this moment, a prompt appeared before Qin Yang's eyes.
[You have realized the existence of a Child of Luck, what do you choose...]
[Benevolent Emperor]: Recruit him as your right-hand man to assist Me in governing the world. (Spirit +10)
[Dim-witted Emperor]: How dare he! Exterminate the Nine Clans isn't enough! I will exterminate his Ten Clans! (Physique +10)
[Tyrant]: I have something to say about dealing with a Child of Luck! Killing a Child of Luck directly will only bring down heavenly fire and meteorites! The correct way is to seize their Luck, weaken them into an ordinary person, and then execute them! Remember! You must wipe them out completely! Even the earthworms at their home must be split vertically! (Luck +10000, Imperial Power +10000).
"Su Chenxing is a Child of Luck?" Qin Yang was slightly stunned.
So I really am the villain?
Also, Dim-witted Emperor, what are you trying to do?
Within Su Chenxing's Ten Clans, there is Me, his classmate!
The Benevolent Emperor option is even more ridiculous.
Which Child of Luck would assist an emperor?
The Tyrant option is the most reliable this time; although I don't know what a Luck increase means, he has the most text, so I'll listen to him.
Qin Yang decisively chose the Tyrant option, and a prompt immediately appeared before his eyes.
[Luck +10000]
[Because the Divine Artifact kongtong seal is not held, the Luck value is not currently displayed.]
[Luck Value Introduction]: Can influence the destiny of others and oneself, and can even change the course of history.
"The kongtong seal!" Qin Yang's eyes brightened. Divine Artifact clue +1.
Although the clue was small, it at least confirmed that the kongtong seal was one of the Divine Artifacts, providing a starting point for the search.
"This Luck value can actually influence the destiny of others and change the course of history."
"Its importance is no less than Imperial Power."
"Can I fleece it directly from Su Chenxing?"
As Qin Yang thought this, just as he was about to look up to find Su Chenxing, discussions reached his ears from the side.
"This Su Chenxing is really a lone wolf; he actually won't team up with us. We have experience fighting in the Plague Rat Path."
"Isn't that right? Since his Awakening, Su Chenxing has never teamed up with anyone. He ignores classmates who ask him to level up together."
"However, this guy really has something; he soloed to Rank 11. Even Luo Fan doesn't have that ability."
"It's just a pity that he's a selfish guy…"
Hearing these comments, Qin Yang realized that Su Chenxing had already entered the Secret Realm.
The Professionals who had originally fawned over Su Chenxing had changed their tune; the expressions on their faces and their tones were indescribably bitter.
"Leveling up alone… fits the characteristics of a Child of Luck." Qin Yang thought, and with a thought, he initiated the Secret Realm teleportation.
He wanted to see exactly what Su Chenxing's reliance for solo leveling was.
The scenery before his eyes changed, and Qin Yang arrived once again in that dim, damp sewer.
After a 72-hour refresh, countless rats had accumulated here again, scurrying back and forth in the winding pipes.
Qin Yang did not immediately activate Exterminate the Nine Clans; he only summoned 25 Imperial City Guards, dispersing them throughout the maze of the Plague Rat Path.
They had only one mission, and that was to find Su Chenxing.
As the Imperial City Guards, clad in dark gold armor, disappeared around the dark corners of the maze, a smile curled on Qin Yang's lips.
"Let me see the methods of a Child of Luck."
Perhaps it was because Qin Yang's Luck was higher than Su Chenxing's.
In less than 5 minutes, an Imperial Guard discovered the target.
Qin Yang immediately ordered the Imperial Guard to hide, and then, through his perspective, he monitored the screen while commanding the other guards to approach Su Chenxing's location.
The place where Su Chenxing was located was very familiar to Qin Yang.
It was a circular reservoir of two or three hundred square meters.
The Gall Willow's challenge Secret Realm was discovered right here.
At this moment, Su Chenxing was surrounded by wind flurries, floating above the circular reservoir.
In the reservoir, there were dense, layered piles of plague rats, numbering in the hundreds or thousands.
"He really did come to farm plague rats." Qin Yang guessed Su Chenxing's intention.
He wanted to take advantage of when the plague rats gathered to wipe out the monsters using an AOE skill.
There looked to be over a thousand rats in the reservoir.
Calculating at 10 experience points each, if he could clear them all in one wave, he would gain 10,000 experience points, equivalent to soloing an 18-Rank Boss.
However… that reservoir was two or three hundred square meters.
The Gale Swordsman profession didn't have such a large-area crowd-clearing skill.
Just as Qin Yang was thinking this, Su Chenxing, above the reservoir, narrowed his eyes and swung his sword downwards with all his might!
"Hui Yue Gale Slash!"
Whoosh! A sharp whistling of wind sounded.
The rapidly flowing wind flurries, carrying silver flames, swept through the reservoir full of plague rats.
Those silver flames had an extremely fast spreading speed.
Falling into the circular reservoir, it was as if they had encountered alcohol, instantly spreading across the entire area.
Hundreds and thousands of rats let out painful screams amidst the silver flames.
In just a few dozen seconds, the rats in the reservoir were all wiped out.
"My little rats…" Seeing Su Chenxing clear the rats in one wave, Qin Yang felt very heartbroken.
Those plump, juicy rats were supposed to be his.
In exchange, he also obtained intelligence.
Su Chenxing really did have unknown secrets.
The Gale Swordsman profession did not have the ability to manipulate flames.
And those silver flames, at a glance, were not ordinary things.
"Does this guy have top-tier equipment on him?" Qin Yang guessed inwardly.
Just then, Su Chenxing laughed wildly.
"Hahaha! Awesome!"
"This wave of monster clearing got me over 10,000 experience points, equivalent to killing an 18-Rank Boss!"
"Why is he talking to himself?" Qin Yang thought.
The Imperial Guard shared not only vision with Qin Yang, but also hearing.
At this moment, Su Chenxing did not know that he was being monitored in all aspects by someone.
After his wild joy, he revealed a look of anxiety, saying:
"The experience from this one-shot kill is indeed a lot, but are you sure the rats will gather here again?"
You? Who?
Hearing Su Chenxing's "talking to himself," Qin Yang frowned.
The word "you" was in his speech; this was clearly not talking to himself!
Just then, a soft female voice rang out.
"Master, please rest assured. In about 15 minutes, the plague rats will gather here again and fill the entire reservoir."
Appearing simultaneously with the voice was an elf woman dressed in light gauze.
She slowly emerged beside Su Chenxing, like a ghost.
"Whoa! This guy is really cheating!" Seeing the woman appear out of thin air, Qin Yang rarely showed a look of surprise.
No wonder Su Chenxing leveled up so fast!
His secret was actually a Spirit Weapon young lady?
