Chapter 435: Chapter 365 Version Protagonist: Lind is the Me in My Dreams_3

So, the only option left was to outwit.

He had never tried before, but this time he wanted to try increasing the favorability rating of a male NPC.

Upon their first meeting, the other party had been stealing glances at him; Lind, taking advantage of this rude gaze, successfully invaded his emotions.

Favorability: 10

Lind was somewhat surprised; they had never met before, so why was there such high favorability toward him?

Just as he was preparing to boost William’s favorability, Tao Lexi’s emotions suddenly erupted; her small, palm-sized face under the big glasses filled with indignation, and her favorability instantly dropped to freezing point.

Tao Lexi? Not important at all!

When Lind declared war, Tao Lexi behaved; since there was no further favorability to lose, her emotions were "stable," though her breathing became a bit rapid and uneven.

William’s attitude also changed, with Lind’s favorability dropping by 2 points.

Lind was not surprised by this; in the end, "favorability" was just a manifestation of emotions, and numbers couldn’t represent everything because a person’s mood is always changing, just like Lania, whose favorability had previously exceeded 90 but had now dropped to 81.

It had actually been at 79, but because Lind dressed in clothes he seldom wore before, Lania’s favorability suddenly surged to 90, then dipped to 77 points. After several ups and downs, it finally settled at 81 points.

As soon as Lind said, "Begin the war," Lania’s favorability increased by 1 point.

Wait a minute! Why did the favorability of the Crimson Knight increase by 3 points?

He was certain; if he continuously used favorability as an "exploit" in interactions, it would certainly exhaust him to death; human hearts are unpredictable.

However, the Crimson Knight appeared somewhat dangerous; Lind subtly shifted his stance to avoid facing him directly with his back.

"Griffin Fortress must open its trade routes!" Lind said, "It’s essential that merchants can travel within the Kingdom, the grain tax should be reduced, but the tax on weapons and ore can be appropriately increased."

Huh?

Tao Lexi and William were both stunned; these were favorable conditions for him.

Near the "Ashen King," there were many mines, but correspondingly, the southern territories faced difficulty in producing food. People had to eat mutant grains to fill their stomachs.

"Also, soldiers must be sent to join the expedition," Lind continued; he was about to make a big move.

"Expedition?" William inquired subconsciously.

"Yes, south of the Gate of Mephisto, the Abyssal Calamity of the Great Rift is stirring; we must focus more resources there. Every Lord and soldier has a duty to contribute to the future of humankind," Lind stated.

William favorability +10

Lind smiled faintly; if you’re the true hero of this narrative, then I, a conforming NPC, how could you possibly dislike me?

"Soldiers who join the Expedition Army will receive the same treatment as the Rand Legion, and I will fully provide the weapons."

William favorability +10

"The Expedition Army will be stationed long-term at the Gate of Mephisto; you must send leaders to attend, and I will be there too, using my life as the last line of defense!"

William favorability +10

With every statement Lind made, William’s favorability surged significantly.

This was because he touched on benefits for soldiers, favorable treatment for the Undead, and his stance towards the Abyss, among other topics.

And he did so completely leading by example, sacrificing all the benefits of being a Noble.

If it weren’t William standing there today, but any other Noble, they would have absolutely despised Lind, as each of Lind’s decisions was akin to slicing flesh from their bodies.

But today, it was William standing there, the designated main character of this narrative.

Tao Lexi? She’s unimportant.

The decisions Lind was pushing out now were also ones William had considered implementing but knew he couldn’t achieve; he could only nitpick other minor benefits for the Undead.

William still believed that the Undead were the key force against the Calamity.

Warriors who neither fear nor can die – how could one refrain from making full use of their power out of fear?

He could understand the Nobles’ stinginess with wealth, but not their decisions that discarded essentials for fear of risks.

After the dinner ended, the two hurriedly left.

Tao Lexi, indignant: "He’s just a power-hungry, cunning official! Didn’t you see? He was commanding the Queen the whole time; the entire Kingdom is his land, his soldiers! He even made us sacrifice all benefits, everything!"

But William suppressed the joy in his heart, because every decision Lind made was what he wanted to achieve but was unable to.

William: Lind is the me I dream to be!
