“Never mind that, let’s just grab what we can now.”

“But besides this experiment, I don’t have any other projects, and I can’t possibly go harm the Court, can I? This… might actually be an option, although the Heroic Spirit Potential isn’t great. Even if I hand over this Devotion Technique, it would merely count as someone else’s accomplishment.”

“Huh, that was quick? I have a letter here and some local products; would you mind helping me send them to a student named Xiao Fan at the college in the prefecture?” Qin Muye said as he took out a package. He certainly couldn’t say he was only sending these few items; he had to include more to avoid drawing attention.

“More importantly, I feel like there’s a great opportunity for Xiao Fan just under my feet. Right now, it belongs solely to him as his destined opportunity, but if I send it over, it becomes our shared causality, like muscling in on someone else’s nest…”

“Alright, be careful on the trip; you must personally hand this package to Xiao Fan. He’s fairly well-known, a member of the Xiao Family, and his Heroic Spirit is not first-class, so make sure not to deliver it to the wrong person.” Qin Muye gave another instruction.

“I don’t feel anything special; this thing is like an accident.”

“Understood, I will definitely deliver it safely to Xiao Fan.” The Government Official said, then hurriedly left.

“Having the main character’s stuff and giving it to the main character, they’ll need to return it to me double. Not even loan sharks are this ruthless, it must be like setting up a pig for slaughter.”

“What would happen if I send it to Xiao Fan? Could it trigger a temporary skill again?” Qin Muye suddenly thought of exploiting a bug.

“Influence grows without sound, without any clue. Maybe I should change the experiment.”

“The world is a big stage,” Qin Muye couldn’t help but think.

“So… it wouldn’t be possible that this world could lose out, would it?”

“Lord King, were you looking for me?” A Government Official entered the room with a fawning expression, though he didn’t witness the incident at the village entry, he had heard about it. Those who returned had such pale faces, claiming they’d go meatless for a few days.

“Lord, rest assured, I will return within ten days.”

“Holy crap, might be worth a shot, might even end up landing a heaven-sent opportunity.”

“Here’s to hoping all goes well and saves me the trouble of asking again,” Qin Muye sincerely hoped nothing would go amiss.

“Don’t worry about it, Lord; I’ve got it covered,” the Government Official said, patting his chest.

“Here’s your travel expense; anything extra is your trouble fee. Make it quick.” Qin Muye took out ten silvers to give to him.

“They say an anomaly hints at the supernatural, so this… turned out to be quite normal after all…”

I fully trust the power of the temporary skills from Lord Era.

For Qin Muye, the Devotion Technique was no longer mediocre but trash, yet to the spirit summoners of this world, especially those below Marshal-level Heroic Spirit Potential, it’s considered a treasure, those stuck at their cultivation bottleneck don’t mind advancing their Heroic Spirit Potential slowly.

Luckily, this time I’m not the main character, but a supporting role, otherwise, I might not even have been able to conduct this experiment.

The Government Official took these instructions to heart, knowing well that with such generous rewards, screwing up could mean not being able to mix in the village in the future.

Extras probably don’t have such dilemmas.

And he vaguely felt that if he took advantage too much, it might impact Xiao Fan’s Main Character Aura, but that was just a guess; further research was needed.

And this thing isn’t just about grinding; it could also involve spending real money.

Though Ji Shan also has a Child of Destiny, the situation is still different; the talents of the two are similar but distinctly different.

Having made a firm promise, I needed to set off right away, or else all my boasting would leave me shame-faced later.

Like the main quest’s catastrophe of annihilation.

A single trip like this could be managed with just one or two silvers.

The sight of these ten silvers also brightened the Government Official’s eyes. He didn’t expect such generosity from me, suddenly giving ten silvers when he earns only one silver a month. Given the small locale, that was already a lot.

Causality forms between the supporting character and the main character, the main character gains an opportunity to grow stronger, which in turn benefits the supporting character, and the opportunity can accumulate.

Luck feels both ethereal and substantial.

Qin Muye suspected that if Ji Shan were in his original world, his Talent’s name would probably also be “Main Character Aura.” Once he left the world, it changed to either “Child of Destiny” or “Child of Fate.” Qin Muye didn’t know the difference between the two, but he was sure the effects were similar.

Qin Muye had received the reward given by the leading supporting character, and thereafter, there was nothing like sudden enlightenment or a flash of spiritual light.

Qin Muye figured it was pointless to try cracking the temporary skills, as their effects varied from good to bad, but they all shared one characteristic: the causality law. If you’re deemed capable, even if you’re not, you must act capable because those who couldn’t have perished.

Qin Muye didn’t care about the other party and just set up a simple thread on the “Devotion Technique.” If something really happened en route, he could retrieve it directly.

After all, it wouldn’t be fair not to give anything in return for someone running errands for him. Although Qin Muye seldom dealt with such matters, he understood the ways of the world.

After some thought, he decided to use a fast horse. Hiring a carriage would be too conspicuous, and what if they were attacked by bandits along the way?

It was a sort of unconventional test.

Although hiring a fast horse might be a bit more expensive, it was still a profitable deal. If he delayed the business of King, it wouldn’t be easy to explain.

Although Qin Muye felt it was useless, it was still something. It might not be of any use now, but if he managed to cultivate something impressive from it, he might be tempted.

He never thought about what Xiao Fan could give him in return; his returns mainly relied on the temporary skills and the causality law, otherwise it really depended on Xiao Fan’s conscience.

He wasn’t a Spirit Summoner and having no Heroic Spirits meant he was a bit safer.

Especially intense were the leading characters, supporting characters, villains, and others. Of course, Qin Muye meant the genuine versions, not pirated versions like him.

The current situation was that Qin Muye had calculated the returns from the pig butchering scam, but he couldn’t figure out where the pig came from.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any other easy marks out there. After all, it’s impossible for everyone to profit without loss, especially in a pig butchering scam.

Otherwise, it’s not like he’s genuinely trying to let the protagonist show off, slap faces, and start a harem, right?

What happens if the supporting character doesn’t use chance items to continue benefiting the protagonist, thus deepening their connection?

Therefore, he quickly wrote down his thoughts on paper and had someone send the letter along with the “Devotion Technique” to Xiao Fan.

Because it’s originally the protagonist’s chance, plus the feedback from the supporting characters, the other party gains 1, and by the time it reaches him, due to cumulative chances from causality, it becomes 2.

Because the effect of the “Main Character Aura” Talent is also maximum Luck, but the focus might differ.

Driven by benefits, naturally, he was more motivated.

In this matter, Qin Muye genuinely couldn’t find any arrangements made in advance. The leader of the Golden Lock Gang had been in this world who knows how many years before him; it wouldn’t be right to expect the elder to act like the younger, that wouldn’t be proper.

These life and death crises all needed the protagonist to resolve them, and the resulting plots were all to make the protagonist continuously stronger.

It wasn’t impossible. Qin Muye didn’t understand the mechanism behind luck and thus could only guess blindly.

This kind of person couldn’t appear out of nowhere, nor could such things be sent to them for no reason; everything was spawned to respond to some situation.

Just thinking about it, Qin Muye suddenly realized something–he didn’t lose out, the protagonist didn’t lose out, “Lord Era” didn’t lose out. So who lost?

As long as he wasn’t particularly unlucky, there was also no need to worry. After all, this area was quite safe, and the main risk came from potential luck, such as the world not wanting this “Devotion Technique” to fall into Xiao Fan’s hands.

Just splurge until you soar. Even if the conversion efficiency is low, it doesn’t matter; they have the power and resources to spend.

As for planning in advance, that was even less likely. Back then, Qin Muye hadn’t even come to this world yet, let alone have any temporary skills.

As for the government official… well, he can’t help with that either. It’s not like he could just step in and save them, ensuring their safety after paying them.

The prefecture was not far from Qingsong Village. If he hired a carriage, it would take about five days to arrive, but with a fast horse, it would be even quicker.

Earning more certainly also meant taking on risks, but this job was low risk, just delivering a letter.

It’s impossible to create something out of nothing. Even the pig butchering scam needed actual pigs.

In any case, everything was normal.
