Chapter 23: Ring upgrade! Silver rank villain!

Above the castle, magical flying ships flew past one after another.

Tsk, the Earl of Blackstone, is incredibly wealthy. He has so many airships under his banner.

Yes, a flying ship costs tens of thousands of gold coins.

Tens of thousands of gold coins? My goodness, I only earn a few silver coins per month.

.

In the region, people would come and go. Many caught sight of the magical flying ships in the sky, and all were astounded by the wealth of the Earl of Blackstone. This was a shared observation among everyone who visited Blackstone. The noble factions of the Crescent Kingdom had already concluded that anyone who arrived at Blackstone unaware of its opulence was a simpleton.

The carrying capacity of these magical airships was average, and they could not transport heavy objects in a single trip. Their speed was naturally not as fast as an aeroplane from another world, but it was much faster than carriages and other traditional means of transportation. The price for these airships was also not low. Even if one had the funds, they could still be purchased. However, Su Mo had more than a dozen ships at his disposal. It could be said that he was the noble with the most magical flying ships in the entire Crescent Kingdom.

.

Unknown to most, the magical flying ships soaring over the castle were filled with suspected protagonists. They didnt need to land but only fly over the castle, allowing Su Mo to discern if any protagonists were on board. Airships without such individuals were ordered to return immediately. One airship received the order and landed behind the castle. Several individuals suspected to be protagonists were taken into the castle, still in a state of unconsciousness.

Su Mo carefully examined the group of suspected protagonists until he eventually identified the real protagonist. He had gotten lucky. Another protagonist was discovered amongst the group, and several other suspected individuals were swiftly taken away. They would be transported back overnight and returned to their original locations. These suspected protagonists were of low status in the Crescent Kingdom, and if they were to disappear for a short period, few would likely take notice.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

After activating the magic array, Su Mo examined the protagonist closely and soon learned they were bronze-level protagonists.

Villain value: 700/100

Record: five

Luck value: seventy-seven

Warning distance: twenty-five kilometres

Ranking: None

New permission: Can view.

Su Mo reaped numerous benefits after attaining the status of a silver-level villain. His luck increased by 50 points, courtesy of the misfortune he had inflicted upon the protagonist. With this stroke of luck, Su Mos overall luck rose to 77 points. However, Su Mo was not content with being a silver-level villain. He set his sights on becoming a gold-level villain, which required either possessing a gold-level gold finger or accumulating a villain value of 5000.

If Su Mo met either of these criteria, he would be eligible for promotion to the coveted status of a gold-level villain. He knew this would require even more cunning and strategy, but he was determined to achieve his goal and ascend to greater heights in the villainous world.

Su Mos record was updated on the panel, indicating that he had completed five protagonist missions. As a result, his record now stood at five. Additionally, he received some new permissions, including a reduction in the warning distance from fifty kilometres to twenty-five kilometres.

Curious about his new permissions, Su Mo clicked on the corresponding column. He discovered that, as a silver-level villain, he now had two additional permissions compared to a bronze-level villain.

Authority 1: Silver-level villains can also use villain points to improve their luck, and the cost of villain points is three times higher than that of the protagonist.

Authority 2: After a silver-level villain kills a bronze-level protagonist, the probability of obtaining his golden finger increases.

Su Mo was pleased with his progress and excited to take advantage of his expanded capabilities.
