Chapter 61
"Now, there's only one Protagonist left in the capital."
"That's too dangerous. Fortunately, I didn't go to the capital."
In the Protagonist group of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, upon seeing the message from the sweeping monk Protagonist, the other Protagonists followed suit with trepidation.
The number of people in this Protagonist group had been steadily increasing. However, in the past two to three days, it had suddenly dropped by nearly a dozen. The grand scene of numerous Protagonists gathering in the royal capital was no more; it had all been handled by Su Mo alone.
Some Protagonists who had originally planned to go to the royal capital also dispelled their thoughts and decided to continue developing in other areas.
Before long, Su Mo saw the sweeping monk Protagonist in the tribunal. He was locked in a cell, bound by enchanted chains.
"You won." The sweeping monk Protagonist looked at Su Mo entering and spoke in despair. Seeing Su Mo come so quickly, he was certain. That book was definitely Su Mo's doing.
"But I don't understand why you were so sure that I would use that book. You don't even know what my golden finger is!" The sweeping monk Protagonist Wu Fan stared at Su Mo, questioning. There was a stubbornness in his gaze, a final defiance. He refused to accept it.
Su Mo waved his hand, and the other clerics outside left. Then Su Mo snapped his fingers, and a simple isolation magic circle appeared. The sweeping monk Protagonist's eyes contracted. Su Mo's move revealed his exceptionally high magical proficiency. Even in terms of strength alone, Su Mo had far surpassed him.
"What else do you want to know? I'll tell you." Su Mo said indifferently.
The sweeping monk Protagonist's eyes reddened, saying, "Tell me, how did that trace of divine power come about? Let me die with understanding! I promise I won't reveal your secrets in the Protagonist group!"
He couldn't comprehend it. Why would there be divine power originating from a Demon God in a library that collected ancient magic books? The library was certainly checked by the Holy See!
At that time, he had suffered a shock due to the Protagonists dying successively, and he didn't consider it much. However, after being locked up here and facing a dead end, when he calmed down, the sweeping monk Protagonist felt that something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
Everything seemed to be part of Su Mo's plan. But he refused to accept it. Why was Su Mo so sure that he would use that book? Su Mo didn't even know what his golden finger was. What puzzled him even more was how Su Mo could obtain divine power originating from a Demon God—a type of divine power that the Holy See couldn't acquire!
Su Mo looked at the sweeping monk Protagonist with bloodshot eyes. Then, he snapped his fingers again, and another magic circle appeared in the dungeon.
"Alright, I'll let you die with understanding." Su Mo said, raising his finger. There was a faint breath of divine power on his finger. This trace of divine power was extremely weak because any stronger, and it would not be concealed by the two magic circles. However, it was enough for the sweeping monk Protagonist to sense. The sweeping monk Protagonist felt that divine power, and a lightning bolt flashed through his mind.

These three golden fingers are all good. If he incorporated all of them, it would require 1,500 Villain Points, just enough from killing three Protagonists.
Su Mo hesitated, whether to first incorporate a few golden fingers or save them and upgrade to a Gold Level golden finger first. He glanced at the Villain panel. On the Villain panel, there were still a lot of golden fingers.
"It's time for the Flurogold System to refresh." At this moment, Su Mo noticed that the items inside the Flurogold System had all refreshed again. He opened the Flurogold System and took out a large number of gold coins, starting his shopping spree.
More than ten minutes later, the Flurogold System was once again empty. Su Mo contemplated for a moment, then decided to spend 100 Villain Points to incorporate another Flurogold System. After that, he initiated the fusion process.
Once the two Flurogold Systems were merged, Su Mo noticed that the Villain Points required for the Flurogold System to reach Silver Level had decreased by half. The new Flurogold System was now at the Bronze Level.
"It refreshed again?" Su Mo observed that the items inside the Flurogold System had refreshed after the fusion. Without hesitation, he started another shopping spree.
After about fifteen minutes, he had cleared the Flurogold System once more. After the second refresh, due to the fusion, the items inside had upgraded significantly. Su Mo spent nearly four million gold coins in two waves of shopping.
"It's still not powerful enough." Looking at the empty Flurogold System, Su Mo thought. Despite having a considerable amount of gold coins left, the Flurogold System had been exhausted. It seemed that upgrading to the Silver Level would make it more efficient.
After evaluating the items obtained, Su Mo found many useful things that could be used for cultivation or to enhance the strength of his subordinates. So, after some consideration, Su Mo decided to spend the Villain Points and upgraded the Flurogold System to the Silver Level.
After this upgrade, the items inside the Flurogold System refreshed again. Indeed, the items had improved significantly after reaching the Silver Level. Even intermediate magic experience books appeared.
Su Mo didn't hesitate to start another round of shopping. This time, it took him nearly twenty minutes to clear the entire system. The room was now filled with an overwhelming amount of items, almost running out of space. If all these items were used, one could cultivate a Holy Level and two to three Legendary Levels in a short time.
"Not bad, not bad." Su Mo smiled as he looked at the piled-up items.
"The system just needs to be more powerful." Glancing at the empty Flurogold System, Su Mo complained.
The Flurogold System: ??? Are you polite?
If the Flurogold System had a consciousness, it would probably be rendered speechless once again. Damn, it was swept clean three times in a row! As a golden finger, should it still have any face?
