Chapter 1: The Mysterious Plan
“Version 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, how do they all have this ability? Did you arrange all this?” Lin Nuo asked.
Fu replied:
“Because of the existence of the Great Magic Array, the spirit energy field unconsciously affects their water source. They drink the local water, and over time, a few strong young men gain the ability to act as support points. When they go to sea, I meet with them to seek their opinions on whether they are willing to become the heirs of this support point.”
“What if they refuse? Will they be silenced?”
“Not at all! I erase their memories, and they go back. Thankfully, I’ve never had to erase anyone’s memories; I can find an heir in just one try.”
Fu sighed, acknowledging that this was essentially sacrificing himself to act as a guardian of Ru Yu Village. However, every time he looked for an heir, they would agree immediately.
To Lin Nuo, this seemed absurd, but upon reflection, he could understand the villagers of Ru Yu Village.
He wasn’t sure how he dealt with this group of kind villagers. Being around good people usually annoyed him, but not with them.
“As for Yu Long, he is the only one in this generation who can take on this heavy responsibility, and thankfully, he agreed,” Fu continued.
“So, you brought me in here to help persuade the villagers to leave?” Lin Nuo asked.
“Mm, it has to be this way. You discovered this entry point, demonstrating impressive strength, and you’re also a villager of Ru Yu Village. I trust you,” Fu said.
Lin Nuo chuckled; it was downright funny that a villain like him was trusted to make the villagers evacuate.
“I’ll do my best.”
Lin Nuo responded on the surface, but suddenly thought—where would they run? Would everyone join the beggar gang?
“Lin Nuo…”
At that moment, Yu Long’s voice came through,
“How are my little sister and my parents doing?”
Hearing Yu Long’s voice filled with sadness and helplessness, Lin Nuo paused slightly before replying:
“They’re all doing well.”
