Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 620: Seizing Fate and Bearing it, the Law of Making Profit Behind the Scenes_1

The clash between Xingyuan City and Tassel City came to a close after a seven-month-long struggle.

The victor was Sun Rui from Xingyuan City. His victory was due to his ability to see return rates, coupled with him being a business-oriented protagonist. The female protagonist from Tassel City, in terms of her archetype, leaned more towards the romance genre, and her abilities were primarily based on Luck.

However, Luck, in the Destiny Struggle, was directly impacted, causing her usually infallible assistance from influential benefactors to become completely ineffective.

The final outcome was the bankruptcy of the Love Dream Luxury Company. After losing her Destiny, the female protagonist naturally fell from grace. The primary male character in her story, his infatuation gone, absconded with all the company's remaining assets. He then struck out on his own, taking all the company's connections and clients to start anew.

Once the female protagonist's aura faded, those around her quickly realized she was merely a pretentious and hypocritical person. Influenced by pragmatism and self-interest, they all couldn't wait to distance themselves from her.

Wang Linchi was not particularly interested in what happened next.

If Sun Rui had lost, he would have suffered the same fate.

Betrayal and abandonment by everyone close would be the minimum. If he weren't a protagonist, how could he be surrounded by so many women, each one infatuated and vying for his affection out of jealousy?

Moreover, his ability to see return rates would have also been nullified. Without this power, he would have had no way to make a comeback.

His current achievements were all thanks to this return rate. Otherwise, how could he have found the opportune moments? For an ordinary person, trying to ride the wave of opportunity is not easy at all.

Wang Linchi didn't deny that both protagonists were capable. However, capability alone doesn't guarantee a rise to prominence; opportunities are also crucial.

Talented individuals are plentiful, but without a discerning eye to recognize them, they remain merely ordinary.

"The Destiny Struggle ended. There was a chance to win, but alas, the loss came down to the types of abilities," Wang Linchi sighed. In terms of strength, Love Dream Luxury Company was far superior to Sun Rui's company. Unfortunately, of the abilities she relied on—her 'love-struck' influence and Luck—only the former proved effective in the Destiny Struggle. Otherwise, Sun Rui would have most likely been the loser. If her abilities had been complete, she would have received help from numerous influential benefactors due to her good Luck. Sun Rui's return rates would have faced significant obstruction, making it very difficult for him to find a breakthrough.

The world is starting to impose restrictions.

Wang Linchi suddenly discovered that when Sun Rui, as the victor of the Destiny Struggle, was absorbing the loser's Destiny to expand, he was forcibly confined to Xingyuan City.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Tassel City would also have fallen within his sphere of Fate's influence, subsequently affecting the protagonists in surrounding cities. Naturally, the world wouldn't allow that. Thus, it forcibly restricted Sun Rui's Destiny, transforming what should have been an expansion of influence over surrounding areas into a confinement solely within Xingyuan City. However, it wasn't entirely without benefits. His Destiny inherited the abilities of Tassel City's female protagonist, granting him good Luck and the 'love-struck' aura. This caused the business-oriented protagonist to also take on a romance-type trajectory, effectively resulting in a Devouring and Fusion.

This Destiny Struggle... Wang Linchi's eyes widened as he reviewed the results. It's simply incredible! If I were to contend in a Destiny Struggle, couldn't I add various effects to my blank Luck? Wang Linchi's Luck had no other effects, only good Luck. His good Luck wasn't like that of the Tassel City female protagonist, which was specifically geared towards gaining assistance from influential benefactors. As for those he had collected, like Yan Ming King, Ye Tian, and Bai Xuan, although they were protagonists, they had become 'blank slate' protagonists like Wang Linchi. For instance, Yan Ming King lost his associated auras of 'intelligence reduction' and 'hatred inducement,' and Ye Tian lost his advantage as a Reincarnator. This was mainly because Wang Linchi lacked the relevant data to replicate those effects. Although he now possessed the corresponding 'postnatal rules,' he hadn't paid excessive attention to these protagonists. Besides, they weren't essentially Wang Linchi's protagonists; fundamentally, they still belonged to other worlds. Wang Linchi had, in a sense, taken them over and was still in the process of assimilating them. At most, they could only be considered 'controlled.'

If this succeeds, I should be able to develop my own protagonist-based profit system. These special effects are probably part of the profits. Wang Linchi genuinely hadn't anticipated that the winner of a Destiny Struggle would inherit *everything* from the loser. He had assumed it would, at most, be an inheritance of the other's Fate, which merely meant an increase in Luck.

Should I get involved personally?

This brought Wang Linchi to another question: how should he proceed?

If I get involved personally, there won't be any unforeseen variables, and I'll be able to observe the entire operational system more directly, having experienced it firsthand.

However, Wang Linchi immediately dismissed this idea.

A gentleman does not stand beneath a collapsing wall. There are benefits, true, but they come with enormous risks. Sun Rui was restricted by the world just for reaching Destiny Level 2. If I were to stack even three or five Destiny Levels on myself—never mind all of them—the world would flag me as an anomaly and investigate. At that point, perhaps even this human guise wouldn't be enough to conceal my true identity. Once my identity is exposed, I would definitely be devoured by this grand world. Although this world is certainly no match for me in combat, winning and profiting from it? That would be out of the question. Therefore, the best solution is to choose a proxy, with me controlling them from behind the scenes like a hidden manipulator. For example, a book transmigrator who also possesses an Antagonist System. No, the Antagonist System is too costly. After all, it involves going against the heavens. What I need is to go with the flow. Then let's change it: their identity is that of a villain, they obtain the Plot System, and then use clever tactics to crush the protagonist. Though I call them 'clever tactics,' it's essentially just going with the flow—twisting the process to alter the outcome. It's equivalent to completing the plotline but not achieving the intended objective, repeating this process to complete the Destiny Struggle. The principle is roughly: if you desire Immortality, you're turned into a stone or a handful of earth. The outcome is achieved, but it's not the outcome you desired; it's been twisted.

That was Wang Linchi's idea.

I'll create a book-transmigrating villain protagonist who advances by denigrating and suppressing other protagonists—including snatching their harems and opportunities, obstructing their rise, and so on—while ostensibly still making them adhere to the established plot progression. No, that's not right. I'll need two; one won't be enough. A wealthy second-generation male villain and a vicious female supporting character. And they can't be the same type. One will have a book transmigration System, and the other will be a quick-traversal cannon fodder type.

Numerous plans were recorded in the Thought Mirror, yet three insurmountable difficulties lay ahead.

The first is undoubtedly Destiny. If you're not a protagonist, on what basis can you contend with other protagonists? Although one is a wealthy second-generation villain and the other a vicious female supporting character, these are merely identity disguises. Their true identities must naturally be protagonists. Secondly, the System. They must be equipped with a Golden Finger. Otherwise, without a sufficiently powerful Golden Finger, they are bound to be outmatched by other protagonists. The Destiny I can provide is 'blank'; they are inherently disadvantaged and can only compensate through acquired means. The last point is more troublesome: the plot. Whether it's a book transmigration System or a quick-traversal cannon fodder type, they theoretically need to know the plot. Foreknowledge, combined with their own System, is what would enable them to successfully target the protagonists. Otherwise, if one could truly succeed by just finding any two random people and modifying them, things wouldn't be so difficult. Even if it were possible, I wouldn't do it that way. Since I've already invested, why not commit a bit more to the cost instead of pinching pennies? Destiny isn't an issue; I can spare two portions without a problem. As for the System, I can create that too. After expanding Soul Kind technology to modify the Soul, it's perfectly feasible, and it can even be connected to the Civilization Computer for real-time calculations. It's the final element, the plot, that's rather troublesome. Although I haven't delved into 'celestial divination,' I do know a little, but it's not very accurate. To achieve greater precision...

Wang Linchi couldn't help but glance at his Book of Records. In theory, this thing is the History of Time. If I were to further combine it with the Holy Emperor's divine authority over life, I could indeed gain the ability to peer into destiny. However, doing so is risky and could be detected by the world. I'd better improve the technology... An investment with no risk is more likely a trap falling from the sky. Wang Linchi had always adhered to the principle that investment and returns should correspond.

After improving this technology and utilizing the Civilization Computer for calculations, the probability of detection will decrease significantly, though the corresponding expenditure will also increase in tandem.

Fortunately, Wang Linchi was never one to be stingy where it mattered; in fact, he was quite generous.
