Chapter 54: Chapter 54: A Plot Full of Logical Problems
?
Wang Shenxing, upon hearing Qin Muye's words, couldn't help but feel somewhat bewildered. Had it been earlier, he indeed would have had doubts, but things were different now. He had just experienced reincarnation, and the last reincarnation was not a failure in completing the story; rather, he had completed it. Under normal circumstances, he should have returned to reality.
But what happened? The system had used a bug to send him back and even replaced the main character in the process-what was that all about?
And the current main character obviously bore good intentions toward him, unlike Long Aotian from the previous reincarnations.
It seemed that he, too, was trapped at a plot node just like him.
"How confident are you?" Wang Shenxing asked, his voice hoarse.
"I have no confidence at all, it's just a guess. After all, pies don't just fall from the sky, so we need to change the way we live and stop being manipulated."
"If we could gain the support of the entire national situation, not to mention other aspects, at least in terms of the plot, it would be us controlling it, rather than us conforming to it."
Qin Muye's bold visions indeed tempted Wang Shenxing a bit.
"However, obtaining the national situation is not so easy, especially since we don't have any bargaining chips." Wang Shenxing was a rational person; despite having been beaten up several times, he was still a young master and had been exposed to certain matters.
Qin Muye shook his head: "The story should have just started, right? So before this, you also had your own life. I don't believe you were just idling away your days. If push comes to shove, you can mix with me. If you can't manage, I can."
"Anyway, we're both unlucky chaps. You need my help to complete the face-slapping, and I need your cooperation with the plot; we are natural allies. As long as we act well in this play, regardless of whether you can go back or not, you will have a better life."
Wang Shenxing was truly moved by Qin Muye's words this time.
If going back was not a lie, then by cooperating with the other party to complete the plot, he could also snag a better life, as long as the plot did not deviate; he could simply lie back and win.
And if it was a lie, then even better. With the cooperation of this powerful figure, he would never end up with a broken home and lost fortune; he could comfortably live the life of a wealthy young master here. More importantly, considering the other party's situation, he obviously had strong backing, being the main character.
As long as he held on tight, not only would food and clothes be taken care of, but getting his backer's group to move up a level would also not be a problem.
So, no matter how he looked at it, it was a win-win situation.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble the big boss a lot from now on," Wang Shenxing said
immediately, his face shameless; this was a glimmer of hope for him.
"Well, now you can tell me about my background, right? I always feel like my current identity is slightly illegal," Qin Muye commented playfully, discerning the other's thoughts.
Qin Muye was not afraid that the other, being a fellow transmigrator, would kill him. The reason was simple: the other obviously needed his cooperation, and he had also shown goodwill, so it was unlikely that they would really end up fighting to the death.
Moreover, considering the other's situation, Qin Muye deduced that if he died, the other would likely have to restart, especially since he had probed out that this was not the other's first experience, and likely something was binding him.
"You, you're called Xiao Chen, an orphan with a doctor as a master. You inherited his powerful medical skills, and you are also a Dark Energy Martial Artist, the world's top mercenary known as Dragon King; this time, you came back to investigate the cause of your master's death."
"Later on, in order to hide his identity, he worked as a security guard at Shen Group. After that humbling experience, you won the affection of Shen Qingqing, and subsequently embarked on an investigative journey with the help of Shen Group."
"And then the plot goes on..."
Wang Shenxing summarized the plot briefly, which essentially involved showing off, smacking down naysayers, and winning over beauties.
After listening to all this, Qin Muye also began to question life: "Don't you think there are all sorts of problems with this? For instance, about getting married, I remember that our system is supposed to be monogamous, right? And then there's Xiao Chen with such a big background. Why doesn't he just return to Wen Country and surrender? With his medical skills and power, the high levels of Wen Country would definitely help."
"Another thing, why would he hide his identity by being a security guard if he possesses the 'Dark Strength' medical skills to resurrect the dead and heal bones? Wouldn't it be better to treat the ailments of high officials? If not, contacting the high officials of Wen Country through his top-tier Mercenary organization, Dragon King Hall, would be a better strategy than this."
"And with that kind of brain, he can become a top-tier Mercenary commanding the world's strongest mercenary organization, Dragon King Hall? It'd probably disband in three days." Wang Shenxing was taken aback by Qin Muye's doubts, finding them quite logical.
It was supposed to be a simple matter, but it turned out like this.
"Dude, have you ever thought about one thing? If we really did it your way, it would indeed be easy, but then we wouldn't have the chance to show off, smite faces, and win beauties. That's the core plot, not so-called revenge for the Master. Didn't you notice that by the end, Xiao Chen hasn't taken revenge for his Master, he doesn't even know the cause of his Master's death," explained Wang Shenxing kindly.
This directly stumped Qin Muye. There were logical flaws, no doubt, but he didn't understand the demands of the plot.
"Alright, indeed it is so." Qin Muye shrugged his shoulders, admitting it was nonsense, but it didn't matter.
"Now that your issue is settled, what should I do about my situation? You mentioned that due to the shift of the Main Character Aura, the main female character can hear my thoughts. How do I block that..." Regarding Xiao Chen's harem, Wang Shenxing had no interest at all. He didn't want second-hand even if they were still unused, but having seen much, he naturally was put off.
"Oh, no worries, you don't need the main female characters. Mainly my role is to smack your face, right? We just need to lure the person out and go without real props. Didn't we just try it today? I smack your face, you get your face smacked. It went pretty smoothly," Qin Muye assured there was no problem.
"Fine, you're the boss, what you say goes." Wang Shenxing said verbally, but he still planned to try it out once he got back.
"I remembered a very important thing, and that's I might carry something on me that could affect people. Considering what you've told me earlier, this world is quite normal and follows basic logic. However, aside from you, the villains still end up doing some foolish acts. Therefore, when you introduce me, it's best to avoid anyone directly or indirectly related to the plot to avoid complications," Qin Muye advised.
"So you mean reducing intelligence and mockery? Worthy of being a boss, you've analyzed so much at once, I'll be careful."
"But don't worry, boss. Most of the time it involves smacking down rich second-generation kids and thugs. If our plan succeeds and momentum is on our side, these people will be mere ants," Wang Shenxing wasn't stupid, he naturally knew all this.
