Chapter 537 -539: Talent – Cosmic Favor

“Damn, he really did become a mercenary, and he joined a mercenary group with such a clear purpose. Could this kid be a reincarnator? His actions are too deliberate, like he’s got a strategy guide or something.”

Qin Muye looked at the intelligence in his hand. Aside from Wang Wei, he had the information on all the members of the Bai Hai Mercenary Group.

Even though the Mercenary Camp is a neutral force, it wasn’t a simple matter for Qin Muye to investigate such a small mercenary group. Did people really think the secrecy of the Mercenary Camp was as tight as a safe?

At most, it’s like a bank, but it’s not up to the standard of a safe, which, without sufficient technology, can only be cracked by brute force.

Black Hand just mentioned it to some people in the Mercenary Camp and sent over some ‘small’ gifts; then, he didn’t even need the Spirit Monsters to collect the data—it was delivered directly to him.

As for the Mercenary Camp, Qin Muye was well aware of it. He had a hand in it a month ago, and at present, there’s a good sale of arms that’s quite popular—discounts are available based on the mercenary’s level, so naturally, mercenaries who are all in it for the money are very keen on such a good and cheap deal.

“I have to say, strength drives status, and a lot of things have become countless times more convenient because of it.” Qin Muye seemed to see through this world. Initially, the Mercenary Camp wasn’t something he intended to get involved in, but they approached him on their own.

Latter investigations showed that almost every S-level had a share, and the cake was divided very cleverly. That’s why the Mercenary Camp can exist as a force that’s second only to the three great powers and spread across various civilizations—it’s truly everyone’s cake.

You’d have to see if the others agree if you want to be the dominant one.

And the Mercenary Camp is not merely a producer of mercenaries, but also the largest brokerage, intelligence organization, and so on.

Every month, the cut for Qin Muye isn’t small, after all, with such a large force, the benefits are definitely ample.

However, these benefit distributions also have their hierarchies.

For example, Qin Muye is in the top tier, not because he’s handsome, but purely because he’s strong.

It was confirmed during the interstellar conference. Although Qin Muye didn’t know about this, the Mercenary Camp was aware that they couldn’t shortchange him.

Qin Muye could refuse it, but the Mercenary Camp had to offer.

After all, the Mercenary Camp had to curry favor with such a high-ranking S-level, to prevent dissatisfaction and unnecessary trouble.

When Qin Muye learned of this, of course, he accepted it deservedly. Everyone else took their share, and if you play the purist and don’t take yours, wouldn’t it offend everyone?

If Qin Muye were overwhelming enough, it wouldn’t matter, but if not, he definitely had to go with the flow.

Thus, the Mercenary Camp was able to gradually grow stronger—this backing was truly firm, and it not only didn’t affect the interests of various civilizations but helped them instead. Naturally, the various powers were relatively indifferent.

“Interesting, a D-level sub-dimension defense of a scientific research task, indeed a very good fit for the Bai Hai Mercenary Group’s strength.”

Even though this sub-dimension is rated D-level, because the danger isn’t significant, an E-level mercenary team can take the job, and it’s just right for them.

Looking at the data from all aspects, indeed, there are no problems.

But that’s assuming Wang Wei’s Talent isn’t taken into account.

After Wang Wei left, Qin Muye had the Spirit Monsters carry out an investigation and found out the other’s core Talent.

[Cosmic Favor: Luck MAX]

A very plain Talent, similar to the Child of Destiny and Main Character Aura, he has gained the favor of the cosmos.

It has a different name, and presumably, different emphases.

His Talent isn’t like the Main Character Aura, as in a drama’s main character, nor is it related to destiny like Ji Shan’s.

Even if the effects are consistent, the growth trajectory and future outcomes are different.

The Talent of Cosmic Favor is interesting, unlike the Main Character Aura or Child of Destiny, which may have certain limitations. This thing is just the favor of this server world, and once you lose the Cosmic Favor, Wang Wei might very well fall back to mediocrity. However, this would probably be more difficult than killing him.

Unless Qin Muye gains the role of a Supporting Character, it would probably be much easier to utterly crush him than to make him lose the Cosmic Favor.

If it were not for the help of “Lord Era,” Qin Muye would have been deeply wary of the so-called Children of Destiny and main characters. He didn’t want to get too close to them at all.

Just like now, he operates from a distance, never getting involved in person.

Even if he needed the data on the Cosmic Favor Talent the other possessed, he would never actually sneak up close to him. He had long since dispatched a Spirit Monster to infiltrate the other’s ranks, blending in as a prominent supporting character—of course, not a scourge like Qin Muye, but a genuine, positive counterpart.

He was actually very curious about what Wang Wei hoped to accomplish by joining the White Sea Mercenary Group. The group didn’t hold much value, and even their strongest leader was just so-so at best.

As for potential, it seemed quite limited; none of the members had any noteworthy treasures.

Thus, Qin Muye guessed that this Wang Wei, who had been favored by the cosmos, was very likely planning to snatch some item from within this D-level sub-dimension.

He also noticed something very peculiar about the young man’s life force; it was far too active and didn’t fit his situation at all.

Wang Wei, a member of the Human Clan of the interstellar community, had no special constitution. Although he possessed a superpower, it wasn’t a constitutive one. According to the information he had, it was a superpower called Energy Beam, which allowed him to emit various types of energy beams. This was something Qin Muye doubted.

The reason was simple—who would expose their trump card and court death?

The Talent of Cosmic Favor was enough on its own.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be something on the other’s person that could conceal his personal information. The Spirit Monsters could only detect one Talent and not even his profession, so they had no clue what his actual superpower was.

This very fact inadvertently revealed the true situation of the other party. How could one hide from investigation without some powerful treasure?

The reason the Talent of Cosmic Favor was exposed was probably because of the uniqueness of the Talent itself.

Moreover, the other party was quite seasoned.

Indeed, in Qin Muye’s eyes, Wang Wei was exceedingly shrewd, far from a greenhorn fresh on the scene. Most people coming from the lawless lands start off as country bumpkins, but not a hint of that could be seen in Wang Wei. The surveillance footage sent back from the Mercenary Camp showed the registration process was handled with polished ease.

This was his slip-up.

Of course, it would never cross Wang Wei’s mind that he was the subject of such scrutiny, especially when even the three great forces had ceased to pay him any attention.

However, were other Lords to discover him, particularly the True Dragon Emperor, they would likely recruit him at any cost. Just his MAX Luck alone would be sufficient reason.

Qin Muye wasn’t familiar with the other two Lords, so he wasn’t in a position to make any judgments there.

The Heavenly Demon God, on the other hand, was like a mad dog, biting anyone he could. It was said that he even had plans to confront Qin Muye in the past, only to be pushed back by the Star Cluster Empire.

In the eyes of the Lords, Qin Muye was 7th level, as, between rumors in the cosmos and “Lord Era,” they would obviously believe “Lord Era.” So in their eyes, although Qin Muye was strong, he definitely wasn’t of the high-ranking S-level, at most an A-level. They attributed his strength to sure be the result of certain treasures or his profession.

The True Dragon Emperor was somewhat more reasonable, but the Heavenly Demon God was not the sort to do good; he was probably contemplating plundering Qin Muye.

But such behavior was tantamount to a death wish in the eyes of the Star Cluster Empire. While the Heavenly Demon God seeking his own demise was of no concern to the Empire, the important thing was that his actions might damage the relationship they had with Qin Muye, and that was the key point.

Therefore, they kept the Heavenly Demon God in check from causing any mischief.

As for the Heavenly Demon God’s claim that Qin Muye was of A-level—well, no one believed that. The S-level Transcendents of the Star Cluster Empire weren’t fools. They had seen Qin Muye and not just once; they could naturally discern his true strength and the terror he represented.

Even when the Heavenly Demon God claimed he and Qin Muye were of the same kin, the people of the Star Cluster Empire looked at him as if he were a fool. The gap between the two was not a matter of carbon-based or silicon-based lifeforms, but of Earth and the Underworld.

Any sensible person could see the difference between them; one was a person, the other akin to Chaos from the Abyss, how could they possibly belong to the same race?

If wearing the skin of a member of the interstellar Human Clan made one the same race, then synthetics could also be considered human, wasn’t it?

Following this, the Star Cluster Empire naturally forbade the Heavenly Demon God from going to the original Blue Song Star Domain, else they would send him on his final journey.

An 8th level versus a 7th level, the Star Cluster Empire obviously knew how to choose.
