Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 9 Purpose

When Nan Fusheng was promoted to "fraud master" before, he digested a lot of the "potion" immediately after taking it because he had played the role in advance.

However, tonight he suddenly digested most of his "potion". The reason he could think of was that this morning, he deliberately let Tang Wulin and the others see what happened. They should be talking about him now.

"A scammer, a scammer, mainly defrauds and fools others, not necessarily to commit fraud or defraud others of their money."

To be honest, this discovery also relieved Nan Fusheng. After all, if he were to defraud others, the process would be slow and take too long if the amount was small. If the amount was too large, he might end up in jail.

This also gave Nan Fusheng a deeper understanding of acting. "Acting" is determined by one's own understanding of the profession, combined with the actor's inner world. Whether it is good or evil depends on the actor, and since everyone's personality is different, every "fraudster" has a different style of behavior.

Just like a "doctor," he can make medicine to save lives or poison to kill, but whether to use it and how to use it depends on himself.

The three pathways of the Mysterious Lord that Nan Fusheng belongs to are "The Fool," "The Gate," and "The Error." The ritual of the first sequence of the "The Fool" pathway is:

Establish a town of Mystic Puppets, designing the unique destiny trajectory for each puppet, allowing them to interact and create a sufficiently realistic tapestry of life, giving rise to corresponding regions in the spirit world. The larger the town, the more puppets, the more detailed the daily routines, the more vivid, realistic, and enduring the different destinies, and the better the effect of the ritual.

However, building this "Mystic Puppet Town" is laborious, time-consuming, and especially the task of "designing the destiny trajectory of each Mystic Puppet," which is equivalent to "building the life trajectory of everyone in the town and playing the role of everyone himself."

However, there is another way to succeed quickly: turn the entire population of a town into "secret puppets." This saves both time and effort. However, it is equivalent to killing everyone in the town.

Which of these two methods to choose is a matter of opinion.

For Nan Fusheng, if so many years of preparation still couldn't overcome the "magic potion," then he would have to try other methods to see if they could be considered fraud.

For example, becoming an "auctioneer" and selling auction items at prices far exceeding their intrinsic value through eloquence and other means is a form of fraud, and it's also legal.

Going directly to defraud others is the last and worst option, since it's not easy to find a fool.

At the same time, the progress of digesting the "potion" also told Nan Fusheng about the special nature of "Tang Wulin" and "Na'er".

That is “Status”, which plays a crucial role in Lord of Mysteries, whether as a source of power, a channel for energy supply, or a symbol of authority and influence.

It is essentially a higher form of extraordinary ability that has a permanent effect on the body and soul. For example, certain "potions" may cause permanent changes to the user's body, such as increasing height or changing gender. These side effects caused by potions do not disappear even after the extraordinary ability is lost.

Tang Wulin and Na'er, one has the Golden Dragon King's divine core sealed in his body, and the other is the Silver Dragon King himself. Even though they have now transformed into human form, their status will not change.

As for Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon King's divine core seems to be considered part of him as well.

"At the current pace, my 'potion' should be fully digested in the next few days."

Nan Fusheng wasn't too surprised by the speed at which the potion was digested; in fact, he thought it was a bit slow.

To give an analogy, Nan Fusheng is also a thief. The concept of stealing a dollar from an ordinary person is completely different from stealing a dollar from a god.

"Perhaps it's because Tang Wulin hasn't broken the seal on the Golden Dragon King yet, or perhaps the concepts of the two worlds are somewhat different. After all, the 'Lord of Mysteries' world leans more towards the 'Cthulhu' theme."

Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, Nan Fusheng was not too disappointed.

However, this also convinced him of the importance of building a good relationship with Tang Wulin.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will probably be following Tang Wulin for a long time. At the same time, this is also a prelude to "stealing" the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King in the future.

In the adult world, there are no emotions, only interests. For Nan Fusheng, the "Golden Dragon King bloodline" may not be necessary, but he still likes to leave a foreshadowing, just in case it comes in handy in the future.

However, at this stage, Nan Fusheng's main focus is still on maintaining a good relationship with Tang Wulin. After all, although Tang Hao and Ah Yin are guarding against the Abyss invasion, they are not incapable of taking action in the Douluo Continent.

Putting everything else aside, when Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin first encountered "Na'er" that day, even though it was only for a moment, Nan Fusheng suddenly felt a pang of fear in his heart.

At first, he thought it was an illusion, but in retrospect, it was probably a warning from "Source Castle" or his own spirituality.

The encounter between Tang Wulin and Na'er was definitely orchestrated by either of them or Tang San.

After all, the Silver Dragon King had just taken human form when an accident happened, he just happened to be stranded outside, and he just happened to be encountered by these thugs when he was almost captured.

Something just doesn't make sense. Di Tian and the others went there, and it took them three years to find them.

At least when Tang Wulin met Na'er, Tang Hao and his wife, Ah Yin, were definitely paying attention. If he had dared to intercept her back then, their Tang family's "daughter-in-law" would probably have been hit by a soul-guided car while walking, or encountered an evil soul master and been shot dead.

Besides these, there are also the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python.

In any case, he will not make a move against Tang Wulin until he reaches "Sequence Two" or can freely borrow the abilities of Sequence Two without paying too much price.

The Thief's Sequence Zero, Sequence Two "Fate Trojan Horse" in the "Error" Path, also known as the "Fate Thief," can manipulate the fate of others, causing them to make certain mistakes within a certain period of time; this is considered exploiting loopholes in fate.

Simply put, it means being able to steal someone else's fate and take their place, turning them into someone without destiny, severing all ties with the real world, and slowly dying—this is the true meaning of "social death."

With this ability, he could even try to obtain some of Tang Wulin's future "opportunities." Small opportunities were fine, but he couldn't let go of the big ones.

For example, if Tang Wulin is drugged with an aphrodisiac in the future, Gu Yuena might use a "Fate Stealing" move to help him. The scene would be... tsk tsk.
