Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

Murong Xue affirmed Lingling's inference and continued, "Zhang Liang's wisdom is deeply rooted in his body and mind. Instead of showing off in front of him, it is better to sow discord directly and obtain information from the traitor."

"People's thinking is lazy. Before there is an obviously feasible solution, people will hardly choose a more complicated solution with more variables."

That’s the explanation.

Zhang Liang and Lingling suddenly understood what Murong Xue meant by "close their minds".

(Wow...this person is amazing...)

Lingling couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"In order to execute such a plan, two steps are needed. First, we need to choose someone to play the role of a self-torture stratagem. This person is not a good person..."

"The selection is fine."

Before Murong Xue finished her words, the figure of a certain person had already emerged in Zhang Liang's mind, and he even felt that this plan was tailor-made for her.

It feels quite outrageous.

"What's next?"

"Well···"

Seeing Zhang Liang so confident, Murong Xue planned to ask about the man's identity later and decided to explain the second step first.

"I suggest that Xi Lan not participate in the competition tomorrow, so that Heng Yu and Ying can fully demonstrate their strength."

After several days of training, Ying and Hengxu's strength has increased greatly, and is now no longer at a level that Xilan can handle.

In order to prevent the opponent from discovering our weaknesses, tomorrow's battle should be as exaggerated as possible, and the louder the movement, the better. The main goal is to make it impossible for the opponent to understand and find our weaknesses.

Xi Lan slept for so many days and did nothing, so her current strength is definitely not up to par.

She could only settle for the next best thing, and continuing to remain mysterious was her best option at the moment.

"Well, actually I can..."

"Ding~Ding~"

Just as Lingling was about to say something, the doorbell of the suite suddenly rang, interrupting her speech.

## Chapter 3: Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it! (1?)

"Master Zhang Liang, your..."

As soon as Zhang Liang opened the door, Cai Tian couldn't wait to take out a gift box and handed it to Zhang Liang.

but.

Seeing Murong Xue in the living room, Cai Tian did not tell anyone what was in the gift box to avoid unnecessary leakage of information.

"Let's come in and talk."

It would be impolite for a prince of a country to talk to him in public in front of the door, so Zhang Liang planned to invite Cai Tian in.

however.

Cai Tian glanced at Murong Xue inside and shook his head, saying, "I see you guys are busy, so I won't disturb you for now."

After several days of investigation, Cai Tian found out the identity of the president of the Holy Spirit College Student Union. She was Murong Xue sitting inside.

Since Murong Xue can decide the contestants for this competition, Cai Tian plans to contact Murong Xue and wants to participate in the competition as a Holy Spirit student.

If he had such an identity, Cai Tian would be able to use it to move more freely in the Magic Dynasty.

but···

In order to find out Murong Xue's position, Cai Tian asked his bodyguards to conduct an in-depth investigation on her. The result was... they encountered obstacles everywhere and did not find any useful information.

With his position unclear, Cai Tian, ​​who was burdened with the responsibility of saving the country, did not dare to have too much contact with Murong Xue.

She is dangerous.

Seeing that Zhang Liang and Murong Xue were in close communication, Cai Tian planned to talk to Zhang Liang alone tomorrow to find out more about Murong Xue's background first.

Zhang Liang saw that Cai Tian had no intention of coming in, so he didn't force him to come in, so he asked directly: "How is the work going? Did you add the instructions I mentioned?"

The "instructions" Zhang Liang mentioned were the restrictive instructions he had been pondering over.

The purpose is not to interfere too much with Lingling's behavior. Under this premise, fate can also be restrained and controlled.

Hearing Zhang Liang's question, Cai Tian moved his eyes to the gift box and said confidently: "It's perfect, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Yeah?"

Zhang Liang was very satisfied with Cai Tian’s answer. He took the gift box, opened it, and was instantly stunned by the items inside.

(Is this made of metal?)

When Zhang Liang saw the jade-white collar, he was immediately amazed by its exquisite workmanship.

Rather than being made of metal, this collar looks more like polished jade, and it shines brightly under the light of the corridor.

"Are you sure this is made of tungsten?"

"That's right."

Recalling the scene when this metal was born, Cai Tian explained: "After fusion of tungsten steel, magic-repelling steel scales, and brilliant dragon core using high temperature and other processes, it was tempered with the blood of the bull and horse gods, and the result was this. After testing, it has not only the functions you want, but also a huge magic storage capacity and magic saving capacity."

"Storing and saving magic?"

"That is, it can store 30 mana, and when casting magic, the magic consumption will be reduced by 70%."

"Consumption reduced by 70%!?"

Even Zhang Liang was shocked when he heard this number and was very curious about how it was done.

Perhaps seeing Zhang Liang's confusion, Cai Tian continued to explain: "When using magic, the released magic power will generally be lost in space. After using the magic repelling steel scales, the originally lost magic power will be locked, and then using Duan Cao's original magic power return technology, the magic power will be returned to the collar for storage."

"That's amazing..."

Zhang Liang never expected that there would be such an unexpected gain.

"That's right."

At this time, Cai Tian was worried that Zhang Liang would not be able to use the slave collar. After glancing at Murong Xue, he whispered to Zhang Liang: "After putting on the collar, you need to use your magic power to activate it. Only then can it be considered as a successful master. Don't let others get there first."

"Understood."

After conveying the key issues, Cai Tian talked about Ying's instructions: "Ms. Ying said that you should look forward to her performance tomorrow."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang suddenly became excited and asked in a second: "Her prosthetic limb... could it be..."

"Yes, both the prosthetic limbs and the cluster gun have been successfully developed. She is currently conducting actual combat tests with Miss Bai, and the results are very exaggerated."

"It actually came true..." Zhang Liang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Liang thought it was so cool to think that Ying could fight like Iron Man!

Who would have thought that Ying is a milk magician.

If all the crises were overcome, Zhang Liang decided to get himself one.

"Master Zhang Liang, if you have nothing else to say... I won't bother you for now..."

Seeing that Cai Tian looked like he wanted to leave, Zhang Liang didn't keep him any longer.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"fine."

After a polite gesture, Cai Tian turned and left.

······

Cai Tian left completely, and just when Zhang Liang was about to close the door, Murong Xue came behind Zhang Liang.

"Zhang Liang, you should understand why Xi Lan was not allowed to participate in the competition, right?"

"clear."

When Murong Xue told her plan, Zhang Liang had already guessed her intention.

Tomorrow's competition is more like an arms demonstration than a selection of vice-captains, used to deter potential threats.

In other words.

The bigger the battle, the better, and the louder the noise, the better.

If Lingling also participated...she would obviously not be able to keep up with them after losing 9% of her strength.

and.

Lingling is also the child of destiny, the so-called protagonist. If she is targeted by the international government when she loses her power, her life will be threatened.

Hiding her is the best option.

Murong Xue knew that Zhang Liang was very smart. Seeing Zhang Liang's serious expression, she knew that even if she didn't explain much to Zhang Liang, he would understand.

Thinking of this, she stepped out of the door, glanced in the direction where Cai Tian left, and said to Zhang Liang: "I have something else to talk to him about, so I'll leave first."

Recently.

Cai Tian has been investigating Murong Xue. Although he has not found anything, Murong Xue has uncovered everything about him.

Murong Xue thought that Cai Tian was useful and planned to talk to him alone.

"OK."

Although Murong Xue did not say what the purpose of the self-torture stratagem was, Zhang Liang could guess what Murong Xue was planning to do.

In addition to inducing the other party's behavior, you can also provide them with false information to play a Mission Impossible game.

Subsequently.

Murong Xue left the suite in the direction Cai Tian left.

······

Close the door.

Zhang Liang sat on the sofa, looking at Lingling opposite him seriously, explaining to her why he would not let her participate in the competition.

"As long as I'm here, the international government shouldn't find out that you're the child of destiny. However, tomorrow's competition is still too far-fetched for you. If you reveal your weaknesses, you'll most likely be targeted."

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Lingling did not feel that Zhang Liang was looking down on her, but instead felt a warmth of being protected.

It feels really good to be protected.

but···

Facing the situation, Lingling was not stupid and said, "If Ying and the others show strong strength and the other party can't attack them, then I am the only one who didn't attack, so won't I become the target of the other party?"

after all.

Those who did not take action are either the strongest or the weakest, and Lingling's situation would obviously be regarded as the latter.

"That being said..." Zhang Liang clenched his fists in worry and said seriously: "It is better to keep it secret than to expose your weaknesses. For your safety, I will pay special attention to it. Don't worry."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Lingling seemed to recall something sad, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore. She said: "If that's the case... then am I still holding you back..."

Lingling knew clearly that if she did not do anything, she would become Zhang Liang's weak spot, continue to make him worry, and even affect his judgment.

"Do not!"

Zhang Liang's expression suddenly became very serious. He looked at her firmly and assured her, "It is my responsibility to ensure your safety!"

For Zhang Liang, Lingling had come here for him, and her efforts made Zhang Liang unable to repay her, but at least... he had to ensure her safety...

For Lingling, Zhang Liang lost two lives for her. Lingling believed from the bottom of her heart that she was ashamed of Zhang Liang and that she owed Zhang Liang a debt that could never be repaid.

The third life.

Lingling didn't want Zhang Liang's protection anymore, and didn't want him to suffer anymore, so she practiced hard day and night in her dreams.

Lingling has made up her mind.

this time!

She is the protagonist!

She will be the one to protect Zhang Liang!

In order to prove her ability, in order not to make Zhang Liang worry, and in order to allow everyone to fully fight the enemy, Lingling decided to show her current strength tomorrow!

but.
