"Hmm... are you stunned into silence? I'll give you a chance to organize your thoughts."
Wen Wen didn't even claim to be the protagonist of the era. How shameless could this kid be to claim he was the protagonist of the era upon first meeting someone?
"Listen, I can explain. I believe I am the protagonist with good reasons. Firstly, I'm a high school student, and secondly..."
"Secondly, your grandfather's secondly. Can high school students do whatever they want?"
Wen Wen had no time for nonsense. He snapped his fingers and activated his disaster-related trait.
'Pact of Justice'
Wen Wen had come precisely to test his disaster-related traits.
Newly awakened superhumans were also considered unstable factors. Since this boy had approached Wen Wen, Wen Wen certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
After the trait was activated, a book, visible only to Wen Wen, appeared above the boy's head.
The cover of the book displayed three pieces of information: the boy's name, age, and abilities.
Name: Zhu Jiao
Age: 16 years old
Ability: Protagonist Halo!
Wen Wen stroked his chin and exclaimed in surprise, "So this is how my disaster-related trait manifests when used. It's somewhat similar to 'Scout Skill' in games."
"But this kid's name is actually 'Zhu Jiao', and his ability is 'Protagonist Halo'... Now I understand where his inexplicable confidence comes from."
The pages of the book turned, revealing the 'promises' Zhu Jiao had made from childhood to the present.
Zhu Jiao had forgotten most of these promises, but Wen Wen's disaster-related trait could reveal them one by one.
Many of the punishments for these vows were too severe. Wen Wen didn't want to kill him, so he carefully selected a vow with a lighter penalty.
Wen Wen smiled strangely at Zhu Jiao, "Last June, you told your sister that if you didn't get first place in the entire class, you'd shave your head bald."
"How did you know that?"
A chill suddenly ran down Zhu Jiao's spine. Did this man in a white coat have telepathy?
Was it perhaps inappropriate to choose him as his rookie mentor?
Wen Wen smiled mysteriously, "It doesn't matter how I know. What matters is... you broke your promise!"
An invisible razor suddenly appeared above Zhu Jiao's head, shaving off his hair strand by strand.
Zhu Jiao clutched his head in terror, unable to stop his scalp from gradually becoming smooth.
"No! My hair, I..."
To maintain his stylish and handsome hairstyle, Zhu Jiao had put in countless efforts.
He had outsmarted teachers, argued with his family, and saved money for haircuts. Now, he had suddenly become bald. How would he be able to show off to girls in the future?
Seeing Zhu Jiao's despair, Wen Wen nodded in satisfaction.
This disaster-related trait pleased him greatly. Effects like 'Heavenly Thunder Strike' should also be achievable with ease. However, Wen Wen found testing 'Heavenly Thunder Strike' rather boring.
So, he winked and said to Zhu Jiao, "Sincerely swear to me, if you blink in the next hour, you will grow one centimeter taller."
Zhu Jiao, who was still lamenting his hair, didn't understand what Wen Wen wanted. But he didn't want any more of his body hair to be shaved off.
So, he simply made a vow to Wen Wen as instructed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Wen produced a small spray bottle filled with chili water.
*Pfft...*
The chili spray hit Zhu Jiao's eyes, making him cry out, "Waaa!" The vow not to blink was naturally broken.
Wen Wen activated his disaster-related trait again and watched as Zhu Jiao's body made creaking sounds, and then his height increased by one centimeter out of thin air. Sudan Fiction Network.
"Indeed, this ability can not only be used to punish others but also to achieve desired effects."
Then Wen Wen said to Zhu Jiao, "If I crouch down in the next ten minutes, I will become invincible in the world."
Afterward, Wen Wen immediately crouched down. A furious surge of power erupted from within him, giving him a feeling of invincibility.
However, in less than a tenth of a second, Wen Wen quickly stopped this ability.
This near-invincible effect came at the cost of burning his own power. In that fraction of a second, the energy within Wen Wen had halved.
Moreover, it was a mere illusion, a showy display that couldn't actually be used.
"It seems this disaster-related trait also has its limitations. It can't do everything, and the achievable effects appear to be related to my strength."
"Despite these limitations, it should still be possible to make oneself 'out of reach,' I'll try it sometime."
Zhu Jiao's body felt a slight pain. Growing one centimeter taller so suddenly caused him significant discomfort.
Then he saw Wen Wen look at him kindly again, "Now, I want to talk to you about your ability. What exactly does this 'Protagonist Halo' do?"
The name of the ability, 'Protagonist Halo,' greatly piqued Wen Wen's interest. Could this ability truly help him become the 'protagonist of the era'?
Zhu Jiao sensed that Wen Wen was not entirely friendly towards him and that his strength was unfathomable, almost omnipotent. Therefore, he dared not disobey any of Wen Wen's requests.
"My ability is..."
As soon as he spoke, a shrill cry echoed.
Zhu Jiao's dream goddess, the grinning school beauty, broke free from her struggle with the chameleon and lunged towards Zhu Jiao to attack him.
On the other side, the chameleon hadn't given up either. It concealed its form and crept behind the two, its tough tongue ready to flick out at any moment.
With his advancement to the True Sequence realm, Wen Wen's stealth abilities had greatly improved. Unless he intentionally channeled his power, these low-level monsters and superhumans couldn't detect his strength.
"Hmph... disturbing my enjoyment."
Wen Wen casually extended his hand towards the school beauty, and streaks of black iron bars emerged from the ground. The school beauty leaped up, trying to escape the area, but black bars appeared from the sky, directly knocking her back.
These bars eventually formed a ten-by-ten-meter prison, with chains extending in all directions, binding the grinning school beauty in a spread-eagle posture.
The giant chameleon also flicked its tongue towards Wen Wen.
The tongue was the chameleon's strongest weapon. It could be flicked out at extreme speed, wrapping around prey and drawing it into its mouth. Its tongue was also covered in fine barbs and venom. As long as one was injured by these barbs, they would essentially become its prey.
Wen Wen didn't even turn his head, merely twitching his shoulder. An arrow-like force shot backward, piercing the chameleon's tongue, entering through its forehead, and exiting through its back skull.
The chameleon's massive body fell to the ground, twitching a few times before losing its life.
Testing 'Grasping Hand' was sufficient with this grinning school beauty. This chameleon was insignificant to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen seemed to recall hearing somewhere that the skin of invisible monsters could be used to craft invisibility-related items. He would skin this chameleon later and let Red Beard try it out.
