Talent, fortuitous encounters, and wisdom.
To become a protagonist, a character needs all three qualities. Of course, most novels will forgo talent, then intelligence, but if a character doesn't even have a lucky encounter, can such a person still be called a "protagonist"?
Jiang Ran shook his head: "With the conditions you gave, even if the protagonist were to cultivate demonic arts, he probably still wouldn't become the number one person in the world."
"Sigh, that's what's troubling me." He sighed angrily. "So you really can't give me a satisfactory answer? Fine, I don't blame you. You can leave now."
If Jiang Ran were given enough time, he might actually be able to discover some loopholes, but he didn't want to waste too much time on this issue, as it was clearly not something that could be figured out in a short time.
“You just want to write a good enough novel. There’s no need to make the protagonist the number one person in the world.” Jiang Ran started with the novel’s style. “Write about the various deeds of a protagonist with a strong sense of righteousness in the martial arts world. Even if he is not the number one person in the world, his story is enough to be remembered for generations.”
"But if he doesn't become the best in the world, how can he demonstrate his domineering presence as the protagonist? And how can this become a masterpiece?"
Anger's thought process is so peculiar; it seems she believes that only the strongest deserve to be recorded, and that only their stories can become legends.
"The quality of a novel is not necessarily related to the strength of its protagonist. Rather, it is often the protagonists of some bad novels who are capable of destroying the world and being omnipotent."
"Take our country's four great classic novels as an example. Liu Bei failed to unify the Three Kingdoms in the end, Tang Sanzang failed to become the strongest Buddha, Song Jiang failed to even protect his base, and Jia Baoyu failed to become emperor in the end, right?"
"None of them became the best in their field, but their stories are still celebrated by millions. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Perhaps you have a point, but..."
Activate Plan B, the Big Trap, or Plan B for short!
Jiang Ran felt that this was like a debate. He would eventually be able to refute Anger if he gave it time, but given her stubborn nature, it might take much longer.
"Do you understand?"
"but......"
Snap!
"Do you understand?"
"......"
Snap!
"Do you understand?"
"Got it, got it!"
"Tsk tsk, Brother Jiang is still as ruthless as ever."
"I was still thinking about this problem, and you're telling me I've been beaten into submission?"
"Haven't you guys noticed that every time Brother Jiang slaps the opponent's groin, the opponent becomes exceptionally obedient? Could this be his new SSS-level talent?"
After Jiang Ran changed his talent last time, everyone was speculating about what his talent was. Unfortunately, there was no live broadcast of the last world, so no one guessed Jiang Ran's true talent.
"Making someone obey by slapping their big buttocks? What kind of god of war is that? A buttocks warrior?"
After Jiang Ran's "enlightenment," Furious finally decided to change the style of her novel, but if she really waited until she finished writing the novel before going out, it would take forever!
"But if I really absorbed the Heart of Sin, I would go to [Heaven]! How would I continue writing my novel then?"
So, for these "great sins," they didn't disappear, but went to a place called "heaven"? No wonder they didn't resist absorbing the hearts of great sins. But this place probably isn't that great, not something they would actively want to go to.
Um, so it's like moving to a different place? I guess so.
"It's just a change of location, why can't I write anymore?"
"Going to Heaven, we will become a grave sin!"
"ah?"
Aren't you yourselves already guilty of a grave sin?
She was too angry to say anything more, so she started writing again. Judging from her condition, it would be a problem if she could finish it in three months, let alone three days!
Jiang Ran really didn't want to waste any more time with her here.
"Since you're so determined to write a masterpiece, why not take on the challenge of writing the world's most difficult novel?"
"What is the most difficult novel in the world?"
"Super short stories, like stories with only six or eight characters, or even shorter. How about that? Isn't that challenging?"
"Indeed... to tell a complete story in just a few words is incredibly difficult! Okay! I accept the challenge!"
"Alright, alright, let's think about it as we walk. Anyway, it's only a few words, so you don't need to write them down. That's it! Consider the Jade of Great Sin as a consultation fee for all the suggestions I've given you!"
"Huh? There's a consultation fee? Why didn't you say so sooner...?"
Snap!
"You're already being kind by not asking me for money, even if you did, you wouldn't be able to give it to me anyway. Alright, alright, hurry up and go!"
Anger was coaxed and tricked into leaving the room.
"Who am I? Where am I?"
Soon, led by Anger, the three arrived at a room, but Anger seemed a little distracted, clearly thinking about her novel.
"My deepest sins are inside. You can go in and find them yourselves. I won't go looking for them, so as not to disturb my thoughts."
"I'll be waiting for you at the door. Remember to call me when you come out. I guess I'm just here to guide you, right...?"
Anger leaned against the wall, while Jiang Ran and Gwen exchanged a nod and walked into the room together.
The room contained only two immovable chairs facing each other, and nothing else, let alone the Jade of Sin.
The door slammed shut, and Jiang Ran tried to open it, but it was locked tight. Just as Gwen was about to try, another door suddenly opened from the inside of the room, as if it had opened in a different dimension.
"I am [Pig], it's nice to meet you all."
A pig-headed man emerged from the doorway, holding a chess piece in his hand—the very heart of the sin of [Wrath]!
The pig is very hungry, so make sure you have enough food when you meet him!
Is the person in front of me really a pig? Or is it some other zodiac animal in disguise?
Jiang Ran recalled the prompts she had seen when she entered this floor.
There are three different Chinese zodiac animals on this floor!
Dogs only tell the truth!
The tiger will drive away intruders!
The pig is very hungry, so make sure you have enough food when you meet him!
It's obvious that neither the dog nor the tiger can impersonate any other zodiac animal, so what's in front of us is definitely a pig!
Ensure there is enough food? What kind of food?
[Pig] spoke again: "You actually have a contractual anomaly? That's really rare, practically a rarity among you humans. Very well, I'll change my rules of the game for you!"
