Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hidden City Emerges



Even if Gu Mu and Shen Ling really do get married, the male protagonists in female-oriented novels are all... who love beauty more than power, believe that the female protagonist is the most important person in the world, and even if they become emperors, they will never have three thousand concubines. Even if the court officials protest, they will remain steadfast and only be with the female protagonist for life.

Moreover, the male protagonists in female-oriented novels are generally just tools to serve the female protagonists.

It's as if he conquered the world just to protect the female lead, who had several devoted male leads... yet he remained devoted only to her.

Of course, if they don't follow this route, and after finally marrying the female lead, they still insist on having multiple wives and concubines...

That would probably just become background scenery for palace intrigue.

He met the tragically killed old emperor in his next scene.

This is similar to the female protagonist in male-oriented novels. Even if the male protagonist has all sorts of female confidantes and cute little sisters, the female protagonist will still be infatuated with the male protagonist.

...Different audiences cannot have equal status.

so,

Gu Mu hadn't considered these routes.

In female-oriented novels, he's inherently at a disadvantage!

His only way out is to become a male-oriented novel!

Look at the protagonists in male-oriented novels, aren't they all chosen ones? But he, as the villain in female-oriented novels, is surrounded by the malice of the world.

If he could make the female lead cry with a single punch, even luck wouldn't be able to protect her (just a thought).

If his kick can make the whole world tremble, then the victor is justice.

It's like the saying: "He who steals a hook is punished, but he who steals a country becomes a prince."

When the whole world knows he's a villain, but can't get rid of him...

Who dares to say he's not a main character?

After all... the villains can be killed, and the one who survives to the end is the protagonist.

Even if I transmigrated into a female-oriented novel,

Gu Mu's thinking must not go astray.

The protagonist of male-oriented novels constantly upgrades and improves his strength, eventually dominating the world.

Even though he's switched to the wrong channel, he still needs to learn from the experiences of the predecessors who switched to the male-oriented channel, improve his own strength, and eventually dominate the world.

Although he switched to the wrong channel, the process might be a bit tough.

But... what if he goes astray...

I guess I'll really stay in the female-oriented fiction genre and never be able to go back to the male-oriented genre.

strength,

That's the only way.

However, Gu Mu noticed that the female lead's true love "male lead" has not yet appeared, which means that this is very likely a female-led revenge story without a romantic partner.

The female protagonist is single-mindedly focused on revenge.

She had no interest in dating; all she could think about was how to torment Gu Mu…

So, how to deal with the female lead...

If Gu Mu can make the female lead feel that "although you want to torture me and kill me, there are plenty of other people who want to kill me," then the female lead will definitely not want Gu Mu to die so easily.

After all, once you're dead, you'll never know anything again. If Gu Mu's death is too easy, how can the female lead let go of her obsession?

...If Gu Mu gives the female lead a misconception,

He was in danger at all times.

So, the female lead will torment him, leaving him in constant danger of being killed by the enemy, until the torment ends without any real consequence.

Before she fulfills the flag she set, she'll deal with those who want to kill Gu Mu first.

"That's interesting." Gu Mu looked at his right hand, which had just melted the door, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"If you want me to suffer a fate worse than death, you have to kill those who want me dead directly."

"Your Highness, sometimes being too obsessed isn't a good thing..."

Gu Mu chuckled softly.

He has a hidden city.

Once Hidden City starts building momentum...

If the female lead knew that the mysterious Lord of the Hidden City, who gathers many heroes and powerful figures, wanted to kill the Regent.

Will the female lead feel a sense of crisis?

He'd really like to try it out...

Gu Mu's eyes gradually hardened. A female-oriented novel? The malice of the world?

I'd like to see……

Who trampled whom underfoot?

Standing above thousands and possessing a system, Gu Mu had his own pride.

My fate is in my own hands.

It's not up to fate.

Even if this world is full of demons and monsters, he is still not an ordinary person.

Gu Mu pushed open the door. After completing the marrow cleansing, his temperament had also changed somewhat.

Somewhat otherworldly.

Although his murderous aura remained undiminished,

But standing there, it immediately becomes the focus of people's attention.

“The general’s family has been replaced,” Gu Mu said coldly.

Those maids who hadn't witnessed Gu Mu's hand piercing through the door frame simply stared at the dark hole in the door with confusion and nodded bewilderedly.

Then they hurriedly removed the door.

The door to Gu Mu's room had just been removed.

A message suddenly appeared in Hidden City.

"Someone has been detected with an entry permit. Allow them to enter? Yes/No"

Hidden City is like a management simulation game on a modern mobile phone.

However, it exists in reality.

The authority over Hidden City is absolutely in Gu Mu's hands.

Gu Mu has the freedom to operate the business.

The order to enter the city was designed by Gu Mu, intended as bait to restrain the imperial court from the influence of the martial arts world.

It's like Gu Mu set a rule for entering the city: you need an entry permit and Gu Mu's permission to enter the city.

Thus, this instruction became the rule for entering the city.

As for how the city entry permit came about... just take a piece of bronze and stamp it with the seal of the main city, and that's the city entry permit.

How are the instructions issued...? Write down a set of rules for the hidden city, stamp it with the seal of the main city, and it will take effect.

The chapter exists within the main city, in a room that only Gu Mu can enter.

Only Gu Mu can use it.

All permissions in the main city are valid only upon official stamp.
