Analysis

Liu Bian is one of the many reincarnators from the modern world, who retains his previous life memory. In this life, he was born as the crown prince of the Liu Dynasty with a kingdom building system.

Liu Bian has been in this world for 8 years, and he has acquired a lot of resources by exploiting his status, modern knowledge, and the help of his system. His best strength is his brain and his wits, which enables him to survive in the court without being assassinated. His noteworthy trump cards are his necromancy skill and the shadow element mastery, which is difficult to deal with by using normal means. He has been collecting dead bodies of various experts, secretly forming an undead army.

Liu Bian's plot armors come from the protection of the royal clansmen, his prince status, and his necromancy. Combining with his 8 years of preparation, he isn't someone you can look down upon.

The prince's flaw is the weak cultivation base and his slow progress. As Liu Bian's physical body is still that of a child, he can't cultivate properly until he solves his constitution issues. But be wary of his age. Once he reaches adulthood, he can become a force to reckon with.

Analysis

Ma Moxi was once a professional hitman from the modern world. Upon death, his soul merged with a heavenly treasure from the upper world before he was sent to possess a dead body of the declining Ma Clan's young master.

Ma Moxi's current reputation is currently at rock bottom as the former owner of his body was known as the lecherous good-for-nothing trash of the family. Everybody disdains him, but he uses that to his advantage. Currently, he is secretly cultivating and improving his fragile body, so he can have a chance to turn things around.

Ma Moxi's greatest advantage comes from the treasure pagoda that has merged with his soul. For each layer of the Pagoda room he can open, Ma Moxi's strength will improve drastically. With his two starting elemental Qi abilities, his experience as a professional hitman, and Heaven and Earth Escape, he can easily assassinate anyone under the 4th realm. At present, at 16 years of age, his strength is barely at the early bone refining stage, but his real combat potential is comparable to a late 4th-stage master.

In terms of plot armor, Ma Moxi can only rely on his cheat abilities. His foundation and combat skills are already strong to the point that he doesn't have to rely on other stronger seniors to protect him. After all, when Ma Moxi puts his effort into running away from his opponents, nobody can catch him as long as he can use Heaven and Earth Escape technique. Unless his foes can use elemental Qi, he can't be caught. Also, be careful of his woman luck since Ma Moxi is a harem protagonist.

The young master's weakness is his cultivation speed and the lack of protection from overpowered seniors. Since he is still hiding his abilities from his family and his foes, he doesn't have many chances to practice martial arts or cultivate. He can only meditate and cultivate at night when nobody is watching. Ma Moxi is easily beatable as long as one takes enough time to cultivate many types of element Qi and overpower this protagonist with superior firepower.

The two protagonist choices looked intimidating since they had absurd strength and plot armors. Each of them had a unique strong point, but they still had exploitable flaws.

"Cultivation speed, eh?"

Cao Mao understood the theme of the two campaigns. He simply had to overpower these protagonists by increasing his cultivation base and elemental Qi.

However, that wasn't the only tactic to destroy one of them. Cao Mao had an idea that he could sabotage both of them at the same time just by looking at their traits.

Liu Bian was a prince, while Ma Moxi hated the authorities. If Cao Mao played his cards right, he could make these two fight each other.

But the real question was, where were these protagonists? The system didn't show him their present locations.

Since trying to figure where they were at the moment was unproductive, Cao Mao continued to read the details of other main characters.

Analysis

Carl Johnson, known as CJ, was once a gangster from Florida who got transmigrated into this world because of a certain truck accident. This Florida Man had survived in this world for decades with only his gun and explosive knowledge before the Dao God of Wet Banana, Yuan Hua, recruited him as her vessel.

CJ's strength is no joke. His current late 5th-stage power and five elemental abilities come from the blessing of Yuan Hua, and he can get a lot stronger if his life is in peril. Currently, CJ is the only target with a sponsor. Because of the goddess grace, this Florida Man's plot armor power surpasses that of ordinary protagonists. No one under the immortal realm can kill him without support from another sponsor!

This Florida Man has no weakness. Fortunately, he's only a content old man looking forward to his retirement. But if he's provoked, be ready for hell because CJ isn't a pushover that can easily be bullied. In his past life, he used to flip a city upside down to exterminate a group of mafia alone with only guns and grenades. With cultivation power, CJ can take on an army with ease.

However, Carl Johnson is hiding a lot of treasures in his secret stash. If you're up for a challenge, try hunting him for fun!

Analysis

Zhu Qiao is the youngest daughter of Zhu Huifang, a succubus queen overlord of Sky Duck City. At the same time, she's a reincarnator from the modern world.

Zhu Qiao seems like a harmless individual, but she can be a threatening foe if you get on her wrong side. Fortunately, Zhu Qiao seeks a peaceful slow life over working on her cultivation strength since she has already obtained a permanent youthful body. Therefore, she will not proactively look for trouble as long as she isn't offended or forced by her own system.

Zhu Qiao's advantage and core strength is her unique constitution and her racial abilities. Even though she rarely cultivates, her real cultivation strength has already reached the Intermediate Essence Gathering Realm.

Although the Dating and Gacha System are non-combat oriented systems, the rewards Zhu Qiao obtained were all earth-grade, sky-grade, or heaven grade items, giving her a deadly arsenal and dangerous hidden weaponry. There are currently 420 consumable treasures in her spatial rings.

In short, don't mess with her unless you have enough expendable resources.

While it's best not to provoke Zhu Qiao, she has fatal weaknesses. As her dating system constantly nags her to either find a spouse or lose her virginity, she subconsciously searches for the right guy to end the missions once and for all. It's possible to influence her system into making you one of her dating targets and make her your ally.

Note: To make the main character your ally, do not accept the character's hunt campaign, or you'll be forced to kill the person.

Two of the neutral characters were the people Cao Mao knew - One was CJ while the other one was Zhu Qiao. Both of them were revealed as reincarnators, but Zhu Qiao had a dating system, which was harmless. As for CJ, he was minding his own business without caring if he wanted to be a badass immortal or not, so there was no point in hunting such a man.

As for the two antagonists, Cao Mao knew one of them.

Wei Feng showed up on the list as a level 2 difficulty target. His plot armor power was almost non-existence, but he had a strong background and support from the Wei Clan and its allies.

For the last target, Cao Mao wasn't familiar with the detail.

Analysis

Niu Fu is a typical genius young master whose sole purpose is to become a local protagonist's rival. He married one of the daughters of Dong Zhongying, so he has the Dong Clan's support in resources and manpower.

Niu Fu is blessed with a rich family, so his combat advantage is his bodyguards and underlings. Taking him on from the front is like poking a hornet's nest as countless experts from the Dong Clan and Niu Clan will come after the offender.

The obvious weakness of Niu Fu is his own arrogance. As he thinks everyone in his peers is below him, he always looks down on his opponents and rarely displays his 100% potential. Also, because he relies on his protectors too much, Niu Fu lacks fundamental combat experience, making him susceptible to committing mistakes in a stressful fight.

All in all, he is one of the easiest hunt targets. You can also steal a lot of resources from this man.

Cao Mao had a pokerface when he finished rereading all the detail for the nth time. No matter how he tried to flip the system screen, the difficulty of protagonist targets didn't decrease.

Cao Mao wanted to hunt either Wei Feng or Niu Fu, but the system semi-forced his hands. He glanced at his current status and the requirement for the next breakthrough.

Cultivation Rank: 3rd Stage Level 10 (Locked)

Note: Initiating a Protagonist Hunt Campaign Quest to unlock the strength limit.

As always, the system sponsor was a liar. The system said it would give Cao Mao freedom of choice, but it forced him to hunt protagonists if he wanted to get stronger.

"Fucking system. You want me to kill another protagonist that much!?"

Ding

Do you want to live a mediocre life by hunting villains, or do you want to risk it all and become a supreme immortal by hunting protagonists? The final choice is always yours.
