"Melanie awakened Mental Ability, and Derek just happened to appear on the road where the monsters were lying in ambush. It seemed my luck in this world was really good."
Thinking of something, Andrew could not help laughing. With a double guarantee, there was no way the monsters could ambush him. That was what it meant to be the protagonist.
"Even heaven and earth lend their strength when the time is right. As the protagonist, everything will go smoothly for me in this world. Of course, I still need to be wary of those outsiders."
Andrew was the protagonist of this world, but those outsiders were variables. They were unaffected by luck, and they had the Great Demon God protecting them. Therefore, it was impossible to defeat them through luck alone.
That was not to say luck was useless. With luck on his side, Andrew would be unstoppable when dealing with the natives—monsters counted as natives too, since they had already become localized.
"Alice, how is the network satellite situation?"
Andrew remembered something and asked Alice. The End Times had brought water and power outages, so ordinary networks could no longer be used. Satellite networks still worked, though they were not as reliable as before.
Alice had begun hacking satellite networks even before the End Times. Once she succeeded, Andrew's intelligence advantage would greatly increase. When they found the others in the future, they could even contact them through satellite phones.
Alice replied, "I've already taken control of the network satellites, but I'm adjusting the algorithms. The original algorithms won't do. I need some time to upgrade them."
"Good. I've been studying this recently and discovered that I can share experience points with you. That way, you can level up too and improve your computing power."
Andrew said. Not just
