Description
Wang Ming, often simply referred to as Ming, is the older cousin of the protagonist Wang Ling in The Daily Life of the Immortal King. He is characterized as a super-genius who works with the government and other clandestine organizations on highly sensitive and secretive projects. His primary motivation appears to be supporting his family and using his intellect to manage the dangers associated with his cousin's overwhelming power. Wang Ming is notably fond of pretending to be a fake cultivator, despite lacking any real talent for cultivation himself. This pretense is reflected in his official identification, which he fills with an amalgamation of exaggerated elements taken from cultivation novels, suggesting a playful and somewhat theatrical personality beneath his serious work. Within the story, Wang Ming plays a crucial technical and logistical role. He is the creator of the talismans used to suppress Wang Ling's immense spiritual energy, and he also discovered the anti-Wang Ling substance that allowed for an upgrade to this seal. His work is essential for maintaining Wang Ling's ability to live a normal life. His key relationship is with his cousin Wang Ling, whom he aids through his scientific and bureaucratic expertise, helping to keep Wang Ling's true power hidden and manageable. Unlike many other characters who interact with Wang Ling through school or combat, Wang Ming operates in the background as a family member and an adult figure who understands the true scale of the situation. His development is tied to his continuous efforts to improve the containment methods for Wang Ling's power and to navigate the complex politics of the cultivation world his cousin inadvertently affects. A notable ability of Wang Ming is his exceptional intellect, which he applies to reverse-engineering and creating talismans and substances specifically designed to counteract supernatural forces. He is the one responsible for the anti-Wang Ling substance, a unique creation that highlights his specialized knowledge and his role as a behind-the-scenes problem solver.
