World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

In this perilous world, nothing brings a sense of security more than power.

Du Ge's impassioned speech promised everyone a bright future. The employees of the business and marketing departments were all inspired and didn't care about Du Ge's identity as the Heavenly Demon.

In fact, most people would rather have Qi Fei Hu as the Heavenly Demon than the original gangster.

After all, the original Qi Fei Hu only oppressed them and brought them no benefits. In front of Qi Dong, everyone had an equal opportunity. If they performed well, they would naturally gain the favor of the chairman.

Huang Mao and Dog Kun didn't care that the real Brother Hu had passed away. His appearance and demeanor were still there, and he could still bring them power and benefits. That was the real Brother Hu.

Outside the simulation field, every candidate who analyzed Du Ge in depth knew that Du Ge had excellent eloquence and was skilled at swaying people's hearts. Therefore, after this short and persuasive speech, Yao Tong and Bao Benwei quickly confirmed that the person in front of them was Du Ge, not an imposter.

Bao Benwei wanted to retrieve the keywords, while Yao Tong wanted to ride on Du Ge's coattails. They each had their own thoughts.

But at this moment, neither of them was prepared to leave Du Ge's side.

In short, after a battle, Du Ge's Infinite Charity Company became more united than ever before, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.

According to Bao Benwei, the "Garrulous Tongue" skill awakened after he made a sarcastic remark.

On the other hand, Dog Kun persistently mocked others but only improved his personal attributes without awakening any advanced skills. Du Ge deduced that advanced skills should be exclusive to candidates. Even if the natives obtained the keywords, they would not awaken advanced skills, which eliminated his idea of using the natives to brush up on advanced skills.

However, through continuous growth with the keywords, Dog Kun could still become a superhuman.

Du Ge didn't sell the "Garrulous Tongue" to Dog Kun but sold ten points of strength to Huang Mao.

In the personal interface, attributes such as strength and senses were not represented by specific numerical values.

Du Ge had to quantify these virtual things in order to trade them. Otherwise, directly trading with attributes like strength and agility could potentially cripple a person.

Moreover, without understanding these specific numerical values, he couldn't sell these things to others. If he accidentally sold his own strength, he would suffer a great loss.

...

Huang Mao originally held a machete in his hand, but at the moment the trade was completed, his hand suddenly sank, and the machete fell to the ground, almost chopping off his own foot.

He was also frozen in place, trembling and unable to move a step.

Du Ge had no choice but to trade back five points of strength for him to regain his normal walking ability, but he couldn't go far without getting out of breath.

It was like a small horse pulling a big cart. A 1.0 engine couldn't move the eight wheels of a large truck. Five points of strength couldn't drive Huang Mao's weight of nearly 150 pounds.

Before the trade, he could lift over 100 pounds of objects, but after deducting five points of strength, he could only lift over 50 pounds.

Du Ge traded back three points for him.

Huang Mao barely returned to normal and could at least move around without affecting his running and jumping.

Huang Mao was a lazy person who didn't exercise regularly. He relied on a fierce aura to follow Qi Fei Hu, smoking and drinking, and venturing outside. Therefore, his physical strength was only at the level of an average person.

Based on his performance, Du Ge speculated that the strength value of an ordinary adult should be around ten points. Deducting two to three points wouldn't affect normal activities, and with sufficient nutrition in the future, it was highly probable that the strength could be trained back.

However, deducting more than five points at once would render a person useless.

The strength and agility values were equivalent, also around ten points. After deducting five points, the opponent's movements would be as slow as a sloth.

Deducting around two points would only make them appear clumsy, without affecting daily actions.

After the agility and strength obtained through trading were bestowed upon Du Ge, he could clearly feel the improvement in his attributes.

The keywords themselves could enhance attributes, and the strength and agility obtained through trading could also enhance attributes. One was visible, and the other was hidden. Du Ge once again experienced the joy of double improvement.

The dawn of the top ten in the simulation field seemed to be beckoning to Du Ge.

In the end, Huang Mao spent two points of strength and three points of luck to buy the advanced skill "Garrulous Tongue" from Du Ge.

As long as he spoke provocatively, it would make the target annoyed.

Huang Mao, who possessed superpowers, was very excited and provoked everyone in the team. He and Dog Kun exchanged words, almost provoking everyone.

Others were both envious and angry.

But because Du Ge was watching nearby, they dared not speak out. They secretly made up their minds to perform well in front of Qi Dong and beat up these two guys when they had their own power in the future.

They couldn't beat Dog Kun, who had the keywords, and they couldn't beat Huang Mao, who had lost his strength due to his big mouth.

Du Ge observed their expressions and guessed their thoughts but didn't interfere too much. Instead, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Sure enough, everything that heaven bestowed upon you had a hidden price. Huang Mao sold three points of luck to himself and had already embarked on the path of bad luck, but he himself was still unaware.

Heaven, like himself, was also a businessman.

...

In addition to Dog Kun, several other employees were also injured in the battle with the mutant cats and dogs.Du Ge, in a moment of generosity, bought back the keyword "Mockery" that belonged to Gou Kun and temporarily sold it to them for healing purposes.

He earned a point of luck, a point of intuition, a point of hearing, a point of sight, and a point of smell. Everyone in the team quickly regained their vitality.

Although Du Ge claimed these were all normal transactions, those who were injured and then healed were filled with gratitude towards him. Deep down, they truly regarded Qi Dong as a great benefactor.

The things they had lost were too abstract, they couldn't feel it at all.

...

After several transactions and acts of kindness, Du Ge's ranking remained the same, but his attributes had significantly improved.

After all, the attributes gained from transactions were also added to him.

At this rate, Du Ge felt that as long as he conducted a few more large-scale transactions, returning to the state of the previous Simulation Field was just around the corner.

...

The storage center was the territory of cats and dogs.

Naturally, creatures like mice that were their natural enemies wouldn't be there.

With a group of mutant cats and dogs guarding, hardly anyone touched the supplies in the storage center. After killing the cats and dogs, the employees of the business and marketing departments, like sailors who had discovered a pirate's treasure, enthusiastically started the procurement work.

They picked up several vans and trucks in the market, loading large quantities of food, drinks, insecticides, quilts, and other supplies onto the vehicles.

In no time, all the vehicles were filled to the brim, and everyone's faces were beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Like strength, supplies were also the foundation of survival. Strength could only ensure their own survival, but abundant supplies could ensure the survival of their families in this chaotic world.

...

When everyone was about to start the vehicles and send the supplies back to the underground garage, Du Ge issued a new order to find other survival points, expand the business of Infinite Charity Company, first cultivate the combat abilities of the employees, and build an excellent team.

Combat ability meant stronger power and higher agility.

The employees of the business and marketing departments who had already tasted the benefits naturally had no objections. Following the chairman meant having food to eat, not having to pay anything, and having the "Mockery" that could heal injuries by just mocking others, there was basically no danger.

Given this, who wouldn't want to quickly become a superhero in this post-apocalyptic world?
