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

"Is Brother Hu really unable to play?"

"It should be true. Otherwise, why would he say such a big speech? I guess the supplies are running low, and he wants to unite everyone to find food together. Like he said, when people are starving, they will do anything."

"But he said he would lead the charge..."

"If he doesn't lead, do you believe that anyone else will? Without this group of people, he wouldn't survive in this chaotic world either. He has no choice but to come out and win people's hearts. But no matter what, being able to say these words, he is still someone."

"I actually think what he said makes sense. Without him overseeing things, this group of people would have fallen into chaos a long time ago."

"Let's wait and see. We don't know how things will develop in the end. We don't want this one to become a warlord and force others to serve him..."

...

Du Ge's attributes in this world didn't increase much.

Hearing their discussion, Du Ge couldn't hear it clearly, but at this moment, he didn't care.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and Du Ge continued, "What is a company? A company involves buying and selling. Without rules, there is no order. So, from now on, these supplies cannot be given to you for free. You have to buy them from me..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became excited.

The goodwill that Du Ge had just managed to build up disappeared instantly. Those supplies were originally theirs, and now they had to buy them back. This guy was truly despicable!

Bang!

Du Ge drew the machete from his waist and slammed it on the nearby table. With a stern face, he looked at the crowd.

All the discontented voices disappeared in an instant.

Gou Kun and the others realized a bit late, but one by one, they also drew their knives and menacingly pointed them at the people in the garage. The fierce and intimidating aura made the people in the garage retreat in fear. Those with children quickly held them in their arms.

"What are you all doing? Put away your knives. You scared the children," Du Ge shouted, "Didn't you hear what I said? Do you want to be good people from now on? I drew my knife because it was poking my waist. Why did you draw your knives?"

"Brother Hu, we poked our waists too," Gou Kun said with a playful smile.

"In the future, put your knives in a different place. Don't do this anymore," Du Ge glared at him and warned, "Also, call me Chairman."

"Yes, Brother Hu, no, Chairman," Gou Kun put away his knife and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Put away your knives."

After everyone put away their knives, Du Ge looked at the now quiet crowd and nodded in satisfaction, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

It had to be said that having the identity of a villain at the beginning was quite effective.

Otherwise, in this chaotic world, it would be too difficult to do good deeds or engage in trade with the identity of a good person. These people, not to mention listening to you, could even devour you completely.

"Can you buy or not?" Du Ge asked.

No one spoke, they looked at Du Ge, expressing their anger with their eyes.

"I almost forgot, I am a businessman now. Doing business requires mutual agreement," Du Ge rolled up his sleeves, revealing his tattooed arm. He pulled out the knife inserted in the table, then inserted it back, revealing a self-proclaimed friendly smile, "If you don't want to buy, then don't buy. I won't force you."

"How do we buy?"

Someone asked with a mix of sadness and anger.

How could they not buy?

The supplies were all with Du Ge. If they didn't buy, they would starve.

"However you like. Money is useless now. A gold bar can't even buy a steamed bun," Du Ge smiled, "Come over and sing a song, tell a joke, or imitate a dog barking. Give me a blank piece of paper, and you can exchange it for food from me. Even if you come to work for the company and use your future salary to pay, it's not impossible."

"...Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Du Ge to have such a way of doing business. After the previous intimidation and despair, they suddenly felt that this business deal was acceptable.

After all, they didn't lose anything!

"Can everyone do it?" Du Ge smiled, "I established the company not just for fun. These things are all ours, and I consider everyone as shareholders. That's why I treat everyone so well. It's an internal employee benefit! But for outsiders, we can't do the same. If they want to trade with our company, they have to give us real things in exchange.

But rules are rules. The company's things cannot be given away for free. Just like clocking in, signing in, reimbursement, signing documents, everything has to be done properly for us to grow bigger.

So, you should buy what needs to be bought. Consider it a formality and get used to this new process. Is there any problem now!?"

...

"No problem."

"No problem."

...

Everyone looked at each other.

Although they felt that Du Ge's sudden establishment of a company was a bit strange, they reluctantly agreed. They needed to eat after all!"No problem then." Du Ge nodded, turning to Gou Kun, "Manager Gou, once the company officially opens, we'll need to buy and sell supplies and hold a recruitment drive. We don't have enough people in the company to get things done."

"Understood, Chairman." Gou Kun replied.

"You all heard that, right? The newly established Infinite Charity Company is recruiting. If you have any special skills, feel free to apply." Du Ge looked at the crowd, "There are benefits for company employees. If you're not part of the company, even if you're a shareholder, you'll have to buy and sell supplies at the normal rate.

Of course, the dividends that should be given to shareholders won't be lacking. You can rest assured about that. Let Manager Song, also known as Huang Mao, count the number of people later. I'll determine the initial share allocation for you."

A wave of discussion arose again.

But this time, no one raised any objections.

Some smart people had already figured out that Du Ge was re-establishing the organizational structure under the guise of starting a company, forcibly restoring social order, establishing everyone's position in society, mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm, and incidentally establishing his leadership position.

To put it simply, Du Ge had established a temporary government centered around him through a very methodical approach.

……

"A genius!" In the crowd, a man in his sixties looked at Du Ge and couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle Zhang, it's clearly just messing around, where's the genius?" A middle-aged man next to him snorted, "Just a little thug, finding different ways to torment people."

"Could you establish a company in such a short time and have everyone follow your rules?" The old man called Uncle Zhang shook his head, his gaze on Du Ge was full of undisguised admiration.

"I have guns and knives, I could do it too." The middle-aged man retorted.

"That's not something you can achieve with guns and knives." Uncle Zhang chuckled, "Why do you think Qi Feihu is doing all these inexplicable things? He's using the herd mentality to gradually eliminate these people's hostility towards him, and then, subtly making these people accept his rules. Just watch, in a few days, these people will forget about Brother Hu and only remember the chairman of the Infinite Charity Company. Qi Feihu is taming these people."

"Taming?" The middle-aged man was stunned.

"Yes, taming." Uncle Zhang stroked his chin, "When they start recruiting later, this old man might have to apply for an accounting position."

"…" The middle-aged man was deep in thought.

……

"Brother Hu, I can't sing, can I tell a joke instead?" The first person in line to receive food was a man in his thirties. In front of everyone, he blushed and asked in a low voice.

"Call me Chairman." Du Ge corrected him seriously.

"Chairman, can I tell a joke?" The man's voice became even lower.

"You can praise me as a great philanthropist." Du Ge glanced at him and said with a smile.

The man was taken aback, then quickly said, "The Chairman is a great philanthropist."

"Perfect." Du Ge snapped his fingers, "Manager Gou, the deal is done, give him the food."

Gou Kun handed over a bottle of water and a piece of bread.

The man took the food in disbelief and turned to leave.

"The Chairman is a great philanthropist." The second person didn't need Du Ge's reminder and took the initiative to say it, then reached out his hand to Gou Kun.

Du Ge waved his hand, indicating for the transaction to continue.

At this point, his attention was focused on the flashing personal interface.

There should be a derived skill appearing.

Du Ge glanced at Yao Tong behind him and stood up, "Gou Kun, you stay here, I need to take a leak."

"Brother Hu, you can take a break, I can handle this." Gou Kun laughed, "No one can take anything from me for free."

Du Ge turned and left.

Yao Tong watched his retreating figure, frowning.

He felt that Brother Hu's behavior was different from his impression, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. It seemed that everything was done so naturally, as if it was something Brother Hu could do.

Moreover, Brother Hu's change started after he learned of his identity…

Yao Tong shook his head, throwing out the thought that shouldn't have been there. This guy was so fierce, no one should be able to possess his body, right?

……

Turning his back to Yao Tong, Du Ge opened his personal interface:
