World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others-Chapter 478

Du Ge returned with Fan Lie just as Ying Fei was discussing the matter of gathering the Sirius Alien Star warriors with Nalan Li.

Ying Fei expressed that searching one by one was too inefficient, and Nalan Li wholeheartedly agreed.

Du Ge and Fan Lie entered the room.

The conversation abruptly stopped, and all eyes turned to Fan Lie.

Ying Fei and Xin Tianyang had a hint of wariness in their expressions, while Nalan Li remained impassive. Compared to Du Ge, she had no fondness for this deserter.

Fan Lie looked at Nalan Li and chuckled awkwardly, "Captain, deserter Fan Lie requests to rejoin the team. I've newly awakened the skill Gene Mutation. Please record it."

Nalan Li, who had complete trust in Du Ge's strength, opened her mini-computer, recorded the skill's name, and asked, "What's the effect of the skill?"

Fan Lie glanced at Ying Fei and Xin Tianyang and said, "After merging with other life forms, there's a certain chance my genes will mutate."

Nalan Li was taken aback, "Give an example!"

"For instance, if I merge with a cat's genes, I might gain extraordinary jumping ability..." Fan Lie explained honestly, shrugging his shoulders, "But it's only a chance, not a guaranteed awakening..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Du Ge's figure flickered, and he suddenly appeared beside Xin Tianyang, delivering a heavy punch to his abdomen, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

The sudden scene left everyone stunned.

"What are you doing?" Ying Fei's face turned pale.

"Brother Lin, why did you hit me?" Xin Tianyang wiped the blood from his mouth, bewildered and shocked. Du Ge was known for keeping his word, but he was also infamous as a killing god. On his first Alien Star Battlefield, he left only ten people alive.

His notorious reputation was well-known, especially with the recent change in the Alien Star Battlefield rules. Anything could happen. What if he went out and realized Ying Fei's skill was uncontrollable and changed his mind?

However.

Xin Tianyang retained some rationality and didn't dare expose Du Ge's identity in front of Fan Lie, changing his address to Brother Lin, completely unaware that he had already fallen into a skill.

"Nothing much, seeing Fan Lie awaken a skill made me itch to try and see if I could trigger a skill myself. I didn't want to hit a woman, so I had to use you as a test." Du Ge smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Tianyang, it won't happen again."

Trigger a skill?

Who would believe that!

Xin Tianyang took a deep breath, "Then it's fine. Brother Lin, did you trigger a skill?"

"How could a native from Bi Xing like me trigger a skill?" Du Ge looked at him and shook his head, "I was just joking with you earlier, I was simply itching to do something."

"..." Xin Tianyang was stunned, a thousand curses running through his mind. Earlier, he didn't believe Du Ge was trying to trigger a skill, but now he really believed it. A normal person wouldn't be so infuriating.

Fan Lie looked at Du Ge thoughtfully, suspecting that his skill was indeed split, as Du Ge's behavior clearly indicated a severe case of schizophrenia.

"By the way, what were you discussing earlier?" Having dealt with Xin Tianyang, Du Ge returned to normal and asked Nalan Li.

"Ying Fei and I were discussing gathering people from her planet to join the Dark Division." Du Ge's behavior today was a bit odd, but Nalan Li didn't take it seriously. Every Alien Star warrior she met today was peculiar.

"Yes, following the clues one by one is too inefficient." Ying Fei looked at Du Ge and smiled, "Gathering people from the same planet speeds things up, and when people from the same planet work together, there are no worries. Brother Lin, why don't you gather people from Qi Yuan Star too? When people from several planets gather, they balance each other out, making it less likely to cause trouble. A single dominant force can easily lead to problems."

"You go ahead and gather them, I'm just a native, I won't join in the fun." Du Ge waved his hand, "However, you could bet with Fan Lie to see who gathers more people."

"..." Fan Lie looked at Du Ge in astonishment. Letting him bet with someone who clearly had a gambling-related keyword, what was this guy thinking?

"Fan Lie, since Brother Lin suggested it, how about it, want to bet?" Du Ge's suggestion surprised Ying Fei as well, and she smiled at Fan Lie, asking.

For the full version, visit [ ].

"Gambling is harmful to health, I won't participate." Fan Lie chuckled awkwardly, "Actually, I'm quite against fighting and killing. It would be better if a group of people could grow happily together and decide the outcome through competitions. As long as we can live peacefully and joyfully for decades, our lives would be worthwhile."

A gamble, a fusion, do you have to make it so obvious?

Nalan Li glanced at the two of them, and the thought of spending her future with such a group of oddballs made her feel her prospects were bleak. Lin Hong was fine initially, like a normal person, but after more Alien Star warriors appeared, his words and actions became erratic.

What exactly is his keyword?

"Since that's the case, everyone should gather their teammates by their own means!" Du Ge smiled, "But let's agree in advance, whoever gathers people is responsible for restraining them. If anyone causes trouble, I won't be polite."

"Understood."

Fan Lie and Ying Fei said in unison.

However, at this moment, their thoughts were the same. You're being so arrogant, once we gather people from our planet, who knows who will call the shots then.

But Du Ge felt bitter inside, a low-key keyword prevented him from rallying people under Du Ge's name openly, so he could only hope to meet people from Qi Yuan Star soon.

Unexpectedly, after finding five people in a row, he still hadn't encountered anyone from Qi Yuan Star. His luck was truly unmatched.

Du Ge even suspected that Pan-Universal Entertainment was deliberately targeting him again, just like when they assigned him a low-key keyword, during body possession, Pan-Universal Entertainment placed people from Qi Yuan Star as far away from him as possible.

Just like the last Alien Star Battlefield.

He crossed half the world before encountering Feng Zhong and others in the demon realm.

As the number one on the Battle Network, Ten Steps to Kill One didn't expose Du Ge's identity, so naturally, no one from Qi Yuan Star would contact him proactively.

...

Ying Fei, Xin Tianyang, and Fan Lie each logged into the Battle Network to gather their compatriots.

"Lin Hong, why do you keep emphasizing that you're from Bi Xing?" Nalan Li asked, watching the others put on their helmets.

She didn't have the strong energy and recovery ability of the Alien Star warriors. From last night until now, she hadn't rested much, and her eyes were bloodshot, making her look somewhat shaky. She forced herself to stay alert, "No one from Bi Xing has ever called themselves a native. Such a statement makes you seem a bit foolish, like you're trying to cover something up."

"Nalan, that's not the point." Du Ge smiled and asked, "Are you holding up?"

"Still okay." Nalan Li took out a bottle of medicine and popped a pill into her mouth, "To enhance the combat effectiveness of ace pilots on the battlefield, the authorities have energy-boosting drugs with minimal side effects. Taking one when tired works well.

My energy was fine, but being carried around by you shook me to pieces, making me feel exhausted. Don't worry about me, I just want to know what to do next. With two planets recruiting simultaneously, can you handle them? Do you really not need to find people from Qi Yuan Star?"

"Not for now." Du Ge shook his head and asked, "What's the situation with those few who are alone?"

"General Feng should have been recruited by the Third Army Group." Nalan Li said, "Luo Yan is sharing information with them. I suspect that information about you players has already spread among various forces. Either tomorrow or the day after, the Battle Network will open its ports for the forces to query."

"In other words, we don't have much time left." Du Ge smiled.

"No time at all." Nalan Li looked at Du Ge and shook her head, "The players appearing near the Imperial Capital are basically these. Some have been taken by Luo Yan, questioning truth is in Huazhou City, and if we head there, it will take a day by airship. That's the Sixth Army Group's base, and once the Battle Network opens for queries, the Sixth Army Group will likely take him in as quickly as possible."

She paused, "Bi Xing has five continents, and you have only over a thousand players in total. If evenly distributed, each continent has at most two to three hundred people, minus those unwilling to show up. If each force divides them equally, Ying Fei and Fan Lie gathering five people each is already impressive."

"So, you deliberately leaked the information?" Du Ge asked, "After realizing the Masked Hero was uncontrollable, did you intentionally let the forces divide the thousand-plus players, making them more scattered and easier to control?"

Nalan Li was silent for a moment and said, "Perhaps the President considered that. The order I received was to cooperate with you. Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do. The President must have placed most of his bets on you to give such an order."

Du Ge smiled and gestured towards Ying Fei, "With her around, try not to mention gambling or betting in the future, or you might fall for it unknowingly."

"Okay." Nalan Li nodded, "What do we do next?"

"If we can't gather people, what else can we do? Return to the Imperial Capital and let the bullets fly for a while." Du Ge laughed, "With gambling, mirroring, and fusion, the Dark Division's forces are almost complete. I also promised the Academy of Sciences to help them study the Hill Civilization's spaceship. I can't keep avoiding it!"

...

Information from the National Strategic Defense Bureau was spreading.

Xu Wan was summoning people through codes.

Ying Fei and Fan Lie were also summoning people from their planet through codes.

More and more Alien Star warriors were becoming aware that the so-called Battle Network maintenance might be a trap. Those who wanted to hide themselves were even less likely to show up on the Battle Network, while those who were more flamboyant accelerated their growth.

Their keywords included things like manipulation, public opinion, chaos, and incitement.

These people were stirring up trouble on the Battle Network, and rumors were flying everywhere.

"Ten Steps to Kill One" was the most famous among them.

Therefore.

The search for "Ten Steps to Kill One" continued, and compared to "I Am the Sea God" and others, young people were more interested in the genius who improved mechas.

As seed candidates, Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning were overwhelmed, encountering suitors even while walking or eating, not only from within the school but also from outside, severely disrupting their normal routines.

Overwhelmed, the two could only seek help from Principal Tang Houming.

Tang Houming was well aware of Lin Hong's identity. Since it involved the person in question, he didn't dare make decisions on his own. After consulting the President, he provided Du Ge's small training ground to Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning.

Then.

Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning naturally saw the Windwalker that Du Ge had modified in the small training ground, as well as the blueprints he drew during the modification process.

The training ground was for mecha pilots to train, and designers had a dedicated place to modify mechas.

But a complete set of mechanical modification equipment and a Windwalker in the process of modification appeared in the training ground, and the mechas stored in the small training ground were all mentioned in "Ten Steps to Kill One's" paper.

Thinking back to the principal's cautious behavior when assigning them the training ground.

How could the two women not understand what was happening?

The real deal!?

The one modifying the Windwalker in the small training ground was the real "Ten Steps to Kill One."

"Ten Steps to Kill One" was a student at Imperial Capital University, which meant that one of them might be the female lead mentioned by "Ten Steps to Kill One"...

For a moment.

Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning's minds buzzed, and they felt like they were dreaming...

"Qingyan, pinch me." Shen Yuning said dazedly.

Gu Qingyan reached out and pinched her own arm hard, letting out a cry before coming to her senses, "It's real."

"Why don't I feel any pain?" Shen Yuning said.

"Because I pinched myself." Gu Qingyan muttered, suddenly waking up and hugging Shen Yuning, "Xiaoyu, I can't believe it, such a great thing happened to us... 'Ten Steps to Kill One' is our junior..."

"Congratulations, your dream of fighting alongside him can come true." Shen Yuning rolled her eyes at her bestie and said.

"Xiaoyu, don't say that, maybe he likes you!" Gu Qingyan blushed and said.

"My mecha on the Battle Network isn't Windwalker." Shen Yuning pursed her lips and said.

With that one sentence.

Gu Qingyan's face turned even redder, and she stammered, "Maybe it's not him!"

"If it's not him, who else could it be? Seeing how cautious the principal was, he even went on the Battle Network to consult before helping us solve the problem. Who else could make him so careful?" Shen Yuning said sourly, "In the end, the principal arranged for us to be here, isn't it to facilitate this good thing and give you a push from behind!"

"Xiaoyu, who do you think he is?" Gu Qingyan asked.

"Can't we just check the surveillance records?" Shen Yuning glanced at the surveillance cameras in the training ground and said, "No, the surveillance records are with the principal, so you might as well ask him directly."

"Let's go." Gu Qingyan eagerly pulled Shen Yuning, ready to head to the principal's office, but after a few steps, she stopped, feeling hesitant, "Forget it, let's not. What if he doesn't like either of us? How embarrassing!

Besides, the principal didn't make it clear initially, maybe he's not sure who 'Ten Steps to Kill One' likes either? The principal might be verifying... Let's go back to the dormitory, when junior confesses, we'll naturally know who it is!"

"Tch, you go back if you want." Shen Yuning rolled her eyes at her, "Even the principal is giving a push from behind, what are you worried about? Besides, even if junior likes someone else, can't we just step in and win him over?"

"Xiaoyu, you..." Gu Qingyan was stunned.

"Yan, love doesn't follow logic." Shen Yuning said, "When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. Besides, even without love, don't you want to spar with the real 'Ten Steps to Kill One'?"

...

While Gu Qingyan and Shen Yuning, under Tang Houming's push, discovered the secret of "Ten Steps to Kill One" and were discussing how to meet him.

Du Ge, returning with Ying Fei and others, saw his personal interface flicker.

This inexplicable flickering left Du Ge quite puzzled.

What's going on?

He hadn't done anything, so how did he awaken a skill?

Du Ge discreetly opened his personal interface and saw a romantic second skill:

Spring Heart Awakens: Females associated with you will unconsciously be attracted to you, wanting to connect, explore, and develop feelings of admiration for you.

What the hell!

What is this?

How did this skill awaken?

Du Ge instinctively looked at the drowsy Nalan Li beside him and glanced at Ying Fei in the rearview mirror, bewildered. Could it be that one of them had developed feelings for him?

But if they had, there should be some indication! He didn't awaken a skill when he carried Nalan Li around!

In the car, no one even spoke, so how did the skill awaken out of nowhere?

Females associated with him will unconsciously be attracted...

What does "associated" mean?

Damn!

He's a dignified, straightforward man, how did he awaken such a harem skill? It's ridiculous!

The worst part is, the second keyword skill is guaranteed to be carried out.

The first skill only allowed women to fight alongside him on the battlefield, the second skill compensates for this off the battlefield...

But what use is this lousy harem skill, who wants to talk about love off the battlefield?

Can he rely on it to conquer Pan-Universal Entertainment?

Bai Long isn't even a woman!
