World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others - Chapter 80: Simulation
“How did SS die?” Gao Ming asked as he got up from the ground.
“I used the explosive seed to lure him, led him to chase after Wang San, and then took the opportunity to harvest Mr. Zhao and Qiao Pingjiang. I used the surge in attributes to split him in half from behind,” Du Ge explained concisely.
“What the hell! Feng Qi, it was really you!” Gao Ming exclaimed in shock.
“No doubt about it,” Du Ge nodded.
“You bastard, you ruined my simulation career,” Gao Ming shouted angrily, rushing towards Du Ge and grabbing his neck, shaking him back and forth. “Was it easy for us? We’ve been eating synthesized food for eighteen years, and finally had the chance to enjoy the simulation field for a few days. But as soon as we entered, you kicked us out, return my simulation field…”
“Stop it,” Du Ge pushed away Gao Ming’s hand. “I didn’t expect it to escalate that much either. I was forced to do it. I was ambushed right from the start, without even the host’s memories. If I didn’t make a big move, I would have been eliminated. What else could I have done?”
“So, you became the first in the simulation field?” Gao Ming gritted his teeth.
“Wasn’t it because there was no other way to end it?” Du Ge sat back at the desk, pretending to be casual. He took out a book called “History of the Qi Yuan Star Civilization” from the bookshelf. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face the tiger.”
He propped his cheek with his hand and glanced at Gao Ming, flipping through the pages of the book one by one, acting like an anxious person, randomly flipping through the book to ease the tension.
But his mind was actually absorbing the information from the book at a glance.
At this moment, Du Ge realized that his mental power seemed to have come out as well, processing information at a rapid speed.
Gao Ming didn’t think there was anything wrong with Du Ge and stared at him intently. “How come I didn’t realize you had this ability before? Are you one of those geniuses who hide their talents and only show them when faced with challenges?”
“I think so,” Du Ge nodded seriously.
“Hmph, a genius who got lucky,” Gao Ming spat fiercely. “Return my simulation field…”
“Stop it,” Du Ge straightened his body and brought the book to the front. “I also think I got lucky. I came all the way here, thinking that whether I succeed or fail, I have to make a big impact. I didn’t expect to become the first so easily. But you should think about how to explain it to the tiger for me! What if he has high expectations for me and the next simulation field exposes me? That would be embarrassing.”
Du Ge didn’t understand what the teacher meant, so he had to extract some information from his simple-minded roommate first and see how the school would react to him being the first.
The conversation with Gao Ming was actually a rehearsal before meeting the teacher, to prevent any slip-ups.
“There’s nothing embarrassing about it. It’s just a simulation field. The public schools have had simulation field champions before,” Gao Ming said. “With one million examinees and over three thousand examination rooms every year, can the elite academies monopolize the first place? Then why bother competing? We should just go to sleep early and work in the factories.”
He sighed and looked at Du Ge with regret. “The difficult part is the graduation assessment! You lucky dog, why did you use up your luck at this time? It would have been great to get another first place in the graduation assessment and upgrade to a warrior. Then, even I could benefit from your success and follow you up…”
One million examinees, over three thousand examination rooms.
Du Ge collected another crucial piece of information and breathed a sigh of relief. If there were so many examination rooms conducting exams simultaneously, his first place wouldn’t be so noticeable.
It was like a mediocre student accidentally getting the first place in the final exam of the first year of high school in the whole city.
Besides parents and the school, who would care about who you are?
Maybe even classmates wouldn’t care, at most discussing it for a few days.
However, with ten million examinees in the same year, counting back from eighteen years old, this country must have a population of at least one billion. There were quite a lot of people!
Why did they still have to eat synthesized food?
“Who said I won’t be able to get the first place in the future!” Du Ge thought of the personal information and neatly written notes on the front page of his notebook, and smiled. “Someone who pays attention to regular grades before an assessment must be someone with a strong desire to succeed. High Ming, if I can get the first place once, I can keep getting it. Luck can be used up, but the experience of success is mine! It’s something you can’t reach, High Ming. Just wait for me to soar and hold onto my thigh!”
Repeating each other’s keywords during the conversation could quickly eliminate the sense of distance and bring the two sides closer psychologically. Du Ge skillfully used social skills.
“Get lost,” Gao Ming said. “If even a bastard like you can get the first place, why can’t I? Just wait, maybe three years later, it will be me holding onto your thigh!” He smirked, gloating. “But, you probably won’t have any good luck these days.””What’s wrong?” Du Ge asked.
At this moment.
Du Ge found the chapter titled “Alien Civilization Invasion” in the directory, a special section.
On the directory, the original Du Ge had written the word “shame” with a pen.
Du Ge glanced at the page number, continued to flip through the book with divided attention, and was stunned when he saw the content. He suddenly understood what everyone had been referring to as the Alien Star Battlefield?
“Still playing dumb.” Gao Ming crossed his arms and chuckled, “You took first place and kicked everyone out of the school. What do you think they will do? Dare you go out and shout, ‘I am Feng Qi’?”
“Even if I said it, no one would believe me!” Du Ge said.
“Damn!” Gao Ming cursed again, “Anyway, when the results are announced, you can’t escape. How could you be the first?”
After quickly scanning the chapter about the invasion of civilization, Du Ge sighed quietly, closed the book, and thought: Poor civilization, it’s completely destroyed!
However, with this background, his Body Possession issue should not be a big problem.
Du Ge smiled, stood up, and asked: “Shall we go, Gao Ming? The tiger is still waiting for me!”
“What’s the rush? We just came out of the assessment field, can’t we catch our breath?” Gao Ming complained, “Old Du, tell me more about the Simulation Field, are your Keywords really ‘Maintenance’?”
“Let’s discuss it with the tiger, it’s tiring to repeat it twice.” Du Ge said.
“Holy shit, you’re showing off!” Gao Ming widened his eyes, “You bastard, you got first place and now you’re not yourself anymore!”
“Let’s go, we share a dormitory, I can’t run away.” Du Ge smiled, “By the way, tell me about you, what’s your advanced skill?”
“It’s ‘Angry God’.” Gao Ming said, “Facing those who offend me, all my attributes will increase exponentially. The more severe the offense, the higher the increase.”
“How did such a trash skill come out?” Du Ge asked in surprise.
“Who knows, I don’t control the advanced skills…” Gao Ming grumbled, then asked, “Are your Keywords really ‘Maintenance’?”
“Yes!” Du Ge nodded.
“How can you use a support-type Keyword so violently?” Gao Ming asked, “Especially your move to stab people from behind, how is that related to ‘Maintenance’?”
“Who knows, maybe it’s a BUG!” Du Ge said.
“You’re joking. The simulator is provided by the Pan-Universe Entertainment Company. Their technology is at least eight dimensions ahead of us. If you have a BUG, I don’t believe the simulator would have a BUG.” Gao Ming gave Du Ge a look, “Come on, what are your Keywords really?”
Du Ge chuckled: “I won’t tell you, we’ll discuss it with the tiger…”
