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

Night fell, Du Ge announced the end of the public trial.

Although the aggrieved people who did not receive the money had regrets, they could only gradually return to the city. In this world, the concept of class is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if they had ten times the courage, they would not dare to disturb the Heavenly Demon Lord's rest.

The Heavenly Demon Lord has a good heart, but he is truly capable of killing.

The reputation of the Peacekeeping Vanguard also spread rapidly in Luyang City along with Du Ge's generous distribution of silver coins.

The Heavenly Demon Feng Qi is a good person, the guardian of the people...

For a while, word of mouth spread and the reputation soared.

Du Ge's reputation reached its peak in Luyang City in just one day, and his comprehensive attributes almost tripled. Now, his frontal attack speed and agility are almost comparable to the speed of assassinating Qiu Yuanlang from behind.

As for the sudden backstab, it goes without saying. It can be said that within ten meters, his backstab can achieve the effect of a flash. In this low martial world, no one can escape...

...

The Peacekeeping Vanguard was quiet.

From last night until now, the former members of the Iron Palm Gang have been tormented by Du Ge, barely getting any sleep. After the public trial ended, they couldn't hold on any longer and gradually fell asleep.

Even Liu Cheng, who had high martial arts skills, couldn't help but yawn.

The emperor also had evil soldiers. Seeing this scene, Du Ge let everyone rest.

In the vast Iron Palm Gang, the sound of snoring echoed, and only some servants and three Heavenly Demons were still active.

...

Du Ge: Ranked first in comprehensive ranking, spiritual power 100, total number of people in the simulation field 576.

After opening his personal information and taking a look, Du Ge looked at the empty Iron Palm Gang and sighed helplessly, "There are too few people I can use!"

"Brother Qi, I can be of use!" Feng Zhong accompanied him with a smiling face, "I still have the energy to support, just give me your orders. For Brother Qi's cause, I can go through fire and water. I don't care about ranking, I just want to experience the life in the simulation field..."

Feng Zhong had been accompanying Du Ge in handling the cases all day, and he didn't dare to run away until now. He finally had the opportunity to speak, fearing that Du Ge still had the intention to kill him. He expressed his loyalty as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Qi, kill him! The more people in the team, the more uncontrollable it becomes. It's enough for me to assist you by your side."

Wang San covered his forehead with his hair, slightly lowered his head, and his voice sounded sinister. He also held a broken plate in his hand, just like Du Ge, his attributes skyrocketed today, ranking second on the leaderboard.

He knew very well who was in first place.

Before, he exposed the keywords to Du Ge, putting the two of them in the spotlight, which caused some dissatisfaction. But in just one day, his attributes soared, and he became the runner-up in the simulation field, taking advantage of the situation. Naturally, he didn't want others to ruin his bright future.

"Haven't you heard Brother Qi say that we don't have enough people? What can a sickly adorable person like you do besides scaring people?" Feng Zhong said unwillingly, "Can you control the overall situation? If I hadn't sent a letter to Qiu Yuanlang, arousing his interest in the Heavenly Demon, you would still be looking for other Heavenly Demons in Xingyu Tower! How could you cause such a big commotion and progress so quickly in strength?"

"Are you provoking me?" Wang San smirked and suddenly turned towards Feng Zhong, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Swoosh.

Feng Zhong hid behind Du Ge, warning, "I warn you, don't use your skills on me! Brother Qi didn't kill me, if you use your skills on me and ruin Brother Qi's good things, Brother Qi won't spare you."

Qiu Yuanlang and his son were saved by the doctor halfway through. After they woke up and saw Wang San, they trembled with fear, their eyes flickering. Feng Zhong naturally didn't want Wang San's skills to fall on him. Then he would truly be unable to accomplish anything.

"Worthless." Wang San sneered, retracting his gaze. He acknowledged Du Ge's leadership, naturally not daring to overstep. Although his attributes soared, he felt that he still couldn't escape Feng Qi's sudden backstab. His speed was too fast.

"Brother Qi, in a few days, the reputation of the Peacekeeping Vanguard will spread to the ears of every examinee." Feng Zhong said, "It's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. No one knows what keywords others have. To maintain the current situation, the best way is to strike quickly and not give them time to react and grow, and eliminate them."

He paused and asked, "Boss, you should be ranked first now, right?"

Du Ge glanced at him, before he could speak, Wang San already said, "Can you find out Brother Qi's ranking?"

"Anyone with a little brain can guess, right? After causing such a big commotion in two days, if he's not in first place, then it's unreasonable." Feng Zhong impatiently glared at Wang San, "You perverted freak, can you shut up for a bit? Do you understand strategy?"

"Let him speak." Du Ge said. Liu Cheng and the others didn't have the energy to support, and Qiu Muqian and Han Zuo haven't returned since they entered the city. Who knows what they are up to behind the scenes!

The current Iron Palm Gang only had a little over four hundred people, and the only skilled ones were Liu Cheng, but his martial arts skills were similar to Feng Shiyi.

Before.

Du Ge's plan to establish the Peacekeeping Vanguard was gradual, accumulating like-minded people step by step. But with Feng Zhong's interference, the situation suddenly expanded. There were too few people he could use. Even if his energy was vigorous, he couldn't possibly do everything himself.

Feng Zhong's suggestion of striking quickly was a method, but it was extremely difficult to truly implement. After all, this world was too big."Brother Seven, the names of the top ten in the Simulation Field are only made public once a month. You might be feeling good now, but you've essentially exposed your ranking prematurely," Feng Zhong said. "Moreover, you've disrupted everyone's covert growth, making yourself a target. No one will sit by and watch you rise. After all, taking you down means they can directly replace your ranking. And your keyword is 'maintenance'..."

He chuckled, "Of course, I know that's your disguise, but there will always be someone who can deduce your real keyword from your actions. When that time comes, you'll definitely be targeted. Even if they can't figure it out, they can find out through trial and error. Especially since you've exposed the Heavenly Demon, there will always be smart people who will, like you, leverage the power of the natives."

The names of the top ten in the Simulation Field will be made public a month later?

Shrinking the circle?

From Feng Zhong's words, Du Ge gleaned a more important piece of information.

No wonder he had previously thought that the world was so vast, and it was too easy to hide a few hundred people among tens of millions. How could competitiveness be reflected if everyone just focused on their own growth?

So there was such a mechanism in place.

After a month of growth, the top ten would become glaring targets, targeted by everyone. Anyone with the ambition to compete for the ranking would see killing the top ten and replacing them as a shortcut to growth.

And in the later stages, when there were fewer people, the battles would become more intense...

MBD!

Not understanding the rules could be deadly!

Fortunately, he had a backstabbing cover, and these people were influenced by inertia thinking, not considering 'maintenance' as his real keyword. Otherwise, he would really be in trouble...

Du Ge's head ached a bit.

But on second thought, even if he knew the rules, would he not compete for the top ten?

After all, he had one more keyword than others, which naturally gave him an advantage. It was too easy for him to become one of the top ten.

There was almost no difference for him between being exposed now and being exposed a month later.

Developing in advance could rapidly boost his attributes. Facing a bunch of weaklings who hadn't grown yet was much better than facing a bunch of old silver coins who had grown for a month.

Thinking this way, Du Ge felt relieved.

Feng Zhong's voice continued, "...At this time, we need my 'Tongue of Right and Wrong'. We can get all the sects busy, even attract the masters of the sects, recruit them one by one, or kill them. In this way, our power will grow larger and larger, making it impossible for others to use the natives."

Tongue of Right and Wrong?

What a Tongue of Right and Wrong! This one really had persuasive power!

Du Ge glanced at Feng Zhong, "What's your ranking now?"

Feng Zhong chuckled, looking somewhat proud, "Thanks to Brother Seven, I stirred up the situation between you and the Iron Palm Gang. I've managed to stir up the overall situation, and now I'm ranked ninth in the Simulation Field, barely making it into the top ten."

Damn!

Du Ge cursed. He had worked hard to become the first in the Simulation Field, while this one had just written a letter and rode the wave into the top ten. It was so damn unfair.

"Lucky bastard." Wang San muttered, clearly dissatisfied with Feng Zhong's sneaky entry into the top ten.

"What's your ranking?" Du Ge asked Wang San.

"Thanks to Brother Seven, I'm second in the Simulation Field, barely making it into the top three." Wang San glanced at Feng Zhong, deliberately announcing his ranking to annoy Feng Zhong.

"Damn!" Feng Zhong's eyes widened, "You're the lucky bastard! Without Brother Seven, your disgusting keyword would have gotten you burned to death as soon as you showed up. How could you have grown so fast?"

One was second, the other was ninth!

Du Ge suddenly laughed, "Alright, stop arguing. We're all in the top ten now, tied together. A month from now, no one can escape. We might as well work together and think about how to protect our rankings."
