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

Clearly marked price?

What the hell is this!

Du Ge was stunned.

In the previous simulation field, the descriptions of his advanced skills were clear and practical.

But what does this "clearly marked price" mean?

Does it mean that without this skill, he cannot price his own items?

It seems useless!

Du Ge already knew that even with the same keywords, because everyone's personality is different, the way they use keywords and the advanced skills derived from them are also different.

This "clearly marked price" was most likely something he came up with when he traded supplies earlier, using singing and dancing to settle the bill...

No, that's not right.

If singing and dancing can also be considered a form of clearly marked price, then does that mean he has the authority to designate currency?

In other words, he can forcefully harvest the most precious things from others using the clearly marked price method, such as their limbs, or even their lives or freedom...

Still not right.

He only has the power to set prices. If the other party feels it's inappropriate, they can simply choose not to buy. No one is foolish enough to use their life to purchase goods.

Just like earlier, he priced singing and dancing, and the people in the underground garage bought the supplies because they urgently needed them and the cost was within their range.

But once the price exceeds their range, the outcome may be different!

Having power and control over pricing can indeed allow one to do as they please, but if one has power and control, why bother with pricing?

...

Whether to buy or not completely depends on the other party!

What a useless skill!

Du Ge frowned, contemplating the way of trading.

Then, the tactics of various major e-commerce platforms on Earth flooded into his mind: cash on delivery, installment payments, prepayments, and even pay after use...

Du Ge's eyes gradually lit up.

Indeed, everything that has been deceived will eventually become valuable life experience.

In the depths of his mind, the predecessors on Earth had already pointed him in the direction of business.

Trade is nothing more than finding ways to put your money into my wallet.

...

A simple phrase like "Brother Hu, the great philanthropist" can exchange for food, and Dog Kun quickly distributed the supplies.

With each successful transaction, Du Ge's attributes rapidly increased, reaching almost the same level as when he left the Feng Family.

However, his ranking did not rise much this time, hovering around 180th place, while in the previous simulation field, he was already ranked first.

The combination of trade and kindness is indeed not as effective as maintenance and betrayal.

Those people who constantly praised him as a great philanthropist probably didn't truly believe he was kind-hearted. They probably called him a great philanthropist while secretly cursing him as a great evildoer.

Sigh!

Clearly doing good deeds, but unable to gain a good reputation...

Du Ge sighed with disappointment. The path of kindness is indeed long and arduous!

...

"Brother Hu, we're done distributing."

Dog Kun walked over with a sausage in his mouth and handed Du Ge a package of vacuum-sealed roasted chicken and a can of beer.

Behind them, Huang Mao and the others were either gnawing on chicken feet or eating canned food, and even Yao Tong was chewing on a spicy duck neck. They all looked content and enjoyed...

On the other hand, the people in the warehouse were either eating bread or hard steamed buns.

The difference in treatment between the two sides was like heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene, Du Ge's face immediately darkened.

It's not about scarcity, but about inequality. No wonder his kindness hasn't made any progress. It's all ruined by these guys!

"Put down what you have in your hands." Du Ge stared at them with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice.

Huang Mao and the others were all scared and looked at Du Ge blankly, not knowing what was happening.

"Brother Hu, what's wrong?" Dog Kun asked in confusion.

"What did I just say? You can't take the company's things for free. Did you buy the things you're eating?" Du Ge's face turned serious. "As the leader of the company, you shouldn't be the first to break my rules."

"Brother Hu, we're brothers. There's no need to play like this!" Dog Kun pleaded with a sycophantic smile. "Those people don't care."

"Rules are rules, Dog Kun. Do you want to provoke me?" Du Ge pulled out his gun and said coldly.

"Brother Hu?" Dog Kun was shocked. He didn't expect that because of such a small matter, Du Ge would point his gun at him. The muscles on his face stiffened...

Huang Mao and the others looked at each other, feeling at a loss. The Tiger Brother in front of them suddenly became unfamiliar.

The other people in the garage all looked over, stopped eating, and secretly cheered, hoping that these dogs would fight each other, preferably with their brains turning into dog brains.

Seeing this scene, Yao Tong's brow furrowed even tighter. His heart was pounding, and the sense of foreboding grew stronger.

...

Under the dark barrel of the gun, Dog Kun finally gave in. He grinned and forced out an ugly smile. "Brother Hu, the great philanthropist, alright!"

There was resentment in his tone.

"No, the price has changed this time." Du Ge whistled and put away his gun. He pointed at the things in their hands and smiled. "The things you're eating are high-grade. This time, the price is loyalty. If you want to eat them, you must be loyal to me for the rest of your life. Accept this price, and I'll sell them to you. If you don't accept it, put them down."

Brother Hu smiled, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Sigh!

The people in the garage all sighed in unison and continued eating. It turned out to be a joke between gangsters. They had hoped for nothing. They were all in the same boat. They should have known that it was impossible for them to fight each other."Brother Hu, you should have said so earlier, you gave me a scare." Gou Kun breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling, "We've already sold our lives to you, of course we'll be loyal to Brother Hu for life. Unless Brother Hu drives us away, there's no way we'd betray you."

"Exactly, Brother Hu, you're the boss. If we betray you, where would we go to find food?" Huang Mao and the others chimed in with laughter.

Huang Mao waved the chicken claw in his hand, teasingly asked, "Brother Hu, now that the bill is paid, can we eat now?"

"Eat, eat! You've bought it with a lifetime of loyalty, of course you can eat." Du Ge smiled, then turned to Yao Tong, raising an eyebrow, "What about you? Are you willing to exchange a lifetime of loyalty for the food I provide?"

"..." Yao Tong looked at Du Ge, his gaze somewhat complex.

"Are you buying or not, say something!" Du Ge asked again, then frowned, "You're not willing?"

"Damn, I knew this guy was up to no good." Huang Mao snatched the food from Yao Tong's hand and kicked him, "What about assisting Brother Hu to grow stronger, bullshit!"

"Brother Hu, kill him! This damn Heavenly Demon clearly has ill intentions." Gou Kun also noticed something was off, "Brother Hu, this guy just swore on the Heart of the Heavenly Demon, now he doesn't even dare to pledge loyalty to Brother Hu, could it be that the oath really works on the Heavenly Demon?"

"What do you mean, Gou Kun?" Du Ge glared at Gou Kun discontentedly, "Are you saying your loyalty is just for show?"

"Brother Hu, of course mine is real. I'm talking about the Heavenly Demon, isn't he different from us?" Gou Kun stuffed a ham into his mouth in two bites, glanced at Yao Tong, and said, "I've watched a lot of anime, some monsters and demons, once they sign a contract with their master, they can never betray. I'm wondering if the Heavenly Demon has something like this, did you unintentionally activate some kind of contract, so he's so cautious..."

Bingo!

This Gou Kun is a talent!

Du Ge glanced at Gou Kun and laughed, "This is a transaction, not a contract, Yao Tong, it's just a joke, you're not even afraid of this, are you? Or are you really harboring some rebellious thoughts, thinking about killing me and taking my place at any time?"

Hearing Gou Kun's words, fine beads of sweat involuntarily seeped from Yao Tong's forehead. He pursed his lips, looked at Du Ge, and suddenly said, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger."

Everyone was stunned.

Gou Kun looked at Yao Tong in astonishment, "Has this guy gone mad? Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, covers your mother's head!"

Huang Mao said, "He's responding to the code, isn't he? He can't think that our Brother Hu has been possessed by the Heavenly Demon, can he?"

Another thug said, "He just said that Brother Hu is strong and can't be possessed by the Heavenly Demon, and then he slaps himself in the face."

The remaining thug came to Yao Tong and said, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, the rope is two and a half meters long, hahaha... Yao Tong, did I get it right?"

"God damn, the rope is two and a half meters long, Old Yu is talented, hahaha..." Gou Kun and the others all started laughing uproariously.

"What's the next line?" Du Ge came to Yao Tong and asked with interest.

Yao Tong mumbled a few words, "Pagoda suppresses the River Demon."

Du Ge turned around, clapped his hands and said, "Guys, remember this code, from now on we'll use this code to bait the Heavenly Demon..."
