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

Chapter 110: Trader

What kind of business is the best to do?

First is monopoly, second is hoarding.

When you are freezing to death, sell you a cotton coat; when you are starving, sell you food. Many unscrupulous businessmen have made their fortune during times of disaster...

But is Du Ge an unscrupulous businessman?

Yes, he is.

Indeed, he is.

What he demands is much more valuable than gold, antiques, and jewelry. It is only slightly better than selling children.

But he is not.

In times of extreme hunger, so-called strength, agility, including luck, are of no use to a person. For an ordinary person, whether they have 10% more or 10% less strength, the result is the same when encountering mutant beasts.

Therefore.

In the eyes of most people, Du Ge's behavior is like a lunatic doing charity.

Normally, this kind of behavior would be criticized and mocked online, but now, people in distress hope to have more fools like him...

...

10 points of strength is equivalent to an ordinary person, 10 points of agility is equivalent to an ordinary person. There are probably more than a thousand people in the warehouse. Even if it is divided into three parts, in addition to the attributes brought by trade, he has accumulated the strength and agility of more than thirty normal people.

The impact force of an ordinary person's punch is about 100 kilograms. With the accumulation of more than 30 people, it means that Du Ge can easily generate an impact force of 3,000 kilograms with a casual punch.

With ease, he can kill a tiger with just one punch.

Du Ge estimated that in terms of strength and agility, he is already on par with the previous simulation field, or slightly lower.

However, his ranking in the simulation field is only 29, which seems somewhat abnormal.

Even if there are keywords like killing or destruction, and even if someone luckily obtained the previous simulation field, their keyword maintenance can grow rapidly, but it is unlikely to surpass his accumulation in the previous simulation field within two days.

There is only one possibility left, the attributes obtained through trading are commodities and are not calculated in his personal strength by the system...

He has become prosperous!

Du Ge couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He continued to trade. Even if there are only a hundred thousand people alive in Yuan'an City, the accumulated attributes are enough to make him a superhuman on land.

Perhaps, he can also set some other prices, such as healing ability. With super healing power and the recovery brought by accumulated attributes, who in the simulation field can surpass him?

Capital is indeed the root of all evil that controls everything...

Du Ge's excitement surged. Thinking about his bright future, he felt extremely excited. But when he thought about the terrifying Alien Star Battlefield, he suppressed his crazy thoughts in his heart.

Calm down!

Calm down!

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

In this simulation field, it is enough to have seven or eight inconspicuous people.

He must not attract attention like last time and become the center of attention.

Anyway, the attributes in the simulation field cannot be taken out. Whoever he finds pleasing to the eye, he can simply trade with them. With loyalty, he doesn't have to worry about them turning against him.

In this simulation field, he might as well be a behind-the-scenes manipulator controlling the rankings.

Realizing that he is likely invincible now, Du Ge quickly set a new goal for himself.

Of course.

Before becoming a behind-the-scenes manipulator, he must first understand the main storyline of the world. Otherwise, in the end, while he is still dreaming, someone else will complete the main storyline, steal his home, and that would be a great joke.

Also.

If he continues to trade, his ranking will rise quickly enough. It seems unnecessary to keep brushing the keyword of kindness. He needs to step on the brakes a bit.

...

While Du Ge was planning for the future, Geng Zhong and the others rushed out of the underground garage. They were prepared for battle, even being exploited by another group of people. But what they saw was a scene of joy and harmony.

Goods were being distributed from car to car, and the oppressed people in the garage were now enjoying their meals with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.

Geng Zhong hadn't seen such smiles on people's faces for a long time since the disaster happened.

Geng Zhong learned about the trading rules from the conversations of the people around him. He took a step forward and asked, "Du Ge, can we also get things?"

"It's not getting, it's more accurate to say buying." After deciding to no longer brush the keyword of kindness, Du Ge restored his suppressed nature, "I am a businessman. If you want to get things from me, you must pay the corresponding price."

"Strength, agility, or luck?" Geng Zhong looked puzzled.

"Of course, now I have decided to add a recovery ability." Du Ge smiled, "I am doing long-term business. If each person pays 10% of their recovery ability, you can get the necessary living supplies from me. Of course, I am very generous, you can also choose to trade for strength, agility, or luck..."

Behind Du Ge, Yao Tong and Bao Benwei exchanged glances, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Du Ge changed the trading content, which only proved one thing: the strength and agility obtained through trading are useful to him. It seems that they are different from keywords and mental power, and are not temporary.

Damn it!

How is it possible to have such a ridiculous advanced skill? This completely breaks the rules of the simulation field!

At this rate of development, it won't be long before he becomes the undisputed number one in the simulation field...

...

"I sell strength."

"I sell luck.""I guess I'll sell strength too. Strength is like a servant, it comes back when used up. Although this guy sounds like he's babbling nonsense, what if it's true!"

...

The people behind Geng Zhong were starving. Seeing the abundant food, they eagerly joined the trading queue without a second thought.

Geng Zhong looked at Du Ge's group. Yao Tong, who wore his underwear outside his clothes, Bao Benwei, who was covered in blood, and others like Gou Kun. Even Du Ge, although he looked energetic, was covered in patches of fresh blood. The tears in his clothes were clearly caused by mutant cats and dogs.

The truck they arrived in still reeked of fresh paint. The so-called "Charity Unlimited Company" was obviously a recent addition...

He was somewhat moved and couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why are you doing this? It seems that you've paid a hefty price to get these supplies. Why are you distributing them so freely? I don't believe that you're really harvesting strength and agility, these intangible things.

I've seen too much darkness and misfortune these days. Just now, I was ready to die with the local tyrant. Can you tell me the real reason? Let me believe that there is still light and hope in this world. I can't hold on much longer..."

Looking at the young man in front of him, with tears in his eyes and chapped lips, and the longing in his eyes, Du Ge felt a slight tremor in his heart. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn Simulation Field, why make it so realistic?

Why is there such an innocent young man in this post-apocalyptic world?

Could his Keywords be innocence?

But Du Ge knew that the young man in front of him was just an ordinary person. If he were a candidate, a slight increase in attributes would have healed his chapped lips and minor wounds.

Sighing, Du Ge asked, "What's your name?"

"Geng Zhong," he replied.

"Can you receive broadcasts in your warehouse?" Du Ge asked.

Geng Zhong nodded.

"Have you heard the term 'Heavenly Demon' from the broadcasts?" Du Ge asked again.

Geng Zhong hesitated, "I've heard it, but I think it's a lie."

"No, it's not a lie." Du Ge smiled and shook his head, "I got some power from the Heavenly Demon. The virtual things in the trade are actually real, including strength, agility, even luck. They really paid for those."

As he spoke, he took the wrench from the young man's hand, easily bent it into a ball, and handed it back to him, "Geng Zhong, this is the truth. Isn't it cruel? Now, do you still believe in light? In this morally decayed post-apocalyptic world, everyone is selfish, including me..."

Geng Zhong looked at the iron ball in his palm, then at Du Ge. The shock in his eyes couldn't be concealed. After a moment, he looked up and said seriously, "No, you're a good person."

"Oh?" Du Ge laughed, "I've taken your strength and agility, which are worth more than gold. Do you still think I'm a good person?"

"Without you, everyone here would be dead in half an hour." Geng Zhong looked at Du Ge, his gaze gradually firming, "I don't care if you're the Heavenly Demon or if you got your power from the Heavenly Demon. But you didn't abuse these powers, you didn't forcibly take everything from us.

You could get these supplies, it must have been easy for you. But you only asked for a little insignificant strength and gave us so much food in return. What you asked for doesn't even affect their normal activities, and you provided them with necessary supplies. You're a good person."

"Your thinking is quite unique." Du Ge laughed.

"I just see things clearer than they do." Geng Zhong also laughed, pointing at the words "Charity Unlimited Company" on the car, "Mr. Qi, you're worthy of the word 'kindness'."

"Actually, I don't care about kindness anymore." Du Ge shook his head.

"Mr. Qi, can I trade something else with you?" Geng Zhong asked.

"What do you want to trade?" Du Ge raised an eyebrow.

"Strength, I want strength," Geng Zhong said, "There are some people in the garage that I must punish. I need great strength. As long as you give it to me, I can pay any price."

"How about loyalty?" Du Ge looked him up and down.

"Sure." Geng Zhong smiled, "It's my honor to serve a good person like you."

"You have good taste, young man. I accept this trade." Du Ge's eyes lit up, he patted Geng Zhong's shoulder, "Be my agent!"
