Chapter 56: 056 Simulation Field Disaster_1
Duge waited for the time to meet with the disciples of Divine Fist Gate.
Feng Zhong’s letter had finally reached all the major sects, and the events that took place in Luyang City were also spread throughout Daqian by traveling merchants.
The descent of the Heavenly Demon, and the Peacekeeping Gang that defended the interests of the people of Luyang City, became the topic of everyone’s conversation.
…
“Damn it, who is this guy? He’s just flipping the table over! Does he even care about letting others live…”
“Feng Qi? Peacekeeping Gang, interesting, revealing their cards outright, who gave you the courage…”
“Let you be smug for a while, getting fat isn’t called fat before it crushes the kang, hope you can hold out till the end, it’s rare to see such an interesting player.”
“Deceiving in the name of protection, have to ponder what his real keyword is?”
“Gluttony, such a good keyword, just to waste it like that, so stupid!”
“Maybe, I should go check out Luyang City, this guy has caused such a commotion, he must rank highly, killing him and taking over his inheritance would be much faster than my leisurely cultivation of keywords. But he has three people with him, they might be tough to handle…”
“There really are people who found companions in the simulation field, three lucky bastards!”
…
It was originally well hidden, but since the table was flipped, the simulation field players from all over started going crazy, and the majority expressed strong outrage at Duge’s actions.
And more people were at their wits’ end.
After all.
Not everyone’s keyword is suited for open play.
Especially after the news spread, common folk and the major sects even started a vigorous movement to find the Heavenly Demons among them, making some people afraid to even show their faces.
Such as those with keywords like outrageous, venomous, brutal, lustful, destructive; they could have gradually let themselves mature while turning bad.
By the time they truly grew up, they would have become a Demon Head in their own right.
Now Duge’s approach was basically cutting off their path of growth, or at the very least, making their growth extremely difficult.
Not a single person or group wishes to have an Evil Demon destined to harm others by their side.
In the martial arts world, no one will reason with you,
Local clans and such can directly label you as a Heavenly Demon if you act suspiciously and execute you on the spot.
Even with an outrageous keyword, you can’t disguise it as docile…
Those with keywords like kindness and nobility also suffered unwarranted disasters.
Duge’s keyword is “protection”, and he’s already making such a big fuss; God knows what those people’s keywords will make them do once they grow.
For the natives, the best way to deal with Heavenly Demons is to strangle them in the cradle before they can grow up.
After all, Feng Qi published the method to identify the Heavenly Demons: taking possession of old, weak, sick, handicapped individuals, and sudden changes in character, etc.
These characteristics are actually easy to find.
Not everyone has Duge’s ability to adapt quickly, nor does everyone meet a Feng Family that is easily deceived.
Many players with outstanding keywords could have slowly grown and eventually compete for the top ten rankings in the simulation.
Yet, due to unforeseen circumstances, they were eliminated, and they only wanted to say one thing to Feng Qi, the cause of it all, “Really fucking…”.
…
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Five hundred, four hundred, three hundred…
In just a few days, the previously stable number of players within the simulation had begun a new round of rapid decrease, the numbers changing almost daily.
“Tsk tsk, how tragic, Brother Qi’s table-flipping move, combined with the Peacekeeping Gang’s fast-paced start, is simply divine. In less than half a month, less than two hundred remain, truly one of the most brutal starts in the simulation’s history.” Feng Zhong cradled a cat, absentmindedly teasing its ear with one hand as he watched the ever-changing numbers on the information panel, click-clacking his tongue, “So many people caught in an undeserved plight, they must surely hate Brother Qi to death.”
“That’s just how the simulation is, anything can happen, and no one can blame anyone else,” Wang San said, caressing a skull, his eyes betraying undeniable joy. He was currently ranked second in the simulation and naturally preferred fewer competitors in the field.
Duge remained silent.
Having backstabbed so many players, his attributes had once again leaped in quality. At this point, he estimated he could take down Tong Shihong without relying on tricks or schemes.
Duge was pondering what his life would be like after leaving the simulation.
Busy enjoying himself, he wondered whether those who had been eliminated would hold a grudge against him and give him trouble in reality.
That meant he suddenly had several hundred new enemies!
But this was not a good topic to inquire about.
After all, he didn’t want to expose his transmigrator identity, and it was one thing to lack memories of the characters in the simulation, but not having memories from reality was another issue.
Headache!
However, judging by the attitudes of Wang San and the others, it probably wasn’t a big issue. In any school, the top scorer should have some privileges, right?
And besides, he was so outstanding, not providing him with special protection would be unreasonable…
After much thought, Duge decided to follow his own heart. An excellent person should be envied by others. Halting progress for fear of others’ jealousy was not his style.
“However, those who can survive this storm should be the elite. And now everyone’s attention will be on us, which may not be a good thing for us,” Feng Zhong said.
“They could also be the real underdogs,” Wang San said with a wistful glance at the two. “You elite academy disciples wouldn’t understand. Many regular academy students enter the simulation not to compete for rankings but to enjoy life in there. As long as they didn’t reveal themselves at the start, they should be able to hide and survive.
Moreover, even if they are elite, what of it? Following Brother Qi’s plan, we should be able to dominate half of the simulation’s territory in a month. I can’t think of any keyword that could quickly evolve to the point of contending with Brother Qi…”
“It’s not about contending with Brother Qi, but with the three of us,” Feng Zhong shot Wang San a slanted look, saying, “Wang San, don’t underestimate the students of the elite academies. When things get dire to the point that individual ability can’t turn the tide, they will group up on their own. The education we’ve received from an early age is to use everything around us. As long as you survive to the end, you always have a chance to win.
Sometimes attributes can’t decide everything, like the recent Gluttony, transforming into a divine beast with an advancement skill never seen before in the simulation. To tell the truth, our cards are on the table, so we can’t be too careless.”
After finishing, Feng Zhong turned to the silent Duge and asked with a smile, “Brother Qi, what are you thinking about? You haven’t said a word for so long.”
“Nothing?” Duge, having just rid himself of his worries, smiled, and looked at the two freaks beside him, saying, “I’m considering our next move, how to maintain our rankings. I think as long as we move fast enough to keep everyone active, keep them constantly fighting for survival, on the edge of death, there won’t be a chance for them to unite.”
Wang San and Feng Zhong exchanged a look.
Feng Zhong gave a thumbs-up and praised, “Brother Qi is always rational, never disturbed by the outside world.”
