Chapter 265 - - 263 Extra Game_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The next day.

The replay video of the just-concluded Alien Battlefield was packaged and sent down to the top ten planets.

Duge—3051 Group B—Xianxia background—First place—Plunder;

Romey—3051 Group B—Xianxia background—Second place—Scouting;

Qiyuan Star received two replay videos.

Romey’s growth history wasn’t much to look at, standard fare all the way. That victory was purely due to a stroke of luck with a crucial keyword, which Duge unearthed.

The key was Duge’s video; that was the one truly worth studying.

After watching Duge’s replay, all the high-level officials of Qiyuan Star fell into silence.

…

“He’s very outstanding, in control from the start. It’s hard to believe he’s only 18. If I encountered him on the Alien Battlefield, I wouldn’t stand a chance,” said a general who looked to be in his thirties.

“Yes, when he was weak, no one cared. By the time he grew strong, it was too late to move against him,” another general shook his head. “Unless you can react quickly in the mid-game, there’s just no solution.”

“No one would do that because no one thought Duge would sweep the world in a matter of months,” General Fu, with his graying hair, said. “Moreover, his disguise was good. If we hadn’t known from the start that his keyword was plunder, we would have treated him as an economic keyword. Economies are the easiest to collapse; everyone was fooled by him.”

“General Fu, you must have seen the simulation that Duge crushed, his creation of a proxy model split like a virus. Even if his keyword really was economic, the others wouldn’t have time to stop him,” said another.

Nan Youlong said, “In the Medical Immortal Sect, Duge tried to replicate the model of the second simulation by passing it between patients. Had he succeeded, he would still have dominated the Cultivation World. He had prepared at least two paths for himself.”

“No, three,” the Speaker said. “One in the Mortal Realm, two in the Cultivation World. It’s our fortune that Qiyuan Star has Duge.”

All the high-level attendees had fought on Alien Battlefields, making them the most authoritative to speak. Imagining themselves in the battlefield, they starkly realized that facing Duge, they were almost without a solution.

A council member, possibly out of envy, furrowed his brow and offered a different opinion, “He shouldn’t have returned other planets’ people, especially Dan Cong, who almost completely learned from his experiences. Once spread, it could cause us immense harm. He clearly had the capacity to eliminate people from other planets, leaving only those from Qiyuan Star. That way, we could monopolize all ten resources.”

“Indeed, I dread to think what it would be like on the Alien Battlefield if everyone were as mad as Duge,” another council member chimed in.

“If you’d seen Duge’s second simulation, then perhaps you wouldn’t have these doubts. Those copycats are far from his equal,” Nan Youlong glared at them, defending his protégé.

“But those are just kids, and Alien Battlefields are full of the chosen elite,” the council member countered.

“Yet those elites’ performances were not even on par with those kids,” Nan Youlong shot back.

“What does that matter? As formidable as Duge is, he can only ensure victory in one Alien Battlefield. There are three more battlefields!” the council member said. “His actions were irresponsible. Had he annihilated the people from other planets, bringing back the experiences alone, we could have enjoyed the fruits of victory from four Alien Battlefields for at least a year, all to ourselves. Rebelling against Pan-Universe Entertainment is naïve.”

“…” Nan Youlong was taken aback, falling silent. Yesterday, when he had heard Duge speak, it seemed alright, but today, after watching the replay, even he thought Duge was being overly idealistic.

The President of the Federation picked up a gavel from beside him and gave a few raps on the table. The noisy chamber immediately fell quiet.

The President looked around at everyone and said, “Duge has already acted, so it’s pointless to fault his mistakes. He’s still a child and may not have thought things through thoroughly. We shouldn’t deny that he is our hero just because he made some mistakes.

Currently, Qiyuan Star is in a highly tense situation, with people in many areas already storming the government and seizing resources.

Tomorrow, broadcast the news of Duge’s victory as the first-place winner to boost the confidence of the people. I don’t want any news that damages his image leaking out. Qiyuan Star needs a hero to save the world.

Blur the ending of Duge’s Alien Battlefield replay when it is released for public viewing…”

With the President’s final decision, all the dissatisfaction aimed at Duge was suppressed.

Straight after.

The President tapped the table, and a short notification appeared on the big screen.

The contents of the notification were simple.

Three months later, an extra match in the Alien Battlefield, with Duge required to participate.

As soon as the notification was revealed, the room erupted into an uproar.

The President tapped the gavel in his hand again and waited until the hall quieted down before he spoke, “In fact, Duge has not only changed us but also Pan-Universe Entertainment. After all, what Pan-Universe Entertainment needs is a thrilling performance.”

“This notification letter is an experiment, and the implications behind it are very clear—the style of future battlefields will inevitably change. Therefore, whether or not Duge sends back other people to their planets, his replay videos will surely be sent to the other ten planets.”

“The future mode of the Alien Battlefield will become very challenging, and it’s uncertain who will prevail, so we must seize this additional match.”

“After all, no one is as familiar with Duge’s fighting style as he is. In three months, if other planets want to change their battle strategies and select new talent, they may not be able to catch up.”

“As long as Duge wins another victory and monopolizes the top ten resources, then we will have a long period of time for troop training. The additional match in three months is what we should focus on…”

“President, Duge is very capricious, and with the constantly changing situation on the battlefield, it might be difficult for him to take the top ten spots,” Nan Youlong raised his hand and said.

“Staff Chief Nan, I have watched all the simulation video data of Duge. Duge is smart and has a big-picture perspective, but he has a weakness, which is his sense of loyalty,” the President said with a smile, looking at Nan Youlong. “In this Alien Battlefield, send in those familiar with him. To ensure their safety, Duge will find a way to clinch the top ten positions.”

“…” Nan Youlong was stunned.

“If Duge can unite his comrades on the battlefield, he will at least have five key term interactions. With that, the probability of victory will be higher,” the President said with a smile. “But don’t tell Duge about this beforehand. Let all of them meet before going to the battlefield and give them time to bond.”

“Yes,” Nan Youlong responded. He remembered Duge’s request and asked, “Mr. President, Duge has applied to open a simulation for his personal training.”

“Granted,” the President didn’t wait for him to finish speaking and readily agreed. He looked around at everyone and said, “With the future mode of the Alien Battlefield undergoing significant changes, those students who were previously eliminated and are unruly, should be picked out, and all sent into Duge’s simulation. Then, select some promising seeds from them. Include them in the additional match of the Alien Battlefield.”

…

Not only on Qiyuan Star.

Purple Hero Star, Ceres Star, Sirius, Lanchen Star, and other planets that participated in the Alien Battlefield, upon learning the information about the additional match, also began to work overtime to revise their previous strategies and entered a frenzy of preparation.

Previously.

Even though Duge had finished the Alien Battlefield in one day, they didn’t take him seriously.

After all, the video replays they got were from the perspective of their own planet’s players.

Most of the time, those players had not come into contact with Duge until the very end, when they were singled out by Duge and rewarded with a top ten finish.

As a result, many viewed Duge as having mere dumb luck. His growth process could have been undone by a single slip-up at any stage, and he might have been beyond recovery.

They didn’t even know what Duge’s key terms were in the end.

Therefore.

Most still believed they should stick to the traditional style of play.

However, after the message of the additional match reached them, the people of these planets changed their previous thoughts and began to analyze the replay videos frame by frame, attempting to decipher Duge’s key terms from various clues, and then to learn and utilize them.

Among the nine planets.

Dan Cong’s Ceres Star took Duge the most seriously.

After all.

Dan Cong’s perspective overlapped with Duge’s scenes the most.

Although Dan Cong was continuously tormented by Duge and even used as a human-shaped flying sword at the end.

From Dan Cong’s perspective, Duge’s growth was unbelievably swift, compelling them to take him seriously…

Dan Cong of Ceres Star, then, became the most famous person on their planet in a very unconventional way.

Compared to many of his predecessors, Dan Cong’s replay video was too short.

Just this shortness alone would attract almost all the warriors who were going to participate in the Alien Battlefield to observe.

After seeing the scenes in the replay where he used the organs of his practice body to write, the already retirement-ready Dan Cong unhesitatingly signed up for the additional match of the Alien Battlefield. He had decided to die on the battlefield.
