Apocalypse I Have One More Keyword Than Others

Chapter 436 - - 422 Comes from off-site targeting _2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“I understand,” Nobb nodded. “Senior, I will work hard to develop the keywords and won’t hold you back.”

“Nobb, how old are you?” Duge asked.

“23.” Nobb was sharp and instantly knew what Duge was really asking about. He confessed, “This is my first time on the Alien Battlefield. I’ve been through six simulation training sessions and graduated with the best results.”

Six times!

Duge sighed, realizing indeed that every planet had different policies. Six simulation sessions before being sent to the Alien Battlefield meant far more experience and adaptability than those from Qiyuan Star, no wonder Qiyuan Star suffered utter defeat on the Alien Battlefield.

They were already at a disadvantage in the selection of talent, but this was probably due to resource allocation.

The activation of simulation training consumed resources. Without sufficient resources, it was impossible to run more simulations…

Duge looked at Nobb and used the skill of Impartiality on him.

Nobb was startled for a moment, blinked his eyes, and uttered three words: “I am innocent.”

After speaking, he looked at Duge with a sheepish smile, “Senior Duge, is this your skill?”

“Yes, Judgement,” Duge said absentmindedly with a nod.

The result of Judging Nobb was within his expectations. Alien Warriors, before being sent to the battlefield, were either studying or training in simulations. In such environments, it was nearly impossible for them to develop any evil thoughts.

Moreover, killing and arson in simulations and on the Alien Battlefield, conspiracies and tricks, in their minds, were all just efforts to survive.

With such premises, unless one has an excessively Holy Mother-like heart, they would not consider their actions to be evil.

Just like a wolf killing a sheep for meat, you cannot call it evil.

In other words, the premise of Impartiality is that the target must believe their actions are evil to be Judged…

Alas!

Duge sighed lightly. In the end, the skill was merely a chicken rib – hard to discard but of little use. Relying on it to gauge the loyalty of Alien Warriors was likely to be faulty. He would need to awaken stronger skills.

Duge observed Nobb, thinking of his second skill, but quickly dismissed the restless idea.

Taking possession of the indigenous covertly was one thing, taking possession of Alien Warriors was another matter altogether.

After the game ended, Pan-Universe Entertainment would reclaim the souls. If detected, that would be the real end of it.

You could be reckless on the Alien Battlefield, but it was better to be cautious in reality.

Besides, possessing Alien Warriors wasn’t very useful anyway.

It was merely jumping from one fighting pit to another.

Pan-Universal Entertainment Headquarters.

The head of the marketing department listened to the conversation between Duge and Nobb, frowning deeply, “Ross, we must restrict Duge. If he continues to treat the warriors from other planets like this, the competitive nature of the game will be lost. Without competition, the enthusiasm of the viewers will rapidly decline.”

“Absolutely,” agreed the manager of the casino. “After Duge defeated Angel, the gamblers have already stopped betting. They no longer believe anyone can defeat Duge in this game. Betting on who can make it to the top ten has also become meaningless, as Duge will surely place his buddies in the top ten.

“Now that he has the Chariot of the Solar God, distance is no longer an issue for him. If he finds more than three people from Qiyuan Star, the other Alien Warriors stand no chance. Ross, it seems we’ve been too clever for our own good.

“With such a large planet, it’s impossible for warriors from other planets to unite. Moreover, because of the reduced probability for derivative skills, the early development of the other Alien Warriors has been greatly limited…”

“How many from Qiyuan Star are still alive?” Ross furrowed his brow and turned to the technical department.

“21 people,” reported the head of data monitoring. “Duge’s friends are all still alive, and they nearly monopolized the top ten in the last game. If the last game’s ending repeats, I bet that in no more than two more games, not only the casino, but also the hard-earned viewing rates will plunge again. Duge is too powerful, he needs an adversary strong enough to compete with him.”

“Release a new main quest to everyone!” Ross tapped the table lightly and looked in the direction of the data department, “The slumbering God Spirits, disaster is coming. For every God Spirit found and awakened, reward one hundred thousand spiritual power.”

The head of the data department was taken aback, “Ross, are you sure we should do this? Duge now has a huge advantage, if he undertakes this quest, there’s a high chance he will seize all the rewards for himself…”

“He won’t do it, don’t forget what he’s currently up to. He’s impersonating a spokesperson for the Sea God while undermining the Solar God. If he rashly awakens God Spirits, he will back himself into a corner,” Ross smiled. “Moreover, his spiritual power is high; he wouldn’t risk himself for one hundred thousand spiritual power.”

“But the other Alien Warriors have too low attributes. With their current abilities, it’s impossible for them to come into contact with God Spirits in a short time,” the data department head responded.

“Then adjust the probability for advanced skills back to the original values,” Ross snorted, then looked towards the marketing department head, “Make sure our decision is announced in advance. This is to add excitement to the game. I believe both viewers and gamblers would love to see some added difficulty for Duge.”
