Chapter 497 - - 457 The greatest low-key is the mastermind behind the scenes_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Not every person’s keyword is positive. Among the game players, there are those who carry negative keywords such as slaughter, chaos, and malice. These individuals will inevitably become unstable elements in society. It is necessary to eliminate them.

Of course, if Mr. President is confident, he could send them to the front lines to confront the Hill civilization. Those game players who possess the keyword of slaughter are quite willing to do so. However, this approach is also likely to backfire.

After all, you can’t guarantee the accuracy of their keywords. If you send a game player with the keyword of betrayal to the front line, there’s a high probability they would gleefully defect…"

The corners of the President’s mouth twitched involuntarily upon learning more about the game players from Duge. He suddenly realized the complexity of the situation.

“By eliminating these negative keywords, then the remaining positive keywords can be properly utilized,” Duge said with a smile. “With these game players around, peculiar and strange events are bound to occur on Green Star.

Mr. President can take the opportunity to establish a department, specially recruiting a group of extraordinary individuals to deal with these special matters, perhaps called something like the National Defense Bureau and use such a pretext to recruit game players.

As long as they want to harness the power of the state apparatus, I think most would not reject the offer.

They equally desire to eliminate their rivals, don’t they?

You could also capture them using formidable power after finding them, gradually shaping them to serve your purposes. With Mr. President’s skills, as long as you find their weaknesses and then control them, it shouldn’t be difficult…”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try,” the President said, casting an unexpected glance at Duge, and asked, “What about you? What is your role in the plan?”

“To manipulate everything from the shadows, to provide timely stimulation, guiding those players who like to hide to emerge. When Mr. President doesn’t know how to deal with those game players, I will offer the most rational advice.”

Duge said with a smile, “Honestly, I am already a veteran game player. I am quite confident in manipulating the progress of the entire game, to steer it in the direction we hope for…”

“That’s it?” the President frowned again.

“Well, my keyword is trendsetter. I can help motivate the young people of Green Star to take an active interest in learning about Mecha,” said Duge. “Green Star needs an idol to stand out and inspire those despairing youths.

Just as I am doing now, Mr. President, as long as Kill One Every Ten Steps is excellent and strong, more people will aspire to Mecha and dive into the study of various Mecha tactics and technologies.

I could also use my experience from participating in so many games to help improve and design Mecha.

Of course, don’t get your hopes up too much. Each world’s level of scientific development varies, and it’s likely that even the parameters governing the world differ, so I can’t guarantee definite results.”

“I understand,” Mr. President nodded, “Anything else?”

“If one day I become powerful enough, I will join the battle and fight against the Hill civilization,” Duge said. “That should suffice, shouldn’t it!”

“Anything else?” asked the President.

“Mr. President, I have shown enough sincerity,” Duge said with a slight frown. “I am here to cooperate, not to be exploited by you.”

“Lin Hong, I was just joking,” the President laughed. “I agree to cooperate with you, but do you have anything else to add about the game players?”

“Protect yourself,” Duge looked at the President and said seriously. “In past games, many players awoke abilities that could influence minds, and many people were unwittingly controlled by them and then exploited.

“Before we are certain whether the game players have such capabilities, I suggest all the high-ranking officials take precautions. Important meetings should be held over the war network, to avoid direct contact with them as much as possible.

“Also, don’t take them lightly; the game players will disguise themselves.

“For the final victory of the game, they may take desperate risks. Not everyone is as friendly as I am.

“In short, be cautious, cautious, and then cautious.”

“I will be careful,” the President assured Duge, nodding gravely. “Mr. Lin Hong, is there anything I can do for you?”

“Help me conceal my identity. That will be enough,” Duge replied.

“Are you interested in working at the core?” the President asked. “You are smart and very knowledgeable about the game players, it would be fitting for you to set up the so-called National Defense Bureau…”

“Mr. President, while I can indeed establish such a department and am confident I can do it quickly and well, can you really trust me?” Duge interrupted him, asking with a smile.

The President was taken aback.

“Not even I trust myself,” Duge shook his head and said. “That’s why the shadows are the best place for me.

“Mr. President could even have someone monitor my every move and, if you detect any behavior of mine that is detrimental to Green Star, have me killed at any moment. You could also secretly support another power to check me, making everyone feel at ease.

“No matter what you do in secret, Mr. President, it won’t bother me.

“Because, in time, everything will prove itself.

“My goal is to win the game, not to be an enemy of this world.

“Genuine goodwill for goodwill, Mr. President. I’ve shown the greatest kindness to Green Star, so I hope not to face your malice.

“You know, a veteran who has survived several games always has a few life-saving tricks up his sleeve.”

Duge looked at the President and said softly, “Moreover, Green Star can’t afford internal strife or outside threats.”
