“Several Suggestions for Optimizing the Phantom Linking System”

“Simplified Modifications for the Wolf Walker Mech Plugin System and Skeleton”

“Optimization Suggestions for the Flaws Caused by the Flamingo Transmission System to the Defense System”

“Material Modification Suggestions for the Night Owl Mech Transmission System and Skeleton”

…

One paper after another was thrown out.

From beginner Mechas to high-end Mechas, with charges ranging from low to high, the price to read a paper on high-end Mechas like Night Owl was directly set by Duge at five thousand War Net Coins.

Backed by the National Strategic Defense Bureau,

Duge could easily get funding just by opening his mouth, but every extra person increased the risk of exposure.

So, Duge never intended to make money from Luo Yan.

Now, with many matters on his hands, he didn’t have much time to compete on the Battle Network and win War Net Coins. So, he still needed to rake in the money.

After all, knowledge is priceless, so how could Duge let them freeload off his intelligence?

…

“Greedy for money, aren’t you?”

“Only idiots would spend money on this worthless stuff.”

“I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.”

“The Doubter speaks the truth, he’s just faking knowledge. It’d be okay if he discovered flaws in one or two models of Mechas; I can admit he has talent. But to suggest improvements for every Mecha from beginner level to the latest models, he’s fooling ghosts, right?”

“Other than Sea Swallow, he probably hasn’t even seen any other Mechas!”

“This is purely delusional; I almost believed he was a genius.”

“Kill One Every Ten Steps has the skills, why not just be an honest top pilot? But this time, he’s lost all the goodwill of the bystanders.”

…

“The Most Arrogant Clown in History——Ten Steps to Kill One Person”

“Watch how one person becomes a joke from an online celebrity in the shortest time”

“Shocking! Ten Steps to Kill One Person has done such a thing in the Mecha design module?”

…

Many who were eager to jump on the bandwagon, without even looking at the content Duge published, crafted a headline and sent out the recent events.

Suddenly.

Kill One Every Ten Steps was once again a hot topic online, only this time, it was for infamy rather than fame.

Even more people learned about what Duge had done in the Mecha design module and started to mock him.

After all, in the eyes of most people, those mature Mechas were already set in stone.

Unless there was a technical breakthrough, further optimization was deemed impossible, especially not by an amateur.

So, even after the news of Duge scoring full marks and setting a record as an intermediate designer came out,

Most still saw him as a clown seeking attention, without any verification, and lashed out at him.

Even the combat record Duge had with Sea Swallow was questioned, with people saying he didn’t want to be a top pilot because he didn’t have the ability to ascend further. Hence, he chose another path, aiming to replicate his past path in the Mecha design module, only to end up completely disgraced.

…

In the Mecha design module, there were also many designers willing to use facts to smash someone down.

Not wanting to be fooled by a charlatan, they actually purchased Duge’s articles and planned to modify the Mechas according to his methods.

Then they’d nail him to the pillar of shame forever, and meanwhile, ride the trend to fatten their own wallets. This could be the last bit of warmth contributed by Ten Steps to Kill One Person.

…

Even with mature plans in place, adjusting Mechas took time. Duge ignored the hotheads barking wildly on the Battle Network.

After sending out all his papers, he went offline and contacted Nalan Li.

“Lin Hong, what are you doing? Can’t you rest easy without stirring up trouble?” Nalan Li was aware of what Duge had done on the Battle Network. Her voice contained a bit of helplessness. “Do you know the Strategic Defense Bureau has just been established and I’m very busy?”

“Without making a splash, how am I to help you find gamers?” Duge chuckled. “Nalan, locate the one called ‘The Doubter’ for me. I suspect he’s a gamer. Keywords might be doubt, refute, nitpick, lead, and so on. He’s riding on my fame online, leading a rhythm. He’s likely to awaken abilities and gain a surge in attributes. I must take care of him quickly. If his abilities are related to public opinion, it could cause a disaster.”

Since the first simulation scenario with Feng Zhong, skills that controlled public opinion were top-tier, with the ability to ignite conflicts in minutes.

Such keywords could cause chaos, and compared to public opinion skills, attack and defense skills, while powerful, posed much less danger to society.

“All right, I’ll give you the results in a bit,” said Nalan Li.

…

After severing contact with Nalan Li, Duge turned his attention back to the hot topics on the Battle Network.

The top videos in the Battle Network rankings were all related to him, mostly damning. Everyone’s attention focused on his attention-seeking behavior, not caring about the romantic things he had said.

It could be said his attempt to farm the romantic skill completely failed.

The second skill, being low-key, didn’t emerge either. Duge sighed softly. His main keyword restrictions were too great.

Being low-key comes out in contrast.

Now, since most people on the Battle Network didn’t recognize quality, he had become a negative figure, with hardly anyone caring who he was in real life. The attributes of being low-key weren’t increasing much, let alone romantic.
