Chapter 537 - - 477 Arsonist of the Heart_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Looking at the skill that had inexplicably awakened within him, Duge comforted himself. Well, it’s a good thing if the opposite sex admires me; it provides cover for “Iron Man Tender Feelings”. It won’t be hard to explain once I’m off the Alien Battlefield…

No, that’s not right!

Duge froze for a moment, then snapped to his senses.

The skill mentioned the opposite sex!

The opposite sex refers to a person of a different gender, which seems to be a rather broad definition!

He’s a man; women are the opposite sex to him, as are transgenders. Although Bai Long looks like a man, who knows what species he is—he’s an alien!

If aliens count as the opposite sex, then the people of the Xi’er civilization in the universe should also be considered the opposite sex to him!

Moreover, the definition of association seems just as broad.

Nalan Li is associated with him, Ying Fei is associated with him, and those who are persistent in tracking his identity on the battle network should also be considered associated with him!

Even those opposite-sex beings who want to kill him must be associated with him, right?

This is…

A divine skill to turn enemies into allies!

Duge subconsciously pursed his lips. No way, he couldn’t possibly be this lucky!

He glanced at Fan Lie through the rearview mirror inside the car.

Fan Lie’s skill could help others fuse with different objects. If Fan Lie integrated a Mecha into his body, would he still be considered a man?

If he’s neither man nor woman, would everyone in the world start showing “Spring Heart is Sprouting” towards him?

Duge shook his head to rid himself of this terrifying thought. He couldn’t imagine a world where every intelligent being was in heat for him, nor did he trust others to use their skills on him.

Better safe than sorry.

It’s already enough that members of the opposite sex, other than men, take a liking to him.

…

Apart from Nalan Li, the three Alien Warriors in the car could tell what Duge was gesturing, but none of them considered the possibility that he had awakened a new skill.

All the way, Duge did nothing but drive. Even if his keyword was driving, he should have shown off some drifting or other stunts while on the road, right?

Who just wakes up with a skill while simply driving? Therefore, it’s highly likely that he was checking how many people were left on the Alien Battlefield.

“Brother Lin, how many are left on the battlefield?” Ying Fei blinked and struck up a conversation with Duge.

In this battlefield, Lin Hong was younger than Ying Fei, but her call of “Brother Lin” was extremely natural. After all, Duge’s combat achievements spoke for themselves; calling him “brother” was only fitting.

What was most crucial was that Ying Fei was very eager to know Duge’s keyword. How could he dare to let them develop their own people without summoning a warrior from Qiyuan Star?

What kind of strength and confidence must one possess to make such a decision!

Without figuring out Duge’s keyword, Ying Fei always felt a bit uneasy. Curiosity is often the beginning of friendship and love, and she was completely unaware that she had been affected by the skill.

It wasn’t just her. Next to her, Xin Tianyang and Fan Lie also didn’t notice anything amiss, especially Fan Lie. His obsession with Duge’s keyword had him on edge.

Of course, what he thought about more was controlling Duge. So, to lure over more helpers, he did not even mention Duge’s name.

Men’s names cast long shadows.

Duge used to be a good advertisement.

But in the face of the rule that only the top three are recognized, Duge had become a disaster star.

Fan Lie guessed that this might be why Duge kept hiding his identity. Letting others know that they were associated with Duge would most likely make them steer clear as far as possible.

“1403,” said Duge after glancing at the remaining number of participants.

Since entering the Alien Battlefield, ten days had passed. Aside from those who failed to possess bodies at the very beginning, only thirty to forty people had been eliminated in ten days. It had to be said that, with the battle network of Green Star, the conflicts between Alien Warriors and the natives were relatively mild.

Keywords like slaughter and brutality could be transferred from real-life to a simulated world, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Conflicts between Alien Warriors would inevitably arise. Once those who grew up through the battle network stepped into reality, the damage they could cause would be immense.

“Still 1,403 people left?” Nalan Li heard the two’s conversation and woke up as well, quickly powering on her mini-computer to note down this figure. This was the first time she had learned the exact number of players.

“Brother Lin, I heard from Tianyang that you plan to organize a huge bet between Xi’er civilization and Green Star. Do you have a specific plan?” Ying Fei ignored Nalan Li and continued to look at Duge with a smile as she asked.

“Not at the moment,” Duge sighed inwardly as he observed Ying Fei suddenly becoming enthusiastic. “We have to sort out the Alien Warriors within Green Star first before we can consider the war between Xi’er civilization and Green Star. More than a thousand and four hundred people is just too many.”

“Oh.” Ying Fei responded, then asked, “Brother Lin, will you take action to eliminate them?”

“I would like to, but I would need the capability. I’m not Duge after all,” Duge said with a smile, “Even Duge relies on team power, never going it alone. Once all your people are assembled, I might even be begging you to spare my life!”

Ying Fei grinned, “Brother Lin is joking. Only a confident person can be fearless and let us perform freely. Otherwise, you would have eliminated us the moment we met. If I’m not mistaken, you’re ranked number one right now, aren’t you?”
