World's End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 310: A single move affects the whole situation

Chongming Kingdom, Minister's Mansion.

On the desk of the over-fifty-year-old Prime Minister Shi Chuiping were all the materials related to Luo Shuang, as well as a collection of folk stories about her.

Shi Chuiping stroked his beard and smiled at the strategist across from him, "Yizhi, another one has popped up. This Mr. He, who claims to be Luo Shuang's master and stirs up trouble, is definitely possessed by an Alien Star warrior."

The strategist replied, "His theory of celestial beings doesn't sound like something from Qi Yuan Star. His keywords might be strategy, manipulation, or rumors. It's harder to guard against people's mouths than rivers. Now that the rumors have spread, it's impossible to stop them. I highly suspect he has already awakened an advanced skill."

"Then let's use the simplest method to lure him out and kill him," the Prime Minister chuckled. "Isn't that princess trying to borrow troops to restore her kingdom? Spread the word that I intend to support her revenge and have her come to the capital for detailed talks."

"Prime Minister, isn't that a bit too direct?" The strategist frowned, "He probably won't fall for it."

"Direct is exactly what we need," the Prime Minister smiled. "Give her five days. If she doesn't come to the capital, we'll issue a public announcement saying that Princess Luo Shuang has been possessed by the Heavenly Demon. Fight rumors with rumors. Arrest her directly and strip her of her princess status. In the current situation, whoever sticks their head out gets hit..."

"Prime Minister, we already have control over the major situation in Chongming Kingdom. Do we really not need to use a code to bring Du Laoda here?" The strategist didn't put much thought into Luo Shuang and hesitated for a moment before asking, "The tactics given to us from above are to cooperate with Du Ge!"

The Prime Minister glanced at him and said, "The nation's tactics are that whoever holds power, the others cooperate with them. It doesn't necessarily have to be Du Ge. It's been almost ten days, and there's been no news from Du Ge. He might have already fallen or received bad keywords. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have caused a huge commotion by now.

The sudden change in the rules of the Alien Star Battlefield is not friendly to anyone. The mortality rate is so high, and Du Ge is not omnipotent.

I have only awakened one advanced skill so far, and the imperial teacher has been watching us, looking for our weaknesses.

In the current situation, it's not suitable to bring more people over. Bringing too many people might be detrimental to us. It's better to learn from Du Ge, eliminate everyone, end the Simulation Field quickly, get the resources, and return to Qi Yuan Star. We need to distinguish between primary and secondary tasks."

He paused, "Yizhi, it's already lucky that the two of us met at the start. We've managed to take the initiative with great difficulty, and we can't afford any more complications. Outside of Chongming Kingdom, there are six other countries. Our current power is still too small. The fear is that other Alien Star warriors might get lucky.

When we truly become powerful, it won't be too late to think about protecting the people of Qi Yuan Star. Besides, the name of the Heavenly Demon has already been leaked. If our people are smart, they should come to us on their own..."

...

A single move affects the whole situation: The trend you set in motion will become an unstoppable torrent. Going with the flow will yield twice the result with half the effort, while going against it will yield half the result with twice the effort.

Du Ge looked at his newly awakened skill and let out a long breath. Finally, he had a skill. It wasn't easy.

The loyalty skill had never appeared.

Du Ge thought it might be because he wasn't famous enough.

Looking at Earth's history, those with the loyalty tag were mostly people who had made great contributions to their country and people, leaving behind a reputation that people admired and sang praises of.

Although Luo Shuang had gained some momentum because of him, that fame was superficial. She hadn't done any real deeds.

Even the Fourth Princess didn't have much fame, let alone him, an unknown small figure.

Moreover, even the Fourth Princess probably didn't think he was a loyal minister.

Pan-Universal Entertainment had changed the rules, making it much harder to get skills.

However, after creating some momentum for Luo Shuang, he unexpectedly got a trend skill.

According to the skill description, this skill didn't boost personal combat power but gave him a 200% increase in major trends.

In simple terms, it meant he created the main storyline.

Going with the flow and going against the flow.

It seemed a lot like the dichotomy between the Jie Sect and Chan Sect in the Investiture of the Gods.

The Jie Sect was strong, and the Chan Sect was weak, but in the end, under the push of many behind-the-scenes forces, the weak defeated the strong, following the mandate of heaven and completing the dynastic change.

Twice the result with half the effort?

Du Ge pondered.

If it meant what he thought it did, he could create more trends, making himself the true child of destiny, turning misfortune into fortune, and even finding secret manuals after falling off a cliff.

After all, those who go with the flow will achieve twice the result with half the effort, not just adding buffs for him.

But others, not knowing he had this skill, couldn't possibly follow all the trends he created. Only he could.

Stacking all the buffs on himself was an exciting thought...

There were still 1,025 Alien Star warriors in the Simulation Field. After a brutal massacre, everyone had gone silent.

Those who could participate in the Alien Star Battlefield were all smart. No one would stick their neck out to test the blade, and the elimination rate had slowed down drastically.

After creating the princess storyline, Du Ge's attributes had increased significantly, and his rank had jumped to 42.

In the past, this would have been a safe number, allowing him to sit back and watch the battles unfold.

But now, except for the first place, the remaining ranks had no reference value. Anyone could be swept away by the major trends.

...

"Master, do you also think that my leading troops is like a hen crowing at dawn?"

In a cave on Panlong Mountain, Luo Shuang looked at Du Ge, her expression gloomy.

Du Ge was organizing his equipment, planning to take advantage of the night to bring Dragon Fang to his side.

He was severely lacking in manpower. Wu Chang, the fool, couldn't handle things on his own.

The local gentry he had recruited along the way were good for gathering grain and troops and raising funds, but they were useless in actual combat. Even in spreading messages, they were amateurs, and Du Ge had to teach them how to hide their actions step by step.

If left to their own devices, the carefully laid plans would likely be uprooted by the officials of Chongming Kingdom.

But Dragon Fang was different. The assassins were skilled in assassination and disguise. Unless an Alien Star warrior with special skills was involved, it would be impossible to trace the mastermind.

"Princess, what are you thinking?" Du Ge didn't expect Luo Shuang to be troubled by this and glanced at her, saying, "What I taught you is independence, self-reliance, and self-strengthening, balancing yin and yang, all indispensable. Have you forgotten all that and only remembered the hen crowing at dawn? Those were just to create momentum for you. Otherwise, if you were unknown, no one would invest in you..."

"I understand, Master," Luo Shuang forced a smile, "But I don't want to marry."

"Then choose a child from your Luo family's collateral branch to adopt," Du Ge said casually.

"In my time of crisis, the collateral branch of the Luo family sat by and watched. Adopting from their family would be an insult to my father and brothers," Luo Shuang's face darkened.

This won't do, and that won't do.

What exactly do you want?

Du Ge glanced at her and thought, if pushed, I'll create a parliamentary system for you.

He looked at Luo Shuang and shook his head, saying, "Princess, we are just starting. Thinking about those things is too far off. When you ascend the throne, it won't be too late to think about heirs. Don't let these future matters disturb your mind. Wu and I will go deal with Dragon Fang. Stay here and don't go out."

"Okay," Luo Shuang looked at Du Ge with a hint of resentment and nodded, "Master, be careful."

"Nothing will happen," Du Ge smiled, called Wu Chang, and left the cave, heading straight for the mountainside.

Wu Chang glanced back at the princess, shook his head, and followed Du Ge.

After walking about a hundred meters out of the cave, he couldn't hold back and reminded, "Sir, I think the princess means she wants to have a child with you."

What the hell!

Du Ge paused, recalling the princess's gaze. It did seem like that, but it could also be that she wanted to use emotions to bind him to her.

Using beauty to achieve goals is a talent every beautiful woman has.

A woman who grew up in the royal family and was taught by him couldn't be thought of as too simple.

Wu Chang laughed, "Sir, haven't you noticed? These days, you've been strategizing for the princess, shielding her from the wind and rain. The princess has become increasingly dependent on you."

With your kind of thinking, you'd be eaten alive by a woman without knowing how you died, Du Ge snorted inwardly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I am the imperial teacher, loyal to the princess and Qingwu Kingdom. I must not ruin the princess's reputation. Wu Chang, don't mention this again."

Straight man!

Wu Chang sneered and said no more.

He gripped his long sword tightly, not wanting to get involved in the natives' emotional affairs.

He had possessed an old man, so he probably had no luck with women. Focusing his energy on the Alien Star Battlefield was more important.

These days, his attributes had hardly improved. Fighting Dragon Fang was his only chance to increase his attributes.

If he couldn't awaken a skill through this, he wouldn't know how to proceed.

Without skill support, relying solely on attributes, he was inferior to the natives.

Wu Chang glanced at Du Ge secretly and thought, to be precise, he was far inferior to the natives.
