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

Chapter 299: Loyalty and trend

```

Rules can change at any time?

Du Ge looked at Bai Long, unsure whether to feel happy or sad. Qi Yuan Star had been fighting on the Alien Star Battlefield for two hundred years, and the rules had never changed.

He participated once and disrupted everything.

Moreover, from what Bai Long said, whether the rules changed or not depended on him...

After all, Bai Long had baited him earlier, using the promise of freedom to get him to participate in all future Alien Star Battlefields.

If he really came in first every time, the audience would eventually get bored, but changing the rules would be different.

Under different rules, if he could still win every time, not only would the ratings go up, but the casinos would also make a fortune.

Pan-Universal Entertainment was doing everything they could to make things difficult for him, squeezing every bit of value out of him...

Du Ge suspected that as long as he could still make money for Pan-Universal Entertainment, these bastards might even cancel the age limit of 25.

Slave masters never pity their slaves.

...

However.

This might not be a bad thing for him.

People from other planets had been playing the Alien Star Battlefield for who knows how many years; they knew all the tricks and keywords inside out.

He could surprise them once, maybe twice, but after that, people from other planets would come up with countermeasures.

He couldn't possibly fight against the geniuses of nine planets all by himself.

But changing the rules meant bringing everyone to the same level. All their previous experience would be useless, and with his two keywords, his chances of winning would greatly increase.

...

After leaving Bai Long, Du Ge, prompted by his assistant, lay down in the Alien Star Battlefield login device, not giving himself any chance to communicate with others.

Communication was useless anyway.

They couldn't influence any decisions made by Pan-Universal Entertainment.

The countdown of five, four, three, two, one ended.

When Du Ge opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed. He had entered someone else's body, finding himself in a deep forest.

Towering trees surrounded him.

Branches and leaves gathered, blocking the sky, with only a few rays of sunlight piercing through the gaps, falling to the ground covered with dead leaves and scattered corpses. The air was thick with the smell of blood.

The person he had possessed held a long sword, his body covered in wounds, especially a gaping wound in his abdomen, bleeding profusely.

Pain.

Excruciating pain.

He pressed one hand against the wound, but it couldn't stop the bleeding.

A warm current flowed through his broken body, but it was close to the point of no return, and that little bit of warmth was useless.

Due to excessive blood loss, his head was already spinning, as if he could collapse at any moment.

In front of him stood a similarly injured woman.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with black hair and blue eyes, her body also covered in wounds. She held a dagger, her eyes filled with determination and hatred...

Though she looked like she could fall at any moment, her cold gaze seemed to tell Du Ge that if he took another step, she would take him down with her.

...

At the same time.

Du Ge received the memories of the person he had possessed.

His name was Leng Shi, an assassin raised by an organization called Dragon Fang since childhood, trained in various high-intensity assassination and combat techniques.

He usually carried out assassination missions.

Once he completed a certain number of tasks assigned by the organization and upgraded to a Heaven-level assassin, he could leave the organization and live the life he wanted.

This time, his mission was to assassinate the fugitive princess Luo Shuang of the Qingwu Empire.

But due to underestimating the combat strength of the princess's guards, his team of fifteen had chased her all the way to the Misty Forest, and now he was the only one left.

On the other side, all of Princess Luo Shuang's guards had also been killed.

Both sides had suffered heavy losses.

...

Damn it!

What kind of start is this?

The random body possession method is too cruel. With his high mental power, he would never choose a severely injured assassin in any situation!

This start was even worse than the first one.

However.

Looking at the corpses around him and the defiant princess in front of him, Du Ge felt a bit relieved. At least he hadn't possessed the princess's body.

Otherwise, it would have been even harder for him.

The personal interface floated before Du Ge's eyes, and he looked up:

Name: Du Ge

ID: 48699527

Mental Power: 153000

Current Rank: 1364/2325

Keywords for this round: Loyalty

Keywords for this round: Trend

Advanced Skills: None

Derived Items: None

Loyalty?

Trend?

His mental power had increased by 30,000, probably thanks to that drink from Bai Long, but Du Ge was more concerned about the keywords. Looking at the two keywords, his already dizzy head spun even more.

Loyalty: Sincere and unwavering; synonyms: faithful, devoted;

Trend: Movement caused by tides; direction of popular trends; trend of social changes and developments; distribution of voltage, active power, and reactive power in the grid; synonyms: fashion, thought trend;

They gave him these two random keywords, are they kidding?

Loyalty to whom?

Loyalty to the organization?

He didn't even know who the leader of the organization was now?

And what's the point of being loyal to an assassin organization? In any story or movie, assassin organizations are just cannon fodder, never making it to the end.

As for trend, how could he influence trends in this situation?

At this moment.

Du Ge felt the deep malice of Pan-Universal Entertainment towards him.

He felt that Bai Long did it on purpose, giving him difficult keywords to hinder his rapid rise.

However.

The immediate priority was to heal his wounds.

Otherwise, there was no point in thinking about developing the keywords; he would die soon anyway.

And the most direct way to heal was to use the keywords.

Du Ge looked at the defiant and wary princess in front of him and suddenly sighed, "Fourth Princess, if I told you I was here to save you, would you believe me?"

Princess Luo Shuang said nothing, gripping her dagger even tighter.

"I am an undercover agent planted in Chongming Kingdom by General Si Chen of the Zhaoyong Army," Du Ge said, taking a few steps back and putting away his long sword.

Having memories had its advantages; it made the start less passive.

Luo Shuang was fleeing because Duke Dingguo of Qingwu had rebelled, killing the emperor and the crown prince.

General Si Chen had died in the defense of the capital, making him a loyalist with no evidence to the contrary, ensuring his loyalty to the royal family.

Assassin organizations were also intelligence organizations, generally aware of major events in various countries.

Luo Shuang snorted coldly, "Don't think you can deceive me like this. If you were General Si Chen's undercover agent, why did you kill all my guards?"

"Your whereabouts were leaked by them. I wasn't sure who among them was the traitor, so I killed them all to ensure your safety to the greatest extent."

Du Ge smiled bitterly, "Princess, think carefully. Why did the assassins chasing you and your guards end up killing each other, leaving only the two of us? It was all my deliberate guidance. Unfortunately, I wasn't skilled enough and got seriously injured myself, even causing you to get hurt."

He knelt on one knee, clasping his hands, "Please forgive me, Princess."

Princess Luo Shuang was stunned.

Du Ge threw his long sword to the ground and collapsed. He bit his tongue, letting a trickle of blood flow from the corner of his mouth, and said with difficulty, "Princess, I intended to have the assassins and your guards kill each other, then protect you and help you avenge General Si Chen and the emperor.

But now, as you can see, I am dying and can no longer protect you. You must flee on your own. I know you still don't trust me. After all, I killed many of our own. After I finish speaking, you can kill me to avenge your guards or ensure your safety. I deserve it.

But if one day you have the chance to restore the kingdom, please tell General Si Chen at his grave that I did not disgrace him. Tell him my name is He Xu.

Tell General Si Chen that I never betrayed Qingwu Kingdom, never betrayed him. I was born a man of Qingwu Kingdom, and I will die a ghost of Qingwu Kingdom.

I am He Xu, not Dragon Fang's Leng Shi..."

Du Ge's voice grew weaker, but his gaze towards Luo Shuang became gentler. Tears flowed down his face, "Princess, I only regret not being able to personally kill the traitor and avenge General Si Chen! If I can't kill the traitor, I will die with regret..."
