Chapter 188: Be a dark horse

Chapter 188: Be a dark horse

It's not that being low-key is wrong. Qi Yuan Star has survived for two hundred years through such means, and naturally, they have their reasons.

Du Ge is not rigid. He knows when to be high-profile and when to be low-key.

This mainly depends on the Keywords he's assigned and the advanced skills that derive from them.

Nan Youlong says he's impulsive and impatient.

But Du Ge knows he's never been reckless. Every move he makes is at the most advantageous moment for himself. To be precise, he's good at seizing opportunities.

Although he doesn't quite agree with the Qi Yuan Star warriors' understanding and application of Keywords, Du Ge still settles down to watch videos from many different worlds.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

(Proofreader: The phrase "知彼知己,百战不殆(Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated)" originates from the ancient Chinese military treatise, "The Art of War," written by Sun Tzu during the Spring and Autumn period. This phrase means that if one fully understands both the enemy and oneself, one can be invincible in any battle. It emphasizes the importance of in-depth knowledge of both parties in warfare for achieving victory. )

Watching videos is also a way to understand your enemies.

After all.

The Alien Star Battlefield is a matter of life and death, and one can never be too careful.

Moreover, through their experiences, watching the operation and culture of different worlds can also be very educational.

After studying many videos, Du Ge realizes that in some worlds, one must be low-key out of necessity.

For example, worlds with a complete system of gods and spirits.

Once these divine beings make a move, their power is earth-shattering, and not something an ordinary person can contend with after just a year or two of development.

In such worlds, one can only lie low until the big shots take action and eliminate the top ten.

Surviving until the end of the Simulation Field is a success.

And sometimes, even lying low doesn't guarantee success.

You might be lying low and suddenly become a target for a Demon Head looking for human lives to practice their skills on; if you're lucky, you might become a tool for their practice; if you're not, you might not even know how you died...

In those worlds with advanced technology, where spaceship battles erupt in the cosmos and weapons can destroy half a planet with a single shot, that's truly an untimely death...NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

The more videos Du Ge watches, the more he realizes why the death rate on the Alien Star Battlefield is so high. The Simulation Field is child's play compared to the real thing.

And he's increasingly shocked by the Pan-Universal Entertainment's practice of broadcasting real-life shows for profit, proving that there are many civilizations on par with it.

This universe is too terrifying.

No wonder the people of Qi Yuan Star have given up. If Earthlings encountered such advanced civilizations, they would probably be powerless...

Nan Youlong is right. Gaining a few more skills in the Simulation Field is useless; these experiences are more helpful for survival.

***

During this time.

"This is the Pan-Universal Entertainment's assessment field," Nan Youlong stands outside the base, giving Du Ge the final introduction. "I don't have the authority to go in. Go ahead by yourself; someone will receive you inside."

Alright!

The Simulation Field is indeed not the real world; the assessment pod is too rudimentary.

Seeing the massive structure, Du Ge mutters in his heart, nods, says goodbye to Nan Youlong, and heads straight for the assessment field with his nameplate.

Outside the assessment field, a round robot flying up and down scans his body and nameplate. Once his identity is confirmed, Du Ge is led to sit on a floating chair and enters the base.

Along the way.

Du Ge sees many young people like himself, sitting in floating chairs, curiously looking around.

Soon, Du Ge realizes that his path is different from the others.

In this strange alien base, he has no control and can only let the chair carry him forward.

The floating chair passes through corridors and doorways, and finally through a light screen, abruptly arriving in another world filled with birdsong, green grass, rivers, mountains, and beautiful scenery, like a fairyland...

From a place full of technology to a world brimming with nature, Du Ge is astounded. This must be the so-called space technology, incredibly impressive.

Then, his gaze falls on a young man fishing by the river.

Someone from Pan-Universal Entertainment?

In the next instant.

Du Ge's vision blurs, and the floating chair that was in mid-air suddenly appears by the riverbank.

Show-off!

Du Ge's mouth twitches involuntarily. Hua Guyun actually wanted to Body Possess such a person. Ridiculous!

"Du Ge, hello. I'm Bai Long, the head of Pan-Universal Entertainment's Qi Yuan Star branch," the young man says with a warm smile, putting down his fishing rod and extending his hand to Du Ge. "Of course, that's my name on Qi Yuan Star. My real name isn't convenient to share."

"Hello." Du Ge steps down from the chair and shakes his hand.

"I was impressed by your performance in the Simulation Field. I've never seen a native worlder cause the Simulation Field's AI to crash by their own ability," Bai Long says, admiring Du Ge as they quickly release hands. "So, I personally named you to join the Alien Star Battlefield, hoping you don't mind."

Under someone's roof, one must bow their head.

Du Ge smiles: "It's an honor."

Seeing through Du Ge's thoughts, Bai Long chuckles: "Don't be dissatisfied with me. I truly see potential in you. I specifically called you here to tell you something: perform well on the Alien Star Battlefield. I've placed a heavy bet on you. If you can take first place, in addition to the Simulation Field's rewards, I'll give you some extra prizes within the rules."

Du Ge is stunned.

"Kid, you don't think we really live off viewership, do you?" Bai Long looks at Du Ge with a smile. "The betting on each Alien Star Battlefield is our company's biggest revenue. So, give it your all! Be the dark horse that shocks everyone.

Of course, if you can boost Qi Yuan Star's viewership, the company's rewards won't be small either. Mental power is a good thing..."
