Chapter 366: There isn't much time left for others
"Interesting little fellow, an ant who can't even guarantee his own survival, yet still thinking about what we, the audience, want to see. Good job, you deserve a reward!"
"I strongly suggest Pan-Universal Entertainment add an alliance mode in the next Alien Star Battlefield. I want to see it."
"Du Ge keeps surprising me more and more. He single-handedly revitalized 'Resource Game.' This guy truly caught my eye. @Pan-Universal Entertainment, if he's not in the next Alien Star Battlefield, I won't watch it."
"Such an interesting soul. @Pan-Universal Entertainment, if he ever dies, please sell his soul to me."
"Sell it to me. I'll definitely offer a higher price than the guy above."
"What's the point of saying this on the forum? I suggest we hold an auction."
"Such an interesting soul shouldn't be privately owned. My suggestion is that if he dies, put him into the body of a native on some Alien Star Battlefield, give him a keyword, and let him reincarnate with his memories. It would be fascinating to see how he deals with the Alien Star warriors."
"I agree with the suggestion above."
"I suggest that in the next Alien Star Battlefield, we can designate the keyword. Isn't he performing for us? Give him a trash keyword and see if he can still make it work."
"Isn't 'loyalty' trash? Yet he still played it to the top. The other people in the Alien Star Battlefield are idiots; not one of them thought to assassinate Luo Shuang."
"With his operations, even we couldn't tell his keyword was 'loyalty.' The ants in the Alien Star Battlefield couldn't see it either."
"They say that in this Alien Star Battlefield, the will of the planet intervened, and Du Ge got lucky by aligning with the child of destiny, Luo Shuang. Next time might not be the same. Random keywords are Pan-Universal Entertainment's specialty; there's no need to give him a trash keyword on purpose..."
...
On the forum of Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Du Ge's words ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and the audience was fervently discussing.
Bai Long looked at Du Ge on the monitor, resting his chin on his hand, and murmured softly, "What exactly gives you such a unique mindset?"
During this period, he reviewed all the playback records of Qi Yuan Star but found no connection to the zodiac.
And after watching Du Ge's experiences in the Simulation Field, he discovered even more doubts, but he kept the investigation results to himself.
After all.
Du Ge counted as his achievement.
For now, as long as Du Ge doesn't mess up too badly, he has a great chance to get promoted because of him. So, exposing Du Ge's secrets wouldn't benefit him at all.
Of course.
It wouldn't benefit the company either.
The hype around Du Ge is too high. No matter what happens to him, the company will likely protect him unless the audience gets tired of him.
So, let's just say the will of the planet is helping Du Ge!
However, Bai Long still decided that when Du Ge returned, he would personally examine his soul. He could keep Du Ge's secrets, but he had to understand what was happening to him.
...
Not to mention the hot topics Du Ge sparked outside the Alien Star Battlefield.
The accompanying singers and musicians alone numbered over ten thousand. Wherever the army went, local officials had to prepare provisions in advance, or face execution.
Kingdom Chu also showed signs of unrest, but the King of Chu seemed oblivious, lost in the pleasures brought by Wu Tong, neglecting state affairs entirely.
...
Ma Shichun, the governor of Beihai Kingdom, couldn't sit still after reading the latest Linyang Daily.
That very day, he rode into the capital with a people's umbrella, recommending himself as the prime minister of Beihai Kingdom to lead reforms.
...
Wei Jiuchou of Qingwu Kingdom, after eliminating the Beggar's Sect domestically, returned to the capital and immediately petitioned for an expedition to Chongming Kingdom.
Duke Dingguo, feeling threatened by Luo Shuang's seizure of half of Chongming Kingdom, readily agreed, mobilizing 400,000 troops and appointing Wei Jiuchou as the commander to invade Chongming Kingdom.
Shortly after Wei Jiuchou set out, Duke Dingguo received news of Pei Ma'er killing the Emperor of Chongming and ascending the throne.
At that moment.
Duke Dingguo, sitting on the dragon throne, turned pale and sat in a daze for a long time before ordering his men to secretly summon all grandmasters in Qingwu Kingdom to the capital for protection.
He had personally handed over 400,000 troops to Wei Jiuchou. If Wei Jiuchou rebelled like Pei Ma'er, the newly acquired kingdom would change hands again.
Changing hands was a minor issue; losing his life was a major one.
Yet Duke Dingguo dared not revoke Wei Jiuchou's military command.
At this moment.
Duke Dingguo suddenly regretted having Wei Jiuchou eliminate Qu Liandong.
Keeping another wave of Heavenly Demons in the country to balance Wei Jiuchou would have stabilized his throne, possibly even allowing him to use both sides against each other. Now, it was too late for regrets; he could only hope Wei Jiuchou would leave this world after eliminating the other Heavenly Demons as he claimed.
These Heavenly Demons were too terrifying!
For a moment, Duke Dingguo even fantasized that if he hadn't usurped the throne, the headache would be someone else's, specifically the Emperor of Qingwu.
...
Meanwhile, Huli Xian, who had fallen from eighth to tenth place, sat quietly in his tent for three hours after reading the latest Linyang Daily, then suddenly took off his golden robe and rode into the vast grasslands, never to return.
Two days later, the news spread.
Huli Xian's name quietly disappeared from the top ten list, replaced by Wu Chang.
From then on, Luo Shuang's Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends occupied half of the top ten, mirroring her conquest of half of Chongming Kingdom.
Alien Star warriors from planets other than Qi Yuan Star felt an even greater sense of crisis, flocking to the highest-ranked person from their own planet.
Except for Wu Chang's Valley God Planet.
Finally, someone from their planet made it into the top ten, only to be under Leng Shi's command. Not a single Alien Star warrior from Valley God Planet believed he was one of them!
