Chapter 107: 107 Creating the World’s Number One Charity Company_1

Simulated environment?

Feng Jiu, Feng Qi?

Gu Kun and the others felt they had heard something incredible.

But they didn’t know what these things specifically referred to, just like they didn’t know why flora and fauna mutated.

At this time, being alive was the most luxurious thing, and nobody would go out of their way to probe the secrets behind these matters.

Brother Hu was already dead, and inside the body of Brother Hu in front of them was an extremely vicious person.

They certainly didn’t want to follow in Brother Hu’s footsteps……

“Gu Kun, do you still believe in me?” Duge looked at Gu Kun and asked.

“Yes, Brother Hu just risked his life to protect us, Brother Hu is the person we trust the most.” Gu Kun was shaken, hastily putting on the most sincere smile on his face, as if the person before him was still his Brother Hu.

“I just bought the keyword ‘mockery’ from his body. Do you want it?” Duge smiled and asked, pointing at the scratches on Gu Kun’s arm from a cat, “With this keyword, if your words and actions follow the keyword, maybe you could become a Superman like Yao Tong!”

Gu Kun suddenly froze.

Bao Benwei clenched his fist tightly, with a teeth-gritting stare at Gu Kun, as if saying that’s my keyword, you dare to want it, I’ll kill you.

Yao Tong almost drooled with envy, that’s a keyword after all, are you giving it to a native? Even if you can’t use it, it’s good to sell it to me!

Huang Mao and the others also cast envious glances at Gu Kun, but they honestly didn’t dare to compete with him.

They wanted the keyword too, but Brother Hu was no longer their Brother Hu, the scene where he effortlessly killed the mutated cats and dogs, seemed to still linger before their eyes, and nobody dared to act rashly in front of such a powerful figure.

“Yes, of course I want it.” Gu Kun snapped out of it, nodding repeatedly, but soon he remembered something and cautiously asked, “Brother Hu, what price do I have to pay?”

“Price?” Duge thought for a moment, then said, “How about ten points of spiritual power?”

Body-snatching is essentially a battle of spiritual power.

As mentioned earlier, an adult’s spiritual power is around 30, which is why the examinees would choose the old, weak, sick, and disabled with feeble spiritual power for body-snatching, to ensure a higher success rate.

That is to say, the characters in the simulated environment do have spiritual power.

Since everything can be traded, Duge certainly wanted to exploit this loophole.

As for other things, such as emotions, knowledge, love, kinship, and the like, Duge hadn’t even thought about trading them. He had once sold loyalty, and Yao Tong and others’ loyalty directly affected him.

What if the other party’s feelings, such as joy or anger, also overlaid onto him? These excess emotions, who knows what consequences they might bring?

After all, aside from keywords and advanced skills, not even loyalty was marked as a special item.

Some risks are better left untaken!

As for things like luck or strength, which, if increased, are not of major consequence, it might be worth trying…

“Brother Hu, how much spiritual power do I have in total?” The Transcendent was tempting, but since it involved something as intangible as spiritual power, Gu Kun felt he should be more cautious.

“Under normal circumstances, about 30 I guess!” Duge said.

“What will happen if I lose 10 points?” Gu Kun asked.

“You might find that your attention is not focused, and you may often feel sleepy, I guess!” Duge thought about it and said.

After weighing his options for a moment, Gu Kun ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation to become a Superman: “Brother Hu, I’ll buy it.”

The trade was completed in an instant.

Duge felt a jolt in his spirit, his attributes increased, and the tradable keyword “mockery” vanished from the item bar. His spiritual power also went from 160 to 170.

However, there was a new note behind the spiritual power value, stating it included 10 points of temporary spiritual power.

Damn!

Duge had a dark line on his forehead, sighing inwardly, sure enough, the simulated environment was meticulous, and unlike his own BUG, there were no loopholes to exploit!

“Brother Hu, can spiritual power be traded?”

“Brother Hu, is it done?”

Yao Tong and Gu Kun’s voices rose simultaneously.

“The trade is possible, but it’s temporary,” Duge looked at Yao Tong and said, “If you want it, I can sell it to you.”

This sentence wasn’t meant for Yao Tong; it was for the teachers outside to hear.

Otherwise, in case they got the wrong idea while watching the playback, and they sent him directly to the Alien Battlefield, that would really be a case of ‘a loss disguised as a gain.’

“No need.” Yao Tong shook his head. So far, Duge’s deals had never been at a loss. Buying a few points of temporary spiritual power from him, who knows what it would cost? Not worth it!

Bao Benwei breathed a sigh of relief, thankful it was temporary. If spiritual power could be bought outright like that, there’d be no point in anyone else participating in the next simulation battle.

…

“Brother Hu, did I buy it?” Gu Kun yawned, visibly drowsy, “Why don’t I feel any ‘key words’ at all?”

As expected.

Selling ‘key words’ to the natives doesn’t transform them into players.

Duge chuckled and patiently instructed Gu Kun, “Just mock and ridicule others like he did, and that should be sufficient.”

Gu Kun was taken aback, then scanned the people around him, finally fixing his gaze on Bao Benwei, before flipping him off, “You pretend to be the Heavenly Demon, but you’re nearly killed by us. You’ve totally lost the face of the Heavenly Demon. With how you are, old man, living is just a waste of air…”

That’s my ‘key word’!

A native had turned it around and targeted him specifically. Bao Benwei felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. Eyes bloodshot, he glared at Gu Kun, thinking he was seen as an easy target. Just wait, he wouldn’t dare mess with Duge, but did he really think he wouldn’t retaliate against him?

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Sooner or later, he’d make Gu Kun spit out the attributes he had stolen bit by bit.

Having lost his ‘key word’, his rank had turned to a clean slate, but still existed.

Now, his only way of growing was to kill other contestants. Since the native possessed his ‘key word,’ theoretically, killing him should grant inheritance of his attributes.

…

And sure enough.

Having the ‘key word,’ one also possessed the characteristics of that ‘key word.’

After mocking Bao Benwei, the bloody wound Gu Kun had suffered from the cat’s scratch visibly healed at a rapid pace.

Seeing this, Brother Hu’s eyes nearly popped out as he kept licking his lips.

Thrilled, Gu Kun leapt and shouted, pulling out a machete and waving it wildly, babbling, “Brother Hu, my strength has increased as well. Thanks, Brother Hu, thanks Brother Hu, those 10 points of spiritual power, totally freaking worth it…”

“Keep it up, and you’ll become even more powerful,” Duge encouraged with a smile.

“Yellow Hair, I’ve been meaning to talk to you. Being ugly is one thing, but then dyeing your hair yellow? Do you think that makes you look intimidating? It just makes you look stupider!” Gu Kun, tasting success, quickly switched his target, pointing at Yellow Hair’s forehead and finding creative ways to bolster his power.

“Enough, Gu Kun,” Yellow Hair pushed his arm away, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, “Aim that at the other guy, and if you take this chance to mock me again, I’ll kill you.”

“Hey, Yellow Hair, don’t be so petty. I’m a Transcendent now too. Brother Dog has the power to protect you, right? Just endure it a bit!” said Gu Kun with a grin, “This is a superpower Brother Hu sold me, meant to create great value for Brother Hu. If you kill me, the first one who won’t forgive you is Brother Hu himself.”

Then, he looked around at everyone, bowed with his hands clasped and said, “Please be understanding, everyone. What I say next might be too much, but it’s all for leveling up, not my true intention! With the power, I’ll get food for you all.”

“Manager Gou, it’s trade, it’s procurement, not robbery,” Duge chuckled and corrected him, also turning to the crowd, inspiringly said, “Everybody doesn’t need to envy Manager Gou. There’s more than one Heavenly Demon. If I buy ‘key words’ from them in the future, I’ll continue to sell them to you.

After all, our company is a collective; with good stuff, naturally, we digest it internally first. In these chaotic times, only if the employees are strong can the company compete with others. As long as we work together and risk for the company, everything will come. Let’s strive to ensure within six months, every employee of the company can get a ‘key word.’ Even if you don’t get one, I can still purchase the power from others and sell it to you, turning you into Supermen as well.”

The prospect of everyone becoming a Transcendent instantly ignited everyone’s ardor.

…

“Thanks, Brother Hu.”

“Whatever Brother Hu says, we’ll follow, no second words!”

…

Duge raised his hand to press down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile, “But for now, please keep it a secret that I can buy and sell ‘key words.’ If it gets out, other Heavenly Demons will become cautious and it will be difficult to make deals.

Moreover, it’s not easy to encounter a Heavenly Demon, we still have to focus on expanding our business.

After all, we need more trading partners. The bigger the market size, the more people there are doing business with us, the stronger we will become. That way, we can save more people. And one more thing, stop calling me Brother Hu from now on, we run a legitimate company, not a gangster group…”

Nearby.

Bao Benwei’s eyes looked so mournful they were nearly bleeding.
