Chapter 103: 103 He who understands the times is a great man_1

“Qi Feihu, you son of a bitch, if I get the chance, I’ll kill you.” Understanding his fate, Yao Tong cursed loudly as he fought off the cats and dogs pursuing Duge.

In the simulation field, being forced to be someone else’s bodyguard meant he would never be able to surpass Duge no matter how hard he tried.

Such a miserable truth was downright despair-inducing.

“Yao Tong, how dare you curse Brother Hu? I’ll kill you later,” Huang Mao chased closely behind Yao Tong, defending Brother Hu’s honor.

“You idiots, Qi Feihu is just like me, a Heavenly Demon, and he bought your loyalty with a meal. And you’re still speaking up for him; you’ll die without knowing how you died!” Yao Tong laughed bitterly in anger, trying to awaken Huang Mao and the others who had been deceived by Duge.

“Bullshit! Brother Hu just risked his life to save us; we’re willing to be loyal to him,” Gu Kun said.

“Yao Tong, you’re a despicable person. Brother Hu spared you again and again, yet you slander him behind his back and try to sow discord between us and Brother Hu,” Gu Kun stated.

“Fools, look back at the wounded. They should be bandaging themselves right there, but instead, they’ve come to save your ‘dear Brother Hu.’ Do you think that’s normal?” Yao Tong said with a cold laugh.

Gu Kun was stunned. Glancing at his own still-bleeding wound and then at those seriously injured subordinates who still persisted in coming over to help Brother Hu fight off the mutant cats and dogs, he suddenly fell silent. Many were badly hurt, and running around like this could kill them.

“Can you stop?” Yao Tong asked.

Gu Kun and the injured tried to stop themselves, only to discover they couldn’t, no matter how hard they tried. It was as if they had lost control over their own bodies.

In an instant, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Had Brother Hu truly been possessed by the Heavenly Demon?

No wonder.

No wonder Brother Hu’s behavior had been so abnormal since yesterday. When had a rough man like him ever thought about starting a company?

The more they didn’t want to think about it, the stranger it seemed to Huang Mao and the others.

“Heavenly Demon, give me back my Brother Hu!” Gu Kun roared in grief and fury, “Give me back my freedom.”

“Everyone but Yao Tong, rest in place, that’s an order.” Duge’s voice suddenly came through, and Gu Kun and the others, who had no control over themselves, immediately regained control of their bodies.

Loyalty signifies honesty, diligence, and obedience.

But Gu Kun and those who had stopped had grim expressions on their faces. They looked at Duge and then at Yao Tong, feeling a chill in their hearts. Even ruffians didn’t want to be completely controlled by someone else like puppets.

“Yao Tong, hurry up and save your president; it’s time for you to show your loyalty.” Then, Duge gave Yao Tong a new command. By his own power, he could indeed kill these mutant cats and dogs, and moreover, the tenfold increase in combat strength worked quickly.

But he made a dismal discovery: when he took it upon himself to kill these mutants that bullied his kindness, his attributes dropped.

In other words, the Honest Man’s Rage’s tenfold increase in combat strength came at the cost of his attribute points.

Of course.

The attributes that dropped were the ones that had increased due to the keyword “kindness.”

But that wasn’t right either. It was hard enough to improve attributes, and to lose them every time they were used in an outburst, how was one supposed to play the game?

Were kind people supposed to endure hits without fighting back, insults without retorting, letting others butcher them at will?

Does fighting back mean you’re no longer kind?

What kind of bullshit ruling is that?

Lucky for him, he had two keywords. If he had only one, purely “kindness,” he probably would never have had a chance to rise in this simulation field.

Maybe there was one method, which was to use kindness to move everyone, and then, at the end, unleash the Honest Man’s Rage and take everyone with him before his attributes ran out.

But the chances of that were too slim.

After all, those who survived to the end would be strong figures. Who knows how high their attributes might be or what kind of absurd skills they might have developed!

A bunch of villains, how could they possibly allow a kind person to win in the end?

Perhaps it was the way he farmed kindness that led to the emergence of such strange skills.

But ultimately, a keyword like “kindness” still clashed with his personality.

The rules of the simulation field were too cruel.

…

“Qi Feihu, you fucking dog, I’ll kill you sooner or later.” Yao Tong chased after the cats and dogs with red eyes and cursed Duge furiously; being controlled by Qi Feihu meant he was just like a pig raised by Qi Feihu, with no future. Why care about anything else?

“Yao Tong, if the lord wishes his servant to die, the servant must die,” Duge laughed, “Have you heard this phrase before?”

“If I have to die, I die. Am I supposed to be scared of you?” Yao Tong roared.

“If the lord wants his servant to eat shit, the servant can’t help but eat shit,” Duge added.

“…” Yao Tong stalled, eyes glaring, “Qi Feihu, don’t go too far.”

“Why be polite to you invaders from another world, the Heavenly Demons? If I didn’t think you were still useful, I would’ve killed you a long time ago,” Duge sneered.

“Aren’t you also a Heavenly Demon?” Yao Tong said with a disgruntled laugh.

“I’m not; I’m Qi Feihu, I’ve always been Qi Feihu,” Duge snapped, “That Heavenly Demon you’re talking about, I devoured him long ago. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be able to control you.”

“Pretending, still pretending!” Yao Tong sneered, “You’ve been exposed, what’s the point in continuing the act?”

“Believe it or not,” Duge said, “After devouring that Heavenly Demon, I took over his powers of trade. Otherwise, what do you think I established a company for?”

He laughed wildly, “I must say, the powers you Heavenly Demons possess are just freakish, even loyalty can be bought. Sooner or later, I will buy the loyalty of the entire world, make you damn Heavenly Demons serve me, and help me conquer the world…”

“…” Yao Tong watched the delirious Duge and sneered endlessly; if he were to be fooled again at this point, he’d be a complete idiot.

“Gu Kun, Huang Mao, don’t be scared, I’m still your Brother Hu,” Duge said, looking towards Huang Mao and the others, “What can be bought can also be sold. Wait for Brother Hu to catch other Heavenly Demons and buy their powers, then I’ll sell them to you. Together, we’ll conquer the world. Eventually, I will be the Chairman controlling everything, and you’ll all be the big managers under me. You won’t miss out on any benefits that are due. So what if you sell your loyalty to me? If you’re not loyal, would I dare to promote you?”

“Brother Hu, you really haven’t been body-snatched?” Huang Mao asked.

“Nonsense, if I had been body-snatched, would I care who any of you are?” Duge replied, “Take this Yao Tong for example, does he care about you guys? Without me protecting you, Yao Tong would’ve killed you already, just based on his speed. Which one of you can beat him?”

“…” Huang Mao was taken aback for a moment, “Brother Hu, do you remember how the two of us met?”

“Huang Mao, when was it your turn to question me? If you don’t want to roll with me, just get lost,” Duge retorted, shutting him down immediately.

“Brother Hu, my bad,” Huang Mao smiled sheepishly and stopped talking. He suddenly woke up from the scolding; does it really matter whether the other party is Qi Feihu?

Having sold his loyalty and not being in control, the other party had offered terms and was willing to keep them in the game. Wasn’t that enough?

In this apocalyptic world, if his boss were still Qi Feihu, that would be the real tragedy. He couldn’t see a speck of a future; they might be killed off by the starving people in the underground garage the next day when the food ran out.

Heavenly Demon, not so bad!

…

Trade?

Yao Tong believed Duge’s key word right then and there.

After all.

His loyalty had truly been sold; even if it weren’t through trade, it must be related to control.

He just didn’t know what kind of advanced skill this guy had developed to be so frightening?

If he really could steal the abilities of other players, sticking with him seemed not too bad…

His loyalty had already been sold to him; Qi Feihu keeping him was much more beneficial than killing him.

Plus, now that he knew his key word, he couldn’t possibly sell him any other valuable things, could he? He could help eliminate other players; even if he couldn’t rank first, securing second or third place was also fine!

Weren’t Feng Zhong and Wang San brought up by following Duge?

Why be the leader of the pack?

Since Qi Feihu wanted to play the native, let him play to his heart’s content…

Damn!

Directly taking over Qi Feihu, could it be that this guy really was Duge?

It was said that the top rank of the simulation field received a reward of spiritual power…

A spark of inspiration struck Yao Tong, and suddenly, he thought of this possibility. His heart raced as he sneaked a glance at Duge, deciding to take a gamble, “Brother Hu, you really haven’t been body-snatched?”

Duge glanced at him, commending him for knowing the current state of affairs, and said, “As you said, Heavenly Demons can only take over the old, weak, and sick. I’m so strong; how could I possibly be body-snatched? It’s only about me devouring them…”
