"They're out, they're all out."
"No need to think, they must have been completely defeated."
"In less than a month, the simulation field is over. It should have set a record!"
"It's all Feng Qi's fault. Who knew he would flip the table? Once the keywords were exposed, no one could play anymore."
...
After leaving the assessment field, a group of people surrounded them outside, pointing and discussing the early end of the simulation field and Feng Qi flipping the table.
It was clear that everyone was full of resentment towards Feng Qi flipping the table.
Being criticized by everyone, it ended without any result.
Du Ge involuntarily shrank his neck, feeling a chill on his back.
"He did." Du Ge said.
He looked around at the environment. It seemed like an ordinary school here.
There were students of similar ages wearing neat school uniforms. The school uniform had the name of No. 42 Middle School printed on it. The blue sky, white clouds, and green trees provided no indication of an apocalyptic world. The construction materials of the buildings seemed to be bricks and stones, giving no hint of advanced technology.
"You guessed right." The round head snapped his fingers and put his arm around Du Ge's shoulder. "We can only watch the replay tomorrow. Do you want me to tell you about the final battle process?"
"Sure, let's talk in the dorm. There are too many people here." Du Ge smiled and naturally gathered information. He needed to understand Du Ge's social network at least.
"Alright, I'll tell you as we walk." The round head said. "By the way, what's your keyword?"
"Maintenance." Du Ge said.
"No way!" The round head widened his eyes and then laughed. "Well, Feng Qi is so fierce. There's no way the keyword could be maintenance. But you're really unlucky, actually colliding with Feng Qi's keyword."
No one believed that he was Feng Qi. It seemed that the original owner of the body didn't have good grades!
With such outstanding results suddenly, would it raise suspicion?
Du Ge pondered to himself. "What about you? What's your keyword?"
"Vengeance for every grievance." The round head said.
"Not bad, Longzi." Du Ge was stunned for a moment and asked, "With such a cool keyword, how did you get eliminated?"
"The person I possessed was a weakling who was constantly bullied in a small mountain village. His health was not good, and he had a weak personality. Anyone could step on him. He couldn't take it anymore and jumped into the river, but someone saved him. However, he developed a high fever and was on the verge of death."
The round head shook his head and sighed. "What a great start! The whole village was the enemy. With the help of the keyword, I could have taken revenge one by one and grown rapidly. But then Feng Qi flipped the table, exposing all the candidates' details. And I happened to fit the conditions he mentioned, so the villagers discovered me, and I was eliminated. It's really an undeserved disaster."
Another person offended.
Du Ge muttered in his heart.
"What about you? How were you eliminated?" The round head asked.
"I wasn't eliminated." Du Ge said.
"Almost forgot, you only came out after the simulation field ended." The round head laughed. "You're stronger than me. At least you enjoyed a few more days inside the simulation field. Who did you possess?"
"A companion from a small family." Du Ge said, telling the truth since he would watch the replay anyway.
"Having the identity of a maintenance worker and a companion is not bad for a start. No wonder you managed to survive until the end." The round head didn't associate Du Ge with Feng Qi at all.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the dormitory.
Du Ge looked at the door number: 106.
Inside the room were two beds, and the bookshelf was filled with various books.
Du Ge scanned through them. Most of the titles were related to performance and keywords, such as "Psychology of Performance," "Character Analysis," "Self-Cultivation for Actors," "Definition and Extension of Keywords," "Dictionary," "Basic Laws of Mental Power Training," and so on.
There were two desks in the dormitory.
On one of the desks was a piece of paper with Du Ge's basic information:
Name: Du Ge;
Mental Power: 35;
Male Character Attribute: 70% pass rate;
Female Character Attribute: 30% pass rate;
Positive Keywords (Compatibility Value 20%): Brave (15), Sacrifice (Compatibility Value 12), Kind (30)...
Negative Keywords (Compatibility Value 70%): Paranoia (50), Evil (40), Greed (60)...
Neutral Keywords (Compatibility Value 30%): Happiness (30), Indecisiveness (8), Embarrassment (7)...
Overall Score: 80 (Good)...
This paper should record the usual assessment results.
However, it was surprising that there was a distinction between male and female character attributes in the pass rate, which caught Du Ge off guard.
Come to think of it, just like the rule that you can't enter the exam room after fifteen minutes, there should be a time limit for body possession. It's not easy to find the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. When the time comes, regardless of gender, the priority should be to survive and then consider other factors!
But why is the mental power 35?Du Ge clearly remembered that when he first crossed over, his mental power was 60, almost double this number.
Could it be an overlap?
Did his mental power overlap with the original Du Ge's?
If this explanation is considered, it wouldn't be strange that he has two keywords. One keyword belonged to the original Du Ge, and the other keyword was his.
The Simulation Field must have bugged out because he possessed the body of the original Du Ge!
This also explained why Peacekeeping and Backstabbing, which are conflicting, did not decrease his attributes.
The Simulation Field probably calculated the rewards separately according to two people, two keywords, but he and the original Du Ge shared the same body, so the separately calculated rewards were concentrated on one person...
So this was the origin of his golden finger!
Du Ge suddenly realized.
On another table, there was information about Big Head. His stats were similar to Du Ge's, except his mental power was a few points higher, at 38.
At this point, Du Ge also learned the name of his roommate with the big head, Gao Ming.
Du Ge casually picked up a notebook on the table and opened it. The first page was written in bold strokes:
1: Don't let others know your keywords;
2: Don't trust anyone;
3: Moderately disguise your keywords;
4: Try to blend in as much as possible, don't try to change the world. The more you expose, the faster you die;
...
Du Ge had just read a few lines.
Gao Ming snatched the notebook from his hand and casually threw it on the table, saying, "The exams are over, why are you still reading this? The fact is, once you're in the Simulation Field, it all depends on individual performance. These things are useless. The new tactics developed by the Elite Academy are probably the real deal. I guess, Feng Qi's unexpected table flip this time is to verify their new concept..."
What new concept!
I simply don't understand the rules, okay?
Du Ge muttered in his heart, reached out to grab the notebook again, but before he could open it, the dormitory phone suddenly rang.
Gao Ming walked over, picked up the receiver: "Hello? Teacher Hu! Du Ge is to come to see you, okay, I got it, I'll send him over right away."
After saying that.
He put down the receiver: "Old Du, Tiger wants you to go see him, about the grand finale, we'll talk when you come back."
Who the hell is Teacher Hu?
Du Ge was stunned for a moment, looked at Gao Ming, and said, "Gao Ming, come with me!"
"Tiger asked for you, not me, I don't want to see Tiger's stinky face." Gao Ming climbed onto the bed, impatiently said, "The whole class has been eliminated, he has been nagging for several days, I guess this time he wants to ask about your situation in the Simulation Field?"
Du Ge said, "Old Gao, this time might be different, I'm a bit nervous."
"Why are you nervous? He's not a real tiger." Gao Ming said, "At most he'll nag you a bit..."
"Gao Ming, I am really Feng Qi." Du Ge said seriously, "This time I might have messed up."
Thump!
Gao Ming fell off the bed.
