World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 243: Wang Chong in the eyes of others

Wang Chong, the correct answer excluded by Luo Cang and others, was guarding outside the capital with five Void Refinement realm cultivators from the supervisory institution and Dan Cong, whose arms and legs had been reattached, waiting for the supervisory enforcers returning from various places.

With the addition of Zheng Tingwen and others, the power under Du Ge's command grew even stronger.

Zheng Tingwen and his group had rested at the Medicine Immortal Sect for nearly three days.

During this period,

Du Ge was not idle.

He took Chen Da and traveled to various supervisory branches near Danyang City, continuing to promote the stock issuance of the Seven Stars Sect.

He also used the resources of the supervisory institution to conquer several small cultivation sects similar in power to Tianlan Valley, such as Tianfeng Sect, Jiuxiao Cave, and Qiushui Valley, and brought them under his command.

Then,

He sent Tianlan Valley disciples, who were already familiar with the Seven Stars Sect's operational model, to these sects to oversee their public listing and fundraising plans.

Wang Chong was a Void Refinement realm expert, and with a wave of his hand, he could enhance their powers. These small sects were eager to join him, each wishing they could become an accessory and attach themselves to him.

Wang Chong was a Void Refinement realm big shot, an existence they looked up to. The occasional scraps from his hand were enough for them to strive for a long time.

You should know that the famous large sects wouldn't even glance at them on a normal day.

With the overt support of the supervisory institution, the covert power boost from Wang Chong, a mature experience template, and the image of timely tax payment...

The sects promoted by Wang Chong raised funds at an incredibly fast pace.

Huge amounts of silver flowed into these sects and were spent even faster on various projects.

Du Ge had to spend the wealth he plundered; he was a raider, so why would he keep the money and wait to be raided by others?

Money that is in circulation is real money; it can improve everyone's quality of life.

Once the economy, driven by a debt model, starts rolling, it ties everyone to his ship, even the state won't let him fall. If he falls, it would be a disaster of volcanic proportions...

The wealth that swept in exponentially boosted Wang Chong's attributes.

With Wang Chong's current physical robustness and recovery speed, wounds inflicted by others healed almost at a millisecond rate. A slash would come, and before any blood could flow, the wound would have healed.

It was even more exaggerated than the recovery ability of a liquid metal robot.

Of course,

With such a large territory, it was inevitable that alien star warriors were hiding within.

But at this point, Du Ge couldn't be bothered with them anymore.

The disciples of the supervisory institution and Tianlan Valley, the sect leaders, they were all Du Ge's eyes.

They could hold back without issues, but the moment they dared to act, his network of clues would operate, and within minutes, they would be completely eradicated...

...

Before the model of Danyang City was promoted,

Many alien star warriors were only speculating about the situation through rankings. When Wang Chong swept to their doorsteps, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

To the point that they didn't know how to respond!

Economy? Trade? Management?

His keywords were too obvious, right?

Is this what happens after becoming number one, just giving up?

An economy that expands so wildly could collapse in minutes if a large force intervenes...

You can indeed use the wealth of the people to hold the state hostage?

But for alien star warriors, what does the wealth of ordinary people count for? Even if the whole world died, they wouldn't care...

If they bring down your economy, your attributes plummet, how will you play then?

Want a quick battle? How could that be possible?

Thus,

The alien star warriors within Du Ge's territory watched Wang Chong's antics like watching a clown, even investing their wealth into it, adding fuel to Du Ge's attributes.

They were just waiting for someone who couldn't bear it any longer to pull the rug from under him. As glorious as Du Ge was now, the more miserable he would fall when the economy collapsed...

Of course,

Some weren't just waiting around; they collected information about Wang Chong and the Seven Stars Sect through various means and spread it out in the most covert way.

The theory of Wang Chong's threat quietly spread in the world.

They wanted to see if any fools couldn't resist making a move on Wang Chong...

If someone made a move, it would be even more entertaining.

...

Aside from Du Ge openly and boldly developing his power,

Other alien star warriors were secretly making small moves, waiting for the first person to take the bait, waiting for Wang Chong's grand collapse...

In others' eyes, Wang Chong was a fool, arrogant, a target...

In Wang Chong's eyes, others were a bunch of fools, useless, shrinking turtles...

...

After Du Ge left, his first patient, Chang Kui, for the sake of his own abilities, finally coaxed a sick cultivator with a higher realm than his to the Medicine Immortal Sect.

However, because Du Ge was not there, his realm could not be improved, so he could only be settled down for now.

But, he saw the great changes in the Medicine Immortal Valley. In just a few days, all the physicians and patients of the Medicine Immortal Valley had reached the peak of their respective realms.

In other sects, this would be impossible.

But in the Medicine Immortal Sect, that was the confidence Du Ge gave to Chang Kui.

He was absolutely certain that one day, he too could cling to Wang Chong's coattails and soar...

And the sick cultivator he brought, once lying on the bed marked with "Forbidden," never got up again.

No matter how he cursed, everyone turned a blind eye.

They had seen many like him; as soon as Wang Chong returned, a few surgeries would make him obediently become one of their own...

The people of the Medicine Immortal Sect had self-awareness; without Du Ge's skill in quickly and harmlessly removing organs, they wouldn't perform surgeries on patients themselves. They still retained some medical ethics and were not completely tainted by Du Ge.

Du Ge's "Seven Stars Technique" had long been abandoned by everyone; enlightenment was for geniuses. As for them, having the junior brother was enough...

...

Outside the capital,

Du Ge spent a fortune to purchase a manor to serve as a temporary hospital.

With the help of Zheng Tingwen and other insiders, none of the Void Refinement realm supervisory enforcers returning from various sects could escape Du Ge's recruitment.

With enough talents under his command, Du Ge no longer had to take risks and make calculations as before.

Moreover, this time he was dealing with enemies of the same realm, which made it even easier.

Catching up, ambushing, stripping, amputating limbs, transferring power, brainwashing, the whole process was seamless.

Every cultivator Du Ge encountered eventually became his ally.

Without exception.

However,

Du Ge still left them some dignity, choosing to act on a desolate mountain outside the capital.

After dealing with the supervisory enforcers who were out on missions, Du Ge's number of Void Refinement realm experts expanded to 20.

Then, he took a few of them back to the capital, lured out the Void Refinement realm experts residing there, and with the exception of the elders dispatched elsewhere, Du Ge captured all the Void Refinement realm experts of the supervisory institution in one fell swoop.

Next, he had the Void Refinement realm elders summon the Divine Transformation realm experts...

In just two days, except for the Body Fusion realm head of the institution who was still in seclusion, and the Elemental Infant and Golden Elixir realm workers whom Wang Chong no longer cared for...

Du Ge had captured the middle and upper echelons of the supervisory institution of Yan Country, effectively controlling it.

With practical actions, he confirmed what he had told Zheng Tingwen, that he would leave the head of the institution with no one to use.

Watching Du Ge's operations, Dan Cong was dumbfounded.

Seeing the abundance of talents under Du Ge, he suddenly felt that Du Ge's vision might indeed be achievable; his strength and power were expanding too rapidly.

It had only been a little over two months!

Most of the top ten were still inner disciples!

Du Ge could already mobilize the resources of a country's supervisory institution.

Before entering the Alien Star Battlefield, Dan Cong had watched many replays of the battlefield, and no one had ever managed to roll the snowball as big as Du Ge did in the first three months.

His loss was not unjust.

Even if Du Ge hadn't targeted him but had started with the supervisory institution, he would still have been unable to escape, perhaps even more easily than the last time he was captured.

After all,

Du Ge's actions were too covert, too efficient.

Most people simply couldn't react, even the powers in the capital didn't notice the changes in the supervisory institution.

Let alone the alien star warriors.

They would only find out that Du Ge had started a Seven Stars Sect shareholding, not realizing that Wang Chong had already taken over the entire supervisory institution, with his identity on the leaderboard still that vague Medicine Immortal Sect disciple.

Being high-profile in part, hiding a larger part of his strength, that was the highest level of survival strategy!

Watching Du Ge's maneuvers, Dan Cong felt as if his own thoughts had been unlocked.

If he had the chance to return alive, he would definitely promote Du Ge's experience as a template for everyone to learn...

In the future, the way of the Alien Star Battlefield would likely change.

As for the Body Fusion realm head of the supervisory institution, Dan Cong had thought of him as an unattainable existence just a few days ago, but now he just seemed like meat on Du Ge's chopping board, ready to be cut up and reassembled into one of his own at any time...

Now, Dan Cong no longer harbored thoughts of being Du Ge's enemy. Du Ge was both arrogant and cautious; he couldn't stir up any waves, not even if he learned to write with gold.

He only hoped that Du Ge would truly keep his promise and reserve a top ten spot for him.
