Chapter 105: 105 Everything is Tradable_1

I need to hasten the trade process and quickly improve my attributes.

The old man’s sneak attack gave Duge a strong sense of urgency; even if there are a few people in the End World, it’s still a modern setting.

In such a world, there are guns and cannons. The old man almost got him with just two pistols—what if he had been holding a rifle or a sniper rifle with a longer range?

He would’ve been dead by now!

Thinking of this, Duge felt wave after wave of fear. If he had those nearly invincible attributes from the simulation field, where he could sense anything within a kilometer, how could he have allowed the old man to get close?

Indeed.

In the simulation field, one good keyword is everything.

Trade is too weak in the early stage.

The old man’s keyword must be something akin to taunting or provocation, right?

That irritating trash talk must be some skill like the Tongue of Right and Wrong…

Skills like that are most suitable for the early game. In later stages, they are easily killed, which is probably why he took to hunting so proactively.

…

Huang Mao and the others stared at the old man lying in a pool of blood and at Duge, who had erupted in a moment and slain the mutant cats and dogs. They looked at each other, saying nothing.

It was then that they truly realized how powerful Heavenly Demon was.

They glanced at Yao Tong with lingering fear. Had it not been for Brother Hu’s presence, Yao Tong probably wouldn’t have let them get the better of him.

At that moment,

Yao Tong, who had been healing in a bizarre pose with his underwear on the outside, also stood up. Aside from bloodstains, there was not a single wound on his body. Gu Kun and Huang Mao instinctively hid behind Duge, as if they could only find a sense of safety by Duge’s side.

While Duge went to kill the remaining mutant cats and dogs, the old man who had his jaw knocked off kept mumbling unclearly, “Is that all? Is that all? Six slashes didn’t kill me; even the old ladies are stronger than you…”

At the same time, he struggled to raise a middle finger with one hand.

Following this series of actions, his injuries were also slowly healing, and he was almost not bleeding anymore…

…

Duge looked at the old man struggling on the ground, squatted down, and inadvertently stepped on his raised middle finger, then grabbed his cheek, “What did you say? Louder, I can’t hear you clear!”

His finger was stepped on!

The old man let out a pained “Aaah” scream.

With his cheek pinched, he couldn’t make a sound, and the wounds that were healing just now immediately stopped.

Duge chuckled and let go of his cheek, “Old man, I’m a businessman. Let’s make a deal. How about you sell me your keyword in exchange for your life? You sell me your keyword, and I’ll let you leave.”

“Dream on,” the old man drooled as he spoke, “Without the keyword, what’s the point for me to even play!”

“Don’t see it that way. If I kill you, you won’t be able to play either!” Duge laughed, “Why not give yourself some hope? You know, a keyword is fundamental. What if it can’t be traded? Brother Hu is kind, giving you a chance at life. Don’t fail to appreciate that; to live, that’s when there are chances. Kind people like me are rare!”

“…” Yao Tong’s pupils suddenly narrowed, staring at Duge, repeatedly convincing himself in his mind, it can’t be, it can’t be, Qi Feihu must just be doing an experiment, how could keywords be traded?

Trading away the keyword means the examinee is done for, the simulation field wouldn’t allow such a thing!

“Are you really willing to let me go?” the old man asked unclearly.

“I’m willing to risk my life to protect these ordinary people, so why wouldn’t I for you?” Duge smiled, “Besides, do you have any other cards to play? Why not take a gamble that I am indeed kindhearted?”

“What are you offering in exchange?” the old man asked after a moment of silence.

“Your life, of course. Your life is in my hands, you’ll trade it for your keyword,” Duge corrected, “It’s not an exchange, it’s a trade.”

“Isn’t that the same thing? Only idiots like them could be fooled by you,” the old man took the chance to mock, as his wounds healed, “Trading my life for my keyword, what a good deal you’re thinking of!”

Duge’s foot, pressing down on the old man’s finger, exerted a little more force, “If you keep playing smart, this deal will be off! You don’t want to be eliminated in less than two days, do you?”

All fingers are connected to the heart.

The old man sweat coldly and quickly said, “I’ll sell, I’ll sell.”

As soon as the words were out,

the old man’s injuries suddenly healed.

Duge’s attributes soared sharply, and the personal panel in front of him flickered.

He stood up and opened his personal panel.

Seeing Duge’s action, Yao Tong curled his lip, still pretending to be a primitive, how could a primitive have a personal panel? But seeing the old man’s injuries suddenly heal, he also became curious as to whether the keyword was successfully traded, “Brother Hu, did it work?”

Duge didn’t speak.

The old man who had also opened his personal panel began to shriek hysterically, “What the fuck, why have I become a blank slate? What advanced skill did you use to even steal my keyword?”

“…” Yao Tong suddenly froze, and in an instant, his face turned very ugly, and he involuntarily took a step back.

Duge ignored Yao Tong and stared at his own personal panel in a daze.

He didn’t gain an additional keyword but acquired a new advanced skill:

Everything is Tradable: The bold get the yield, nothing is untradeable (if it makes money, you can even sell the rope to hang yourself);

Beneath this skill, there was a note: “Special merchandise: Keyword ‘mockery’ (tradable, not for personal use).”

He never thought he would actually buy the keyword.

Duge was shocked but also filled with regret; such a good keyword couldn’t be sold to himself?

“Brother Hu, what was his keyword?” Yao Tong still couldn’t believe that Duge really bought the keyword and asked tentatively.

“Mockery,” Duge shook his head and smiled, “Making fun and mockery, this guy deliberately avoided our vital points just now, intending to mock us to increase his attributes. Little did he know that he’d not only failed to gain anything but also lost out instead.”

He really bought it!

Yao Tong swallowed hard and remained frozen in place.

“Bastard, give me back my keyword.” The old man’s eyes were red as he lunged forward trying to choke Duge, but Duge kicked him away.

“Old man, our deal has already been made; if I catch you again, that will be another trade,” Duge kindly reminded.

“Without the keyword, I’m already done for, what do I care about another trade?” the old man gasped for air and glared at Duge, “Give me back my keyword, and I’ll become your subordinate.”

“Dream on; I don’t do losing business,” Duge glanced at him and laughed, “You could, however, sell me your advanced skill for the price of becoming my subordinate!”

“In your dreams, I would rather die than trade with you again,” the old man roared with fury.

“Don’t be so impulsive,” Duge shook his head and smiled, “Without the keyword, keeping the advanced skill is useless. Sell it to me, do some good karma; what if I find another keyword in the future and am willing to sell it to you? After all, you are my first customer who sold me a keyword; I could even bestow upon you the title of ‘lucky customer’ for free.”

“Go to hell with your lucky customer; do you think I’m an idiot like him?” the old man pointed at Yao Tong and shouted angrily, “Unless you’re willing to trade another keyword with me, I prefer death…”

“Sorry, but I get to set the prices,” Duge shook his head, “Really not selling? As my subordinate, you could stay by my side and watch me trade other people’s keywords! This is a great chance to observe and learn up close, and since you don’t have much prospects anyway, don’t you want to see others go berserk after their keywords are stripped away? Maybe if you say some nice words to please me, I might help you climb into the top ten when I finish off someone else!”

“…” The old man stalled and suddenly fell silent.

“Brother Hu, you can’t keep the keyword for your own use?” Yao Tong asked timidly.

“One keyword is enough for me; what do I need so many keywords for?” said Duge.

So, he really couldn’t use it himself.

Yao Tong breathed a sigh of relief and put on a sycophantic smile, tentatively asking, “Brother Hu, could you sell me his keyword?”

Two keywords, a rarity among rarities, he wouldn’t need to do anything else, his attributes would skyrocket!

Hearing Yao Tong’s question, the old man immediately changed his mind, looking at Duge and gritting his teeth, “I’ll sell, but you have to ensure my survival, for as long as you live, I must live…”
