Having learned that Duge had joined the Academy of Science.
The group armies and people from various academies breathed a collective sigh of relief.
They were afraid that Duge, being stubborn, would never reveal his identity, but now that he had joined the Academy of Science, it would be much easier to find him.
Zhong Shiping exchanged contact details with Duge, agreed on a ti to et offline, and then hastily left, as he was very busy. Taking the ti to recruit Duge on the battle network this ti had already taken up a lot of his ti.
...
"Kill One Every Ten Steps, are you really seventeen?"
"Can you tell which school you’re at? I want to co watch you."
"I want to apprentice under you, can you teach how to design chas?"
...
After Zhong Shiping left, the crowd surrounded Duge again, bombarding him with all sorts of gossip questions.
But Duge had achieved his goal and no longer paid attention to them. He nodded at the crowd and said, "Everyone, please stop investigating my information. I won’t disclose it. Once I’ve established military rit on the battlefield, you’ll know my na. Let’s all work hard for the future of Green Star."
With that.
He also logged off.
Subsequently.
ssages about Duge once again flooded the battle network.
"Explosive news! Kill One Every Ten Steps is only seventeen, a university student."
"Kill One Every Ten Steps—the youngest scholar at the Green Star Total Academy of Science."
"The ultimate romance for a man, designing a cha for the woman he loves most, and then, fighting side-by-side with her."
"Who is the girl in Kill One Every Ten Steps’ heart? Let’s make a bold guess..."
...
After Duge logged off, his attributes surged once again.
This ti it should be about romance.
With both love and toughness, there couldn’t be anything more romantic than this. If he didn’t gain a skill from this, there would be no justice.
Sure enough.
It wasn’t long before.
Duge’s personal panel began to flicker, revealing the first romantic skill:
Iron Man Tender Feelings: No woman can refuse to fight alongside you. Any woman fighting by your side has her attributes doubled and will share life and death with you on the battlefield;
Reading the skill description, Duge stared blankly for a long ti before swallowing hard.
F*ck!
That’s a powerful control skill!
With soone like Xu Wan, if he drafted her as a teammate, she would be a reliable shield, and he wouldn’t have to worry about her backstabbing him ever!
On Green Star, there are more than one thousand four hundred Alien Warriors, with a male-to-female ratio of one-to-one, he effectively had gained seven hundred additional comrades-in-arms. Who could play better than him now?
Keep calm! Keep calm!
Duge took a deep breath and consoled himself inwardly, knowing he couldn’t be too conspicuous. The Divine Power had already been exposed, and leaking the second keyword would an certain doom.
Pan-Universe Entertainnt could allow him to have Divine Power, but they would definitely not permit him to have a second keyword, as this seriously disrupted the ga’s fairness.
Even when fighting side-by-side with them, he had to find an appropriate reason, at least not let the spectators outside notice.
...
Duge’s senses spread out.
Inside Imperial University.
Everyone was speculating about the identity of Kill One Every Ten Steps.
Seventeen years old, a freshman, this range had been extrely narrowed down.
...
"Qing Yan, could the goddess of Kill One Every Ten Steps be you?"
"Don’t be ridiculous, how could it be ? None of the people chasing after know how to design chas!"
"Think about it, those people on the battle network have put you on the list. There aren’t many outstanding female cha pilots aged seventeen or eighteen, and after excluding the unattractive ones, there’s only a little over thirty who are sowhat good-looking. You’re in the top three!"
"I already told you, it’s not ," Gu Qingyan said.
"Maybe it’s a secret crush!" Shen Yuning said playfully, "You’ve also said you wanted to fight alongside Kill One Every Ten Steps on the battlefield. It seems like you two really hit it off."
"Why are you talking about ? You’re also quite attractive; maybe he’s taken a fancy to you?" Gu Qingyan retorted.
"I can’t be, my ranking is beyond the tenth, with very low odds," Shen Yuning said.
"Odds?" Gu Qingyan was stunned, "What odds?"
"Falling Leaves Know Flowers, they’ve opened a betting pool for the goddess of Kill One Every Ten Steps." Shen Yuning said, "Quite a few have bet on you, and I’ve even placed a thousand Netcoins on you!"
"You know it’s not , and you still placed a bet?" Gu Qingyan said in surprise.
"To boost your popularity," Shen Yuning said with a playful smile, "Do you know about the event they’ve started up on the battle network?"
"What?" Gu Qingyan asked.
"Competing with the bigshot for a woman," Shen Yuning said, "They’re rallying all eligible young n to pursue those high-ranking ones among you, aiming to force Kill One Every Ten Steps out into the open and find out who his goddess really is."
"They’re insane!" Gu Qingyan said, astonished.
"Exactly, they’re insane, so we’re going to be busy from now on. I wonder how many butterflies are going to swarm around us!" Shen Yuning sighed, adding, "But think about it, if one day soone designed a super cool cha for , I probably couldn’t resist. It’s so romantic, those little boys who send flowers and serenade are just too childish compared to Kill One Every Ten Steps."
"You’re such a fangirl," Gu Qingyan said, reaching out to smack Shen Yuning, "And you were just saying you don’t care if Kill One Every Ten Steps takes an interest in you..."
...
Duge adopted Gu Qingyan’s template to add a little romance and naturally paid more attention to her situation.
Unexpectedly, he did hear so important information.
Not to ntion Falling Leaves Know Flowers stirring up the gambling pool, the guy who started the "Competing with the bigshot for a woman" event must also be an Alien Warrior—his purpose is to force him out, isn’t it!
It seems that Kill One Every Ten Steps has beco too high-profile and has caught everyone’s attention...
At that mont.
Duge’s phone rang.
It was Nalan Li.
Duge answered, "What is it? Have you agreed to give the information on those players?"
"Not yet," Nalan Li’s voice was sowhat cold, "Lin Hong, you’ve agreed to join the Academy of Science?"
"Yeah!" Duge replied, "I’ve got to find sothing to do, and besides, helping to research Hill civilization’s spaceship could possibly lead to a breakthrough in Green Star’s combat abilities!"
"Why didn’t you inform us before making such a decision?" Nalan Li asked.
"I was just browsing the battle network; I didn’t expect to run into Zhong Shiping!" Duge said, "With the situation so urgent at the ti, I couldn’t just abandon Director Zhong and log off to ask for your permission, right? That would have been so rude. Besides, didn’t I tell you I would only occasionally visit the Academy of Science? Most of the ti, I’m free and will still work for the National Defense Bureau."
"Lin Hong, that’s not the point," Nalan Li said, "You know your identity, and the Academy of Science is such a critical place. We can’t afford any mishaps..."
That’s why.
I joined the Academy of Science in the first place!
To give myself an extra layer of protection. What if you suddenly turned against and secretly attacked from behind?
Duge chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’ll be very cautious and won’t reveal my whereabouts. As long as you don’t expose my identity, no one will be able to find or track to the Academy of Science."
"Lin Hong, you know that’s not what I an," Nalan Li said.
"Then what do you an? Don’t you trust ?" Duge said, "Nalan Li, I’ve told you about the players, helped Green Star improve its chas, and plan to enter the Academy of Science to help Green Star study the Hill civilization’s spaceships, to enhance your combat capabilities. Everything I do is for Green Star. Don’t you trust yet?"
"You could have quietly joined the Academy. Why did you tell Director Zhong about designing chas for that girl?" Nalan Li asked, "You are clearly exposing yourself deliberately. Lin Hong, what are you really trying to do? What is your actual keyword?"
"So this is what you care about?" Duge laughed, "Nalan, what if I told you that I’m influenced by the original Lin Hong’s consciousness and unintentionally said those words, would you believe ?
Lin Hong’s goddess is Gu Qingyan, and indeed, he wanted to design a cha for Gu Qingyan. Maybe Lin Hong’s regret beca his obsession. Perhaps he wants to use my body to help his goddess design a cha and fulfill the dream he never achieved.
Since I’ve taken over his body, naturally I want to help him fulfil his last wish, so perhaps that could let his soul rest peacefully in heaven..."
