Apocalypse: I Have One More Keyword Than Others

"What’s your keyword?" Duge asked again.

"Wen Hua," Dan Cong replied without hesitation, then countered, "And yours?"

"Management," Duge glanced at him, not minding his subtle attempt to reverse their master-servant relationship, and revealed his own keyword. The premise of cooperation is sincerity; only through sincerity can one gain the other’s true heart.

"Impossible, how could ’management’ possibly destroy the characters I wrote? How could it steal someone else’s spiritual power?" Dan Cong furrowed his brow, "Wang Chong, the premise of cooperation is honesty. Playing games like this is pointless."

"Old Dan, you seem to have forgotten that there’s also cooperation based on a master-servant relationship," Duge chuckled, "Moreover, I feel you have a misunderstanding of ’management’. Higher-level management and trade inherently imply the disruption of the existing order. It can shake the stability of society. If it can disrupt stable social orders, then of course it can destabilize the structure of your characters."

"What skill do you have?" Dan Cong asked.

"Fair’s fair, you say one, I’ll say one," Duge said. "You’re the weaker one, you go first."

"Flowers Bloom from the Pen," Dan Cong stated. "The prose and poetry I write, everyone will consider exceptional."

"Illicit Management," Duge looked at him, saying, "When I engage in improper business practices, I disrupt the stability of societal order."

"..." Dan Cong furrowed his brows, "Is that your definition of honesty?"

"I trusted you, but you don’t trust me?" Duge laughed, "Old Dan, you probably don’t know that I have issued stocks in this world. I issued them and I regulated them, thoroughly wrecking the existing social order a long time ago."

He glanced at Dan Cong and volunteered, "My second skill is forcible trade—anything I set my sights on can be traded for by force. When I seized your arms or plucked your organs, in fact, it was the effect of my second skill."
