Geng Zhong

Geng Zhong is a survivor leader whose sense of practical justice makes him one of Du Ge's first and most productive trading agents.

Biography

Choosing a power that can punish exploitation

Geng leads hungry survivors against security guards who hoard resources in an underground garage, even preparing mutual destruction rather than accept forced starvation. Du Ge's arrival interrupts the standoff. After watching Charity Unlimited distribute food for small attribute payments, Geng judges the exchange fair because it preserves lives without taking more than people can bear. He asks for strength to punish the abusive guards and offers loyalty in return, then protects Du Ge instinctively and becomes the first agent trusted to develop sub-agents of his own. (Chapters 109–112)

As an agent, Geng can broker attribute trades under Du Ge's authority, retaining half of his gains while passing the other half upward. The power gives him immediate strength but initially lacks the balanced recovery and physical reinforcement needed to prevent self-injury. By a later appearance, he serves as a blue-robed Day Touring Ghost and visits Xu Jin Kui on official business, retaining the direct manner that defined his earlier leadership. (Chapters 111–112, 540)

Keywords, skills, and cultivation

Geng has no personal keyword. His delegated trading authority lets him acquire strength, agility, recovery, and mental power through consensual transactions and create agents beneath him, but fifty percent of every gain belongs to Du Ge and betrayal carries death as the contract price. A single-stat purchase can overload an otherwise ordinary body, so balanced attributes remain essential. (Chapters 110–112)
