In Ark Simulator, why do I always start out as a ruthless person?.

"But remember, child, you can only choose your path once. It will be too costly to start over. You don't have a second chance."

“No matter which path you choose, remember to stick to it until the end.”

In front of Chen Qi, several lines of words suddenly appeared that did not appear in the first simulation.

[What is your choice at this time? ]

[A. Studying medicine can’t save Leithania, I want to go into politics and serve the Witch King. (Choose a fountain pen)]

[B. A politician can kill tens of thousands of people in a moment’s thought, so it is better to be a pure good person. (Choose a scalpel)]

[This is a new function and option after the system upgrade.] The system's explanation came quickly.

[When a decision is made, this system will provide multiple options for the host to choose from. ]

[Of course, if the host comes up with other answers, this system will also provide other options. ]

"I see."

"Then this time, I choose B." Chen Qi had almost no hesitation.

Nonsense, others may not know, but he has read some plots, and the Witch King will be overthrown by the Gemini Queens in the future!

Although he is not sure about the era he lives in, the Witch King has ruled Leithania for many years.

But considering that the Witch King turned his attention to evil in his later years and his rule over Letania was extremely brutal, it was definitely a wise choice to draw a clear line with the Witch King as soon as possible.

Especially after listening to the summary of the system simulation, he realized that the father he simulated this time was able to enter the officialdom because of his fanaticism for the Witch King.

I didn't choose to go into politics, but chose to be a doctor. This choice may save their lives in the future.

[You raised the scalpel in your mother's hand without thinking. Your mother danced with excitement, while your father was very disappointed.]

[However, my father still fulfilled his promise and invited a doctor from Dayan for you from afar, asking you to become his disciple and learn the Dayan medical skills that you were extremely interested in.]

[At the age of 5, you seem to have the memory of your past life. In just one year, you have mastered the writing and medical books of Dayan, which makes the Dayan doctor who teaches you medicine call you a "genius."]

[At the age of 6, you are almost going to school. You have a good understanding of the identification and proportion of medicinal materials. Your teacher Dayan has decided to start teaching you about acupuncture points and pulse conditions.]

[At the age of 7, you finally reached school age. Your parents enrolled you in the best local private school. Many local nobles and military officers liked to send their children to this school.]

【This year, you have become familiar with the acupuncture points and pulse patterns of different races. 】

[One day when you were 8 years old, you completed a test by Teacher Dayan and found the correct medicine. In addition, you used the remaining herbs and mixed them in different ways to make a medicine that could theoretically poison a person.]

[When you handed over the medicine and poison that you had exceeded the quota to your teacher Dayan, you only saw the horror in your teacher's eyes for a moment. The look he cast at you was full of disbelief... and fear.]

[The next day, you heard from your father that your teacher Dayan thought he was not talented enough and had no more knowledge to teach you, so he chose to leave.]

[At the age of 9, during a combat training class at school, you watched your fellow officers who had been trained since childhood fighting, and suddenly a brilliant idea emerged in your mind.]

[You are proficient in Da Yan medicine, and you are already very familiar with the acupuncture points and weaknesses of each race. ]

[Then why not try to integrate this knowledge into martial arts? ]

[You do it right away. When it's your turn, you start to learn to integrate medicine into fighting, and the wooden sword keeps attacking your opponent's acupuncture points and weaknesses.]

[Soon, you, who originally had good grades in the fighting class, beat that officer-born classmate so hard that he ran away in panic.]

[Looking at your classmates who fled the fighting room crying without even taking off their protective gear out of fear, and the eyes of your classmates around you looking at you with surprise, admiration, or fear, you vaguely realized something...]

[Your talent may bring you sin. No matter what you learn, it will allow you to master the sinful talent of "killing" without any instruction.]

PS: This is a new work by a new author. I beg readers to collect and support it.

Chapter 3 The Rise of the Devil

"So this is what [Sinful Talent] means?"

All the knowledge learned will be used to kill people. This entry is indeed worthy of his description.

Although Chen Qi was a little surprised about everything in the simulation, he was not that shocked - after all, these simulated things were things he could do.

Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there is a common point in medicine, that is, the strict control of "dosage".

Once the dosage is out of balance, a life-saving drug may become a fatal drug.

This is common sense for ordinary Dongda students, even if they have never studied medicine.

But unfortunately, this is Terra, a place of cultural fault.

Here, doctors are probably rarer than giant pandas.

Even most people living in mobile cities still cannot afford medical treatment.

So these things that seem to be common sense are knowledge that can only be mastered by those who have received higher education and wealthy people who are qualified to become doctors after long-term illnesses.

But as long as Chen Qi wants to do it, he can do it.

The same applies to integrating medicine into martial arts.

As soldiers gain more experience in combat, they will instinctively know which parts to attack to effectively reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness.

As a doctor, Chen Qi attacks weaknesses purposefully, so his attacks will be more efficient, precise and tricky.

Which acupoints can paralyze a person, which weaknesses can make a person paralyzed or even kill him, Chen Qi can do all of this as long as he can hit them.

"Should I say, it's a good thing I didn't choose [King of the Great West]?" Chen Qi still felt a little scared.

"Otherwise, he will be able to kill people no matter what he learns. Coupled with his bloodthirsty personality... I feel that over time, he will not be far from becoming a humanoid creature."

However, up to now, the term "speaker" seems to have not gained any momentum at all?

While Chen Qi was doubtful, his simulation continued...

[At the age of 16, you graduated from high school with excellent grades. Just when you and your family thought that you were not far from your dream of becoming a doctor, a little friction arose between your country and its neighboring countries.]

[A month ago, the Witch King dealt a heavy blow to the Gaul vanguard army, and the "Four Emperors' Battle" that had been officially announced had reached a white-hot stage.]

[Although the vanguard was severely damaged by the Witch King, the Leitanian army still could not gain an advantage on the battlefield due to the strong blood-making rear of the Gaul people and the general mobilization of the Gaul emperor himself.]

[Until the arrival of Victoria and Ursus reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield finally turned. ]

[Now, facing the resistance of millions of Gauls defending their country, Leitania, under the instruction of the Witch King, began to recruit suitable men aged 16 and above and under 60 from the border to join the frontline battlefield. ]

[Unfortunately, you happen to be within the age range for conscription.]

[Finally, after your father tried to modify the conscription list to no avail, under the reluctant gaze of your parents, you finally boarded the land ship in your military uniform and headed towards the front line.]

[Along the way, you had a great conversation with a group of new recruits of similar age who had never been on the battlefield. When you passed by the huge statue of the Witch King of Leithnia, you sang the Leithnia national anthem together and rushed to the battlefield with excitement and longing.]

[You who dreamed of becoming heroes at that time did not know what kind of hell on earth you were about to enter. ]

[Only one day, under the fierce counterattack of the Gallic soldiers, only eleven people, including you, survived from your company of recruits.]

[When facing the last wave of the Gallic army's charge, you were ready to die, holding high the flag of Leithnia, and preparing to fight the Gauls to the death. ]

【But perhaps it was luck, or perhaps the previous casualties were too tragic, when you raised the military flag, the Gallic army thought you had launched another counterattack, so they retreated.】

[And it was because of this accident that you were lucky enough to hold on until the arrival of the reinforcements. ]

[You, who survived a brutal battle, were assigned to another legion commander. The viscount admired you very much for your outstanding performance on your first battlefield, and specially arranged a new position for you.]

【The flag bearer.】

[This is an extremely dangerous type of soldier.]

[Not only do you have to follow the army to charge at the front line, but as a representative of the team, you must always hold up the military flag. Your means of self-defense are extremely limited, and you are also very likely to become a target and be targeted.]

【But the dangers of the flag bearer go far beyond this. 】

[The flag bearer not only has to charge in the front, but also has another responsibility, which is to supervise the battle. ]

[When the army's vanguard suffered too many casualties, causing the soldiers in the rear to lose their morale and start to flee, the flag bearer in the center of the army must use a loud voice to calm the deserters and restore the morale of the troops.]

[Otherwise, you, who have no soldiers protecting you, will be the next one to be killed. ]

[Even if the situation is too bad, the flag bearer supervising the battle may face being trampled by friendly forces, or even being attacked by fellow soldiers who are desperate to survive.]

[But you still resolutely accepted this dangerous position. ]

[In the next few equally brutal battles, countless Leitanian armies were defeated and annihilated, but you, who were in the most vulnerable position, managed to survive.]

[Perhaps it was your fearless and selfless attitude that inspired everyone. Or maybe your voice really has some magical appeal.]

[Whether they are new recruits who are frightened by fear or deserters who have been surrounded by fear, they will all rally with your inspiring battle cry and your selfless heroic demeanor, and join you in launching a desperate charge.]

[Your heroic performance was soon appreciated by the Viscount.]

[Not long after a battle, in the trenches, your viscount personally awarded you a medal—a first-class medal.]

[This means that you are a hero of the army, an honor that any soldier, officer, or even noble should respect.]

[After two years of fighting, this war that swept across four countries finally ended with the destruction of Gaul and the victory of Victoria, Ursus and Leitania.]

[You won the first-class medal on the battlefield and returned home as a hero with the army. ]

【And your parents have been looking forward to it for a long time. 】

[That day, your mother hugged you with tears of joy, and your father, who was not good at speaking, rubbed your head, which was rare. He looked at you who had become darker and more capable after fighting on the battlefield, and praised you with tears in his eyes, "Well done."]

[In your hometown, you have also become a household hero. ]

[The administrator of the mobile city not only met you in person, but also publicized your heroic deeds in the city and even in Leithania, as if he wanted the Witch King in the tower to see how much he values Leithania's heroes.]

[But this kind of day did not last long. A sudden piece of news shocked the entire Leitania. ]

【The Witch King is dead.】

[The mysterious twin queens defeated the Witch King personally, and his body fell from the tower, announcing that the Witch King's rule had completely ended on this day.]

[The first policy after the twin queens came to power was to promise the electors who supported them to liquidate the remaining loyal forces of the Witch King.]

[There is nothing wrong with the Gemini Queen's move from a political perspective. The first thing she does after taking the throne is to consolidate her position and win over as many people as possible to her side.]

[But they are ultimately created "weapons". Politically, they basically rely on the support of the electors and do not know that a seemingly correct decree from their mouths, after passing through layers upon layers to the grassroots, will be misinterpreted into something completely different.]

[What was supposed to be a reckoning against the Witch King's diehards turned into a huge tragedy of judging "who are the Witch King's diehards" within a few days.]

[And unfortunately, when the decree was issued, in order to encourage the officials to work harder, the Gemini Queen specifically issued a strategy to determine the bonuses of officials based on the number of Witch King's diehards captured.]

[This led the executive officers of the mobile city to arrest any suspected "Witch King diehards" for their own benefit. Not only the nobles, but also the civilians, and anyone who made fanatical remarks about the Witch King, began to be arrested in large numbers.]

[In order to avoid the appeal process, the executioners allowed the guards to execute the "Witch King's remnants" who were arrested immediately, and countless innocent Leithanians died in this way. ]

[As for you, no matter your "loyal subject to the Witch King" and your heroic deeds that were widely publicized by the city lord, or your father who became a government official by declaring his loyalty to the Witch King, you are doomed to be unable to avoid this disaster.]

"Bang bang bang!!"

"Open the door! We are on duty as guards! If you don't open the door, we will take coercive measures!"

At home, with the civil servant being dismissed from his post, the father, knowing that the crisis was about to come, smoked gloomily, listening to the violent knocks on the door outside, and remained unmoved.

When the mother heard the knock on the door, she immediately hugged Chen Qi in her arms to protect this son who was a head taller than her.

"...Child, come here, Dad has something to tell you."

Knowing that disaster was unavoidable, your father called you over and handed you a package wrapped in cloth.

"Child, this is the last bit of resources we have at home that we have sorted out for you."

"These days, Dad and I dug a tunnel under the stove. When we open the door later, you will escape from there and go to the slums. There, I will make the last preparation for you."

“——What about you, mom and dad?”

[You asked with great uneasiness, as if you noticed something from your father's eyes.]

"No, I want to go with you! I can kill those guards and take mom and dad away with you!"

[As soon as you finished speaking, you were slapped in the face by your father. You covered your burning face and stared at your father blankly, not knowing what to do.]

"We have been Leitanians for generations! When you fight on the front lines, you fight for the Leitanians!"

"Now it's Leitania... No, it's the twin queens who betrayed Leitania's hero! But we can't be like them, got it, kid?"

Your father held Chen Qi’s shoulders tightly, his cloudy eyes full of expectation—just like when he saw you when you were just born.

"You must live, child. Live to change Leitania. Don't let the hero's blood be shed in vain."

"We don't expect you to overthrow their rule... but at least, bear witness to their destruction for us! Show them how true Leitanians defend their homeland!"

"boom!"

[As soon as my father finished speaking, the sound of a heavy banging on the door finally came. You all understood that time was running out.]

[Your parents didn't say anything more, they just pushed you to the stove, and you understood your parents' thoughts, so you obeyed their will with tears in your eyes.]
