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

[And when you just entered the tunnel to the stove, you could still hear your parents’ last voices coming from the living room…]

"Long live Leitania!"

[…Finally, all sounds fell silent.]

[You forgot how you escaped to the slums.]

[But you clearly remember the final faith of your parents when they died heroically.]

[You have also completely understood who you should be rebelling against.]

[Perhaps the tyrannical Witch King should be overthrown, or perhaps the Gemini Queen is the right one... But on this day, after experiencing all of this, you were completely forced onto a path that went against "rightness."]

【You will not betray Leitania.】

[But, you will subvert Leitania in your own way. ]

【At this moment, you remembered your childhood dream of becoming a doctor. 】

[Although you have experienced many twists and turns, you know that your dream has not been shattered. ]

[Because you will be the first "doctor" to "perform surgery" on the country of Leitania. ]

[Blood, words, blades...all the power that can protect this country will be in your hands, and will be transformed into a "scalpel" to stab the hearts of those high-ranking officials who witnessed all these tragedies but did nothing!]

[You must let the shadow of "fear" forever hang over the heads of the twin queens, and let them pay the price they deserve for the pain they have caused themselves.]

[At the moment you make up your mind, you feel an indescribable sense of release in your body and mind - that is a feeling of being free of worries and being your true self.]

【The devil has awakened. 】

...Okay, another start from hell.

Looking at the preview plot of this simulation which he had finally finished, Chen Qi's only thought was to open a certain website and ask for help from netizens.

Thanks for the invitation. I am in Leithania, and I have just arrived at the slums. My goal is to overthrow the country. What should I do?

Chapter 4 My name is "Mace"

When I opened my eyes again, it was already my second day in the slums.

"This is really... unforgettable."

Opening his eyes, all the forward-looking memories before the simulation officially began flooded into Chen Qi's mind.

Even with the experience of the first simulation, it took Chen Qi a long time to digest this memory and prevent it from completely covering up his original personality.

But it is unlikely that these memories have no effect on Chen Qi at all.

Whether it was the bloody battles for Leitania, or the care and instructions given by his parents in this life.

All memories are as real and unforgettable as a life.

Chen Qi didn't worry about this. He was a person who trusted his feelings and acted according to his heart.

Now that I have decided to do it, I will never hesitate.

"Subverting Leitania? Especially now that I have fallen into the state of living in a slum, it is even more difficult to threaten the twin queens."

"This is even more difficult than when I tricked my second brother into thinking he would take the throne after Wei Lao Er ran away. When I become really capable, I can pass the throne to me in the future."

After all, his second brother would cherish the life of his third brother in order to free himself from the golden toilet.

But the Gemini Queens are different. They may be more gentle towards the remnants of the Witch King in the future.

But in today's Leithania, they and the Electors will strike hard and without mercy against any remnants of the Witch King in order to consolidate their own positions.

Therefore, if he really regards overthrowing Leitania as his goal, he needs to take one step at a time to make up for the huge gap between him and the twin queens.

"If I want to overthrow the rule of the Twin Queens, the most fundamental difference between me and them is in strength and power."

"The Gemini Queens have the power to defeat the Witch King. Although the Witch King is like a madman who has taken too much drugs in the later period, his magic that can tear apart the Gaul Vanguard is not fake."

To be able to challenge the Gemini Queens in terms of individual strength... Chen Qi felt that it would be unlikely for him to achieve this in his lifetime.

"Then it's about power."

"The Twin Queens are already more powerful than ten thousand people in Leitania. Apart from the Electors, they still have a large number of guards, executive officers, and troops. I estimate that they will train their own private armed forces in the future."

"The only way I can shake their rule is to unite forces strong enough to fight against them?"

But where can we find such a force?

But I live in the slums, a gathering place for the most unhappy people in the whole of Leitania and the infected people at the bottom of society.

……etc?

Ghetto?

A gathering place for the lower classes of society?

Suddenly, when Chen Qi thought of these two key words, a gleam of light flashed in his mind, and he immediately realized that the people he could win over, who occupied a huge number and were enough to shake Leitania, were right next to him!

What is precious is that I have a similar tragic experience as them!

This means that he can get along with them, and as long as he can gain their trust, they may follow him.

But if Chen Qi wants this group of disheartened people to follow him, he has to demonstrate the ability as a leader to convince them.

Some abilities that they don't have but desperately need.

"Shut up!"

[While you were thinking, a sharp whistle caught your attention. ]

[Looking over, you only see a guard with a weapon, chasing a girl with long horns holding a paper bag full of food.]

[Judging from the guard's angry expression, the food in the girl's arms did not belong to her.]

[If you don't stop the guard, you can imagine what will happen to this girl. But now that you have attracted the attention of the government, the slums may not be safe anymore.]

[What do you want to do? ]

【A.Catch up】

[B. Pretend not to notice, personal safety is the most important]

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to hide in the slums forever."

Faced with the option that appeared again, Chen Qi's mouth curled up slightly. He already had an idea in his mind.

Try to make that girl your first follower.

Chen Qi chose to respond to the option with action.

[You chased after him and found the guard in a blind spot.]

[The guard has completely blocked the girl and raised the blunt weapon in his hand high up, which seems to be a mace.]

[If the guard's blow hit the Caprini girl's head, the girl would surely die on the spot.]

This time, the system didn't even have time to offer options before Chen Qi took action first.

"what!"

The girl, who was curling up into a ball and stuffing bread into her mouth desperately, did not receive the heavy blow she had imagined, but instead heard a miserable scream.

When she subconsciously raised her head in a daze, she found that the guard was wailing in pain, and his body seemed to be limp out of control.

Facing the faint sunlight, she saw clearly a thin, long silver needle stuck in the soldier's neck.

She also saw the mace that had fallen from the guard's hand and now fell into her hand.

"boom!"

The next second, before she could react, the guard's tall body was thrown to the ground.

The person pressing on the guard was a young man she had never seen before, but his clothes did not look like someone from the slums at all.

But what was different from his clothes was that the young man's attack was extremely ruthless. The moment he knocked the guard down, he skillfully used textbook-level grappling skills to lock the guard's hands with his backhand.

"Asshole! Let me go!"

"Someone! Help me! Come and help me! *Letanian slang*!"

The suppressed guard yelled madly, but no matter how angry he was or how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Chen Qi's restraints.

After all, Chen Qi is a doctor and a veteran of the battlefield, with rich experience in both theory and practice. How could he be matched by a guard who has not been trained for a long time?

However, the guard's shouting quickly alerted Chen Qi and the girl.

No, this guy has to shut up!

——At this moment, the same thought flashed through the minds of two strangers.

It happened in a split second. Just as Chen Qi was about to take out his second silver needle and give the guard a shot.

The girl had already grabbed the mace that the guard had dropped and was holding it high.

"boom!"

The next second, with a dull collision, the blood oozing from the guard's head soaked Chen Qi and the girl's cheeks.

Looking closely, the girl saw that the guard's head had been hit by a huge bloody hole, and even the brain could be seen clearly.

He was physically shut up forever.

"It's okay to die...

Chen Qi didn't want to kill him originally, but now that things had come to this, Chen Qi accepted it with exceptional calmness.

After all, he was used to seeing dead bodies on the battlefield.

And now, with his identity as one of the "remnants of the Witch King", only the dead would not arrest him.

Since they were already on opposite sides, Chen Qi didn't want to say anything like "the enemy's life is life too".

If I don't kill him, he will kill me. Neither of them will have mercy on the other.

They are just beasts that kill each other just to survive.

"Ha ha……"

The yellow-haired Caprini girl who had dealt the fatal blow to the guard, on the contrary, was gasping for breath and her face turned slightly pale.

【This is her first time killing someone.】

[But she didn't dare to vomit, let alone reveal the slightest flaw in front of you.]

[Because she was worried that the person who saved her would kill her the next second because of the food in her bag.]

[Especially after she saw that you used that silver needle to make the guard lose his ability to resist, she became even more wary of you.]

Chen Qi nodded, of course he understood.

After all, life in the slums of Terra, no matter where you are, is very difficult, so it is necessary to be vigilant.

[But besides being wary, this girl is more...excited and curious about you who are using methods she doesn't understand.]

excited?

Chen Qi raised his eyebrows.

He could understand being curious, but excited...

Could it be that this girl awakened some strange attributes after killing someone with her own hands?

[As a rare person in Leitania who has no talent for Originium skills and has lived alone in the slums for so long, she naturally has her own strengths. 】

【That is power.】

[With her strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, she is invincible in the slums. As long as she is well fed, she will not be afraid of ten more guards, let alone that one.]

[But today, after seeing your strange methods, she, who had been relying on her bravery to survive in the slums, suddenly opened a new door. ]

【She realized that "strength" alone was not enough. 】

[What I still need to learn is "skills". ]

[It’s a pity that in this situation, she’s not sure if she’ll have the chance to hone her “skills”.]

[No, if she can survive this time, she must master the skills of fighting - as long as this can help her survive better.]

——It’s really excellent.

Listening to the system's words, Chen Qi's eyes changed as he looked at the yellow-haired girl in front of him. He didn't expect that he would meet such an outstanding talent just by completing a "side quest".
