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

After all, this girl is the first "follower" that he wants to win over, so Chen Qi certainly hopes that she has the most training value possible.

At least for now, it seems that this girl is bold and careful, extremely motivated, and her fighting ability seems to be quite good.

Chen Qi believed that in time, she would become a good assistant.

He is determined to get this person!

"Curious? How did I do that?"

Chen Qi did not immediately step forward to show his goodwill. Instead, under the vigilant gaze of the yellow-haired girl, he pulled out the silver needle from the guard's neck and asked the girl with a faint smile.

"..." The girl didn't answer, but Chen Qi noticed her curious look.

"The carotid artery in the neck is a fatal weakness for any race. As long as the location is correct, a single injection can cause a person to become completely powerless or even fall into a coma."

"And there are many more fatal weaknesses in the human body. If you can know these weaknesses, you can kill a person without any effort, and even the traces left will be minimal."

"At that time, you wouldn't have needed to... um, make the scene so bloody."

Chen Qi glanced coldly at the body of the guard and the blood that flowed all over the scene.

"Now, all the guards will know that he is dead, and they will definitely increase their oppression of the slums in the future."

Girl: "...I'm so sorry, I'm too weak."

[Hearing your words that completely sided with the slums, she let down her guard, and a hint of sadness also appeared in her heart. ]

[My behavior has made life more difficult for myself and the people in the entire slum.]

[Although she has no right to care about the life and death of others. ]

[But, dozens, even hundreds of people died at once because of her actions... The girl still felt a sense of guilt. ]

"But next time, I will do better."

The girl clenched her fists as if to make amends for herself, and spoke in a calm and firm tone.

"It's good that you recognize your shortcomings and want to make up for your mistakes."

Chen Qi, who was becoming more and more satisfied with the girl, was not stingy with his praise:

"With your ambition and determination, you should have been a lawyer or a doctor, or at least a teacher."

"There doesn't seem to be any sign of infection on your body, so why did you end up like this?"

"..."

[Yeah, why did I end up like this? ]

[She had asked herself this question countless times, but she couldn't find the answer.]

[Just because I was born in a country like Leitania where warlocks are everywhere, but I don’t know any Originium skills? I am a "defective product"? 】

[Because of this, all my values were completely denied by the parents who abandoned me? ]

[She had also enlightened herself countless times - this is how the world is. ]

[But she was still extremely unwilling. ]

[I am not weaker than anyone else, nor am I dumber than anyone else. ]

[Why is it that I am the one who suffers? ]

"From your expression, you've already answered me - you don't know."

"But maybe, I can give you an answer?"

Looking at the silent expression of the yellow-haired girl, Chen Qi just smiled faintly and gave his response in an extremely calm tone.

“Because this country is sick.”

"This country has allowed those who love it, are loyal to it, and are more capable of creating value to suffer humiliation and pain, while allowing despicable, greedy, incompetent and mediocre people to occupy high positions and squeeze the wealth we create."

"…who are you?"

However, after listening to Chen Qi's rather dangerous words, even the yellow-haired girl noticed that something was wrong with him.

This person is very different from the people in the slums.

"Me? I'm just a doctor."

However, Chen Qi didn't care about the yellow-haired girl's vigilant look at all. Instead, he responded calmly:

"A doctor who, like you, has suffered so much hardship and betrayal and wants to heal this country."

"...You mean, you want to overthrow the rule of the Twin Queens?"

The girl finally understood what Chen Qi meant.

Even she felt a little reluctant about the "peak" that Chen Qi was going to climb.

But in response, Chen Qi shook his head and continued to answer in a calm and peaceful tone.

“It’s not about overthrowing, it’s about saving.”

"I want to save this country from the Twin Queens, starting from here."

"Save those who have suffered like you and me, and let them get everything they deserve."

"Through this, we will change our destiny and live with dignity as truly dignified 'human beings'."

puff.

For a moment, Chen Qi seemed to hear a heavy heartbeat.

And he was very sure that this heartbeat came from the girl in front of him with a slightly stunned expression.

【Live with dignity. 】

[These words seemed to have infinite magic power over her, and they immediately penetrated her deepest desire.]

【At this moment, she understood. 】

[If I really want to leave this slum, this man in front of me may be my only hope. ]

[I can no longer wait for fate to have mercy on me. ]

[It's time to seize your own destiny. ]

"……name."

"Hmm?" Chen Qi tilted his head slightly.

"I'm asking, your name."

The yellow-haired girl no longer pointed her mace at Chen Qi and completely let go of her hostility.

She has decided to bet her future on this only life-saving straw in front of her!

"I am just an insignificant doctor. You can just call me 'Qi'."

Chen Qi, knowing that he had succeeded, was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and polite.

"So, Miss, what is your name?"

【name? 】

[Your question made the girl stunned for a moment. She had been abandoned in the slums since she could remember. She didn't know who her parents were, let alone who she was. She never had her own name.]

[But after a long while, she looked at the "mace" in her hand that originally belonged to the guard, and she gradually had an answer in her heart. ]

"——My name is Mace."

The blond Caprini girl uttered this name lightly, which surprised Chen Qi greatly.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in Chen Qi's mind -

Oh my gosh, a big cup?!

New author, new book, please collect it.

Chapter 5 We need our own beer hall

锏。

A natural warrior, a triple crown winner of Casimir, a guard who hits people with spiritual knowledge, a woman who can carry an avalanche by herself and intercept the Victorian Elite Guard by herself.

All these titles prove that Jian is one of the most powerful women in the Terra continent.

But all this has nothing to do with the current mace.

Today, she is just a seventeen-year-old girl who is two years younger than Chen Qi, struggling to survive in the slums and waiting for her fate to change.

"So, what are you going to do first?"

Jian led Chen Qi into the depths of the slums. On the way, she began to ask Chen Qi about his plans.

[I am very curious about what the first step will be to overthrow you... no, to save Leitania. ]

[Especially, you said that we should give people in slums a dignified life.]

[This extremely high pursuit cannot be achieved by just shouting slogans. ]

[For Jian, you are her only hope to get out of the slums. So she wants to know how you imagined that you could cultivate enough power to resist the Twin Queens from a chaotic slum.]

"You have to deal with the twin queens. What can you do to overthrow them?"

"Don't worry."

Chen Qi was not anxious at all about this. He knew very well how big the gap in power was between himself and the Gemini Queens, so he was not in a hurry to do anything that would expose himself.

"The twin queens have just ascended to the throne. Now is the time when their foundation is unstable and they are not confident in their rule."

"If we now have an army large enough to overthrow the Twin Queens, or a top-notch combat force that can fight against them, and stab them when their rule is most unstable, the probability of success will be very high."

"But unfortunately, we have neither of those."

"So you plan to start with these two points, right?" After understanding, Jian nodded. Although she had never been to school, she knew very well as she had lived in the slums that force was the foundation of survival.

"As for the army, there is no shortage of people in the slums, but I don't think they will listen to you."

With a nonchalant smile on his face, Jian also told Chen Qi about the difficulties in making his plan succeed.

"As for the person who can compete with the Gemini Queens..." Mace's voice paused.

"...I don't think there are such people here."

"——Who said that?"

However, as soon as Jian finished speaking, he was refuted by Chen Qi.

Under the gaze of Jian, Chen Qi still had that calm smile on his face, and said in a calm tone as if he was stating the facts:

"Isn't there someone by my side who can rival the Twin Queens?"

Mace: “…Me?”

For the first time, Jian pointed at himself with a look of surprise.

I fight the twin queens?

This is not the first time that the mace has challenged a strong opponent.

When she was in the slums, she used her seemingly thin body to defeat many bullies and gangs that had been rampant in the slums for years.

For Jian, challenging the strong is like climbing a higher mountain. The experience of achieving the goal and surpassing one's own limits is the only happiness Jian can feel in the slums.

But the "peak" of the Gemini Queen... I have to say, it is still a little too high for her now.

It was so high that she had never thought of such a possibility before.

"are you joking?"

"The Twin Queens are able to defeat even the Witch King. I am just a defective product who can't even use the Originium Technique."

Jian shook his head, obviously not taking Chen Qi's words seriously.

However, when Jian looked at Chen Qi's still calm eyes, his heart tightened unconsciously.

What does this look of his mean?

Did he really believe that he could rival the Gemini Queens?

Where does he get this confidence?

This kind of... confidence that she can do it seems to be greater than her own?
