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

[Therefore, from the day the store opened, the tavern's business has been endless. Whether it is a civilian with a meager income, a bully who is rampant, or a scavenger team, everyone is equal in your tavern. ]

[Every day, the bar is surrounded by sweat, cheap alcohol, cigarettes, and noise. Even if someone gambles in your bar or gets into a quarrel due to drunkenness, as long as they don't cause trouble, you will calmly watch it all.]

[And your boss will only get involved if you encounter a situation. ]

That’s when it comes to talking about politics.

[Under the influence of alcohol, among those who have lived in the oppressive environment of the slums for a long time, there will always be people willing to express their dissatisfaction with Leitania. ]

[Among them, the vast majority of people also expressed their dissatisfaction with the Gemini Queen.]

[The reason is that in recent days, with the battle royale of "Who is the Witch King's remnant" in full swing, a large number of false and wrongful convictions have occurred in various parts of Leithania. 】

【Therefore, many people in similar situations as you flock to the slums to survive and escape the increasingly cruel battle royale in Leitania. 】

[But unfortunately, most of them don't have the same military and combat experience as you. ]

[Most of them who blindly entered the slums with their property and wealth faced the fate of being robbed or even killed.]

[Robbery, plunder, and killing...are happening day by day in various mobile cities. More and more civilians are forced to become refugees and become the targets of plunder by the vicious gangs in the slums, making the already chaotic slums even more bloody.]

[In such an environment, the frustrated, those whose families were destroyed overnight, the displaced... people who are increasingly dissatisfied with Leitania and the Twin Queens, gather in large numbers in your tavern.]

【Then, under the influence of alcohol and in the absence of any official personnel, all the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time burst out here.】

[Here, as long as someone shouts insults like "Lehtania is a shitty country", they will be greeted with applause. ]

[Whenever you hear these topics, you will join in immediately. ]

[However, unlike those who only know how to curse and complain, you do not allow others to abuse Leitania at will. ]

[Instead, you told them who they should really curse and hate.]

"I have fought for Leitania and fought countless bloody battles with the Gauls. I love Leitania more than any of you."

"I can tell you that Leitania was not originally like this! The Leitania that made countless good men of Leitania fight and shed blood is not what it is now."

"The Leitania of the past and the Leitania of today are two different countries, with only one difference."

"That is, the one who ruled Leithania in the past was the Witch King, and the ones who rule this country now are the Twin Queens!"

[Whenever you start to refute these people's remarks, your voice will be particularly loud, your emotions will subconsciously become excited, and your arms will also start to wave vigorously. ]

[This is even more strenuous than a drama, plus you are well-educated, well-organized, and logical, which allows you to win every debate.]

【Gradually, the people gathered in the tavern began to get used to your debates.】

[They even begin to look forward to what kind of stories and novel remarks you can bring to them on this day.]

[This makes your tavern business more prosperous, and more and more people from the slums come here just to listen to your opinions. ]

"We defeated the Gauls! We broke into their capital. I swear, the Gaul palace is even more magnificent than we imagined! The treasures inside are innumerable!"

"But we won the war, but the lives of the Leitanians didn't improve at all. Why is that?"

"We clearly won the victory and divided Gaul, but we didn't get any benefits from it. We didn't even expand a single war orphanage, hospital or school. Why is that?!"

"Why are we living a miserable life like a defeated country when we are the victorious party?"

In the tavern, this was the nth time that Chen Qi had argued with his guests and taken complete initiative.

The original debate gradually turned into a performance by Chen Qi alone again.

With everyone in the tavern paying close attention and interested, Chen Qi once again began his speech.

"Why?" Someone in the tavern couldn't help but ask loudly.

"——Because those high-ranking people stole the wealth that should have belonged to the people of Leitania!"

Chen Qi was seen pointing his finger towards the sky, accusing the superiors in the heavenly palace with his actions and scolding those high and mighty people with his words.

Among the group of pale and skinny Leitanians, Chen Qi, who was tall and standing on a high place, was so eye-catching in every move.

"Those high and mighty electors! Use the fruits of our bloody battles to train their 'secret weapon' - the twin queens!"

"The Twin Queens overthrew the Witch King, and all the wealth that was supposed to be used to build Leithania, reward heroes, and provide relief to orphans was given to the electors who supported and created them!"

"They stole the wealth that should have belonged to every Leitanian citizen who fought so hard! They made the heroes bleed and cry, and now they have turned us into refugees!"

[Your words seemed to have a natural magic power. As your expression became more and more angry, the emotions of all the people in the tavern who were listening to your words were also aroused.]

[Because everything you say is exactly what everyone here is experiencing, or thinks they are experiencing.]

[You clearly told them who was the culprit for everything they were going through.]

【You make them start to hate the same target and the same class as you do. 】

"Tell me about the people who fight for Leitania like me and love Leitania so much!"

Chen Qi waved his hands at the top of his lungs. He felt that the accumulation of emotions had reached the breaking point!

Now, only the last spark is left.

"Are you still willing to continue sacrificing yourself for Leitania, who has failed the heroes and betrayed the people, ruled by the Twin Queens?!"

"Never!"

"Are you still willing to obey the twin queens who betrayed the Leitanians and the electors who are high above us and sucking our blood?!"

"Never!!"

Repeated questioning was met with responses that were more resentful and unwilling than the last.

In the ignited anger, everyone in the tavern was shouting heart-wrenchingly.

Their faces flushed and they vied with each other in responding. Their originally lifeless and numb eyes were now ignited with an unprecedented flame of anger!

"no way!"

Facing the roars of dozens of people, Chen Qi simply responded with the same angry voice, and everyone's voices immediately calmed down.

"So we must resist! We want revenge!"

"We must take back everything we deserve from the high and mighty Twin Queens and Electors who betrayed us!"

"We who love Leitania will no longer be oppressed by anyone! Leitania will belong to every person who loves it!"

"We must fight! Fight for us, for our families, and for Leitania until the last moment!"

"fighting!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The anger that had been aroused turned into waves of excited voices, one higher than the other, responding to Chen Qi, who was already sweating profusely.

On the high platform, Chen Qi looked at the people below the stage who were holding up their hands and wine glasses, fanatical, excited, and angry, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction from the scorching hot air.

Not far away, Jian, who was quietly sitting in the corner of the bar drinking cheap wine, was looking at the scene in front of him with cold eyes, which had been repeated many times...

Jian witnessed time and again that the debate in this tavern gradually turned into a one-man show by this man.

Everyone's eyes on him changed from contempt and disdain in the beginning, to seriousness, and then to conviction... and fanaticism today.

Jian looked at the audience below, who were shouting at Qi, venting their anger as if they wanted to devour everything.

Regardless of their poverty, strength, or whether they were infected, they all strongly and unanimously agreed with his words.

And, they are willing to offer their strength for this momentary madness.

It was as if all of a sudden... they all became exactly the same person as Qi.

For no apparent reason, Jian felt a chill on his spine, and his entire body was enveloped in a strange fear.

As one of the founders of this tavern, Jian, while being responsible for security, also paid special attention to the tavern's daily guests, including regular customers and strangers, to prevent potential hidden dangers from sneaking into the tavern.

Therefore, she remembered clearly that today... the number of customers in the pub was 121.

Among them, 98 are regular customers.

Among these 98 people, Jian knew that 88 of them had become "members of the organization" that was rebelling against the rule of the Twin Queens.

As for the rest of the people, they were mostly regular customers who came here specifically to listen to that guy's speech.

And now, Jian looked at the guests who were all extremely enthusiastic and venting their emotions crazily...

She knew that the number of members would probably increase again.

And now, only 6 days have passed since the opening of their pub.

Oh, please readers, please collect it~

Chapter 7: Once you choose to go to hell, you will never turn back

"Well, today's income is also considerable. The wine and beverages that were originally estimated to last for a month were almost sold out in less than a week. It's much more profitable than running a clinic."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to go to the supplier in the city again... Jian?"

Late at night when the pub was closed, Chen Qi, who was calculating his pub's turnover for the day, happily spoke to Qian, who was probably reading a book beside him.

Don't get me wrong, Jian doesn't like reading. She grew up in a slum and can barely read. How could she possibly read?

This is just the task assigned to Jian by Chen Qi.

The only reason why Jian protected Chen Qi was that she wanted to learn Chen Qi's knowledge of acupoints. As long as she learned it, there was a high probability that Jian would leave on her own.

Therefore, in order to retain Jian, this "capable general", and to make Jian more useful in the future, Chen Qi resolutely chose to design a set of "elite education" for Jian.

Simply put, it allows Jian to experience the complete process of studying medicine.

After all, although the knowledge of acupoints can be directly taught to Jian as a killing skill, if one wants a more comprehensive understanding, studying medicine is almost an inevitable option.

Therefore, Chen Qi chose to teach the mace and his medical skills from the beginning.

The first prerequisite for studying medicine is to be able to read.

Therefore, during this week, under the supervision and instruction of Chen Qi, Jian has been working hard to learn the Leitanian language.

It should be said that although Jian is good at using force to solve problems, she is not actually a violent person who relies on force to act recklessly.

At least, during the learning process, Jian was very patient and serious.

After all, Jian knew very well that she was working hard to change her life and she was learning for herself.

As long as you think this way, you will have unlimited motivation to overcome all difficulties.

But this time, Jian's attention was not on the book.

She was staring at Chen Qi intently, with a sharp gaze... as if she wanted to penetrate his skin and bones and peek directly into the thoughts in his mind.

"What's wrong? Mace? You seem to have something to ask me."

"…What exactly do you want them to do for you? Qi."

Without any beating around the bush, Jian told Chen Qi about her biggest doubts and anxieties.

"Now there are people who are willing to come and listen to your speeches every day, and even swear to serve you. I think there are already hundreds of them now, right?"

Qi: "To be precise, the number of members who can actually perform activities is 107."

Chen Qi smiled and took out a crudely made booklet from his pocket. Only the outermost layer of leather had the words "Membership Card" printed on it.

And on this membership card, Chen Qi’s number is clearly printed: 000501.

By the way, the number printed on the membership card of Jian is 000502.

In order to attract more people to join, Chen Qi used a little cleverness.

He forged the existence of 500 members before his own and the mace's numbers.

After all, people tend to follow the crowd.

The result was as Chen Qi expected. With the help of these 500 fictional members, most members immediately let down their guard and chose to join.

In this way, Chen Qi got 107 members who were willing to help him in almost free way.

"107 people... As far as I know, there has never been a gang of this size in the slums."

Facing this number of people he had never challenged before, Jian took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask:

"So, what's left to do? This number is enough for you to do evil in the slums, and even the guards will definitely not bother you."

"——Still far from it."

However, Chen Qi shook his head and was not very satisfied with the result.
