Chapter 35: Bread worth 500,000 Winter City Shields!

In Natasha's clinic, the reason for the healing Serpent Staff, a resource gifted to Seele by Su Nian as a token of friendship.

Natasha had the members of Earthfire summon all the wounded in Rocky Town to the clinic at once.

Among them were miners whose injuries weren't too serious and who had been sent home by Natasha to recuperate; warriors of the Earthfire who had lost their limbs in battle against the Rift creatures; and homeless people who had lost their ability to work due to their disabilities and were ultimately forced to beg for a living...

Among this group were many more people whom Natasha declared incurable and beyond treatment, and who could only be sent home to await death.

Seeing so many wounded and sick people at once, even Seele, who was used to the cruelty of the battlefield and had fought against the creatures of the Rift time and time again, could not bear to watch.

Not to mention Su Nian, who has always lived in a peaceful era and has never even witnessed bloodshed.

Listen to their groans, and the pleas from outside for Natasha to save their husbands, children, and wives...

He felt he couldn't bear to watch this scene any longer; the bloody reality was just too cruel.

Because the clinic's lighting wasn't very bright, the dim light obscured many details. For example, the gauze bandaging the wounded was already faintly yellowed, and many wounds were still bleeding, while many others were in so much pain they couldn't even cry out.

He probably wouldn't be able to hold back his vomiting right now, would he?
Ha, I never imagined I had such a despicable side.

Star Iron is ultimately a 12+ game, which has blurred too many details. In this vast Lower City, only Rocksteady and Mechanicus remain inhabited.

What about the others? It goes without saying...
Su Nian couldn't help but laugh at herself, but she quickly cheered up, took Xi'er's hand, and led her to the center of the clinic.

Then Su Nian clapped her hands lightly, and the crisp applause echoed throughout the clinic. Su Nian stood up straight and shouted loudly.

"You have all gathered here today to heal your wounds, haven't you? If so, please be quiet for a moment. Before we begin, I have something to say to you."

"If not, then you can leave the clinic now."

Upon hearing this, the noise from the clinic gradually subsided. This was the only clinic in the lower district, and no one wanted to be abandoned.

Not to mention, Natasha summoned all the wounded and sick from the lower districts at once, using her own reputation, which clearly meant she had something to say.

In an instant, countless gazes converged on Su Nian.

Meanwhile, Natasha also heard about Su Nian's plans from Oleg, and she was clearly curious whether Su Nian could actually do what he said.

Support Seele to become a Great Guardian.

"Do you know how the gentlemen in the upper-class district view us?"

Su Nian looked around at the miners who were either leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground, lying on the bed, or lying on the stretcher, and said in a deep voice.

"What do you think of us?"

A young man from the Earth Fire, whose injury wasn't serious—just a fracture—asked curiously.

At this moment, Su Nian said with resentment.

"They call us their mining slaves, demons who steal the Earth's Essence. The recent decrease in Earth's Essence production must be because those pigs and dogs from our lower districts stole the Earth's Essence that belongs to them!!"

At this moment, he felt as if he were suffering the same oppression and exploitation from the upper class as the residents of the lower class.

"You say we're mine slaves? Demons who steal the earth's essence? Pigs and dogs?"

"No!! We are not mine slaves!!" the member of the Earthfire said angrily, his hatred for the higher-ups reaching its peak.

They dug in the dark of the lower levels to extract the lifeblood that sustains the entire Beloborg—the earth marrow—but what they got in return was how the upper levels viewed them.
Su Nian then flattened her hands, calming their anger, and spoke softly.

"Of course I know you are not mining slaves. You are the real heroes who support the operation of Beloborg. If it weren't for your continuous extraction of the earth's core, Beloborg would have long since become a real ice city."

"If it weren't for you, where would the gentlemen at the top find the leisure to indulge in romance and pleasure?"

Su Nian's words only made things worse, causing the emotions of those present to become even more uncontrollable. If they weren't still injured, they would have wanted to pick up their weapons and fight the corrupt officials at the top!
Su Nian, seemingly oblivious to their reactions, continued speaking leisurely, as if afraid they wouldn't be angry.

"Oh right, do you know what the lords in the upper district are planning to do after not receiving enough Earth Essence for several months?"

"They plan to lower the price of Earth Core and then raise the price of supplies sold to the lower districts!!"

"Do you know what I found out in the upper district—how much are they planning to sell us the bread for?"

At this point, Su Nian's voice gradually turned angry.

"Five hundred thousand Winter City Shields!! A full five hundred thousand Winter City Shields!!"

"This is exactly the price of the bread they want to raise!!"

"The lords of the upper district have never cared about the lives of us in the lower district, not even that fraudulent Grand Guardian Cocolia!!"

"Do you all remember what the High Warden promised before severing the connection between the upper and lower zones? Because the lower zone wouldn't be affected by the Rift, she withdrew the Silvermane Iron Guards and cut off the connection between the upper and lower zones!!"

"But what about now? I don't need to elaborate on what happened in Rivet Town not long ago, do I?"

It must be said that Su Nian's speech was highly persuasive.

The residents of the lower classes did the hardest and most arduous work, never seeing the light of day, yet they were still exploited by the upper classes, not only going hungry but also lacking water.
Even the most basic medical facilities and supplies are extremely scarce.

Under such prolonged high-pressure conditions, all residents in the lower-level areas have long since reached a critical point.

They only need one fuse, the kind that explodes at the slightest touch.

Su Nian's words were undoubtedly the trigger!
"My fellow countrymen, you no longer need to be confused."

"Come on, stand up with me!!"

"Tell me, what are we supposed to do?!"

Su Nian shouted loudly, her booming voice echoing throughout the clinic.

"Take over to the Upper District! Overthrow Belloberg's rule and reclaim everything that belongs to us!!!"

"Take back everything that belongs to us!!!"

"Take back what belongs to us."

Upon hearing this, the homeless people and miners in the clinic shouted almost fanatically.
