Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Just as Zhou Qiqi was about to stop singing, Zhan Huang gestured, took a few steps back, stood motionless by the window, and nodded, indicating that she should continue singing.

Zhou Qiqi was suspicious, her calm demeanor masking a wary look in her eyes.

After finishing the song, Zhou Qiqi hesitated before putting away the sheet music.

Seeing that Zhan Huang was leaning against the window and still not moving, Zhou Qiqi asked him curiously, "Are you here to trade sheet music?"

A flicker of confusion crossed the War Emperor's cold eyes. He said, "I suppose so."

Is it?

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be preoccupied.

"Mr. War Emperor," Zhou Qiqi asked politely, "you've been in China for a week now, how do you find it?"

She wanted to chat casually and confirm the purpose of the War Emperor's visit to China.

Is it her or China?

The War Emperor hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "It's very good here. Everyone is basically well-fed and warmly dressed. I've inquired about your frontline defenses, and they all say they can guarantee that everyone has enough to eat."

He finished speaking, and the atmosphere froze.

Zhou Qiqi quickly chimed in to support her, saying, "We're working hard here to make sure everyone has enough to eat."

Although old-age security has not been fully implemented.

However, young people have jobs, and the government covers their basic expenses, education, and healthcare.

"Life here... is better than back home." The War Emperor's eyes were filled with obvious disappointment as he shook his head and covered his face. "It seems we've run into some problems..."

Looking at the War Emperor's expression, Zhou Qiqi recalled the situation in the Western countries of her original world.

Oh~~

It turns out it's the same here.

Capitalism ruthlessly exploits ordinary people.

Looking at the War Emperor's expression, Zhou Qiqi was filled with countless thoughts.

He said calmly, "That's because our national system is people-oriented. Even though many people are causing trouble, our leaders and the vast majority of people are still working hard to adhere to the development policy that taught us to follow."

"If there are any problems on your end..."

Zhou Qiqi paused for three seconds before looking into Zhan Huang's eyes and saying, "It is up to you to correct the mistakes. We cannot rely on others for many things; we must rely on ourselves."

“I believe you have the ability to make a difference. You are a powerful warrior in your country, and so is your family… If people at the top like you stand idly by, how can the common people at the bottom change their lives under oppression?”

"After a long day of work, all they want to do when they get back is rest, or think about death. They don't have time to think about anything else. Even if they wanted to resist, with their abilities... ten thousand civilians couldn't defeat a mid-level warrior."

Upon hearing Zhou Qiqi's words, the War Emperor raised his left hand and forcefully dug it into his hair.

After a long silence, he let out a heavy sigh.

The sound is clearly audible.

Is it that troublesome?

Zhou Qiqi asked cautiously, "Could you tell me what's going on with the Western Eagle Empire?"

The War Emperor looked up at Zhou Qiqi with a complex expression.

Zhou Qiqi immediately pointed to the chair next to her: "Please sit down, let's sit and talk."

At her prompting, the War Emperor sat down.

Next, Zhou Qiqi heard about the even more frenzied and miserable lives of the people of the Western Eagle Empire in this version of the story.

“The training of soldiers on the front lines requires them to pay for it.”

"Children with higher potential will start training in factories from the year after their test results are released, to ensure they can provide supplies on the front lines. This includes making clothes, cooking food, and repairing machines... This isn't free; it's like tuition, and they have to pay for it..."

"Ordinary people, under the protection of the government, are required to pay a protection tax and take turns doing tasks on their days off once a month without pay. Sometimes it is to help factories, and sometimes it is to clean the streets. The tasks are varied, and the purpose is to motivate everyone."

"They have to buy food and water, and most people can only afford one or two meals a day..."

"In terms of medical care, the fees are reasonable for basic medical care. But if you need to hire a singer... the cost is equivalent to the value of a mid-level beast bead."

Zhou Qiqi quickly interrupted, "Can ordinary people obtain beast beads?"

The War Emperor shook his head: "In order to protect ordinary people, they are not allowed to leave the defense boundary without permission. If they are found out, they will be fined."

Zhou Qiqi then asked, "Do mercenaries charge fees when they go out? And... do they pay taxes when they hunt exotic beasts?"

Under Zhou Qiqi's gaze, the War Emperor forced himself to nod.

"There are fees and taxes. If you can't return within a day... the tax will increase. Over there, it's calculated based on the number of days of travel; if you exceed the limit, the tax amount will double for each hour."

Zhou Qiqi chuckled: "You really are a country controlled by capitalists. Everything is about business. You don't care about their lives at all, as long as the money is in your account."

She remembered the circus's actions against the Great Christian Empire.

So he followed up by asking, "Is the population in your area not very large?"

The War Emperor hesitated slightly before answering, "Compared to China, the number is smaller."

The man answered cautiously.

Afraid of losing face?

Zhou Qiqi had no interest in saving the Western Eagle Empire.

Since the War Emperor has this intention to rectify the injustice on that side, then he should take the lead in resolving it.

He is from the Western Eagle Empire, while Zhou Qiqi is not.

While there is no obligation to do so, well-intentioned advice is permissible.

Zhou Qiqi said to Zhan Huang, "Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical care, and support for young children and the elderly, as well as retired military officers. Under dire circumstances, you must resolve at least one of these issues within three years."

"If we have money, the easiest things to solve are clothes and bedding. If there are no problems with these resources, then we can start by ensuring the children's learning environment and their food and drink, and then solve other problems step by step."

Zhou Qiqi noticed the War Emperor's flickering eyes, as if he had taken her words to heart, and took a step forward to get closer to him.

"If you have a hard time deciding on something, you can listen to other people's opinions. Mercenaries in the Meditation World are a large social group, coming from all walks of life, from elites to ordinary people, with distinctions between well-off and poor families."

"Mercenaries are mostly experienced and have a lot of social experience and connections. You can get very objective opinions from different people you meet."

"At the same time, many mercenaries should love their hometowns and families, making them your best targets for mobilization."

Zhou Qiqi pondered for a moment and said, "I once saw a quote that I'd like to share with you."

"An egg broken from the outside is food; an egg broken from the inside is new life."

“You should lead your people to rebuild the country and improve those unequal treaties and regulations. I believe there must be many people on your side who want change. Seeking outside intervention must also make you feel very unsafe, right?”

The War Emperor's resolve gradually hardened.

He had previously visited China on a mission, but during his short stay, he did not notice any differences between the countries.

This trip is to get a feel for Zhou Qiqi and Sister Wei, and also to find out about the national strength of China.

In just one week, he saw the difference between the two.

The War Emperor is a noble young master from the Western Eagles, so calling him the Prince of the Empire is perfectly reasonable.

He had been to the front lines and also interacted with civilians.

Now, as a mercenary, he knows a great deal about his country.

Having come to China and seen many things clearly, the War Emperor became confused.

In contrast to China, his country is a minority state.

Yesterday, he led his team into the beast horde to fight and relieve his inner frustration.

The War Emperor has come here secretly to ask the girl, whom Sister Wei said would save humanity, what advice she has for his country's situation.

The conversation with her was simple, yet it deeply moved him, gave him inspiration, and helped him easily sort out his thoughts.

"you're right."

The War Emperor had figured things out in his mind and had a preliminary plan.

He plans to use his position and resources to acquire a seed company, so that at least everyone, especially the children, can have enough to eat.

Zhan Huangchao's Zhou Qiqi tossed a high-level beast bead.

Zhou Qiqi nimbly caught the wind as it hit her.

"This is……"

"Consulting fee." The War Emperor's face remained cold, but his eyes were no longer as sharp and piercing.

Zhou Qiqi happily accepted it: "Thank you so much, you're such a kind person!"

A flame ignited in the War Emperor's eyes: "I need to buy a song, its lyrics and sheet music."

“You must sing it out loud and beat my brother, Olek.”
