I'm bad, but players love me

When Yun Shuo was with Ella, he had already come into contact with guns blessed by divine power. The gods were so generous to her believers that even a babbling toddler could easily kill hundreds of adults with the help of these weapons.
If the original power of a gun is only 1, then divine power can easily increase the power by a hundred times. Not to mention those who are directly granted divine power by the gods.
Setash is not a fool. He would never entrust the task of assassinating the young city lord to an ordinary person. After all, the time of the assassination is when he is dancing with Ella, and if he is not careful, it will become an assassination of himself.
He chose the time to reduce his suspicion, not because he had lived long enough and wanted the sniper to choose between him and Ella and shoot him in the head, or to let them go together.
Therefore, Yialos's shooting ability can definitely be called top-notch, but it is this top-notch ability coupled with an absolutely perfect hand, a gun that even Yialos himself believes is perfect, that is why Ella was able to avoid the assassination so easily and even succeed in counterattacking.
If Yun Shuo had not met him at that time, Yialos would have been dead. If Yun Shuo did not have the system, even if Yialos survived, he would not be able to do any physical labor for the rest of his life.
How many other blessed beings like Ella were there? Yun Shuo had no idea, but the disparity in power made him realize that the ELO organization couldn't afford to waste time. They had to strike down those powerful individuals before they could even dream of disbanding the ELO organization without a fight.
Yun Shuo avoided Yialos's gaze, lowered his head and blinked guiltily. Finally, he chose to change the subject, "Has anything happened in the ELO organization recently?"
"There are too many people and no money." Yialos said rather aggrievedly, "Otherwise I wouldn't be out here to earn extra money."
"What have those powerful people done now?" Yun Shuo reflected on himself and realized that he had not been imprisoned for long.
"After the implementation of the rationing system, there were numerous raids in the slums. Taxes were multiplied, not just on them. Taxes in the civilian areas were also increased several times. In previous years, they only asked for money, but now they're even taking food stored in homes. They claim it's to 'improve the rationing system.' Many people have directly clashed with the tax collectors, and as a result, a large number of them have applied to join our ELO."
Yialos's words were quite tactful, but Yun Shuo knew that to put it mildly it was a "conflict", and to put it more seriously it was a "unilateral massacre".
Ah Wen had been standing beside the two men, listening silently since some time had passed, her body still stained with blood. She was undoubtedly uneasy, her shoes gone, her feet huddled together, wishing they could fold them together and stand alone, taking up as little space as possible and not offend the two high-ranking officials in front of her.
Her brain was swollen with excitement. Seeing that the two of them were silent, as if they had run out of topics to talk about, she dared to ask a second time with a timid look on her face: "Can I join ELO?"
Awen regretted it right after she finished speaking. Her voice was barely louder than a mosquito's buzz. Moreover, Yun Shuo was someone she had blackmailed before. She recalled Yun Shuo's expression when he said, "Don't use ELO as an excuse anymore," and she felt more and more guilty about what she had done.
It was quiet all around, so quiet that even the sound of breathing seemed unusually loud. She began to regret how wrong she had been. How could she have ever thought she could join ELO? Regret spread throughout her heart.
"Say it louder. This is not something difficult to talk about, right?" Yun Shuo asked softly.
Awen looked straight at the man in front of her, and her expression showed an expression that should not have appeared on her face long ago - a kind of naive surprise.
She had never looked up at the temple, because she knew that she would never be able to enter it in her lifetime. She had never tried to pray. Her soul had always been in fear and false intoxication, the former being the fists of others and the latter being cheap alcohol.
But she never felt at peace, which gave her an uneasy attachment.
Awen widened his eyes and began to look carefully at the man in front of him.
He had been so brutal before. The pain in his abdomen had gone away, but the bruises were still there. He shot them without hesitation, as if they were just pigs and dogs, and their deaths were not worth being surprised about.
But when he calmed down, Awen could hardly see him as the same person as before. His gentle yet firm gaze made her believe that she could pray to him because the real god was standing before her.
She stretched herself, imitating the great men who straightened their backs, but she leaned back too far, looking comical like a shrimp with its back arched. Her eyes were piercing, gleaming as she stared directly at the two people staring back at her, and she shouted, "I want to join ELO!"
"Hello, comrade from ELO." Yun Shuo stood up and solemnly extended his hand. "We share the same aspirations: freedom and equality."
Awen was overjoyed and clasped Yun Shuo's outstretched hand with both hands, letting him sway it up and down a few times. However, he was stunned when he heard the word "equality". "Equality means that even if we win, we are still the same people?"
"We are all originally the same people, but someone deliberately divides us into different categories."
"If we win, those noble lords will no longer have the right to kill us at will, right?" Awen asked with red eyes.
She knew she had said something stupid, but she couldn't help but doubt it.
There are many people in the ELO organization, thousands and thousands of them, and Awen knows that he has no ability at all. He is not good at thinking, fighting, and he did not come in with his own wealth. He has to lick other people's food and eat their food. In short, he is inferior to others in every way.
Therefore, if ELO wins in the end, she will still have no say when it comes to rewarding people based on merit and seniority. In the end, she will most likely still be a commoner, with a more prestigious title at best and some money in her hands.
But if the top executives of ELO become the powerful class and I am still a commoner, if those people dislike me for some reason, I will still be beaten to death in the end.
If Yun Shuo hadn't said it, she wouldn't have thought of such a beautiful thing, but since Yun Shuo said it, how could she not think of it?
"There will be no more noble masters." Yun Shuo said with certainty, "If we win, there will be no more noble masters. Everyone will be the same."
Chapter 35: No, why?
"Young City Lord, the number of civilian deaths has increased significantly recently, and there are many..."
Ella waved her hand impatiently. "Let your subordinates handle these matters. How is the situation with Father? After meeting with the gods, I hope to speak with him directly."
"The city lord has been ill recently and refuses to meet with anyone."
Unable to button her shirt, Ella grew increasingly irritated. "Even me isn't there? What's wrong with my father?"
"No news has been released. I guess they don't want you to worry."
Ella took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Could it be that her father knew she wanted to discuss something with him and that was why he was deliberately keeping her away? No, when she had proposed the idea of raising taxes, he had agreed straight away.
Considering his age, maybe my father is really sick.
After thinking it over, Ella hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter on the desk. "Give it to my father. If he has a reply, please give it to me immediately."
Straightening her clothes, Ella walked out and asked, "Has the adventurer arrived?"
"Already waiting in the waiting room."
At the banquet hosted by Setash, Ella suffered a truly humiliating fate. First, she was assassinated, and then the assassin, who was clearly seriously injured, was nowhere to be found. Even though Ella immediately sent a large number of troops to track him down, there was no trace of the assassin, and some of them were even lost.
There is no way to hold Setash responsible. After the assassination, he was obviously in a trance and it was obvious that he was frightened. After the banquet, he was bedridden and has shown no signs of improvement until now.
In just a few days, there were three consecutive assassinations. Where is the dignity of the city lord?
Ella thought about it for a long time. She went over everything in detail - the most likely possibility was that the real culprit behind the scenes was the ELO organization.
Assassination was not the focus of their plan at all. Their goal was to disrupt the scene and take the opportunity to rescue Yun Shuo.
Working together inside and outside is a really good strategy!
Whenever Ella thought of Yun Shuo, she was furious. She had treated him to delicious food and drinks, but he had simply taken advantage of everything and left. When he was with her, he hadn't even given in, always opposing her. After saving her, he had even less regard for her.
Then he thought about what his father said, that if he couldn't subdue him, he should just kill him. But he actually thought that this man was not a bad person by nature, and was just temporarily deceived by ELO, so he let him go again and again!
If she had known Yun Shuo would eventually leave, Ella would never have gone easy on him! Not to mention letting him know so much about firearms, which would eventually become a tool for others.
However, in this case, Yun Shuo should also be aware of how backward ELO's weapons are.
Ella couldn't help but imagine: Yun Shuo would definitely want to study weapons carefully after returning, but he found that he couldn't even get enough food to eat, let alone research funds.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
The main purpose of raising taxes is to target ELO organizations. When civilians still have 70% of their money, they have extra money to do things they shouldn't do, such as funding ELO organizations, but when civilians have no money, they will only think about how to support themselves.
Without money, I wonder how your ELO organization can develop!
As for the adventurer who appeared out of nowhere and tried to shield her from the bullet, Ella knew that she should also thank him.
Allowing adventurers to enter the temple has always been considered the highest level of hospitality, and Ella will naturally treat them with the highest etiquette.
After receiving the invitation, Ah Dai was also quite excited to accept the task and sat there waiting for Ella's arrival. "I told you, little Ella has me in her heart."
[Young? The opponent seems to be in his twenties, while the player is just an adult.]
You'd better talk about age.
[The slums are already open, but the host is still hanging around the temple. The progress is too slow.]
"Why didn't you say the dungeon was ugly? Everyone left Cori City, and now it's opening a new dungeon. They need to come back."
You know what? I haven't seen anyone unlock more storylines in Cori City than Ah Dai. He's so good, with bosses popping up all the time. I'm still haunted by the shadow of Setaishi. He was such a yandere, and yet he's already trying to usurp power.
"Sorry for the long wait, Ah Dai." Ella's appearance really amazed everyone. Her complicated and gorgeous clothes and pure and sacred temperament directly turned on everyone's XP switch.
[Sister stepped on me! ]
[I was wrong. Ah Dai, this place smells really good. I will never say your story is slow again. Even though the story is slow, my wife smells really good!]
Ah Dai looked at the comments with a look of both pride and regret, and felt relieved. "Hey, what are you all thinking about? I'm talking about 'Ah Dai', it has nothing to do with you bunch of old perverts."
In fact, it is quite surprising that this plot point can be opened. After all, Ella's favorability towards Ah Dai is not high, just passing. Many anchors have almost maxed out their favorability, but Ella has never taken them to the temple to pray.
The low level of favorability can be seen from the fact that Ella and her don't have many conversations. No matter how Ah Dai brings up the topic, Ella chooses to end it quickly, leaving the two of them in silence. If Ah Dai tries to force her to speak, his favorability will be deducted.
"No, this..." Ah Dai suddenly had a bad premonition. She asked the barrage, "What do you think, if I talk about Yun Shuo now, will Ella respond?"
【Is the Green Turtle back? 】
"That's not good. What if Ella is interested in this topic? That's not how NTR plays it."
[Ah Dai, there's no need to be so strict with yourself just for the sake of the show's effects... although I love watching it.]
"Come on, if you keep going like this, Ella will probably just be talking about Yun Shuo whenever she's with you."
[Yun Shuo: Although I am not here, I am everywhere.]
"So what do you say we should do? We finally have some time alone together, and the officials even specially put us on a carriage and let us choose when to get off. It's obviously a chance to improve our favorability, but my favorability has been reduced instead. If your favorability is below the passing level, you can't follow them into the temple."
Ah Dai thought about it again and again, and finally decided to open the conversation, even if it might force him to produce some "show effects" again. But he had tried everything else and couldn't talk anymore, so he had no choice but to do this.
[I heard that Yun Shuo stayed by your side until he escaped from the banquet?]
Ella, who had been sitting next to him with a blank expression, suddenly turned her head. Then, Ah Dai received a prompt: Favorability minus 10.
Chapter 36: I can force Yun Shuo out
I don't want to play anymore, I really don't want to play at all. If I don't talk about Yun Shuo, your favorability will drop. If I talk about Yun Shuo, your favorability will also drop. What do you want to do?
Ah Dai dropped the mouse, pouted, and was about to see what Ella had to say, but then she found that the other party's favorability was jumping around wildly, sometimes high, sometimes low, and finally stopped at the passing line and did not move.
"Adventurer, please don't misunderstand the relationship between him and me. From the moment he chose to leave, I have nothing to do with him anymore." Ella said it so seriously that she didn't even realize that her hands were tightly clasped together, and she repeatedly emphasized the "relationship" between the two of them in her words.
It seemed that she hoped that she could believe what she said more than asking Ah Dai to believe what she said.
What even she herself found difficult to admit was that her first reaction when she knew Yun Shuo had left was resentment. She felt resentful that the person she had pursued so hard actually didn't care about her at all. This made her hair stand on end. She couldn't imagine that she would actually have such thoughts.
This emotion, which she had suppressed forcibly, was revived again by someone else's unintentional inquiry, which made her feel dissatisfied.
"Sorry, I was rude." After releasing her entangled fingertips, Ella's lips curled up into a formal smile, "Yun Shuo and I are from opposing camps."
She knew that what she needed was a better teammate, and the adventurer in front of her was the perfect candidate. Otherwise, why would Lumi, the noble lady who came all the way from the Kingdom of Wind, develop such deep feelings for him?
The sunlight outside the carriage filtered through the lace curtains, enveloping the two people inside in a subtle warm light.
Her long hair was tucked behind her ears by her fingers, the movement was so gentle, but as her eyes moved, her scarlet eyes stared at her like a reptile staring at its prey. Ah Dai couldn't help but be attracted to her.
Ella leaned over gently, her fingertips hooked up the pigtails scattered on the other's shoulders, and her breath was as sweet as orchid. The air she exhaled blew the hair on the side of Ah Dai's face, bringing waves of itch. She asked softly, "We will be in the same camp, right?"
Faced with such beauty, Ah Dai naturally chose [Yes] without hesitation.
Even if Ella didn't say it, Ah Dai would always be her loyal supporter - this is really because Yun Shuo is such a beast.
At the beginning of the game, you wanted to destroy me, which I can understand. After all, we are not familiar with each other, and I am still disrupting your plans, which is reasonable. But in the slums, I really didn't do anything. I was really focused on ELO. That "hero saving the damsel" was so romantic: for you, I went against all odds.
I was thinking that the villain had finally done something human, and Ah Dai was ready to give himself to her, so he had to protect this beautiful woman who was good in every way except for her bad brain. Then she was killed with the extremely sloppy excuse of "it's not good to die in front of an old man."
It's not that they won't kill, it's that they kill in a different place. Which villain would do this?
Ah Dai wanted to find the Joker to argue with him at that time. This villain was obviously wasting his talent here. He was so good at playing, why not jump to Gotham? Plus, he was easily brainwashed, so he was definitely a general under the Joker.
After coming out of the temple, the status bar of Faith changed from "Is of Nothingness" to "Mani of Machinery". Ah Dai knew that the day when he could walk sideways in the city of Cori had finally arrived.
"Next, we can finally go to the [slums]. ELO, the offense and defense are now switched! Little Yun Shuo, you dare to kill me, right? You have to chase me with all your strength?" Ah Dai grinned so hard that his teeth were exposed, and he directly spent money to teleport to the outermost circle of the slums.
She hadn't been able to defeat him before, but then Ella came to his defense. She'd been holding this grudge for a long time. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, so she had it in hand.
[I bet you a dime that Ah Dai can't find anyone.]
[The ELO organization is very secretive, even that four-star character is nowhere to be seen.]
[Isn't Willis the commander-in-chief? Is it abnormal not to see him?]
[No, isn't that "you" still here? ]
"The plot and everything else don't matter at all. I'm going on a killing spree right now!" Then, Ah Dai, who had just arrived at the treasure land, was stopped by a gangster on the roadside before he had taken a few steps.
"Hand over all the money you have!" The gangster was so hungry that his face was pale and his body was thin, but he was still strong-willed and shouted viciously at Ah Dai with a knife in his hand.
Ah Dai didn't bother to argue and directly chose to [fight with her], but she didn't fight back at all, relying on her divine power to dodge. At this moment, Ah Dai's face was full of the word "invincible", and he said disdainfully: "I can't even hit him when I'm standing. Weak, too weak."
So after easily killing the opponent with one blow, she kindly popped up a dialog box, [Do you know where Yun Shuo is? Take me there, or I will kill you.]
The thug covered his face and asked pitifully, "People in the slums don't have names at all. That Yun Shuo must be a member of the ELO organization. How would I know where he is?"
Ah Dai continued to ask, "What does it mean that only people in the ELO organization have names?"
"The commander will give names to those who don't have names in the ELO organization."
Do you have a name?
"Of course I do," the thug who looked like he wouldn't live for many more days actually raised his head with pride. "My name is Dim. I'm not one of those untouchables from the slums. I'm a commoner."
[Then why are you here?] Although this is the edge of the slums, judging by the disdainful tone of this little thug, there's no way he'd stay here.
