I'm bad, but players love me

"I want to correct one thing, Miss Ah Dai." Those black eyes were devoid of any light. The sunlight shone through the window onto Yun Shuo, but it avoided those terrifying eyes. "I am the commander of ELO. So, why can't I follow myself?"

After a "bang" of a gunshot, the player's body slid off the back of the chair, and the bullet hole in the middle of her forehead was the cause of her death.

Yun Shuo, whose face was splattered with blood, wiped the blood with his finger and slowly put it into his mouth. Then he looked straight ahead and said, "Blood filled with divine power is no different from the blood of ordinary people."

"Huh?!" Ah Dai seemed to have been shocked. He suddenly dropped the mouse and was completely stunned. "You're exposing yourself already?"

Shocked, she tucked her hair behind her ears and stared at the frantic barrage of comments, the content of which was completely indistinguishable, and the gradually rising popularity. She asked in confusion, "No, when did Di Chou not only disregard the setting but also use his brain? Yun Shuo is the commander? That discussion I read earlier was actually correct?"

Chapter 43: Change

The promotional gimmick of "Crisis of Faith" has always been that it is the first completely free game with an extremely rich plot, claiming that everyone can play out their own plot.

However, this kind of thing is enough to deceive the players, what do you mean by directly deceiving the planners?

According to common sense, it is basically a bluff that everyone plays out their own story, with more scattered side stories and more main story endings. As a result, the main story has now collapsed.

"You better explain today why the ELO organization is so awesome all of a sudden? Just because I told you to add AI, that's how you do it, right?"

"Come on, come on, if you're good enough, come on. You're just a lousy copywriter, and you're acting like a jerk here?"

"Is this a problem? Is this a problem of being wild? This is a problem of the plot not being able to continue!"

"Why didn't you tell us there was a problem back then? Who's going to fix it now? There's a huge uproar out there! We can still call it a bug if we fix it within two days. Let's figure it out quickly!"

"In two days? I can't fix it even if I give you my life. They made this mess, and there's no way the plot can fix it."

"What's wrong with us? You guys agreed to add AI in the first place!"

"Okay, stop arguing! What should we do now? The players are almost becoming the villains! They haven't figured it out yet, but they will definitely react later."

"I told you all at the beginning that Yun Shuo should be killed off sooner rather than later, but you kept dragging your feet. Now look what's going on, it's all over."

"This is not the time to shirk responsibility! Someone come and find a way to change it!"

But now no one can say anything, the meeting room is in chaos, no one wants to take responsibility, and everyone is trying their best to shift the blame to others.

"I have an idea." A weak voice came from the corner, and the noisy people stopped making noise at once. It was great that someone took the initiative to take the blame.

"Tell me about it."

"Why don't we just let players split into factions? Since freedom is already unstoppable, why not make it even more free and let players fight each other? Then, 'there will be great scholars to debate for me.' Regardless, it's the players' independent choice, and future operations will be based on which faction has the most players."

"Put the blame on the players? Sure! Just follow what they say. Young people have lots of ideas, and actively speaking up will be good for the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, the person who proposed the idea knew that he had a good chance of getting promoted, and his heart was filled with excitement.

I never thought that one day I would have to thank a virtual character.

Now that the biggest blame has been solved, the rest of the things will naturally need to be dealt with.

"The original plot was that after the city lord died of illness, Ella discovered that her father's death was actually caused by someone from the ELO organization who secretly poisoned him. At the same time, the ELO organization and Setash were colluding to rebel. Then, Ella used ruthless means, with the help of the players, to resolve the situation."

"However, due to early setup issues, some players went straight to the Kingdom of Wind. Therefore, we need to make it so they can freely choose to return when a rebellion occurs."

"The current solution is to allow players to return to Cori City as aid, under the pretext that Lumi and Ella are friends. However, this way, it seems that players will no longer have the right to choose their ELO organization."

"Also, Setaishi needs new lines."

"No, no, no, the most important thing is, what about ELO? If another player joins, will we win or lose? We can't just let the two sides get stuck like this, right?"

"Whichever side the player joins wins."

"That's fine, but how do we win in ELO? Why not put the later settings first so that they connect the dots? Okay, meeting dismissed, everyone, get moving, we've been working overtime lately."

The discussion area was also in turmoil at this moment.

【Cross-Eyes: Where is that guy from before? Why is my collection gone?】

[Heee: I was anonymous before, but then someone openly mocked me in the comments section, saying that if I liked Yun Shuo, I should just like Yun Shuo. It's fine if I'm just a villain's dog, but I have to give my master some value. I was so angry that I deleted the post.]

[Nittian Boss: No, I really didn't expect that. You, a "commander", just rushed in to do the assassination, don't you have any subordinates?]

[Five Spice Egg: Judging from the current situation, it seems that the only ones who can fight well are the four-star Willis and this commander. There's nothing wrong with assassinating them yourself.]

[I am Yun Shuo's dog: No more pretending, let's be frank, I am Yun Shuo's dog. The post has not been deleted, I worked so hard on it, why should I delete it? I just locked it, the comments are still there, and now it is public again.

I'm no longer the same person I used to be. After all these days of being scolded, I've evolved. That's right, I'm Yun Shuo's dog. I'll lead the ELO and kill you idiots. I'll lead the charge!

【Why are you squeezing me? It's over, this guy has turned into the shape of ELO. 】

At this time, most players' attitude towards joining the ELO camp was not that they really thought they were righteous, but they were just having fun. The main reason was that most people had a rebellious mentality. There were too many people standing on the side of the nobles, and their quality was uneven and they liked to bite people. Naturally, they would do something to make them unhappy and fight back.

Although the ELO organization has a strong presence, its portrayal is average. It mainly appears in "cult" scenes, and especially in the early stages, it is not possible to join the camp.

It wasn't until the news of "Yun Shuo is the commander" broke out that the official said:

"'Crisis of Faith' is a completely free game. The story you see is actually their life. Life is not right or wrong, it is extremely complicated. The path players choose will determine their future."

To put it bluntly: If you think the powerful are wrong, then join ELO or form your own team to attack them. Stop nagging me. You say we're unfree if we're on the side of justice, and you say we're immoral if we're not on the side of justice. What exactly do you want?

Once these words were spoken, they undoubtedly led to a new direction for the plot.

As the first person to come to the conclusion that "Yun Shuo is the commander-in-chief", I, Yun Shuo's dog, can naturally take advantage of this opportunity to start a live broadcast.

At this time, Yun Shuo didn't know that his initiative to expose himself as the ELO commander would cause such a huge butterfly effect outside. This trend even made the Dishou Company take the initiative to back off and choose to slightly change the time for his appearance.

It was also unexpected that under this favorable trend, a group of well-trained and 100% loyal players would choose to join the ELO organization.

Of course, it would be better if those players could be less extreme.

Chapter 44: Are you sure?

"That's right everyone, I am 'I am Yun Shuo's Dog'." The other party was obviously a novice in live streaming. His control of the screen was far less proficient than other anchors. The background of his live broadcast was also an ordinary person's plain home, but this did not stop his popularity in the live broadcast room from rising steadily.

Of course, as Yun Shuo’s dog, the background can be plain and the lighting can be dim, but the collar is indispensable, especially when there is a bell hanging directly on it.

The other party even pulled it to show that this thing is absolutely genuine and not one of those fake special effects.

The crisp sound of the bell immediately made many people who entered the live broadcast room react by exiting immediately to see if they had accidentally entered a live broadcast room of a niche circle with special hobbies.

"Thanks for the gifts, everyone. I'm just playing around, mainly to make them angry. I also stream while playing games, so my streaming schedule is irregular. Um, you can call me Gouzi. 'I'm Yun Shuo's Dog' is too long."

After stammering out his thanks for a few cheap gifts, he started playing the game directly.

"I've already changed my name to 'Yun Shuo's Dog'. And according to Dishou's update this morning, the requirements for joining the ELO organization are very simple. As long as you're not currently in the elite camp and have no record of killing people, you'll be fine."

"I'm currently mainly following the online guide, which is roughly the same route as 'Mr. Dumb'. However, since we don't belong to Ella's camp, the scene will be different after the conversation."

After entering the plot, Yun Shuo was still sitting there with a scarf around his neck. The difference from the scene with Ah Dai was that now he was holding a book and reading.

Similarly, after seeing someone coming, Yun Shuo gestured to the chair opposite him, "Please sit down, Mr. Yun Shuo's dog."

Gouzi was clearly a bit overwhelmed; this name was indeed too embarrassing. He cleared his throat in a serious manner, and then a dialog box popped up: [Hello Mr. Yun Shuo, I would like to join the ELO organization.]

"I'm surprised you have such an idea." Yun Shuo tapped his fingers on the red book, as if thinking about something. He raised his head and asked, "What makes you think this? You don't look like someone who has been forced into a corner by life."

【Isn't there someone like me in the ELO organization? 】

"No, not one." Yun Shuo looked at him straight, then quickly lowered his eyes.

That glance made Gouzi inexplicably feel that he was too late. An inexplicable urge surged in his chest, making him want to change something right now.

I am honored to be the first.

Yun Shuo was puzzled as this person was similar to Ah Dai and looked like he was out to kill him, but his attitude was very... loyal?

With the system as a cheat, he naturally didn't want to waste it. He asked directly in his mind: "System, which faction is this person from?"

[Neutral camp. Probably someone's smurf. He probably saw the land was ugly and started a new line, so he came here to complete the achievement. Host, you can try to recruit him into the ELO organization. He's not an undercover agent anyway.] The system said nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Yun Shuo did not immediately agree to Gou Zi's joining. He slowly stood up and opened the only window in the house.

Gou Zi knew that this meant Yun Shuo had agreed to his joining, or at least had no intention of using the sedatives in the air to knock him out.

At this time, the barrage also noticed something wrong.

[Logically speaking, once a cult has grown to a certain size, it would be easy for it to attract powerful and influential people to join. Why is there not even one?]

[Yes, in fact, if ELO had really developed to this extent, someone would have tried to share the benefits long ago.]

"That's right, the nobles can't all be good people. If you think about it that way, shouldn't the ELO organization have had a relationship with the nobles long ago?"

[It's impossible that Yun Shuo was planning to usurp the throne from the very beginning.]

[Also, I feel like the paragraph Di Chou posted yesterday was a patch for future plots, and a way to pass on the blame.]

The weather outside the window is very good. Through the window, you can clearly see people working hard in the wheat fields, their figures bent over and crouching on the ground. The dazzling sunlight makes their exposed skin red. In the distance, there are earthen houses with curling smoke.

"Sir, I want you to understand one thing. What we are about to face is a war, a war waged to allow them to work here. I welcome you to join us, but I hope you can reconsider. Are you sure you want to join a side with such a huge disparity in strength that is almost certain to lose? Even so, are you sure?"

【I am sure.】

The dog immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"If you win, you might get a better life than before, but you won't have a higher status than before. You will live an equal life with everyone else outside. You will all be equals. Even so, are you sure?"

【I am sure.】

"This war will undoubtedly be bloody. We will face countless people who hold opposing views, and we cannot coexist with them. Just as one person cannot be controlled by two brains, the contradictions between us are irreconcilable. You will most likely have to turn swords against your own friends and family. Even so, are you sure?"

【I am sure.】

"We will spare no expense, sacrifice everything we can, to take back the freedom that is ours from those who oppress and humiliate us."

Yun Shuo turned around and extended his palm to Gou Zi. "Welcome to our ELO organization, Comrade Gou, Yun Shuo. From now on, we are like-minded comrades."

Gou Zi mechanically controlled the character to shake hands. After the words "Yun Shuo's Comrade Dog" came out, not only the barrage, but even he himself felt that something was not right.

[The first part was so exciting that I couldn't even chew the food in my mouth. The phrase "Yun Shuo's dog comrade" was even worse. I almost vomited.]

[Okay, okay, I treat you as a comrade, but you just want to be my dog.]

【Yun Shuo: How presumptuous of you.】

"I'll take you to Willis, my deputy. If I die, he'll be the next commander of ELO. Or, would you like to explore this place first?"

【I want to go out for a walk alone first. 】

Gouzi chose to watch it himself without hesitation. "I am now sure of one thing: 'Crisis of Faith' is truly fucking free."

Chapter 45: Blame Yourselves

At this point, the storyline of "Crisis of Faith" can be roughly divided into two directions: one is to align yourself with Ella's faction, and the other is to align yourself with Yunshuo's faction. In terms of both character rarity and difficulty, Ella's side is undoubtedly in easy mode, while Yunshuo's side is in hard mode.

The reason why Gou Zi said that "Crisis of Faith" is free is that when he first saw the three words "female-oriented", he had already determined that the game was mostly about being in love. It was only after he found that the character "Yun Shuo" was a bit interesting that he got to know the game in depth and got into it.

However, it was not until they were officially divided into camps and Yun Shuo said that war was bound to break out that Gou Zi suddenly realized that this thing could also do "micro-control" work.

After Gou Zi left, Willis hurried in from outside. After seeing Yun Shuo, his first reaction was incomprehension.

"Why would you do this? This man is an adventurer, he's in league with those nobles. Do we expect him to believe that he would stand in our shoes, understand our situation, and communicate with us as equals?"

"He has the same ideas as us. We need their strength."

"Like you need the power of some nobles?" Willis stared at Yun Shuo intently, "You are courting disaster!"

His shoulders were shaking, and the intense anger of being humiliated made it difficult for him to remain calm in front of his commander.

"Have Setaishi's men arrived?" Yun Shuo comforted him. "What happened? Did you resist?"

"I thought he was your distinguished guest, so no. I have stopped all those who planned to resist." Willis turned his face away. The scene of humiliation was still vivid in his mind, but he was worried that it would hinder Yun Shuo's plan, so he almost gritted his teeth and swallowed the pain.

Yun Shuo forcefully straightened Willis's head and said, "You must tell me, what's wrong?"

The subordinate sent by Setash also seemed to be a minor noble. When he stepped down from the carriage with a haughty air, and the air from the civilian area mixed with mud and sand hit her, she pulled out her handkerchief and covered her nose with disgust. "Oh, this place is disgusting."

In order to show her friendliness, when the coachman subconsciously jumped down and knelt to become her human stool for getting off the carriage, she took the initiative to kick him and signaled him to roll aside.

"Hello, I'm Willis. I'm sent by the ELO organization to discuss the cooperative relationship with you." Willis took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

In order to appear decent and respectful to the other party, the clothes he wore did not have a single patch on them - they were all new clothes that were kept deep in the closet and which he would never wear on weekdays.

The other man suddenly frowned, turned his head away, and subconsciously rolled his eyes. "Cover your mouth and don't blow into me. Are all men in places like yours so frivolous? If you're being horny, please don't show it in front of me, okay?"

Willis tensed the veins in his forehead, trying hard not to punch the arrogant fool to death. "Please show some respect."

"Oh, about that." The other person laughed contemptuously. She simply twitched the right corner of her mouth, treating it as an apologetic smile. "Well, I'm really sorry. I thought this was part of your daily life. If it made you feel uncomfortable, I'm really sorry."

Then, without caring about Willis's expression, she walked inside and said, "I think we can start discussing this."

The long brown fur was wrapped around her arms, and the extra length was held in her hands, while her hands moved restlessly with the tone of her voice, causing the "little tail" to jump in her hands as well.
