I'm bad, but players love me

But Yun Shuo's expression was not affected by his wild thoughts at all. He still had that mysterious and understanding look. He smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to be like this. If you feel that what we give is too little, you don't have to accept it."
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Yun Shuo walked straight up to Dim. He was barely the same height as Dim and could look him in the eye, but the two of them had completely different auras that made this insignificant height difference obvious.
Yun Shuo's smile was restrained and disdainful at this moment. He said loudly, "I respect you, not fear you. If you think you can get more money by playing such tricks, you are totally wrong. Miss Dim, I remember that you used to be a gangster in the civilian area, right?"
As soon as the word "thug" came out, a look of contempt instantly appeared on the faces of Kani and others.
Yun Shuo continued, "I know it's still hard for you to let go of the past, but forget about this kind of banditry. We're not the kind of people who are not worthy of being seen in public, so please don't do such shameful things."
Chapter 59: Made of Steel
Yun Shuo knew very well the weaknesses of those who had suddenly climbed from a low position to a high position - their humble past was their eternal pain point, and if possible, they would wish to make those people and things that had witnessed their past disappear forever.
If you hit this pain point properly, it is not impossible to make the other person lose his composure in public.
Dim lowered his eyes, avoiding the gazes directed at him by those people.
She knew she had more important things to do and couldn't let her thoughts be disturbed at a time like this. "Don't change the subject. The main problem is that your guns are of poor quality, right? We're inspectors. If there's a problem with the guns, we'll be the first to die."
"Why are you all silent? Are you planning to die for this guy just for this little money? Don't be silly, why would he give us money?"
As she spoke, Dim gradually gained confidence. She shouted at Carney mercilessly: "Why should he give us money? To put it nicely, we are inspectors, but to put it bluntly, aren't we just a bunch of dogs who run around checking goods for others? Why should he curry favor with us? Can we get him another big business?"
"Don't be silly! Carney, think about it. He runs a factory, he's a businessman. Is it possible that he doesn't make a penny? If his quality is really good, why would he pay us? It's not like he has a bad relationship with those adults. There's only one possibility!"
Dim pointed his finger at Yun Shuo and roared at him, "This guy is cutting corners and trying to prevent us from finding these things. He's trying to buy our lives with a little money!"
Carney was naturally angry after being yelled at, but what Dim said did make sense.
Businessmen value profit, and no one would go to great lengths to lose money, especially for those businessmen, who even have the saying that "not making money is equivalent to losing money."
It seems that Lady Luo Lan has been spending money like water recently, as if the money was not hers. Her unscrupulous use of it, compared with her previous frugality, can only barely maintain a balanced account book.
The answer is already clear.
So, how much money would the extravagant Lord Luo Lan give to the man in front of him to pay for these guns? After all, spending money on oneself and spending money on the city lord are two different things.
If you spend one more cent on the city lord, you will have one less cent to spend yourself.
Kani still remembers that Yun Shuo said before that adults only paid 20% of the money, so is cutting corners excusable?
Carney doesn't want to die.
You are making money by cutting corners, but if I don't report the cutting corners, I'm playing with my life.
Seeing that Kani's eyes were gradually clearing up and his expression was becoming increasingly dangerous, Yun Shuo knew that he had to start fighting back immediately.
Before Carney could speak, he was the first to applaud, accepting Dim's accusations completely. "What a brilliant analysis. It makes me think of you with a new respect."
Everyone's eyes were on Yun Shuo, waiting for his explanation.
Yun Shuo walked over to the pistol that was broken in two and picked it up. "But don't you realize that none of your words hold water?"
He showed the gun in his hand. "Please explain. According to your original words, this should be 'broken if dropped,' but can you explain why, apart from the initial crack that split it in two, there is no further damage to the gun?"
There were indeed no more broken pieces on the gun in Yun Shuo's hand except for the one at the beginning.
Dim didn't notice this at first, and now under pressure, he didn't know how to explain this strange thing.
Her cheeks, originally flushed with excitement, suddenly turned pale, but she had no choice but to speak in front of everyone.
What should I do? She thought rapidly.
Why not just reveal that the factory manager is actually from the ELO organization? That would be enough, right? Of course, the products produced by the ELO organization are junk, otherwise why would they sell guns to nobles? You can't let the guns you produce kill you.
But will they believe it? Dim looked up at the crowd waiting for her answer. No, they won't believe it. They will just think I'm lying to avoid the mistakes I made.
Besides, even if they believed it, the factory director, a high-ranking member of the ELO organization, was present! The entire factory belonged to the ELO organization, so there was no way they could return alive.
Dim just wanted to ruin the deal. She just didn't want to lose her life in vain because of these shoddy weapons.
After thinking it over, Dim fell silent. She only hoped that Yun Shuo could continue speaking and not let this awkward silence continue for too long.
Yun Shuo pressed on, "Perhaps you don't quite understand. All guns are made of steel. And the stuff you gave me was simply cut in advance."
It's normal that Dim doesn't understand these things.
Although Cori City was a city of machinery, firearms were not affordable for ordinary people. Using class as a natural barrier, supplemented by knowledge and divine power, the people almost completely eliminated the possibility of ordinary people owning guns.
The little bit of opportunity left is not something a street thug like Dim can know about.
This led to her ignorance.
"This is all a misunderstanding," Dim said dryly. The moment she said this, it sounded more like she was deliberately targeting someone and blackmailing them.
As if unable to bear the atmosphere here, Dim hurriedly turned around and left.
Carney's expression softened, but she added, "I just don't know if you can still make money."
This time when she spoke to Yun Shuo again, her tone was obviously much more cautious.
"The most expensive thing in a factory is labor. Thanks to the city lord, people are now willing to work themselves to death as long as they can eat." Yun Shuo said with a forced smile, and it was unclear whether he was truly grateful or being sarcastic.
But this had nothing to do with Carney, she had just thought of something more.
For example, why did Dim buy a gun, and where did she buy it?
The factory manager had been very kind, giving her so much, but she still wasn't satisfied and was trying to extort money. What did she want so much money for? To buy more guns?
My relationship with her is not good to begin with. If the confrontation reaches a certain level, Dim, who is a gangster with low quality, will not lose his temper and destroy himself, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and took the initiative to please Yun Shuo, saying: "Don't worry, we are all on your side. We all know that you are right and righteous. We just don't know if you have any extra pistols. We don't have much experience, but we also want to see the real good stuff."
Carney was quite loyal and asked for some for the rest of the group as well.
Chapter 60: The future will bear witness
Yun Shuo naturally agreed. When he walked out the door, Dim had been standing outside for a long time.
She couldn't go back alone, nor did she have the face to stay inside, so she could only wait here and wait for those so-called companions to leave together.
Yun Shuo ignored her, just nodded and walked past her.
As they passed by, Dim spoke, "Are you satisfied?"
Her voice was soft and low, filled with confusion and bewilderment. "You've fooled us all like clowns. You deliberately arranged that gun, too, didn't you?"
Doing so would not only fool her, but also make her completely unable to hold her head up in front of those people. It would also make these people think of the incident of the censorship factory. Their first reaction would not be that Yun Shuo bribed them, causing them not to conduct a serious censorship, but her Dim's ridiculous "extortion".
Killing three birds with one stone. What a revenge without bloodshed.
"You've truly planned everything. You weren't the one who had the hand in my being chosen by the housekeeper? What about Luo Lan? She's also your puppet, right? And what about her? Is she also part of the plan?"
Dim even felt that his soul had floated out of his body, and he said these words because his consciousness was unclear.
She began to link everything to Yun Shuo, asking a series of questions without any beginning or end, but the only question she really wanted to ask was the last one.
Dim hid the word "Awen" because she couldn't say it. This was a name she could call out hundreds of times a day, but now it was so hot that she couldn't say it at all.
But she still hopes that the other person can understand what she is saying, even though she is not sure what the answer to the question she wants is.
She answered "yes". She was unhappy because Awen didn't consider her a friend at all, but she was also happy because what Awen said was not sincere.
She was unwilling to answer "no". From then on, Awen really had nothing to do with her anymore, but she was happy to think that she would not have to worry about being implicated by her in the future.
But Yun Shuo's answer was so abrupt that it completely surprised her. "Since you don't want to stay there, why don't you come to our place?"
Dim was shocked by this unconventional reply. She raised her head in astonishment and stared into Yun Shuo's eyes, as if she was not seeing a living person, but a monster.
If the other party wasn't a living monster, how could he say such a thing? Dim was sure of his thoughts. Yun Shuo was either a monster or a madman, or a complete idiot.
But Yun Shuo is not a fool, Dim has experienced this firsthand. Then he must be a monster, a madman!
"Don't look at me like that," Yun Shuo said with a laugh. "What's wrong? If servants who escaped from noble families don't join ELO, then the only thing waiting for them in the future is death. That's why there are many escaped servants in the ELO organization. Is my suggestion strange?"
"why?"
"You're Awen's friend. Unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to force her to choose between her ideals and friendship. This choice is too strange. Her ideals should also include her friends." Yun Shuo smiled and shrugged, then asked again, "How is it?"
Dim suddenly came to her senses and took a step back involuntarily. "Not so good. Don't worry, she's already told me that she's no longer my friend. I won't be in her ideals anymore."
Her voice was choked with sobs, but her mind was so calm, "We have chosen different paths, and have decided to walk them alone."
The look in Yun Shuo's eyes when he looked at her was exactly the same as the one Awen gave him at the beginning. That look deeply hurt Dim, so when Yun Shuo chose to leave, she chased after him, stood in front of him, and spoke again.
"Wake up, you and her. Your dreams will never come true. This is a world where the distinctions between high and low are clear. This is not the place for your wishful thinking. This world doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings. Why don't you admit it? Why don't you admit it?!"
Dim questioned Yun Shuo, questioned all the ELO organization members he represented, and questioned Awen, who had once struggled in the quagmire like her, but now seemed to be standing on a high place watching her struggle helplessly.
"So, we plan to change this world. Stop lying, you hate this too." Yun Shuo smiled, then pushed Dim aside as easily as brushing away a spider web blocking his way. "You will give them the guns later."
"Who can prove that you are right?" Dim was unwilling to let it end like this, she asked persistently.
"Right and wrong have always been the will of the masses. The past proved them wrong, and conversely, the future will prove us wrong." "Don't let Awen die." Dim said in a low voice, then stood back to where he was before. "I really did get that gun on the production line, so you'd better check it carefully."
Yun Shuo did not doubt the truth of what the other party said. After all, the gun he had shown to others was in his hand.
He reached out and carefully touched the broken edge, but it was traces of glue - they used all the unusable steel to make guns, and then perfunctorily glued it together and finished it.
Yun Shuo didn't remember saying that this thing could be used. "Who spread this method?"
"Yun Shuo's dog was the first to come up with this idea. Everyone has tried it, and this method generally won't go wrong unless the angle is too clever."
"But it's in trouble now," Yun Shuo stressed. "We can't do this anymore. We don't need to destroy the ones we've made now, but we can't make more. Otherwise, when they come for inspection, we won't be able to get away with it."
He calmly gave the order, and the whole matter was settled.
And the dog who had completely become Palu, worked so hard that he cursed his mother, and even considered whether quitting the game was the right choice finally woke up. No wonder not many people joined ELO. This camp was not entertaining at all, and boring was its synonym.
This camp is basically left alone by the authorities. As for the "micro-management" in Gou Zi's fantasy, it is completely impossible to exist because his position is completely inadequate and he is still just an ordinary worker.
The five big words "ELO organization member" on his head cannot make his life passionate, because the original meaning of the ELO organization is to enable people to live a peaceful life.
As for those who want to gain favorability by being close to the target, forget it. According to current information, there is only one four-star character "Willis" and a three-star character "Iyalos" who is hard to find in the ELO organization.
There are fewer and fewer people in the live broadcast room, and the only reason Gou Zi has been able to hold on until now is by being tough.
Chapter 61: The City Lord is dying
When the factory delivered the guns, Saitaishi finally had a second meeting with Yunshuo.
"What great weapons! I'm really looking forward to seeing what expressions those people will have when they use them." Saitaishi circled around Yun Shuo, looking at Yun Shuo's flattering face with pride.
"Your expression is quite novel." Saitaishi put his arm around Yun Shuo's shoulders like a good brother. "What did you do with these things?"
"You're joking, sir." Yun Shuo forcibly pulled the other person's hand off his shoulder. "Our factory has always done our work sincerely. Why would we deliberately give you a defective product?"
"Huh? Come on. We're all on the same side here, just say it directly." Setash shrugged nonchalantly. "Or do you, ELO, really intend to manufacture a large number of sophisticated weapons for your enemies?"
He turned around and waved as if calling a dog, "Hey, come here and show our dear factory director if your face looks familiar."
"This isn't my deal." Yun Shuo dodged Setai's hand that was still trying to grab his arm. "What do you know? How many of your spies are there in ELO?"
Saitaishi smiled indifferently and continued to put his arm around Yun Shuo's shoulders. He was forcing Yun Shuo to bow to him. His eyes told Yun Shuo that if he wanted to know, he had to choose to tolerate him.
Physical contact was only the first step. Yun Shuo had humiliated him in public. If Sai Taishi had let Yun Shuo go so easily, he wouldn't be an orphan now.
He wanted Yun Shuo to surrender voluntarily and admit his past mistakes. This was his ultimate goal. As for whether Yun Shuo was still qualified to survive after that, it depended on how much value he had at that time.
Yun Shuo was forced to stand with him arm in arm. It was such an intimate posture, as if they were brothers who could confide in each other.
"Can you tell me now?" Yun Shuo turned his head uncomfortably. "I don't want you to secretly form an alliance with Ella again."
Setash's laughter grew louder and louder. He slapped Yun Shuo's shoulder and said, "Don't overthink it, my ally. Do you think I'm a two-faced guy? As for those spies, it's not my fault. It's your fault for being so vigilant."
His eyes were bloodshot behind his monocle. "I know nothing about you. This is wrong. We are allies, yet you don't trust me. I've worked so hard to get your intelligence."
"Don't look at me like that, Yun Shuo. This is good for both you and me." The worse Yun Shuo's expression became, the more excited Sai Taishi became. "Look, if it weren't for me, how could you have gotten this order so quickly? Leaving the factory empty, even for just one day, is a huge waste of money."
Yun Shuo had a cold face and said nothing, but just forcefully moved away Saitai's hand. He could clearly feel how insignificant the other party's resistance was, so much so that it could not be called resistance at all.
Setash's arm was twisted apart alive, as if the bones were broken. His face turned pale, but he was more certain that he had finished beating the opponent, and it was time to give the other party a taste of sweetness.
"Are you done? Setash, you don't think that by inserting a few spies, or inciting a few idiots with weak beliefs, you can control the entire ELO organization and make them weapons in your hands to strike wherever you want, right?"
Even Yun Shuo, as the commander, couldn't do this. Now these ELO people follow him because his path happens to be similar to theirs. Once there is a deviation, the ELO organization will quickly fall apart.
So Yun Shuo never thought of himself as the leader of the ELO organization. He just accidentally took a step forward at that perfect timing and was pushed to this position by everyone.
Saitaishi hid his trembling arms behind his back and said with a pale face, "Yun Shuo, you really should change your bad temper that makes you hit people at the slightest provocation. I've only met you a few times, and you've almost broken my arms. You must remember what you said, that you want 'equality'."
"'Equality' comes at a price. As you know, I'm a noble, the same class as Ella and the others. Now it seems that I too am one of those 'pursuing equality'. I also want to be the city lord, and I think anyone can be the city lord, so why can't I?"
