I'm bad, but players love me

Ella sat alone in a high-backed red velvet chair, her hair all tied up, her eyes full of the courage and resoluteness of a city lord. She supported her head with one hand, her eyes half closed, as if she was extremely bored with this.

On the chessboard in front of her, her chess piece had already penetrated deep into the opponent's territory. The chess piece representing Yun Shuo was broken, and the crown on its head fell to the side. The head part was shattered and scattered on the chessboard, and the chess piece that was already standing there was also full of cracks.

Although Setash's chess piece looked relatively intact, the cracks all over it indicated that it was only one step away from complete collapse.

The picture zoomed in, and there was still darkness behind Ella, but the moment she opened her eyes completely, a lighthouse appeared from behind her, standing as the only light in this bottomless darkness.

“Humans are phototropic animals. Those little sparks will always lead them astray, but when the lighthouse is lit at night, the sparks will be extinguished by the true light.”

"Glory will also submit to me!"

But the dog didn't think it was serious. What was there to make a fuss about?

Isn't it just mocking our ELO organization as a bunch of embers? Let me tell you, if you mess with our ELO fans, you'll be messing with cotton.

After all, we might have assassinated Ella's father. We agreed to a fair fight. They even ordered weapons specifically for you. They respected you enough, but you came out and showed them what "petty behavior" is.

He was killed secretly by someone's father. Who wouldn't feel guilty after hearing about this? People in the ELO camp now have to be more humble when meeting anyone.

So Gouzi chose to talk about his judgment on the entire PV first and then look at the next one. "Summarizing" is his forte.

"First of all, let me be frank. Ella will definitely win. But her two opponents, Yun Shuo and Setaishi, may not both die."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this PV seems to have a lot to say. It actually only has a few points. First, my family has been in charge of Kori City for a long time. Second, before ELO showed up, Kori City was always peaceful, so it's obviously ELO's fault. Third, Ella tried to win over Yun Shuo, but he stabbed her in the back. Fourth, the nobleman Setash was also involved in the rebellion."

"Based on what Setaishi said, there's not much to judge. At least in terms of the nobles, he wasn't involved that much. For example, if Yun Shuo is the main culprit, then he's at most an accomplice."

"With all this information, the first thing that's easy to judge is Yun Shuo's ending—he's basically dead. And considering he's even lost his crown, one possibility is that his ELO is gone, and the other simply means he's no longer the leader of ELO."

"It has nothing to do with me being on the ELO side. This is just my personal opinion. It should be the latter, because the crown is actually intact, just lying on one side, which also means 'power has fallen to the side.'"

"As for Saitaishi, it seems he's only seriously injured, but not dead. His entire chess piece is intact. I guess it's just a punishment of being demoted from a noble to a commoner."

Chapter 67, ELO Camp PV

[This anchor is really analyzing it here. ]

Is this your dry analysis that we want? Hasn't someone already done that in the comments section? We want your attitude!

[Don't you think Dichou is deliberately stirring up trouble and hyping up the issue? He's quite good at playing both sides of the same thing.]

[Hurry up and break through the defense. ]

Gouzi chuckled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, everyone's going to be disappointed. I haven't even broken through the Noble camp yet, so I don't know how I'm going to break through the ELO camp. The most I can do is not know how to win."

[Indeed, most of those whose defenses have been breached so far are from the noble camp, right? Their hearts are too fragile.]

[You're the only one with a mouth? You're the only one who can talk? Don't you even look at the people in ELO?]

I used to think Dichou didn't care about ELO, but it turns out it's because the streamer is too bad and can't break into ELO.

"What's going on? Is there a task in ELO that I haven't triggered? I can already be arm in arm with Yun Shuo, right?" Gou Zi immediately retorted.

After all, he is a veteran of the ELO organization. He has worked hard for so long and stayed up late to come up with infrastructure strategies. Many newcomers were brought in by him.

You were working on infrastructure, so you had a lot to do. But you couldn't blame your good luck, so you applied for a job as a waitress at a coffee shop just to slack off. That's what you call a riot. Both plots are tit-for-tat, and the second one is straight-up murderous, with blood-soaked excitement.

[What do you mean by laziness is the ladder of human progress? If they do this, their status isn't higher than your pallu?]

[Stop talking, I feel like my dog ​​is about to break.]

[Speaking of which, the host guessed a little wrong. Saitaishi is not an accomplice. He seems much more extreme than Yunshuo.]

[Extreme? He meant his subordinate was crippled by Yun Shuo's gunshot, and he wanted to give him a quick death. He almost got one for free, but Yun Shuo broke him. His hand, hidden at his side, couldn't stop shaking.]

[Please save Satesh, he's almost broken.]

【The host should just watch the PV. 】

[That's right, there's also a scene in the PV where Yun Shuo and Setaishi negotiate.]

Actually, as someone from the ELO faction, I was quite upset watching our faction's PV. Doesn't anyone else find Yun Shuo's inevitable death hard to swallow? It feels like no matter how hard you fight, you can't change your fate.

[Is the guy in front okay? If you have a mental illness, I suggest you go to the hospital. If you come online, we will only suggest you quickly quit Earth Online.]

[That's right, you didn't even check it yourself before posting it. A villain who is dedicated to disgusting people is worthy of sympathy? ]

[But if it's an ELO storyline, the situation is completely different. Can you please look at it separately and not just curse? ]

[No, ELO, what makes you think that your generation's hard work can match the efforts of Ella and her ancestors?]

[That is, if it weren't for your ELO, would Ella have issued those regulations to sanction you?]

A few people were happily cursing each other when they were suddenly muted. Before they could react, they were kicked out of the live broadcast room again.

"Let me make this clear first. I'm not overwhelmed because I'm emotionally stable. However, I hope everyone can remember one thing: I'm Yun Shuo's dog, okay? This is the tone I set when I started the show."

Gouzi suddenly said in a stern tone, "Regardless of whether Yun Shuo wins or loses, the hosts in this broadcast room will always be from the ELO camp. As the saying goes, 'When beating a dog, look at its owner.' I advise everyone to be more friendly."

He said solemnly, "It's a free game anyway. If things really don't work out, I'll lead the remaining ELO troops into guerrilla warfare. It's time for the genes of our ancestors to awaken!"

Seeing that the comments were sparse and the entire live broadcast room had calmed down, Gouzi continued to click on [《Faith Crisis》[Single ELO Camp] Welcome to join ELO - Commander Yun Shuo. ]

It starts with the shape of Yun Shuo's eyes, and as the camera zooms in, the scene in his eyes comes into view.

"This is the civilian area. We've been deceived by the name all along. Later I realized that there is no clear distinction between civilians and the poor here. In the eyes of those nobles, we are all the same."

Unlike the peaceful and prosperous world described by Ella, the civilian area in Yun Shuo's eyes was more like a patient who was struggling to survive, occasionally relying on a bowl of rice soup begged for on his knees to prolong his life.

The civilian area is not quiet, on the contrary it is full of quarrels and insults. Even in the deserted alleys, there are the sounds of young women's flirting, but it is undoubtedly dead.

The beggar sleeping at the door of the store was kicked away by the owner. He howled in pain, moved away and continued to sleep.

The raggedly dressed hooligans, with knives hidden on their bodies, would occasionally sneak into the alleys and come out a few moments later with their pockets bulging.

The thief keeps his eyes on every guy who passes by with a wallet, waiting for an opportunity to approach, steal and run away.

This chaotic scene turned into a page, which was quickly turned by an invisible hand, and the scene changed into a parade.

This rather large-scale parade quickly disbanded after the gunshots. The young Yun Shuo stood blankly in the middle of the fleeing crowd, with more than a dozen black gun muzzles in front of him.

"They don't answer our questions, not because our voices are too quiet, but because they don't care."

The screen darkened and then lit up again, and the ELO organization was established. Yun Shuo stood in the center of the crowd again, and this time, everyone surrounded him calmly and full of hope.

"There were so many things I hadn't anticipated. I lit a fire, but I couldn't see what was on the other side. This fire started from my heart and spread until every inch of my body was burned up, and it refused to stop."

Yun Shuo, who had obviously grown up, picked up the gun he made with a smile on his face, and the next second, he saw the corpses of his companions.

A raging fire burned away the scene. As the voiceover sounded, a flame illuminated Yun Shuo's face, which was immersed in darkness. He used this flame to light the alcohol lamp on the table.

"I started the fire, but I can't control it. So I might as well burn everything to ashes!"

As the background music became increasingly urgent, photos were thrown onto the table: Yun Shuo sitting in a chair and looking at Ella sarcastically, Yun Shuo and Setash negotiating tit-for-tat, weapons densely packed in the warehouse, and finally a document with the title "Ella declares war on ELO", with Yun Shuo's signature below.

The scene shifted to the battlefield. In the darkness, Yun Shuo pointed his finger, and thousands of ELO members fought for their commander and for the freedom that the commander had promised them.

But the strength between the two sides was so different that as time went by, Ella finally came to Yun Shuo.

She stood before the bloodstained Yun Shuo, who had collapsed helplessly, with the air of a victor, and whispered, "Even now, have you still not learned to repent?"

Yun Shuo's eyes were fixed on the sun rising slowly behind Ella. Even though most of the sunlight was blocked by Ella, the little light that leaked out was enough to bring tears to his eyes.

He whispered, "The sun is rising."

Chapter 68: Easy Rescue

"I don't know what to say for a moment." Gouzi rested his elbows on the table, rubbing his palms together, feeling a mixture of emotions. "I suddenly think that Dichou must be very serious about ELO, because it's obvious that they put a lot of thought into this ELO PV."

"Compared to Ella's focus on power and glory, Dichou's portrayal of ELO is primarily about Yun Shuo's growth. After all, Ella is only the new city lord, while Yun Shuo is the veteran commander who founded ELO."

"The points where the nobles' defenses were broken are actually pretty easy to understand. Let's not talk about who won or lost in the end. First of all, the civilian area is clearly different from what Ella described. According to her, everyone lives in harmony, but from Yun Shuo's perspective, thieves, gangsters, and street beggars definitely exist."

"Although the official PVs for the two factions have been separated and specifically marked, almost asking everyone to treat them as two different worldviews, but since it is still within the same game, most people still can't immediately distinguish between the two factions."

"So, in their eyes, Ella's righteousness declined. She was no longer the hero who led her army to suppress all the villains who attempted to divide the city of Cori. Instead, she was the young lady who wanted to eat meat, indulging in the false prosperity given to her by her parents. Those she suppressed were the ones who truly supported the people."

"This way, the roles of good guys and bad guys are reversed. How can the people in the noble camp feel balanced? Everyone originally agreed that Yun Shuo was just a terrorist, but then your government changed its stance and he became a hero of the resistance."

Doesn't this mean the authorities are messing around?

You made your own choice, freedom. This is the consequence of freedom. From different perspectives, you'll naturally have different opinions.

[To put it bluntly, there are just too many diodes. Isn't it enough to just believe that whichever side you belong to is the good side?]

[What are you all talking about here, justice or injustice? If you keep doing this, all those people from Paradox should be taken out and shot. Not a single one of them has achieved anything less than a Class A war criminal.]

[What kind of talk is this? We are the victors! Only those who lose the war are called war criminals!]

[Right, so if Ella wins, they are the righteous ones. That's easy to understand, right?]

[That's right, I don't know what those people are arguing about. They're not happy with even a little more freedom.]

"Ahem, we've gone off topic. Let's get back to the topic." Gou Zi quickly changed the subject.

"Although Yun Shuo's birthplace isn't explicitly mentioned, I personally feel it's now certain that Yun Shuo was born in a civilian area. Furthermore, a leader should have emerged during that time. To a large extent, this person could be considered Yun Shuo's first mentor."

"Before Yun Shuo grew up, this mentor once led the people of the civilian area in a grand parade. Although the scene changed quickly, if we look closely at the details, we can still find words on it that probably said something like 'Reduce Taxes' and 'Fight for Freedom'."

"From this, we can see that excessive taxation actually started a long time ago. At least when Yun Shuo was young, the common people's disgust with these exorbitant taxes had reached a level that could be mobilized."

"Please don't think that the demonstration of so many people is a simple matter. It shows that most people hold the same opinion on it, and are even oppressed to the point of having to protest."

"That doesn't make sense. When I was playing before, because of my closeness with Dim, he told me that he used to be able to eat his fill even if he begged for food."

"I can answer that. If this person was under twelve years old, they could have begged for food. After all, there wasn't the rationing system that left everyone with no food left. Plus, Dim has a high EQ, low self-esteem, and plenty of buffs, so begging for food wouldn't be a problem for him. The reason he can't get food is simply because he's too old."

[You are willing to feed a child who has nothing to eat, but would you be willing to feed an adult who has hands and feet but is lazy, so lazy that he does nothing but begs for food?]

【I'll give him a fist! 】

"It's not a big deal that he'll get punched. Don't push him." The dog was very happy.

He then continued, "Of course, it seems like the march ended quickly at gunpoint. Generally speaking, the person at the front or in the middle of the march is the leader of the march."

"Judging from how quickly they disbanded, it's basically a murder. After all, it's hard to get people to run so fast just by firing a gun. Most people would freeze in place, then continue forward after the leader yells a few times."

"Although I don't have much experience with parades, based on the hints in these shots, I can basically confirm that the mentor died. This parade has since become an important part of Yun Shuo's growth."

"This made him realize that just talking was useless, so after Yun Shuo founded the ELO organization, this guy started making guns."

"The 'fire' in the voice probably doesn't just mean 'equality for all'; it also implies that the gun is firing. So soon, those radical companions died together with Yun Shuo's newly made gun."

[Yun Shuo was completely stunned. Just like that? ]

I'm not afraid of godlike opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. I finally understand why a commander-in-chief would go out and assassinate someone himself.

[Maybe I'm just worried that my teammates might die inexplicably.]

"Not only that," Gouzi added, "I think these dead guys might have accidentally killed civilians. Otherwise, how could there be rumors that ELO is not a good thing?"

"However, based on the preceding context, the most likely source of this rumor is those hooligans in the residential areas. They probably thought ELO was some big gang, so they used its name to scam people and bully men and women."

"Then, what follows is basically the events we can experience. I don't know if you still remember the previous Willis PV. Combining the two videos will show you more content."

"The situation in the slums is dire, needless to say. But many of my previous guesses may have to be overturned. First, the older man is definitely Yun Shuo. And the image of the boots stepping on Yun Shuo's wanted poster probably has two meanings: first, Yun Shuo is definitely not a wanted criminal, and second, Willis will eventually succeed Yun Shuo as the leader of ELO."

"Then the phrase 'I am you' is easy to understand. No matter which PV we look at, Yun Shuo's situation isn't looking good, so Willis might be taking over the duties of commander-in-chief. And Willis is definitely not a traitor."

[Not only is he not a traitor, I even suspect he and Yun Shuo have some kind of dirty relationship.]

If you join ELO from Yunshuo and linger at the door for a while, there's a chance you'll encounter Willis. I saw Willis's eyes turn slightly red and tears threatened to fall.

[Ahhh, I'm jealous, absolutely jealous! ]

Are the two of you in front of me okay? You're truly a pair of equally ill friends. If you'd just read the coffee shop scene, you'd know they'd just been humiliated by a idiotic noblewoman, and now seeing someone as lavishly dressed as the player enter and exit Yun Shuo's house, it's bound to make them feel incredibly sad.

[Speaking of this, I feel rather embarrassed. It feels as if Yun Shuo and I accidentally did something shameful.]

"I don't care about that. I just want to know if I can still win if I join the ELO team. He can let me spend money, he can let me get beaten, but Dichou can't let me spend money and get beaten, right?"

"To be honest, I feel like my chances are slim, and regardless of whether I win or not, I always have a bad feeling. But if I analyze it rationally, I think I can win."
