Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

"As the antimatter army burns Yalilo-VI, the star core of the end brings down a cold wave. Only a free butterfly can jump out of its destined destruction."

"We are not the birds that save the world. No one will be able to surpass us and fly higher than us."

"In the face of the wave of destruction, we are just the last remaining, weak insects."

"Birds have their own way of living, and butterflies naturally have their own way of living—"

"We must break free of the cocoon that traps us and flutter our brilliant wings... As the last fireworks of civilization, even if we explode into the sky, we should still be brilliant!"

As Ron spoke, he suddenly picked up the knife on the table and stabbed it hard into the table, going three feet into the wood.

"Xi'er, we can't be so indecisive."

His words were as cold as the wind on a vast icy plain, causing Xier to shudder:

"They are like the cocoon that traps us, a weight hanging on our wings..."

"Only by getting rid of these encumbrances can we fly higher and farther and escape the end of this planet being completely destroyed!"

But Xier hesitated for a moment: "But...is this really okay?"

"I don't want to be so harsh on the lower class people... I was a homeless person when I was a kid, and I understand why they do what they do."

"In fact, everyone is just like this because they can't live anymore. No one is wrong. There should be a gentler way to deal with it..."

But Ron just shook his head and interrupted Xier:

“There’s nothing wrong with what they did, but does not-so-good mean right?”

"Saving the world is not about treating people to a meal, it requires bloodshed!"

"I know you understand them, and you care about all the people in the lower district... You are very kind, Xi'er."

"But just as [want] can't fly to the sky, [kindness] can't save Belloberg."

“Even a leader has his own way of living.”

"Take up your scythe, Xi'er."

Ron picked up the knife from the table, as if demonstrating to Xier:

"This is the last stand of our entire civilization."

"It's time to get blood on our knives."

Chapter 4 - Bronya is logging in (k)

【Ron's speech had a great impact on you.】

[Just like a butterfly will always break out of its cocoon, a child will always grow up. Under Ron's guidance, you have successfully completed a "transformation." ]

[Out of respect and trust for Ron, you accepted his statement in its entirety.]

[“A weak civilization cannot survive the night. To welcome the dawn, everything can become a bargaining chip…everything.” A faint voice echoes in your heart. ]

[You have a completely new understanding of "saving the world."]

[You have obtained the entry: Cold-blooded Reformer (Gold)]

[Cold-blooded Reformer: The burden of saving the world is too great for the entire civilization to bear. Any unpeaceful noise may lead to destruction. You completely abandon the weakness in your heart and take the first step on the path of a cold-blooded ruler.]

[Next, your stress value will not increase, your government affairs processing speed will increase by 50%, your government order execution will increase by 100%, and the stability of the areas under your jurisdiction will increase by 50%. When your people are dissatisfied with you, their dissatisfaction value will increase by an additional 50%. ]

[Because the entry "Cold-blooded Reformer" fits your destiny, under the guidance of cold-blooded will, you follow the trajectory of [Hunting] Lan and take a solid step on your destiny. ]

The entries on the light screen were shining with golden light, and one could tell its strength just by looking at its literal meaning.

Just this one entry almost doubled Xier's ability and drastically changed her future.

But when Xier looked at this entry, she always felt as if a cold wind was blowing around her, and she felt a little chilly.

Now she couldn't accept the memories in this simulation, and couldn't actually experience Ron's speech in the simulation...

But just by looking at the words and pictures, she could already vaguely feel the heavy responsibility on her shoulders——

This is the weight of [saving the world].

Xier has experienced the conflict between the miners and wanderers in Panyan Town twice in the simulation, and each time her decision only temporarily stopped the conflict.

She always believed that there would be a best of both worlds solution, that there would always be a way to eliminate the barriers between the miners and the wanderers and find the best way to deal with it...

But now it seems that she was totally wrong.

Perhaps there really is a way to deal with this, but it is definitely not something she can find.

Time is the biggest cost. The threat of star core and antimatter army is imminent. If you don't use all your strength, you will end up in disaster.

If thousands of years of civilization could be quantified, how much would it weigh?

Xier didn't know, but in the face of [Destruction], it must be as light as a feather.

As a leader, her previous ideas were too naive.

Although Ron's idea was very cold, Xier had to admit that it was mature enough.

Just like Ron said, leaders have their own way of living... Kindness cannot save the lower class.

Can kindness bring new clothes to the wanderers, food to the miners... and a sky that the children have never seen?

unable.

It is precisely because simple kindness is not enough that she has to give up her innocence.

Not just for herself, but for the whole world.

Grandma... No, Nata once said, "What is more important than the miracle itself is to protect people's expectations for it."

She couldn't let the people who were expecting a miracle of salvation turn their hopes into an illusory bubble. She had to protect this hope.

Even if this means getting her hands stained with blood and becoming a cold-blooded ruler despised by the people.

Xier thought so and clicked on the light screen in front of her.

The reward entry on the light screen faded, and new text emerged:

[After you successfully transformed, you began to make drastic reforms to the lower levels. ]

[You regulated the lifestyles of the wanderers and miners, strictly controlled the supplies received from the upper districts, and began to use a rationing system.]

【Relying on monopoly of materials, you control the market in the lower district. 】

[After you made such reforms, the lower class areas suddenly became full of complaints and resentment, and many people developed great malice towards you. ]

[But you already know that these people are the biggest cancer in the lower class. They are the wealthy businessmen who are still maintaining the living standards of the upper class masters in the lower class where life is so difficult now.]

[They control the lifelines of many miners in the lower areas and have weapons that are no weaker than the underground fire. ]

[Because Swarovski needs to lead the automatic robot defense line to resist the Rift at the front line to prevent the Rift monsters from rushing into the city, you cannot rely on the force of the automatic robot to catch all these wealthy businessmen. ]

[In order to eradicate these tumors, you made a detailed plan under Ron's guidance...]

【Next, all you have to do is wait. 】

The words on the screen faded, and new words appeared:

[Your reforms have had a great impact on the wealthy businessmen. They are plotting to overthrow the leadership of Dihuo and kill you, the young man who dared to touch their interests.]

【Three months later, you suffered your first assassination attempt.】

[The assassin is a black boxer who suffered from extremely severe rift erosion, but because of this, he became as ferocious as a rift monster. ]

[It's a pity that ordinary world-shattering monsters pose no threat to you. You successfully dealt with this assassin.]

【But the assassination came like a violent storm. 】

[After the first assassination attempt, you will be assassinated every day. Sometimes it is a black boxer who has been eroded by the Rift, sometimes it is a miner with a serious illness, and sometimes it is a ragged wanderer... These desperate people will become the first main force to assassinate you. ]

[Each assassination will bring a significant increase in your stress value, but because of the entry "Cold-blooded Reformer", your stress value remains unchanged. ]

The text on the screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

Xier was standing at the entrance of the large mining area. In front of her were a group of miners and wanderers who were participating in the rally and listening to Xier's speech.

She calmly analyzed to everyone what the future of the lower district should be like:

"For the future of the lower district, we should..."

But Xier's words were interrupted by a vicious curse.

"The underground doesn't need a leader like you, go to hell!"

The ragged vagrant rushed out frantically with a sharpened wooden stick and stabbed Xier who was giving a speech about "poverty alleviation rationing".

But Xier seemed to be used to it. She took out the sickle without hesitation and cut off the wanderer's head with one stroke.

Blood splattered, and although Xier dodged it nimbly, some warm blood still splashed onto Xier's cheek, flowing along a smooth curve to the chin and dripping.

"Kill, kill someone! Kill someone!"

The residents of Panyan Town who came to listen to Xi'er's speech immediately dispersed, but after a while, many of them returned.

However, when they came back, they had weapons in their hands and a fierce look on their faces.

Looking at these assassins who were aggressive towards her, Xier calmly wiped the blood off her face.

The wealthy businessmen's methods have become increasingly crude, and now they are openly trying to kill her.

Unfortunately, the time has come.

It's time to use a surprise attack.

The image on the screen faded, and new words appeared:

[You were the victim of a poorly planned siege.]

[On the surface, you have no defense against this, but in fact, this is just a little trick you use to lure the snake out of its hole. ]

[Now, the wealthy merchants in the lower district have sent all their guards out to surround and kill you. ]

[Ron led a team of underground firemen and successfully captured all the wealthy businessmen who participated in your murder.]

[And you faced so many assassins and for the first time, you showed in front of everyone the power you had after taking a step forward in your [Hunting] destiny——]

[You turned into a free butterfly, wrapped in imaginary energy like a purple lightning, flashing in front of everyone.]

【Your plan was successful. 】

[These wealthy businessmen were secretly executed by you, and their assets were turned into resources to promote the advancement of the lower-level areas.]

[There are no more discordant notes in the lower levels. Under your high-pressure rule, the lower levels are rapidly moving forward on the right path.]

[Ron became the general of the Earth Fire, responsible for commanding all armed personnel. ]

[Under his training, the combat effectiveness of the Earth Fire Armed Forces is increasing at an unimaginable speed. ]

[In your spare time, you heard that Bronya Rand has been sitting in the Fire Station since she got your consent to cooperate, and it seems that she has done nothing.]

[You are curious about this, but you don't have the time to find out what Bronya is like. ]

[Under your high-pressure rule, a year has passed quickly. ]

The text on the light screen faded, and Xier saw many quantitative attribute values ​​pop up on it.

These attribute values ​​​​are the quantification of the power of the [Beloberg Lower District], such as stability, development index, combat effectiveness, etc.

A year has passed, and compared to last year, the attribute value has increased many times.

Especially in terms of combat power, because of Roan's leadership, the combat power has surpassed the Silver Mane Iron Guards in the upper area of ​​Beloberg...

Could it be that... the time is ripe now?

Xi'er thought thoughtfully, watching new words pop up on the screen:

You feel the time is ripe.

[You approached Ron, hoping that he could help you contact Bronya Rand to discuss going to the upper district to carry out a military coup.]

[Ron readily agreed to your request, and he also thought that now was a good time.]
