Before the publicity meeting started, Lina found Victor worriedly on behalf of her classmates:

"Professor Victor, it seems we made a big mistake."

"What happened?" Victor asked, "Did one of us have a conflict with the workers?"

"No. The workers are very cooperative and respect us. But the problem is that they respect us too much now——"

"Because..." Lina's face was full of regret: "In order to encourage the apprentices to actively communicate and attract them to actively participate in our publicity meetings, we got excited..."

"Tell them in advance, Professor Victor, that you and my brother have decided to improve the salary for apprentices."

"Is there... something wrong with this?" Victor didn't realize the problem at first.

Both he and Levi felt that the lives of Zaun apprentices were too hard, so they planned to improve the apprentices' pay after taking over the factory, and immediately achieve equal pay for equal work between Zaun and Piltover people.

This matter will be announced sooner or later. Is there any problem in announcing it a few days earlier?

"Yes, and the problem is huge. The main reason is... our propaganda work has not yet achieved results, and the workers have not yet awakened to the most basic class consciousness."

"At this time, if we raise their wages, improve their benefits, and save them from suffering, they will inevitably..."

"Considering us as saviors."

As she said that, Lina happened to see something.

She pursed her lips in that direction, and Victor looked there:

Mr. Erwin was seen wearing a suit, a top hat, and a civilized staff. As soon as he took Seraphine's arm and walked into the factory, he was enthusiastically stopped by the apprentices in shabby clothes.

The apprentices gathered around Erwin and his daughter and asked excitedly:

"Mr. Erwin! I heard that we can get the same salary as the Piltover people in the future. Is this true?"

After getting a positive answer from Boss Erwin and confirming again and again that this was not an illusion or a joke...

The apprentices were so moved that they cried.

I cried for real, not fake at all.

"Mr. Erwin, you, you are such a good person...Thank you! Thank you!" Someone thanked with tears.

"Bless Janna, I wish you and your family a lifetime of happiness and peace!" someone prayed devoutly.

"Mr. Erwin... No, Mr. Erwin!" Some even recognized the owner on the spot: "We are all rough people, we don't know what to say... In short, everyone will have this miserable life in the future.

, I’ll sell them all to you!”

"We eat Lord Erwin's food and become Lord Erwin's soldiers!"

As a business owner, Erwin has now become the bread and butter in the eyes of the apprentices... No, they are biological parents who are not related by blood... Even the biological parents are not even close to Erwin.

After all, most Zaun people have no chance to enjoy the upbringing of their parents.

And Erwin, who is neither a relative nor an acquaintance, not only "feeds" them, but also takes them to live a good life together.

The treatment is equivalent to that of workers in Piltover... This is something they never dreamed of before!

"Ahem, everyone has misunderstood!" Erwin was very self-aware.

He was unwilling and did not dare to be greedy for this credit, so he immediately clarified with a clear attitude: "It is not my intention to improve everyone's treatment, but the will of Goddess Janna——"

"It's Professor Victor here, these classmates who are the leaders, who have won the benefits for everyone!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Victor and the students from the Leader.

Looking at these eyes full of gratitude and satisfaction, Victor's scalp felt numb.

He was really afraid that the next second, everyone would kneel down to him.

"Oops." Victor finally understood what the problem was.

Levi said that no matter how leaders educate the masses, it is not as profound as the "direct education" of the bourgeoisie to the masses. The role of truly awakening the masses can only be played by the enemy himself.

But now, before they could clearly explain the truth to the apprentices, before letting everyone know what kind of organization the Leader is, and before everyone knew what they should do, they hurriedly delivered the life they dreamed of.

In the eyes of those apprentices, Victor is their savior.

In their view, Victor is just a business owner.

So before they could recognize the true face of the business owner and realize the "direct education" from the business owner, they first received the "welfare gift package from the business owner."

"Not only that, because they don't understand the theory of labor creating value and surplus value, these workers generally don't understand who supports whom between them and the business owners."

"Mr. Erwin used to take some care of apprentices, and many of them felt that it was the business owners who supported them and gave them the opportunity to have enough to eat."

"And now that we have significantly improved the treatment of apprentices, more people feel:"

"If you give less money, it's exploitation; if you give more money, it's not exploitation."

"Giving as much as we do is an even greater kindness."

Zaun is a city ruled by the Alchemist Baron. The people of Zaun are more or less influenced by gang culture and like to talk about loyalty and loyalty.

They will sacrifice their lives for anyone who can feed them and live a good life.

As for whether this meal was a gift from the Alchemist Baron or whether they earned it with their own lives... they never considered it.

Because in Zu'an, you may not be able to earn a living if you have a life.

But a bite of the Alchemist Baron could always save their lives.

As a result, the ignorant and backward ideas were combined with Zuan's cultural traditions, and the result became:

"Not only did they not wake up, they started to be grateful to us as 'good business owners'... and even willingly regarded us as their masters." Lina sighed helplessly:

"Just like those Piltover workers, bought off by the benefits of high profits."

How is this promoting Janna’s thoughts?

It is simply a reverse operation, helping the business owners of Pi City to promote themselves.

"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with our strategy..." Victor fell into deep thought.

Because this is a world where extraordinary power exists, and personal power is greater than anything else. Therefore, Li Wei's strategy from the beginning was to mobilize the masses, but not to mobilize the masses to fight.

This can avoid meaningless bloodshed. But now it seems...the easy victory without struggle will inevitably give everyone a "savior feeling."

They only know that they have been saved and should thank the savior.

As this idea spreads, in the future some people may start to look forward to the coming of the savior, or even rely on the existence of the savior. When encountering difficulties, they will lie down and do nothing, just waiting for the goddess with great supernatural powers to save them.

"We must find ways to avoid this situation in the future."

"In the future, we must first complete the education of Janna's thoughts among the workers, let them realize that the power of Janna is the power of all people, and it comes from their strength, and then we can help them... no, lead them to fight for their rights."

"At least we have to let everyone understand that this victory was earned by themselves!"

Victor summed up experience in practice and planned future publicity strategies.

The immature team of Leaders is also gradually maturing.

But these are all things for later.

The problem they face now is that after this wave of reverse operations, the lives of the apprentices have improved. And once people's lives improve, they naturally don't want to change the status quo.

Unknowingly, the leader's publicity work has become more difficult.
