Before actually coming into contact with the Wind Leader, Erwin was still in awe of the Wind Leader organization and full of expectations.

Through Seraphine's ability, he saw their souls full of light and heat.

A person with such a beautiful soul cannot be an ordinary person.

But when Erwin followed his daughter to the factory and arrived at the promotional meeting organized by the Leader, he discovered:

"This is a bunch of...young people."

Young people are always full of enthusiasm and always want to shine on the front line.

But they are inexperienced and naive, and it is difficult to get things done when they get to the front line.

"No wonder Nini likes to be with them so much." Erwin secretly glanced at his baby daughter beside him who was mesmerized and immersed in the beautiful soul melody.

In his opinion, when it comes to the word "innocence", those leaders are not much better than Seraphine.

This is not because he is deliberately hurting others——

The leader's performance at this first publicity conference was truly unsightly.

The promotional meeting started with an introduction to the history of Zaun.

In Livy's words, this is called helping the audience establish the concept of historical materialism.

In order to allow the apprentices to better adapt and understand, Victor deliberately removed all the specific theoretical parts of the article "Where Did Zaun Come From".

No theory or class, just popular science and history.

But even so...

"This is boring enough." Erwin commented in his mind.

Compared with his friend Jess, although Victor is introverted and not good at speaking, he is not a socially awkward person who is poor at speaking.

It’s not that his explanation is boring, nor is the history itself boring.

It's history. To most Zaun people... it's naturally boring.

The Zaun people don't even care about who their own parents are, so how can they care about what happened hundreds of years ago?

If we just wanted to expose Piltover's dark history to them and let them know about Piltover's oppression of Zaun... then it would be even more unnecessary.

The people of Zaun know the evil of Piltover better than anyone else.

They don't need anyone to teach them, they will naturally spit out the fragrance when they see the Pitcheng guy.

really...

"Someone is about to fall asleep." Erwin noticed that among the apprentices in the audience, some were already yawning out of boredom.

They were attracted entirely by the increased salary and benefits, and out of gratitude to the leaders, they tried their best to pretend to listen carefully.

Victor seemed to have noticed this too.

He took the time to popularize history and then entered the next step:

"Complaining?" Erwin thought thoughtfully.

Is this a way for everyone to get together to drink, chat, and scold Picheng guys together?

The Zaun people have been doing this for more than two hundred years.

This is indeed a good way to enhance cohesion. Although simple, it is practical.

But...

"Is there anyone willing to come up and share his experience?"

"Tell everyone what you experienced in Zaun and Piltover."

Victor asked this question on the stage, but almost no one responded.

The air was as dead as a college teacher answering questions by name.

"This..." There was a silence for a while.

Only then did Victor realize that the atmosphere at the meeting was not at all exciting.

The apprentices are still thinking about the better life after the salary increase. How can they have the heart to stand up and talk about those old things?

And exposing one's scars publicly is something that requires courage.

Some people are embarrassed, some have concerns, and some don't want to recall the painful past...this is all normal.

"We must first create an atmosphere and arouse emotions before we can continue the complaining activity." Victor thought.

So how to create an atmosphere and arouse emotions?

It seems that you can only induce suffering with suffering——

I just want to find someone who can talk and give a paragraph first to give everyone a sample.

"Um, classmate Lina?" Victor invited Lina to the stage.

"Okay!" Lina mustered up her courage and slowly stood in front of everyone.

After brewing her feelings for a while, she began to tell her own experience:

"Like everyone else, I was born in Zaun..."

My grandparents are long gone. My father slipped and fell into the furnace, and his body was burned to ashes. My mother suffered a work-related injury and was bedridden. Because she had no money for treatment and could not bear the pain, they finally forced the two siblings to cut her open with a knife.

neck.

The brother and sister wanted to dig a pit to bury their mother, but their uncle took the body to an alchemy shop and sold it.

Later, Li Wei firmly believed that he would take his sister to escape Zaun, so he worked hard in Zaun's shops, mines and factories at a young age... Later, his uncle wanted to sell the grown-up brother and sister into a brothel. They

He killed his uncle and exchanged his body for money, and finally scraped together enough to pay for his apprenticeship in Piltover.

.......

Are these experiences painful? Bitter.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene finally gradually changed.

To a greater or lesser extent, everyone thinks of the pain they have experienced.

The method of using suffering to inspire memories seems to be working.

But...

"Then I got admitted to the University of Piltover..."

From the moment Lina talked about it, the atmosphere changed again.

"Huh--" The audience breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was as if after a long and desperate voyage, we finally saw a continent on which we could stand in the vast sea.

Everyone's mood suddenly relaxed, and the air became much lighter.

"Look, you still have to learn from others... She persisted in studying and studying under such difficult circumstances, and was admitted to the University of Piltover."

"I gave up too early and didn't persevere, so I could only be an apprentice... Sigh!"

Some apprentice workers sighed with envy and regret.

Although this thinking is quite positive.

Never abandon or give up in the face of adversity, keep working hard, improve yourself, and use your own hands to hold the throat of your destiny... This kind of spirit is indeed worthy of everyone to learn.

but...

"Why did this become a motivational speech?" Victor helplessly raised his forehead.

He clearly wanted Lina to go up and complain and arouse everyone's sympathy for the suffering.

Instead, it turned into a motivational lecture and a clichéd speech to cheer everyone up.

"No, that's not right..."

"This is not Lina's problem."

Victor soon found out even more helplessly that this was a common problem among these Zaun students.

Because each of them has overcome countless difficulties and obstacles, climbed out of the hell in Zaun and entered the University of Piltover with their own hard work and struggle.

Each of them is a struggler, a winner, and a survivor behind the single-plank bridge.

Their experiences do not need to be polished at all, and it is a perfect inspirational essay "In Praise of Suffering".

If such a group of inspirational role models who moved Zuan come out to share their experiences, isn't that just giving an inspirational lecture?

Although these students were all from Zaun, from the moment they were admitted to Piltover University, their status was actually far higher than that of ordinary Zaun people.

It may be difficult for workers to sympathize with these future "great ancestors" if they are allowed to complain.

"Classmate Lina, please come down first..."

Victor thought for a while and decided that he still had to find someone from among the apprentices to complain.

So he randomly selected someone from the audience regardless of whether everyone wanted it or not:
