He was young and inexperienced, and in the first stage he almost forced the template given by his father onto the orphanage.
Governing a mature territory and managing an orphanage that is in need of reconstruction are two completely different things.
Yu Tong pulled the system over and helped Brother Xiaochen revise the plan.
The deviation value increases to 50 points, and Chen Xi's personality has become very different from the original text. He is no longer as cold and ruthless as when the two first met.
He felt that the children in the orphanage were very pitiful and wanted to change the current situation so that everyone could live a stable life.
Yu Tong was the first to reject his idea.
All the children who have survived to this day are experienced people.
Although Lily and Applesauce look silly, they are actually quite smart.
Lily and Teddy Bear realized early on that if they wanted to survive in the orphanage, they had to find an ally.
They didn't look for other children with gods, but chose Chen Xi to cooperate with them.
It was simply because he had just obtained the divine power and didn't know much about it. The chick was still a youngster and wouldn't be particularly strong.
If Chen Xi had shown himself to be a bit stronger and made them feel dangerous, the seemingly chubby teddy bear would have eliminated this powerful competitor before he grew up.
Chen Xi knew this clearly, and after killing Little Mushroom, he cried in front of the teddy bear.
The little bear warrior mistakenly thought that he was a kind-hearted and silly child, and thought that even if a fight really broke out in the future, this little saint would not have the heart to attack Lily.
So when they escape at night, it will take the initiative to run back to help the little yellow chickens trapped in the orphanage.
Timid and crybaby Applesauce's mind was also ticking.
She knew she was being marginalized and needed someone to face Yekos with her.
At that time, the children at the scene were divided into two small groups, one belonging to Yekos and the other to the Brave Alliance.
Yekos targeted her, and the Brave Alliance ate children during the last food shortage period.
A new food shortage period is about to begin. When the Brave Alliance has eaten up all its food reserves, the old members will attack the weak children and the new members.
Yu Tong wasn't sure whether it was Applesauce herself who came up with the idea of forming an alliance with the similarly ostracized Chenxi Lily, or whether it was the Fairy Godmother who gave her the idea behind the scenes.
When facing the priest last night, she was able to quickly recognize the situation and decisively stood on Chen Xi's side.
This is enough to show that every seemingly rash decision she made was actually carefully considered.
The only truly heartless person in this room is probably the system.
Yu Tong modified the plan step by step, asking Chen Xi not to improve the children's lives immediately, but to continue to maintain the original model of the orphanage.
The news of the priest's death was not disclosed for the time being, and the children in the orphanage were forcibly controlled through deception and violent suppression.
The system peered in and couldn't help but hiss, "Xiao Yu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to treat children like this?"
Yu Tong explained as he made the changes, "The children here aren't as innocent as you think. Every one of them who survived until now is cunning and ruthless. Don't be fooled by Lily's usual cuteness and angelic demeanor. She wouldn't even blink when she was hacking other children to pieces."
"If they found out that the priest was dead and the orphanage was taken over by a child of the same age, the troublemakers among the children would definitely not listen to Chen Xi's management. Even if Chen Xi appeared kind and gentle, they would think he was weak and could be bullied."
Yu Tong poked the system's head with the tip of his pen. "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Chen Xi must be tough and ruthless. He must make those children understand that the consequences of rebelling against him and against the priest are the same. Only then will they behave themselves."
"I'm not planning on letting Chen Xi show up for now. I just checked, and I have all the props for the beauty you want. The duration of effect has been extended to 1 hour, and the cooldown time has been shortened to 1 hour, which is enough for me to show my presence every day."
Looking at the words written by Yu Tong in the notebook, the system belatedly glared at him. [You want to use props to pretend to be Chen Xi's father, and rely on the cooperation of the nuns to become the new priest of the orphanage?]
"Yes, by then Chen Xi will be a relative of the new priest. He will have a higher status among the children and his words will have more authority."
[But isn’t his father already dead…]
"The children don't know about this. We killed all the nobles who killed their father. The residents of the town don't know much about the nobles either. They only know that a white-haired noble named Chen was killed."
"The news didn't spread, but now that I say he's alive, he's alive."
The system read the revised plan from beginning to end and smacked its lips in admiration.
[Xiao Yu, did you particularly like eating cold-mixed chicken hearts when you were a child?]
"My dear mynah bird, my family is so poor that we can only eat insects. How can we get such good food?"
[I'm not praising you for being so cunning and unromantic. I hate that you're like a piece of wood.]
————
The system seemed to be preoccupied with something, and crossed its arms, no longer chatting.
Yu Tong's soul emerged from the space, ready to dictate the plan to Chen Xi and ask him to make changes accordingly.
The little villain popped his head out from behind the bed curtains and watched the two girls fight.
Lily gets angry and pulls Applesauce's braids, telling her not to hit her mommy.
Applesauce stuck his neck out and said Lily wanted to play house. She was seriously impersonating her own dad and the dads of the neighboring kids on both sides.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong, and besides, she didn't use much force when she hit the teddy bear just now.
Yu Tong watched for a while, and suddenly a boy's childish voice sounded in his ears.
"Sun God, I still prefer the territory governed by my parents. Nothing like this ever happened there."
Yu Tong poured a basin of cold water on him, "It's hard to say what the situation is over there right now."
Chen Xi pursed his lips, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"My mother never called herself the Lord's Lady, nor did she allow anyone else to call her that. She felt that she was a Lord, just like my father, on equal terms."
