Chapter 25: You Must Give Up to Gain
[No, the maximum reward is two cabins.]
The main brain spoke in a serious mechanical voice and bargained in a meticulous manner.
Yun Qimu immediately dropped his all-too-goodbye smile and put on a shrewd businessman's face. He said dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter, little brother? You get what you give. You should understand this principle best. How can I dare to rack my brains to give you such a good idea if you are so stingy? This is related to our great cause of building a beautiful global village. You can't be so stingy."
"Besides, when you issued the mandatory mission earlier, you only mentioned punishments, not rewards. This kind of unilateral dictatorship and torture won't last long. King Zhou's torture was too harsh, causing widespread resentment among the people. Competent officials died, became disabled, and some even defected to the enemy camp. What happened in the end?"
"He lost his country."
"He was replaced by a benevolent ruler who established a new dynasty."
"So this story tells us to be kind and benevolent, to understand that there are rewards and punishments, and that there is gain only when there is sacrifice. After hearing this historical fact, do you think you should learn from this negative example?"
Mastermind: [Yes, we should learn from this.]
A glimmer of light shone through Yunqimu's dark eyes. His fingers tapped lightly on the axe handle in his hand, and a smile spread slightly on his lips.
"So, do you think a pharmacy workshop and two cabins are too much of a reward? This is all to increase public enthusiasm and happiness, and is essential for building a beautiful global village. You should know that your temporary efforts will be rewarded with greater rewards from the residents of the global village in the future."
[I think it's still too much.]
The main brain was stunned by the high moral principles and compliments, but at the last moment, because of its unwavering stingy nature, it woke up in time and immediately objected loudly and seriously.
My goodness, the host is not only shameless but also very good at deceiving people. It almost fell into the trap.
It wiped the non-existent sweat off its face, feeling a little relieved.
Yun Qimu pursed his pale lips with regret in his heart, it was just a little bit off.
However, after fierce bargaining between the two sides, Yun Qimu finally got a pharmacy workshop and a small wooden house from the main brain as a double reward for the mandatory mission and the "labor reform" system she proposed.
The main brain, which had been tricked again, was so heartbroken that it couldn't breathe and could only sharpen its knife to attack the 18 new residents.
So, Haru, who was working like a slave, Zack, who had regained his consciousness, and the cunning and annoyed Thin Man and other pirates were full of curiosity, surprise and yearning for the game called "Building a Global Village" one moment, but they heard the bad news the next moment.
[Ding Dong—Because we've detected that new Global Village residents Haru, Zach, and Houqi have maliciously attacked Global Village and committed countless crimes, this game has urgently developed a relevant punishment system.]
[Ding Dong—Attention all residents of the global village, attention all residents of the global village, from now on, the global village will issue a punishment system.]
There are two punishment systems based on the severity of the crime. One is the labor reform system. For example, petty theft, fraud, and robbery are punished with labor reform based on the severity of the crime. Minor crimes are punished with shorter labor reform periods, while serious crimes are punished with longer labor reform periods. The duration of the punishment is determined by the system.
Second: Slavery, such as murder, rioting and splitting the global village, will deprive the player of their freedom, put on a power-restricting ring, and become a slave of the global village. Ownership of the slaves belongs to the game, but there is no restriction on the global village villagers hiring them.
Finally, please note that the game reserves the final right of interpretation for the penalty system, and objections are invalid. We also ask all residents of the Global Village to uphold the virtues of self-improvement, hard work, fighting monsters diligently, and getting rich quickly, and be good residents of the Global Village.]
[Ding Dong—Another announcement! Attention all residents of the global village! Attention all residents of the global village!]
After three village-wide broadcasts, Haru and the others were caught off guard when a flash of light appeared around their necks. All of them were given black energy-restricting rings, turning from formal residents into slaves deprived of their freedom.
Yun Qimu, Yun Xiaodi, and the Tang family father and son took a few glances at their black collars, looking quite amused.
Seeing that the bleeding on the pirate leader Zach's shoulder had stopped, and he was still grimacing as he tore at the forbidden ring, Yun Qimu raised an eyebrow and laughed. Then, exercising the privilege of village chief that he had just obtained from the main brain, he issued an order, "Since the slaves are free now, go dig up some garbage and bring back some more wood or other useful items."
Zach froze, looking at her in disbelief. Veins popped on his forehead as he roared, "Are you kidding me? How can I, the dignified Black Skull's boss, dig in a garbage dump? What a damned order."
Yun Qimu raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and looked at him with a smile, "But you are just a slave in our village now. You must obey orders. Now, immediately, go dig the garbage dump."
"No" Zack had just uttered a word when crackling electric light immediately came out from the energy-blocking ring, which shocked his hair and made his body tremble like he was having epilepsy.
The pirates around and Haru were startled and quickly stepped back, looking at Zack who was about to be electrocuted with horror.
They could still smell the burning from such a distance.
The electric shock lasted for a minute. When it stopped, Zack fell to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and his limbs were still trembling and twitching.
Yun Qimu glanced at him nonchalantly, then raised his eyes to look at the group of space pirates, his eyes still smiling, "Are you still digging now?"
"Planing, planing."
Several people trembled all over, without any moral integrity or backbone, and nodded hurriedly, fearing that they would be hit like this if they were too late.
"Then hurry up and go."
Several people immediately stepped on their feet to form a whirlwind, and they also carried away Zack, who was lying dead on the ground.
"Wow, sister is amazing."
"How is slave employment employed?"
The kids and the Tang family's father and son all came over curiously.
Yun Qimu smiled and replied, "One spirit coin per slave per day."
Old Man Tang immediately shut up and threw aside the idea of hiring someone to serve him. Tut, he was just a poor old man and couldn't afford slaves.
Yun Qimu saw his embarrassment and kindly offered him some advice, "Uncle Tang, if you want to save money to buy potions, you can go kill berserker beasts. Corpses from the outside world, whether human or beast, can be traded with the system and exchanged for spirit coins.
Of course, you can also fight monsters, like the Danghu Chickens you have seen before. These are small monsters produced with the game. As long as you see them, you can distinguish them from the Berserkers.
Fighting them will drop treasure chests, but whether or not you get spirit coins or other potions depends entirely on your luck."
After receiving the guidance, Tang Dad and Tang En's eyes lit up and they were extremely grateful.
Yun Qimu smiled and said you're welcome, after all, the sheep have to be fattened before they can be plucked smoothly.
