Chapter 201 Zelandia: Infighting!?(1/2)
"Okay, stop arguing. Hasn't the boss already set the rules? Don't do useless work here."
In the Zeelandia Hog Mining Conference Hall, Ige, an old scholar who usually lives in seclusion and engages in magic research, is now facing a group of old friends who seem to have taken energy potions. He also has a face of headache and helplessness.
Who told Li Wei to throw out such a big tip before leaving?
He once heard Levi say: 'Don't let them eat too much. Once these people are full, they will easily think too much.'
How did you say the original words?
‘Feeding warmth and craving for silver? Well, that’s how it should be worded. Although the wording is a bit obscure to pronounce, it contains profound philosophical issues.
Zeelandia has long passed the primary stage where everyone has enough food and clothing. Especially the middle-level and above managers of Hoge Mining. In the past ten years, almost all of them have put on two pounds of fat.
Hogg Mining's treatment is famously generous throughout the Dark Region, and you can always get some small favors from them if you seek connections.
Eagle and Hotz, who is the inspector, also turn a blind eye to this, as long as they don't make principled mistakes and don't violate the bottom line.
According to Li Wei himself, this situation is unavoidable. When the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Maintaining an appropriate space and competition relationship is conducive to the development of the company and territory.
However, despite the bulging wallets, the entire entertainment life in the Underdark is far from keeping up with the pace of productivity development.
Generally speaking, people are still relatively poor spiritually.
For example, Feishe, who had been trying to pick up girls for the past few years but was treated like a saint and a Buddha with no desires or desires, felt extremely empty.
And there are not many people like him in Zeelandia.
In the past, he was forced to flee to Zeelandia because he could not withstand the oppression of the drow. Now, after more than ten years of recuperating his energy, he fantasized that he might be capable of fighting.
They all couldn't think about it and ran to Gelthorne to practice close combat techniques with Drow such as killing girls in their arms or stabbing in the back.
Ige originally wanted to stop it, but later he let it go.
The ratio of men to women in Zeelandia is really unbalanced. It makes me feel sour when I see someone taking their good drow wife for a walk to make sweets.
After all, not every good drow is as considerate and anxious as Grena, the wife of the orc Droru.
Now, with the growth of Zelandia, the social status of the vast majority of Zelandia people has also been relatively improved.
At least they can choose to 'ransom' their brothers after provoking the drow girls by spending a little money or a small gift exclusive to Zelandia, and achieve sustainable development without becoming a
A despised scumbag.
This is generally the case, let alone the middle and senior management of Hoge Mining.
They are all busy and worried that something will go wrong if they hold it in.
Under such circumstances, he suddenly learned that he could finally return to the surface and build a city in the North.
How could this group of guys not be excited? If it weren't for Ige, a big boss who was vaguely ranked among the top five in Zelandia, I'm afraid this group of guys would have started to party, no, they would have almost started a fight.
"But Director Ige, although this rule seems fair and just, if they make their own choices, wouldn't those children all flock to choose you masters?
"There are also aliens like the tauren brother Renn. I simply doubt that any children will choose him?"
A human shield swordsman wearing brand new silver armor raised his hand and asked.
This man was one of the teammates who went on the Nether magic ship "dungeon" adventure with Levi and the Minotaur Renn back then.
Although he was lost due to an accident as soon as he entered, fortunately, he had an adventure with the mountain barbarian warrior and the druid in the magic ship. When the magic ship collapsed, he was killed by the Lich Brad.
[Group teleportation] was sent out.
Now, after eight years of investigation, he and the tauren Renn have finally joined Hogg Mining.
As for career
Well, since Zeelandia's other establishments are currently full, the temporary position is 'Security Squad Leader'.
Also known as the concierge
If two high-level warriors with an average strength of fifteen or six levels were to look at the gate, if it spread to the surface, they would probably suspect that Zelandia is some kind of hidden holy land.
However, Levi asked Igor to tell them the promise that they would start as concierge security guards. Once Zeelandia's new city of Minas Tirith on the surface is built, they can be promoted to 'property managers'.
Exactly one and the other are compiled.
But it makes other people miserable, but at least they are the same people who have ‘made mistakes’ with the boss. This is fate! This is destiny!
Although they didn't know what the so-called property manager was, they suddenly understood it once Ige explained that it would be used specifically to collect all miscellaneous fees from various stores in Xincheng and resolve related disputes.
Isn't this just the business that is monopolized by various gangs in the city-state?
This is such a fat mess!
And it's respected by others. After all, isn't this being done by Zelandia's officials themselves?
It can be said that with this position and status, these two will probably not have to worry about girls in the future.
Maybe those small merchants are rushing to send their daughters to them.
"These two questions are actually still the same question. It seems that you still don't understand the mechanism of this two-way voluntary selection. Forget it, let me demonstrate it to you. Adjutant Icarus, Ige applied for the docking data model."
Ige scratched his hair, which had become thinner since learning the arcana, and knocked directly on the white wall of the conference hall.
"The third-level management authority has been confirmed and data calculation services will be provided."
A voice that only Ig could hear was transmitted from the Dream Network into his mind.
Immediately afterwards, the projector-like alchemy tool behind them projected light and shadow on the wall, and then the name modules of everyone present appeared, and then the names of some children were simulated.
Under Ige's demonstration, most of the children's names were clustered at the bottom of the list of mages.
After the mage's priority selection, the unsuccessful children began to be sorted and screened according to their second, third, and fourth preferences, layer by layer, until no one was selected, and they were transferred to the name of the unlucky guy who was not selected.
"This rule boils down to a simple mathematical model."
Ige explained with a dry mouth while demonstrating, and then asked: "Do you understand now?"
Except for the mages who knew it well, everyone else shook their heads in a daze and said:
“Didn’t understand”
"so complicated"
"What the hell is this?"
Ige patted his head in pain: "This is exactly why we mages can get the right to choose first. Because we are not intelligent enough, we can't be mages at all!"
Iger's sincere words were like a group of people laughing at him after firing a map cannon.
But the faces of the big bosses below turned red for a while, and they all lowered their heads in shame.
I don't even have the courage to argue.
Because this is a very realistic and true fact.
Before warriors reached the legendary level, they generally felt inexplicably put off when facing mages.
Especially Ren, who was a tauren, sighed deeply.
The shield swordsman Sigard on the side looked at Ren with sympathy and sighed: "According to this theory, most of the children assigned to Ren are either mentally retarded or disabled?"
But the tauren old man shrugged, "It's okay for mentally retarded or disabled children. I just want a child to help me take care of myself in the future."
"According to me, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" the shield swordsman asked privately.
But Ren sighed: "Do you think I don't want to? The key point is that there are not many female tauren in Gelthorn, and it is impossible for them to go to the surface to live with me through inspection for no reason.
"Don't look at me with that look. It's possible that according to the boss, the reproductive isolation between our Tauren and other races is relatively strong. I have been working in the Underdark for more than ten years and I have never found a Tauren."
Sigard was speechless.
I thought that if a tauren elf were really born, that would only scare people, okay?
But he didn't dare to say this.
He patted Ren on the shoulder to express comfort.
But at this moment, Iger finished his concluding remarks, glanced at the magic clock, clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, it's almost time. The meeting is over and it's time for you to set off. But before that, we have to follow the script."
But the bald Fisher was shocked: "Are you going to act again?"
"Yes, don't look at me like that. It's what the boss meant. If we hadn't done this last time, I'm afraid the drow would temporarily put aside the dispute and start to increase their hostility towards us. They might even use troops." Ige said calmly.
"What about the script this time?" Fischer stretched out his hand and asked.
"Follow the previous path. Don't worry about your acting skills. Calvin has another arcane innovation this time. Just open it when you are about to leave the main entrance. It is only valid for one hour."
Ige directly threw him two scrolls, and one was in his own hand.
When Fischer heard that it was produced by Calvin, the hand holding the scroll immediately trembled. Even Hotz and the old dwarf Tiger, who had been licking blood from their swords all year round, also trembled.
This is an instinctive reaction of psychological shadow.
Over the years, they had almost witnessed with their own eyes that Calvin had come from behind and gone further and further on the road to spirituality.
The reason why Zhuoer has not been able to discover the newly built Beiyou Tunnel for so many years is that Hoge Mining has done a good job in keeping it secret.
But it is impossible for everyone to be so loyal and unmoved by any interests. What if the words were leaked in a dream in the middle of the night when going to Gelthorn for revenge, and the drow next to the pillow heard it.
