Chapter 212: Rules are Everything
"Hah, twenty catties are up to standard, the four of us already have a hundred catties of spirit stones here, are you still too little?" Feng Yuxiu said mockingly, "And it only took us half a day to complete the task, what kind of elephant are you kid putting green onions in this pig's nose?"
The guard had already stated that each person only needed to mine twenty catties of spirit stones per day to meet the standard, and the four of them had already exceeded the task on average, so it was just Zhou who was here to establish power! However, Zhou was not angry, but said slowly: "Do you think that if you meet the standard, you will have food? That is just the qualification to eat, fortunately Li Lao saved your life, otherwise you will definitely starve to death here in less than a month with this means." ”
The four of them were suspicious and confused, and Li Dong also walked slowly and tremblingly with the support of his younger brother, and his team also followed closely behind, just looking at Liu Xun and the four of them with a little vigilance and unkindness. Li Dong sighed: "I'm afraid that the little brother hasn't understood the rules of this place yet, so the old man will tell you the rules and regulations of this place......"
"Regulation..... Tell you, if it weren't for the guard's words that you weren't allowed to fight, I would have beaten you to kneel down and call me grandpa!" Feng Yuxiu looked unhappy and clenched his fists in warning, which made Li Dong very unhappy with the word rules on his mouth.
"What are you talking about, boy, do you want to die?" Zhou was angry, and those little brothers were also angry and shouted, even Li Dong was stunned, but he quickly recovered and immediately laughed and ridiculed: "Young people are too angry and easy to die early, and you must not understand the Taoist ideals that are too rigid and easy to break, and you will not survive for three months if you don't know how to raise obscurity here!"
Li Dong turned to look at Liu Xun and continued: "You should be their leader, right? The old man will tell you the truth, no matter what your purpose is, but this place is definitely not for you and others to snoop on, wake up all of them to die, and the old man advises you to keep to yourself and avoid misfortune!"
The huge waves were churning in the hearts of the four of them, and if it weren't for the bell to attract them, they would have spied on them at that time. The four of them looked at the old man deeply, Li Dong was by no means a thing in the pool, it could not be as simple as it seemed, although he had already stepped on the Nai He Bridge now, but those eyes were still dazzling and shining like torches.
Liu Xun clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. for mentioning it, but we are just ordinary mountain people, and our cultivation is weak." I only hope that An An will do five years of hard labor so that he can go home and reunite with his relatives!"
Li Dong nodded and said, "That's the best! By the way, where did the old man say just now? The rules, the rules! What the old man wants to tell you are the rules for eating here!"
"Every hour is the time when we wait to mine spirit stones, that is, the meal time. It's just that this place is simple, so the canteen can only accommodate two hundred people to eat at the same time, so the order of eating is determined by the total number of spirit stones they pay based on the unit of two hundred people!"
Liu Xun nodded and expressed his understanding, the conditions of the mine are poor, and only by establishing an effective order can it be busy and not chaotic, after all, there are nearly 10,000 people here, if there are no rules and constraints, it will naturally not be able to be orderly, and there will inevitably be riots. But when I think about it, there is a sense of disobedience, but this feeling is inexplicable and inexplicable.
Feng Yuxiu slapped his palms, as if he suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder you are in a hurry to pull me and others into the gang, dare you are not enough to make up two hundred people, so you can't complete the need for twenty catties of spirit stones per capita."
Please!"
"Cut, the old sow eats mustard and sticks gold on her face!" Zhou seemed to be very uneasy with Feng Yuxiu, and continued to mock, "Just because of your little output, you are also worthy of entering our team? If it weren't for the sake of the old man, I wouldn't have bothered to accept such waste from you!"
"Hah, you say it again!" Feng Yuxiu said angrily, Zhou disdained to taunt again but was interrupted by Li Dong's angry reprimand, and immediately retreated, as if he was very jealous and respectful. Li Dong turned to look at Liu Xun and continued to ask, "Boy, do you understand the rules of eating?"
Liu Xun pondered for a moment, nodded and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I only understand half of it!"
"Oh. Tell me about it!" Li Dong's wrinkled pale face jumped into a flush, like a look of hope.
Liu Xun did not answer directly, but looked at the team of Zhao, Qian, Sun and others, looked at those who were mixed with joy, and said in a deep voice: "The time is not right!"
"There are nearly 10,000 people here, and if you eat for 200 people at a time, then even if you freeze the time of each meal in a quarter of an hour, you can only provide food for 1,600 people in that hour!
"Although Liu doesn't know when to start work, it has been five hours since we entered this place!
Li Lao nodded and said: "Good acuity, then the old man will give you a wake-up call! Every hour starts at the end of the unitary, and two o'clock is the meal time, and there is only one meal a day." The meal time is a quarter of an hour as you might expect, and the rest time is the rest of the four hours!"
"So only 3,200 people at most, a third of the peasants and laborers here!"
"I'll it, that little master, didn't I do it for nothing? I don't give him food, but I will give him a bird!" Feng Yuxiu was angry and indignant. Liu Xun nodded and said, "No wonder you dislike our output, it turns out that this is the reason!"
The guard said that twenty catties per person was actually just a qualification, which meant that the minimum standard for a team was four thousand catties of spirit stones. Of course, this is only the lower limit, if you want to get food, you can only eat food by ranking the total amount in the top sixteen, so this one can not only provide the least cost but also promote production capacity more!
That's why you have to form a team, because no matter how tough you are, you can't stand the output of 200 people!
Liu Xun thought for a while and asked, "Since this is the case, then the rules for eating must have been formed here, right?"
Li Dong nodded and asked, "Tell me, what kind of rules are there?"
Liu Xun groaned a little and said, "If I am the boss here, then I will divide everyone into groups of two hundred, and then eat in a loop!"
Liu Xun's plan is very simple, that is, if there are 10,000 people in total, they will be divided into 100 groups, and there will only be two hours to eat, that is, 32 groups. In this way, every three days is a cycle, so that everyone has something to eat, after all, they are all responsible for cultivation, and they can barely survive in three days, and the most important thing is that the standard of spirit stones is twenty catties, so they only need seven catties, so they don't have to be so tired.
Li Dong nodded, Liu Xun's plan is perfect, and only in this way can we ensure that everyone is equal
But if it's just that simple, then how difficult will they live? Li Dong sighed: "So there is a second rule in this canteen, and the second rule is the culprit that shatters all this!"
"That's the restaurant's limited number of meals!"
"Lord Demon Pillar is extremely intelligent and does not mean to be harsh, but he will prepare the rations of three thousand two hundred people at a time and place them in the dining room, and then eat them in order of priority. But everyone is greedy, and those who are at the top of the rankings will definitely eat and drink heavily, after all, eating more food in three days can save more strength! Therefore, those who are behind can only eat those scraps of cold soup until they even take the bottom of the plate to lick it!"
"Holy!"
The four of them were stunned, and their hearts were even more disgusting, in other words, even if you were among the three thousand two hundred, what you ate was the leftover food of others, and even the bones they spit out, he lost his appetite just thinking about it!
Feng Yuxiu said disgustingly: "Master, I won't eat other people's leftovers!"
Li Dong said with a smile: "The foundation building monk can still support three days without eating, but most of the people here are in the realm of quenching the body, and one meal in three days can basically only keep them alive! If you don't eat this scrap, it will be a dead end!"
This Bifrones is really very intelligent, and the seemingly simple rules have long contained the rules of the world. First of all, the cultivation of the inhabitants of the ancient desolate is acceptable, so one meal in three days can ensure that everyone will not starve to death, so they will no longer have the energy to think about other things, after all, living is the only goal, as long as you persist for five years, you can regain your life!
And the second trick is to prepare enough food to establish his integrity, but he knows the bad roots of people, so no one will abide by the rules and leave the food equally to the follow-up, so they will desperately strive for the top ranking, so the bottom line of twenty catties is actually just a lie, in order to show the compassion of Lord Demon!
rules, but everyone obeys the rules! So they became the dead soldiers in the gladiatorial arena and fought to bite. Hunger marketing tactics force them to change new rules, they will co-opt the tough ones to make new teams, and they will use numbers to oppress everything with cleverness.
For example, take Qian Yu's team as an example, their total number is 1,200 people, that is, six groups, and he will divide these six groups into two teams, that is, the team is a cycle! This method is very simple, that is, the three groups of the first team will hand over all the spirit stones mined on the first day to the first group, and raise the ranking of the first group to the top in exchange for a good seat to have a full meal, and the next day it will be the second group's turn to eat. Therefore, the three-day cycle can still have a full meal.
Because only in this way can we work as a team to get a good ranking, and if we work separately, we will only lose both. Because when you take out twenty spirit stones per capita, but find that you can't rank well, what's the difference between that and zero?
Therefore, strong men can enter their camp, of course, there are also smart people who will choose other methods, such as a team of two hundred people can take out the spirit stones mined for three days at a time and change them to a good seat, but such a large number of spirit stones are difficult to hold on to not being stolen by others, so they can only be forced to submit after a long time.
Of course, there are people at the top and people at the bottom, so there is a group of people huddled in the dark corners, and we call them the lower bracket!
