Chapter 49: The Game
Nola's abdominal beating, of course, didn't do any harm to Asker, after all, he was a demigod.
However, if you can successfully relieve the anger of the two wives, this punch is still quite worthwhile.
Soon it was time for dinner, and it was natural to have a dinner party at the Hearthfire Island Manor, after all, today was the first time everyone had gathered together in so many years.
Nora went to the kitchen to cook, and the rest of the girls sat at the table in their own places, you look at me, I look at you, their expressions a little embarrassed and unnatural.
Six years ago, as companions of the Blue Sword Mercenary Regiment, everyone could sit here without any guilt, chatting, laughing, and trusting each other intimately, as if they belonged to the same big family.
After six years, we're here again, and this time it's really a big family, and it's a ......
It's so weird!
In other words, if everyone changes their words to call the head of the regiment "husband", how should everyone call each other? Sisters? If it's a sister, then who is the sister and who is the sister?
"Ahem! I'm going to help Nora chop vegetables! Eleanor stood up and left in a panic.
"I'm going to check the stockpiles in the warehouse." Theodora also stood up.
"Then I'm ......" Asker also wanted to get up, and was immediately held down by Sidlifa next to him.
"While Asker is here, I have a proposal." Sidlifa looked at everyone with a fierce look, "Although everyone agreed to share a husband, Aske only had one. So how do you allocate your time? ”
"Uh, we split it evenly?" Mia asked.
Divide equally, one eighth per person, and then she and Mi'er are used to going together anyway, then it's double the time, perfect~
"It's not quite right for us to split evenly." Medea smiled and said, "Aske is not only a husband, but also a father. Little Lilith and I deserve equal distribution. ”
Apparently this one also had the idea of double the time, so much so that Mia immediately showed a poker face. If little Lilith had joined in, she and Mi'er would have had a quarter of them combined, but now they'd only have two out of nine.
"I want one-half, at least." Peggy said coldly.
"What's the point?" Sidlifa slapped the table angrily, "Don't forget that we agreed to share Asker because we couldn't defeat each other, and this was a forced situation, you know?" In fact, we all wish that all the competitors here would die, so that we can have it for ourselves! I propose that everyone play in the ring once a month, choose any opponent to go head-to-head, and the loser will give half of the time next month to the winner! ”
"I don't think it's right." Asker couldn't help but say, "You don't have to call around......"
"Shut up!" Sidlifa turned her head and yelled at him, "You crumb man doesn't deserve to speak!" Anyway, you don't care who sleeps with you! ”
Asker: ..................
The first half of the sentence is completely undeniable, and the second half of the sentence ...... If there is a so-called, then everyone will ask him "who do you prefer", there is no doubt that this is a proposition of the Tao and can never be answered, so he can only remain silent.
"It's too much trouble to go it alone, there's no need for it." Mi'er calmly objected, "In fact, there is a simpler and more direct way, that is, everyone shares ...... together."
"It doesn't matter if there's anyone else on the side, I'm going to have half of the time anyway, at least." Peggy said coldly.
"Sharing sounds okay, but it's not possible. Because sometimes you want to be alone with your husband, and if you're always with a lot of people, you feel more like a tool. Medea objected, "Let's discuss how to allocate our time." Of course, if you feel that the equal share is not enough, you can also choose to exchange it for someone else's time, as long as the other person agrees. ”
"Then it's complicated." Mi'er observed the future, frowned, and said, "You know what? If that's what you say, then Asker's companionship time ...... In the future, it will become a currency-like trading chip that circulates between us. Although each person was initially given an equal amount of time, it was not long before people began to use loans, deception, threats of violence, and even the use of their position to mobilize national interests in exchange for time in the hands of other wives. ”
"In about five or six years, because of our ridiculous, childish desires and struggles, the world will be a mess for us."
"That's not going to work, let's not do that." Asker said quickly.
If it really develops like this, it is estimated that he will become the crumbs of the world.
For example, Peggy borrowed an extra month from Sidlifa, but when it expired, he still didn't return it, and Sidlifa, in a fit of rage, set off a war between the northern Helsinger Empire and the Eastern Solomon Empire, and then estimated that all the citizens of Constantinople would curse their disdain.
"Heh, what's the matter?" Medea disagreed, "Even if we really strictly enforce the equalization, some people won't play tricks?" For example, sharing each other's time? ”
Her gaze swirled over Mia and Mi'er, Mia turned her head a little weakly, and Mi'er smiled and said:
"Sharing is not the same as trading. The transaction seems to be acceptable to both parties, but in fact it is not equal, and there is a high probability of exploitation; And sharing, the time you have does not decrease, but can increase the time that others spend with Asker. ”
"But the value is not the same." Medea said coldly, "There is no way to deny that the time spent 'alone with your husband' is undoubtedly more valuable than the time you spend sharing your husband with another woman?" Choosing to make a sharing agreement with someone else is equivalent to having a small amount of high-value time in exchange for more low-value time, which is essentially a transactional behavior. ”
In other words, if you don't care about sharing, you can take advantage of your own low demand to sell your own high-value time and buy more low-value time. At the same time, in order to prevent other people's time from being bought by a third party, it deliberately prohibits other transaction methods other than sharing...... The abacus is well played, Mier, but it's not fair. ”
"Ah, ah, I think Mi'er has a point." Mia's brain is obviously unable to handle such a complex economic game problem, and can only adopt the ass method - the ass supports whichever side it is.
"I want half the time, at least, I have to." Peggy turns on repeater mode.
"Anyway, I didn't understand it from beginning to end, what's the point of you guys doing all that nonsense, bullying us people who don't spin fast enough, huh?" Sidlifa said murderously, "Even if you follow your rules, I don't accept it, I want to rebel, don't you have to subdue me to count?" So can't you just hit it from the beginning? ”
"I think we can take everyone's opinions into account." Asker groaned, "How about taking a certain share of all the time I have and sharing it among all of you, and dividing the rest of the time among one person individually?" The big deal is that I'm a little tired......"
"Shut up!" The girls shouted angrily, "Phew! You think beautifully! ”
