Chapter 17: A New Challenge Is About to Begin
Murphy, who was in the spotlight of public opinion, was cleaning up the slum hut that had not returned for months, and the house was covered in dust and cobwebs everywhere.
"I'll always live in the Mage Tower, and I'd better let you live here than if it was deserted," Murphy said to the middle-aged woman who was busy next to him, wiping his chair all the time.
This middle-aged woman is called Aunt Kelly, and she is Murphy's neighbor, and she used to take care of Murphy occasionally, so she can be regarded as a kind aunt.
"Ah, thank you, I really don't know how to repay you," Aunt Kelly said excitedly when she heard Murphy speak, pausing what she was doing.
Aunt Kelly has enough reason to be grateful, you must know that the shack where she and the five children in the family live at this time is full of holes, wind, and rain, and I don't know when it will collapse. However, they did not have the slightest solution. Her eldest child was only thirteen years old, and the burden of the whole family fell on her shoulders, which were wider than those of most men. But that's too much for a woman.
Of course, their family is just ordinary in the slums, there are dozens or hundreds of such families here, and Murphy is not a savior, so there is no way to save them one by one.
"Well, so be it, I'll come back to see you from time to time," Murphy nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the new cottage he once lived in, and continued, "I'll have to see the renovation of my little shop later." ”
With that, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Lecter in his consciousness, and according to Lecter's prompting, Murphy looked at the five children outside the door, each of whom was carrying a bag larger than their own body, and laboriously walked towards the hut.
Murphy scratched his head and said to Aunt Kelly: "Well, auntie, you know, now I have opened a small shop in the city center, which has just opened and needs manpower, and your second son Poppy is not working yet, so it is better to let him come to my store." ”
"Forty Synt a day, including food and lodging," he added.
Aunt Kelly nodded hurriedly, her son can find a job, which is to make the family less burdened, not to mention such a high-paying job.
In the space of consciousness, Murphy asked Lecter, "Why did you suddenly change sex, how could your slashing personality give a high price of forty Heunt." ”
Although the work of forty sientes a day is innumerable in the city of Sheehan, it is by no means included in the slums, where people who give ten sientes will be flocked to the job, even if they don't need money, only need three meals, and there will be people rushing to do it.
Being responsible for answering Murphy's questions has become Lecter's new task: "Have you heard of the horse bones of Qianjin City, the city gate Lixin, well, you shouldn't know, to put it simply, hiring Bobby is to set an example, as long as someone works for me in the future, they will think of Bobbi for the first time, and they will know that I will never let them down, and their passion for work will be mobilized." ”
"And he is also the first pawn of my slum strategy."
"Besides, this kid is not badly talented, and should be able to do our job."
Murphy nodded, with a teachable expression: "So that's the case, speaking of chess pieces, let's play chess, the chess you invented is really interesting and philosophical." ”
Lecter's old face turned red, and he refused with righteous words: "No, playing chess with a stinky chess basket will only get more and more stinky, and the old man disdains to play chess with you." ”
Lecter brought chess from his previous life back into the world, shamelessly calling it his own invention, but in fact, he only made some simple modifications to these pieces using magic magic.
Specifically, sound and light effects are added. For example, he turned the chessboard into a sand table, and the carts and horse cannons are of course also shaped as real magic guide cars, Thestrals and magic cannons, and there are special effects every time they play chess, the magic guide car will flash magic light all the way and rampage, Thestrals will gracefully jump out of the Japanese grid, and when the magic cannon attacks, it fires a magic ball of light, and when it reaches the top of the enemy's head, the magic cannon will teleport to the ball of light and crush the items under it. Of course, don't worry about actually breaking the pieces, because it's just a magic effect.
Not only that, but the generals who sit high in the Chinese army will make judgments about the current situation, whether they are frustrated or happy, and so on.
Unfortunately, Murphy and Lecter are the worst people to be scolded by their own masters.
The two sets of chess sets he made were very few that he could use on his own.
Lecter, the ancestor of chess (self-styled, Amerol also has a very primitive wizard chess), the true level of genius inventors, can only be regarded as below average.
At present, in the first echelon are the sage in red and Levy, the two of them firmly hold a pair of chess sets, standing at the top of the chess power, it is the kind of realm that can see the mountains at a glance.
The second echelon is the sage in gray and the mayor, they are the sage in red who can win occasionally at the top, and the sage in red at the bottom.
The last team is, of course, Lecter, who has never won a single game against Murphy, but he himself can hold Murphy to the table.
As for Murphy, to put it simply, it is commonly known as the inflow.
That's the case, the gap is too obvious, and it's very boring to play.
"Have you ever thought about promoting chess?" Murphy asked.
For this problem, Lecter is very Buddhist, because he already knows that in the process of playing chess, it is impossible to obtain strange energy, Lecter has not yet figured out the mysterious mechanism of strange energy generation, but since chess cannot produce energy, it is meaningless for Lecter, although he shoulders the heavy responsibility of promoting the culture of the earth, he wants to do something meaningful to himself.
However, Lecter had already revealed to the Cardinal Sage how to make chess, so it was up to them to promote chess culture.
In addition, what worries Lecter even more is that chess and cards are not separated, if chess cannot produce strange energy, then as the best way for the virus to spread, can all cards produce strange energy? That's the crux of the matter.
The Hearthstone strategy had hit a bottleneck, so Lecter didn't rush into developing a card game.
Now Lecter's focus is on promoting the magic brain, and it turns out that the social promotion effect of the settlement formed by more than 100 people is still very weak, so he decided to develop the magic brain terminal to 500 units, and has 50 magic brain terminals in his experience store.
The time has come again to squeeze the labor force of the people, and the so-called recreational activities such as minesweeping, chess, magic pets, and forum irrigation corrod people's hearts and are the main culprits that cause people's laziness, and it is time to resolutely resist them.
Murphy: The little gang of them had to work day and night again.
