Chapter 68 Are You Asking Me if I Support You?
Then the question arises.
What would humans play in the tribal era?
It cannot be too complicated or too brain-intensive, it must be in line with the era and environmental background. It is best to play it once, get addicted, and play it without thinking.
Lu Yao thought about it.
Mahjong, no, too complicated.
Playing cards, no, for the same reason.
Chess? It is also difficult for them.
Lu Yao found that there is only one most suitable one.
Dice.
Lu Yao personally does not like this kind of gambling toy.
However, there is a gambling side in human nature. Adventure treasure hunting is a kind of gambling, and exploring the unknown is also a kind of gambling. This is something that cannot be denied.
Dice, with different points engraved on the six sides, is easy to understand.
Lu Yao checked the relevant information on the Internet.
As early as the Neolithic period, humans began to play a kind of board game, which is considered the ancestor of today's board games. In various board games, dice, an important prop, are needed.
Now that the Garlic Tribe has mastered arithmetic, this simple number should not be a problem.
Lu Yao immediately went out and bought a stone dice in the jewelry store opposite the community. As soon as he got home, he brought the stone dice into the temple.
In the temple, the old astrologer Shahan, who had been silent for a long time, raised his arms excitedly and looked up at the dome of the temple.
"God, do you hear our prayers? You finally see your tiny servant again..."
An exclamation mark appeared above Shahan's head.
"Is this a [dice]?"
"God, you gave us [dice], do you want us to learn how to predict fate?"
"You are so kind, so wise..."
He was praising it crazily, but Lu Yao was so embarrassed that his toes were clenched.
This dice is not used for divination at all.
Astrologers have a professional disease.
No wonder Shahan has been in the temple for so many years, and the simulator has no prompts saying that he can be transformed into a prophet.
Shahan is somewhat lacking in fate with the job of prophet.
Fortunately, although the astrologer clicked the wrong understanding, most people still quickly understood the role of the dice.
[The Garlic Tribe has learned to make and use dice. ]
"This can produce numbers, big and small."
"Yes, you can compare the size! I'm bigger than you, hey! I'm six and you're two! Win!"
"Come again!"
"You're still going to lose, forget it, it's no fun to win you."
"Come back! Another one!"
Most of the tribe's villains quickly understood the meaning of the different numbers on the six sides of the dice. The random jump of numbers will produce different results, which can be applied to many things.
Lu Yao noticed three villains.
The three of them were hiding in a corner, discussing an important matter.
"Just like we agreed before. We will start tonight, steal a paddle boat, and then go and sell the shells. We will take the shells to the island of Donghai clan, where no one knows what we have done."
One of them said: "But if we steal the boat, who will we sell it to?"
"..."
The man continued to ask: "If we sell the boat to the merchant, how can we get to the island on the sea? Steal another boat?"
"..."
"..."
"Fool, why didn't you say it earlier!"
"I just remembered."
"You stupid brain!"
"Sorry!"
The three of them were silent for a while.
"What should we do now?"
The third person said: "...Let the gods guide us, use this dice, which is given by the gods."
"Will the gods guide us to steal the boat?"
The leader said again: "Fool! The gods know everything, but they haven't used lightning to strike us until now, so they must support us! The gods support us in stealing the boat, what are we afraid of!"
Before he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell on the head of the villain, splitting him into ashes.
Lu Yao moved his fingers.
You ask me if I support it? Of course I don't.
Stealing a boat doesn't really matter. But this is the first time I've seen such an outrageous request, so I'll be merciful and satisfy you.
The other little people were so scared that they quickly knelt down and begged, trembling all over.
"God, we will change it immediately, we will change it immediately."
"We were wrong, we were wrong."
Lu Yao had already shifted his sights to other places.
There were two pixel little people chatting by the woods.
The man named Mu Ke said: "Give me a baby!"
The woman named Hai Wanggu said: "Are you stupid?"
"Didn't you say you liked me?"
"I was just kidding."
"Why?"
"You're too young."
Lu Yao looked at them.
Mu Ke was twelve years old, but Hai Wanggu was already twenty-two years old. The age gap in this sister-brother relationship is a bit big.
From the surnames, you can tell that Mu Ke is a descendant of a carpenter, and Hai Wanggu is a descendant of the Donghai family.
"I just want you to give birth to a child for me. Don't give birth to a child for anyone else before I grow up, okay?"
A crying face appeared on the young Mu Ke's head.
"..."
Hai Wanggu said: "Then listen to the will of the gods. You use the [dice] given by the gods. If you can hit 1 three times in a row, it means that this is the fate guided by the gods, and I will agree to you."
Mu Ke took out a dice and threw a 3.
"Cut the tree well, fool."
Hai Wanggu turned and left.
The young Mu Ke knelt on the ground: "Why, why is it like this!"
"God, God, why can't you give me some kindness and blessings! I just want to sleep with Haiwanggu and have children, why can't you help me..."
"God, you are so cruel!"
Lu Yao laughed.
My little friend, you are very brave.
But you are still too young. Cut down trees and don't think too much.
The pixel villains of the Garlic tribe generally understand dice, but most of the time they use it to resolve disputes. As the name suggests - using the guidance of the gods to decide who is right and who is wrong.
This is somewhat different from Lu Yao's original entertainment idea.
While he was observing the appearance of all living beings, a large-scale armed fight suddenly broke out in the tribe.
The two groups of villains didn't know why, but they started fighting with bows, arrows and spears. As more and more people joined, the chaos escalated.
Morimi and the two leaders of the fishing company quickly came to stop them.
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
The wizard Senjian was now a highly respected elder in the tribe. As soon as he came forward, the riot was quickly contained.
"Businessmen are so disgusting!"
"That's right, they caused us to lose all our money!"
"Yep!"
"Damn businessmen!"
A group of villains have different opinions.
Lu Yao checked the words of many villains and finally clarified the whole story.
The reason is this.
Fishermen who went out to sea caught some beautiful corals and shells while fishing in the ocean, and these things are valuable. After returning, the merchants bought it at a very low price, and then sold it to the salt pond at a high price, making a huge profit.
Not only that, businessmen also forged seashells and mixed fake seashells with real seashells, causing fishermen to suffer huge losses both inside and outside.
The fishermen finally had enough and asked the merchant to return the seashells to them. When the merchants refused, the fishermen became angry and attacked.
This large-scale brawl is an outburst of dissatisfaction and anger among fishermen who have been deceived by businessmen for a long time.
Lu Yao wanted to see how the tribe would handle this matter.
As long as there are more people, there will always be people who want to take a wrong path to obtain excess profits. This kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated for the time being, and can only be restrained through various means and rules to protect people's legitimate interests.
To Lu Yao's surprise, before the leadership group could make a verdict, a businessman stood up and expressed his willingness to pay all the losses of the fishermen.
It is a heroic business profit.
Shang Li said: "In order to make transactions more fair and equitable, I hope that leaders can formulate a rule. If the transaction losses are caused by deception and concealment, compensation needs to be paid to the other party."
"Correspondingly, if the price is just too high, but both parties agree, then the transaction is legitimate and recognized and protected by the entire tribe."
"I made a lot of records based on the problems that have existed in tribal transactions over the years. I also wrote down my personal thoughts and asked the two leaders to read them."
Shang Li took out a small notebook.
Morijian and Yulian looked at each other for a while, and exclamation marks appeared above their heads.
"very good!"
"Well written!"
They discussed with Shang Li for a while.
A new prompt appears on the screen.
[Shang Li wrote the "Tribal Trading Code". 】
[The Garlic Tribe invented the law. 】
[The Garlic Tribe learned to formulate and implement laws, and everyone's intelligence improved slightly. 】
Lu Yao took a sip of tea and nodded secretly.
This business profit is a talent.
He and Yulian will be the future of the tribe.
