Take it easy, I'm a serious game

Chapter 30 The Demonstration Effect
The plan was drawn up, and the four players got together and quickly made a division of labor.

Now Chen Jiu, as "the player with the deepest understanding of the game", has done his part to take on the core work of the player team.

According to his allocation, in the future, Qin Feng and himself will continue to go hunting to ensure the continuous flow of food supply as much as possible.

Of course, they will also mark the food-rich locations along the way, but the main one responsible for the exploration is the worm lady.

As for wigs?

She is not keen on such things, so let her concentrate on building the mushroom house and manage the research institute camp part-time.

No one objected to this arrangement. After all, it was the result of Chen Jiu fully considering the preferences of all players and the reward curve.

Soon, with Chen Jiu as the spokesperson, the players announced the plan to all the refugees as "leaders".

As Chen Jiu expected, these refugees did not react strongly to this, and they did not seem to intend to take the risk of leaving the camp.

Even if Chen Jiu assured them that it was absolutely safe.

"Isn't it to drive us out? Isn't this the same as in the village?"

"I don't see it. The leader above said it was voluntary. If you don't go, you can continue to cut down trees and build houses in exchange for food."

"Then I won't go, the forest is too dangerous, who knows how safe they say it is."

"Yeah, of course it's safe for monks like them, but not necessarily for us"

Seeing the refugees whispering below, Chen Jiu felt helpless.

Of course, he also knew that there was no rush for this matter. If these refugees were so courageous, they would not take refuge in the research institute camp, and just go out to find food by themselves.

If we want them to take action, we still have to set an example so that they can see the benefits of doing this.

As for this typical candidate, Chen Jiu already had the answer in his heart.

Lin Shuang!

This girl is completely different from other villagers in Xiahe Village. She has a more cheerful personality and is not so resistant to taking risks.

But from what point of view?

It should be known that Lin Shuang has been fully responsible for the business relationship between Xiahe Village and the research institute during this period of time. She brought urgently needed mushrooms to the research institute, as well as a large amount of Gebu and cattail quilts to keep out the cold.

Relying on such transactions, she has already formed a stable income, and it seems that it is not so easy to persuade her to start taking risks again.

But what Chen Jiu didn't expect was that before he went to find Lin Shuang, she took the initiative to find him.

In the evening after the decision was announced, other players had already gone offline. Chen Jiu stayed in Chidi, planning to check the latest progress and player attribute data with Shuanghe. Lin Shuang, who had just returned from Xiahe Village, came over with a full face. Seriously asked:
"Leader Chen Chen, are you planning to let us villagers find food by ourselves?"

"Is it true that chopping down trees for food will no longer be done?"

Her fear is the same as that of many refugees, that is, she is afraid of losing this stable food source.

After all, in the eyes of most people, such a thing as "cutting trees for food" is a kind of charity in itself, and since it is charity, it can be terminated at any time.

Chen Jiu was not surprised by her worry, he replied:

"No, cutting trees for food has always been effective, and we will not change this."

"But to be honest, it's not enough to feed all of us just by hunting for food."

"As you can see, we are trying to grow mushrooms. If we succeed, we can get a certain amount of food even during the ice tide."

"But it's not enough, we have to find more food sources."

"In fact, we've already found it, we just don't have more hands to collect it."

"That's the fundamental reason for this plan."

Hearing Chen Jiu's answer, Lin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I read these "leaders" correctly, they are indeed reputable businessmen.

Even though it is clear that the refugees benefit more from the transaction, they have no intention of going back on their word.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more that these leaders were different from the ordinary people she knew on Chidi.

"So, you guys are going to do the same thing as I did before?"

"If I find an oak tree with acorns in the Wanku Forest and the location is not dangerous, I will tell my sister and let her pick acorns."

"Are you going to find acorns for these villagers?"

"clever!"

Chen Jiu nodded appreciatively, and continued:

"But the problem now is that even though we have repeatedly promised that the oak tree is absolutely safe, there are still very few people who are willing to go - or, in other words, none at all."

"They're all on the sidelines, waiting for someone else to take the risk first."

Lin Shuang on the opposite side nodded empathetically.

She has also experienced such a situation.

Not to mention these villagers, even my own sister doesn't trust me every time.

Fear can overwhelm their reason and make them make less correct judgments.

After thinking for a moment, she asked:
"Do you need my help? I can be the first."

"As long as they see good results, I think there will be people willing to follow you."

Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Chen Jiu's face.

perfect!

Before she even opened her mouth, she actually offered to participate.

What is it called?The self-consciousness of the workers!
If every player and every refugee can have such an awareness, why can't Chidi be rebuilt?
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you!"

"I know you've done a lot in trading recently, but judging from the current situation, Xiahe Village can no longer provide more supplies we need."

"I've got to find you a new job—and now, it's in front of you."

"So, would you like to?"

Seeing Chen Jiu's expectant eyes, Lin Shuang nodded solemnly.

She is not for the so-called "job", but for her people to really live.

The two quickly reached a consensus. Chen Jiu picked up a branch, roughly drew a map of Wanku Forest according to the information provided by Shuanghe, and then marked several points on the map.

"You see, this is where we find food collection so far."

"Here is an oak tree with a few acorns on it."

"Here is a pine forest, where you can collect pine nuts."

"This is a puddle, and there are a lot of aquatic insects there, which are edible."

"We will go hunting from the camp tomorrow, and we will pass the oak tree on the way, you can go with us"

"No, too little."

Lin Shuang on the opposite side shook her head and interrupted Chen Jiu.

"Too little? What do you mean?"

"There is too little food in these places, even if it is picked back, it is not enough to convince other people."

Chen Jiu was stunned, this is a problem.

If you can't show enough benefits to other refugees when you go out for the first time, it will be even more difficult to convince them later.

"What are you going to do?"

he asked.

Lin Shuang paused for a moment, then replied:
"I know of a place where there's a huge field of wild buckwheat."

"We can put the first stop there."

"But the problem is, it's dangerous out there and I need your help"
