The Eternal battle

" No "

Shi Tu, " Who said my favorite woman must be the empress? the empress must be determined by many factors, not just how much I prefer her. "

Alice seemed convinced and asked, " So how do you want to do this? "

" It's simple, I've already thought about the harem system. "

" Harem system? What embarrassing name? How old are you? "

Alice couldn't hide her disgust for Shi Tu from the ridiculous idea, but Arcana didn't seem to care.

Shi Tu ignored this comment and said, " Simply put, the harem system is a special system that gives each woman certain points based on preference, her strength, the contributions of her faction, and her contributions. Whoever has the most points is the Empress. "

Arcana showed a glint in her eyes and seemed to have already understood the ins and outs of this system and could not help but smile because this system meant that Shi Tu's personal preferences would not contribute much to determining the position of every woman in the Shi Tu harem.

Of course, unlike Arcana, Alice can't comprehend everything quickly and asked, " Doesn't this make the Empress's replacement possible? If the Empress is changed periodically, it will upset the order. "

" That's better "

Shi Tu answered, " What if a new woman later joins the harem? Her inability to reach the position of Empress because the Empress was previously chosen is unfair to her …. painful!! "

Shi Tu was pinched on both sides by force.

" Do you intend to gather more women? "

"Your appetite is truly big. " 

" It's just an example. Don't take everything I say for granted. "

Shi Tu moved away a bit for his safety and said, " Look at me, even though all these years have passed, how many times do you think Jiao Lang and Die Yingming tried to replace me and take over the top? Did they succeed? "

"A true emperor can keep his throne no matter who is challenging him, the same for the Empress. "

Shi Tu looked at Alice in particular and said, " Don't you want the position of the Empress? "

" Of course I want!! " Alice answered directly.

" But with logic and considering the difference in abilities between you and Arcana as well as the strength behind you, your relationships, and even your abilities, except for my personal preference for you, you can't outrun Arcana making her the Empress without a doubt. If that happened, would you be satisfied? "

" Of course not. " Alice shook her head vigorously.

" In this case, since there is no legitimate way to attain the position of Empress, what is the best way? "

Shi Tu gave Alice a familiar smile. This is Shi Tu's smile when he asks her a work-related question to verify her ability to run Shi Economic Group.

Alice replied reflexively and said, " Borrow a knife to kill her with as little attachment as possible. It is better to destroy her reputation and gather public opinion against her, and it would be better to make her betray her allies until she dies at their own hands, and then the position of Empress will be empty and …."

Alice opened her eyes after realizing what she was saying.

"It seems that Shi Tu's teaching is still rooted in your soul."

" I … I didn't mean to ..."

Before Arcana's empty eyes, Alice found no excuse. after all, what she had just said was no different from declaring war against Arcana.

" It's okay, I know it was planted in you because of Shi Tu. I also wouldn't deserve the position of Empress anyway if I fell into such an obvious trap."

Arcana showed some sarcasm and said, " I don't think I'll lose to such an idiot. "

This time, Alice was silent and did not say anything.

Alice learned the lesson from Shi Tu and will not fall into the trap again. 

Shi Tu enjoyed the show and said since it didn't look like they were going to finish.

" See? To maintain stability, it is better to give everyone an equal chance. "

Alice thought of something and said, " By the way, who are Die Yingming and Jiao Lang? Thinking that they would challenge you for your position. "

As soon as Alice said this, she quickly covered her mouth because she realized the stupidity of what she had said.

Other than Loki and Prometheus, who would have the nerve to do this?

" Jiao Lang is Loki in his previous life and Die Yingming is Prometheus in his previous life. "

Shi Tu didn't say more because Alice understood the rest.

" What is the current ranking then? " Arcana asked.

" Everyone is zero, of course, the counting starts now. Is there any objection? "

" I have an objection! "

" I have an objection! "

Shi Tu kept his calm and seemed to expect this.

" People are not equal so we can't have the same starting line, at least your preference for us is different so it's unfair to put us all on the same starting line "

" That's right " Alice agreed this time with Arcana.

Both of them seemed to be eager to know their balance.

" Well, as I said, the criteria are my personal preference, strength, faction contribution, personal contribution, and background. There is no limit to the number of points in each criterion but to prevent fraud, my preference points cannot exceed twenty percent of the total mark. "

Shi Tu thought for a bit, looked at Arcana, and said, " Since I forgave you for the past, it means that all your contributions at that time will not count. 12 points for personal preference. Your strength and talent are not to be underestimated but combined with the strength of all the members and by taking the strongest and the age difference you will get 5 points. Now you are not the Dark Elf Queen and all that is left is Tang Zhong, but your relationships and network are insignificant, so 20 points for background. Your contributions are not great and not worth mentioning, so three points. Tang Zhong doing an important job, so 20 points for a faction contribution. A total of 60 points. " 

Arcana wanted to say something, but Shi Tu preceded her.

" Raskreia is considered a member of my harem and is independent of you, without her recognition, she will not be considered a member of your faction. If she is recognized as a member of your faction, all of her points will be added to your points. "

Alice watched quietly and did not rush to judgment because she did not know if 60 points crossed a high number or not.

The same for Sun Jie who kept watching without saying anything and seemed to be completely ignored.
