Chapter 3 You Have Flaws in the System
Soon after, Xiwei came to the outside of Winter City surrounded by a group of knights.
What comes into view is a wide moat, and some villages and fields are located around the river.
Along the way, Xiwei saw figures with worn-out clothes and pale faces. The village houses were working in the fields with straw hats. A woman was wearing a headscarf, a basket on her hands, and a little wild fruit in it, preparing to go to Winter City for sale. Occasionally, she could meet several hunters carrying wild game. Although they looked better, they were covered in scars. You should know that in such a world, ordinary people were just gambling their lives in the mountains and forests.
These people who seem to be living extremely hard are the large population of the Eagle leader. Most of them are farmers and serfs with low status and poor people.
According to the Kingdom Code, everything in the territory belongs to the lord. The peasants must work for the lord for at least four days a week and must pay agricultural products and land rents to the lord in the form of taxes to thank the lord for their protection, although the remaining food is not enough to eat.
The serfs with lower status are even worse. They have no household registration, no land, and no self-owned property. They are just a group of free laborers. Being able to survive is the greatest luxury.
"System, these leaders were already exploited by the previous lord and could not get over the land. If you still asked me to trample on their fields, will your conscience hurt?"
Shivi gritted his teeth and questioned the system angrily.
As a young man with a good education in the 21st century, it was too much for him to steal the candy from children. Now he still wants to bully these exploited leaders. This is simply peeling off the wound and sprinkling salt.
"Ding! Host, the system has no conscience, and all the behaviors of the system are to create the strongest villain!"
"Garbage system, what else do you say besides saying this?"
Xiwei was speechless. He felt that the system was not cultivating the strongest villain, but should be cultivating the strongest psychopath.
"It is impossible to destroy those poor leaders as the meaning of this garbage system." Xiwei thought in his heart.
"This garbage system is so rigid and not smart at all. There must be some way to take advantage of its loopholes."
"System, can you tell me what are the specific criteria for villain's behavior?" Xiwei asked the system in his mind.
"Ding! The standard for the effective behavior of villains is that they must cause psychological trauma to others."
"Psychological trauma?"
Sivi held his chin and thoughtful.
What he did in the city before can be said to have caused serious psychological trauma to a group of children, and may have become a shadow of their childhood.
As for Xiaopangdun, he once told Xiaopang that if he took away a candy and had two Xiaopangduns, this behavior obviously would not cause psychological trauma to Xiaopang, so it was also determined by the system that it was invalid villain behavior.
Thinking of this, Shiwei felt that he had already grasped something.
"In other words, it is actually feasible to give a sweet date with a slap, but this slap must be kept to cause psychological trauma to the other party, and the other party does not know that there will be a sweet date in the future as compensation."
Xiwei's eyes lit up, and he decided to try his thoughts immediately. Looking around, there was a piece of farmland not far away.
Old Link was working in the fields at this time. The hot sun at noon was baking his dark skin, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down his cheeks into the fields.
Suddenly, he felt a black shadow appear in front of him, and then a huge hoof stepped on the wheat seedlings he had worked hard to plant.
"Which dog...uh?"
Old Link frowned and looked up and was about to scold the bastard who stepped on his wheat seedlings. However, when he looked up, he saw a handsome young man with the golden lion clan emblem on his armor, riding on a handsome dragon blood horse. Behind the young man was a team of tall and burly knight masters.
Old Link swallowed, forced himself to hold back the swear words, then his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground.
"Lord, please spare me! Lord, please spare me!..." Old Link buried his head deep on the ground with trembling trembling. His mind was blank. He could no longer say anything except for Lord, please spare me.
Xiwei looked at the old farmer who was lying on the ground and frightened to the point of being frightened. He felt uncomfortable. It was him who had trampled on the old man's field, but now he was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy with humility.
"It's really a shame to say whether this system is said or not." Xiwei cursed secretly. At this time, Xiwei and his knights had already stepped on a two-meter-wide path in the field, but even so, the system still did not determine that Xiwei's mission was completed.
There was no choice but to let it go, although he couldn't bear it, but Shiwei had to order his knights to stomp around the field.
"I ran into the Lord Lord, this is the punishment I deserve."
Old Link muttered in his heart that it was a blessing to be able to save his life. He knelt on the ground, dared not say a word, and allowed the knights under the lord to destroy the fields, but his heart was bleeding.
These are the wheat seedlings he planted with great effort. Without these wheat seedlings, he would not be able to pay taxes in the second half of the year. The final result was to be taken back to the land and demoted to a serf.
...
"Ding! Daily Task Three has been completed. Will you receive the reward now?"
"no!"
It seems that my tyrannical behavior has caused serious psychological trauma to the old farmers, so now is the time to try to compensate.
But how to compensate is a technical job. This compensation not only needs to make up for the elderly’s losses, but also cannot be too much, making the elderly think that this was intentional. It doesn’t matter whether the elderly can react in the future, because he only needs to deceive the system now.
Considering that the old man would immediately use all his strength to rescue the wheat seedlings after they left, Xiwei suddenly had an idea in his mind, so when he left the wheat field, he pretended to accidentally drop more than a dozen silver coins.
Xiwei held his breath nervously, but he still didn't hear the system prompt until he was far away from the wheat field.
"It seems that my idea is right." Xiwei smiled slightly and felt relaxed. After finding the loopholes in the system, Xiwei became more and more confident about whether he could survive in the subsequent plot.
Maybe others would think that those silver coins were accidentally dropped by Shivi, but Cramont would not. Because Shivi himself is the Earth Knight and his perception of various subtle events has reached an outrageous level, so these silver coins must have been deliberately removed. Although Cramont did not understand what the purpose of Mr. Shivi did this, he believed that this was the same as Mr. Shivi snatching children's candy before, and there must be a deep meaning that he could not easily understand!
"The young master is becoming more and more unpredictable!"
Cramon looked at Shivi's back with admiration and exclaimed in his heart.
...
In the wheat field, Old Link sorted out the tilted wheat seedlings with heartache, and his turbid eyes were filled with tears of sadness.
Suddenly, with the reflection of the sun, Old Link saw a round, shining thing in the wheat field.
It was a silver coin! Old Link rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. It was indeed a silver coin.
He picked up the coin with some surprise and put it in the palm of his hand, folded his hands together to thank the gift from the God of Harvest.
But then, near the place where the first silver coin was found, Old Link discovered more silver coins one after another. After he finished the wheat field, thirteen shining silver coins were already neatly lying in his torn pocket.
These silver coins are enough for his family to live a stable life for a year, and he still has the time to pay taxes, so he no longer has to worry about becoming a serf.
The sudden wealth made Old Link a little stunned. He couldn't help but think of the young lord who had brought the knight to trample on the wheat field before.
"Is it that lord?" Old Link shook his head again, denying his innocent thoughts in his heart. The lord who is arrogant will not care about the life or death of these humble farmers.
Old Link was more willing to believe that this was the result of his diligent and daily praying for the God of Harvest. It was the God who saw his suffering and saved his believers who were in distress.
