It should not be too complicated or too brain-consuming. It should be in line with the times and environmental background. It is best to master it as soon as you play it, become addicted after a while, and play it without thinking.
Lu Yao thought about it.
Mahjong, no, it's too complicated.
Playing cards is not an option either, for the same reason as above.
Chess? It’s hard for them too.
Lu Yao found that there was only one that was most suitable.
dice.
Lu Yao personally doesn't like this kind of gambling toy.
However, there is gambling in human nature. Taking risks to find treasures is a kind of gambling, and exploring the unknown is also a kind of gambling. This is something that cannot be denied.
A dice has six sides with different numbers engraved on it, which is easy to understand.
Lu Yao checked relevant information on the Internet.
As early as the Neolithic Age, humans began to play a board game, which is considered the ancestor of today's board games. Various board games require the use of dice as an important prop.
Now that the garlic tribe has mastered arithmetic, such simple numbers should not be a big problem.
Lu Yao immediately went out and bought a stone dice from the jewelry store opposite the community. As soon as he got home, he passed the stone dice into the temple.
In the temple, the old astrologer Shahan, who had been silent for a long time, excitedly raised his arms and looked up at the dome of the temple.
"God, do you hear our prayers? You finally see your humble servant again..."
An exclamation mark appeared above Shahan's head.
"Is this [dice]?"
"God, you gave us the gift of [dice] because you want us to learn to predict our fate?"
"You are so kind and wise..."
He praised him wildly, but Lu Yao clenched his toes in embarrassment.
This dice is not used for divination at all.
Astrologers are occupationally ill.
No wonder Shah Khan has stayed in the temple for so many years, and the simulator has not given any hint that he can transform into a prophet.
Shah Khan had some connection with the job of prophet.
Fortunately, although the astrologer misunderstood the prediction, most people quickly understood the function of the dice.
[The Garlic Tribe learned to make and use dice.]
"This can generate numbers, big or small."
"Yes, we can compare! I'm bigger than you, hey! I'm six and you're two! Win!"
"Come again!"
"You still have to lose, forget it, winning is no fun."
"Come back! One more blow!"
The vast majority of tribesmen quickly understood the meaning of the different numbers on the six sides of the dice. Random jumps of numbers will produce different results, which can be applied to many things.
Lu Yao noticed three villains.
The three people were hiding in a corner and discussing an important matter.
"As promised before. We'll steal a galley tonight, steal it, and sell it for seashells. We'll take the seashells to Tokai's island. No one there knows what we've 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 will we go to the island on the sea? Steal another one?"
"..."
"..."
"Idiot, why didn't you tell me 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, the gods only gave it."
"Will the gods guide us to steal the ship?"
The leader added: "Idiot! The gods know everything, but they haven't struck us with lightning so far. They must be supporting us! The gods support us in stealing the ship, so what are we afraid of!"
Before he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning fell on the head of the little man and chopped him into ashes.
Lu Yao moved his fingers.
You ask me if I support it? Of course I don’t support it.
Stealing a boat doesn't really matter. But this is the first time I've seen such an outrageous request, so I will be merciful and satisfy you.
The other villains were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and prayed, trembling all over.
"Lord God, we will change it immediately, we will change it immediately."
"We were wrong, we were wrong."
Lu Yao has already turned his attention elsewhere.
There are two little pixel people chatting by the woods.
A man named Mu Ke said, "Give me a child!"
The woman named Haiwanggu said: "Are you stupid?"
"Didn't you say you like me?"
"Just joking."
"Why?"
"You are too young."
Lu Yao looked at it.
Mu Ke is twelve years old, but Hai Wanggu is already twenty-two years old. The age gap between the siblings is a bit big.
You can tell by looking at the surnames that Mu Ke is a descendant of carpenters, and Hai Wanggu is a descendant of the Donghai clan.
"I just want you to give me a child, okay?"
A crying face appeared on the top of young Mu Ke's head.
"..."
Haiwanggu said: "Then listen to the will of the gods. If you use the [dice] gifted by the gods, if you can throw 1 point three times in a row, it means that this is the destiny guided by the gods, and I will agree to you."
Mu Ke took out a dice and threw a 3.
"Go ahead and chop down the trees, you fool."
Haiwanggu turned and left.
The young man Mu Ke knelt on the ground: "Why, why is this happening!"
"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, just cut down the 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.
For some reason, two groups of villains started fighting with bows, arrows and spears. As more and more people joined, the chaos escalated further.
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.
The fishermen who went out to sea caught some beautiful corals and shells while fishing in the ocean, and these things were valuable. When they came back, the merchants bought them at very low prices, and then sold them to the salt ponds at high prices, making a lot of money.
Not only that, merchants also forged seashells and mixed fake seashells with real seashells, causing fishermen to suffer huge losses both internally and externally.
The fishermen finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the merchant to return the seashells to them. When the merchant refused, the fishermen launched an attack in anger.
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 detours 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.
What surprised Lu Yao was that 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 just, I hope that leaders can formulate a rule. If transaction losses are caused by deception and concealment, compensation needs to be paid to the other party."
"Accordingly, 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 many records based on the problems that existed in tribal transactions over the years, and also wrote down my personal thoughts, and asked the two leaders to review 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 has learned to formulate and implement laws, and everyone's intelligence has been slightly improved.]
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.
