Nokmis concealed production. First of all, he was worried that the heavy work would overdraft his physical strength and cause his physical fitness to be worse than one day. Don’t look at the fact that he can dig a ton and a half of ore every day. In two weeks, I’m afraid he will only dig a ton every day Too tired to get up.
Therefore, she wanted to take advantage of her current physical condition and sufficient physical fitness to save as much inventory as possible to balance the output gap in the future, and finally calculate the average daily output of one ton, which is just enough to complete the task.
In addition, Nokmis also worried that he would report the workload truthfully, which would create such an illusion for the hostess:
You little can still do it! It seems that the mining volume of 30 tons a month is too easy for you. It is not a punishment, so double it!
If this is the case, Nokmis will not be able to complete the task even if he is exhausted, it is better to hit him to death as soon as possible!
It was out of such concerns that she had the courage to conceal part of the output.
Qiao An was amused at her careful thoughts. But on second thoughts, if she is really a cruel and cold "big-eyed tyrant", knowing that Nokmis has completed four and a half days of work in only three days, it is really possible to continue to increase the amount of work, causing her to be more serious. How painful.
Secretly sighed, Qiao An couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity for Nokmis tremblingly, and almost wanted to cancel the punishment and cast a spell to change her back to her original appearance.
However, she finally restrained this very unwise idea-this is not what a beholder noble should do.
With a wave of his eyes, Qiao Ann sent Nokomis back to the pit to continue working, pretending to be ignorant of her under-reporting of output, even if it was the utmost tolerance.
During the inspection of the mining area, Qiao An found that Lavin lived up to his entrustment. Various rules and regulations were in place. Safety measures, work and rest schedules, and food supplies were well organized, except for occasional clever
ghost eyes
. He can be called a model housekeeper.
After the inspection, Joan fell into a long period of contemplation comparing the two types of weirdness, beholder and mind-separating, and his personal life experience in Udinese and Odius.
From the comparison results, in addition to individual strength, beholders are stronger than mind-severs, in other aspects, including average intelligence and knowledge level, urban construction, public services, solidarity and cooperation, scientific research culture, humanistic thinking, and even the exploitation of slaves. China is in a backward position across the board.
You can find many shortcomings in the social form of the Devil, but you have to admit that it has a high degree of comprehensive civilization and has a comprehensive and effective public order. Like a tightly-fitted and stable machine, there may be good in the general direction. Evil-oriented issues, but the details are impeccable.
In contrast, the social form of beholders is too extensive. Except for the most basic order, the superstructure of social life is very imperfect, and even the methods of squeezing slaves are so primitive and rude, without considering the cost-effectiveness and sustainable development. Of course, issues such as maximizing efficiency are far less reliable than the enslavement system calculated by a large number of experts.
As a slave, living in Oedis is indeed very hard, but you will have a clear expectation of your own future, at least you can understand it. In Udinese, nothing is guaranteed. The future depends entirely on women. The host's moody madness.
Joan returned to Udinese from Oedius, and this sudden fall from a well-ordered and civilized city to the "barren land" felt particularly strong.
It stands to reason that, according to her temperament, she should prefer to live in Oedis, and appreciate the devil who respects reason and helps fellow citizens.
However, the facts are so illogical. The near-perfect mind-seed society is indeed very good, but she couldn’t fall in love with that kind of life from the bottom of her heart. On the contrary, she has a deeper feeling for her beholder identity and is more motivated to change things. Udinese, make it better.
why is that?
Qiao An himself could not give a reasonable explanation. He only felt that Erdis was an almost perfect closed system. It didn’t matter whether he intervened or not. The mind-savers could confide their concerns to their compatriots, and they never lacked listening and understanding. Need and disdain to pay attention to the evaluation of them by outsiders.
And Udinese, every beholder is a drifting island, and the pain overflowing from their souls converges into the ocean that carries them, but each island cannot understand the pain of other islands.
If there is no outsider himself, who else can understand and describe the pain and madness of beholders, and who can sympathize with them?
Although they will regard all sympathy from good intentions as persecution with bad intentions.
Comparing the beholders and the mind-severs, Qiao An couldn't help but have some weird ideas:
The main sign that shows our existence—or makes people realize that they are alive—is not happiness, but trouble.
If calculated by monetary gains and losses, equal amounts of happiness and troubles cannot cancel each other out. The latter’s effect on a healthy soul is usually greater than the former. Perhaps this is the reason why literati and scholars throughout the ages have admired tragedy over comedy. Where.
Just when Qiao An was thinking about it, butler Lawen flew over in a panic, her face also lost her usual calmness.
"Master Mitra! Something has happened!"
"Don't panic, speak slowly, what's the matter?" Qiao An turned to look at the housekeeper.
"The Prime Minister is here!"
"The Prime Minister?" Qiao An was startled slightly, and asked the housekeeper in a low voice: "You mean, Lord Saoirse has come to my territory?"
"That's right! The Prime Minister is at the gate of the mine, saying that he was passing by here and wanted to talk to you..." Lavin wiped a cold sweat, "I don't think the Prime Minister is really so leisurely, right? I'm afraid this time. Come prepared!"
Qiao An nodded in sympathy, and first extracted a piece of "mythical power" to bless "polarized cognition", and was psychologically prepared before taking the housekeeper to meet Udinese's number two character.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don't know which wind brought you here. I am so honored.
Knowing that the other party is likely to have a bad intention, after meeting, Qiao An still has to behave well and make a few polite remarks.
The main eye of the "Eyes of the Elders" smiled slightly, and gently shook the white and slender eye stems, indicating that she did not need to see outside.
"Mitra, I told your steward that I was passing by here, and I stopped by to visit. You guys wouldn't believe it, would you?"
what? Is the Prime Minister so straightforward?
Fortunately, Qiao An had blessed "Polarized Cognition" in advance, and realized that Saoirsa had thrown an unexpected problem, and immediately activated the augmentation mode "Mind Theater" to obtain a one-minute timeout on subjective consciousness.
After the "polarized cognition" appears, temporarily increasing the amplitude does not need to maintain the "psychic concentration", and there will be no psychic brilliance revealed. Qiao An does not need to worry about causing Saoirsa's suspicion.
