Lucifer sacrificed too much for world peace

Everyone began to fill in the character cards seriously under the guidance of Lucifer, and then directly experienced it after getting a general understanding of the rules.

Because Lucifer said: "For the time being, only I know the rules. What you need now is the experience process. If you are not sure, you can ask me, and I will always guide you."

So everyone got to know the rules a little bit, and it was so tough. After more than an hour, Lucifer called a timeout to let everyone take a break.

They are all a little unsatisfied.

Lucifer looked at their reactions and asked, "How?"

Alexandre Dumas thought about it for a while, and said firmly: "It's very interesting!"

This trial called "running the group" revealed an unusual atmosphere from the very beginning.

You actually have to write your own character settings!For example, "Heretic Killer" and "Great Tester" both default to you as a certain identity, and this identity itself does not have any personality settings... But running groups are different, they can set a personality that is similar to their own. A completely different character card, and then set the background for this character, as if there is such a person in the world.

In the end, when they were conducting the trial, they could not destroy their own character design. They knew the main plot, but what happened in the middle was unknown, which felt really novel.

"That, Mr. Sage." Alexandre Dumas thought for a while and confirmed, "Did the plot you mentioned in the middle of the trial be written long ago?"

"Half and half." Lucifer said, "The general plot is fixed, but your actions are unknown, so you have to complete this plot based on your actions and words... It is a test of your story-making ability."

Dumas' eyes lit up immediately: "I want to be a guide!"

It feels great!

Lucifer certainly wouldn't refuse, after all, he didn't want to just play with them here every day without doing anything: "Yes, but you must remember the rules clearly."

"No problem." Alexandre Dumas said confidently, "I'm the best at reciting things!"

Members of several other literary groups also spoke highly of this "running group".

They have a unified childhood dream, which is to become the brave described in the epic, go out of the city where they were born, see the scenery along the way, and meet more interesting people.

When they grow up, they know that it is impossible to become a brave man. It is okay to travel far and see, but it is also difficult to make up their minds.

Later, the literature group was established, and they didn't know what to write at first, so they embellished and wrote out the dreams they had when they were young.

Later, it was this running group.

After all, when you write a novel, you start by yourself. Even if there is no outline at the beginning, you know what will happen next when you write it, so there are no surprises at all.But the running group is different. Although I can control what the characters say and do, the consequences are all under the control of the "guide". This part is actually unknown, but it can strengthen their sense of substitution. , because the "characters" who are really in this situation should also not know the future.

They seem to have really become another person, creating another person's life, and satisfying their own regrets by the way.

"It's a good idea to treat the character you created as a real person." Lucifer affirmed their impression after playing, "You should keep this character card well. When you encounter other suitable scripts, you may be able to repeat it. use."

Everyone was immediately surprised.

Are the original characters reusable?

In this case, it feels as if the life of the character is still going on, and the end of his life is still undecided, full of unknowns and changes.

This made everyone cherish the characters they created even more.

"Then, when you're all rested, we'll continue—"

Before Lucifer finished speaking, he saw Carnegie walking down from the second floor carrying a box.

"Master Sage!" David Carnegie strode forward enthusiastically, "It's done!"

Lucifer was a little confused for a moment.

What was done?

He stuffed too many things to David Carnegie, such as canning line glass improvement... Since Da Vinci was in charge of these things, he had long since given up on following up the progress, but Carnegie suddenly said this He said it was done, but he really didn't know which one he was referring to.

"I'm sorry, I'll leave for a while, you can do what you want." Lucifer hurriedly left the corner of the literature group and met David Carnegie: "Which one are you talking about?"

Carnegie smiled, put the box in his hand on the table, and opened it.

I saw several things inside.

The first thing that caught Lucifer's eyes was the cup placed in the middle, protected by a pile of shockproof cups.

"...This is a glass, isn't it? The manufacturing process has finally been improved?" Lucifer felt deeply that it was not easy.

It’s not that it’s not easy to improve, it’s that Da Vinci didn’t have the difficulty of releasing other people’s pigeons... It’s said that in this world where God’s punishment is always there, why do some people have procrastination...

Carnegie looked very excited: "Yeah, in this way, similar to this kind of cup, as long as the model is fixed, there is no need for workers to blow it with their mouths. You probably don't know, our most skilled glass worker, Uncle Tom, his body It's really not working, and we can't bear to let him continue to work in such a high-heat environment. Now Uncle Tom just needs to help guide a group of students, and the rest can be handed over to the machine made by Mr. Da Vinci for the time being. "

Glass blowing is a highly skilled job, and workers will have shortened necks, enlarged chest muscles, and a series of sequelae due to long-term glass blowing.

Although Da Vinci's attention has been diverted for more complex shapes, there is no machine to replace them, but this kind of glass can now be produced in large quantities, which is more efficient than manual blowing. It is more than twice as high.

Carnegie also sighed when he mentioned the glass workers, saying that they had lightened their burden.

"Before, many people wanted to resign and change jobs because of their health, but because the glass factory couldn't do without people, they stayed and continued to help." Carnegie said, "Now, people who want to leave can also change jobs. Work with better health, take a good rest... The high temperature environment is really not suitable for health. Instead, I have to train the people left on how to operate the machine."

Lucifer asked: "They are no longer working in the glass factory, where will they go?"

Aren't these people very worried about losing their jobs? The church has been talking about this for so long, but it seems that they resigned quite readily.

"Ah, I asked," Carnegie said. "They want to work on the coffee farm over there with Galileo."

"..." Lucifer was silent for a while, "Is there a shortage of people over there?"

"It's quite lacking. From picking coffee, people have to be added in every link, because the orders suddenly increased." Carnegie said with a smile, "Even Galileo has spread out the coffee roasting method according to your instructions, but at present The largest coffee producing area is the Garden of Eden.”

Originally, coffee was used as a refreshing but addictive medicinal material. Although it has a basic market, it is actually not very popular if you want to calculate the sales volume, because there are only so many people who need to stay up late and refresh yourself. Going to bed early and waking up early, of course, I will not try the coffee that I have known for a long time.

But now the situation has changed. The charming and mysterious aroma of roasted coffee makes people who don’t need to stay up all night can’t help being curious and want to try it.

So far, except for honey water, sugar water, etc., there has never been a drink with such a wonderful taste. Everyone just boils something in the water as a drink, and if they are not careful, it will be boiled into soup.

Although the coffee is bitter, it is also very fragrant!Just this point alone, there are several streets of drinks that you can’t get close to and can’t smell. It’s a food that is very suitable for promotion.

Some people even claim that this may be a gift from God to mankind, because it tells people that only by enduring the initial suffering can they taste the final sweetness... Lucifer was taken aback for a while.

"That's it. Now besides being used as a refreshing medicine, coffee has become a regular drink, and the sales volume has increased all of a sudden. If this is the case, the coffee garden will also need to be expanded. Naturally, it will also need human help, but it will provide you with a new Work...Speaking of it, it shouldn't be a few days before someone invents a machine that automatically plants trees and harvests fruits, right?"

Lucifer immediately said: "No, not so fast, at least in a few hundred years."

Even in modern times, most of the fruit picking is still manual. Farming is more regular and easy to control, so it is convenient to promote automatic mechanization, and manual labor will not be replaced in the short term.

Carnegie was instantly relieved.

He also didn't want people who resigned from him to find a good job and then lose their jobs within a few days... That would be very detrimental to Mr. Sage.

Putting down the glass, Carnegie took out another can: "Take a look, is this okay?"

Lucifer took it over and took a look, and found that it was very close to modern tuna cans, but they didn't know whether it was because the technology was not up to the mark or they didn't think of this problem. There was no pull ring on it, and it was a bit difficult to open.

This made Lucifer think of a certain Italian army during World War II. Because they couldn't open the cans, they surrendered...

Lucifer said tactfully: "I remember that there was a tab on the can I gave you..."

Carnegie said with a dry smile: "Well, I don't know why it is easy to break, so we are improving."

"Then the can has to be cut open with a knife?"

"No, no, it's so easy to cut, so Warner in our factory invented a special can opener, this is it." Carnegie showed Lucifer, "If you buy more than 5 cans, you will get a can opener , less than this amount can only be bought separately..."

Lucifer: "..."

As expected of a businessman!I have learned how to sell in bundles, and I also know how to use small gifts to stimulate the desire to buy, so that everyone feels that they have earned money!

"Master Sage, would you like to try the canned food now?" Carnegie asked.

Lucifer hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but what kind of canned food is this?"

"Canned bacon." Carnegie took the can opener and began to open the can. "My grandmother's secret recipe, everyone agrees after eating it!"
