Chapter 2030 Vicious Methods!

"Why don't you go?"

Blazer handed the clothes hanger along with the [Seed of Green Nature] to Greenland.

"Why are you embarrassed now that you've handed it to me? Let me tell you, there's a woman in here too."

Blazer didn't speak, but the expression on his face said it all; he didn't see Greenland as an ordinary woman.

The situation of feeling embarrassed is relative. At least Greenland is not someone who would feel embarrassed or shy in front of him. She might even tease him in return, so he naturally wouldn't feel ashamed.

“My answer is no.” Greenland crossed her arms. She really didn’t care; it was just a simple handover. But she was more interested in seeing Blaise deliver it—that kind of interesting situation.

However, if she said that, Blazer would definitely not let her succeed, so she had to start persuading Blazer with serious words.

"You are the organizer of the event, the King of Asgard. It is your duty to reward those who have made contributions. How can you show your appreciation if you don't personally deliver the gifts? Do you think that as long as the money is paid, all other procedures can be skipped?"

“This…” Blazer knew that Greenland was only saying this to get him to deliver the highly revealing piece of equipment, but he had to admit that what Greenland said was very important.

He knew that these outsiders, who were technically called "corporate slaves," weren't particularly interested in the compensation he offered for their activities. Not only were the prime shop locations not something they had fought for themselves, but the other compensation wasn't what they needed either.

Even rest itself is not what they want. They probably don't even know what they really want. They drift along, living numbly and wasting time.

This is what it means to be a corporate slave.

Therefore, the only thing Blazer could think of that could bring them any "happiness" was probably "sincerity".

“What you said makes sense. Even during the activities, those people from other places didn’t stay happy for very long. I have to think of other ways.”

"Other ways? It's not that I'm underestimating you, but what else can you do besides sincere gratitude? To be honest, office workers are very resistant to sincere gratitude."

Greenland wasn't underestimating Blazer, but rather worried that Blazer's sincerity would be wasted.

When faced with an NPC's gratitude, most people will simply say "SKIP," meaning "Hurry up and give me the reward, don't waste time with words," or similar responses.

"No, I organized some lottery events, deliberately making the probability of winning good prizes very low, and rigged it to make them feel lucky to win a big prize. Then I hired some orcs to watch them marvel and envy."

"The results are quite good. Even strangers with lifeless eyes will unconsciously smile when they hear others' envious voices or when they draw something good."

"Terrible, so terrifying! The key is that it seems to actually work!" Greenland took a step back in terror, as if Blaze, with his sunny smile, were some kind of prehistoric beast.

Why do mindless advertising slogans like "Log in to get 100 free draws," "Super high drop rate," "5 treasures in 10 draws," and "Miracle in a single draw" still appear even a hundred years later? Because this tactic is genuinely effective.

Even knowing it's a terrible game, people will still download it out of boredom and to kill time, and then use up all the free lottery tickets.

If, at this time, many people happen to be complaining about the low drop rate of rare items in a bad game, and you happen to get a miracle in a single pull or a lot of gold in a ten-pull, anyone would feel smug. Psychologically speaking, this is the instinctive human impulse to want to be superior to others and gain pleasure from it; commonly known as showing off.

At this moment, they are trapped by the trashy game, and in order to enjoy the pleasure of showing off again, they keep investing their energy and resources.

If this weren't a bad game, but a really popular one, the thrill would be doubled.

The "office worker" is actually a type of "tsundere" (a person who is both arrogant and aloof). They are indeed tired and numb, but it's not to the point of being a physical illness. It's more like they deliberately appear indifferent, deliberately listless, and deliberately uninterested in anything.

At times like these, if someone enthusiastically recommends something to relieve stress and find some joy that is absent in modern society, such as a virtual stealth game, office workers will be extremely resistant.

They've had enough of being bossed around and told what to do. Even if they eventually experience it and feel genuine joy, they'll deliberately act unhappy and uninterested, as if they're nitpicking.

So no matter how wonderful the world is, the overworked will never admit that they find it interesting or fun. Blaze, on the other hand, uses a despicable method like lotteries, which don't bring immediate joy but can subtly corrupt people's minds.

Lotteries are the quickest way to make people feel superior, and Blazer not only plays the lottery game, but also orchestrates and hypes it up, elevating the joy that office workers experience from lotteries.

"It's like secretly and subtly increasing your sensitivity and accumulating happiness when facing someone who is pretending to be indifferent, and then suddenly launching an unexpected attack, releasing all the accumulated happiness in one go, and then being unable to leave them!"

"Me? Did I do something so vulgar? Don't insult my reputation!" Blazer protested loudly, as if Greenland was making it sound like he had done something lewd.

Greenland, however, was completely deaf to the warnings, as if he had entered into some kind of dramatic confrontation, displaying an expression that seemed to say, "Although my body has lost, my spirit has not."

"But your method of secretly increasing the odds of winning the lottery will soon make us resistant and bored. It may sound like I'm being a masochist to say this, but the excitement of the lottery comes from the thrill of winning and losing, laughing and crying, with limited resources!"

“That’s right, being a perpetual European champion is just boring.” Greenland said, and then suddenly began to hurl a vicious curse.

"Why are you putting yourself in the shoes of the overworked and alienated? Aren't you on my side?" Blazer scratched the back of his head helplessly. Greenland's thinking was truly unpredictable.

"Of course I've considered that, and having good luck all the time seems too unrealistic, so..."

Blazer revealed a bright, innocent smile, which Greenland found terrifying.

"I will offer them a chance to draw 100 times when they get used to their good luck, and then adjust the probability of winning to a normal level."

"I really hope that the stranger won't get carried away or lose his temper and use all the points he had saved for the final auction of shops in the prime area on the lottery."

"Of course, I don't want to see them use up all their points and then trick others into using up all their points as well. If that happens, they'll have to complete the raid missions twice as hard and they'll be especially grateful for the points I sincerely offered as thanks."

"You're a demon!"
