Three Towers Game

Chapter 368 Li Weiwei's High-Value Tactics

Inside the office, Wen Xishu clearly sensed that Li Weiwei's gaze was a bit strange.

It was a gaze that seemed to want to devour him; it was the kind of proactive gaze that newbies in karaoke most hoped the hostesses would have.

Only those with such a gaze are worthy of eating the watermelon from the fruit platter on the table.

Li Weiwei was indeed very proactive because she knew all too well that the red house represented the dominant power in a region.

In some cities, a red house is like a king.

In the apocalypse, if you can find a powerful being like Wen Xishu to rely on, you can throw away any dignity. What's more, Wen Xishu has been behaving like a "benevolent person" these days.

Wen Xishu said:
"Yes, that's how it should be, but it's too erotic. I still hope you can maintain that aloof and untainted demeanor you had at the beginning."

Li Weiwei was taken aback.

Wen Xishu said:
"This war is actually a war for talent. HP is a hidden score, but talented people have HP."

"In reality, companies that encourage competition are surprisingly strong before internal conflicts erupt."

"It will be like a walled city; those outside want to get in, but those inside can't leave."

“Ms. Li Weiwei, we cannot let our people leave, do you understand?”

Li Weiwei seemed to understand what Wen Xishu meant.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?" Her gaze turned somewhat cold.

It's not because the enthusiasm has faded, but because they are leveraging their strengths.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Yes, that's it."

"The bosses in Zone A are characterized by checks and balances; the bosses in Zone B are characterized by persistence; and the bosses in Zone D are characterized by seduction."

"Look, Zone D is the only zone so far that has not experienced any population fluctuations."

"Everyone in Section D must have been captivated by the boss's charm."

"Did you know that there's a type of company culture in reality that's even more terrifying than a wolf-like culture?"

Li Weiwei understood immediately:
"If you're talking about employee loyalty, then in reality... it's more like pyramid schemes?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Yes, unfortunately, we don't have that capability, but we have you, and you can also enhance our employee loyalty."

Li Weiwei said:
"Should I use seduction?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I didn't ask you to sell your body. Your appearance isn't suitable for seduction; that's too low-class."

"Li Weiwei, do you know what your characteristics would be if you were the boss?"

Li Weiwei shook her head; she really didn't know.

Wen Xishu said:
"It is sacred."

"You have a natural... sacred quality that you give to those who are struggling to survive in the apocalypse."

"Your initial appearance was spotless, and you also possessed healing abilities. You looked exquisitely refined and appeared aloof."

"This image is actually a big plus, because many people fall for it, and many people have a servile nature deep down."

"Some people are born with an inferiority complex, thinking, 'She looks so elegant, she's definitely not someone I can reach.'"

"But if, at this time, you are willing to treat them, comfort them, maintain a high profile, and appropriately hint with your words that they are special to you, that they are different from others to you..."

"Then these people will be loyal to you wholeheartedly."

"I need you to do this."

Li Weiwei was somewhat surprised; she had really been figured out, because in her own community, she was exactly like that.

She maintains a noble demeanor, fulfilling the goddess image in many people's hearts, and only needs occasional friendliness to excite these people for a long time.

This is even more effective than direct seduction.

"Do...do I need to do it now?"

"Yes, we're short on time, go ahead. Weiwei, you're very important to me, I believe you can do this well."

Wen Xishu's eyes were sincere, but then he waved his hand, neatly signaling Li Weiwei to leave.

When Li Weiwei left, her face was still a little red, and her mind was filled with the words, "Weiwei, you are very important to me."

These words made Li Weiwei instantly feel that everything was worthwhile.

After Li Weiwei left, Wen Xishu began to think about his next strategy.

The reason he said all this to Li Weiwei today was because he realized that employees actually have a hidden attribute in reality.

This hidden attribute is called loyalty.

Domestic affairs, foreign affairs, and military strategy. If diplomacy is about recruiting people, then domestic affairs can also be used to solidify loyalty.

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game, when you play a certain lord, it is very difficult for the enemy to poach your subordinates through diplomacy when your subordinates' loyalty is above 90%.

Li Weiwei's image can give people a sense of superiority. When a superior becomes approachable, this contrast can be very encouraging to those in subordinate positions.

Leveraging the strengths of employees is also an important part of team management.

……

……

The third day of work began.

While calculating, Li Weiwei would occasionally glance at Wen Xishu. How powerful were Wen Xishu's five senses? Moreover, this time he was also empowered by the power of the Three Phases.

He knew, of course, that Li Weiwei was watching him.

However, he did not respond. What Li Weiwei did to the employees was what Wen Xishu did to Li Weiwei.

Wen Xishu only pretended to occasionally glance at Li Weiwei, and then gave her an encouraging look.

It must be said that on the third day, Wen Xishu noticed something: the overall DR value of everyone rose from 105 points to 130 points. Of course, this is the average.

It can only be said that people's tolerance for Li Weiwei's encouragement and hints varies.

Gao Lele, who already had 150 DR points, didn't see much change; her DR points simply increased to 155.

Gao Lele's health points have not been restored; he has the lowest health points among all the players.

But the increase in dr value made Gao Lele extremely excited.

Wen Xishu observed all of this and became certain of one thing—

The dr value represents work status; the higher the dr value, the more proactive the worker is.

When the dr value is high enough, the loss of health points becomes negligible. The pain of health point depletion is no longer felt.

In the internal affairs section, Wen Xishu can see stimulants, which are used to increase DR value.

He felt a little strange.

"Something's not right. It seems like HP is hard to increase, but DR is too easy to increase, isn't it?"

“I used Shen Changfeng as a test subject. After Shen Changfeng worked overtime, his DR value increased.”

"Yesterday, in order to prepare for the expedition to Area A, I asked everyone to work overtime. After everyone worked overtime, the DR value also increased, with the average value rising to 105."

"Today, I arranged for Li Weiwei to encourage everyone, and surprisingly, everyone's DR (dr.) even increased."

"DR is not loyalty. Loyalty is hidden data that you need to manage yourself."

"But I have to say, when your DR is high, people won't think about betraying you."

"This is a good thing, but it seems that the dr value is too easy to increase at present."

"Given that it's so easy to improve..."

"The items in the internal affairs shop are also used to increase DR value."

This is very strange. It's like you're in a place full of water sources, and then you find that the most popular item sold in the nearby convenience store is water.

Wen Xishu noticed something was amiss.

"The reason why people in Area A can work overtime like crazy must be because of the high DR value, as well as various strategies... and the consumption of items."

"Tang Zhe and I have both figured out one thing: Area A has triggered a rule that we hadn't noticed."

"I'm afraid that the reason Area A attacked Area C on the first day was because they didn't want us to trigger this rule."

"This rule might be related to overtime work?"

"We can now conclude that working overtime to a certain extent can lead to certain rules that benefit those who work overtime." "Continuous campaigns, from initially reducing the opponent's score by 5.8 points to reducing it by 30 points, show that rules that benefit the attackers can be obtained."

"So, when you show a certain tendency..."

"In fact, it is very likely that a certain favorable rule will trigger this tendency."

"Everyone is working overtime now, and the result of this is an increase in DR value."

"But if the DR value keeps increasing, then the product should not have any DR value increase."

"Therefore, the DR value will definitely decrease, and the reason for the decrease is most likely due to overtime work!"

Wen Xishu felt that she had found an interesting place.

He concluded that the DR value would definitely drop precipitously in the later stages. Otherwise, all the settings would seem unreasonable.

If games could be compared to reality... In reality, there are indeed some people who, initially, see a huge goal to strive for, and are motivated by working overtime.

But what if you keep working overtime? This motivation will fade, and over time, you might even develop an aversion to your job.

This aversion can further evolve into an aversion to life itself, and an aversion to existence.

That's reality. In reality, there's no such thing as working overtime more and more, or a situation where you simply can't work enough.

Unless his boss is Pei Qian.

Therefore, Wen Xishu can be certain that the game's cycle is thirty days...

Such a long cycle, such tedious work, and overtime definitely reduces one's life points...

All of this is enough to suggest the role of the dr value.

"If my preference is for everyone to have no overtime, or only very minimal overtime, so that the DR value keeps increasing..."

"So what will my reward be?"

Wen Xishu already has a clear direction.

……

……

into the night.

Six p.m.

This is after get off work. Wen Xishu's earnings for today are the most normal since he wasn't sent out on a mission: 28 + 2, 30 points.

After deducting 29 points for population maintenance, Wenxishu's team currently has 8.6 points remaining.

All these scores were in Wen Xishu's hands. No one objected; after all, if they hadn't worked overtime yesterday, they would have died.

Wen Xishu also promised that any extra points would be taken from the masses and used for the masses.

If it were any other boss, they would probably keep those points to themselves.

After all, as long as HP is greater than 0, one can survive. Given this prerequisite, everyone guessed that the person with the highest score would be the ultimate winner and be hired by Three Towers Corporation.

However, Yuki and Tang Zhe did not think so.

Although he didn't think so, Wen Xishu didn't explain.

He is pleased that people have a certain degree of reverence for grades.

This is how he can better win people's hearts.

After the workday ended, Shen Changfeng, Gao Lele, and others sent overtime applications.

Wen Xishu refuted them one by one:

"All voluntary overtime requests will be rejected. Our company does not allow employees to work overtime. Let's start by fighting against involution. We will not allow overtime unless we are attacked by a hostile group.

"The lives and health of our employees are paramount. Please cherish your lives and don't let your scores be lower than others, only to lose your life in the process."

Everyone who submitted an overtime application received this reply.

It must be said that this reply was very accurate.

Because it's easy for everyone to think of one thing...

Even if I work overtime now, my scores still can't compare to those of people from other companies.

So if the score-based theory holds true, then I, as someone who is neither as talented as the other person nor as hardworking...

If my score can't surpass theirs, then what's the point of me even trying?

Subsequently, Wen Xishu assigned 3.6 points to Li Weiwei.

Li Weiwei then shared this news with others, stating that she would distribute her points to those willing to stay and work hard with the company.

At the same time, Li Weiwei is also very good at that kind of thing... which can be called the "playboy routine".

Everyone knows that Li Weiwei seems to have connections with many employees, but everyone feels that they are the most special one.

Just like Turtel, after Li Weiwei made her move yesterday, Turtel was thinking to himself:

“The things Weiwei said to me must have been things she had never said to anyone else.”

"Those points are all for me, I absolutely cannot leave."

There are actually quite a few people who think this way.

3.6 points, that's a score that requires 40 HP to achieve.

It's like he's half-dead.

Everyone felt they were special, so no one wanted to leave. They all wanted to escape with their lives.

……

……

2 a.m. the next day.

The third day of fighting has ended.

The team scores for the second day were announced.

Area A: A total of 74 points were obtained. After deducting additional expenses and population expenditures, 2 points remain (48 points accumulated over three days).

Upon seeing this, Wen Xishu became alert. How could the accumulated points over three days be only 48? It should be noted that Area A accumulated 46 points over two days.

What's the situation in Area A? Have they not deployed any troops?

First of all, not participating in the expedition means that Area A can save 20 points.

But under these circumstances, how come Area A only accumulated two points?

This doesn't make sense; Area A must have purchased something extravagant.

Area B: Company B has gone bankrupt after failing to earn 30 points.

In order to defeat the main attacker of Company B, Company A unlocked additional privileges.

Zone C: A total of 30 points were obtained. After deducting population expenditure, 1 point remains (8.6 points accumulated over three days).
Area D: A total of 39 points were obtained. After deducting population expenditure, 9 points remain (31 points accumulated over three days).

Regarding this score, Tang Zhe said:
“There might be a decisive battle between Zone D and Zone A, but it’s hard to say. If I were a shrewd boss like the one in Zone D, I would think that Zone C is more worthy of our attention.”

"Boss Wen, it's a three-way standoff now."

Wen Xishu nodded.

It really is a three-way standoff. It's foreseeable that, since neither Wen Xishu's team nor Lorenzo's team from District D will be affected, as they are not going to participate in the expedition.

But the more this was the case, the more Wen Xishu felt something was wrong.

“Bareland originally had 14 people. Of those 14, 13 were employees. Each person’s limit is 4 points, so the limit is 2 + 13 x 4, which should be 54 points.”

“54分去掉14分人口维护，是40分，减去30分出征效果，还能剩10分才对。而且原本他们还有13分的积累。”

"In other words, their population is severely insufficient, resulting in 2+n*4+13<31+n."

"Their population can only be a maximum of 5 people. In other words, Area A absorbed at least 9 people?"

"Of course, that's not entirely accurate either. People might have died in Zone B, but in any case, the population of Zone A must be over 40 now."

"With this kind of population, if Area A were to erupt, the score would be terrifying."

"It's even possible to strike at two groups simultaneously."
