Three Towers Game

Chapter 374 Lorenzo's Easy Win
Three Towers Company.

Unknown area.

"That Yun Xinghe, shouldn't we consider giving him some help?" Gui San, dressed in a suit but also wearing a black and gold cloak, said.

Gui San was asking Gui Er, one of the company's two main leaders.

Gui Er shook his head and said:
"The purpose of this interview is to screen out who is truly suitable to be a colleague, who is genuinely capable, and who is just pretending to be capable because they rely on certain privileges."

"Yun Xinghe has some potential, but it can still be classified as—garbage."

"I'm not interested in trash, and neither is Lord Qilin."

Gui San nodded:
"I understand. So, shall the game proceed as normal?"

"Wen Xishu's performance was quite good; his diplomatic skills were a turning point."

"The game should be ending soon, right?"

Gui Er shook his head:

"Even trash has its potential. The biggest use of trash is to disgust people. If Wen Xishu can't get past this hurdle, then he's trash too."

"The game isn't over yet. Besides, there's still one more event in the first week."

Gui San shrugs:

"Okay, I'm looking forward to what happens next. By the way, what should we do about the pregnant woman who was teleported away?"

Gui Er remained silent for a while:

“This is a world of obsession. She doesn’t belong here. Let her go back. Otherwise, her obsession with losing her child might interfere with our work.”

"We cannot rule out the possibility that she is also a creator of major obsessions."

Gui San said no more and turned to leave.

……

……

The game is definitely not over yet.

In Zone D, Lorenzo certainly didn't completely concede defeat.

For him, the game was only in its sixth day.

Area A has not truly perished; some rules have not yet been established.

Lorenzo felt the situation was unfavorable and he was about to lose, but he thought this was the best part of the game.

Are you laughing?

D02 was puzzled; in his opinion, the boss should be very worried right now.

Lorenzo said:
"Yun Xinghe is a madman."

"His team will experience a massive... reduction in personnel early this morning."

"Admittedly, there's a high probability that the population of Area A will migrate to Area C. Once they leave, Yun Xinghe's team won't be able to compete with us."

"Theoretically, we can't beat Wen Xishu's C District, after all, the C District has a large population."

"Don't forget one thing... Yun Xinghe has over eighty points in his hands."

D02 seemed to have an epiphany.

"Sir, are you saying—he's going to give up entirely?"

Lorenzo nodded:

"Of course, Wen Xishu used the diplomatic strategy of 'if you don't help me, I'll surrender to the enemy' to force us to help him."

"The core of this strategy is that a lose-lose situation is better than a lose-lose situation."

"That's the fun of the game, Yun Xinghe, don't let me down."

……

……

It was 2 a.m. on the sixth day.

It's time to release the scores on the leaderboard again.

In that instant, Wen Xishu received a number of "job applications".

Yes, diplomatic personnel need to leave their current job before starting a new one.

You can force yourself to leave a job without your boss's consent, but you must first choose a company as a stepping stone.

Furthermore, once selected, if the other company disagrees, then the employee must remain employed by the original company for one more day.

At this moment, Wen Xishu did not immediately look at the list, because there were too many applications and his attention was entirely on the job application.

"40 people..."

Working overtime like crazy, even to the point of exhaustion, can cure all forms of "love of work syndrome."

Clark Kent's name was also prominently featured.

After actually being exploited a few times, I stopped being so competitive and stopped saying that egalitarianism was bad.

They've all behaved themselves.

Wen Xishu wanted to laugh.

You can certainly love your job, but only if it's worthwhile. Although it simulates a real-world company workplace and some real-world elements can be applied, it's fundamentally very different.

Because this is an interview.

As the boss, Yun Xinghe couldn't possibly be without selfishness, and he couldn't possibly not want points.

Therefore, the prerequisite for loving your job is having a boss who pays you a reasonable salary.

If you earn 100,000 and give it to the company, but your boss only gives you 2800, should you love the intense competition and the company?
In reality, there are indeed platforms that are more important than individuals, and many people can only achieve high incomes by choosing the right platform.

But that's not the case in this game.

In this game, there is no such thing as a platform; there is only cooperation, and everyone has value.

But if you can't get the points into your own hands, then all the effort is meaningless.

They are not even as good as those who don't work overtime and just relax and enjoy life.

After realizing this, almost everyone in Area A applied to enter Area C.

There are currently 45 people in Zone A, originally there were 47. One person died, and one person was removed from the rules.

40 people resigned.

Only four people remained by Yun Xinghe's side.

Wen Xishu could roughly guess why these four people hadn't left Yun Xinghe.

Yun Xinghe had over 80 points in his hand.

These people thought that if they could move Yun Xinghe at the end and make him think that they were loyal and devoted employees, they might be able to get some points.

It was precisely these few people who prevented Yun Xinghe from becoming a lone commander and ensured that Area A was not truly destroyed.

……

……

Area A.

When Yun Xinghe suddenly received 40 resignation applications...

His anger fueled his desire for a furious revenge against District C.

This method of retaliation was the variable that Lorenzo in District D had been hoping for.

Lorenzo was well aware that if Yun Xinghe had launched an attack on Wen Xishu without regard to the cost before the company went bankrupt... then Wen Xishu would now be facing an insurmountable predicament.

Because of Yun Xinghe's expedition, employees are unable to work during the day, and working overtime will result in the loss of 80% of their points.

Previously, Wen Xishu could force District D to lend him points by having his employees go there to borrow points, thus leveraging diplomatic channels to compel them to do so...

But now, Area A is gone, and the diplomatic situation has changed from a three-way balance of power to a two-way struggle for supremacy.

In other words, Wen Xishu's diplomatic strategy failed.

At this point, if Yun Xinghe launches continuous attacks on Wen Xishu, how will Wen Xishu respond?
It's worth noting that Wenxishu's team only had 10.6 points the day before.

This is the variable that Lorenzo was hoping for.

He hoped Yun Xinghe was a madman.

He was even more insane than Wen Xishu, the kind of madman who wanted to make others suffer if he himself was miserable.

Yun Xinghe... it really is.

In particular, the overwhelming trend of employees jumping ship to Zone C made Yun Xinghe momentarily want to unleash the power of balance to kill Wen Xishu.

But this isn't his territory. He has to play by the rules.

Yun Xinghe's eyes were filled with rage; he wanted revenge, and he had considered one thing...

In terms of diplomatic situation, Wen Xishu has no diplomacy left to speak of.

Diplomacy is only possible when there are third parties or even more parties involved.

If everyone in Area A runs away, how will Wen Xishu deal with his own setback?

Yes, Yun Xinghe's Area A is not yet destroyed, and he can still launch an expedition. At this time, Lorenzo in Area D is also waiting.

However, their tacit understanding did not last long.

A sudden turn of events left both of them stunned.

Area A: A total of 47.5 points were obtained. After deducting population expenditure, 0.5 points remain (cumulative over six days, 83 points).

In Zone C, a total of 111 points were obtained. After deducting population expenditure, 82 points remained (cumulative over six days, 92.6 points).
Zone D scored a total of 62 points. After deducting population expenditure, 32 points remain (cumulative over six days, 43 points).
This result stunned Yun Xinghe in Area A.

Yes, his job-hopping and resignation application caught his attention, and he didn't expect the score list to be so outrageous.

He stared at all of this in astonishment:
"How is this possible? What kind of malfunction is this?"

"How is it possible to achieve this? 111 points in a single day? 111 points!"

This score was terrifying. It caused Yun Xinghe's brain to shut down.

How is this possible?
Yun Xinghe couldn't believe his eyes. Wen Xishu's team had jumped from 10.6 points yesterday to 92.6 points?
What he could think of was for everyone to work overtime, and at full capacity.

In fact, not all employees of Wenxishu worked overtime; one employee was working overtime less than others.

Shen Changfeng.

Shen Changfeng, who was one of the first to work overtime, did not participate in the overtime this time.

Everyone else worked overtime for the full six hours.

This is the ultimate explosive power of a team.

It's important to understand that even in Area A, with its predatory culture and the added stress of injections...

There has never been a situation where all employees worked overtime to the maximum capacity.

Because of insufficient cohesion.

Admittedly, there are people like Zeratan who work overtime like crazy, but not everyone in Area A is a fool.

Many people are unwilling to engage in activities that consume health points.

However, driven by DR values ​​and the stimulation of performance-enhancing drugs, everyone was still desperately trying to contribute points.

Although Zone A only has 80 points left, in reality, after deducting military and domestic expenditures, Zone A should have more than double that score.

It's clear that Area A has indeed been exploited quite a bit.

Even so, Area A has never once produced a score of over 100.

"Have the people in Zone C been brainwashed? This disgusting guy, what happened to not working overtime! What's your stance?"

Yun Xinghe stared in astonishment at the score panel, inwardly cursing Wen Xishu for breaking his promise.

Sometimes, that's just how good people are.

Once you become a good person, some people will think that you should always be a good person.

When bad people do bad things, people feel it's justified.

But if a good person does bad things, then they will be despised.

Wen Xishu's preference for not working overtime has already been established, and at this point...

Wen Xishu's sudden high score made Yun Xinghe feel an urge to angrily scold him.

……

……

In section D, Lorenzo frowned.

D03 stood ramrod straight to the side.

Lorenzo sighed:
I underestimated him.

"If I can recognize the change in the diplomatic situation, how could he not?"

"During the final four competition, he avoided the limelight and consistently used the lowest scores to maintain his image of not working overtime."

"When the three powers were in a state of equilibrium, he used diplomacy to ensure that he would not have to work overtime."

"But we were all wrong."

D03 nodded and said:
"Yes, we were wrong. If there is only one opponent left in the world, then the next thing to do is to show your strength."

"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins; he drew his sword."

"However, sir, he will still be in a very unfavorable situation."

Lorenzo said:
"Tell me about it?"

D03 stated:

"We don't know how many people Sector C has absorbed, but it looks like a large-scale operation. It's definitely no less than thirty people."

"Let's assume that Wen Xishu's team has sixty people."

"Wen Xishu's current score is 92.6 points. If Area A launches an attack..."

"Then Wen Xishu's team will need to earn 60 points tomorrow to cover the population expenses."

"Wen Xishu's team can indeed do it, after all, they have 92.6 points in reserve."

"But what about the day after tomorrow? And the day after that?"

"You should know that this large-scale job-hopping has already created a deep-seated feud between Area A and Area C."

"Wen Xishu worked overtime ahead of schedule and managed to withstand Yun Xinghe's attack, but he can only hold out for one day."

"Because Wenxi Tree has absorbed too many people, if they cannot go to work normally, these people will become a burden."

"Yun Xinghe has eighty points, which means he can launch four expeditions. In fact, even if Wen Xishu doesn't absorb Yun Xinghe's population, he still can't withstand Yun Xinghe's attack."

“Wen Xishu has no diplomatic resources right now. If he wants to let people go... as long as neither we nor Area A approve it, he can't reduce expenses through layoffs…”

"His company will fall into a dead end with constant deaths, and his image as a boss will collapse as a result. And when he works overtime, his points will be stolen, and the points stolen by Yun Xinghe will allow him to keep going into battle."

"If we can't get out of this predicament, Area C is doomed to defeat!"

Lorenzo's eyes lit up; it really was a case of "after the darkest hour comes the dawn."

On the surface, Wen Xishu won, but in reality...

As long as Yun Xinghe in Area A continues his mad dog behavior, he can devour Wen Xishu to death.

Because the Wenxi Tree absorbed too many people...

If Wenxi Tree doesn't absorb these people, and they go to District D, then Wenxi Tree's population expenditure will become 29 points. That would only last for 3 days at most. But Yun Xinghe can launch a four-day expedition.

Therefore, the situation changed very quickly, so quickly that Lorenzo felt that there seemed to be more hope.

Just then, the electronic screen announced the next part of the story.

[Area A has launched an attack on Area C. The attack has been successfully detected. This attack has two attributes: one is public information—all employees in Area C will not be able to earn points for normal work tomorrow and can only earn points through overtime.]

[The second piece of information is hidden. It is not available in areas C and D.]

Yes, it's exactly the same content as before; the hidden information has been cracked.

But even if you knew, it would be meaningless.

In the next few days, as long as Yun Xinghe continues to attack, Wen Xishu's side will collapse and people will die.

Unless... Wen Xishu is prepared to let some people die.

Lorenzo suddenly became very curious about what Wen Xishu would do.

Will they force troop reductions? Or will they simply do what happened in Area B, letting some people die to weather the crisis?

If that's the case... Zone C will undoubtedly lose. Morale, population, and scores will all plummet. What will they have left to rise again?

In the early hours of the seventh day, Lorenzo felt that everything suddenly became clear.

He knew he was about to win.

……

……

Area C.

Wen Xishu watched the large influx of people. Many hadn't considered the consequences; they simply felt that their reserve points were more than enough to withstand the attack on Area A.

Everyone is happy to be back in Zone C, a place where there's no overtime work.

Area C just had overtime work, but everyone's DR value will only be higher.

Wen Xishu had already tested this with Shen Changfeng.

Another problem lay before Wen Xishu.

“Yun Xinghe has no population, and its production capacity can't keep up, so it's bound to lose. But the problem is that it seems to be willing to pay any price. If it keeps attacking you... people will die the next day.”

Tang Zhe looked at Wen Xishu:
"The situation in this game changes every day. Are you going to lay off staff? Or are you going to kill people off?"

Wen Xishu was naturally aware of this situation:

"I will not lay off employees, I will not make them work overtime easily, and I will never let an employee die in my company."

"Actually, it's quite easy to crack."
