There are board games in the main world, but there has never been a professional chess and card room. Even in the gambling industry, the entry level requirements for board games are too high and cannot meet the requirements of fast in and out.
Board games are a natural aristocratic toy in the main world, and they are only suitable for young people, because once they reach adulthood, it is difficult to find an opponent who can calm down and play for hours.
But it is different in the Phoenix Kingdom. The realization of universal education has turned board games into popular games that anyone can learn how to play if they are willing to understand them. Extremely cheap electric lighting also allows everyone to have time to play these things without delaying production. Create a specialized product category for nothing.
...Yes, board games in the main world cannot be called commodities at all. Board games are not necessities in production and life. They are purely entertainment projects. Most of them are made by prodigal sons who hire senior craftsmen themselves, and they are not very good at it. For trading purposes, the price is high and the quality is not necessarily that good.
Although Carter was born in a family of high-ranking officials, he himself was not yet at a point where he could take a closer look and notice the overall differences in the economic system. However, in the ubiquitous board games, he saw another thing - productivity, which was mentioned by Teacher Wang Qi on the way. of words.
Think about it carefully, even if the main world has the same cultural environment, can so many craftsmen produce so many board games?
There is almost no need to discuss the answer. The proportion of agricultural population alone eliminates all possibilities.
Carter was standing near the guests thinking about something, when someone pushed the door open and came in from the chess and card room, it was one of his own men.
"Master, I have something to do with you at school."
Black Forest School third graders and above are not allowed to go out at night. They only need to sign an outing declaration when leaving the school gate. This is not the first time for them to go out this month, and this is the first time they have encountered someone looking for someone at night.
"Do you know anything?"
"They said there were a few military vehicles at the school gate. I didn't know they were looking for you."
Carter has nothing to worry about. Everyone has discussed that if they wanted to harm them, they would have done it long ago. There is no need to really put them into the academy.
Gathering the friends and temporarily sealing up their chess game, a group of people went to the door to take a taxi back.
It is really convenient to take a taxi in the Phoenix Kingdom, especially since there are some restaurants and hotels in the nk area, which attracts some vans to do business, and you can go down the mountain at any time.
Without any entourage, a group of students chartered two cars to go back. It took ten minutes and the one-way bicycle cost was only 50 cents.
As soon as I entered the school, I was blocked by the instructor, whose main job was to deliver documents and notices.
Several people emerged from the guard lounge, and they were indeed from the army.
"Would you please come with us?"
"Uh, did we commit a crime?"
"No, it's about your compatriots. We didn't get any instructions when we went out, so we can't comment on the specific situation."
The students were confused, but decided to go and have a look.
The destination is the Phoenix City East Headquarters. This is the first time for students to come here, and naturally it is also the first time to see Phoenix City at night. Unfortunately, the military zone is still a few kilometers away from the rumored Wangting Tree, and only a little light in the city at night is enough. Can't see clearly.
After getting off the bus, an officer came to hand them over, led them into a relatively large building, and explained the situation.
"A few days ago, we fought with the demons who were preparing to withdraw to the demon world and rescued some people from the main world. However, they refused to cooperate in the step of registering information, saying that we seduced them into selling their souls. We tried several times, I have to ask you to help.”
"..." Everyone listened to the introduction, looked at the big tail of the sharp-edged officer in front of them, and looked up at the back of the neck of the officer who was about the same height as an ordinary house. They felt that it was too normal to be misunderstood as a demon.
"Didn't the Night Clan officer try it?"
"I tried it, but it didn't work."
Indeed, although the students had seen several Night Clan before they were sent to school, it was only when they arrived at school that they found out that the Night Clan generally had horns on their foreheads, and only the king and queen did not. In this way, even though their body shape and skin color were the same as those of the human race, Without a tail, for people from the main world who have never seen a foreign race, they still cannot be called multi-faceted and kind.
After introducing the situation, we walked down a corridor and arrived at a place like a duty room, where there was also a sharp-edged officer.
After standing up and saluting, the Sharp Blade officer sat down and was very friendly. He introduced the building structure to them at the table and discussed what to do:
"Ours is a military prison here. It is generally used to punish thorns in the army. Occasionally, we will also imprison single-digit cross-border personnel and intermediate demons.
The people are now placed in the second area. You decide whether to meet together or mediate alone. If you choose to meet together, they will be in the second indoor activity area or the outdoor ventilation area. If you meet alone, I will arrange several interrogation rooms for you. "
The students were very cowardly, so Qi Mimi discussed it in her native dialect and then made a decision: "We want to meet together first. If there are any particularly uncooperative ones, we can arrange an interrogation room for us."
Prisons are a very representative type of facility. People come here, so it would be a pity not to take a closer look.
The second indoor activity area covers an area of almost 600 square meters. There are only two pillars in the space. The pillars and the visible parts of the walls are protected by metal. The floor looks like stone slabs, but the sound is not right when you step on it. There may be something underneath. Explosion-proof treatment.
This large area of metal application once again made the students feel a little shocked. It is really luxurious. It is worthy of being a place where a kilogram of crude steel can only be sold for one yuan.
The cell where the person the students want to see lives faces activity area No. 2. The first and second floors in front of the entrance and on the right are cells. There is a large enough hollow metal door on the left to see the restaurant next door. There is also a door, but because it is far away and there is no light, I don’t know what it is for.
In one month at the academy, students have learned how to deal with them, and if asked directly, tactfulness is not the way to deal with them here.
"Where does that lead to?"
"Wash the bathroom and work area."
"Work?"
"Yes, we have a reform-through-labor section just like ordinary prisons to prevent them from having excessive energy. But don't worry, these people are only temporarily placed here and there is no reform-through-labor."
Re-education through labor... Prisoners are also used in the main world, but I don't know if there is any difference.
There was no chance to ask this question for the time being. As the metal door next to it was opened, people were already coming out one after another.
They should have been frightened a lot, their eyes were wandering, and they looked at everything with fear, including the students.
As more and more people came out of the cells, their performances were similar, and the students became a little less confident.
"These are all Ladu people, right? If they don't believe our appearance, will our identity be useful?"
"Try it, we can't keep them here forever."
Afterwards, the students and the rescued party had a "friendly" exchange.
This kind of friendship is one-sided. No matter what the students say, the other party doesn't believe it anyway, even if they show the emblem of the Fountain of Youth Academy, they will think it is a conspiracy of the demons. Some even think that they are under an illusion and are unwilling to Sign anything literal.
】
After half an hour of tossing, a group of exchange students were numb and could only temporarily evacuate and discuss alternatives with the prison authorities.
"Is it possible that you let them out first and let them feel more relaxed before signing the documents?"
The officer shook his head and took out a piece of paper from the drawer: "This is the minimum requirement for the management of overseas personnel. Without it, no one is allowed to enter our country."
The students took a look and saw that they had seen this thing before. It only registered basic information, including name, ethnicity, height, and purpose of entry. After they were sent to school, they signed a lot of things. In addition to basic information, they also signed non-criminal declarations, practical technical confidentiality and other things.
The students had some complaints about the rescued fellow villagers, but Didi Gugu still discussed and found a solution and asked the officers from time to time.
The night was not long enough, so we negotiated for them to be sent back to school, and then picked up again after class the next day to continue. We tried to negotiate with the rescued people again, but still no progress was made.
As a last resort, they came up with a bad idea that they had discussed.
"Is it possible to temporarily allocate a piece of wasteland to them in your country... We can pay to rent the land. After they have lived a normal life outside for a while and relaxed, can we sign this?"
Unfortunately, the soldiers have no reasonable intentions at all: "We are not doing charity, and we will not protect foreigners who do not cooperate with our country's rules. If you can't convince them tomorrow, they will be deported. You can provide suggestions for deportation targets." .Or transfer him to a regular prison and let him out when he figures it out."
