Chapter 299: The Queen Game of the Medusas
Elena and Yinhe's first meeting ended successfully with a friendly and harmonious conversation between the two sides.
Elena left a good impression on Yinhe as she wished.
Yinhe was very proud of himself for helping Qige.
The seven pigeons took advantage of the situation and got 6 bottles of powerful magic potions.
Everyone is happy, everyone gains something, and no one loses out.
All good things must come to an end, and even the grandest welcome ceremony must eventually come to an end.
Petra, along with the tipsy Sister Medusa and the increasingly excited fairies, cleaned up the place and everyone dispersed.
Even Qi Ge was a little surprised to see that even though the Medusa sisters' faces were flushed, they could skillfully stack the plates in a row and carry them into the kitchen to wash them.
Shouldn't Sister Medusa be a noble? She was able to do this kind of odd job so skillfully, and even received praise from Petra, who had maxed out her housekeeping skills.
After Qi Ge asked around, he learned from Yin Ying Guo that all the Medusa nuns in the Ying Ye tribe started out as palace maids.
They may not be good at cooking, but serving tea, wiping tables and washing dishes are their expertise!
She actually used Sister Medusa of level 4, stage 3 as a maid!
The Yingye tribe is really luxurious.
Qi Ge imagined what Sister Medusa would look like in a maid outfit and silently gave her a thumbs up in her heart.
Elena watched Yinhe and Ke Ruoke leave reluctantly.
She really wanted to hold Yinhe in her arms while sleeping at night, and whisper some secrets to him to deepen their relationship.
Unfortunately, she could see that Yinhe was still on guard against her. It was too early to think about falling asleep with Yinhe now, so she could only bury this idea in her heart.
The venue has been cleaned up.
The Medusa sisters followed the Seven Pigeons and Fluorescent Fruit, laughing and talking all the way towards the Timber Forest.
The drunk Medusa nuns became much bolder and even told dirty jokes to Qi Ge and made fun of Qi Ge and the fluorescent fruit.
But in a few seconds, they were chased and beaten by the only sober person, Fluorescent Fruit, until their hair was all messed up.
Qi Ge watched Medusa playing with a smile on his face, while paying attention to the map markings to avoid getting lost.
Soon, Qi Ge saw two particularly bright flames in the [Wooden Forest] not far away.
Fluorescent Fruit was alert, his eyes flashed, and he switched to temperature vision and saw the red shadow under the firelight.
She asked curiously:
"Caveman? But it doesn't look like one? Much bigger than the normal caveman?"
Qi Ge smiled and said:
“Yes, the caveman.
The third-tier hidden troop among the cavemen, the Cave Burrowers, is a very rare hidden troop. Even in my territory, there are only two of them.
Your homes were built urgently by them for you.
In order to help you build a suitable living environment as quickly as possible, they didn't even attend this dinner. You should thank them very much."
grateful?
Fluorescent Fruit felt a little confused for a moment. In the Medusa tribe, the cavemen were slaves similar to livestock.
Just as few people would express gratitude to the donkey that pulled the cart, Medusa would hardly express gratitude to the cavemen.
However, Fluorescent Fruit's thoughts quickly changed.
His Majesty the Seventh Pigeon said that in the God's Chosen City, all races are equal, and no one is nobler than anyone else.
No matter what race they are, if they help you, you should express your gratitude.
The two cave explorers heard a lot of noise from afar and sensed the arrival of the seven pigeons.
Before the seven pigeons came close, they excitedly waved their torches and greeted each other:
"My Lord! Medusa's hut is now completely finished!"
"Lord City Lord, we completed the task on time!"
Seven Pigeons smiled and strode over, bent down and hugged them one by one, saying:
“Rumfa, Kaidi, you did a great job.
The mission came so suddenly, I'm sorry for that."
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. There are already many underground caves under the Paving Forest. We just expanded them according to their shapes."
"Lord City Lord, please don't say that. Being able to share your worries is the meaning and value of our existence."
Ramfa and Kaidi were very excited to receive the praise from Qige.
Although they said this, they couldn't hide the joy in their bodies.
Fluorescent Fruit suddenly felt that the two cavemen were more friendly.
Being able to work wholeheartedly for His Majesty the Seventh Pigeon and being commanded and ordered by His Majesty the Seventh Pigeon is a kind of happiness!
Deputy City Lord Petra once said that as long as one can understand this point, no matter what race or gender, they are all members of our Church of Miracles!
She walked forward, stood beside the Seven Pigeons, bowed, and said:
“Rumfa, Kaidi, thank you for building a residence for our Medusa envoys.
On behalf of all Medusa, I want to say thank you for your hard work."
The two cavemen were so grateful for the fluorescent fruit that they even straightened their bodies a little.
Ramfa said quickly:
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard!
Come on, I'll show you around the new residence. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we brothers will change it right away."
"Yes, yes! We'll fix it right away!"
The Seven Pigeons led the Medusas and followed Ramfa and Kaidi into the underground cave. Fluorescent mushrooms were planted on both sides of the cave to provide lighting.
The further we went into the underground tunnel, the damper and colder it became.
Ordinary humans would definitely not like this kind of
Qi Ge secretly paid attention to the expressions of the Medusa Sisters and Fluorescent Fruit.
As he expected, as the tunnel went deeper underground, they became visibly more cheerful.
Even the redness on the faces of the Medusa sisters faded a little.
Qi Ge introduced with a smile:
“The underground tunnel I chose is right in the middle of the [Wooden Forest] and the [River Forest].
The large amount of water brought by the Lun River can penetrate the soil and reach here, but it does not make this place too humid.
Medusas like an environment with a certain degree of humidity. I think building a residence in this location will make you most satisfied.
Ramfar and Katie helped you widen the tunnel and excavate a total of 140 rooms.
Each of the Medusas can live in a single room.
In the center of the tunnel is a hall where you can hold gatherings.
I call this tunnel the Friendship Tunnel, symbolizing the friendship between the Nightfall Tribe and the Chosen City.
It also symbolizes the friendship between us.”
Fluorescent Fruit listened and nodded like crazy.
She said with emotion:
"Your Majesty is so kind to always think of us."
The Medusa sisters responded one after another:
"Yes, His Majesty Qi Ge is really considerate."
"I like His Majesty the Seventh Pigeon the most."
Qi Ge was very happy to hear the Medusas' praise and see the system's favor and loyalty rising.
The biology of the Yasa continent that he had carefully studied in his previous life finally came in handy.
If the environment were too dry, the Medusas would not live so comfortably.
The City of Yingye is inherently deficient and lacks water, so the Medusas are forced to make do with it.
Qi Ge was confident that even if Ying Ye came here, he would like the environment of the Friendship Tunnel better than the Ying Ye Tribe.
After the Medusas confirmed that there was no problem, the two cavemen returned through the passage.
The Seven Doves continued to help the Medusas assign rooms in the central hall of the Friendship Tunnel.
Soon, all the rooms were allocated and the Medusas gathered together again.
"Okay, then you guys should rest as soon as possible, I won't bother you any more."
Just as the Seven Pigeons were about to say goodbye, the Medusas surrounded them.
"Your Majesty the Seventh Pigeon, Your Majesty the Seventh Pigeon, let's play a game together!"
"According to the custom of our Yingye tribe, we Medusa always play games when we move into a new house."
Qi Ge looked at Fluorescent Fruit, who nodded at Qi Ge repeatedly, indicating that the Medusa Sisters did not lie.
She also looked at Qi Ge with pleading eyes, hoping that Qi Ge would agree.
Qi Ge didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he asked with great interest:
"Come on then!
But before I do that, is there any lovely lady out there who could tell me what game I'm going to play?
Of course, it would be even better if you could introduce the rules to me.”
In an instant, the Medusa sisters cheered in unison.
"Great! Long live His Majesty the Seven Pigeons."
Fluorescent Fruit came close to Qi Ge and introduced quietly:
"Queen's Game, Queen's Game, Your Majesty the Seventh Pigeon, please listen to me."
"First, everyone draws lots to run for election, and whoever draws the king lot will be the 'queen'.
Ah, His Majesty the Seventh Pigeon is a male, so His Majesty the Seventh Pigeon drew the king lot, which is 'King'.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same.”
"The Queen has the right to issue an order to any number of subjects.
Because this is a game, excessive requests such as suicide are invalid.
The people who were ordered to do so will then vote.
If more than half of the people agree, the order will be passed.
Otherwise, the order will be cancelled and a new queen will be elected."
"The orders passed need to be fulfilled by the people.
If the people do as the command requires, then the command is fulfilled.
If the people do not do as instructed, they will need to complete a punishment task!
The king proposes three punishment tasks, and all his subjects vote to choose one of them.
The punishment mission must be completed no matter what.
So if you can, try to complete the order as much as possible! "
Qi Ge touched his chin. It sounded very interesting and the rules were not complicated.
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the elite mission: Queen's Game]
【Mission Name: Queen's Game
Mission requirements: Draw the King's Lot in the Queen's Game, and pass the order unanimously after designating all Medusas as subjects.
Mission Reward: Favorability of all Medusa envoys +20. Loyalty +10]
Oh, the mission was actually triggered!
Then we can't just treat it as a game. Qi Ge suddenly became serious.
He thought about it carefully and felt that he seemed to understand the essence of this "Queen's Game"!
If she is not elected as the "Queen" and is chosen as a citizen who needs to complete a task, as long as she can find a way to convince other citizens to oppose the "Queen's" order, she can lift the order and start the next round of "election".
If you draw the king's lot and become the "king", you need to design your own orders and get more of the people who are ordered to agree.
Humph, this is a game that tests political strategy, incites people's hearts, and plays tricks.
Unfortunately, these are my strengths!
Wait till you regret it, Medusas. Pulling me into this game will be your biggest mistake.
Favorability and loyalty, I’ve definitely got it with Qige!
Qi Ge nodded confidently and said:
"I understand. Let's do it!"
"Start! Start!"
"Sister Fluorescent Fruit, draw lots! Draw lots!"
Fluorescent Fruit held a handful of scales in his hand and scattered them into the sky. The scales seemed to have eyes and automatically flew to the hands of each Medusa and the Seven Doves.
According to Fluorescent Fruit, this kind of scale was developed by Yingye and is a prop specifically used in the Queen's Game, and the King's Sign is among them.
The scales will fly to everyone's hands completely randomly, absolutely fair and just.
Although Qi Ge had some doubts about this, after all, this prop that could be controlled by magic looked like a remote-controlled dice.
But it doesn’t matter. A true expert can kill the opponent even if he/she uses cheats!
In the first draw , the seventh pigeon did not draw the king's lot. The king's lot was drawn by a Medusa nun named Ying Zheng.
She held the king's stick in her hand, with a smug look on her face, preparing to give the first command of the game under the envious gazes of the other Medusas.
Qi Ge is constantly observing the loyalty of other Medusas in the system.
First of all, you must figure out who you can win over and who you cannot convince, so that you can be invincible in your orders.
No matter what your first order is, as long as you dare to give it to me, I will deny it and start the next round of elections.
This is me, the confidence of a high-level player!
"Order all people to take off their shirts."
Qi Ge: ???
Wait a moment!
What the hell? How could anyone agree to such an order...
Swish, all the Medusas raised the scales on their hands to show their approval, leaving only Seven Pigeons and Fluorescent Fruit with their hands hanging down.
Hiss~~~~
Qi Ge was stunned. He stared at the fluorescent fruit.
Under Qi Ge's horrified gaze, Fluorescent Fruit turned his head away and slowly and firmly raised his scales.
Damn! Fluorescent fruit! Even you, a Medusa with 150 loyalty, betrayed me.
The Queen announced with joy:
"All 101 people, 100 in favor, 1 against, the order is passed."
"Swishing"
“Da da da…”
The sounds of clothes being taken off and falling to the ground were like the execution song of the Seven Doves.
Qi Ge took a deep breath. Under the dim light of the fluorescent mushrooms, all Medusas' eyes were focused on Qi Ge.
Qi Ge finally realized that something was wrong.
The most difficult part of this task has already appeared.
Just like negotiations between countries, the outcome has already been decided before the negotiations.
Before this game even started, the Medusas might have reached a secret agreement.
They teamed up to plot against me!!!
So that's how it is. Qi Ge calmed down.
In this game, all 101 Medusas are hunters, and am I the only prey?
Then, we can’t follow them!
"I refuse..."
When Qi Ge was about to say something, he suddenly saw the worried look on Fluorescent Fruit's face and the almost smiling faces of the other Medusas.
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
"The punishment mission is proposed by the Queen, and the people make the choice."
The first order was already outrageous, and the punishment mission would only be more outrageous.
Damn it, I’ve been tricked. I can only agree to it first and make plans later.
The Seven Pigeons joined the Medusas in taking off their shirts in great humiliation.
A new round of draws begins.
"All people, take off your pants!"
The third one.
"All the people, hug His Majesty the Seven Pigeons!"
The fourth, fifth, sixth...
As the orders were given one after another, the Seven Pigeons gradually became desperate, but the laughter of the Medusas filled the entire underground cave.
The underground cave was already very humid, and as the game progressed, mist gradually appeared.
Wisps of mist, tall and thin, as thick and white as milk, wandered back and forth in underground caves, obscuring the faint light of fluorescent mushrooms and hanging on the black treetops.
…
…
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for completing the mission: Queen's Game]
[System prompt: Medusa Yingdang's favorability towards you +20, currently 118 (Life and Death)]
[System prompt: Medusa Yingdang's loyalty to you +10, currently 109 (die hard)]
…
Qi Ge looked at the system panel with a sneer on his face.
I admit that I underestimated the Medusas in my strategy and was ambushed by them, but so what!
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.
They planned everything, but they could not have imagined that 101 Medusas could not defeat one Seven Pigeons!
Between the hunter and the prey, if the prey is too strong, the positions will be reversed!
Just as Qi Ge thought, the Medusas cheated.
The seventh pigeon can never draw the king lottery.
But so what.
Haha, a cold-blooded animal that can’t even last half an hour and is shivering all over dares to challenge me.
The seven pigeons knocked down Medusa one after another. In the end, the only one who was still awake was the seven pigeons.
Naturally, all Medusas are subjects.
The order given by the Seven Pigeons was to put all the Medusas to sleep.
They were already unconscious and could not object, so the order was passed.
At the same time, they were already sleeping, so they were naturally forced to complete the order and let Qi Ge complete the task.
Foolish Medusa.
At first glance, you can tell that he has never heard of the reputation of my Seven Pigeons Coiled Dragon Pillar.
Even a dragon has to coil in front of me.
Snap!
Qi Ge opened another bottle of energy potion, held it with trembling hands, and poured it into his mouth.
He drank too fast and too impatiently, and some of the energy potion slid down the corners of his mouth and chin to his collar, soaking it completely.
As Qi Ge dragged his exhausted body back to his room, Zi Yuan appeared beside Qi Ge accompanied by a burst of purple light.
Qi Ge collapsed on the bed weakly, and said with some guilt:
"Shion, I promised you that I would give you a massage tonight, but now it seems that I have to break my promise."
Shion smiled secretly and turned into a cute purple-haired elf. She stretched out her soft little hands and massaged Qi Ge's waist.
"It's okay, my savior, just take a good rest, and let Shion give you a massage!"
Qi Ge was deeply moved.
Shion is so well-behaved, woooo.
"Come on, my savior, turn over."
"Wait a minute, Shion, massage is massage, why do you have to take off your clothes?"
“I don’t have any other intentions, I just want to see the Panlong Pillar.
Lord Savior, just lie down, I will cross my legs."
Qi Ge: ???
——
At dawn the next day, Qi Ge sat beside the bed, looking at Ziyuan who was sleeping soundly in the mount space, and fell into deep thought.
I told you that I was Panlongzhu, but you still didn't believe me and insisted on trying it.
If you try, you will die. Look, just lie down.
It's just that this energy potion consumes too much energy.
One dragon of Ziyuan is better than hundreds of female Medusa soldiers!
It's outrageous. The tractor that was just filled with gas yesterday is running out of gas again. Who can bear this? Gasoline is so expensive.
This won't work.
Qi Ge no longer wants to live the life of searching for the fountain of youth like in his previous life.
It seems that we must establish a self-sufficient energy potion production line in the territory as soon as possible.
Moreover, having only Elena as a pharmacist is definitely not enough. We must think of a way to recruit a few more pharmacists. Otherwise, we won’t have enough for ourselves. How can we make a fortune by selling energy potions?
I'll ask Master Agaide some other day to see if he has any clues.
Qi Ge stood up, stretched his sore waist, and walked out of the room.
Outside the room, the marine sorcerer Wolfs was waiting quietly with his hands hanging down.
Seeing Qi Ge coming out, Wolfs quickly walked to Qi Ge and said respectfully:
"My Lord, I am ready and can set off back to the tower at any time."
Qi Ge nodded, patted Wolfs on the shoulder, and said:
"Come on, I'll take you to the beach."
Wolfs' heart warmed, and he quickly said, "Sir, Brother Clarence's goblin chariot is just ahead."
Qi Ge glanced at Wolfs and said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that you two get along well?"
Wolfs touched his head a little embarrassedly and replied:
“In fact, it’s mainly because the fairies under my command have a good relationship with the fairies under Lord Ke Ruoke.
I just got a little bit of credit.”
Qi Ge patted Wolfs on the shoulder, walked in front, and said, "Don't be so modest, your performance on the Silver Spirit is obvious to all.
After getting off the boat, you and Luo Xiang tried your best to calm other people down along the way.
Wolfs, no matter how you look at it, you are a very smart person."
Wolfs' heart skipped a beat. What did Lord Qige mean by this? Was he saying that I was being too clever?
Could it be that Lord Qige is criticizing me?
He quickly caught up with Qi Ge and replied, "Lord City Lord, I am only a little clever, but you are the wisest!"
Seven Pigeons laughed and said:
“Don’t be so nervous.
I always believe in not employing people if I doubt them, and trusting people I employ.
I have been an honest and simple person since I was young.
When I praise you for being smart, I mean it literally. There is no other meaning behind it, so you don't need to take it too seriously.
You have also seen Luo Xiang. He is different from you. He is very loyal and hardworking, but he is not as smart as you.
What you can do, he can't do.
Everyone has his strengths and weaknesses. A good lord is one who knows how to assign people to the right positions.
Are you right? "
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord City Lord! I think what you said is really wise!"
Although Qi Ge said he was honest, Wolfs didn't believe a word of it.
However, when he heard that Qi Ge was really praising him, he finally felt relieved.
Qi Ge secretly glanced at Wolfs's expression, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking meaningful.
