When Yan Mo woke up, he was already in Yuan Zhan's tent.
After waking up, the first thing he did was look at the right hand.
He doesn’t know how the guide judges the addition and subtraction of scum values. Is it related to his physiological state at any time?
When Yan Mo woke up, his hand was shining and he began to find a sense of existence.
After several verifications, Yan Mo has determined that others can't see the blinking light emitted by the Guide and he watched as the light continuously blinked as if notifying him.
He remembered last time he looked at the contents of the Guide, the Guide showed the words of immediate punishment. If he doesn’t look at the contents of the Guide, would the punishment come when he wasn’t informed?
Yan Mo covered his palm and waited for a while. Time passed without any abnormalities in his body.
Does this mean he won’t be punished, or he will not be punished because he didn’t look at the Guide content?
Curiosity kills the cat. Yan Mo can't wait like this all the time.
It's either he dies early or dies late. He turned his right hand over and immediately regretted it.
- Treatment of another person's broken arm, scum value -1; total scum value of 99,999,890 points.
- Trying to save lives once, the scum value is reduced by 1; total scum value is 99,999,889 points.
There are only two of these, and nothing else.
Yan Mo's mouth was caught in a smile. Was that slave not dead? Or did the Guide included his “fainting” afterwards when it made a judgment?
Judging from Cao Ting and other people’s attitude, Yan Mo felt that unless there had been an unforeseen event after he passed out, the slave was absolutely dead. This, Cao Ting can confirm for him later.
If the slave was dead and the guide didn’t punish him, then it would mean...
He will continue to experiment and look for various loopholes in the guide.
For a better life in the future, it is now possible to simply analyze and to summarize the rules that the guide uses to punish him base on several examples that will occur.
Yan Mo pulled out the hay under the rotten animal hind and began to weave it at random. When he is mulling over, he always wants to do something. These mats can be filled with hay and place under the animal skin for Cao Ting or him.
"Little Mo, are you awake?" There was someone outside of the tent who called his name.
Yan Mo's thoughts were interrupted by Cao Ting words: "Finally you have woken up." Cao Ting sent him food and water. Yuan Shan also followed behind her. The big man still had an animal skin wrapped on his hand.
"Little Mo, what do you think is this?" Yuan Shan sat beside Yan Mo, and the thing was unwrapped like a treasure
After a stretch of silence...Yan Mo’s mind flashed for this naive man and his fingers twitched, but after seeing what the big hand was holding, he endured the urge to smack the other person.
"Isn't this honeydew melon?" Yan Mo slobbered. In his memory, he also ate this kind of honeydew melon. Apparently, some people used it to trade for salt. At that time, the honeydew was battered a lot and because it could not be put in storage for a long time, the patriarch divided the melons. He also had the privilege of eating a whole melon for himself.
This honeydew melon has stripes and looked a bit like a cantaloupe, but its skin was rougher. The color of the melon resembles the skin of a sweet potato. It smelled as sweet as honey.
It was a pity that the Salt Mountain people didn’t understand the method of planting. Either that or the melon didn’t adapt to the soil near the Salt Mountain people. The Salt Mountain people sprinkled the seeds into the surrounding soil and waited for them to grow naturally, but they never succeeded.
"Have you eaten it?"
Yan Mo nodded.
Yuan Shan teased him, "Do you want to eat?"
Yan Mo nodded madly, all restraints were gone! He wanted to eat that melon!
Yuan Shan couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face. Yan Mo let him pinch while he himself reached for the honeydew.
Yuan Shan laughed and let him steal the melon.
Yan Mo's hand touched the animal skin, and felt a surgical stone knife. The stone knife was wiped freely on the fur.
"I am coming. Don’t break it all over the place. The melon is sweet and the juice can attract bugs." Cao Ting laughed as she took the honeydew from the boy's hand and placed it on the stone table in the tent.
Yan Mo handed the stone knife to Cao Ting, and the service was, of course, better. He didn’t expect to eat it alone. He didn’t know that Yuan tribe can produce this kind of honeydew melon; however, when he saw Yuan Shan wrapped it with animal skin, he knew that even if Yuan tribe produced this melon, the quantity was not that high, maybe it's still precious item.
Cao Ting cuts across the melon and a unique sweet and mellow scent immediately filled the tent.
Yan Mo swallowed his tongue. No one should blame him for being so shameless. He came here, a place more terrible than the legendary apocalyptic world. Every day, except for drinking water which is still limited, he has to eat hard and salty dry meat and even that is occasionally not enough. It was a blessing for him to eat a roasted piece of fresh meat.
Last time, he suggested Cao Ting to cook a little salty and dried meat over a grill. Cao Ting replied with: “If it is not that I am strongly urging you to eat raw meat” but Cao Ting reminded him not to burn firewood to save it.
"Da Shan, this melon is precious. Half of it should be going to Da He, right? There are two children in Da He family." said Yan Mo reluctantly. If you want to mix well in the primitive society, you have to mingle with the locals. He is too young and also a slave. He can't build his prestige. He can only make people like him this way.
Yuan Shan sat down on Yan Mo bed and his hand rubbed the young man on the head while the latter was looking at the melon. Yuan Shan can see the young eyes with a trace of greed, "I sent them one. This one we eat."
"What about Da Yin?"
"I sent him nothing." Yuan Shan snorted and said: "If he wants to eat, he can go find it himself."
"Oh, how did you look for this melon?"
Yuan Shan shook his head. "There were powerful beasts in several places. I have a group of beasts in this place. It is very difficult to lead them. I was also lucky this time. When passing by, the family just went out hunting and only the cubs were left so I picked a few honeydew melons and ran out."
It’s also dangerous to eat a melon. This world is really fucked up!
Cao Ting cut a ten pound honeydew melon into eight parts and gave two pieces to Yuan Shan and Yan Mo. Perhaps the food here is precious, and the melon seeds are not removed before being eaten.
Yan Mo grabbed the honeydew melon and bit into it. When the melon meat entered in his mouth, it almost made him scream; too fucking delicious! This is the life!
The melon meat was cold and sweet. Not only does it taste good but it also has many benefits. It is effective for curbing hunger, rejuvenating vital energy, clearing lung infection and cough, lightening beauty freckle, restoring health and so on.
When the melon meat was being chewed in his mouth, Yan Mo's mind naturally had such thoughts. This is his professional habit. In order to prevent himself from forgetting these professional and useful knowledge, he has developed the habit of reviewing it once every time he meets something new.
The honeydew melon is very sweet, sweeter than normal melon. Yan Mo ate it and remembered to only spit out the seeds. Honeydew melon seeds can cure cold, diarrhea, relieve constipation and other things.
Honeydew melon seeds, even though they are cold and has a bitter taste, are still effective for enhancing human immunity.
Only after he finished his share of honeydew melon did Yan Mo found that Cao Ting did not eat anything. She was holding his hay-woven mat and looking at it repeatedly.
Cao Ting looked at Yan Mo and after seeing him looking at her she thought that he still wanted to eat. She immediately got up and went to the table and took two more pieces, and handed then to Yuan Shan and him.
Yan Mo took a look at Yuan Shan, and split the honeydew on the handle into two. He handed it to Cao Ting and said: “Sister, you should also eat."
Cao Ting obviously swallowed her tongue but she still shook her head. "No, you go ahead and eat."
Yuan Shan suddenly spoke: "Eat, you have to take care of Little Mo."
"Thank you Da Ren." Cao Ting sat on the ground and bowed down to Yuan Shan. Yan Mo saw her blushing.
Yan Mo's heart was calm because he saved Yuan He. And because of it, the Yuan Shan and the others’ attitude towards him changed. He completely forgot that this is a tribe that practices slavery. In this tribe there exists a relatively clear social class, and Cao Ting bowing woke him up. The scene made him realize that if he truly received the mark of a slave, it would be extremely difficult to get the social status he wants in the future.
"Yuan Shan Da Ren, these are a few common herbs that I have drawn for He Da Ren. If you see them outside, can you bring them back to me? Bringing the whole plant with the roots would be the best." Yan Mo hides his true emotions. He took a piece of wood from the bed and handed it to Yuan Shan.
Yuan Shan didn't pay it any attention. He smiled and said, "What did you draw?" When he took a look at the wood plate his face immediately changed color.
"Where are you from?" Yuan Shan stared at the teenager.
Yan Mo felt his heart tighten, did he do something wrong?
Cao Ting was too scared to look up. The melon in her hand was left untouched.
"Cao Ting said that you are from the Salt Mountain tribe. I do not think so. I have been to the Salt Mountain tribe. The priests there will use salt to treat people. It is different from what you did. This ends here. Little Mo, you honestly tell me, are you from one of the three cities?"
Three Cities? Yan Mo vaguely remembered that there was a top, middle, and lower city, but he didn't know what was in the three cities.
"You do not want to say it. Even if you draw the herb for Da He, I will still pay close attention to you from now on." Yuan Shan looked at him deeply, picked up the leather skin and put a piece of wood in the animal skin before he got up and left.
Yan Mo... The Yuan Ji men are really bold enough.
As soon as Yuan Shan was gone, Cao Ting felt more comfortable. She patted him and made him feel at ease. "Yuan Shan is very good. He will not say anything about you for as long as you are good and does nothing to harm Yuan Ji tribe. "
Yan Mo nodded and pointed to the melon on the stone table. "Sister, such a big melon, let's eat it separately and don't give it to others."
Cao Ting didn't refuse. The look she gave the teenager became softer. "Right, I want to ask you, how did you weave this whole piece? If there is enough hay, can you weave a bigger piece?"
Ah! Yan Mo looked at the bed and thanked Cao Ting for reminding his consciousness that wondered in a misunderstanding. He thought that ordinary things may not be understood here. He can pass on some skills that he regards as ordinary and useless, and then try to make his life better by using other people’s hands. Maybe he can reduce the scum value. No wonder his right hand was blinking bright again.
Yan Mo moved to Cao Ting side to confirm the news that the voyeuristic slave was indeed dead. While he was teaching Cao Ting the basic techniques of weaving the straw mat, he continued to analyze the punishment rules of the Guide.
Let's look at the previous examples.
1. Shortly after he woke up, the fat dog killed a person in front of him, but the Guide did not punish him.
Why? According to his analysis, there are two possible reasons.
First, he was tied up and seriously injured at the time and was completely incapable of saving anyone.
Second, he didn't know the language at the time. Even if he shouted out, the fat dog couldn't understand what he was talking about.
2. The guide punished him after ignoring Yuan He when he was brought back.
Why? He thought about it and only thought of three possible reasons.
First, he had some freedom at the time. If he was willing, he could have climbed over to heal Yuan He.
Second, he had already knew how to speak the language here, and Cao Ting was still by his side. Even if he couldn’t move he could teach others what to do in order to save Yuan He.
Third, he found that the Cirsium plant, which can be used as an anti-inflammatory and hemostasis, could be useful to Yuan He. Even though he couldn’t show up after various considerations, he could still send it to the tent.
3. He gave Yuan He a paralysis acupuncture needle, the Guide judged that he deliberately caused pain.
How is this judgment made?
First, can the Guide read his thoughts? Human thoughts are changing rapidly. The so-called mind reading phenomena is just a lie. But if thoughts and emotions are too strong and persistent, it may indeed be felt by people around you such examples are the so-called murderous intent, disgust, and love. He has participated in similar human experiments and has experienced this possibility.
The pain that he wanted to make Yuan He feel was really strong. Can he hypothesize that the Guide can read very strong emotions or thoughts at a certain moment? But what if his thoughts and actions are inconsistent?
Second, if the Guide can't monitor his thoughts, then does the Guide have the ability to analyze his medical skills, know all the knowledge he has, and be able to judge which treatment is suitable based on his previous medical skills and the availability of the medicines around him? What is good for the patient and what is harmful to the patient?
If he wants to find out which of the two is used as a benchmark, he still needs a lot of experimentation. From a scientific point of view, he thinks the latter is more likely.
4. He fainted, the slave was killed, and yet the Guide did not punish him.
Why? His analysis are as follows:
First, he asked Yuan Diao and others to not kill the slave before he passed out.
Second, although his fainting was suspected to be cause by his own hands, he did lose consciousness at the time.
Third, he paralyzed himself. Though he was suspected of cheating, but considering his poor health and two successful operations; his body and spirit did require deep sleep to recover. So either the Guide determine that if he is making himself lose consciousness so he is not cheating or the Guide cannot judge such subtle things and can only judge according to the specific appearance of the scene. Yan Mo speculated it was the latter.
Based on the above four examples, Yan Mo initially concluded that the Guidelines for judging and imposing penalties are as follows: The Guide can only judge based on the specific appearance of the scene, and it will do an in depth analysis of whether the scene at the time is suitable or not for the person he is saving. The Guide can only judge whether the Banished at that time has the ability to save people. This ability encompasses his actions and words, as well as his knowledge, his surroundings, and everything he can use at that moment.
If the rules he summed up are not wrong, Yan Mo guessed that the last time, when Yuan He was brought in with injuries, if he only expressed his desire to help Yuan He by mentioning it to Cao Ting or by letting Cao Ting send the help afterwards, clearly showing his good intention, the Guide may not have punished him.
Know the rules and you'll be fine.
Know the rules, and you'll be fine. Sich thing is called how to live.
