This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 160: "Workers" and "Chess Players



In the end, to everyone's surprise, the boy named Yale actually defeated the Knicks.

And Watson also won against Bald Jack.

Interestingly, Lin Ke had prepared the role of [Worker] for Watson.

While he had prepared the role of [Capitalist] or [Slave Owner] for Bald Jack.

Watson winning against Jack is quite amusing.

Finally, it was a showdown between Watson and Yale.

Lin Ke looked at the water mirror, similar to a projection screen, and felt that sometimes he couldn't keep up with that child's thinking!

Watson felt the same way.

Although he was strategic in his gameplay, the kid opposite not only saw through his intentions but also moved unpredictably and imaginatively.

This made Lin Ke increasingly satisfied.

"Mr. Watson's flying cannon move is quite traditional!"

At the center of the magical place was the chessboard, with a host explaining on the side. Naturally, the chessboard was shielded from outside influence.

"Oh? Little Yale's move... Umm, this move... Umm... What's the use of this pawn..." The host clearly didn't understand this chess move and didn't know what to say.

However, later on, Yale relied on that single "pawn" to wreak havoc across the chessboard, capturing two pawns, one cannon, and a guard, and eventually even exchanged for a mage (horse).

Only then did the crowd realize the brilliance of Yale's move.

"Amazing! Little Yale's pawn almost cleared all of Mr. Watson's pieces!" the host shouted, causing the villagers to exclaim in awe.

A pawn, seemingly useless in their eyes, was played to great effect by Yale.

A surprise victory!

When Yale's pawn reached the other side, Watson was already frowning and sweating profusely.

Later, he directly raised his hand to concede: "I lost, Little Yale, you're very impressive!"

Watson stood up from his chair and began to applaud.

Applause was a way Lin Ke taught the Azanen people, meaning approval and acclamation, but more elegant.

As Watson clapped, the whole magical place started clapping, and some couldn't contain their excitement and began to cheer.

Victory!

The little Yale from Azanen Village actually defeated Watson!

This was unexpected to everyone.

Yale, just a child, managed to beat Watson, whom everyone perceived as a smart young man.

"Victory! First place! Yale is the first place!" the young host shouted excitedly, his voice amplified far and wide.

"Little Yale is incredible!"

"Indeed, I played chess with Little Yale, and I lasted five minutes!"

"Tsk, your skills are too poor!"

"In my opinion, Little Yale truly brought glory to his family!"

"Yes, yes! It's a pity his brother Qing Cha is being punished right now."

"Sigh, what a good person!"

Villagers naturally shifted the topic to Yale-related fields, such as "Yale is nine years old and can get married" or "Yale's brother Qing Cha was punished by Lin Ke"...

This was their first time watching a match, and also their first time applauding and cheering on a large scale!

The villagers were getting increasingly excited and felt emotions that hadn't surged in decades. Not knowing how to express it, they could only cheer on the spot.

If one had to put it into words, it was a genuine feeling of being "human," becoming a subjective entity.

They responded to Watson's call, personally participated in arranging the competition venue, and many joined the competition. Even some prizes were jointly created by them.

This was an unprecedented feeling.

In the past Azanen, although everyone was from the same village and helped each other, there was still a lot of friction in life, even fights over trivial matters.

However, those who joined the factory no longer needed to compete for that small piece of land. Instead, they earned wages through work, transforming their relationships from distant to relatively harmonious.

Watson could sense this change.

He stood on the field, feeling the high spirits of the people.

He lost, but he was still very happy.

Because he could feel that the villagers were different from before!

This change was brought about by Lin Ke establishing a union and striving for the welfare of the union members!

Watson couldn't help but think of Lin Ke's so-called "unity," and then unknowingly closed his eyes.

The water mirror technique clearly reflected Watson with his eyes closed, stirring something in Lin Ke's heart, knowing that Watson had understood the meaning of "unity."

[Worker] has arrived!

Lin Ke felt a tremendous momentum approaching.

The next step was figuring out how to improve farming.

When food production is no longer tied to manpower, productivity will be liberated.

"Little Lin Ke, why is that child also closing his eyes?"

Lin Ke was pondering when Lolita, next to him, whistled and pointed at Yale below.

Lin Ke snapped back to reality, looked at Yale, and remarked in surprise, "Is he self-enlightening?!"

Self-enlightenment?!

Damn.

Why buy slaves when you can cultivate one directly!

Thinking of this, Lin Ke gestured to Lamiel and others, and a group of people marched grandly towards the center of the venue.

Watson and Yale's time wasn't too long, and by the time Lin Ke arrived below, they had already opened their eyes.

Both of them were experiencing that mysterious sensation.

"How does it feel?"

Lin Ke came down, first waving away the excited host, then looking at Watson with a smile.

"Young Master Lin Ke!" Watson nodded vigorously, his honest demeanor unable to hide his excitement: "[Worker], it's [Worker]!"

It truly was the [Worker] profession!

Lin Ke was also excited internally, but he still spoke calmly:

"Hmm, as expected. When you return, make sure to fully immerse yourself. In the future, your feedback should stem from extracting from your traits! The most important one should be the 'labor' trait!"

"Alright!" Watson was very excited but then looked at the closed-eye Yale opposite, puzzled, and turned to Lin Ke: "Young Master, Little Yale, he..."

"It's a good thing."

Lin Ke waved his hand, indicating to Watson not to worry, and couldn't help but grin: "Haha, it seems Azanen is truly blessed!"

He instantly thought of the [Chess Player] profession.

Originally, he considered giving Yale a role like [Consultant], [Strategist], or [Military Advisor].

But since he self-enlightened, it was only fitting for him to be taken in, heh heh.

"Excellent, very excellent." Lin Ke appraised the boy in front of him, liking him more and more as he looked.

Black hair, black eyes, red lips, white teeth—his handsome level nearly matched his own!

The key point was the black hair and black eyes, which Lin Ke liked a lot. For example, John was chosen as a personal attendant initially because of his black hair and black eyes.

However, the child before him wore somewhat thin clothing, just a simple outer jacket, with a glaring wound scar on the chest, reportedly gored by a Gula Bull, later healed by the Knicks.

Just when Lin Ke felt increasingly satisfied with this future subordinate, a timid voice piped up: "Lord Lin Ke, how is my brother Yale?"

Lin Ke turned around, and a little girl with a runny nose looked worriedly at Yale.

"Lord Lin Ke, this is He Weijun's sister..."

Watson whispered in Lin Ke's ear.

Lin Ke looked at the girl, then let out a deep sigh, his good mood instantly dissipated.

He still had promises to fulfill.
