Chapter 39 Selection Next
The first problem was that when Catherine was too keen on horseback, the big girl had not done a good job in food distribution for several consecutive days, which led to insufficient food supply in the convoy. In order to make up for her "mistake", Milton took all the remaining people to hunt.
The work that was originally responsible for by the adults now has to be handed over to a group of children to complete. Therefore, when it comes to dinner, people see Catherine bringing a group of children to distribute reduced amounts of food to everyone. And Catherine seems to be still in a state of trouble, so that most of the work is done by those children.
On the surface, Catherine was closing her eyes to fight Milton's "distrust" in her. In fact, she was quietly recording the performance of each child - because today's food is only half of the normal amount, the problem of being covered up by sufficient food is exposed at this moment! Those children adhere to principles, those who want to be good people; those children are stealing food, those who are robbing other children's food; those who know how to take care of people, those children are wasting; those children are secretly storing, those children are forming cliques...
All the strange phenomena that happened in food distribution were recorded in Katherine and collected in Shen Yan.
Then it was replaced by a tiger who took his children to do the internal affairs of the fleet. He deliberately broke up the small group formed by the children in the past. In just a period of time, he found all who work hard, who is cheating, who has leadership skills, who is living perfunctorily, etc. It can be said that in the face of the indulgence of these adults, these children have completely released their "nature". Some people still maintain their true nature, and some have become arrogant. They completely forgot that they are just orphans who were taken in. No one here is your parents who can spoil you unconditionally.
What happened next was even more strange - during a hunting trip, the adults were unfortunately poisoned and vomited and diarrhea! As a result, the food crisis further expanded, and the lizard head had to take the half-old children to hunt!
During the hunting process, those who are really brave, those who are only brave to the weak, those who are cowardly, those who are smart enough, those who are too cruel, etc. are all clearly seen. Then the Lizard Head follows Shen Yan's instructions and deliberately is lazy - he does not praise the children who contribute more, nor criticize the ones who only do stroke. So some children who contribute more angrily gave up, but some children stand up and take the initiative to take over the leadership position of the Lizard Head...
After collecting and organizing information from multiple parties, what is summarized into Shen Yan is a comprehensive profile of each child! When Shen Yan uses some statistical analysis methods to process it, the situation of each child becomes clear at a glance.
Shen Yan's analysis was not about choosing saints. He would not only choose "kind" children to give praise. Smart and cunning are also worth cultivating; even if the brave children who fight bravely during hunting are bullying the weak, it is not a big flaw; and the little villains caught this time, Shen Yan finally doesn't worry that they will be a group of fools in the future.
However, the largest number of ordinary people are still ordinary people with no highlights. They are a little cowardly and kind, and occasionally have evil ideas, but do not have the courage and ability to implement them. Such children account for the majority.
But there are also some "weird". How to say it, as long as it is a piece of shit, it will not just smell bad! If a person falls apart, then his bad qualities will definitely be more than one - there are a few children - in the worst qualities selection, they almost "ranked at the top"!
He bullies the good and is afraid of evil, likes to spread rumors, is greedy and lazy, likes to say beautiful words, and only deceives and cheats and cheats... There is also one of them that is hidden very deeply. He is no different from ordinary children, and he is even better.
But he has no sense of morality! nor any belief! Such a person is terrible in this world.
When Chen Yan found this person, he was shocked! Damn, is there a future boss? God Slayer hidden in this team? You must know that this is not the world we are in. This is a world where God is staring at the top of his head. Even if there is no shame, the nobles who have their own moral concepts! But this child has nothing, and it seems that he can only survive and use any means in his beliefs! Then there is endless greed! If he does not have the shortcomings of greed, Chen Yan may not be able to find him.
In the end, when Chen Yan handed this thing over to the four giants, they were simply shocked! Chen Yan told them that this was sorted out based on the information they collected, and added some "simple" analysis... But no one believed what he said!
If I read less, don't lie to me - what we provide are trivial matters, but what you have brought out now clearly shows a person clearly from the inside out! Are you a fortune teller?
This unknown mystery is simply terrifying! You must not have been sent by God, you are God.
There is no way to explain, Chen Yan can only spread his hands and think about it whatever you want - as long as you take the blame, we will always be good friends!
The Rangers' assessment was another job interspersed with, and nothing special. The main way to them was to enforce the law. There were various "unpleasant" between the four giants before, just to attract ambitious people among them to take the bait... I don't know if they were seen through or if these people were all rough. In short, except for some minor problems, they performed well! Moreover, these people were similar to Milton and the others. They were like those of the whole family who were full and not hungry. Soon, the two legions got together.
The main problem is the hundreds of children. The older ones are 14 and 5 years old and are almost adult, while the younger ones are just weaned. Chen Yan made an assessment and left the rest to Milton to make a decision. He no longer intervened and tried to be the role of idle.
Milton was also a decisive person. After only one day, more than a dozen children picked were sold to multiple passing caravans!
In the future, they will become servants in the shop, slaves of nobles, and those who carry large teapots in brothels... No matter how bad their personality is, they will have their own whip to correct them, and they don't need people in the convoy to worry about it. They once had a chance, but they didn't catch them. Who could they blame?
And that obviously anti-human tendency, Milton gave a team of passing mercenaries to serve as stepsons for an old mercenary. The old mercenary has a good status in the group and must have accumulated some money. This starting point should be good. According to Chen Yan's words, if you are destined to be a big man in the future, we will not help you, but we will not create obstacles for you. The mercenary group has unlimited possibilities. Young man, start your path to defiance!
After this incident, the convoy's atmosphere has been completely renewed! Even those who rely on their seniority have restrained their faces and become good at being a human being. After all, children still have the value of selling, and they... don't even have the value of selling.
If you dare to make trouble, you will probably be filled in the ditch directly!
In fact, they are scaring themselves. Chen Yan’s suggestion is to keep these elderly people, and their experience is also a wealth - "A family has an old man, like a treasure" is not a joke. In this era without social system education and everything is passed down by word of mouth. A sentence the elderly say is remembered by children, and they may save their lives in the future! These people have not very good morals, but they can survive until old age in troubled times, and their survival wisdom must be respected!
By the way, buying and selling children in this era is barely considered charity, and it is basically carried out openly. Even the church is a buyer and seller - population trading is indeed extremely sinful, but merchants make profits and make more people survive. If you don’t say much about this, you can refer to the allusion “Zigong redeems people”.

"Xiao Yanyan, is it really good for you to do this?" Chen Yan's thoughts could be easily concealed from everyone, but he could not deceive Penny who was in common with him.
"Of course, nothing wrong." Chen Yanyi seemed to be distracted immediately, but in fact he was discussing the issue with Panni very seriously. "After the night of disaster, I thought a lot. At the beginning, I was surprised that the man did not come, and that the gods really dared to fight a defense battle at the risk of destruction... Later I found out that I had always thought too much."
"Oh? Which aspect?"
"All things that can be overthinking God's ideas from a human perspective.
Why didn't that person come? It's very simple, maybe time didn't happen... God was stunned, and it might have passed in a few years. How could he calculate the time and attack again in seven days? For him, tomorrow should not be much different from tomorrow a hundred years later.
The same is true for the gods. They dare to fight a war of destruction because the humans on the ground are just one page among countless wars of destruction! The gods can live for infinite lengths. Anyway, as long as someone survives and the planet is suitable for survival, humans will eventually reproduce again, so they never lack believers. This world has never been able to develop higher civilizations. I am afraid that in addition to suppression in all aspects, the occasional world-destruction disaster is also one of the reasons.
Then go further, if I am exposed, will the person chasing me come tomorrow, or will it come tomorrow a hundred years later?"
"Well," Panni twisted for a long time, and finally admitted reluctantly, "The reactions of those gods are indeed quite slow... but you can't relax because of this, do you know?" She also said that the lady in Huancheng stayed twice a year, and once for half a year... it was all a joke.
"Don't worry, I don't know. I just don't want to hide like a mouse. Before others start digging the soil, I already started running away... that's awkward!" Chen Yan gathered the reins of the horse and said confidently. "I just want to see how much I can do! What I can bring to this world, I want to surprise this world!"
