Chapter 64: Choice

Jed's town was crowded with people. Jed stood in the square with a cane, watching the crowds surging around him. Jed was 50 years old, and his forehead was already gray.

Jed had not been in good health recently. He also knew that he was old. Many young people in his family were now independent. Jed's town was the best among more than 200 towns in terms of construction.

Jed's management was also extremely strict, especially in the education of his family members. Many people wanted to move to Jed's town on their own initiative because it was the most developed and relatively fair and free compared to other towns.

As long as you don't break the law in the town, people here are basically rich. Jed did not keep everything firmly in his hands like the mayors of other towns.

The area of ​​the town has doubled, thanks to Jed's distribution of some family-controlled businesses to many large and small businessmen in the form of leasing, which has driven the overall economic development of the town.

Over the years, Jed has realized a truth: sharing-based development is the best and far more long-term than predatory development.

The Angus family now has hundreds of people, and is a relatively large family on the grassland. In the future, Jed wants to continue to expand the town and increase the salary of some people in the town.

Today is the day when the gods come. The gods will select nearly 1,000 people to build a town near the gods' base.

This news was notified by Gene a few months ago. Many people are very much looking forward to being chosen by the gods. This is tantamount to not being too boring in the future.

People keep asking about conditions and qualifications, but Jed is not clear because Gene did not explain it when he came.

It's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no sign of the gods. Many people are waiting anxiously. More and more people are talking about it, and many people even start to question whether this is fake news.

"It's Lord Gene."

Someone exclaimed, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

A touch of pale blue light is particularly eye-catching under the gray sky, and Gene jumps over step by step from the roof in the distance.

"Lord Gene."

Jed bowed slightly. More than 10 years have passed, but Gene's appearance has not changed at all.

"It's time to start."

Jed nodded, then turned on the loudspeaker and began to tell the people around that it was time to start. Many people cheered, but more people were confused because they didn't know who Gene would choose.

At this time, Gene spoke.

"In the past few days, please live your life as usual. You can do whatever you want. I will announce the list of candidates in a few days."

Jed also looked at Gene in confusion, and at this moment, Gene's figure disappeared little by little in the sun. He smiled gently, and many people exclaimed.

Soon, Jed received news that the gods went to other towns. The selection method was the same as Gene's, which was to let everyone live their normal lives, and then the gods disappeared.

Such things made many people completely confused, but Gene did not go far, but looked at the scattered people, and he hid nearby, watching the people here.

Using this method is also a helpless move, because if you come into contact with people, they will definitely show their best side as much as possible, so it is inevitable that there will be errors in the selection.

Everyone has their own selection criteria, and so does Gene. He silently stared at the people who were discussing in the town. At this time, Gene saw a couple who were discussing with a sad face.

"I guess they have all been selected. Let's not join in the fun and go back."

The wife said, and the husband nodded. It can be seen that the couple are not from this town. There are too many people gathered in Jed's town today because everyone wants to be selected.

Gene felt that the couple was a little special, so he followed them. Soon the couple arrived at a food store. After sitting down, they only ordered one meal, and then they shared it. They looked very loving and sweet. The husband ate less, and most of it was eaten by his wife.

Although the wife felt sorry, the husband said that he was not very hungry. After they got up, the husband took his wife to the candy store and bought some candy, saying that he would take it back for the two children at home.

Gene immediately found the information of the two people, and then chose them. He began to observe others. The only criterion for Gene's selection was kindness.

As long as this standard is met, Gene will choose immediately. He will not look at the birth and ability of these people. These are not what Gene wants to choose.

As for how the other guys choose, Gene does not know.

At this time, Gene saw a little boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He kept shouting on the street that he could help people outside as a guide for free because he knew everything in the town.

However, many people did not believe it. Finally, one person believed it. The boy took him to the place where the man wanted to buy something, and told the man the pros and cons, price difference, etc. The man was very satisfied to buy what he needed.

At this time, the man gave the boy some money, but the boy refused.

"Sir, the reason I help you is because I have seen many people who come to the town to buy things these days are more difficult. As locals, Mr. Angus always says that helping people in need will make the town better."

Gene smiled and found the boy's information and chose the boy.

"What will others do!"

3 o'clock in the afternoon

Li Chu quietly observed some people. He had already chosen quite a few people. He mainly chose them based on the level of work. In a shop, Li Chu watched a helper carefully sorting the goods and doing things meticulously.

Li Chu immediately found the helper's information and chose him. In Li Chu's cognition, there is nothing better than being serious. After all, being serious is the only criterion for determining the height of the superstructure. If the people at the bottom are not serious, there is no way to build the superstructure.

"I hope the other guys will consider this a little, otherwise it feels like there will be big problems with our plan."

Li Chu does not want their plan to build a highly developed science and technology town to go wrong.

This group of people who grew up in the town will be the core group of human science and technology in the future. Gene and his friends will take turns to teach people in this town some knowledge. When it's almost time, they will go to various towns to teach others.

Spreading knowledge and going up layer by layer is the foundation for building a strong human society.

At this time, in a nearby town, Gu Yi was also selecting people from the crowd. His selection criteria were people with strong curiosity, which was the biggest driving force for scientific development, especially some children. Gu Yi had already selected many children.

If these children were selected, their parents who were related to them by blood could also go there. Although there would be more people, Gu Yi intended to do his best to allow more people to enter the base to study.

So this time Gu Yi decided to select only children, and adults were not within his consideration.

"I feel that there will be too many problems with the people we all select to go back this time."

3:20

Deguna, who had already selected more than 10 people, had just entered a small town. She had only one selection criteria, that is, people who could speak up when encountering unreasonable things. Unfortunately, along the way, many unreasonable things, many people could only choose to remain silent, especially when some poor people met rich people, this unreasonableness was completely covered up.

"I've already said that if you don't buy it, you can get out."

A dispute broke out outside a store. A man held a machine and kept saying that it was a defective product and asked the store to return it, but the store's attitude was very arrogant. It seemed that a fight was about to break out. Fortunately, the security team came, but it was obvious that the security team was also on the side of the store.

The man argued with reason, and then he was thrown into prison. The people around him looked at everything numbly. Deguna decisively chose the person who was thrown into prison.

The reason why Deguna made this choice is that a group with a certain number of people must be irrational. If there are no such people in this group, it won't work.

"It's really a bit difficult. It seems that I have to observe for a long time."

Looking at the number of people who were chosen, there were only 13 people. Deguna was helpless, because most people would choose to remain silent when they encounter unreasonable things.

Time passed by minute by minute. At 4 o'clock, Rose yawned and looked at the sky in the distance. She had finished all her choices.

Rose didn't have any criteria. She would choose whoever she liked, so she had already chosen 100 people in advance, 50 men and 50 women.

As for whether they had family members or not, Rose didn't care.

Because in Rose's concept, she felt that it didn't matter what kind of people she chose, as long as they had healthy hands and feet, because people were difficult to control.

5 o'clock

Ellie also finished her selection. She looked at the list in her hand and looked at a family. She had only one criterion for her selection, whether these people needed help. This was Ellie's original intention, so she quickly completed her selection. As long as she saw those who needed help, Ellie chose them without hesitation.

But the 100 people in Ellie's hand had been used up. Ellie was a little depressed, but everyone had to abide by such rules, so Ellie planned to go back first, after all, the quota had been used up.

Ellie looked at the family in the small house again, and she said regretfully.

"Sorry, I can't help you."

Near 6 o'clock, Witt also finished his selection. Witt's selection criteria basically depended on whether the person was motivated.

This can be seen from many details of life. Witt will not even look at some lazy people, but he will choose those who manage work and life well.

The reason for this choice is that Witt is such a person. Although he has been working on the front line of research for many years, he will never bring work home, and will not worry about family when working. The two are clearly separated.

Such people live more self-disciplined, which is also Witt's standard.

"I don't know how the others are."

Witt came to a deserted place. Now only Gene, Deguna and Tang Rao have not completed the selection, and the others have completed it.

After the selection, Witt planned to go back. Although they were not as fast as Gene, they could return to the base very quickly after long-term jumping training.

"What is Deguna doing?"

Seeing that Deguna had only selected 19 people so far, Witt was a little helpless. Gene had selected more than 80 people and it was almost over. They were all walking around in more than 200 towns, and people were selected in each town.

Tang Rao has only selected more than 30 people so far, and the progress is very slow.

7 o'clock

It was completely dark, Tang Rao stood in a tavern, she looked around at the faces.

Tang Rao shook her head helplessly, walked out of the tavern, and looked around but didn't see anyone she wanted. Tang Rao had only one criterion for selection, handsome or beautiful.

The more than 30 people Tang Rao had selected so far were all handsome and beautiful. Soon Tang Rao came to a theater. After she entered, she immediately saw several handsome men and beautiful women. After finding their information directly, she chose them.

Tang Rao wandered around like this until 11 o'clock in the evening. He only selected 56 people. The rest could only be slowly found tomorrow, after all, there were still many towns he had not visited.

Looking at the database, only himself and Deguna had not finished the selection. Deguna had only selected 31 people, which was slower than himself.

"What is that guy's standard?"

Early the next morning, as the list of towns was announced one by one, many people were stunned, and the selected people were even more at a loss.

The town will provide them with food and water, and they need to set off immediately to the base where the gods are.

Many people couldn't figure out how some people were chosen, because in many people's eyes, they were impossible to be chosen.

And no one knew what the gods' criteria were.

I thought it was a pre-determined quota, but such a choice was beyond everyone's expectations. No one in the family was chosen, which made many people in the family feel a little upset.

Some people happily packed some things, and directly took their families to receive food and started on the road, because they had heard that the gods had technology that everyone envied.

However, there were still some shortcomings in the published list. Many people asked each other what the selected people did yesterday. Many people were also confused because they didn't do anything special.

Finally, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the gods' selection of people ended. This selection made many people angry because those selected people had nothing in common.

Jed looked at the list of these people quietly. Only 12 people in their town were selected. These people didn't know each other at all and had nothing in common.

"Hey, what is the standard?"

Jed actually hoped that someone in his family would be selected, but in the end, no one was selected.
