As long as you complete your work each day, you earn one point, and working overtime can earn at least 0.5 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, without external intervention, you can at least earn 45 points? That really doesn’t seem hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people seemed to think it wasn’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu naturally thought of these things too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not used to problems being solved so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either the work content is really difficult, making that one point hard to obtain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or there are too many penalty mechanisms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu wanted to ask something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, someone spoke ahead of him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will the work be difficult?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice seemed to know that someone would ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not, you can all definitely earn that one point. Although, it’s boring. I can only assure you that you can definitely earn that one point. Its difficulty will not exceed your abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it’s also not easy. Like a training session, it will make your heart rate increase, sweat, and breathe rapidly, but you’re not going to collapse from exhaustion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu roughly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This work’s difficulty is the kind that will make you feel somewhat bored and tired, but it’s definitely not too difficult to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not easy, not hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a punishment for interrupting me and demonstrating Three Towers Company’s power, I need to punish you.

An employee without discipline is definitely not a good employee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice from the electronic screen said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, you need to select a boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like a shepherd leading your team, an efficient team relies on exceptional leadership.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I’ve mentioned, Three Towers Company values discipline.

You can use any means, including but not limited to violence, seduction, monetary temptation, deception, or... sincerity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were once again plunged into astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd, some people’s eyes changed immediately. Amongst the fear, a trace of greed and the spark of power mingled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu’s heart sank sharply. Power, allocation, information asymmetry...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly constructed a simple model in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this extreme environment, the boss’s power is nearly absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the upcoming month, a good boss might be a lifeline, but a bad boss will be everyone’s disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swiftly swept across the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Lele, who had just been punished, had a face full of defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in a high-end suit, with sharp eyes, was thoughtfully tapping her fingers on the table, while a timid-looking young girl seemed to shrink into her chair...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu also noticed that his view included additional UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current votable ballots: 1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current votes received: 0.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu immediately thought of a game theory model, quickly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, you all have votes now, and I know you’re aware of the boss’s absolute power; the boss controls point allocation, essentially holding the power over life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this situation, you all must be eager to cast your votes for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before you vote for yourself, I need to tell you something...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scorpion Knife provided Wen Xishu with extremely powerful data support at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Record on File\" function allowed Wen Xishu to be as precise as a human hard drive:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At thirteen minutes and twenty-two seconds after we entered here, the electronic screen said this: a good boss will lead you out of trouble. A team without a boss is doomed to perish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not mistaken, this sentence means that selecting a boss qualifies us to continue the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a boss is not selected... then most likely, we’ll meet our end. Perishing is probably not a metaphor but in a physical sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, a team without a boss will be directly erased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if everyone votes for themselves, with thirty people having the same number of votes, the election fails, naturally, there won’t be a boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which means we would definitely face certain death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu explained the pros and cons at a rapid pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who initially planned to vote for themselves hesitated at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re all from an apocalypse, surely each of us has some sort of skill. We’ve got enough time to select a boss in these few minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having a boss doesn’t equate to winning; it must be one who cares about everyone, a boss not indifferent to life, to lead everyone through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I hope we conduct this election wisely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were necessary, and Wen Xishu clearly understood that if they weren’t spoken, someone might take extreme actions in this environment on the brink of death at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was determined to win the boss role himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the boss, this authority figure, appeared, he knew he must take on this role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed with his abilities, even as an employee, he would greatly influence this team.

At this moment, Wen Xishu discovered that... someone was trying to target him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately sensed this direct killing intent and also understood the other party’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous speech, coupled with his prior display of Shadow techniques, had made a good impression on many people, making him a strong contender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone wishes to defeat Wen Xishu at this time... the simplest and brutest way would be to prevent votes from being cast for Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making Wen Xishu—non-existent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu wasn’t afraid; he even anticipated someone launching an attack against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a savvy woman spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gao Lele, come here.

My ability is healing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, is there anyone else here who can heal others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman had golden hair and wore glasses, appearing quite intellectual; even from an apocalypse, she seemed unusually clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She surely wasn’t the type to flee in a panic during the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I’m the only one with healing-type powers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, the first rule; when hp=0, it’s considered a loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So hp is above everything else, and I can bring hp to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formidable opponent indeed. One must say, the woman’s image bestowed immense persuasion; in an apocalyptic environment where monsters and tales abound... being clean was proof of capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu was instead not in a rush, because he could feel the killing intent shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, saving people is good, but if you can’t kill the enemy, you best pray you can save yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game hasn’t officially begun, and merely the boss selection made Wen Xishu feel the joy of this game.\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-03T11:13:06.473Z","2026-06-03T11:13:13.662Z",1,"novelbin.me","258e67d6f92e0dd60519bac598835df7e94db319679b7e59954cb38ab38d993b","three-towers-game-chapter-1166","three-towers-game-chapter-1164",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
