#211 - Chapter 211 Niu Tian is well prepared
After the older Minotaur voiced two different ideas, another Minotaur immediately asked, "Chief Niu Tian, you are older and have experienced more. What are your thoughts?"
The older Niu Tian humbly shook his head, saying, "Being old doesn't mean you know more. I don't know how to choose in this matter.
My suggestion is to have all village managers vote anonymously, and we will collect the votes and review them together in one place.
To avoid interference with the managers' votes, we can have teams of Minotaurs with different ideas collect the votes. What do you all think?"
The Minotaurs fell silent instantly.
Although the Minotaurs present controlled large areas, the thoughts of the managers below might not be the same as their own.
If it were a public vote, there would be room for manipulation, but an anonymous vote might not be accurate.
Unless they replaced all the village managers now.
Just then, Niu Tian took out a notebook and introduced it, "This is a list of village managers I sent people to collect.
I have checked it and there are no problems. Everyone should use this list to count the votes. If a manager is no longer there, let the Tier 2 and 3 professionals in the entire village vote.
After the village votes are tallied, the idea with the most votes will be considered the village's idea."
Hearing this, the Minotaurs felt slightly helpless. Niu Tian was so meticulous, he must have had this planned a long time ago, but he just didn't say it.
It was too late for them to come up with ideas now.
After putting down the notebook, Niu Tian took out a pile of wooden boxes and introduced them:
"These are custom-made props with two options inside: 'Agree' and 'Disagree'.
The voter injects energy into the box, which cannot be detected by outsiders. As long as your energy touches a certain option, the selection is complete and the box will automatically close.
Everyone can check it and make a choice at will. I will then demonstrate the accuracy of the voting results."
The Minotaurs immediately picked up the boxes, injected energy, and paid attention to their surroundings.
After a while, the Minotaurs confirmed that the wooden box was indeed difficult to observe internally. Only the palm releasing energy could sense the internal situation of the box.
After the selection was completed and the palm was withdrawn, even they didn't know what they had chosen.
At this moment, Niu Tian took out a square black cloth, placed it on the table, and said, "Everyone, put the wooden boxes on it."
Everyone immediately threw the wooden boxes on the square black cloth, and the wooden boxes instantly shrank.
After all the wooden boxes were placed on the black cloth, Niu Tian folded the black cloth, wrapping the wooden boxes.
As Niu Tian injected energy, three lines of numbers immediately appeared on the black cloth.
Niu Tian glanced at the numbers and smiled, "The first line of numbers represents agreement, the second line represents disagreement, and the third line represents no selection.
It seems that three friends have not made a choice and want to see if my prop is accurate."
As soon as he finished speaking, three Minotaurs said in unison, "I didn't make a choice."
Then, the other Minotaurs also stated their choices.
After all the choices were tallied, the information was the same as the choices on the black cloth.
Seeing this, Niu Tian opened the black cloth. Only three wooden boxes inside were intact, and all the other wooden boxes had turned into debris. No one could tell which wooden box they had used before.
Niu Tian said, "The ones that were not destroyed are the wooden boxes that did not vote. The other voting wooden boxes were destroyed after the votes were counted to ensure security!"
As soon as he said this, many Minotaurs looked regretful. If they had known that the wooden boxes would be destroyed, they would have made up a random choice to make everyone lose trust in Niu Tian, so that they would have more opportunities to manipulate the vote.
Unfortunately, it was too late now.
At this time, Niu Tian opened a drawer and took out a pile of red beads, introducing them:
"These are shadow stones. The voting process just now has been recorded. Everyone gets one.
When counting the votes, let the managers of each village take a look, so as to avoid any concerns."
Seeing that Niu Tian had prepared so thoroughly, everyone felt unhappy, but they could only control their emotions and take the shadow stones.
At this time, Niu Tian took out the notebook again, flipping through it while saying, "Everyone here has some small conflicts and some small favors with the managers.
To avoid these conflicts affecting the voting results, I have assigned everyone to different groups to meet with the managers of different villages and collect their votes. Now I will read the list..."
As the Minotaurs understood the contents of the list, their expressions became very serious.
The Minotaurs who were teamed up had more or less conflicts, and the village managers they were responsible for were not familiar with them. Some names they had never even heard of.
This Niu Tian was too well prepared!
For a while, everyone couldn't think of a way to win votes for themselves.
While the Minotaur chiefs were racking their brains over the voting issue, the voodoo dolls quietly approached the ground, stuck substitute talismans on the soles of these Minotaurs' feet, and then returned to the ground.
After a while, Niu Tian finished reading the assigned tasks, and the Minotaur chiefs went to different villages in teams.
Two of the Minotaurs headed east and soon arrived at the nearest village, where they met the village manager.
After introducing the information about the voting box to the village manager, the two Minotaurs took out the shadow stone to show information about voting and counting votes.
The village manager was extremely excited when he saw the content recorded by the shadow stone.
When the invaders appeared, the village manager failed to fight the invaders, but instead became a bodyguard, protecting the chief's children during the retreat.
Later, the Minotaurs retreated steadily. The village manager also took the chief's children to escape to this place, and was appreciated and managed a village.
However, the other village managers had participated in resisting the invaders, and it was difficult to have in-depth exchanges with each other, making it impossible to consolidate their positions.
In addition, the patrol captain in the village who had participated in the war had always coveted the position of manager, which made the village manager even more worried.
Later, rumors spread outside that they wanted to help the will of the plane absorb materials from other planes to break the invaders' suppression, which gave the village manager hope.
The village manager wanted to take this opportunity to go to the front line to gain experience and gild himself.
However, his own chief opposed the war, and the village manager could not openly refute it, so he could only suppress his emotions.
He thought he would not have the opportunity to fight the invaders, but he did not expect such an anonymous voting method to appear.
This gave the village manager a chance to fight the invaders.
The village manager tried hard to control his excited emotions and said calmly:
"I am against letting the will of the plane devour materials from other planes. It's good as it is now, why provoke the invaders?"
After saying these words to show his loyalty to the chief, the village manager reached into the wooden box, preparing to select the option to 'Agree' to the will of the plane devouring materials.
