"You're lying. If it's purely based on luck, it's impossible to pass the sixth stage, right?"
Yan Guilai said with a wry smile.
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, if it's purely based on luck, the third stage is almost the limit. In the entire duration of the event, only seven people rushed to the sixth stage purely based on luck."
With a wry smile, Yan Guilai said, "According to your settings, the reward for the sixth stage is only one gold coin?"
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, although it seems that the reward is a lot, in fact … … there are only seven people who can get one gold coin."
Yan Guilai nodded in admiration and said, "That's a good idea. As long as you participate, even if you can only pass one stage, you will gain something. Only in this way can the homeless children in the slums rush over to participate."
Ye Ling took a deep breath and said, "Yes, that's the truth. Many people only rely on luck and guessing to get ten copper coins. It's precisely because of this that this event is so attractive."
Yan Guilai nodded and said, "Yes … … when millions or even tens of millions of people get the prize money, the saying that this event is purely based on luck will naturally be deeply rooted in people's hearts."
Ye Ling shook her head and said, "It's not just tens of millions of people. In fact … … there are more than three hundred million people who got the prize money of ten copper coins. Therefore … … just for the second stage alone, we gave out three billion copper coins!"
Three billion copper coins?
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Yan Guilai was surprised at first, but then he laughed.
Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "Three billion copper coins sounds scary, but if it's exchanged for gold, it's only three hundred thousand taels, right?"
Looking at Yan Guilai with a smile, Ye Ling said, "Yes, in fact, we didn't spend much. And don't forget, although the first competition is free, if you want to continue the test, you have to pay a fee!"
Ye Ling raised a finger and said with a smile, "Every additional test costs one silver coin, which is one hundred copper coins. In fact … … after selecting twenty thousand super alchemy geniuses, not only did we not spend any money, but we also made a lot of money!"
"What! We didn't spend any money, but made money? "Hearing Liu Yan's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Liu Yan nodded and said, "You gave me thirty million taels of gold. After the selection … … I gave out twenty million taels of gold.... right, I should have less than ten million taels of gold now, right?"
Nodding, Yan Guilai said, "Yes, after all … … it's said that there are twenty thousand super alchemy geniuses, but in fact, it can't be exactly twenty thousand."
Looking at Yan Guilai with a smile, Liu Yan completely relaxed. She tilted her head cutely and said, "Take a guess, how much money do we have now?"
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Yan Guilai said, "Big sister … … please, I've been dealing with government affairs for three days in a row. My brain is almost in a knot. I really don't have the energy to guess. Just tell me directly."
Shrugging helplessly, Liu Yan said, "Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. In fact … … after paying all the bonuses, I now have a total of fifty million taels of gold!"
What! How could it be so much?
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Yan Guilai's eyes widened. He had no idea how Liu Yan did it.
Looking at Yan Guilai's dumbfounded expression, Liu Yan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Then, she said in a crisp voice, "It's actually very simple. Most people who failed the test were unwilling to accept it, so they all paid a silver coin and took the test again."
Nodding, Yan Guilai said, "A silver coin isn't much. It's only one hundred copper coins. Even if it's a commoner, it's very easy for them to fork it out. There's no pressure at all."
Nodding with a smile, Liu Yan continued, "But you have to know that the bonuses for the first three tests are one copper coin, ten copper coins, and fifty copper coins respectively. As for the difficulty of the third test, you should know it yourself."
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "That's definitely not the key point. I don't believe that just based on this point alone, so many people would spend a hundred copper coins to take the test again."
Helplessly spreading her hands, Liu Yan said, "You can't overcomplicate the problem. Don't forget that this is a competition. Although it's more entertaining, a competition is still a competition. Those who don't want to admit defeat naturally won't easily accept failure!"
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "That's definitely not right … You must have set up other incentives. Otherwise … it wouldn't be so exaggerated."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Liu Yan couldn't help but stick out her tongue and cutely said, "Okay, in fact … I also set up a Lucky Emblem!"
Lucky Emblem?
Hearing this name, Yan Guilai's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Nodding her head, Liu Yan continued, "For every third test, sixth test, and ninth test, we will give out a Lucky Emblem. The Lucky Emblem is divided into three grades: Bronze, Silver, and Gold!"
Nodding his head in understanding, Yan Guilai said, "So now, you've given out more than twenty thousand Gold Lucky Emblems, seven Silver Lucky Emblems, and more than three hundred million Bronze Lucky Emblems?"
Looking at Yan Guilai, Liu Yan said, "Yes, why … Is there a problem?"
Sighing and shaking his head, Yan Guilai smiled bitterly and said, "There's no problem, but … Aren't you afraid that your scam will be exposed one day?"
Raising her head fiercely, Liu Yan said, "How is this a scam? Apart from those twenty thousand super geniuses, for normal people, isn't this just a competition of luck? "
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Yan Guilai frowned and quickly thought about it.
After thinking for a while, Yan Guilai couldn't help but admit that Liu Yan was right.
This selection was promoted with the gimmick of a competition of luck. It was a competition of luck.
Therefore, apart from those twenty thousand super geniuses, the others could only compete with their luck. This was not inconsistent with Liu Yan's promotion.
From a certain point of view, the selection of geniuses had become a side function of this competition. A competition of luck was what made the people the happiest and most interesting.
In this way, the Lucky Emblem, which seemed to be child's play, became different. It represented everyone's luck!
While thinking, Yan Guilai said, "How about this? In a while, I will announce to the public that the twenty thousand Gold Lucky Emblem winners will receive full support from the Ministry of Government."
Nodding excitedly, Liu Yan said, "Then what about the seven winners of the Silver Lucky Emblem?"
After thinking for a while, Yan Guilai shook his head and said, "Forget it. There are only seven of them anyway. If they want to rely on luck to pass the seventh stage, the difficulty is so great that it's almost impossible."
While thinking, Yan Guilai said, "In a while, you will announce to the public that humans need their luck. Therefore … these seven people will directly become the Ministry of Government's inspectors."
The Ministry of Government's inspectors were specifically responsible for investigating and understanding the governance of each city's officials. They were responsible for whether they neglected their duties, slacked off, or if there were any cases of inaction.
These seven people had the right to directly submit a memorial to the chief magistrate. Therefore … although they didn't have any real power, their status and identity were not to be underestimated.
