#212 - Chapter 212: Voting Manipulation
Just as the village manager was about to select the 'Agree' option, his body suddenly lost control, injecting energy into the 'Disagree' option.
The village manager was terrified, wanting to shout, but he couldn't utter a word.
The two horned men responsible for counting the votes were unaware of the village manager's situation and didn't believe what the village manager said.
There were too many people who said one thing and did another; only after the results were truly tallied could their true intentions be determined.
Blindly believing what others said would surely lead to being scammed to death.
Afterward, the two horned men collected the wooden boxes used for voting, turned, and left, heading to the next village.
"Farewell, esteemed sirs," the village manager waved goodbye with a smile, then turned and entered his room, closing the door.
The next second, the village manager cried out in terror, "Who is controlling me? How have I offended you?"
Although the village manager seemed to be shouting, his voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
The next second, the village manager lost control of his voice.
Fang Che controlled the village manager's body through the Substitute Talisman, using the village manager's voice to reply:
"Don't worry about who I am; just remember that you can't start a war right now. Don't reveal today's conversation, and you can still be your manager. If there's a chance in the future, I'll promote you."
Then, Fang Che manipulated the Witchcraft Doll to leave some resources behind the village manager, and buried surveillance tools underground, before pausing the control of the village manager's body.
The instant the village manager regained control of his body, he felt a rich energy aura coming from behind him.
The village manager turned his head to look behind him, instantly attracted by the precious resources, falling into a daze.
After a moment, the village manager murmured to himself, "So many resources can allow me to cultivate for a long time;
Moreover, he said he would promote me in the future. He must be someone who doesn't support letting the plane's will devour materials from other planes;
Anyway, my patriarch doesn't support this matter either. Being controlled by him isn't a big deal!"
After saying these words, the village manager felt at ease, collecting the materials on the ground, and no longer considering reporting this matter.
At the same time, Fang Che, through the fourth-tier horned-man patriarch, transferred the Substitute Talisman to those village managers who agreed to let the plane's will devour materials.
And using the Substitute Talisman, he controlled their bodies to make other choices.
Although the wooden box props could shield the horned men's perception, in Fang Che's eyes, they had no ability to hide.
Fang Che could determine the location of the two options just by observing them with the Witchcraft Doll.
Whenever Fang Che manipulated a horned man to complete the selection, he would throw down a pile of materials to stabilize them, and monitor their every move to prevent them from informing.
And these horned men basically regarded Fang Che as a horned man who didn't want the plane's will to devour materials, treating it as an internal struggle between the various patriarchs, all choosing silence, and no one leaked the information.
This allowed Fang Che to safely take away the Substitute Talismans from them and transfer them to more horned men.
Time flew by, and seven days quickly passed.
On this day, the fourth-tier horned-man patriarchs collected all the village managers' votes and returned to the place where the patriarchs gathered, and met Niu Tian.
Niu Tian looked at the horned men covered in dust and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's count the votes first, and then everyone can rest."
After saying this, Niu Tian took out a black cloth and spread it out on the table.
The horned men immediately took out the opinions they had collected these days and placed them on the black cloth.
The wooden boxes touched the black cloth, quickly shrinking, and as more and more wooden boxes were placed, the volume of the wooden boxes continued to shrink.
After all the wooden boxes were placed, Niu Tian folded the black cloth, wrapped the wooden boxes, and then injected energy.
The next second, three lines of numbers appeared on the wooden boxes: forty-seven, three hundred and twenty-five, zero.
The instant the numbers appeared, the horned men who disagreed with letting the plane's will devour materials exclaimed:
"The first line agrees, the second line disagrees, and the third line is those who didn't make a choice. We won!"
"Great, everyone knows that the plane's will devouring materials will anger the invaders. Great minds think alike!"
"If the two choices were evenly matched, I would have to consider the impact of making a choice. Now the gap between the two choices is so large that I don't even need to consider it. Let's continue selling materials from other planes!"
"I have someone here named Niu Xuanhai who is very good at sales. Everyone can give me the materials, and I'll let Niu Xuanhai sell them at the highest price!"
"I've heard of this Niu Xuanhai..."
The horned men who disagreed with letting the plane's will devour materials were very happy and began to discuss selling materials from other planes.
Those horned men who hoped to let the plane's will devour materials were extremely disappointed, but the result was here, and everyone no longer insisted and could only remain silent.
Only Niu Tian looked incredulous.
Niu Tian hoped to let the plane's will devour materials to escape the state of suppression.
Because before the plane's will was suppressed, it promised Niu Tian that he would be the first to advance to the fifth tier!
Over the years, Niu Tian has been manipulating public opinion.
After so many years of manipulation, Niu Tian believed that most horned men agreed to let the plane's will devour materials to get rid of the invaders' suppression.
To ensure success, Niu Tian even secretly replaced a batch of village managers.
But he didn't expect that the votes counted now were completely different from what Niu Tian had predicted.
Niu Tian didn't know if he had been played by the managers of the various villages, or by the people he sent out, or by these horned-man patriarchs who counted the votes.
Niu Tian really couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand.
How to change the result now? Should he go to the defense line and communicate with the horned-man warriors there?
Niu Tian thought about it, but still felt it was useless.
Those warriors came from different tribes and only listened to the words of the tribe patriarchs. Now that these patriarchs have recognized the voting results, these patriarchs will order the warriors to obey the results.
There is no possibility of a comeback.
Niu Tian sighed in his heart, tried hard to control his emotions, and smiled:
"Since the voting results are out, everyone should go back and rest well. Everyone has worked hard these days;
As for the plane materials, I suggest everyone keep some first and don't rush to sell them. If they are needed in the future, it will be troublesome to collect them."
"Understood." The patriarchs nodded in agreement, but in their hearts, they were choosing how to sell these materials for a good price.
Now the territory is too small, and the tribe lacks resources. Besides selling materials, there is no better way.
If materials are needed in the future, then solve it in the future.
In short, solve the current matter first, and then there will be a chance to live to the future.
