Astante is a country that admires literary style, and people with good backgrounds often choose to become scholars or artists. Of course, the country is no less powerful in terms of force, and the archers are their trump card. And the guardian hero of Astantt is the elegant Lancelot, a chordist who is famous for his archery.

When it comes to the class that is good at archery, people first think of the elven moonlight archer, then the orc's centaur archer, and then the whistle archer of Astant. The whistle shooter is suitable for group combat, and the method of battle is as follows: the squad leader selects the target and shoots an arrow with a whistle, and the whole team casts [Symphonic Arrow Rain] to the place where the whistle comes from (this is a transformation of [Arrow Rain], the range is reduced but the density is greatly increased). As soon as this move is made, even a hero-level combat professional will have to be injured immediately.

Despite his powerful troops, Astante never contemplated external expansion, instead focusing on cultural construction. Every year, Astante holds an exchange meeting, and many foreign masters of life and profession visit to conduct artistic and academic exchanges with their peers.

The relationship between Astant and Olquila has never been very right, even though the two countries have been married in history. It is said that the princess who married was snubbed by the prince after giving birth to a child, and the prince had to have an affair with the maid, so that the princess lost face. Of course, this kind of wild history is not elaborate, and the current mainstream analysis is that Astante admires literary style and elegance, like a court musician, while Orquilla is vulgar and wild, like a craftsman, so that both sides look down on each other, and the relationship is naturally not harmonious.

However, it is such a country that has a dislike for Olquilado that also stretches a helping hand to Olqui in times of crisis. When the White Bone Tyrant divided his forces, the offensive was suspended, giving 100,000 people a glimmer of life. They flocked to Astante and were immediately provided with temporary shelter and free food.

Yastant, the basement of a certain house. The oil lamp was dim, illuminating a faint yellow.

The clergy of any religion have the habit of praying daily, both in the Holy See and in the Twilight Church. At this moment, the dusk prayer Pers held the bronze canon and recited: "If there is a god, there is a god...... if an acquaintance looks at his face, he will surely be startled, because his beard, eyebrows, and hair are all dyed with white paint, and his face is full of age spots and wrinkles, and his skin is precipitated with a thick melanin. He was the backbone of the cult that Astantt was hunting down, but he is still safe and sound, thanks to thousands of new believers.

When the capital city of Orquila was broken, the citizens of the city believed in the Twilight Cult in order to survive, and more than half of them even became clergy. The clergy of the Cult of Twilight are half-dead creatures that look indistinguishable from living people, and it is extremely difficult for non-professionals to distinguish them from normal humans. About 10,000 Twilight clergy, including Perls, infiltrated the refugees and made their way through the defenses to the territory of Astant.

However, the Yastantes did not take it lightly and separated their own people from the refugees by pooling the refugees and placing troops outside the camps in the name of "protecting the people of neighbouring countries". Judging by this move, the top management of Astante became suspicious of the refugees. In this case, there was no way for Perls to be free.

"Walls can't block thoughts, and force can't bury faith." Faced with a difficult situation, Perls said only one word, and then took the risk himself to spread the teachings to the soldiers in charge of the guards. The soldier was soon brainwashed by the teachings, treating Perce as someone closer to him than his parents, and opening the door for him and a dozen other important backbones. With the money raised by the soldiers, Perls travels to a small town to develop new believers. The basement he was in was provided by the new believers.

"Well, it's finally here."

Sensing the familiar wavelength of the soul, Perce put down the bronze canon, tidied up his clothes, pulled open the door, and walked up to the first-floor living room. The owner of the house was peeking out of the window lattice, and when he saw Pers appear, he waved his hand in a panic: "Please go back, Lord Prayer Lord!" There's an unknown guy out there, I'm afraid—"

"It's okay, it's an envoy sent by the Son of God. Concerned about my safety, Miko deliberately asked the envoy to serve as a bodyguard. Perls opened the door and said to the knight in the courtyard, "Hello, what shall I call it?" ”

The knight wore an earthy yellow cloak with black iron half-length armor underneath the cloak. As he dismounted, he smiled at the sight of Purs: "Just call me Underworld, Mr. Pers." ”

"When I saw your face, I mistook it for Miko-sama for a moment, hehe...... It's so similar. Perls took a few steps back and sideways to get out of the way. The Underworld looks highly similar to the White Bone Tyrant, except that his chin is slightly squarer, and his smile is more hearty and bold, which is more manly than the White Bone Tyrant.

"There's no way, I'm him, he's me, not to mention appearance, even the soul is convergent. By the way, your appearance has changed too exaggerated, right? It's not the same as I remembered. Stygian entered the door and closed the door with his backhand. At this time, he noticed the cowering owner of the house, so he raised his hand and smiled: "Hey! ”

"Hi ......"

The two went down to the basement. Although there was a stuffy smell in the room, the necromantic creatures didn't care about such trivialities. Bringing a chair for the Underworld, Perls casually asked, "How did you get into Astant?" ”

"I picked a weakly defended area and came in."

Pers couldn't help but laugh: "Sure enough, it's Miko-sama's style...... You know, if you do it too much, you'll get us noticed. ”

"Even if I didn't kill anyone, you would have been watched closely, wouldn't you? Especially the people of the Holy See, whose nose is better than that of a hound. I was passing through a small town and found the Knights of the Iron Hoof, it was so exciting, that 'Alternate Saint' is less than two hundred miles away from you! "The face of the underworld is carefree, and he still looks like he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Perls nodded: "I know about this, the other party hasn't taken measures yet, so it's safe here at the moment." Oskol weaved a network of believers, and we had a picture of the area southeast of Astant, with one large city, three medium-sized cities, and ten towns. ”

"It's fast!" The Underworld was slightly taken aback and exclaimed.

"Mr. Oskol owes a lot of money to me in anticipating danger and escaping arrest. Without him, the Twilight Sect would be a loose religious organization at best, and it would be impossible for it to have a strong information coordination function. If you want to see him, I'm afraid it's unlikely, because he has already infiltrated the center of Astant, and it is difficult to get out for a while. ”

Afternoon.

Qingyi got off work and went home, feeling as cold inside the house as it was outside. He quickly turned on the heating and then turned on the computer again.

"Sicilian Express...... Hmmm......"

He pulled out the document from his briefcase, typed in the delivery company's URL, and browsed it. The website is beautifully done, with several columns, including recommendations for a restaurant's signature dishes, DIY tutorials, and even a section on how to eat a balanced diet. Customers who order a meal first select the restaurant, then go to a new page to select the dish, each dish has a picture and text description, and even what other diners have to say about the dish. Not only that, but Sicily Express also offers limited-time offers and group purchases, which will definitely appeal to customers who like to be budget-conscious. Judging by the number of hits this month, this site is very popular.

"Oh my God, this kind of advertising for the restaurant, right? Wouldn't you still be able to earn advertising money?! Qingyi laughed: "If this continues, Little Bee Express will be eliminated this year!" But the other party has the support of the mafia behind him, and he can't conflict with the other party...... What kind of nerves do they have, instead of killing people and setting fires, they come to rob my business? ”

Xinglong Express and Curry Curry did not have a homepage, so Qingyi called Curry Curry, ordered a curry chicken chop rice set, and then timed it on his mobile phone. After the delivery man arrived at the door, Qingyi found that the delivery time was neither fast nor slow, nothing special.

"$5, sir!" The delivery man spoke in a smiling Indian English.

"$5? Okay......" Qingyi opened his wallet, then looked up suddenly, in disbelief: "$5?!" How much does shipping cost? ”

"No shipping, sir!"

Qingyi felt that his brain was not enough. Take McDonald's burger combo (the cost of which is similar to the curry chicken chop rice set), where the burger with fries and cola costs between $5 and $8, and the customer pays $1 for shipping and a tip of 15 cents, for a total of $6 15 cents - $9 and 15 cents. And the offer of the delivery man in front of him is 1 dollar less than his peers! What is the concept of saving on shipping? It means that you don't go out, but the money you spend can be the same as going to the restaurant in person!

How is this cost reduction? Did they put gutter oil in the menu, or did they use sick chickens to cook?! Qingyi paid with great trepidation, then closed the door and opened the lunch box. The lunch box is a biodegradable disposable green lunch box, in which the rice is very generous, and the curry is still steaming, which makes people's appetite move. There is also a promotional card next to the lunch box that introduces customers to the farms and chicken farms owned by Curry Curry, and welcomes customers to visit them.

Well, even if you integrate breeding, processing, cooking, and take-out, you can still afford to pay the salary, but isn't it still a loss in disguise? Anyone knows that eating at a fast-food restaurant in person is a different concept than having a waiter deliver takeout, which costs extra money; Now, once the latter is rolled out, anyone will only order food and not in person – oh! So that's it! Qingyi couldn't help but smile.

First, economics assumes that people are rational.

Second, rational people act according to the cost-benefit principle.

As a result, rational people will choose the option that "looks more cost-effective". If you had to choose between "go to a restaurant for $5 and 15 cents" or "get someone to get food delivered for $5 and 15 cents," a rational person would choose the latter because it "looks like a better deal."

Then, if you compare "spend $5 and 15 cents to get the curry curry free shipping" with "spend $6 and 15 cents on the takeout of Little Bee Express", a rational person would choose the former. The concession of curry curry will not hurt you, but will attract the attention of customers and make a lot of money.

People tend to have deals and discounts, especially women, who take pleasure in collecting coupons, even though they don't use them most of the time. People who know how to cut out coupons from magazines are known as shrewd people. In fact, people aren't really savvy and choose the one that merchants want them to choose. This is known in behavioral economics as the "bait effect", where customers become fish, offers are bait, and merchants are always patiently waiting for the fish to take the bait. Maybe other fish will think that the bait is very shrewd, but the merchant will never think that the fish are rational.

"The third brother has a very good mind, so that all the guests will run over. Italians too, it's tricky. Qingyi opened the "Qiankun" forum while eating. When he saw the title of the pinned post, his chopsticks froze in the air.
