Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

"Partner?"

The next moment, Qin Yuyan finished speaking.

Chen Boxu was silent for a while.

Then, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and sneezed, then stretched out his hand and gestured to one of Qin Yuyan's men next to him while rubbing his nose.

"Do you have any paper? My nose is a little uncomfortable..."

The climate in Jincheng is much more humid than that in Yanjing, so as soon as he got off the bus, someone put a blanket on his shoulders.

Of course, people are not really worried about him catching a cold, but he is still the adopted son of Lord Chen after all.

The three big tycoons of Jincheng were so powerful that they didn't even kidnap people to use as bargaining chips, but they really had no manners or manners at all.

How much can be passed on the surface...

The next moment, Chen Boxu sniffed, his face still looked a little bad, and there was a strange itchy feeling in his throat.

He knew that he had probably caught a cold after traveling all night, but of course, that was not the key point...

He just wanted to delay for a dozen seconds by asking for paper.

Analyze in your mind who this so-called partner Qin Yuyan mentioned is and see if you should get involved in this matter.

There will be a handsome reward after the task is completed. It sounds good to say so, but what if it doesn’t work?

Chen Boxu is not an idiot. [No. 1 Cultivator's Grudge] is a copy that even the Bad Leader is helpless and can only choose to [Seal].

In other words, Qin Yuyan should know that if she lets someone who is not even a top-level player give her off-field guidance, her hope is slim.

The terrifying ability of the 'Chain of Cause and Effect' to eliminate cause and effect has attracted countless Shenlu players to flock to this dungeon despite knowing how dangerous it is.

Even so, up to now, there has never been any news that [No. 1 Xiudao Yuan] has been cleared by anyone.

This is enough to illustrate how weird and difficult this copy is.

The three major families in Jincheng have many capable people under their command. If they were not really desperate, why would they look for me?

He admitted that he had an active mind and was quite shrewd.

But the three tycoons of Jincheng have such social status and connections, is it possible that they can’t find experts?

Why did they have to look for an ordinary person like Chen Boxu to provide off-field assistance?

This is clearly a desperate move...

But even at this point, they were still obsessed with the "chain of cause and effect", which made Chen Boxu doubt the cause and effect that Qin Yuyan's so-called partner wanted to eliminate, and how serious the involvement behind it was...

If I get involved in this kind of thing, will I be dragged into it?

The three tycoons of Jincheng are not ordinary forces.

It can be said that this is the civil organization with the most in-depth research on the Divine Path and the most experts under its command among the capital chaebols in the entire Second District...

A question mark emerged in Chen Boxu's mind.

What kind of person, what kind of partner, would make the three tycoons of Jincheng rush to please him?

That’s right, Chen Boxu felt a little flattered.

Knowing clearly how difficult it was to deal with [No. 1 Cultivator's Grievance], the three tycoons of Jincheng were still willing to rack their brains to help the other party obtain the 'Chain of Cause and Effect'. If they were ordinary partners, the three tycoons of Jincheng would not have gone to such an extent.

After sending someone to try to brush [No. 1 Cultivator's Grudge] and failing, he directly expressed his inability to do anything, which was also a display of his attitude.

If it is not necessary to promote this cooperation or the two parties are on equal footing, even changing the conditions of cooperation is fine.

They did it even though they knew it was impossible. This shows that their partner was involved in serious matters. If the influence is not eliminated, they will probably have a hard time in China. But the other party's power is not simple. The three tycoons of Jincheng tried their best to facilitate the cooperation. This logic is the most complete!

So...please!

This is what flattery tastes like.

This is the only explanation that makes sense.

In this case, it is very likely that the other party's power and influence are even greater than the three tycoons in Jincheng...

Chen Boxu couldn't help but feel shocked.

Is there such a force? In his opinion, the size of the three tycoons of Jincheng is already huge!

And if there really is one, and if I get involved and fail to do my job well, will it have a negative impact on me?

What kind of partner could make the Zheng family, one of the three major tycoons in Jincheng, pay so much attention and fear him?

This is a problem.

If I intervene and fail to provide help, will it have an impact on the overseas organization "Yuanhang" under my control and Chen Ge Lao?

In the past, their father-son relationship seemed to be stiff and they were fighting among themselves, but in public, most of the time, father and son were united in facing the outside world.

At this moment, Qin Yuyan was staring at him meaningfully with a bright smile.

Chen Boxu pretended to lower his head and act as if his nose was a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his nose hypocritically while brainstorming.

People who are cunning have active minds and rarely make hasty decisions based on a single sentence in a short conversation.

Even if you are in a passive and disadvantageous position, you will not instinctively lower yourself in another matter.

It was true that he was a prisoner, but the matter that Qin Yuyan invited him to intervene was another matter, and had nothing to do with the cooperation between the three tycoons and Chen Ge Lao...

This is like doing business, for example, Party B takes over a certain business of Party A.

After the completion of the work, if Party A does not pay the bill, it is understandable that Party B would lower its attitude a little in order to get the payment back.

Party A has the final say on this matter and can choose whether to back down based on Party B's current economic situation.

But if Party A mentions another matter at this time and threatens that if you help me get that other thing done, I will pay you the money obediently, and not a penny less.

Many people will be overwhelmed by the delay and will agree rashly.

But this actually plays into the hands of the other party, and they are being taken advantage of.

After all, settlement and another project are two different things. If the work is completed but payment is not made, I can back off, make concessions, cut my own costs, or slowly get the money back.

But another project is another matter. In the negotiation of another project, you are not necessarily in a passive position. You cannot lower your bottom line and lower your posture when facing another commission from the other party just because of the passive position of difficulty in collecting debts for the previous project.

It is true that Chen Boxu is now a prisoner, but that does not mean that he has to lower his posture and obey the Zheng family's words in order to live more comfortably in Jincheng for the next period of time.

People detained him to use him as a handle to threaten Lord Chen. Killing him would not benefit the Zheng family.

The price of rejection is nothing more than making Qin Yuyan unhappy, and she might have a hard time during this period.

But as long as the Zheng family does not intend to completely break up with Chen Ge Lao and do not want to offend the cabinet to death, his life safety will not be in danger...

Qin Yuyan is obviously also an expert at understanding other people's psychology.

"How do you think about it, Mr. Chen?"

"Wait a minute, I seem to be having some difficulty acclimatizing, I need to take it easy!"

Chen Boxu covered his chest and gasped.

Sen Leng glanced at the cheongsam woman not far in front of him from the corner of his eye.

Cognitive bias——[Proportion bias trap].

Qin Yuyan's actions are a standard proportion bias trap.

It's like when you spend 500 yuan in a store and the merchant gives you something worth 50 yuan, but if you can't use it and it has no value, you will feel that it is an encumbrance and a burden. You don't seem to feel anything and don't think you got much benefit. But if you spend more than 500 yuan and the merchant tells you that you can exchange it for a product worth 50 yuan for an additional yuan, most people will subconsciously pay for it out of the mentality of getting a small bargain.

This is the proportionality bias.

When a merchant gives you something worth fifty yuan for free after you spend five hundred yuan, you will subconsciously devalue this thing in your mind because you get it without paying any price. Most people will even suspect that the merchant just randomly slapped a fifty yuan price tag on an originally worthless and unsalable item, but in fact no one buys this thing at all.

And it doesn’t seem to be the product you need, so subconsciously you don’t feel that you are getting much of a bargain.

When you are required to pay one yuan to add an item to the purchase, even if many people know that they can't use this item, the greedy side of human nature will be awakened, and you will feel that if you don't choose to add it to the purchase, you will be at a disadvantage.

Because if I don't add the extra money for one dollar this time, next time when I really need this thing which is basically a gift, I will have to spend fifty dollars!

Even if you don't use this thing, spending one dollar is not a serious financial loss for most people. After all, it's only one dollar, but you get a product priced at fifty yuan, so there is no loss in buying it.

If you don't buy it, it may cause losses in the future, and you will have to spend fifty yuan to buy it when you need it.

The example of projecting into emotion corresponds to that sentence.

Compared to never having it, losing something you once had or will have soon is more regrettable, and the same goes for it...

People always subconsciously exaggerate the negative effects of something they can definitely get, but end up losing because of a certain choice they made.

Of course, it is more complicated when it comes to relationships, because there are also psychological factors such as sunk costs...

Qin Yuyan's words were applying the formula of cognitive proportional bias.

The message revealed by her words seemed to be that you are currently a prisoner, but you have the opportunity to become a guest of honor of the Zheng family after helping our Jincheng Zheng family.

At this time, it seemed that Chen Boxu's predicament had been changed, but for Chen Boxu, even if he was not helped, it seemed harmless.

It was obvious that he should not have been a prisoner. Besides, helping the Zheng family and becoming a prisoner were two different things and were not directly related.

Moreover, becoming a guest of honor in the Zheng family would not bring much benefit to him as the head of an overseas organization with a sensitive identity.

He doesn't want to whitewash himself and have a new positive identity to become an optimistic public figure.

Rather than being the center of attention, Chen Boxu would rather keep a low profile and be an unknown figure.

Then what benefits does it bring to him to be a guest of honor of the Zheng family? Does he need the Zheng family to support him in any public occasion?

No……

From a negative perspective, cognitive proportionality bias can also be seen as one of the reasons why, when a person is struggling in a difficult situation, he is thrown one condition after another and his bottom line is constantly lowered.

To give an inappropriate example, why does the industrial chain of trafficking women to impoverished mountainous areas continue to exist?

Even the number of cases that are exposed is far less than one in ten. Many have already disappeared. Many women have even been trafficked to the mountains. After a long time, when reporters finally find them, they are too lazy to even resist. They simply accept their fate and don’t want to leave the mountains at all...

One reason for this is the anchoring effect, and another is cognitive proportionality bias.

Of course, those bad guys who buy and sell women may not even realize that this operation is actually a cognitive proportion bias in psychology.

For example, when they are first abducted, most women know what their fate will be: losing their virginity and being forced to marry. In most cases, they will fight back desperately.

However, the result was that he was beaten every day and his face was bruised and swollen every day.
