Although the design made by He Fang could not be implemented immediately after a quick review, He Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that the nightmare seeds would not affect the people in the city.
He can have more time to modify the defense building drawings and design the entire drawing to be more in line with the current urban situation.
He Fang made himself a cup of oatmeal milk tea, put it on the table and searched for information on the Internet.
He Fang has been maintaining the city in "Restart of the Ruins" very carefully. Having seen so many miserable situations of other players, He Fang has been extremely cautious and prudent in building his own city. Although the population has been growing slowly, the births and deaths have basically reached normal levels. He Fang has been working hard to upgrade hospitals, police stations, drainage, electricity and other infrastructure, but has never considered defense.
"If possible, I don't want to fight. There are not many people here to begin with, and it would be sad if a few more died." In He Fang's eyes, the little N-PCs that kept appearing and disappearing in the city all had their own unique cuteness. Very interesting and incredible things often happened. The little N-PCs would quarrel and cause gatherings, some would do good deeds, and some vehicles would give way to people crossing the road.
Sometimes when I’m in a bad mood, I can use the God’s perspective to watch the little people in the game trying to live their lives for a long time.
Now that we know that the Nightmare Forest is harmless to residents for the time being, we should focus on upgrading defenses instead of expanding land. However, the city’s overpopulation is indeed a huge problem. If the population is too large, resulting in a decrease in happiness, it is very likely that N-PC will be lost.
The entire area around the city is covered with Nightmare Forests. The current funding should be enough to open up new areas the next time the game goes online, but once new areas are opened, there will be no money to improve defenses.
Or maybe we can adjust the tax to make a quick buck? What a bad idea.
But in the end He Fang still shook his head. This kind of loss-making approach would reduce the loyalty of residents. Now it seems that loyalty is a very useful thing.
There are too many things to consider when building a city. He Fang decided to just let it go and think about everything tomorrow. He ate another packet of instant noodles and went back to his bedroom to sleep happily.
The first thing He Fang did when he went online the next day was to check the statistics of events in the city, and suddenly he found an extremely full statistics list.
Since the online launch of "Xu Wu Restart", the statistics list has been relatively normal, and there have been basically no major events.
For example, there are tasks for ordinary residents such as "Mr. Xu from the north of the city moves his family to the center of the city", "Ms. Wang thinks the park is too small and hopes there will be a bigger park for square dancing", and "The waiting time in the hospital is too long and hopes to add more windows". This type of task can usually be used as a reference to adjust the layout of the entire city and make urban planning more reasonable.
Among these statistics today, there is the information that 'temporary resident Min Zhizhou participated in the research of the institute', and there are several of them. The time progress in the game is different. According to the statistics, Min Zhizhou actually participated in countless research institutes, and he is almost living in the institute.
In addition to these events, there are actually quite a few more unit events.
'The institute hopes to establish a biological research base far away from the city.'
'After careful consideration, the police department decided to set up a prison. Please request the establishment of a prison.'
'After careful consideration, the police department decided to set up a defense department and requested the establishment of an armed department.'
'The municipality proposes the establishment of a high court.'
'The Ministry of Public Security suggested setting up temporary gathering places for residents.'
…
Looking at the series of 'proposals' and 'applications' that came in, He Fang's expression was extremely complicated.
After the news that the Nightmare Forest was harmless spread, things went from quiet to bustling in an instant.
These information almost engraved the words "urgent need for land expansion" in his eyes.
But from these opinions, He Fang also saw the imminent changes in the city. Although he wanted to fight steadily, he didn't know whether there would be any city outside the Nightmare Forest that would suddenly come into contact with them. He wanted to grab multiple hands, but...
He Fang rubbed his eyebrows in pain.
There is demand everywhere now, but he is facing a huge difficulty.
He! No money!
He really doesn't have any money at all, which makes him very worried.
Although the game is designed based on a town and has a complete economic system, the entire town is not actually wealthy. The fundamental reason is that the game setting of "Rebirth of the Ruins" is actually a wasteland reconstruction.
There are no other tradable objects, all funds are developed internally, and all funds are basically the result of inflation.
Although the game is not so realistic that all the required materials must have a specific terrain, its difficulty is very high.
It is said that if you want to get rich you must first build roads, but this does not work in "The Ruins Never Restart".
In this game, the way to make the economy develop rapidly is to increase the population, increase demand, expand the city, expand the buildable land by driving internal economic development, develop industry with appropriate manufacturing plants, and in order to ensure normal resources, agriculture must also have a certain scope.
Anything that fails to fit in with the overall town process will undergo a change in value. If the market economy is unbalanced, it is likely to lead to an economic collapse, so He Fang has always been very cautious in town construction.
In order to vigorously develop the economy in a short period of time, the best way now is to expand the land as required by the statistics. However, the expanded land cannot meet the needs of urban management, which is a real headache for He Fang.
He Fang simply went online. He wanted to consult the only information source, N-PC Min Zhizhou, about something.
As soon as He Fang came online, he saw that he was still the family of three as before, but now the three of them should not be at home. He Fang put on a hat and sneaked out through the window. He really couldn't stand this enthusiastic family of three.
Using the map to search, he found out that Min Zhizhou was actually in the research institute. Thinking of the series of information about Min Zhizhou cooperating with the research, He Fang felt his scalp tingling instantly.
Wouldn't that group of researchers really treat Min Zhizhou as a research subject and do anything excessive?!
He Fang went into the laboratory and found Min Zhizhou's location through the map. However, the place he entered was an observation room separated from Min Zhizhou's laboratory by glass. Several researchers were recording data there, and the only one who turned back was the young researcher.
"Lord City Lord!" The young researcher's eyes lit up instantly and he came forward. "It is such an honor to see you again."
He Fang took two steps back calmly. He always felt that the researchers looked at him too eagerly, which made him feel very insecure, especially this young researcher.
He Fang once again clicked on the young researcher's profile. The researcher's name was Zhu Yan, and he was the director's son. He was very young, and what shocked He Fang was Zhu Yan's loyalty. The last time he looked at it, it was only over 6,000, but now it has exceeded 8,000.
It was the first time that He Fang saw such a rapid increase in loyalty, and he was shocked. Before he entered the city, his loyalty had increased, but it still did not exceed 4,000. Zhu Yan alone could raise it by several percentage points.
At this moment, a cute female voice, sounding very young, came through the electronic device: "Zhu Yan, I'm ready, shall we start the experiment?"
The moment Zhu Yan's eyes left He Fang, he returned to his rational and cold state. His voice was calm and he turned on the voice chat: "Okay, let's start the experiment."
Experiment? What experiment?
He Fang stuck his head out and looked through the observation glass.
In the huge, snow-white, empty laboratory, Min Zhizhou stood in a simple white coat. His expression was tense as if he was facing a powerful enemy, his eyes were sharp and his mind was extremely focused, as if he was facing a ferocious beast that could tear him apart at will.
But...standing in front of Min Zhizhou was a girl who was less than one-third of Min Zhizhou's size. The girl's legs were shaking as if she was afraid.
The two men, jealous and fearing each other, were confronting each other with the same weapons.
He Fang: “?”
