Damian jumped out of the car and glanced at the surrounding buildings, frowning.

These rows of houses are like containers, as if they were copied from a main body, and their appearance presents a uniformity that is terrifying when you think about it carefully. He didn't recognize their function at first glance. From the outside, they are just small houses with extremely high similarity, but here... it's too desolate.

It's not the desolation of the buildings, which are crammed full, but the fact that there is no trace of human habitation at all. The simplest evidence is that there is no domestic garbage on the streets.

Damian commented from his experience as an assassin: "A good place to dump the body."

There aren't even any surveillance cameras or street lights here.

The driver nearby looked at the child in horror.

Professor Daisy was pushed in a wheelchair by Kane. Compared with the others, the professor was very happy. She said, "The ground here is good and very flat."

The attending physician who got off the car right after me said: “…” There’s no need to force yourself to find the advantages.

The professor said: "We have been living here for a while to experience the living environment firsthand. You can ask for anything you need."

The doctor frowned and said first, "Then we need a map of the town. The nutritionist will prepare food for you, but other people also need to eat, so are there any restaurants with good food nearby?"

In a town like this, he didn't expect to have any famous restaurants; just being able to eat was enough.

Five minutes later, the doctor looked at the newly uploaded electronic map of South Hinckley on his phone and exclaimed, "What is this place? Why are we surrounded by toilets!?"

No wonder he lost his composure, because the map looked fake.

What kind of town has only a bus station, residential areas, a hospital, and a school, and the rest of the town is filled with public toilets? Damn public toilets! What was the point of building so many public toilets? Did the construction workers stuff their heads with formaldehyde?

The real construction worker beside him yawned and waved to the student to push him into the room.

Professor Daisy lived on the first floor, so the doctors, dietitians, and nurses centered around her all lived on the first floor. However, the first floor here was only slightly higher than the first floor to facilitate wheelchairs getting up and down, which made the attending physician unhappy - he owned his own villa and high-rise apartment in London and had never lived in such a shabby place. Moreover, this was an island, and if the sea water rose, living on the first floor would be very dangerous. Normally, the sea breeze would bring annoying moisture.

But as their boss, Professor Daisy was determined, and they couldn't object.

The nurse who went out for a walk came back with a helpless and numb tone: "...There are really public toilets around here."

Although there is no smell, won’t your scalp feel tingling if you live like this?

The driver came over and asked, "There is no supermarket or vegetable market nearby. Should we go to the market to buy food?"

——Weiwei is thinking about this problem.

When they came over, Weiwei had just assigned a room on the second floor of the residential area to William, but William had no reaction.

Then this group of people started to complain more.

Weiwei suddenly realized: Claw Assassins and players who don’t need to eat don’t seem to be considered normal people... Only real humans have to experience it first to know how to change the layout of the town.

She let William do what he wanted, practiced driving when she was bored, then divided the outermost layer of the residential area into commercial streets, bought an upgradeable supermarket, and called the violin.

After becoming the boss of Iceberg Construction Company, Violin's fate took a strange turn.

He is a Canadian who immigrated to the United States. His parents are workers and live in the Odisburg area, which is a large industrial area. Many companies, such as the Black Mask Steel Plant and the pharmaceutical production company, are set up there. The underground river is flowing with the corpses of small animals used for experiments and pungent chemicals. The violin was tired of his childhood with strange smells, so after his parents died of illness one after another, he wandered around the main city to work.

Fortunately, because of his good looks and his ability to speak nonsense, he was quickly appreciated by the penguin people. It was not easy to become a switchboard operator in the boss's smuggling business. This showed that he knew the penguin people's industrial operation mode and the general commodity circulation, and knew a lot of secrets.

So at first, he just wanted to surrender to the new boss in secret.

It is impossible for someone like him to climb into the upper class. Even if he wears expensive suits, he cannot hide his stink like a stray dog. So he wants to be a vicious dog in the hands of others instead of being the boss himself.

Then he took his men to the East District.

He tried to please the little girl in the boss's hand, but the mysterious boss didn't care at all. The violinist first undertook construction work in cooperation with the government, and then took on some outsourced work. Then, when the gargoyles were flying, he thought of peripheral products and souvenirs. Finally, he signed a contract with the little girl and bought a manufacturer to start making vigilante peripherals. When Children's Day came, in addition to distributing candies for free, he also opened a toy store and a shopping mall opposite the company's main building. Parents who brought their children to exchange balloons, if they took the candies handed over by the front desk, would go to the shopping mall opposite based on the recommendation of the front desk, and then the children would be attracted by the toys and unable to walk, and would inevitably consume.

Although all industries are still in their infancy, they have already provided stable jobs for nearly a thousand people and paid temporary jobs for thousands more.

Initially, the violin just wanted to occupy the East Side and turn this land into a broken rose dedicated to Mr. C. However, now, he seems to have "occupied" the East Side in another way.

If Iceberg Construction Company goes bankrupt, these unemployed people will be displaced, new crimes will arise, and countless new criminal groups will be created.

The violin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the seventh floor of the company.

There used to be no windows here, and the wind could blow through the entire building. A homeless person who came here could jump out of the window and end his life quickly and conveniently.

It was at this time that Weiwei called.

"Supermarket? Okay... okay..."

After hanging up the phone, Violin called his secretary over, but was silent for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."

Violin knew who had given him the life he had today, and who had given him the opportunity to develop his company safely in the East District, a lawless area. So, if he had to make some decisions, he thought it would be more serious if he went there in person.

Are the supply channels the same as the large supermarkets in South Hinckley?

Of course he could find a suitable source of goods, but wasn't South Hinckley nearly empty recently? There seemed to be no one in the town, wouldn't a large supermarket have an oversupply?

…

Upgrading the small supermarket to a large supermarket almost used up all of Weiwei's tokens. With a little bit left, she bought a watchtower and put it in a corner of the town.

"Alas," Weiwei sighed softly, "fear is not enough to spend."

The "fear" energy that is currently driving the gargoyles is partly generated by the citizens, but much less than before, and the other part comes from the long, silent night.

The fear produced by some people is limited, especially when they have been tortured repeatedly. Even if Weiwei used other methods, such as burning, flooding, freezing cities, and even fear gas, the fear they produced became less and less. Weiwei took the time to read Scarecrow's fear theory for this purpose.

What's the result?

cut.

Scarecrow, garbage.

After spitting on the scarecrow, the number of gargoyles flying over Gotan did decrease. Most of them were crouching below, holding on to balloons, while the ones flying in the sky with the balloons were the Tin Soldiers. Fortunately, the residual power of the gargoyles was still there, and not many guys dared to commit crimes in the Gotan City that had just been combed through.

The system prompts that after upgrading the watchtower, you can get a [Monitoring Room]. There is no need to install surveillance in the town. You can see everything happening on the streets of the town from the watchtower, as if there is an invisible eye hanging in the air.

However, she only had a pitiful 30,000-odd fireworks sticks in her hand, so she had to wait a little longer.

Some of the people Daisy brought chose to go to the city to buy food, while others chose to order takeout. Although the living area was surrounded by public toilets, fortunately, those public toilets had not been used.

If you can take care of water, electricity, transportation and food, living here won't be a big problem. At least it's quieter than the city.

——This is how the medical staff comforted themselves.

Professor Daisy took out the parchment that the Assassin's League had assigned her to complete, locked the room and began to continue her translation work. Not long after, Vivi climbed in through the window and sat next to her cello.

After the settlement at the end of May and the game update, she worked non-stop for more than ten hours.

Now that she had rested for a while, she began to feel the difference after the update.

The biggest change is——

"The style of painting has changed," Weiwei walked over and touched Professor Daisy's hair, "and the texture has changed too."

Before the game was updated, the realism of the graphics and the feel of the game in the hands had an awkward "dullness", constantly reminding players that this was just a game, not reality. But after the update, the 95% realism made it almost the same as reality.

Weiwei squatted down and stared at Daisy Diamond in front of her.

Daisy drew her attention away from the book, and Vivi's face was reflected in her lead-gray eyes.

This made Weiwei feel as if she was seen - she was being watched.

She smiled and said, "…Whether it's a vest or the real body, my character is very good-looking."

Thanks to the game for not making her face look ugly after the update, otherwise she would have complained.

As for the question of realism... Weiwei doesn't think she will immerse herself in the virtual world and fall in love with a game character. What's the difference between that and a child who names dolls, says hello to furniture, and believes that elves exist in the world?

She placed her face close to Xiaohao's, smelling the faint and distant scent of daisies on his hair, and opened the system interface.

After the system update, the reputation module was independent and each vest had a separate reputation rating.

"ABCD attributes..." Weiwei suddenly realized, "Is that so? These attribute evaluations are not the character's own personality at all, but other people's perception of the character."

Cognition determines attributes and has an impact, but Weiwei herself is a player, so her attributes have nothing to do with the game or the NPC's cognition of her, and naturally there is no corresponding impact.

Someone knocked on the door. "Professor, the takeout has arrived. Do you want anything to eat?"

How long has it been? What did you order that was delivered so quickly?

Weiwei jumped out of the window and happened to meet a delivery man who was about to leave. This delivery man was even more outrageous -

"So you walked here?" the doctor asked.

"Ah? No," the boy frowned and looked at his phone, "I came here by bike and parked my car at the entrance to town."

He looked a little strange, then rubbed his eyes and said, "Is your map...buggy?"
