Chapter 83 Second Update
Chi Yizheng downloaded information related to the former Thorns Empire and city-states from the game's database.
While the technology in this other world was still at the medieval level, thanks to the presence of supernatural powers and "gods," the construction techniques and living standards of the upper classes there were quite advanced, almost catching up to modern Earth. Therefore, despite being a kingdom dating back thousands of years, the construction of the city-states was quite advanced. Especially at that time, they had to guard against waves of monsters and attacks from other exotic races, so the walls and houses were built taller and more sturdily. At least when Chi Yizhen opened the picture, he admitted to being shocked.
"If this were restored, it would be so magnificent!"
But this was impossible. A single city in the Thorns Empire was as big as Jin'an City, not to mention the entire empire. Chi Yizhen certainly couldn't replicate it all. Even if he had so many points to squander, Paradise didn't have that much land!
"We originally borrowed money to rent 1,000 mu of land, and now we still have over 900 mu available."
The Childlike Amusement Park that Grandma left him was initially a tiny amusement park, less than three acres. Later, after Chi Yizhen's repeated expansion, it now spans 70 acres. While Fantasy Park is still small compared to other mid-sized parks, if Grandma could see the park as it is now, she would surely be delighted!
Thinking of grandma, Chi Yizheng's mouth curled up.
"Since it's a city, it needs to be large. Otherwise, there won't be enough tourists to enter, and it won't be lively. Let me think about how much land I need." Chi Yizhen first circled an area on the map, determining the general outline, and then decided which parts of the old image of the Thorns Empire to embed.
"To enhance the sense of immersion and make it look more like a once-thriving city, we couldn't just replicate the castles and towers of the aristocracy, the buildings of the less affluent, and the houses of the poor. We also had to replicate some of them."
"Hmm...we need to replicate a few more life scenes and put more treasure chests in there. We have to give some encouragement to the hard-working tourists."
"Let's divide it into the first, second, and third rings based on social class. The outer ring has the largest and densest buildings, the second ring is the affluent area, and the first ring is the central, the king's palace. I think King Thorn would be a good fit there."
"The city can't just be about buildings. Tourists will get visually fatigued if they see too much, and it won't help the red-eyed elves move around. We need to leave more greenery, gardens, meadows, lakes, and so on, to enrich the city-state's environment. After all, it was once the most powerful empire, so the city-state can't be too shabby. We can also add some thorn bushes, which the red-eyed elves like..."
Chi Yizhen kept busy and muttering, while the game system watched silently without saying a word. Hours passed like this, and Chi Yizhen finally made a preliminary plan. He looked at the map in front of him with satisfaction, "A city-state covering an area of 300 acres, what do you think?"
Three hundred acres of land is equal to 200,000 square meters, which is approximately equal to 121 football fields.
This was Chi Yizheng's first time building such a large project, and he couldn't help but ask for your opinion.
Game: [First of all, players don’t have that many points. ]
Chi Yizhen: "That's fine, you can earn points while building!"
Moreover, building the park will earn him experience points. Now the level of tourists is still too low. If he relies on tourists to give him experience points, Chi Yizheng doesn’t know how long it will take to reach level 25.
Although this speed was already very fast, in another world, even the most talented extraordinary person would have to endure ten years to reach level 25. But the hole was getting bigger day by day, and in the past few days it was almost as thick as a bucket. Chi Yizhen really felt a sense of urgency.
This large project covering an area of 300 acres will probably allow him to directly reach level 100 after it is completed.
Seeing Chi Yizhen's confident and resolute attitude, the game remained silent, and Chi Yizhen didn't need it to speak. "Although the area is large, in order to consider the tourists' experience, each visitor needs a fairly large venue. This city can only accommodate 5,000 people at a time."
Although the park can currently accommodate 20,000 visitors per day, these visitors enter in stages, which is not as large as the capacity of Mischief City. Once Mischief City opens, the park's peak ticket sales should be able to increase to 30,000.
However, now is not the time to think about that. "Yugi, how many points do I need to build the Prank City?"
Game: [Calculating... Calculation completed, a total of 50 million points required.]
Chi Yizhen hissed, "For such a big project, there's no discount?"
Game: [We've already removed the decimals for you! ]
Chi Yizhen: ...
Well, even a fraction of fifty million is a large sum of money.
He opened the player information panel and began to check how many points he had left.
After the parking lot and visitor center were built, his points were reduced to 200,000. From the 26th to today, September 4th, 200,000 points were credited to his account every day, and his current balance is 200 points.
Chi Yizhen frowned. He had previously thought 200,000 points a day was a lot, but now, facing a major project, he realized how slow it was to earn points. If he continued like this, it would take him more than 200 days to save up 50 million!
This won't do. I have to find a way to speed up the earning of points. I have been trying to persuade the game indirectly for a long time, but the game just won't give in. It seems that there is no other way to increase points except to increase the number of tourists who buy tickets to enter the park.
Chi Yizhen leaned back in his chair, folding his hands together, "Game, what if I go back to my old job and mass-produce 'holographic glasses' and sell them overseas?"
The game was silent.
Chi Yizhen continued, "By wearing glasses marked by the park, they can see invisible monsters and gain the power to fight them. Isn't this a contribution to saving the world? Doesn't the money they paid for the glasses count as admission?"
The park is small now, and it certainly can't accommodate many visitors. But isn't it said at the beginning of the game that the park is the player's kingdom of God? What god stays in one place while preaching? What's the difference between sending messengers out to preach and selling glasses labeled with the park logo all over the world?
Chi Yizhen's words were well-reasoned and the game found it difficult to refute them. So, after a moment's silence, the game announced, "Ding! Congratulations to the player for independently exploring a new way to earn points. However, glasses are different from park tickets, and there are cases of improper use. Therefore, the points earned from selling a pair of glasses will be deducted..."
"Wait." Chi Yizhen stopped him before he could explain how the points were calculated. "Are you trying to say that the points earned from selling a pair of glasses are less than those earned from selling a ticket?"
game:……
Chi Yi was really unhappy. "Game, we've known each other for two months after all. We're familiar strangers. You can't cheat me! Are you worried that someone will hoard a large number of glasses when you say unreasonable use? Don't worry, there are many ways to solve it. Or maybe you're worried that someone will buy glasses but can't use them to fight monsters because the environment is too safe. Then let me ask you, do all the tourists who bought tickets go to fight monsters one by one? Aren't there still some who go straight to restaurants, lakes and hot springs after entering? Don't you count points for such tourists?"
He shook his finger. "You can't play favorites, Yugi? If you do that, it'll be hard for me to handle. After all, they'll all be my followers in the future. If you don't give them points fairly, I'll become biased over time. Tell me, shouldn't a true god love all beings equally?"
game:……
All along, the game system had always been a support for Chi Yizhen. At critical moments, the game system would take the lead, such as issuing tasks and requiring Chi Yizhen to do something. But now, for the first time, the game was suppressed by Chi Yizhen.
After all, it is a "God Cultivation Game" and its function does not allow it to lead players in a biased direction. Obviously, Chi Yizheng is no longer the young man who knew nothing at the beginning. He has figured out the rules of the game and has begun to call on the game system to "turn over and take charge."
Perhaps feeling a bit frustrated, it took a while before the game finally released new rules. [Ding! The player's demands are well-founded, legal, and compliant. New rules are now being issued. Points for glasses sold overseas are calculated the same way as tickets. Each pair of glasses sold will earn 10 points.]
Chi Yizhen: “No, that’s not right.”
game:? ? ?
Chi Yizhen said earnestly, "Games, your wording isn't accurate enough. It's not just sales overseas, domestic sales should also be counted. What if those monsters from abroad sneak across the ocean and come here?"
Game: [Players don't have to worry about this. As you can imagine, the country will take action.]
Chi Yizhen nodded and said, "You have a point, but there is always a loophole. What if one of them slips through the net? Besides, there must be demand in our country! We can't just sell it abroad and not domestically, right? Then domestic fans will definitely say that Paradise is biased towards foreigners! You don't want the day when the gods cultivated by Paradise are accused of being treated differently by believers, do you?"
game:……
Chi Yizheng was in a good mood as he finally achieved his goal, and he finally let go of the matter that was weighing on his heart.
Yes, Chi Yizheng has always been a little worried about the situation abroad, although he always says that he is just an ordinary citizen and that he only needs to manage the theme park well. The country will take action in major events!
But he knew in his heart that from the moment he bound himself to this game, he was no longer just an ordinary person. He gained power, fame and fortune, but of course he also had to shoulder responsibilities.
While the foreign cave could only produce a few level 1 and 2 monsters, they were invisible to ordinary people, and even with guns, they wouldn't know where to shoot. Furthermore, the number of extraordinary people abroad was clearly not sufficient to protect civilians. Furthermore, based on the information obtained from Chen Wangping, the foreign cave was either unguarded or the guards were incapable of doing so.
Getting a pair of glasses can also help those overseas protect themselves. After all, level 1 and 2 monsters are equivalent to wild beasts, and ordinary people can kill them if they can see or touch them.
After resolving this matter, Chi Yizhen relaxed a little and sent a message to the work group, "The leaders of the provincial scenic spot selection will be here in a few days. Everyone, please work harder. I will give you bonuses after you are selected!"
As soon as the message was sent, countless people responded immediately. Just looking at their replies, you can feel their full work enthusiasm...
