Chapter 114 No matter how hard it is, we can’t hurt the child! (Update 1)
“Hey, why is there a little girl?”
Instructor Ding was a little surprised, because a little girl suddenly appeared in such a game, what do you think? They all feel a little inconsistent.
Although this little girl fits the story background of the game in terms of style and details, it is quite strange that a little girl appears in a business simulation + real-time combat game, right?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Professor Ding can't help but be vigilant.
He subconsciously suspected that this little girl must have some important gameplay function.
Click on the little girl’s avatar, and a new interface appears.
In this interface, the upper half contains the basic data of the little girl, but these basic data are all hidden and cannot be viewed.
Of course, other combat units in the game, such as the guard captain who follows the city lord to defeat the rogues, or the leader of the rogues, also have data panels, but they are all hidden.
Instructor Ding suspects that there should be specific skills in the game to check these statuses, just like the "Star Gazing" in "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon".
So he didn't pay much attention to these data. It was just a little girl, so what kind of outrageous data could there be.
The key is still the operation panel below.
Here, players can perform a series of development operations on the little girl, divided into five categories: life, education, favor, affairs, and special.
"Special class? What a special method."
With doubts, Professor Ding clicked on the first-level menu of "Special Class", but after seeing the second-level option that popped up, he Was startled.
"Indifference", "Abandonment", "Imprisonment", "Execution"!
These options are more extreme than the last.
Lecturer Ding was instantly filled with righteous indignation: "What's going on with this game! Even though I'm the sponsor dad, I have to say, this is too much!
"Such a cute little girl, how can Can you do these excessive operations?
“Brothers, I, Xiao Ding, am a kind person, and I especially care about children. I will not touch any of these options! I love to tell the truth.
"What? Click "Execution" to try?
"Devil, you are all devils.
“Even if I, Professor Ding, starved to death today, died outside, or jumped from the building, I would never do such an outrageous thing!”
Lecturer Ding moved the mouse and checked other things again options.
The other four types of options look much more normal.
Lecturer Ding first clicked on the "Lifestyle" category and raised the little girl's food, clothing, housing and transportation standards to the highest level.
"When children are growing, they are the future of this city. How can they do it if they don't have enough to eat and sleep well? They must be full!
"What? Isn’t it necessary for housing and transportation to be so high?
"Okay, it's really not necessary, but this is my daughter, I can raise her as I want!"
Then, there are "education category", "favorability category" and " "Business Class" is selected.
These three things look different, but they all take up the same amount of time, that is, you can only do one thing at a time.
The education category is mainly for learning knowledge and skills, the affection category is mainly for entertainment and play, and the affairs category is for little girls to help handle various affairs in the town.
After Lecturer Ding thought carefully, he first chose "Education".
“No matter how poor you are, you cannot afford education, and no matter how hard it is, you cannot suffer for your children!
“Of course this entertainment category is also important and is beneficial to children’s physical and mental health, but, we have to be more restrained first and learn Ten times of skill entertainment is enough.
"Think about it, although this child can help me handle affairs in the city, she is still too young and lacks knowledge, so she may be a hindrance, right?
"Let's learn professional knowledge and master management skills first. , and then it’s not too late to help me solve my problems. ”
Lecturer Ding once again made a decision that he thought was most in line with the game mechanism.
If it were some live-action anchors, they might try to let the little girl handle the affairs of the city directly. Or just play it for fun and see what the effect will be.
However, Professor Ding still wants to play through the Eight Classics first, so he plays more conservatively.
After making the choice, a priest or someone who looked like a priest began to teach the little girl, and the little girl also started to listen to the class very obediently.
An icon representing "educational activities" and a countdown also appeared above the little girl's avatar.
Lecturer Ding zoomed out and found that this prompt message could be seen even at the highest viewing angle, and was not hidden like other less important business activities.
This shows that the little girl's related affairs have a very high priority, which is the same as the urgent affairs in the city. As soon as the little girl was settled, a pop-up window appeared on the game screen.
【Housing Problem】
【Homeless people are sleeping on the streets! 】
[City Lord, the last batch of victims who came to flee have not been properly resettled so far. There is a serious shortage of housing in slums and relief shelters. Many homeless people are sleeping on the streets, which has seriously affected our economy. The appearance of the city has also aroused dissatisfaction among some people. 】
There are four different options at the bottom of the panel.
【1. I will provide enough shelter for them all. (↑↑↑)】
【2.I will provide some shelter. (↑)】
【3. This matter will be dealt with later, we have more urgent things to do. (↓)】
【4. Drive the unruly people sleeping on the street back to the relief shelter, or drag them directly to the mines outside to dig! The city abandoned by God does not support idlers! (↓↓↓)]
Lecturer Ding frowned and fell into deep thought.
“Let me see what this arrow represents? Oh, it represents satisfaction.”
Obviously, the impact of these options on satisfaction is basically ordered from high to low.
Providing enough shelters for everyone will certainly greatly improve satisfaction, but then Professor Ding will have to consume a lot of resources to build houses, and after the shelters are repaired, there will definitely be more consumption More food to distribute relief.
Although the last option will lead to a significant decrease in satisfaction, it does solve this problem at a low cost and may even generate revenue.
As for options 2 and 3, they are relatively moderate.
Lecturer Ding thought for a while and chose the second option.
Promising shelters, but not being able to build that many, seems like the best option at the moment.
There is still a large area of open space in the City Abandoned by Gods where new facilities can be built, and there should be resources. Building some shelters is not a big problem.
Furthermore, Professor Ding has just started playing the game, and he doesn’t know whether there will be any serious consequences if the public’s satisfaction drops too low, such as direct rebellion by the people, cooperation with external thieves, and so on.
So it is safer to choose the golden mean.
After clicking on the option, the satisfaction level of the people below increased.
The so-called virtual bar means that the color is obviously different from the original satisfaction progress bar.
A system prompt popped up on the dotted bar. Obviously, the dotted bar will continue to fall, and the farther it goes, the faster it falls. Only when the city lord fulfills his promise and reaches the corresponding conditions will this virtual bar become a real bar and increase to the actual satisfaction level.
Even if the promise made is not fulfilled in the end, a small part of the previous satisfaction will be deducted.
On the left side of the interface, there is a "To-Do List". Currently, there is only one, which is to build 2 shelters.
Lecturer Ding hurriedly clicked on the construction page, found a shelter, and found an open space in the city close to the slum area, and took two pictures in succession.
A shadow of the shelter appeared on the map, and some craftsmen appeared and began construction around the shelter.
Laying foundations, building scaffolding...
During the construction process, resources such as stone and wood in the resource bar at the top of the interface are also continuing to decrease.
It seems that the construction of these buildings takes a long time.
The date and time are on the upper right side of the UI, and symbols such as the sun, moon, cloudy, rain and snow appear alternately.
There is a fast forward button in the lower right corner. Click it to speed up the passage of time.
Instructor Ding roughly estimated the construction period through the construction progress bar and found that the construction in this game will be slightly faster than the real construction in reality, but in the game, it is still too slow.
As soon as the shelter was built, more pending matters appeared.
If there are hungry people who are out of food, you must choose to use food that is not in stock to provide relief; if there are people fleeing the disaster outside the city, you must consider whether to accept them; if there are people in the city who stray into the devil's ruins and go crazy, you must choose whether to block them; Some residents died of mysterious diseases, and they had to choose how to dispose of the bodies; the temperature dropped rapidly, and they had to decide whether to build heating facilities in the city...
While dealing with these emergencies, Lecturer Ding was planning the development of the city, and also He was busy attacking bandits every now and then and checking on the educational progress of the little girl Xia Mi.
