I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me! Chapter 60 - 60 34 The More You Live The Less You Have1

Chapter 60: Chapter 34: The More You Live, The Less You Have_1 Chapter 60: Chapter 34: The More You Live, The Less You Have_1 After the download was completed, Wang Laoju entered the ga at lightning speed.

What first caught his eye was not the ga’s opening UI interface.

But a short piece of CG.

The perspective started from a small drone, overlooking a bustling tropolis.

Here, modern buildings stood tall, and extensive asphalt roads glistened under the sunlight.

Accompanying the drone’s takeoff, the players’ view also followed deep into the bustling city.

After soaring over the busy eight-way interchange, the view lowered, with brightly dressed pedestrians bustling along the clean sidewalks.

The shops on both sides of the comrcial street had their doors wide open, with countless kinds of stores attracting passers-by like a blooming array of flowers.

The low-flying drone grazed a little girl’s cotton candy, lifting up cotton-like wisps that were tossed high into the sky.

But in the next transition, it transford into a sky full of dandelions, through the petals’ gaps, one could see the orange clouds spread across the sky, soft as if they were the cotton candy in the girl’s hand.

At that mont, ti seed to speed up, and nightfall ca swiftly.

Colorful neon lights were lit one after another, casting a warm and soft glow as if the warmth of a million hos weaved together, even the clouds on the horizon seed to refract a rainbow of light.

In an instant, tranquility returned.

Lights dimd, and night deepened.

But the drone was still speeding through the city.

A sudden turn, and suddenly all beca clear, bright light erged.

The azure coast hugged the stretching golden sands; looking into the distance, luxury cruisers loaded with tourists moved slowly.

The drone followed closely behind the cruisers, tracing white waves with its wings, and eventually soared straight up at a right angle, piercing towards the skyline.

Until it disappeared into the clouds.

And at that mont on the horizon, slowly erged five big characters.

“Urban Skyline”

The short CG, which lasted less than a minute, finished playing.

The live stream chat, which was previously flooded with “Start!” ssages, suddenly froze for a mont.

Even Wang Laoju’s expression was sowhat stunned.

Following that, a barrage of “Who are you?” ssages piled up, filling the entire live stream.

This CG was not only exquisitely done but also dreamy, almost perfectly depicting what a bustling and leisurely city should look like.

But players’ previous impressions of Ke Jin were all stuck at the “pixel style ga designer” stage.

Whether it was Iwanna, Goose Duck Kill, or Gotham, which got a little popular last month,

Without exception, they were all 2D pixel style.

Now suddenly here ca this high-budget, high-render CG, which directly made players a bit uncomfortable.

“Holy shit! Ke?”

“Oh no, we’ve got young ones here!”

“Very nice! Is this how you do CG now!”

“Finally not conning players with that shitty pixel style?”

“What’s with the hate for pixel style! /angry/angry”

“Can’t I dislike pixel style? I didn’t play a single one of the previous gas, let’s see how this ga is before I talk.”

To tell the truth, this CG also shocked Wang Laoju.

The quality and standard, whether it was the cara work or rendering, lighting or visual effects, could almost rival those of CGs produced by so of the top dostic companies.

If it were any other company, players might have had to pay just to watch this CG, or if they didn’t pay, they would have to skip it.

And here in “Skyline”, it was given to players for free?

However, with a bunch of viewers waiting to see content, Wang Laoju quickly regained his composure and clicked into the ga interface.

Upon entry, there was a pop-up for choosing a starting map.

Black Forest, Small River, Cliff Bay, Great Plains, and more than a dozen other options.

Since he hadn’t experienced such gas before, Wang Laoju conservatively chose the Great Plains, which the system recomnded for beginners.

After entering the ga, what appeared before him was a green plain outlined with dashed lines.

A rushing river traversed from the upper right of the plain, looking like the city’s source of water.

Besides that, a wide bi-directional interchange freeway was set up outside the screen, teeming with vehicles coming and going, but only two small exits connected inside the dashed area.

One was clearly the exit road, and the other was the entrance road.

The players’ subsequent sources of citizens would be acquired through this outer city freeway.

Nothing else was there; it was green, but looked quite desolate.

Wang Laoju actually quite liked this simple and straightforward start.

Starting from scratch, letting players slowly experience the joy of developnt, that’s the core of a managent ga.

First, he quickly looked through the UI interface, understanding each one, and chose to play while explaining to the audience.

“Alright, dear friends, this is Wang Laoju bringing you the live stream of the brand-new ga ‘Urban Skyline’.”

“As a mayor who loves his citizens like his own children, we need to continuously develop the city to turn this barren land into a bustling and thriving place.”

“First, let’s give our city a resounding na!” Wang Laoju said as he typed in the na of the city.

Future Technology City

“Having picked a na, we’ve also set our future developnt direction. We’ll create a city filled with cutting-edge technology, letting science transform the lives here.”

“We have 70,000 Korang, which I believe is the starting capital in the ga.”

“As the saying goes, to get rich, build roads first. The ga starts us off with two entry/exit points to the highway outside the city. We need to build two roads to and fro, leading those cheap… citizens into our city.”

It must be said, as a ga blogger and strear who has been popular for ten years, Wang Laoju has an exceptional talent for understanding gas.

Though he had never played it before, he was gradually getting the hang of this ga’s core chanics through the UI tutorial.

Build roads, construct buildings, attract tourists from outside to settle, turn them into effective resources, and have them work to generate GDP for the city.

With money earned, you can then build more roads, construct bigger buildings, and unlock more facilities, and so on and so forth.

This is the core gaplay loop of the whole ga.

The most critical aspect throughout the ga is how to make money, lots and lots of money to develop the city!

The barrage, however, caught the slip in his words and wouldn’t let it go.

“You just said ‘cheap citizens,’ didn’t you?”

“A slip of the director’s tongue.”

“I am one of the first citizens heading to Future Technology City by car, Mayor Wang promised a household registration in the city center, I was so overwheld with joy I passed out, just woke up, what’s happened?”

“Nothing, you just keep sleeping, in a couple of days Mayor Wang said he’ll promote you to full Eight Banners status and even throw in a tunnel for your private villa!”

“Wow! Getting the VIP treatnt from the get-go, huh? Deserved for a lord of Future City, all day long it’s nothing but this and nothing but that!”

Ignoring the teasing barrage, Wang Laoju focused on building roads.

The difficulty is not high at the start of the ga, and you only have two things unlocked.

Dual carriageways and residential zones.

Just plan them thodically.

He started by extending two opposing roads from the highway exit outside the city.

Then he continued them, expanding towards the city center.

He laid out the streets in a grid pattern and began to zone the residential areas along the roadside.

After the residential areas were established, two new zones were unlocked: industrial and comrcial zones.

He took a look at the details of the three different zones.

Residential areas, as the na suggests, are where the citizens live, each moving in corresponds to a small house.

Clicking on a house allows you to see the number of inhabitants, their education level, as well as their mood, needs, and willingness to work, among other things.

Comrcial zones, on the other hand, provide convenience, entertainnt, and shopping for the citizens. The more varied the comrcial zone, the happier the citizens.

Industrial zones are where citizens earn their inco.

“Oh!! Guys, I get it! This is a cycle chain,” Wang Laoju realized and began to clear things up for the audience who were still confused.

While speaking, he didn’t idle, starting to plan out the zones.

He turned both sides of the road leading into the city into residential zones.

Let the incoming tourists see our Future City’s birds singing and flowers fragrant.

The middle part beca the comrcial zone, to admire our diverse and vibrant specialty shops.

And finally…

There was no finally—Wang Laoju simply drew a U-shaped road for the tourists to go back where they ca from.

Then he slyly pulled a cheap dirt road from behind the residential area, connecting it overnight to the industrial zone.

That way, all the tourists can see is the residential and comrcial zones, full of laughter and joy, undoubtedly a paradise on Earth.

Their desire to move in and settle would surge.

Once they move in, they won’t be able to leave.

The broad roads are just for the tourists to see.

All the local cheap citizens, get on the dirt road to work!

Damn beautiful!

“Here’s the thing, I’ve co up with the developnt slogan for our Future City. ‘The more tasks, the fewer tasks,'” Wang Laoju had used the initial capital of 70,000 to preliminarily divide the city into several zones, then he eloquently introduced his grand plan to the viewers: “After the citizens move in, they go to the industrial zone to work and earn money. After work, they head to the comrcial zone to spend and have fun, then go back to the residential area with their pockets empty to sleep, and get up the next morning to continue.”

“All the money ends up in the hands of , the mayor. Of course, I, a mayor who loves the citizens like my own children, would certainly not take a pin or thread from the common people.”

“I’ll reinvest everything back into the industrial zone, redouble the efforts, build a few more factories.”

“That way, our citizens will have endless tasks every day, they won’t be able to finish their work, so they’ll have to do overti, and then they won’t have ti to spend, so they can save money. When they’re in their seventies or eighties and they’ve saved enough for retirent, they will no longer need to work.”

“So, ‘The more tasks, the fewer tasks,'” concluded Wang Laoju.

But the screen was suddenly flooded with question marks.

“?????”

“Are you sure that’s how you’re supposed to play the ga?”

“Sothing feels off to .”

“I don’t know why, but it all makes sense, brother.”
