Chapter 61: Chapter 35: The Wicked People’s Heavenly Sacrifice!_1 Chapter 61: Chapter 35: The Wicked People’s Heavenly Sacrifice!_1 Having just spent a considerable amount of money on road construction and building, I was left with just over twenty thousand.

But according to Wang Laoju’s plan, the entire city began to develop slowly but orderly.

The city’s GDP also boasted an impressive 167 Korang/day.

However, it wasn’t long before Wang Laoju identified a problem.

After more factories were added, the citizens had more work, but their morale started to plumt rapidly.

According to the ga rules, citizens must be green in morale for the city to develop steadily and positively.

If it dips to yellow, the citizens will beco sluggish and start to slack off at work.

Once it hits red, they will stop working altogether, idle at ho, and what’s worse, they won’t even consider having children.

As the population ages, the whole city would beco a stagnant pond, lifeless and listless.

And when their morale drops to black, they’ll pack up and leave the city overnight or opt for euthanasia.

Wang Laoju realized that the clever design of this ga was its interconnectedness.

City building required not only money but also a population.

Only when a certain population level was reached could more infrastructure be unlocked.

And these infrastructures allowed to exploit the peasants to my heart’s content while keeping their spirits up.

After thinking for a mont, Wang Laoju said, “I’ve been pondering, as a mayor who treasures citizens as if they were my own children, we need to think of so solutions when the citizens’ morale is low.”

The barrage of comnts responded eagerly.

“True, I already thought that the chairman’s move was a bit outrageous, overworking the citizens like that. How could they stay focused on their work?”

“The chairman is impressive though, he realizes the crux of the problem even without reminders from the comnts…”

Before the viewers finished praising him, Wang Laoju said,

“If these citizens aren’t happy, then let’s demolish their houses. Holess, they will leave Future City overnight on their own. Then we can re-plan the area as a residential district. It seems in this ga, building houses doesn’t actually cost any money. Plan a district, provide utilities, and new residents will move in and build their own buildings. This way, we’ll have a continuous influx of citizens with full morale.”

Barrage: “?????”

“Great, so just get rid of the people with the problems, huh!”

“Loving the citizens as your children, Wang Laoju.”

“To be fair, I think the chairman is fantasizing. The ga design can’t possibly be this outrageous, right? Let’s be reasonable…”

The comnts had barely finished their complaints.

And then, the next mont.

Wang Laoju actually began to do it.

During the day, he ruthlessly exploited citizens to work hard and boost the city’s GDP.

At night, he squinted his eyes specifically to see whose morale turned red.

For those who red-flagged, he went straight to their doorstep.

Pulling out the operational panel’s shovel, he demolished their houses.

Then, the holess citizens, with a /cursing emoticon above their heads, left Future Technology City in despair.

The very next day, new citizens moved in.

Throughout this process, Wang Laoju’s financial panel showed no losses.

The viewers were completely dumbfounded, a flurry of question marks floating on the screen.

“Ah???”

“Wait, can we really play like this?”

“This is outrageous.”

“Is there a possibility that the designers did this deliberately? Think about it, why doesn’t building houses cost anything? It seems only logical that the governnt should fund it. What kind of place would require citizens to pay out of pocket to help the governnt build—oh no, I can’t talk anymore, or I’ll lose my account.”

“I’m dying of laughter, what a ga that reflects reality. The designer is too much; he must have set this up on purpose!”

“Case closed! Baby Ke is the true mastermind behind this!”

“Baby Ke? Carved out! —— This ssage cos from a dispirited citizen of Future City.”

“Baby Ke, be a human being! /Crying/Crying”

It wasn’t just the barrage going crazy with their comnts.

Even Wang Laoju was taken aback.

He had only just pretended to deceive the viewers, blurting sothing out on a whim.

After all, the idea was so preposterous that it couldn’t possibly be realized.

But now… he actually freaking did it?

He began to suspect that tornting these citizens might actually be the correct way to play this ga.

Co to think of it.

Considering that designer’s style.

Be it making Iwanna, Goose Duck Kill, or Gotham, all the gas were uniquely conceptualized and unparalleled on Blue Star before.

And this “Skyline,” after about ten minutes of trial play, Wang Laoju found,

Although its layout was extensive, the gaplay wasn’t much different from standard simulation managent gas; it was just an expansion of territory.

In short, it wasn’t fresh enough.

But looking at it again now…

The fresh aspect of this ga was hidden right here!

Interesting!

“Colleagues, I think I’ve figured out the right way to play this ga,” Wang Laoju said, shedding his previously calm deanor and revealing a smile.

Then,

The viewers in the live stream could only watch as a nightmare descended from the sky, rcilessly enveloping the entire Future Technology City.

After about half an hour of developnt, the population of Future City exceeded 500 for the first ti.

It reached the scale of a small town and unlocked the police and fire stations.

There is a reason why “Skyline’s” citizens are disparaged as lowly subjects.

Originally, without the police and fire stations,

They lived in harmony, bustling with activity at work.

But as soon as these were unlocked, you had no choice but to build them.

They would start to complain imdiately.

As soon as complaints start, the mood value begins to drop.

With the mood value dropping, the city’s GDP also goes down.

But go ahead and build it.

Police stations and fire departnts cost a significant amount of money every day.

This only added insult to injury for the already cash-strapped Future City.

Wang Laoju looked at the 50,000 Korang he had finally managed to save in his pocket.

He calculated the cost of the police and fire stations.

Just building those two would cost 40,000.

The remaining maintenance costs would be 500 Korang per day.

And his current GDP growth rate was only 600 per day.

Following conventional thinking, how many years would it take to unlock the next city level?

So why not try so unconventional operations as hinted by the ga designers?

After so thought, Wang Laoju decided to take a loan of 50,000 Korang from banks in other cities.

He built both the police station and fire departnt on a mountain outside the city.

With the excess loan, he constructed a winding mountain road around the mountain, building several extra spirals like the threads on a lollipop.

This tactic baffled the audience watching the live stream.

Wang Laoju then explained.

“Because dispatching a fire engine consus a large amount of the city’s GDP, let’s do it like this, making the official road far from the urban area.”

“As soon as so lowlife’s house catches fire, we dispatch from here. Then the fire engine will keep circling the mountain road, taking half an hour to arrive. In half an hour, such a big house should have learned to put out the fire itself.”

“Plus, if you don’t build a fire station, it will directly affect the mood of the citizens, but if the fire engine never arrives, only the inhabitants of the burning building will die, and it won’t affect the rest of the citizens.”

The mont the audience heard this, they couldn’t contain themselves and the live chat went wild.

“Discharge! Imdiate discharge! Elizabeth no longer has a chairman’s bed available.”

“‘Only the inhabitants of one building will die.’

“Do you hear yourself? Is this what humans say?”

“Ladies and gents, I have a plan!”

“You have a plan too? Let’s hear it.”

“When rescuing people, we can have the fire engines race the police cars. Whichever departnt is slower becos next week’s City Star! “/Pouting”

“That’s a true city committee mber for you.”

“The chairman would cultivate you overnight as his successor.”

Apart from the jovial and teasing comnts, so viewers seriously questioned the approach.

“I don’t think this is okay… If the ga’s seriously designed like this, then what’s the point… ”

This line of text hadn’t even completely floated across the live stream before.

At that mont, a citizen’s house caught fire.

Future City’s fire engine then mobilized, sounding its siren.

Under the silent gaze of all the viewers.

It indeed circled the mountain road for several minutes.

Until the building was reduced to ashes.

Then the fire engine made a U-turn. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, it steadily drove back to the fire station as if nothing had happened.

Besides, Future City’s GDP didn’t suffer any cost reductions.

Silence.

The entire audience in the live stream was struck silent.

Even Wang Laoju was stunned.

Could this really work?

After the silence, there was an explosive reaction!

The screen filled with relentless chat ssages, piling up layer upon layer, like dark clouds rolling by.

“What???”

“Shocked! We were just joking around, but you can really play the ga like this???”

“Urban Skyline (×), Commoner Offering Ceremony (✓)”

“Alright, alright, this is how you run a simulation ga!”

“Just say if it’s managed or not! Did you save GDP or not?”

“Hahahaha! I’m literally rolling on the floor laughing! This ga is too much!”

“The designer’s imagination is so wild, who thought this would be possible?”

“Incredible! The ga designer is definitely a genius! This is my first ti playing his ga, and I didn’t expect it to be so amusing, I have to download it!”

The effect of Skyline was undeniably explosive.

After just half an hour of live streaming the ga, the popularity of Wang Laoju’s channel shot up by nearly 30%, and many viewers even opened their browsers while watching.

Oh, they were just downloading Skyline.

As the popularity of Wang Laoju’s live stream surged.

Many major strears’ channels began to see chat ssages requesting them to try playing Skyline.

The strears were indifferent at first.

It’s just another simulation ga, and on Blue Star’s gaming market, it’s considered old news. What new tricks could it possibly have?

But as one or two checked out Wang Laoju’s live stream and watched briefly, they were all dumbfounded.

The ga! It had such a sensational effect!

The space for creativity was trendously high!

The designer’s imagination was too vast!

Consequently, they quickly returned to their own channels with a tacit agreent and started up the ga that redefined the ‘simulation’ genre.

And so.

After the phenonon of Goose Duck Kill, a new live-streaming feast began to spread like a virus across all major platforms, gaining montum after nearly two months of dormancy!
