I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man.

Chapter 35 The more you live, the less you live

After the download was completed, Wang Laoju entered the game at the speed of light.

The first thing that catches the eye is not the game's opening UI interface.

It's a short piece of CG.

The perspective begins with a small drone overlooking a prosperous city.

There are clusters of modern buildings here, and the wide asphalt roads extending in all directions sparkle under the sunlight.

As the drone takes flight, the players' perspective also follows the drone as it goes deep into this bustling city.

After jumping over the endless flow of Baxiang Overpass, I lowered my perspective and saw brightly dressed citizens hurriedly coming and going on the clean sidewalks.

The commercial streets on both sides have their doors wide open, and countless types of shops are attracting passing customers like a hundred flowers blooming.

The wings of a low-flying drone brushed against the marshmallow in a little girl's hand, raising silky cotton wadding and being thrown high into the sky.

But in the next scene, it turned into dandelions all over the sky. Through the gaps between the petals, you can see the orange-red clouds covering the sky, as soft as the marshmallows in the girl's hands.

At this time, time seemed to be spun forward, and night fell quickly.

Colorful neon lights were lit one after another, and thousands of lights were weaving a warm soft light at this moment. Even the other side of the clouds in the night sky seemed to be refracted with colorful light.

In an instant, silence returned.

The lights are dim and the night is deep.

But drones are still flying through the city at high speed.

After a sudden turn, the vision suddenly opened up and a white light emerged.

The turquoise coast is close to the continuous golden sandy beach. From a distance, luxury cruise ships full of tourists are slowly sailing.

The drone followed closely behind the cruise ship, its wings outlined white waves, and finally rose into the sky at a straight [-]-degree angle, piercing the sky.

Until it plunges into the clouds and disappears.

At this moment, five big characters slowly appeared on the horizon.

"City skyline"

It takes less than 1 minute of CG, after the presentation is completed.

The live broadcast room was still filled with messages saying 'Start! 'The barrage suddenly had a momentary gap.

Even Wang Laoju's expression was a bit dull.

What follows is layer upon layer of 'Who are you?' '' barrages filled the entire live broadcast room.

This CG is very exquisite and dreamy. It almost captures everything a prosperous and leisurely city should look like.

However, players' previous impressions of Kejin were all at the stage of being a 'pixel style game designer'.

Whether it’s Iwanna, Goose and Yasha, or “Brother Dan” which became a hit last month

Without exception, they are all 2D pixel style.

Now suddenly there is such a large-scale, high-rendering and high-precision CG, which directly makes players feel a little uncomfortable.

"Fuck! Carve?"

"It's broken, there's Xiaodai!"

"Okay, okay! This is CG, right?"

"Finally no longer need to fool players with that pixelated style?"

"Pixel Wind, what's wrong with you!/Angry/Angry"

"Isn't it okay if you don't like the pixel style? I haven't played any of the previous games. Let's see how this game does."

To be honest, this CG also impressed Wang Laoju.

This quality and standard, whether it is camera operation or rendering, light and shadow, or visual motion compensation, are simply comparable to CG produced by several top domestic manufacturers.

If you switch to another manufacturer, players may have to pay to watch this CG alone. If you don't pay, you will have to skip it.

The result is "Skyline", free for players to watch?

However, because a group of viewers were still waiting to see the content, Wang Laoju quickly recovered her emotions and clicked into the game interface.

When you first log in, there will be a pop-up window to choose the starting map.

Black forests, small rivers, cliff bays, great plains, and more than a dozen options.

Since she had never been exposed to this type of game, Wang Laoju very conservatively chose Great Plains, which the system recommends for novices to try.

After entering the game, what comes into view is an emerald green plain framed by a dotted grid.

A surging river runs through the upper right side of the plain and looks like the water source for the entire city.

In addition, a wide two-way interchange highway is set up outside the screen, with a constant flow of vehicles going back and forth on it, but only two small openings are opened to connect to the dotted line.

Obviously one is the way out of the city and the other is the way into the city.

The player's next source of citizens will be obtained through this highway outside the city.

There is nothing else. Although it is green, it looks very desolate.

Wang Laoju really likes this simple and capable start.

Starting everything from scratch and allowing players to slowly experience the pleasure of development is the core of management games.

First, I took a quick look at the UI interface, and after understanding it one by one, I chose to explain it to the audience while playing.

"Okay dear friends, here is the live content of the new game "City Skylines" brought to you by Wang Laoju."

“As a mayor who loves his people, we need to continue to build the city to make this seemingly desolate place prosperous.”

"First of all, give our city a resounding name!" Wang Laoju entered the city name as she spoke. "Future Technology City"

"After finishing the name, we have also decided on the next development direction to build a future city where technology is everywhere, and let technology change life here."

"We have [-] colones, which should be the starting capital in the game."

"As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. The game gives us two entrances and exits to the highway outside the city at the beginning. We need to build two round-trip roads first to introduce the lowly... citizens outside the city to us. city ​​of."

It has to be said that as a game blogger and anchor who has been popular for ten years, Wang Laoju has an extraordinary talent for understanding games.

Although he has never played it before, through the guidance of the operating UI, he has gradually figured out the core gameplay of this game.

Build roads, build buildings, attract foreign tourists to settle in, turn them into effective resources for yourself, train them to work and create GDP for the city.

After you have money, you can build more roads, build bigger buildings, unlock more building facilities, and so on.

This is the core gameplay idea of ​​the entire game.

The top priority throughout the entire game is how to make money, how to make a lot of money to develop the city!

However, the barrage found a flaw in his word order and said reluctantly.

"You just said untouchable, right?"

"The director's mouth is slippery."

"I was one of the first citizens to drive to the Future Science and Technology City. Mayor Wang promised me a registered residence in the city center. I fainted and just woke up. What happened?"

"No, you continue to sleep. In two days, Mayor Wang will promote you to the Eight Banners and equip your private villa with a tunnel!"

"Hey! Are you treated like shit when you get here? As expected of the master of Future City, he has nothing but nothing to do all day long!"

Ignoring the ridicule from a group of barrages, Wang Laoju concentrated on building the road.

The game is not very difficult at the beginning, and there are only two things to unlock.

Two carriageway roads, residential areas.

Just a step-by-step plan.

He first pulled out two roads flowing in opposite directions at the highway entrance outside the city.

Then extend the paving in your own city center lot.

The residential areas are planned in rows and rows of tic-tac-toe shapes along the roadside.

After the residential area was completed, two new areas were unlocked, the industrial area and the commercial area.

I looked at the details of three different areas.

As the name suggests, the residential area is a place for citizens to live. Each citizen who moves in corresponds to a small house.

Click on the house to see the number of people living in the house, education status, mood, needs, work willingness, etc.

The commercial district is a place that provides convenience, entertainment, and consumption for citizens. The more variety there is in the commercial district, the happier the citizens will be.

Industrial areas are where citizens earn income.

"Oh! Brothers, I understand! This is a circular chain." Wang Laoju suddenly realized and began to give guidance to the still confused audience.

While talking, he was not idle and started planning the area.

Both sides of the road into the city will be planned directly into residential areas.

Let the tourists who come in take a look at the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in our future city.

The middle part is the commercial area. Take a look at our characteristic merchants blooming with flowers.

At last……

There is no end, Wang Laoju directly pulled out a U-shaped road section, allowing tourists to go back to where they came from.

Then they secretly pulled a low-cost dirt road from the back of the residential area to the industrial area overnight.

In this way, tourists see only residential and commercial areas of the city, filled with laughter and laughter everywhere. It is undoubtedly a paradise on earth.

Their desire to move in will increase.

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

The main road is for tourists.

All the local untouchables walked the dirt road to work for me!

Dead beauty!

"It's like this. I have already thought of the development slogan of our future city. The more you live, the less you live!" Wang Laoju has used the start-up capital of 7 yuan to initially divide the city into several areas, and then spoke eloquently He introduced his plan to the audience: "After the citizens move in, they will first go to work in the industrial area to make money, then go back to the commercial area to spend money and have fun, and finally go back to the residential area to sleep with a clean face. The next morning Get up and continue.”

"All the money has gone to me as the mayor. Of course, a mayor like me who loves the people like a son will definitely not take away a needle or a thread from the people."

"I invested everything back into the industrial zone, super doubled it, and built a few more factories."

"In this way, our citizens will have endless work to do every day. If they can't finish the work, they will have to work overtime, and then they will have no time to consume, so they can save money. When they are 80 or [-] years old, they will have enough pension savings. , you don’t have to work anymore.”

"So, the more you live, the less you live." Wang Laoju finished her words.

Question marks filled the screen.

"????"

"Are you sure this is how the game is played?"

"Why do I feel wrong?"

"I don't know why, but I feel like it's all Brother Li."
