"A great era, what a great era, whose great era," the radical slogan "Players are the productivity" has been shouted in many places. At the latest economic development report meeting, the National Development and Reform Commission reiterated that virtuality cannot replace reality.

The tertiary industry dominated by the space economy must better serve the manufacturing industry and cannot avoid reality. The country's guidelines and policies for consolidating and developing the secondary industry, especially high-tech manufacturing, remain unchanged..."

"When are you still in the mood to read this? Hurry up and log in."

In the virtual space of the game warehouse, Zhang Miao closed the news page on the virtual screen, promised Brother Ruoran, and chose to log in to the game.

The place where he went online was still the Alpha plane. Now that he saw the sky and the earth in this demiplane, he had a subconscious nausea reaction - he almost felt like vomiting.

The sky, which remains unchanged for thousands of years, is like a mirror. At first glance, it is transparent, quiet, and very close at hand, so it is naturally very beautiful. However, if you look at it every day, month after month, it will feel monotonous and rigid.

On the earth, the scars left by the war have almost disappeared. There are forests, mountains, lakes, and canyons.

Suzhou gardens, but after a long time, it will feel fake...

Yes, it's fake, it's artificially carved, and it's far from as turbulent, rough, real and natural as the mountains and rivers in the game map.

On the construction site, the final finishing work is still in progress. The hired NPC workers and tourist helpers are cleaning up the construction debris left behind. A two-and-a-half-story building stands in a group of similar buildings, inconspicuous.

The building complex is built on both sides of a dirt road leading to the canyon. The dirt road is seven or eight meters wide. Compared with the desolation before, it is finally a little popular. Many players and tourists enter the canyon in front through this road to explore.

A newly 'grown' map of the demiplane.

The dense fog has receded a lot, but there is still a hazy layer of mist that always covers it. This small building complex has a very poetic systematic name - Mist Town.

Although it is said to be a town, it is actually just one street. Apart from the 'Yuanverse real estate developers' who are trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves, there are not many permanent residents.

The construction site has been cleaned, and the facade on the first floor is still being renovated. Brother Ruoran is guarding the decoration site, pointing to an area he is not satisfied with and asking for rework. A designer who looks like a tourist holds the design and construction drawings for comparison, and a designer who looks like a player manager

The elf kept nodding to the various requests put forward by Brother Ruoran, with a very good service attitude.

Can it be bad?

I don't know how much money has been invested. Every time I look at the account book, Zhang Miao is frightened. If no resource points are found in the new map, all this huge investment will be thrown into the water.

You can still hear a sound when you throw it into the water, but in this damn place, you can't even hear a sound.

He thought again of the news he had just seen offline.

He empathizes with this. Although "players are the productivity" is radical, it also represents a part of reality.

Just say a few of them, how much output value they have created, from institutional banks to online and offline service providers that provide various services, how much money they have spread out and how many jobs they have provided.

, how many jobs were created?

Let’s just talk about this decoration. In reality, the cost is tens or millions, which is already as high as the sky. But here... well, I won’t go into details. If I say too much, I will shed tears.

Nowadays, I am riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off, so I have to hold on for dear life.

To put it bluntly, it's gambling.

It’s a huge gamble of all you have!

Being at the gambling table, one cannot care about anything else. Except for Erniu Manmian and Xie Changting, who have long since stopped doing things, he, Brother Ruoran, and his eldest cousin Hu Xinmin have not yet reached the full level. Time

It was all spent on this two-and-a-half-story building. I don’t know how many problems arose, but fortunately they were all solved.

The final decoration is expected to be completed in two or three days, and it will be open for business by then. At that time, it will be clear whether there are resource points in the new map. Whether it is life or death depends on the mystery being revealed.

That day.

Even if he makes a lot of money, Zhang Miao is not allowed to continue on the glorious road of 'Yuanverse Real Estate Development'. It is really not something ordinary people do. It is more suitable for him to do tasks, spawn monsters, explode equipment, and move bricks. If he had done it early,

Knowing that the pressure is so great, even if the bidding money is lost, the land will be sold out as soon as possible.

"Boy, waiter, why are you standing there? Go to Punk City and look for Fudu Building Materials. There is something wrong with the batch of boards they recently provided. Come and take a look..."

"Oh, it's coming, it's coming."

"Look, they're not even. They have fucking burrs, and they're still moth-eaten. I'll do it. If you do this offline, I'll sue him until he closes down."

"The old man must have been negligent, not intentional."

"Whether he did it on purpose or not, go tell him that he has delayed our construction schedule and the losses caused will be borne by him..."

"It's not good, it's all an old relationship, and besides, I still owe them money for materials that I haven't paid yet."

"It's the uncle who owes the money. Please give me his record. What old man is he? He's just a vampire from a black-hearted factory..."

Zhang Miao was under great pressure. Brother Ruoran, who rushed in and refused to get out, would only be more stressed. Under his cannibalistic gaze, Zhang Miao could only nod and obey.

"Go quickly, go quickly, and ask him to send another batch of goods quickly. You can watch the whole process and there can't be any more problems."

After leaving the construction site of my home, I saw that the conditions in the neighbors were similar. There were beautiful two-and-a-half-story buildings, some big and some small. The big ones had seven or eight storefronts, and the small ones were only big enough for two people to walk in side by side.

The first floor is a store. There’s nothing to say about it. The second floor depends on the type of business. If it’s a restaurant, restaurant or accommodation, it’s natural to use all of it, and the investment will be even greater. If it’s the same as Zhang Miao’s plan, they will only make potions and materials.

, intermediary and customized department store businesses can only be used on the first floor.

The second floor can be used for living and accommodation. In other words, it is a home in Canaan. The main functions and gameplay of the private domain can be realized on the second and third floors.

The home of the Yuan Universe, the home of Canaan, is such a poetic and picturesque thing. He was deceived by this "poetic picture and picture" at the beginning, and only then entered it in a daze.

Fuck, in reality, I don’t even have a home that truly belongs to me, but it’s been implemented in the game first. What the hell is this?

The popularity brought by the flow of people coming and going has reduced Zhang Miao's pressure a lot. I heard that the new map on the other side of the canyon is very big, and the peaks on both sides have completely "grown out". Looking at it, it's not.

The white land without any grass and the shadowy trees appeared in a very short time as if they were copied and pasted, as if they had grown there originally and had grown for dozens or hundreds of years.

What is virgin land? This is the real thing.

Therefore, not only are the game maps exploring new maps, the Alpha plane is also conducting similar activities, and many new resource points have been discovered. Once a resource point is discovered, the result is that the value of nearby real estate increases significantly.

Near the teleportation point in Mist Town, there are more players and tourists coming and going. Most of the tourists are busy collecting and being hired. There are hawker stalls doing business in a circle, with people hanging out, bargaining, and collecting goods.

lively.

After paying a 10-copper teleportation fee to the NPC in charge of the teleportation, Zhang Miao teleported to the [Devil Farm Back Station] safe area. As soon as he walked out of the teleportation array, he saw a group of centaurs driving a group of ungrown mounts.

Walk to the farm outside the city.

The players were extremely greedy to see these mounts. At this time, another group of players from the griffon training camp flew through the low altitude with shouts and screams. They hurriedly drove the griffins and landed at the 'airport' in the safe zone in a thrilling manner.

These quasi-'Gryphon Knights' are all hard-core players with military ranks and meritorious deeds reaching the level of sergeant major. If Zhang Miao and the others had not opened up real estate in the Yuanverse, their merits would have been enough. Now they can only envy them for being able to fly in the sky.

The busiest thing in the safe zone is the mercenary guild. When passing by, I heard people shouting about the magic pet resource point with new hairstyle. Zhang Miao curiously went in and took a look. It turned out that it was a new growth on the map in another direction.

The monster named [Bee Flame Bird] can tame the young [Bee Flame Bird] as a magic pet.

The adult [Flaming Bird] has two real talents, one is [Wind Swarm], which summons several whirlwinds, slows down the enemy and causes slight damage, and increases the movement speed of the owner. The other is [Flame Ray], from

The two special compound eyes of [Bee Flame Bird] shoot out a ray that burns the enemy, and also has a control effect that blinds the target for one second.

Compared with the [Ghost Bat] that has been discovered, which is also known as the vampire bat, this kind of demon pet looks very good. It has fiery red feathers all over its body, just like a shrunken phoenix bird. Once it was discovered, it ignited the enthusiasm of the majority of players.

, especially female players, most of the players in the lobby came after hearing the news. Even if the system has not yet unlocked the functions related to magic pets, some people have issued bounties in advance to purchase the baby birds of [Bee Flame Bird] at a high price.

What is a resource point? This is it.

That direction is starting to get closer to the border. It used to be a blank land, but now it has become a cornucopia of money. A large number of players and tourists are coming, and the number of people is more than ten times that of myself?

Somewhat frustrated, he came out of the mercenary hall and walked towards another teleportation array.

Teleport from [Devil Farm Back Station] to [Devil Farm Front Station] and you will enter the essence of the Alpha plane.

The popularity here is even greater. The shops along the street already have the style of a bustling commercial street in a small county town. Those areas that have been entrusted have been built long ago. Offline structures, companies, guilds, and banks have settled here.

The signs of institutions, such-and-such companies, and such-and-such banks are more eye-catching than the others. Players, tourists and NPCs wearing suits, Hanfu, and all kinds of strange clothes without attributes are mixed together, entering and exiting various two-and-a-half-story buildings.

People talking about business, shopping, shopping, setting up stalls, haggling, people setting up stalls without licenses, people avoiding NPC urban management... the whole place was very lively.

The largest and most "luxurious" is the "Qiao Canaan" with seven or eight facade buildings. It is an institution that provides food, wine, accommodation and online and offline transaction guarantees. It is called "Hongshan Chuangshi" and has a wide area in front of the main entrance.

The 'parking lot' is full of horse-drawn carriages, and at worst there are horses for transportation. It's really a place where people talk and laugh, there are no idle people coming and going, and the players who come in and out are just like reality, they are all wealthy owners.

Look at others, and then look at yourself, you really don’t know what you are doing, and you are shocked when you compare them.

It seems that Canaan is not a pure land, and it has become tainted with the smell of copper in reality so quickly.

Zhang Miao thought sourly, not wanting to look any further, and took the last transfer to reach Alpha City.

Compared to the two safe zones in front and back, which are mostly entrusted with land, this main city in the demi-plane, which is also the only system city, is not enough.

It’s still the same as when I left last time. There are no changes. Although there are many people, most of them are NPCs. The buildings are also the same mud houses. They still maintain the original ecology of the system city. No matter how you compare it, it is the same as before.

The two safe zones are incomparable.

But this is the place where system functions and services are most concentrated. City hall, training camp, task release and settlement, etc., can only be done here.

Zhang Miao said hello to the familiar city guard NPC team leader, went to several training camps and handed in a few small tasks before teleporting away from the Alpha plane.

As soon as Zhang Miao stepped out of the teleportation array in Chenxi Town, she smelled a different air. Looking at the gloomy sky and the vast and boundless game map, she really felt like she had stepped out of a small cage.

Compared with the Alpha plane, the real game map is like two completely different worlds.

The players are all wearing equipment with attributes, and there are not so many boring decorations. Everyone is in a hurry and has a strong purpose. Although there are many people, it is not noisy.

Outside the safety zone, there are many "illegal buildings", which spontaneously formed a market dominated by workshops and handicraft workshops. There are the most tourists here. Several black brick kilns have just been closed down by the system. Tourists who have lost their jobs are crowding in the safety zone.

District, was recruited by several intermediaries, commonly known as day laborers.

As we all know, Chenxi Town is the base camp of veteran players. It is the quietest and low-key town, while Punk City is another story.

If the Alpha plane is the base camp for players and tourists, this is the world of the system's indigenous people. The Alpha plane has a strong earth atmosphere and Chinese style, and here is the pure Canaan flavor and medieval style.

Fudu Trading also found a "loophole" in the system through NPC cooperation, so it has a legitimate building materials workshop outside of Punk City.

The workshop employs a large number of tourists, and various types of wood collected from players and tourists are processed here to make various building materials that are increasingly in demand, supplying the construction boom that is rising everywhere in the game.

Walking into the simple and rough gate of the workshop, you will see a transport fleet composed of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages. Piles of boards are being loaded onto the vehicles by strong orc coolies and transported to various construction sites under construction.

Zhang Miao quickly found his acquaintance Lao Fu in the busy workshop.

After hearing about the quality problems of the last batch of goods, Lao Fu, a level 12 lifestyle player, looked helpless and said: "The system is going to build an arena, you know that, right? Most of the good materials have been confiscated by the system, and they are distributed to you.

That batch was the best.”

"Arena, what arena?"
Chapter completed!
