Chapter 606: Experience the construction speed of our infrastructure maniac_1
The officials present all seemed to agree unanimously. They’d spent very little time in the game, perhaps only having a rough understanding of the beginner’s village.
Seeing everyone so concerned, Chairman Hu nodded and said, “In that case, let me give you a detailed introduction.
Forest City is the second largest city in the Goldfinch Empire within the game. In the first expansion, Queen Alise, the legendary peak champion Xi Fan, and the rebels had a major battle there, which almost destroyed the city…”
Next, Chairman Hu roughly described the specific situation of Forest City.
Forest City quickly declined after the war. Not only did the war cause nearly half of the city’s population to die, but the elemental turbulence and the lingering energy caused by the high-level power struggle took years to clear. The city wasn’t suitable for ordinary people to live in, which led to a continued massive loss of population in Forest City.
A year ago in game time, the population of Forest City had reached a historical low, not even one-twentieth of its peak.
But last year, the situation improved.
The residual energy in the city was completely cleared last year, and the population slowly returned.
However, there was still a considerable gap compared to the peak period, and there were many vacant houses and idle lands in the city.
At last, Chairman Hu added, “Just now I entered the game and formally signed an agreement with Queen Alise to make Forest City a player’s main city.
After all, Forest City was once the second-largest city of the Goldfinch Empire. It has unique geographical resources and transportation advantages, and most importantly, it has plenty of vacant land. We couldn’t wish for a better place to establish our headquarters. Does anyone have any objections?”
After hearing Chairman Hu’s presentation, the officials present unanimously agreed. Forest City was indeed a good choice.
The four most prosperous cities in the entire Goldfinch Empire are Goldfinch City, Orleans City, Pearl City, and Su Yu’s territory Aphi City.
If you connect these four cities and Forest City, it easily forms a “human” character, and Forest City is the center point where the lines intersect.
There’s no doubt that this city would enter a fast-track of development. It was perfect to establish our headquarters here.
“Now that I’ve said that, let’s have a show of hands.” Chairman Hu Jing said seriously, “Those in favor of Forest City, please raise your hands. Those who disagree or abstain, don’t need to vote. If you have other opinions, you can give feedback to Xue Wenli after the meeting.”
At once, more than 90% of the officials below raised their hands in agreement. The other 10% had faces changing constantly and seemed to have other ideas.
Seeing that the majority agreed, Chairman Hu cheered, “That’s it then. We’ll let the indigenous people in the game witness our crazy construction speed!”
“Haha!” The people below all smiled knowingly.
China was already known for its excellent and fast infrastructure construction, and now this talent was finally going to be put to use in the game.
At this point, Commissioner Zhang reminded, “Chairman Hu, apart from the relocation of our reality departments, arrangements must also be made for the scientists’ in-game settlement. After all, they need more time than we do.”
The top scientists of the United Government were indeed the busiest people in the world.
The technology of Skru Star was hundreds of years ahead of Blue Star, including a complex spiritual energy operating system, and a completely incomprehensible Skru language. This had put a heavy learning burden on the scientists.
In the past four months, the scientists had been working full time. Except for eating and sleeping, they devoted all their energy to studying more advanced technologies.
However, they still couldn’t fully understand controllable nuclear fusion, anti-gravity technology, or battery load technology.
Allowing scientists into the game with 12 times more time to contemplate real-life problems in the game, and then return once they had solutions, was vital.
So, the change in the flow of time had a significant impact on scientists.
Hearing Commissioner Zhang’s words, Xue Wenli immediately replied, “Don’t worry, Commissioner. I’ve sent someone to contact the scientists. We will get them settled in the beginner village to continue their research, and provide as much logistics support as they need.”
“That’s good to know,” Commissioner Zhang said, relieved.
“Let’s end the meeting here.” Chairman Hu finally said, “We’ll get to work right away. By tonight, everyone, except those who haven’t left the beginner village in the game, has to report to Forest City!”
The officials below answered in unison.
But someone suddenly had a thought – they were all dressed in sharp suits or military uniforms for the meeting.
Once in the game, everyone would “tell it like it is”, either dressed in shabby leather or plate armor, or cloth robes similar to those of a beggar’s.
The scene would undoubtedly be quite amusing!
The scene shifts back to Su Yu in the game.
After the successful reversal of the game’s time, Bernina used the excuse of being “tired” to send Su Yu and his party of three out of the beginner village without even offering dinner.
But the trio didn’t mind at all.
Alise and Tina, one on his left and one on his right, surrounded Su Yu with joyful faces.
After the reversal of game time, Su Yu could spend plenty of time with them instead of being out of sight all day long.
Su Yu, on the other hand, was looking at a light blue magic book, feeling pleased.
This light blue magic book was given to him by Bernina when he left. It was a legacy of Bernina’s water and time system spells, and one of the rewards from the last quest.
With this magic book, Su Yu could study water system spells more thoroughly, and even dabble in space system spells, which he had never explored before.
Now that he had more time in the game, he could spend more time studying these spells to increase his combat power, rather than spending all his time leveling up.
By the time they returned to the Royal Palace, it was already 10 a.m. the next day in game time. The kings and dukes of the Western Continents nations had been waiting in the palace for a whole day.
However, Alise ignored them.
Standing above the Goldfinch Palace, Alise grabbed Su Yu’s arm and whispered, “Nemesis, what are your plans next?”
Tina also cast a concerned look.
After some thought, Su Yu answered quickly, “I still have 132 hours left today, which is roughly 11 days. I plan to stay in the palace with you two for these 11 days.”
“That’s great!” Alise was ecstatic, she grabbed his hand and flew down to the main hall below, saying, “Now, let’s get rid of these people together! I’ll introduce you to the kings and dukes of the Western Continent… oh, wait, you should already know them, right?”
“Of course, we know each other very well. We are old acquaintances.” Su Yu smiled and scratched his nose.
