Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Now that everyone is here, I declare the meeting open..."

Some of the elderly men with white hair sitting at the head of the conference table looked around the room, tapped the table lightly with their fingers, drawing everyone's attention, and then said softly:

"The first thing is the test report on the tree branches and the treatment plan."

As he spoke, he glanced at the eight file folders in front of him and tossed seven of them to the others.

The heads of the seven districts opened the file folders, carefully read the contents recorded on the papers, and their brows gradually furrowed.

"This is a bit troublesome!" Xu Xiang, the head of the North China division, said with a frown.

Trees that can release special energy, when nourished by this energy over a long period of time, will cause changes in all animals, including cats and dogs, plants, cockroaches, locusts, and so on.

The changes in animals can be compared to those of immortals; the changes in insects are currently unknown; and the changes in plants can be described as "multifaceted."

Of course, the above information is speculation by researchers and is not guaranteed to be correct; it can only be said that the possibility is very high.

For the 'company', the high probability is enough to justify taking action.

"My advice is to identify all the mutated trees as soon as possible and cut them all down before they cause serious trouble."

Before the heads of the seven districts could speak, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open, and five people walked in one after another. The sentence just spoken was said by one of them.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Fangxu, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, looked at the newcomer and immediately raised his left hand to gently press his brow.

The visitor was a director of the company, and each person was in charge of a specific aspect of the business.

The person who spoke earlier was Chairman Huang, who was somewhat "outspoken".

"Old Huang is right. There's no need to think so much. They're just some trees. We can just cut them all down and that will solve the problem."

A middle-aged man dressed in black, with a slightly sinister appearance, spoke in a low voice.

This person is Chairman Bi, and he is somewhat ruthless.

“No, let’s find out how many trees there are first,” said the old woman standing beside the two.

"I second that." The short old man beside him nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with the proposed solution.

The remaining person, a tall and fat director, did not speak and went straight to the conference table.

The five people took their seats one after another. After listening to their remarks, the heads of the seven regions did not immediately express their opinions, but instead turned their attention to Chairman Zhao.

"Investigate the quantity first, and then consider how to handle it."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Fangxu announced the solution to the matter.

"Each district should submit its investigation results as soon as possible, and remember to record any special circumstances encountered during the process..."

"Next thing..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Fangxu moved on to the next topic: "Please take a look at the report on the Longhushan incident submitted by Xu San."

After speaking, Zhao Fangxu slowly leaned back until his back was against the back of the chair, and then slowly exhaled.

Upon hearing this, the heads of various regions began reading the documents, while Xu Xiang wondered what Xu San had written that would be brought up by Lao Zhao at the meeting.

While the seven regional heads were reviewing the report, the five directors had nothing to do. They glared at each other for a while, then turned to look at Zhao Fangxu.

Zhao Fangxu said irritably, "I didn't prepare any for you. I didn't even invite you to the meeting in the first place."

Hearing the chairman say this, the group didn't say anything more. They had indeed come uninvited. Then they turned their attention to the heads of the various regions.

"Xiao Ren..."

"Hua Feng..."

The two people whose names were called immediately understood what the director meant, handed over the document bag, and then looked at a document together with the person next to them.

The directors who received the documents began to read them, and gradually their brows furrowed.

A few minutes later, Bi Youlong looked up at Zhao Fangxu and asked, "Is there any fabrication in the report?"

“I asked other employees who were carrying out the task, and they can guarantee that the report submitted by Xu San was not falsified, and was even somewhat conservative.”

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's explanation, Bi Youlong's expression immediately darkened.

"Although I knew that the 'spirits' worshipped by shamans were spirits who had cultivated for many years, I never imagined that their strength was so great."

Huang Boren sighed, then asked, "What is Chairman Zhao trying to achieve by bringing this up?"

"Should we eliminate those unstable factors, or talk to them and sign a contract?"

Bi Youlong then added.

"Kill him? You Long, you really dare to dream!"

Zhao Fangxu slowly shook his head, tapping the report lightly with his fingertip: "According to Xu San's description, those 'immortals' are extraordinary in strength. How much do you think we need to pay to wipe them out?"

Bi Youlong: "…………"

Without a doubt, this is a price the company cannot afford.

"So...you mean we should talk?"

At this moment, everyone present understood Zhao Fangxu's thoughts. Chairman Huang, named Huang Boren, asked this question, although he used a certain tone.

"Otherwise what?" Zhao Fangxu retorted.

Since maintaining the status quo is impossible and force is ineffective, all that's left is negotiation...

"Who do you think is the right person to take charge of this matter?" a director asked.

"Xu Si".

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhao Fangxu said, "I've met him a few times. Although he seems a bit unreliable, he's actually very dependable. Besides, he knows those 'immortals,' so I feel quite at ease sending him, but..."

“It’s not convenient for him to go alone, since he doesn’t have enough authority, so… he needs a director to accompany him.”

"Who...is going?"

Zhao Fangxu pushed up his round-framed glasses, the mirrors reflecting a bright white light.

The five men looked at each other for a moment, and then Chairman Huang said, "...I'll go."

"Then I'll leave it to you," Zhao Fangxu said.

Afterwards, some other matters were discussed, and the meeting was adjourned.

The group left the conference room one after another, with Huang Boren and Xu Xiang acting together.

A phone call was made to Xu Si, instructing him to set off immediately for the shamanic family's headquarters.

Then a phone call was made to the shaman family, informing them that there was something important to discuss and they needed to meet.

Afterwards, the two bought plane tickets and set off for the residence of the shamanic family in Northeast China.

That's right, Xu Xiang did not return to the branch office, but decided to carry out the mission with Huang Boren and Xu Si.

One day later...

After discussing for a while, Xu Xiang, Huang Boren, Xu Si, Guan Shihua, and others raised their questions from the bottom of their hearts.

"So... why are the 'spirits' worshipped by shamans located in Biyou Village?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the shamanic families present all turned to look to the side...

Chapter 199 Opens a New Simulated World

The shamans unanimously refused to answer any of the three people's questions.

Realizing he couldn't achieve his goal there, Chairman Huang directly said goodbye and decided to head to Biyou Village to find the "immortals".

Guan Shihua made a request to "accompany" them, and the three of them agreed after a moment's thought, since there was no reason to refuse.

Meanwhile, in Biyou Village.

Yesterday, Fang Rui took a long-awaited simulation. The possible future scenarios he envisioned served as a wake-up call, making him realize some issues he had overlooked...

Firstly, under the nourishment of 'spiritual energy,' pets, stray animals, and other animals living in the city, like animals living in the wild, are bound to 'evolve.'

Everyone is treated equally, and there is no discrimination.

Secondly, "insects" can also "evolve," and because of their large numbers, "evolved" insects can cause serious trouble—insect plagues.

"So... here's the question."

Fang Rui's gaze fell on the quiet and peaceful Biyou Village. As the first place where "spiritual energy" appeared, it did not experience "insect plagues," but it did experience several beast tides.

Since it's supposed to be "equal treatment," then Biyou Village should also have the potential for an "insect plague," so why hasn't it broken out yet...?

shhhhhh...

As he was thinking this, three birds flew past him at lightning speed, like sunlight piercing through the fog, shattering Fang Rui's doubts and making him understand why there was no "insect plague".

Most birds eat insects in the wild. There are many birds near Biyou Village, some of which are "spirits" worshipped by shamans. Although the "spirits" are provided with three meals a day by the village canteen, they occasionally find some demonic insects to eat without any problem.

Others are birds and demonic beasts attracted by the rich spiritual energy and fragrance of spiritual plants in Biyou Village. Their daily meals consist of demonic insects from the surrounding area.

Therefore, it is impossible for the insects to become a plague.

Of course, this method is not yet ready for widespread adoption...

Fang Rui gathered his thoughts, which had been drifting like willow catkins, and then began to think about other things...

For example, the changes in the ocean, the return of supernatural beings to the public eye, the establishment of associations and academies...

"I'm sure I played a significant role in those things."

With that, Fang Rui summoned the simulator interface and stared at it.

As the saying goes: By the time you know the future, the future has already changed.

How much will change depends on how much you want to change.

Regarding the future predicted this time, Fang Rui only wants to change a few details, and he already has the corresponding methods. As for the rest, he has no intention of changing anything.

but……

One solution to a problem is not reliable; it's safer to prepare several solutions.

It just so happens that... whether it's a virtual scene or a simulated scene from another world, the flow of time is different from that of the outside world. He can make money in the simulated scene while also looking for more solutions.

Although he had not yet fully explored the world of fox spirits, he had no intention of logging in for the time being.
