Inside the bedroom, the cold light from the computer screen reflected Chen Jun's focused face.

In the game interface, the 11.7 hectares of land that was just acquired have been incorporated into the territory of Shita City.

This is the third territory recognized by City Simulator. Since they are not directly connected, their overall size does not appear significant from the game's top-down perspective.

When Chen Jun was playing games, he would occasionally, out of a sense of aesthetics or obsessive-compulsive disorder, deliberately separate and plan various functions, and then use some special buildings as visual buffers and connections.

However, those operations are mostly performed on flat maps.

Without installing mods or selecting special gameplay modes, the game starts on flat ground by default.

The natural undulations of the mountain itself act as a barrier, giving Chen Jun an inexplicable urge to combine them together.

Because the three areas are not on the same elevation plane, he has to frequently rotate and zoom the viewpoint when he wants to see a certain detail.

This is probably one of the more troublesome points.

Rotate the view to the farmhouse, then scroll the mouse to slowly zoom in; the pixelated blur gradually becomes clear.

The internal structure is displayed on the screen.

Excluding the land for the resort and activity center, the total area of ​​Yunhai is 0.117 square kilometers, or about 175 mu.

To put it more directly, it's roughly equivalent to sixteen standard football fields lined up in a row.

"The original main building complex of Yunhai, including the parking lot and green space, covered about fifty acres."

"The main hall and the woodworking workshop behind it cover about twenty acres."

"The gentle slope connecting to the back mountain to the west is land reserved by Yunhai for development. According to the handover of documents, they have already conducted simple exploration and planning bidding, but it collapsed before they could make substantial progress. This land is about 30 acres."

"The rest are some odds and ends, including the well-managed tourist orchard on the southern slope, which totals about 25 mu."

Based on the actual data in the acquisition documents, Chen Jun conducted a thorough analysis and evaluation.

The entire controllable and complete plot of land in Yunhai is about 125 acres at most.

As for other original forests that cannot be moved and ecological landscape belts that need to be preserved, they are similar to the shared area in commercial housing.

Although it is included in the overall land rights, it cannot be used for direct construction.

This area is not designated as protected land; similar plots exist in both resorts and activity centers.

Given the current situation, even if we wanted to undertake large-scale renovations, it would be impossible to complete the main construction on these fifty acres all at once; it would be neither economical nor realistic.

The true "canvas" seems to be found only in three other areas.

"The woodworking workshop and the reception area are on relatively flat terrain, and they must be used to relieve the land pressure on the resort."

"The 30 acres of hillside land on the west side is quite good. It's the largest in area, and it's separated from the main operating area by terrain, so it will have the least impact on the overall operation."

Chen Jun focused his attention on the western slope, carefully examining the terrain details.

The overall slope is very pronounced, with a higher elevation in the east and a lower elevation in the west. In some areas, the slope even exceeds 15 degrees.

In traditional development, this means high earthwork leveling costs and complex foundation treatment.

However, with the help of terrain editing, the amount of work can be reduced to the greatest extent.

As for connecting the water and electricity systems, it's just a matter of moving a finger.

"This plot of land is in a relatively secluded location, which seems quite suitable for placing [contrasting buildings]."

After briefly considering this line of thought, Chen Jun discovered a new problem:

The building's footprint is enormous, unlike any other building before it.

If it's just a small villa or workshop, Chen Jun can set it up immediately.

Just like the previous activity center built on the site of a former chemical plant, by constructing it in batches, it neither violates laws and regulations nor easily attracts the attention of passersby.

Even satellite images taken from the sky don't show the effects of such a "minor surgery" very clearly.

But contrasting buildings are different. If a 30-story building suddenly appears out of nowhere in a short period of time... unless the nearby residents are all blind or mentally challenged, it's impossible to hide it from them.

To the people on the surrounding hills and even on the road, this was nothing short of a bizarre magic.

More importantly, commercial satellite imagery is now updated frequently. The sudden appearance of such a huge new building outline on a high-definition joystick map is like a blot of ink on a blank sheet of paper, impossible to conceal.

Trying to get away with it is utterly absurd, assuming all human beings have normal intelligence.

If a company has reached a certain size and industry standing, it can be explained by high technology, and people will believe it if they say so.

But now, in the eyes of many, Hitta is just a trendy resort that has risen to fame by chance thanks to a few highlight projects.

Suddenly claiming to have mastered groundbreaking construction technology that will disrupt the industry will likely attract tenfold or even a hundredfold scrutiny.

With his hand propping up his chin, Chen Jun was caught in a dilemma.

"Is giving up the only option?"

He realized the building's stealth function as early as when he obtained the blueprints for the "Contrast Building".

Besides the surface-level attribute bonuses, the building itself can play a decisive role in your subsequent layout.

Even if it's not built now, it will eventually have to be implemented in the next year or two.

Previously, I was troubled by the lack of extra land. Now that I have land, if I can't do with it as I please, wouldn't it be a waste?

"We must build it."

Chen Jun refocused his gaze. Opportunity waits for no one, and there was no reason to postpone it indefinitely out of fear of potential exposure risks.

He randomly pulled out a blank sheet of paper and began to scribble and draw, trying to find a viable path between the necessity of building and the need to avoid exposure.

After a long while, a preliminary framework for a plan that could minimize the risks gradually became clear in Chen Jun's mind.

"The root of the problem is that 'sneaking around' itself creates the greatest suspicion."

"We must act quickly and transparently within the rules, using information asymmetry and cognitive guidance to mislead outsiders about the speed."

"However, the most urgent task right now is to obtain the license."

The land use of the Yunhai plot is actually quite complicated, but after reviewing the legal documents, Lao Zhou can clearly identify this hillside as a mixed commercial and residential land use.

This means that, at least on the most fundamental issue, there is no direct blockade, and there is no legal conflict in using this land to build buildings.

However, a certificate is still missing.

Thanks to Yunhai's failed development plan, they have already applied for a planning permit.

This part of Hitta was able to inherit completely, saving at least eight or nine months of review time.

However, a construction permit is still required before construction can begin.
