This city simulation game can affect reality.

Resident satisfaction: 84%

City attractiveness: 122

That night, Chen Jun carried out a major overhaul of the woodworking workshop at the farmhouse in the game "City Simulator".

When Yunhai was in charge, the teaching area here was a temporary prefabricated steel structure building.

Although it can fulfill basic functions, neither its atmosphere nor its appearance is as immersive as the Woodcutter's Hut experience.

Without any regrets, he demolished all the houses completely.

According to previous communications during the takeover, over 90% of the original cloud poster course students expressed their willingness to continue learning after the courses resumed.

After all, in the field of woodworking, the name of Woodcutter's Hut is also well-known.

For the few who left, Hitta also processed refunds for them.

As for the instructors responsible for teaching, after some communication, they also expressed their willingness to join Xita.

For them, this could even be considered a leap forward for the platform.

Chen Jun dragged the mouse and busied himself for a while, then repositioned 46 woodcutter huts on the open ground and merged them all into 23 medium-sized woodcutter huts.

At this point, land use in this area is nearing saturation.

Based on the resort's experience, these rooms can accommodate at least 350 students.

This is almost twice the total capacity of the Lumberjack Huts at the resort, but at the current rate, after accommodating all registered students and potential repeat students of the farm stay, there will be very few empty rooms left.

The next step is to relocate some of the resort's students to this new campus.

This would certainly alleviate the increasing pressure on the resort headquarters, but the space freed up was not as much as Chen Jun had expected.

However, for the rapidly expanding Hitta, land space will always be the core resource, and it is unlikely that any land use bottlenecks will emerge in the future.

As long as the land transfer negotiations go smoothly, Chen Jun will have more and more opportunities to showcase his abilities.

It seems only a matter of time before a third and fourth campus are opened.

After completing the layout of the main buildings, Chen Jun placed derivative buildings such as the [Treehouse Inn] and [Underground Wood Cellar] around or underground in the area of ​​the woodcutter's huts, following the resort's supporting model.

This series of actions also pushed the city's attractiveness on the panel past the 120 mark.

[City attraction reaches 120, new building unlocked: Bonestone Stele]

[Bonestone: When your resident dies of natural causes or accident, their remains can be buried within the area defined by this stone. Their immediate family members receive an additional efficiency bonus when visiting functional buildings. The stone itself also slowly absorbs negative emotions within a small area.]

The nature of this new building is somewhat different from the various buildings acquired before.

It is not about serving the living, but about the emotional connection between the deceased and the living.

A similar funeral and memorial system does exist in the original City Simulator.

Virtual residents die every moment in the city for various reasons. If there are no medical buildings or funeral facilities near the place of death, the body will remain for a long time, continuously providing debuffs to the surrounding NPCs.

For novice players, this is often how a game goes wrong.

Cemeteries and mausoleums are key components in establishing a complete social ecosystem in the mid-game.

NPCs will visit graves at specific times, which will lead to related consumption and activities, and to some extent bring a short-term boost to positive emotions.

However, the amount of land Chen Jun currently manages is still too small.

Given a limited population base, the probability of death among residents is relatively low.

Even if they exist, there is a lack of standardized cemetery facilities in the areas currently recognized by the system.

The only relevant thing is the scattered family burial mounds of villagers on the non-construction land behind the agritainment business.

The unified cemetery planned for Longding Mountain a few years ago is located on another hill next to it.

"To build a complete community ecosystem, the funeral service aspect definitely needs to be included in the overall planning."

The emergence of the new building also gave Chen Jun some strategic inspiration.

In the short term, the "Rotten Bone Stele" may serve as a bargaining chip to strengthen ties with the local villagers.

When the time is right, we can contact the families of villagers who have ancestral graves on the hill behind the farmhouse, repair their tombstones, and in return, obtain certain benefits.

For villagers, clan consciousness is often very strong, and the maintenance and dignification of ancestral graves are extremely important.

However, due to limited economic conditions, many families' ancestral graves are still just simple mounds of earth, and very few can afford to erect proper stone tablets.

With the increasing popularity of public cemeteries, fewer and fewer families are choosing traditional burial practices. However, families that still adhere to traditional funeral customs remain a significant group.

The card 【Rotten Bone Tomb】 can be extremely helpful to Sheeta if used correctly.

On the screen, a preview of the rewards for the next stage has already appeared.

[City attractiveness increased to 130, new building available: Spiral Staircase]

......

On the morning of New Year's Day, the entire Longding Mountain was enveloped in a unique festive atmosphere.

Although the New Year's Day celebrations in Nandu cannot compare to those of the Spring Festival, the spirit of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new remains strong.

Most of the farmers and villagers in the mountains have put up new couplets, and some children have even taken out firecrackers they had prepared in advance and set them off everywhere.

Longding Mountain, which is usually cool and clear, has long been filled with a warm atmosphere, and a faint smell of sulfur permeates the air.

Logically, Chen Jun originally planned to hold a party at the resort, which would both unite the staff and attract tourists.

However, during this period, the entire team was in a highly stressed state, and everyone was exhausted.

Organizing such a large-scale event, beneath its celebratory exterior, involves a significant amount of extra work and preparation pressure for a large number of employees.

Moreover, Hita's top-performing puppet troupe is also in seclusion for rehearsals.

Due to various factors, Chen Jun only arranged for people to plan some symbolic small activities.

Despite the relaxed atmosphere, he began to hear some rumors about Shita.

The rumor originated from several nearby villages.

The criticism is directly directed at Hitta's recent overpriced leasing incident.

Some opinions are milder, suggesting that Sheeta's compensation might be a worthless promise.

Some were even more sinister, asserting that Hitta's expansion was too rapid and its cash flow was already strained, meaning the deal was likely doomed to fail.

The source of these words is hidden and vague, but it is certain that they were not just discussions arising from the villagers' concerns.

Even if ordinary villagers wanted to put pressure on Shita, they lacked the organizational ability to create a chain of transmission with such clear misleading information in a short period of time.

Behind the rumors, someone is clearly hoping for something.

Chen Jun immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate discreetly.

The village committee is currently on holiday, so the distribution of money will have to be postponed until after the holiday.

Old Zhou is also making preparations for this in full swing.
