This city simulation game can affect reality.

The next morning at 8:32, the resort had just opened and all the roads were deserted.

On a vacant lot near the warehouse area to the south, a towering giant tree is surrounded by a metal frame from all sides.

These frames are equipped with hydraulic systems that allow for fine-tuning of the angle and height of the wood.

After securing herself with a safety rope, Li Qingxin, with the assistance of the employees below, climbed up the ladder along the edge of the frame.

Reaching the top "head" position, she held the ink line and, after some work, popped out the vertical and horizontal central axes.

This is the baseline for measuring the proportion of wood.

Picking up the prepared 3D design drawing from the iron rack next to her, Li Qingxin used a marker to mark positioning lines on the wood, including the total height, head, and shoulder width.

Next are the waistline and the base.

This step may seem to lack technical skill, but it is the most important thing before starting work, requiring a high level of spatial awareness from the carpenter.

Next, she asked another employee to act as her assistant and climb to the top with her.

At 8:55, Li Qingxin started her live stream.

Thanks to Douyin's precise algorithm, her live stream was immediately featured on the homepage.

In just a few dozen seconds, more than two thousand spectators poured in.

It's worth noting that in the past few weeks, the peak number of viewers in the live stream was only 1,900.

This also requires the support of holidays.

"Friends, I am now standing on an iron frame four meters above the ground, ready to carve the giant wood in front of me into a Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue."

Facing the camera, Li Qingxin took a long, deep breath, then turned around and began working.

At this moment, she was like an attending physician stepping onto the operating table, looking at the "patient" in front of her. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous at all.

On one side are massive wooden blocks standing tall.

On one side was a tiny, ethereal figure, as small as a grain of sand.

In stark contrast, both those on the internet and occasional tourists passing by couldn't help but harbor doubts:

Can this girl really conquer the giant tree in front of her on her own?

Li Qingxin, already immersed in her work, naturally couldn't afford to worry about these things.

She was seen running around busily, repeatedly picking up and putting down the tools on the ground.

Compared to the small objects I usually carve, this is not only a test of skill, but also of physical fitness.

It took her nearly two hours to barely complete the basic shaping of the rough blank.

This step also allowed him to determine the approximate dimensions of the Guanyin statue's head, chest, pelvis, and arms.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream room has gradually reached more than 4000.

The gifts, both big and small, have long been countless.

In the past, the perceptive Li Qingxin might have already been calculating in her mind how much she could gain that day.

But now, she doesn't even have time to thank the audience.

Despite having mastered the skill of carving with one hand, the sheer volume of work at hand was simply too immense.

After the basic shaping is completed, the subsequent tasks are the main event.

Climbing to the highest point of the frame again, Li Qingxin, chisel in hand, began the real work of meticulous carving.

From top to bottom, the first thing to be done is naturally the shaping of the head.

Face shape, hairpins, crown, hair strands, necklaces.

Finally, we must examine the facial expressions of Guanyin in detail.

In reality, once you reach this stage, for Li Qingxin at level 4, the biggest challenge will be her physical stamina.

Although creating a Guanyin statue is difficult, once you divide it into several sections, the rest is just routine work.

mallet, carving knife, scraper, jigsaw...

She constantly changed the tools in her hands, and when she encountered some tricky angles, she also needed to manually adjust the position of the wood.

Time passed second by second.

Tourists come and go beneath the frame, one group after another.

Around 1 p.m., Li Qingxin, who was hungry, felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the sun wasn't too strong today, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to endure such a long period of physical labor.

"Friends, I'll grab a bite to eat first, then we'll continue."

Although netizens are waiting to see the final result, those viewers who witnessed the whole process firsthand can hardly help but feel sympathy.

The moment Li Qingxin finished speaking, a gift worth 399 yuan appeared on the screen.

Moreover, this guy gave away ten at once.

This made her feel very lost, and she quickly clasped her hands in thanks.

Beneath the metal frame, Chen Jun had already instructed his employees to pack the meals, ready to be sent up.

After eating, drinking water, and resting, Li Qingxin felt her physical condition had recovered after thirty minutes and picked up her work again, starting to hammer and tinker.

It wasn't until evening that she finally managed to finish sculpting the face of Guanyin.

Looking at the dignified, elegant, and benevolent-looking giant statue in front of her, Li Qingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is impossible to create a complete Thousand-Hand Guanyin within 24 hours in terms of time.

But today's challenge at least shows that I have the ability to become a master carpenter.

After dinner, Li Qingxin continued sculpting for nearly five hours.

Even the staff member in charge of filming was starting to feel the strain.

At one o'clock in the morning, looking at the Guanyin statue that was less than 20% complete, she announced with an apologetic tone:

"Sorry, friends, this challenge will most likely end in failure."

After finishing speaking, he collapsed onto the metal frame, staring blankly at the huge eyes above his head.

You did not fail!

In the live stream, these five encouraging words instantly filled the entire chat.

Everyone who's been following this since morning knows how difficult this day has been.

Li Qingxin was indeed unable to complete this massive project on her own, but she proved in a day that her skills were still improving.

At least from this moment on, those who previously had doubts about her will no longer utter a single unnecessary word.

......

After resting for a long time and saying goodbye to the audience, Li Qingxin closed the live broadcast room with a tired look on her face.

The peak number of people was 9000.

The gift revenue was 2.14 yuan.

The number of followers jumped from less than 50,000 to 82,000 in one day.

This is the final backend data.

Slowly returning to the ground from the frame, she looked at Chen Jun waiting there and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, boss... I failed."

Chen Jun smiled and said, "This is an impossible challenge in itself; at least no one has been able to do it yet."

According to the level classification in "City Simulator", Lv4 can only be considered as the "Foundation Building Realm" in the world of cultivation.

Chen Jun's original intention in issuing this challenge was simply to gain a more intuitive understanding of the so-called carpenter levels, and incidentally to create some buzz.

Judging from the results, the account 【Legendary Carpenter Li Qingxin】 has been completely built up.

Based on his understanding of the platform's rules, once the data in various aspects reaches a certain threshold, the account will be moved to a new traffic pool.

Whether it's live streaming or short videos, the subsequent promotion will reach a new level, and the speed of gaining followers will be several times faster than before.

This is an inevitable qualitative change brought about by the continuous output of high-quality content.

"Go back and rest, you've had a hard day."
