This city simulation game can affect reality.

Temperature adjustment, water adjustment, disinfection, and seedling release.

After a long and arduous process, the operators finally released all the fish fry into the river after the sun had set.

Since most fish don't like to stay at the surface, the overall effect wasn't as spectacular as one might imagine.

These creatures have a very long growth cycle, and for a long time to come, Chen Jun will have to assign someone to take care of and manage this watershed.

At 11 p.m., he went back to his residence, found a fishing rod left by his grandfather, and returned to the Longgu River, walking to the fisherman's hut on the other side of the river.

Although these fish fry have not yet reached the "minimum catchable size" stipulated by law, Chen Jun must try them out first in order to test the new building.

The fisherman's hut in front of me was larger than I had expected.

On the left wall, there hangs a fish head and spine specimen.

To the right is a wall displaying fishing gear, but it is completely empty.

On the wooden platform below, two areas are divided: a baiting platform and a fishing reel maintenance platform.

To put it simply, the former is actually a wooden table of moderate size, on which sequins, feathers and various metal parts are placed for "fishermen" to make lures.

The latter is a small table with a soft cloth, screwdrivers, and other tools.

Although Chen Jun's fishing experience was not extensive, he was quite familiar with some basic knowledge.

In no time, he adjusted the float, prepared the bait, pinched the bait onto the hook, and with a slight flick of his wrist, cast the fishing rod into the middle of the river.

Since it was just a trial fishing trip, Chen Jun's movements were very casual.

After waiting quietly for a while, the float on the water suddenly paused, and then slowly rose.

He seized the opportunity, exerted force upwards, and with a slight vibration at the rod tip, he reeled in the fishing line without much effort.

A small crucian carp, about two fingers wide, was pulled ashore and thrashed about on the grass.

"These don't look like newly released fish fry?"

Looking at the fish whose shape was clearly off, Chen Jun asked with some curiosity.

Normally, these fish fry that are still feeding on plankton are only about the length of two finger bones.

But the crucian carp in front of me, although it can only be considered a juvenile fish in its growth period, is obviously much bigger.

With some confusion, Chen Jun put the fish into the plastic bucket next to him, put away his fishing rod, and hurried back to his residence.

Lying in bed in my bedroom, I opened City Simulator and found the building data interface.

Fisherman's Hut

[Level: Lv1 Simple Wooden Hut]

Experience points: 1/200

[Special Effect: Fish near the building grow by 60%; if they have reached their growth limit, their weight increases by 30%.]

[Residents gain 1 experience point for each fish they catch]

Upon seeing the "Special Effects" section on the page, Chen Jun's earlier doubts were instantly resolved.

Unlike other buildings, the Fisherman's Hut's upgrade system focuses on enhancing its initial special effects.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that the small crucian carp, which should have been a fry, grew to be as wide as two fingers.

"This is an amazing skill, no matter where you put it."

If the game map weren't limited, Chen Jun might have been able to place the Fisherman's Hut in the pond where those "big fish" were.

Fish within the vicinity of the hut will exhibit a significant increase in size.

Furthermore, as the house's level increases, the value will inevitably continue to rise.

"It seems we need to buy some more adult fish and put them in the resort's pond. Whether we sell them or use them as food, it's a very good deal."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jun clicked on the resident data page below.

[Resident: Chen Jun]

[Level: Lv1 Beginner Angler]

Experience points: 1/300

Residents gain one experience point for each fish they catch.

Just like the woodcutter's hut, the fisherman's hut can also enhance the residents' relevant abilities.

......

The next morning, Chen Jun went to the vicinity of Longgu River again and found Lin Shanhe, who was on duty there.

After exchanging a few brief greetings, he got straight to the point: "With the shop gradually getting back on track, your workload will be significantly reduced."

"If you have any new arrangements, just let me know."

"It's nothing much, just that there's a new place I need you to look after."

Leading a bewildered Lin Shanhe, Chen Jun quickly brought him to the fisherman's hut: "This is it."

"Okay, then I'll hang around this area more often from now on."

"This hut is a fishing spot. You have to stop those tourists who are just wandering around. If they want to fish inside, tell them it's five thousand dollars an hour."

Upon hearing this number, Lin Shanhe felt it was simply outrageous: "Five thousand..."

"Just quote me the price. If someone thinks it's worth it, they'll naturally pay the price."

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Although he didn't know what Chen Jun was up to, Lin Shanhe still obediently agreed.

Having verified the cabin's functionality, Chen Jun understood its value better than anyone else.

Just like those "artworks" that can sell for tens of millions with just a few hasty strokes, they are waiting for that destined person.

Moreover, the Fisherman's Hut is a real "treasure," not just something with so-called artistic value.

Chen Jun also considered opening a fishing training class, similar to the Woodcutter's Hut, by utilizing its upgrade features.

However, it's perfectly acceptable to try a different revenue-generating method in order to experiment with new marketing approaches.

......

Back in his office, Chen Jun realized that the first batch of "legacy" at the former chemical plant site had been almost completely demolished, so he opened the game again and moved his viewpoint over there.

Sure enough, after several days of construction, large open spaces have been created on the previously crowded land.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jun first placed a few of the resort's regular apartments there.

Both in terms of appearance and function, these apartments are very suitable as "staff dormitories" for Sun Hung Kai Properties.

With just a few minor tweaks to the internal details and the removal of traces of external operations like price lists, it would be no different from the employee dormitories of large corporations.

After finishing, he turned his attention to the buildings that had not yet been demolished.

Another round of clicking ensued.

Since most of the low-durability buildings had already been demolished, the point increase this time wasn't very significant.

[City attractiveness: 62→68]

The next building is not far away from being unlocked.

Chen Jun suddenly realized that among the buildings and functions he had acquired so far, the upgrades to [Terrain Editing] and [Sky Watchtower] were positively correlated with the number of points.

When the [Terrain Edit] feature is obtained, resident satisfaction is 30%.

For every 50 points gained, the skill level increases by one.

As for the [Sky Watchtower], the upgrade requirement is 20 points of [City Attractiveness].
