This city simulation game can affect reality.

A pungent odor.

This is not a minor issue that can be ignored.

Chen Jun reviewed all the comments that mentioned the relevant terms again.

Unfortunately, most of these tourists only expressed their emotions without mentioning specific reasons or locations, or even making subjective guesses.

This makes the problem more complicated.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons for the generation of pungent odors.

Disinfectants, building materials, refrigerant leaks, electrical fires, incomplete combustion of diesel or kerosene, mold growth, sewage leaks, animal carcasses, certain plants, gas leaks...

Without being there in person, it's difficult to determine the specifics of the situation.

Chen Jun turned his gaze back to the computer screen, inspecting every corner of the resort, and even some interior views.

This eliminates many possibilities.

"The only uncertainty right now is whether animal carcasses will be displayed as models on the map."

Based on previous experience, everything in the resort has its own model—except for the gray-clad workers who come out from behind the corrugated iron walls.

Chen Jun could find even sparrows on tree branches and fish that occasionally jumped out of the scenic lake.

However, whether the carcasses of these animals will become part of the game after they die remains to be seen.

"In the original game, if a resident has an accident, the hospital needs to be contacted to transport the body."

Back when he was a newbie, Chen Jun ruined many of his carefully managed save files because he didn't build enough hospitals.

After inspecting all the buildings and locations, he found nothing unusual.

After locating the layers panel, Chen Jun adjusted the map to the underground pipe network layer.

Besides showcasing the overall view of the resort and the interior view of individual buildings, what City Simulator is most praised for is its underground pipe network layer.

Each type of pipe with a different function is displayed in a different color in the game.

Blue represents the water supply network.

Dark brown represents the sewage pipe network.

Gray represents the rainwater drainage network.

Red indicates a gas pipeline.

Green represents communication network cables.

Orange represents the central air conditioning heating and cooling pipes.

If any of the pipes is cracked, old, or damaged, the system will mark it with an exclamation mark.

The game also replicates the resort's underground pipe network at a 1:1 scale.

Aside from using different colors to make it easier for players to distinguish them, the structures are exactly the same.

But the moment Chen Jun opened the layer, he knew his plan was going to fail.

Because most of the pipes that came into view were marked with red exclamation marks.

Perhaps due to the difference in thresholds between games and reality, most of the pipes currently owned by the resort are considered high-risk facilities.

In a normal game, Chen Jun would immediately start making changes and adjustments.

However, now, in some areas where lines are close together or intersect, improper operation could potentially paralyze multiple systems within the resort.

However, relying on his years of gaming experience, he still managed to spend a few minutes replacing some of the pipes.

With the help of games, replacing underground pipes no longer requires digging up the surrounding soil or even completely demolishing the entire structure, as is the case in reality.

"But we still can't find the source of the irritating smell."

In terms of the severity of the problem, although the pipe has reached the point where it has been identified and alerted by the game system, at least there has been no negative feedback in reality yet, giving Chen Jun enough time to resolve the issue.

......

The next morning, around 6 a.m., before the resort had even opened to guests, Chen Jun summoned several senior executives, including Lao Zhou, to a meeting room.

Before he could even speak, Lao Zhou had already anticipated the theme of the meeting.

"I've been quite busy these past few days. I only found out about the new comments circulating online yesterday, and I haven't had a chance to report it to you yet," he said, looking at Chen Jun.

"The most urgent task now is to find the source of the pungent odor. The fact that this is not a case of a single day's concentrated feedback is enough to show that the source has not yet been resolved."

If the relevant comments were concentrated on a certain date, Chen Jun might not have been in such a hurry.

However, for several consecutive days, tourists have raised the same question.

"My subordinates told me a couple of days ago that there was a smell in the tea garden area to the north. I thought it was some trash that tourists had thrown away, so I told him to take care of it himself." Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the head of the logistics department no longer dared to hide it.

"In the future, if you encounter similar situations, report to your superiors immediately. If you don't take your subordinates' words seriously and something goes wrong, they will be the ones who take the blame."

Although Chen Jun was not entirely satisfied with the way the head of the household handled the matter, he only gave him a verbal warning.

The most urgent task now is to solve the problem.

"Here's what we'll do. Divide your men into three groups and have them conduct a comprehensive inspection of the resort to find the source of the odor as soon as possible," Chen Jun said coldly to the head of household.

He then instructed Liu, who was in charge of cleaning, "Before the park opens, arrange for someone to conduct an emergency cleaning of the entire resort, especially the area near the tea garden that the old customers mentioned."

Although the resort cleans every day, in order to pursue efficiency, staff at each location usually clean their own area and rarely use targeted tools such as deodorizers.

The logistics department is mainly responsible for the area around the employee dormitories.

Everyone nodded in agreement, got up and left the office to go about their respective duties.

......

Around 8:30, after tireless efforts, the logistics department finally completed the work assigned to them by Chen Jun.

The spring cleaning is complete.

The source of the pungent odor has been found at the foot of the mountain to the north.

Although it is quite a distance from the tea garden, the smell can still spread and affect that area.

Upon learning of the situation, Chen Jun rushed to the scene immediately.

To be precise, the problem stems from a river that flows through the resort.

The river sits at the foot of Longding Mountain, connecting several surrounding villages.

"How can there be so many dead fish?"

The moment Chen Jun arrived at the scene, he immediately frowned.

From upstream, fish carcasses with their white bellies turned up floated down intermittently, staining the surrounding stream blood red.

The stench, a mixture of fishy and nauseating putrefaction, choked everyone's breath.

If it weren't for the fact that the surrounding environment is generally quite beautiful, one might even think that a large-scale battle had just taken place here.

In reality, this was truly an undeserved disaster for the resort.

The river wasn't part of the resort's property, but its pungent odor was attributed to the resort.

"Call the Environmental Protection Bureau and complain."

He covered his mouth and nose and said to Old Zhou, who also looked troubled, beside him.

In this situation, Chen Jun's first thought would definitely be to seek help from the authorities.

But as soon as he said that, Lao Zhou immediately waved his hand, rejecting his idea.

"Mr. Chen, you've just taken over the resort, so there are some things you're not yet familiar with."

"Huh?" Chen Jun looked at him, puzzled.

"There are some things I need to tell you slowly."
