This game is so weird!

The next morning.

Several players yawned and returned to their underground cryogenic hibernation pods, preparing to log off and go to sleep.

Meanwhile, a row of expressionless men pushed rice, peas, lettuce, and carrots that they had worked hard to grow all night to the first floor of the vertical farm. They put them into the entrance of the automated warehouse, preparing to go up and grow another batch of vegetables before logging off and going to sleep.

After playing the market simulator all night, they feel they've basically figured it out.

This is an idle game. After you've finished farming, you can go to the lounge outside the farm to play cards. Players from other simulators can also come to this lounge to play cards together.

It offers a wide variety of games, including Blackjack, Guandan, and Dou Dizhu, and you can even bet your hard-earned contribution points to try and get rich overnight.

However, the other areas were all closed off. After exploring the farm and the lounge, they tried many methods but couldn't get through. Every time they reached the edge, they would stop and not move, and could only look around from the same spot.

In general, the activity area of ​​the Market Simulator is the farm and rest area, as well as the market in the square in front of the rest area; the activity area of ​​the Chef Simulator is the canteen, market and rest area next to the square; the activity area of ​​the Guard Simulator and the Checkpoint Simulator is the checkpoint and rest area. They are also the ones with the most people playing cards in the rest area, and they don't usually have much to do.

Other simulators are similar, mainly involving playing cards in the lounge. The difference is that construction workers and cleaners have endless work and can take on tasks at any time to go to different locations to do them.

Furthermore, there is interaction between different simulators. For example, after they have just finished planting the harvested crops, a player from the chef simulator will walk over and take some of the crops to prepare breakfast.

Simulator players yawned as they began their day's work, while the gamers, having rested overnight, gradually got up to prepare for their guild visits in the commercial district to accept quests.

Starting today, the jobs of these simulator players will gradually be shared by other gamers, who will serve as background NPCs and permanent employees, while players will mainly be temporary workers.

Guild Hall.

After a long day of work yesterday, Miley sat confidently behind the service desk, introducing the guild's latest services to Anya, who had come to post orc cleanup and nomad rescue missions.

"Anya, have you really not considered building your own house? It's not very convenient for the COG office to always be in a hotel, is it?"

"Today, the guild launched a new housing task subsidy, which covers 20% of the task rewards. That means you only need 20% of the funds to post a construction task!"

Anya bit her lip, looking somewhat hesitant.

Is it really a good idea to use such important contribution points in this way? Orc cleanup and rescue missions also require a lot of contribution points.

"Moreover, the explorers are very enthusiastic; reducing their contribution points for combat missions by half is no problem at all."

Miley squinted like a little cat thief, clicked on a cleanup quest posted by a guild, and laughed, "Look, these quests only cost less than half the contribution points Anya posted, but they're still very sought after!"

"If the Security Government Alliance had its own building, it would be much more convenient to add other officials or have soldiers temporarily stationed and resting there. Besides, building missions aren't expensive; normally, the price of 10 combat missions would be enough."

Anya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded. Indeed, Team D might retreat here to rest and regroup, and Colonel Hoffman's command center could also be temporarily relocated here after its withdrawal.

Not only is it safer, it's also more convenient.

"Then I'll post a construction quest: COG Office Construction."

"Benefiting you with 30000 contribution points~"

Miley deftly guided Anya to complete the task and place the order, her smile growing even sweeter as she listened to the sound of contribution points being credited to the database.

3000 contribution points, acquired!

In two more days I can build my own little home!

Miley smiled happily, imagining how happy Leah would be, alone in the dormitory building.

Before long, a group of players walked in.

It just so happened that it was Er Miao and her friends whom Miley knew. Seeing this, Miley prepared to call Er Miao over and give them this lucrative job.

It doesn't matter who does it, they were the first ones to arrive anyway.

"Second Meow! Over here!"

Upon seeing Miley calling her, Er Miao said goodbye to her teammates and walked over with her best friend Er Wang.

"Mary, I found something really nice yesterday, so I thought I'd give it to you. What's up?"

"I found a small radio yesterday and placed it on the service counter. I handed it to Miley and asked happily."

What she loved most about the game was the interaction with the NPCs; who would have thought the game would have such realistic reactions? Not to mention, these NPCs genuinely think of you after receiving gifts—it's much better than in real life!

Miley's eyes lit up. She glanced around furtively, and seeing no one was around, quietly put the radio under the table before saying, "I have some good news!"

"The guild has launched a new event to help homeless people build new homes. Starting today, there will be many rewarding building tasks."

"Just now, Ms. Anya from COG also posted a building quest: build a COG office. The rewards are generous, and it also gives you a connection with COG. Are you interested, Er Miao?"

"Okay! Okay!"

Er Miao grabbed Miley's hand and shook it excitedly. She loved meeting different people, and it was great that it wasn't a combat mission. Yesterday, her older brother dragged her around doing missions, and they ran around outside all night. By the time she went to bed in the middle of the night, she was exhausted.

He only left her to do the tasks after he finished ranking up, even though she seemed reluctant before, now she's working like this...

Thinking of her older brother, Er Miao looked disgusted.

"Okay, let's register quickly." Miley pointed to the task list and placed the construction task in front of Er Miao. "Don't let anyone else get there first."

"Uh-huh!"

Er Miao clicked on her headset to confirm and accept the task. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, turned back to Miley, and smiled, "Miley, after we finish this task, let's build you a house in the residential area this afternoon~"

"Remember to bring Leah along!"

"Hmm... Ah?"

Miley was stunned. By the time she came to her senses, Er Miao had already led his friends out of the guild, leaving her sitting blankly on the stool.

"I don't have that many contribution points..."

After leaving the guild, Er Miao followed the location left by Anya to the newly built camp outside the commercial district. Along the way, she avoided several employees who looked rushed but had no expression. One of them even had a deck of cards in his hand and shouted, "I'm going to be late!" as he ran past her.

Er Miao tilted her head, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with these expressionless faces.

"Where is this strange person?"

Erwang said, "If Ermiao hadn't pulled her back, she would have been hit by that person."

"Yes," Er Miao nodded, "Let's hurry over to the residential area to find Anya."

"Um!"
