I have a map editor

How should I put it? The subprime mortgage crisis has hit the global economy, dealt a fatal blow to the manufacturing industry and even all industries in Europe and the United States, and has seriously affected the entire monetary system, so it is difficult for unaffected enterprises and companies to exist. Although a few countries such as the United States and Great Britain have transferred part of the economic bubble through their financial systems, they have not been able to recover from the blow in time, and have become increasingly dependent on the newly emerging world's second largest consumer market.

For example, it can be seen from the trade data of later generations that, taking the United States as an example, in addition to chips, its main exports to the mysterious country are agricultural products. On the contrary, industrial products account for the absolute majority of what the mysterious country exports to it, and they are all refined and deeply processed industrial products. In addition, the United States has been in a trade deficit for many years.

This is also the reason why the United States launched a sweater war and trade sanctions against the mysterious country in a parallel universe. However, by that time, the offense and defense had changed, and the mysterious country took the trade stick and kicked the door of the United States: Open the door! Free trade! !

Otherwise, why do people say 0202 is the first year of magic? Isn’t this scene magical enough?

However, it will be more than ten years later by then. At present, as a company that does not play stocks or speculate capital and is mainly engaged in manufacturing, and has a large number of orders in Europe and the United States, if the subprime mortgage crisis really breaks out, many sellers will definitely lose their ability to pay.

So the entire enterprise needs to make corresponding adjustments.

"Hello, sir, could you please change seats?"

On the plane, Yang Sheng, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, heard someone say this. He opened his eyes and saw a beautiful girl dressed as an elite OL white-collar worker speaking to him politely.

As long as it does not affect himself, Yang Sheng does not mind helping others. He took the other person's ticket and saw that it was the seat next to his wife Emily. The two of them decided to go out at the last minute, so they bought the tickets when they arrived at the airport. They did not book the tickets in advance, so they were unable to buy connecting seats.

"no problem"

Yang Sheng smiled at her and happily exchanged seats with her.

Seeing his appearance, especially that smile which is extremely impactful to women, the pretty girl was distracted for a moment and her face turned slightly red, but she immediately came to her senses and let a foreign woman wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses enter her seat.

This girl looks like an assistant or a translator.

However, Yang Sheng did not focus on her or the foreign woman, but went straight to the exchanged seat.

"Surprise"

Amy was talking to the pretty girl sitting next to her, also a foreign girl wearing a baseball cap and smoky makeup. She smiled and hugged Yang Sheng, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Someone swapped seats with me and happened to be next to you"

"Avril, this is Lucas my husband. Lucas, this is Avril, the Avril I saw at her concert a while ago."

"Hi Lucas, I'm Avril"

The pretty girl was a little surprised about their relationship, but after hearing Amy's introduction, she smiled friendly and extended her hand, and Yang Sheng shook hands with him.

"Hello, big star, my wife likes you very much, and I am also very happy to meet you here. Oh, by the way, welcome to the mysterious country."

Yang Sheng took one look at her and immediately identified her with the American rock or pop music diva from his own time and space. Compared to time and space zero, this one was a low-profile version.

But even the low-profile version is still a rare white beauty, only a few Xiaolings lower than Emily.

However, this did not hinder Yang Sheng's liking for her at all. This isopatois in front of him and Avril in time and space zero, except for slight differences in appearance and body shape, there is not much difference in other aspects. She should be passing through the mysterious country on her global tour. She herself is very friendly to the mysterious country. Moreover, after the disaster that cannot be discussed in detail, she not only donated money, but also became the European and American star who donated the most, truly living up to the saying "beautiful people are kind-hearted".

This is in stark contrast to the person who said in a public interview that the disaster was retribution from a mysterious country. I don’t know whether that disaster will break out in the United States in a dozen years. This person’s entire family was affected by the disaster and some relatives died as a result. She also posted a video on social media to accuse the local government of inaction. This is retribution.

As the saying goes, when friends come, we have wine; when jackals come, we have shotguns. If a friend comes to visit, Yang Sheng will naturally show more enthusiasm and friendliness.

It was a pleasure to talk with Avril along the way. Although she didn't speak Chinese, Yang Sheng's English was not lost after returning to the domestic environment for a long time, so there was no communication barrier.

After landing at the Beijing airport, Yang Sheng and Amy, as local bosses, planned to treat her and invite her to travel together for a few days.

"Well, it seems not possible. Although I am taking this flight alone without my agent and assistant, they should be waiting for me at the airport...ah, they are there."

Walking in the VIP channel, Avril suddenly pointed at a group of mixed Chinese and Western people outside the channel and said.

"Oh, that's a shame, this is my business card"

Yang Sheng gave her a business card with nothing on it except his name and personal number. "I wish you a great success at the concert. If you have time and want to go out for fun, just give us a call."

"Okay, if I want to go out and play, I will call you." Avril took Yang Sheng's business card, took a look at it, and then put it in her backpack.

"Bye~" Although Emily was her fan, she did not linger too much. She took Yang Sheng's arm, smiled and waved goodbye to her.

0088

Yang Sheng has a residence in the capital. Although he could get a residence in a residential area with regular guards for security, he found it too troublesome, so he just settled for a larger and more "ordinary" courtyard house.

After coming out of the airport, the couple took a taxi, picked up the car at their residence, and went straight to the Olympic venue in Beijing, the Bird's Nest.

This time I came out to take a look at the construction site over there.

"Come to think of it, I wonder if Avril here will also be bitten by insects and suffer from a serious bacterial infection."

"She shouldn't be that unlucky, and didn't I leave her a business card?"

The couple both have a liking for this American star. Now they are alone in the car without any third party. With their "magic vision", they don't have to worry about eavesdropping devices in the car, so they talk about some more private topics.

"You are too insincere. She knows who we are. We are just strangers whom we met once on the plane. Even if she was really bitten by an insect and got sick, how could she call us? Besides, she should be on the other side of the ocean at that time, which is even more impossible."

Yang Sheng, who was driving, shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. If I suddenly get too close to her for no reason, it will arouse her vigilance, right?"

Amy also agreed with this idea. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about...we create some artificial encounter accidents, and then give her some hints or something..."

Yang Sheng has his own moral code. In the ordinary world of the magic-free plane, he almost never uses abilities beyond the scope of ordinary people, let alone makes a profit from it. However, if the purpose is to "save lives" and the target is a friendly person, this standard can be relaxed.

He has always had flexible principles and standards.

"Okay, I'll have someone check her whereabouts and say you're her fan. It just so happens that you've been to her concert with your family... Tsk, it seems that because of me, Hong Kong City's status in this world has risen to the same first-tier status as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Her last concert was held at Hong Kong City's football stadium, right?"

"Um"

The two walked and chatted all the way. On the way, Yang Sheng used his mobile phone to send a text message to his team of engineers at the Bird's Nest stadium. Now all venues, residences and conference halls related to the Olympics are under strict control and are not open to the public.

You have to ask your subordinates to take out two badges before you can pass the relevant roadblocks and access control.

Yang Sheng has always been low-key. He came here not because there was any problem on the site, but just to take a look. Therefore, he did not notify anyone except his engineering team. The couple strolled around the nearly completed Bird's Nest stadium and discussed whether the whole family should come to watch the opening ceremony.

Everything went smoothly on the project here, and there were no unsolvable technical problems. Near noon, after giving a few words to the team leader, the couple left the Bird's Nest venue.

If the couple hadn't wanted to make friends with Avril, they would have just bought plane tickets and returned.

It's not like a few years ago. With the connections of "Traveler Entertainment" in the circle, it's easy to find out the whereabouts of an international star like Avril. With a few phone calls, they found out where she was, and the two drove straight to the hotel where she was staying.

"Hey? I don't know if this hotel has any signature dishes. What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I don't know. Let's wait until I see their menu."

"Too"

When they arrived at the destination and sat in the private room of the hotel restaurant, Emily opened the menu and ordered food. Yang Sheng pretended to pour tea while secretly scanning the hotel rooms layer by layer with his mental power - being cautious had become his habit. Even in this ordinary world without magic, he tried his best to suppress the fluctuation of mental power to the minimum, to the point where even a traverser from a high magic plane who was good at perception would find it difficult to detect.

After finding Avril, Yang Sheng didn't need to meet her face to face to give her hints. He could directly lock onto the target remotely through his mental power. He didn't even need to use special spells. The difference in mental power between the two was huge. Yang Sheng could directly use his thoughts and strengthen his consciousness to affect ordinary people like her.

Taking into account that the other party might have concerns about body management, Yang Sheng first strengthened the consciousness thread of "hunger", then looked at the surrounding environment, strengthened the consciousness thread of "drinking tea and eating", and set the surrounding environment as the background of this consciousness thread, so that Avril would subconsciously choose this area as a dining place, increasing the chance of "encountering by chance".

After ordering the dishes, Emily drank tea beside him, magnifying her extraordinary perception... If she hadn't lived an almost inseparable life with Yang Sheng for nearly twenty years, she would not have noticed her man's little movements.

However, although the environment here seems relatively closed, it is not a good place to talk about private topics, so she just smiled, shook her head and hit him lightly a few times.

"Huh? What for?"

"What are you talking about? Are you being too cautious?"

“It’s never too late to be careful”

What happened next was a natural progression, because Avril soon appeared at the restaurant entrance with her assistant, and she was the first to spot Yang Sheng and his wife. By "chance encounter", they naturally sat at the same table, and their feelings continued to deepen from their brief acquaintance on the plane.

In the following days, Yang Sheng and Emily stayed in Beijing for another week, fulfilling their promise of hospitality and taking Avril to visit the Forbidden City, the Badaling Great Wall and other attractions, and also went to several good private restaurants.

The friendship between Emily and Avril quickly heated up and finally reached the level of best friends who could talk about anything. The latter also finally learned about Yang Sheng's identity as the founder of "Banana Phone", and the last bit of doubt in her heart was dispelled.

Although not many people know Yang Sheng's image, he is famous and ranks 124th on the Forbes wealth list in the United States. Although this is a very low position, this is because the company under his name is not listed. Basically, anyone who pays a little attention to wealth has seen his name and a lot of articles analyzing him. The most well-known view is that if his company chooses to go public, it will probably immediately hit the top spot on the wealth list.

Avril never dreamed that the couple she met on the plane would be such people, and they were very different from the stereotypes she had in mind.

Young, with outstanding looks... She had seen young people who were both rich and good-looking before, especially in the circle of Vanity Fair, there were many such people, but to be fair, she didn't know why she thought they were far inferior to Yang Sheng.

……

When Li Yugang got up in the morning, his wife Liu Suxin had already prepared breakfast. Together with their son who was in junior high school, the three of them sat in the dining room to eat.

He was originally from the mysterious country of the No. 01 Sky Demon Insect Pest World, and was one of the first laborers there to enter the "Misty Realm Space" to carry out large-scale infrastructure development - yes, ordinary laborers, not engineers or the like.

In addition to the infrastructure construction of the "Misty Realm Space", he also participated in the infrastructure construction of the "Falling Star Sea" world. Before the main project was completed, his immigration application was approved and he became an ordinary resident of the "Crown Eagle Mountain Territory".

Before long, he brought his wife and son, who was still in elementary school at the time, to settle down. Although he failed to buy a house in the "Crown Eagle Mountain Community", the main reason was that the land prices and houses here were several times more expensive than other floating land blocks. In addition, he had just obtained the [Basic Town Citizen Attribute Panel] at the time and was not sure about his ability to make money, so he chose to buy a house and settle down in the largest city, "Stuart King City".

It was said to have the largest population and scale, but it was nothing compared to the scale of the cities in the mysterious country. At most, it was just an urban area of ​​an earthquake magnitude. Moreover, with his income at the time, he could afford the full price of the house after working for 10 years, without even needing a mortgage.

I just didn't expect the "magic level" of this place to be so high. After the completion of the basic projects, such as roads, railways, drainage and water supply facilities, circuits, etc., they don't even need daily maintenance after completion. The expansion brought about by the growth of population and town size, as well as the planning and construction of new urban areas, can be automatically generated by investing corresponding resources in the city's management interface.

At that time, Li Yugang and all ordinary workers like him obtained an unrestricted [Attribute Panel], became a glorious "superhuman", and lost their original jobs immediately... but it did not cause any panic.

After receiving guidance from the Wangcheng Street tutoring class for a period of time, these ordinary workers and original ordinary residents of "Stuart Territory" quickly got used to and integrated into the new daily life system.

[Attribute Panel] is a very powerful "superpower" in itself, and also has very powerful auxiliary capabilities.

The adaptation process was not difficult at all.

And if you really adapt a lot, you can continue to go to the "Falling Star Sea World" to do basic physical labor. Although the income is low, it is not a problem to maintain daily life and provide housing.

Relatively speaking, the income level is much higher than that of the original mysterious country No. 01.

In the beginning, Li Yugang and his wife, who were honest and upright in character, did just that, instead of choosing to become "adventurers" like most of their other more active companions.

However, just like in the ordinary world, even if blue-collar workers have high incomes, most people will choose to become white-collar workers. Within the "Crown Eagle Mountain Force", although there is no explicit occupational discrimination and there are sufficient legal means to protect the legitimate rights and interests of ordinary workers, in most cases, residents tend to become "adventurers."

It is probably more related to the social environment and the atmosphere of public opinion. Here, "adventurers" are relatively decent professions like "white-collar workers" and have more social resources.

For example, when neighbors from the same residential area get together to chat, or when there are posts and topics on online forums, in the "Crown Eagle Mountain Powers", except for the unchanging marriage, work, income and the like, everything else becomes professional characteristics and career choices, how to match professional teams to adapt to more dungeon environments, how to add points to characters according to professional characteristics, how to allocate talent points for a certain profession, and so on.

It’s not that there is occupational discrimination or anything like that, but in this kind of environment, only by becoming an “adventurer” can one better adapt to the various atmospheres here.

Having an "attribute panel" is an advantage over ordinary people, and it is a huge advantage. It has a strong driving force and can transform people with a decent and honest mentality into "adventurers".

So slowly, Li Yugang and his wife started from basic community tasks and became civilian "adventurers".

Gaining "experience points", earning "rewards" for tasks, obtaining "weapons and equipment" through various channels, and allocating their own experience points, attribute points, and talent points according to community tutoring classes or "strategies" on the Internet have become things they are familiar with.

And in general, even the lowest-level community tasks, such as cleaning the shadow space and clearing animal feces, would earn you much more than doing ordinary physical labor.

"High rewards" is another powerful driving force that prompts ordinary people to transform into "adventurers".

Although the remuneration in the "Guanyingshan Force" is high and the cost of several major items in life is low, there are indeed many places where various "resources" are needed.

Take houses for example. A basic apartment of 60 square meters is indeed very cheap. In some floating land territories where land and housing prices are even lower, it can be afforded with just three years of average work income. However, subsequent upgrades and expansions have a unified price for all forces.

A few years ago, the big boss of the faction, Yang Sheng, came up with some new tricks and new functions. All buildings in the territory have the [Attribute Panel] function, and residents can upgrade their houses by adding [Experience Points] or [Special Materials].

It doesn't mean that the house has a level (Lv.)... But to a certain extent, it can be considered that the properties added by the house after upgrading are not the values ​​of strength, agility and endurance, but its own area, or space. Take a basic 60-square-meter house as an example. The default level is Lv.1. When it is upgraded to Lv.2, the usable area doubles to 120 square meters. It can be set on the exclusive [Property Panel]. The extra 60 square meters can be placed side by side at the same level, or stacked in 2 or 3 layers.

Adding [special materials] or [components] can unlock special features for developing the house. For example, [floor-to-ceiling windows] can increase the window area of ​​the house without affecting the structural strength of the house, or [magic daylight windows] can increase the window lighting when the room is in the shade. Different numbers of green and blue quality [space bricks] can increase the usable area and space size of the house while keeping the level of the house unchanged.

None of the above features, “upgrades” and “additional components” will affect the overall appearance and interior layout of the residential building.

Some advanced components like tree trunk street lamps and small teleportation arrays are also open to the general public. However, advanced components like tree trunk street lamps consume extra magic energy. In the Crown Eagle Mountain Force, this is the same basic energy as electricity and is very cheap.

If you want to install a small [teleportation array] at home, you need to report to the street police station and obtain the corresponding permission. This is free and does not require additional fees. However, the [magic energy] consumed for each transmission will be included in the corresponding meter, unless someone in the family can refine the [magic energy] by themselves.

These are just some of the places where "resources" are needed in terms of living. There are more places where other characters, professions, attributes, etc. need them.

For example, although the [Attribute Panel] is a resident benefit and can be upgraded for free from version 1.0 to version 3.0 (Yang Sheng has not yet opened version 4.0), due to differences in personal talent quality, individuals have to collect relevant materials and props if they want to improve the quality.

In a blink of an eye, 15 years have passed, and it is now the year 2023 in the Ordinary Mysterious Country.

City University of Hong Kong.

Seeing my roommate receiving a

After a phone call, he left the dormitory mysteriously, which aroused the curiosity of the other three girls.

The head of the dormitory put down the book and said: "Hey, do you think Shirley has a boyfriend?"

The second sister in the dormitory: "I calculated with my fingers: it is very likely"

The third child in the dormitory: "Just follow them and see. I want to know who can capture the heart of our youngest child."

"Walk"

The eldest and second oldest in the dormitory are from a mysterious country, and the youngest is a foreigner who settled in the mysterious country with her parents many years ago. All three girls have a boyfriend with whom they are emotionally stable, and only the youngest, Sulli, is still single.

This year is graduation season. Although the eldest and second oldest children are not from local areas, they spent 16 yuan to complete the off-campus training course organized by "Crossover Technology" and the school in their sophomore year. They studied "International Trade" but worked as female trainees. When they were interning in their senior year last year, they had already secured jobs at the "Crossover" Group, with an annual salary starting at yuan.
