Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

......

[You established a three-year plan for the development of the empire before the Eternal Winter Monument, and now, a year has passed, and everything in the empire is thriving.]

[Beloberg Academy of Sciences brought the empire a crop called "Hope No. 1" that has higher yield and stronger cold resistance. ]

[The two major pioneering groups of the empire have explored the rift world deeply, cleaned it up, and have begun to build a greenhouse to plant "Hope No. 1". ]

[The original three-year plan was forced to end after the past year - because all the plans and commitments in the three-year plan were completed in excess within a year. Even you did not expect that with everyone working together, Beloberg would have such a strong development ability.]

[Because the three-year plan ended early, you got a new entry - End of the plan (purple)]

[End of plan: In order to ensure the steady development of the empire, you have drawn up a three-year plan for the development of the empire.

But you really underestimated the empire's capabilities. Such a development goal will not take three years... In fact, one year is enough.

The Empire is not satisfied with this plan. Your people need more trials and more distant goals. They are ready to go and wait for your guidance.

Power: The development rate of the "Second Empire of Yalilo" increases by 20%, the agricultural development rate increases by 40%, and the biological research rate increases by 20%. 】

I didn’t expect that this three-year plan would be successfully achieved in just one year…

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron scratched his head, feeling a little surprised.

When he set the goal, it was not small, and it was based on the development level of the First Empire of Yalilo under Xi'er's control in the last simulation. After careful calculation, he came up with the three-year plan goal...

He really didn't expect that this could be successfully completed in just one year, which shows how abundant Beloberg's productivity is.

"If such a goal can be accomplished in just one year, then many of the previous ideas can be overturned..."

Ron muttered to himself thoughtfully. He had carefully planned the development of the Second Yalilo Empire before. According to his estimation, it would take at least ten years to completely take back every inch of land in Yalilo-VI.

But judging from the current situation, Ron could actually be more confident.

"According to the current situation, if there are no unexpected situations, and we develop steadily for five years, we will be able to completely open up the entire Yalilo-VI..."

"By then, perhaps it will be time to completely release 'Snowstorm Immunity' and allow all people to completely evolve..."

Ron thought thoughtfully, and couldn't wait to click on the light screen in front of him to let the simulation continue.

This simulation has great potential, and he can't wait to see how far it will go...

The text on the screen gradually faded, and a new note appeared on it:

[A year of development has passed quickly, and you have not stopped because of last year's achievements. Instead, you continue to sit on the throne in Klippel Castle, carefully reviewing thick documents. ]

[There is a gentle knock on the heavy door of the office. You look up and see the previous Great Guardian, your current right-hand man, Cocolia, walking in.]

The text on the screen faded, and a new picture emerged:

Cocolia walked in from the door with a hesitant look on her face. She looked a little different from usual. She was not as decisive as before, but instead walked in small steps. It was unknown what she was hesitating about.

Ron looked up from the heavy documents, saw Cocolia's hesitation, and pointed it out directly:

"What? What's the matter?"

"There's no need to hesitate... You know, the empire is busy right now, and I don't have much time to waste. Just speak frankly."

But when she heard Ron's urging words, Cocolia's face still looked a little hesitant.

She looked at Ron's somewhat tired face, thought for a moment, and then calmed down and made what she thought was the best decision.

She stretched out her hands behind her back, holding a rolled-up piece of letter paper.

"This is what I saw next to my bed when I woke up this morning... It says 'Sent by the Masked Fool, to Ron'. It's a message for you."

Cocolia had a complicated look on her face and handed the letter to Ron:

"Although I have read the letter without your permission."

"It contains some nonsense that I cannot understand, but there is only one very important point. It says that you secretly prayed to the [Abundance] Pharmacist and received a blessing that can make people live forever and swallow the star core..."

She opened her palm towards Ron. In her palm was a round blood-red berry, which sparkled beautifully in the sun.

"So...can you explain to me what exactly this is?"

"The...blessing of the pharmacist?"

Chapter 4 - Ron is ready to fight (5k)

The image on the screen paused, and new words appeared on it:

[Cocolia brought you a message from Sambo and a fresh blessed berry.]

[This berry is brightly colored and has a fresh fruity aroma. It was obviously picked from the branch not long ago and is definitely not an old fruit that has been stored for a long time.]

[You took the letter handed to you by Cocolia. There were dense wrinkles on the letter, and a little water stain on it, which seemed to be Cocolia's sweat.]

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron was slightly startled.

He had never trusted Cocolia, even though the Cocolia in this simulation not only directly abdicated the position of Grand Guardian to him, but also tried his best to promote the integration of the upper and lower levels, and even did not obstruct the establishment of the Second Yalilo Empire, and even privately helped Ron resolve many opposition forces in his capacity as the previous Grand Guardian.

However, because her performance in the previous simulations and what Cocolia did in the Bengtieyuan plot were too abstract, even though Cocolia had achieved such a level, Ron still found it difficult to believe this phantom god of civil war and never gave her any real power.

He simply let Cocolia be his close attendant to help him convey various government orders to the grassroots, and let Cocolia help him deal with some complicated government affairs that did not have much impact, using her as his right-hand man - the kind that specialized in doing useless and troublesome things.

But this time, Cocolia's performance somewhat changed Ron's opinion of her...

A blessing that can grant immortality and is enough to swallow up the core of a star...How could the blessed berries have such an effect? ​​This is obviously Sambo's one-sided statement, in order to seduce Cocolia and make her his helper in causing trouble.

If it was the former Civil War Phantom, Cocolia would have been bewitched by Sambo long ago and would have stabbed the Empire in the back without knowing how.

But now, looking at what Cocolia said on the screen just now, and then looking at this letter with dense wrinkles and soaked with sweat...

I wonder how long Cocolia had read the letter, how many times she had read it over and over again, and how hesitant she was to crumple the letter into this shape?

However, no matter what she was hesitating about, the fact that she finally brought the letter paper and the blessed berries and was willing to ask him calmly was enough to change Ron's opinion of Cocolia.

Perhaps, Cocolia, who is on the right path, is far from being so vigilant and repulsive...

Ron thought thoughtfully, watching the notes continue to pop up on the screen:

[You opened the letter and saw the familiar handwriting on it. It was exactly the same as the words on the letter that Natasha had given you in the secret room of the clinic:]

[“The gun that appeared in the first scene finally came to the moment of firing - was it a blank bullet, or a real bullet filled with gunpowder and iron sand? It all depends on how you answer.”]

[“Let me see… Oh, ‘The empire is an extension of my hands, everything is under my control.’——What a confident statement. I guess this is the answer you gave.”]

[“But does the empire belong to you alone? What about the people of the world? Are they just puppets under your will?”]

[“I have already warned you… the more happiness that reflects human dignity, the higher the level of happiness.”]

[“No matter what the outcome is, you should always give everyone a chance to choose… This is the dignity they deserve.”]

[“Immortality, immunity to wind and snow... The blessing obtained by praying to the pharmacist is very good. It can even swallow up the threat brought by the star core. Such a good thing should not be guarded so strictly and locked in the treasury by you.”]

[“It’s time to focus the spotlight on the people—what choices will they make when faced with the blessing of the Medicine Master?”]

[“I sincerely hope that the show will end in a happy ending.”]

[“As a fool dancing together on this grand stage, Old Sambo pays you the highest respect.”]

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron almost rolled his eyes and fainted from anger.

He clutched the soft quilt of the Goethe Hotel tightly, gnashing his teeth in anger:

"Sambo, Sambo, how did I offend you..."

He had clearly never had any contact with Sambo, so why did Sambo keep making things difficult for him? He even went so far as to personally intervene?

If you say that Sambo really doesn't like him and wants to fight him to the death, that's fine. If you have the guts, just go down and fight him. Even if Sambo is really the envoy of the [Pleasure] Order, Ron is not afraid at all.

Anyway, it's just a game. If you really can't beat him, just shout "Pharmacist, it hurts, help me", then turn around and transform into the second stage of the [Abundance] Order, and fight with Sambo directly.

Regardless of whether you win the game or not, at least it was fun.

But Sambo just won't come out, he keeps hiding in the dark, using all kinds of tricks to disgust you...

Ron felt that this was like encountering a super dung monster when playing a Souls-based game. It's not that strong, but its mechanism is very disgusting. It either reads you drinking medicine and raising your hands, or it has a full desire to attack and chases you like a mad dog. The main feature is disgusting.

Now, the simulation is clearly going well. A simple estimate shows that it will only take five years to get back the entire Yalilo-VI and put Beloberg on the road to complete revival. But now it seems difficult.

Ron knew exactly what would happen after Sambo gave the blessed berries to the people...

At the beginning, most people absolutely did not believe that eating berries could gain immortality and immunity to snow and wind.

But when someone became the first to try it out and truly gained the ability to be immune to the rift erosion...

Almost everyone eats the berries.

No one would give up the meat that is already in front of their mouth, and the pharmacist's blessing is obviously the most delicious one.

What a hassle...

Ron rubbed his temples with a headache, forced himself to sit up straight, looked at the light screen in front of him carefully, and thought about his next response plan.

The simulation has come to this point, and the upcoming troubles are obviously not something that can be easily solved.

The blessed berries should have been distributed several hours ago. Although it is not too late now, some people have definitely eaten the blessed berries.

It is impossible to completely solve this matter, we can only find ways to reduce the impact of this matter...

Ron thought thoughtfully, tapping the edge of the bed with his fingertips, and the outline of a solution gradually took shape in his mind.

At this moment, the words on the light screen faded, and new words appeared:

[You have read the letter that the Masked Fool Sambo left for you.]

[Cocolia hands the berries to you and asks you again with a serious look, repeating her question:]

[“Is this berry really a gift from the [Abundance] Medicine Man… does it really have those effects?”]

[Faced with Cocolia's question, you are having a headache because of the trouble caused by Sambo and you are at a loss for a moment. ]

[Can Cocolia be trusted? Does she have enough ability to help you? You need to make a decision.]

【请选择——】

[1. Appropriate lies are like lubricating oil, which is perfect for the gears of the Cocolia Empire.

You decide to deceive Cocolia, completely deny the effect of the blessed berries, and make a plan to properly handle this incident.

If you choose this option, Cocolia will make a choice based on her favorability and trust in you, choosing whether to trust your words.

Depending on whether you trust someone or not, branch events will be triggered: "The Assistant Who Doesn't Know the Truth" and "The Empire Collapses." 】

[2. Don’t employ someone if you doubt him, and don’t doubt someone if you employ him… It’s time to tell Cocolia about the blessing of the pharmacist.

You decide to trust Cocolia, you will tell Cocolia the true effect of the blessing and make a plan to handle the matter properly.

If you choose this option, Cocolia will make a choice based on her favorability and loyalty towards you, choosing whether to continue to be loyal to you.

Depending on loyalty or not, branch events will be triggered: "A Wholehearted Assistant" and "The Collapse of the Empire". 】

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron was slightly startled.

Both options are very risky... No matter which one you choose, if you fail, the event "The Collapse of the Empire" will occur, which is obviously a badend that Ron does not want at all.

But the success rates of these two options seem to be similar. If you think about it, it is clear that Cocolia's favorability, trust and loyalty towards him will not be too high. It is estimated that they are all stuck on one line and maintain a relatively stable state.

After all, he and Cocolia had only been in contact for a little over a year in the simulation, and he had always been wary of Cocolia and had not seriously worked to improve Cocolia's favorability, so there was no possibility of improving these values.

But I didn't expect to use it now...

Ron was a little helpless. After thinking for a moment, he chose option number two.

The reason is simple. Since the results of these two options are similar and both have a high probability of leading to the disintegration of the empire, Ron simply doesn't need to care too much about the others and can choose the one that suits his heart.

Cocolia performed well in this simulation, successfully making Ron feel that this guy might still be saved and could be trusted.

In this case, it would be better to choose option number two and tell Cocolia directly about the blessed berries. He could also briefly explain the harm of the blessed berries and why he has not dared to distribute this thing in large quantities to the people of the empire until now, allowing the entire human population to undergo a large-scale biological evolution.

After making things clear, if Cocolia does not choose to betray, then there will be no hidden dangers in using her. There is no need to worry about whether Cocolia will betray again after her lies are exposed in the future. In the future crises that may arise, people can trust her more and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Ron thought so, watching the option box on the screen fade away, and new text popped up:

[You confessed everything about the blessed berries to Cocolia without reservation.]

[Now, the secret that was originally between you and Natasha has been shared, and Cocolia has also become an insider about the blessed berries. ]

[After listening to your story, Cocolia frowned and asked you a serious question:]

[“Is the Empire’s food reserves sufficient?”]
