Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

"Perhaps this monster is still wandering around the administrative district, dragging away innocent pedestrians in the middle of the night, then biting them alive, swallowing their bones as they scream..."

Listening to the fearful words of the uncle in the felt hat, the two looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and saw a little panic in each other's eyes...

Discussions like this have appeared countless times among the huge crowd. Although the seeds of disaster have not yet caused a real disaster and there are only undercurrents in the empire, this is a change that is extremely easy for the grassroots people to feel.

These undercurrents are the reality that impacts the people at the bottom, and there is no possibility of hiding the possibility of infected people who have eaten the seeds of disaster...

The huge crowd in the picture was extremely noisy, until Ron walked out quickly from the podium, holding a monster covered with green hair, with a barely recognizable human outline, which was extremely irritable and tried to break free from Ron's restraints, and roared wildly with its big mouth full of fangs. At this moment, all the noises subsided.

Not only out of respect for Ron, the only emperor of Beloberg, who has made great progress in the whole of Beloberg in the past year, but also out of fear for this crazy monster covered with tiny green vines...

Ron stood calmly on the podium, holding down with one hand an extremely violent infected person who was trying to break free, and simply scanned the expressions of everyone in the crowd.

Fear, vigilance, panic, confusion... The vast majority of people are not yet prepared to face these infected people and don't know how to deal with it all.

...exactly as he expected.

This was the reaction he wanted.

He calmly glanced at everyone's face, and began to preach with a serious face...

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

[You held a speech, using the infected as evidence, and announced to everyone the horrific situation that would occur after eating the seeds of disaster.]

[Almost everyone felt extremely frightened because of this, and for a moment, people were in a state of panic, as if the empire would fall apart in the next moment.]

[But you know that the empire cannot collapse so easily, and everything that is happening now is under control... It is better to say that these fears are what you need most after giving your speech.]

[You seized upon the simple dream of the people to live in safety and stability, and immediately proposed your solution to everyone after throwing out the monster of the Seed of Disaster Infected—]

[Those who have not eaten the seeds of disaster can choose to hand them in immediately, while those infected who have eaten the seeds of disaster will be sent to the Beloberg People's Hospital for isolation and treatment. ]

[Because of the fear of the infected monsters, a small group of people handed over the seeds of disaster in their hands, accounting for about one-third of the holders of the seeds of disaster. ]

[After the speech, another group of people surrendered to the Iron Guards and the Pioneer Group, admitting that they had eaten the seeds of disaster, and hoped to be admitted to the Beloberg People's Hospital for treatment...]

[These people would have become seriously ill and irrational, and the threat of riots affecting the entire empire has been temporarily suppressed by your actions.]

[The faction "Yarilo Second Empire" obtains the entry: "Undercurrent (Gray)"]

Chapter 4 - Ron: Eternal Disaster? So what? (k)

[The faction "Yarilo Second Empire" obtains the entry: "Undercurrent (Gray)"]

[Undercurrent: Everything in the empire is on the right track, but it is like an undercurrent beneath the calm sea, tearing apart the empire's thriving appearance, while inside it is surging a terrifying undercurrent that is enough to destroy the entire empire...

Next, the empire will begin to accumulate stress values, and the crisis bar will be divided into four stages. Every time the stress value increases by 25 and accumulates to a certain stage, the empire will trigger the stress collapse event of that stage.

Each time a stress stage is reached, the empire's growth rate, empire stability, and empire cohesion will be reduced by 25%.

The stress value in the Empire Crisis bar is now: 5/100.

When the pressure value accumulates and reaches the final stage, the pressure collapse event will be triggered: "The Collapse of the Empire".

When the event is triggered: "After the collapse of the empire", the entry "Undercurrent Surge" will change to the entry "Eternal Disaster (Black)". 】

[Eternal Disaster: The spark of civilization is a beautiful embellishment on this land of ice and snow, and fresh life is the proof that this world is alive... They should have moved forward with the empire, towards a future full of hope.

But now, the fool wearing a smiling mask is high above, picking up the silk thread in his hand, stirring the greedy desires deep in people's hearts...

Hope will eventually disappear into their abyssal mouths and become a delicious delicacy to satisfy their appetite.

After this entry is loaded, the new hostile creature "Fertility People" will become the main species of the Second Yalilo Empire. The empire will immediately fall apart and lose all its cohesion. The stability of the empire will be fixed at 0. Perhaps someone will take this opportunity to establish a new regime. 】

[Please make good use of your choices to control the empire, reduce people's panic and stress, and resolve crisis events that may occur.

The above actions will reduce the stress value. When the stress value stabilizes at 0 and lasts for one year, the entry "Undercurrent" will disappear. 】

Looking at the words appearing on the light screen, Ron couldn't help but remain silent.

This simulation...is simply the most difficult one among all the simulations he has had.

Because of the blessing of the pharmacist and the complete end of Sambo, everything began to move towards another extreme.

Ron clicked on the "Eternal Life Disaster" on the light screen, and a small tip popped up in the blank space on the light screen:

[Black entries are a special level of entries, often appearing as disaster entries, representing an extremely large disaster.]

This kind of black entry had never appeared before when the Antimatter Legion was fully awakened... But think about it, they are just the vanguard of the Antimatter Legion. It is a bit unfair to compare them with the eternal disaster caused by the blessing of the Pharmacist and the secret guidance of the [Pleasure] Order.

The crisis we are facing this time is indeed worthy of this black quality... It is a disaster term that can almost completely end a simulation game and directly determine that this game is heading towards a desperate situation.

but......

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his heartbeat speed up slightly and his body heating up slightly.

He looked at the words on the light screen and felt himself becoming excited.

This is a challenge... It's like the subtle excitement that made his blood boil when he first saw Midir, the darkness-devouring dragon, in the vast underground abyss of the Ringed City when he was playing Dark Souls before, and faced the abyss dragon that covered the sky and the sun.

Eternal disaster? So what?

Ron thought confidently in his heart, and carefully clicked the light screen in front of him to continue the simulation.

The text on the light screen faded, and a new option popped up:

[Random crisis event has been triggered——]

[An infected person who had eaten the seeds of disaster suddenly appeared in the Golden Opera House and launched an indiscriminate attack on the opera audience.]

[Faced with this crisis, you choose——]

[1. "The infected keep appearing. It is the duty of the Pioneer Group and the Silver Mane Guard to deal with them."

You believe that crisis events caused by infected people will occur frequently in the future, and you need a simple and effective solution.

You decide to immediately dispatch the Silver Mane Guards and the Pioneer Group to deal with this daring infected person, restrain him, and send him to the Beloberg People's Hospital for isolation and treatment. 】

[2. "Time is running out. Sending the Pioneer Group and the Silver Mane Guards may only be able to clean up the mess... It seems I have to do it myself."

You believe that this incident has reached a critical juncture and must not be assigned to the Silver Mane Guards and the Pioneer Group, otherwise the innocent people in the Golden Opera House will not be saved.

You decide to take action yourself and go to the Golden Opera House to resolve this trouble.

Choosing this option will cost you 70 energy points. Your energy value today is: 100/. 】

Looking at the options that popped up on the light screen, Ron did not hesitate and immediately chose option number two.

For Ron, every day's energy is very valuable. At this critical moment, he needs to be thrifty and put all his energy where it is most needed.

Although there was only one infected person in the Golden Opera House this time, this was the first crisis event after all, and Ron took it very seriously... Who knows what kind of danger this crisis event hides?

Even if he ordered the Pioneer Group and the Silver Mane Guards to go and solve the problem now, a mere infected person theoretically wouldn't cause much trouble. Ron was still prepared to take action himself and completely resolve this crisis.

He didn't want to see a surge in stress values ​​due to a single carelessness, causing the empire to trigger a stress collapse event...

The option box on the light screen faded, and new text appeared on it:

[You think this crisis should not be underestimated. Even if it is just an infected person causing trouble, he dares to reveal his true identity in the Golden Opera House, so he is definitely not a simple person.]

[Ordering the pioneer group and the Silver Mane Iron Guard to go will only result in a mess. There is no point in cleaning up the mess. You must completely eliminate this crisis.]

[You decide to take action yourself, and immediately leave Klipperburg and rush to the attacked Golden Opera House.]

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

Standing outside the Golden Opera House, Ron could see the renovated opera house in all its splendor, and it seemed that there was no danger inside...

But he frowned tightly, and if he stood there carefully for a while, he would find that the music that should have been faintly coming from the opera house disappeared at this moment. The quiet opera house was like a corpse that had been deprived of its life, lying lifeless in the Belloberg Administrative District.

He rushed into the opera house without hesitation. As soon as he entered, he saw dense vines hanging all over the inner walls of the opera house. It seemed that this was not the most luxurious Golden Opera House of Beloberg, but the primitive jungle on Yalilo-VI that had long been swallowed by the cold wave...

A faint whimpering sound came from the dense vines. Ron simply glanced over there and saw that someone was tightly entangled in the vines and tied to the wall.

Apparently, almost everyone in the opera house was entangled by the dense vines and bound to the spot.

"There's something wrong with this infected person... Why can it produce so many vines?"

"Does he have the ability to control these vines that are parasitic on him? He is definitely not an ordinary infected person..."

Ron muttered to himself, and walked towards the depths of the Golden Opera House without hesitation.

As he walked, his eyes flashed with a bright green light, and the peaceful and gentle power of [Abundance] spread along with his footsteps, expanding rapidly like flowing water and rushing into the vines.

Vines that flickered with faint golden light grew out from these vines under the influence of Ron's ability, just like the survival of the fittest in nature, madly absorbing the vitality of these vines and sucking them dry.

The newly grown vines seemed to have their own spirits. They picked up the audience members who were previously entangled and placed them gently on the ground.

The audience who were suffocated and unconscious by the vines fell onto the soft vine bed that Ron had built for them and were simply settled down.

All the vines that were entangled with others in the entire Golden Opera House were easily dealt with by Ron within tens of seconds, and most of the people were saved from life-threatening danger.

With the influence of the power of destiny, Ron also completely discovered the location of the infected person...

He walked quickly into the hall and saw an infected person who was completely covered in vines, like a green algae monster, lying on the ground, biting a spectator who was dressed in luxurious clothes.

The audience member had been torn into pieces by the monster and had completely lost all life.

Ron keenly saw tiny, seed-like spots of light on the monster's body falling to the ground, and then vines grew out, wrapping around the other unconscious spectators in the hall and sending them to the monster's side...

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

[You encountered the infected who attacked the Golden Opera House. ]

[You discovered a new evolution of the Infected. Because of its ability, you named it "Infected·Growing Body". ]

[This type of infected person can spread vine seeds and induce reproduction, manipulate these vines, have an extremely strong appetite, and completely lose all reason. ]

[Faced with this infected person, you did not hold back, and quickly activated the power of [Preservation] Fate. Infinite imaginary energy condensed around it, completely trapping it in the dark golden crystal amber, turning it into an infected person specimen.]

[You can't help but feel fortunate that you chose to do it yourself. If you let the Silver Mane Guards and the Trailblazers take action, they would never be able to do what you did, saving the vast majority of innocent people in the Golden Opera House, and directly trapping this infected person, and accepting this special infected person as experimental material...]

[Because you have perfectly resolved this crisis, the Empire's stress value has been reduced. The current stress value is 0/100. ]

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

His choice was absolutely correct. The crisis was indeed not simple. For example, Ron felt that it would be difficult for the Pioneer Group and the Silver Mane Guards to handle this infected Overgrowth.

In the absence of intelligence, although they could definitely get rid of the monster, they would definitely pay the price of casualties. They would not be able to crush it as easily as Ron did and harvest an infected specimen as a test subject.

This direction is correct. We just need to continue to act cautiously and keep the stress level at 0 for a year...

Ron thought so in his heart, clicked the light screen in front of him, and started to operate seriously.

[You sent the infected specimens to the quarantine area and gave them to Natasha for dissection experiments to study the information about the infected.]

[Natasha lived up to your expectations and quickly gave you a detailed experimental report.]

[The Empire's intelligence on the infected has improved. 】

[It has been a week since you gave your speech. Because of your warnings and encouragement, the attitude of most people towards the seeds of disaster has completely changed.]

[During this period, you have been very serious in guiding the development of public opinion, and secretly issued orders to the Silver Mane Guards and the Pioneer Group. Under your orders, these soldiers fled into the dark night and left their eyes and ears in every corner of Beloberg.]

[According to the information about the seeds of disaster provided by the people actively or passively, the soldiers of the empire, under your command, mobilized a large number of troops and carried out a plan to recycle the seeds of disaster at a ratio of one hundred to one. Under the condition of fully ensuring their own safety, they recovered the seeds of disaster and restrained the infected people who ate the seeds of disaster.]

[Because there was sufficient information about the infected, many new forms of the infected were discovered, but they did not cause any unrest and were completely suppressed by the Silver Mane Guards and the Pioneer Group.]

[Your plans and actions are very effective. The Iron Guard and the Pioneer Group can collect a batch of seeds of disaster every day, and safely escort the infected people one by one to the "Beloberg People's Hospital" without any casualties, completely isolating them in the quarantine area and separating them from normal imperial citizens.]

[Any troubles caused by these infected people in the empire were originally solved by the pioneers and the Iron Guards. No one was attacked by the infected, and no infected people caused unrest. The situation in the empire was completely stabilized. ]

Looking at the words on the light screen, Ron did not relax.

Although the current situation is good, it does not mean that the empire is completely stable and there is no crisis...

This is just the beginning. It will take a whole year to resolve these dangers.

Wanting to maintain stability for a year...is not that easy at all.

The text on the light screen faded, and a new note popped up:

[Under your control, the empire has spent a month without any danger. ]
