God Simulator

The company finally saw layoffs.

Neither of the two old employees showed up at their workstations, and their desks were cleared and empty. The beginning of resignation is always unexpected, and the end is always unpredictable.

There is no such thing as saying hello to each other, holding a farewell party, and blessing each other as in TV dramas.

Only people disappear silently.

Lu Yao had actually been mentally prepared for this.

When Boss Huang started working from home, he was laying off employees in disguise, using salary cuts to force some people who were just dawdling to resign.

When leaving the building, Sister Peng caught up with Lu Yao in her Mazda.

She rolled down the window and said, "I'll give you a ride?"

Lu Yao quickly shook his head.

"Let me tell you the real story."

Sister Peng put away her smile: "I started a small decoration company with a classmate. She kept an eye on the site and found specific people. I have been drawing pictures and making budgets for two years. I'm doing pretty well now."

"If you are interested, you can come to our place."

Only then did Lu Yao understand.

No wonder Boss Huang was worried about Sister Peng leaving her job before. It turns out she still has this side job.

"If you want to resign but haven't found a good job for a while, you can come to us and try. Maybe the income will give you a little surprise."

Lu Yao was a little confused.

I didn’t even say I wanted to resign.

"You have been absent-minded these days, often thinking about things alone... Are you having sex with your girlfriend?"

"..."

"It seems not."

Sister Peng said: "Men will always be worried, besides women, it is their career. Doesn't it mean that your work is not going well? Lao Huang still asked me."

Lu Yaoxin said this was purely a misunderstanding.

It was entirely because of the simulator that he often couldn't help but think about the pixel world. The eras have changed and the version of the fragmented world has been updated, making him constantly thinking about how to operate next.

"You really don't want to resign?"

Lu Yao shook his head.

"Then I believe you. That's what I'll tell Lao Huang later."

Sister Peng started the car: "He was the one who asked me to find out about you, but I thought, if you really want to leave, you might as well go to my place. Let's go."

Lu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I didn't expect that my inadvertent actions would leave such an impression on others.

The economic environment is not good. From the boss to the employees, everyone is nervous and sensitive. The workers are afraid that their bosses will take advantage of the money and run away, and the bosses are also afraid that their employees will delete their accounts and disappear the next day.

Lu Yao couldn't help but think.

In the 30 years since their god disappeared, many pixel villains may also suspect that they have been forgotten and abandoned by the god.

…

Lu Yao sat in front of the computer, eating dumplings cooked over low heat and moving the mouse.

Yesterday, he was busy too late. He went to bed after tinkering with the two wonders and naming them, without even looking at their properties.

At this time, he started to click through them one by one.

…

[Yao People’s Monument]: An ancient monument built by the Garlic tribe, a building that was born earlier than the city, recording the names and deeds of the forerunners.

In the city where the Yao People's Monument is located, everyone's popularity +1, and the probability of negative events in the city is reduced.

…

Reduce the probability of negative events in the city?

This is also a new buff.

Lu Yao estimated that it should be similar to pirate attacks, large-scale diseases, or civil strife like Yancheng... which would have a direct negative impact on the city level.

Monuments can contribute to the stability of a city and are beneficial in the long run.

He set his sights on the next one.

…

[Puji Theological Seminary]: The first seminary and school established in Yaocheng, it transformed into a wonder after the change of eras, teaching theology and other knowledge to everyone.

All those who have completed their studies at Puji Theological Seminary have +1 knowledge and have a certain probability of understanding the [Theology] ability.

…

The role of the seminary is more intuitive.

Academy trainees improve their knowledge, and once they understand [Theology], it is equivalent to stepping into the transcendent side, and they can improve their level by observing miracles.

Examples of transformations that rely on [theology] include the legendary prophet Heimila and the great elder of the Ascetic Order Shiojiu.

The only problem is that the description "certain probability" usually means buying a lottery ticket.

Lu Yao didn't care either.

As long as there are enough people studying in the seminary and the time is long enough, there will always be a few lucky ones. Now at least there is a channel to become a transcendent, giving the little pixel people more opportunities.

The names he gave to these two wonders also represent personal wishes.

Monument to the Yao People.

He hoped that the Garlic tribe could remember that it was all people who created the history of the tribe, and the heroes on the monument were only representatives of all people.

Puji Theological Seminary.

The name implies that the seminary is for the relief of the most common pixel villains.

The establishment of the two wonders brought Lu Yao two apostolic marks, and also allowed Yao City, which already had an advantage, to further demonstrate its status as the city's leader.

Lu Yao began to conduct a population census.

Population: 61,420

Yaocheng: 29,508

Yancheng: 14,113

Sanillo: 15,090

Others: 2,709

The other population refers to those who have not settled in the three cities, but still believe in Lu Yao or extraordinary beings.

At the beginning of this era, the populations of Yancheng and Yaocheng were nearly equal. Now the population of Yaocheng is rising rapidly, while the population of Yancheng continues to plummet.

Lu Yao carefully observed the villains in Yao's city.

Today there are many immigrants in the city, wearing all kinds of clothes and decorations, and a considerable number of them are escaped slaves.

Many people fled from Yanchi and flowed into Yaocheng.

The long-term spread of faith to the outside world made Yaocheng more attractive to some islanders, mountain people and savages. Sitting on three wonders, Yaocheng becomes particularly dazzling and famous.

As one goes, the other goes up, and the size gap between the two cities suddenly widens.

A large number of foreign people continued to pour in, and the order of Yaocheng was not affected in any way.

This urban governance ability is due to the stability of the Temple Society.

Lu Yao switched his perspective to the city's leader, Prophet Yaoshao.

At the entrance of the side hall outside the temple, the 53-year-old prophet Yaishao was speaking to the people in the temple.

“In the near future, the seminary will need to add a [medical school], and scholars will need to learn medicine and treat patients.”

"The scholars of the Temple Society will not only go to Yancheng and various islands in the sea, but also need to further exchange knowledge with the fish people of Sanilo. We still know very little about this world, and we must remain humble and diligent."

"Starting from this year, every new scholar who joins the temple will need to complete at least one pilgrimage. The miraculous sites contain countless knowledge and inspiration. This is a natural treasure house given to us by the gods."

Some scholars suggested: "Prophet, the group of believers in the north have always wanted to be recognized by Yao City. They call themselves the [Northern Temple Army] and use carrier pigeons to send messages, hoping that we can support them..."

"Yao Cheng has always not interfered in Yancheng's internal issues."

The prophet's medicine spoon had a firm attitude: "Reply them, if they can completely eliminate the slave trade in Yancheng, we will be very grateful. They free the slaves, and Yaocheng will continue to be properly resettled."

…

Next, Lu Yao turned his attention to Yancheng.

In the parliament hall of Yancheng, the citizens' council is still wrangling.

Someone suggested: "We must form an army and gather the slaves to form a complete and powerful army, so that we can resist the continued harassment of pirates. Then we can go further to sea and destroy the pirates' lair."

"This is a good idea. But how should we count the slaves who are gathered together? Slaves are property. I can sell slaves to everyone here at a low price to support the city's defense."

"It's ridiculous, now you're still thinking about the slave business!"

"Then are you willing to donate your slaves for free?"

"you!"

"It's better to let one person control all the slaves and let them fight together."

"No, what if we lose control? How do you know that this man who has acquired all the slaves will not be more dangerous than a pirate?"

"In my opinion, the money is still not enough. Let's continue talking with the pirates. We will give them as much as they want..."

"How can that work! There is no such business!"

"Quiet, everyone."

A slave trader said: "In my opinion, it is better to ask Yao City for help and let the Temple Society of Yao City drive away the pirates. The extraordinary warriors led by Mr. Yan Geer cannot participate in the war, so we can only hope for the help of the Temple Society."

"no!"

"The Temple wants to cancel the slave trade, which is definitely not possible!"

This proposal was opposed by everyone.

Lu Yao glanced outside the city.

Yancheng's old port is still in ruins, and the new wharf to the west is under construction, but it is still in its infancy. There are signs of destruction and burning around it, indicating that it had been attacked by sea before.

Lu Yao could see it clearly from a bird's eye view.

Further out on the sea, three galleys of the Northern Temple Army were loaded with villains and were coming menacingly.

Another war is about to begin.

For today's Yancheng, rebuilding the port is considered a success.
