This Game Is Too Realistic

"Thank you." Hearing what he said, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a headache.

The city lord of Boulder Town, although invisible, at least had a city hall where he could find someone to communicate with.

There was neither a city lord nor a city hall in Ideal City.

Fortunately, he had prepared before coming, having learned some rumors about Ideal City in advance.

Listening to Mr. Wu's introduction to the corporations and Ideal City, Shu Yu gradually formulated a plan.

He needed to first ascertain the political views of different groups, find the faction most likely to establish friendly relations with the New Alliance, then persuade the shareholders of that faction as much as possible, while ensuring that the opposing factions did not completely turn against them.

Currently, the Silver Wing Corporate Group appeared to be a natural ally of the New Alliance, the Long Axe Group directly benefited from war, and the Ideal Group was a potential client.

As for the Health Luxury Corporate Group... He wasn't sure what they really wanted. The Endpoint Group seemed naturally opposed to their activities. After all, their endpoint cloud and smart technology were almost useless outside of Ideal City.

The tasks seemed somewhat like what the administrator had told him about attracting investment.

The pathways to achievement he saw so far were through a public speech at the council and the other by communicating directly with the real power holders at the shareholders' meeting.

Now that his mind was clear. The next steps were also clear.

His gaze falling on Ample Time behind him, Shu Yu revealed a look of satisfaction. "... Right, allow me to introduce you to these two gentlemen behind me."

As he spoke, he gestured for Ample Time to come over. He lightly patted his shoulder. "This is our hero from the Burning Corps."

Hearing this, Wu Changnian was momentarily stunned. His eyes widened in shock. "The Burning Corps? Is that the one from that day..."

Ample Time understood what he was saying and was worried about how to explain the tricky issue.

However, Shu Yu, unfazed, smiled and took his shoulder, indicating he would handle it.

"That's him."

"His name is Ample Time!"

As the words fell, the atmosphere on the scene instantly boiled over!

...

Official Website Forum.

Battlefield Cheerleader, who had logged off early, was vividly describing how he turned danger into safety and successfully extracted heavyweight information from a tricky merchant.

However, apart from the Tail's reaction of, "Wow, you are so impressive!" and Teng Teng's cheer, "(ω)", not many seemed interested.

The Golden Lizard Kingdom was too far from the New Alliance. Although it sounded like it had a large territory and many people, the game's background story contained too little about it.

In contrast, people were more concerned about when he would make his way to General, or at least visit the Army's home over on the West Coast.

The only person concerned about him was Old White, reminding him to come home for a visit and remember to save his progress.

Perhaps out of comfort, or maybe because his post was indeed well-written, the elusive doggy game designer surprisingly made an appearance. Although he didn't speak, he liked the post and pinned it.

The premium tag gave Battlefield Cheerleader the motivation to continue updating his post. Yet, as he was trying harder to describe the scene, a review post suddenly popped up on the forum and quickly became the focus of everyone's attention.

[New Map Review! A Utopia Hidden in a Corner of the Wasteland!]

- ... It's a gigantic city, unmatched by any real-world city. Although its area is less than half ofShanghai, there are probably several times more buildings over 500 meters there than on the entire Earth combined.

- At least a million, or even ten million people live there...

In the post, Ample Time simply described his observations from the day he arrived in Ideal City.

He described the local residents' lifestyle in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Firstly, regarding clothing, the local residents' style was quite diverse, using virtual modeling tools to DIY their own clothing and even selling models had become a fashion.

However, rather than bright colors, they pursued simplicity in design to express their personalities.

The most common colors on their clothing were silver, white, gray, and black.

Next came brown, blue, and beige.

And there was a reason for it.

According to the guide named Wu Changnian, they were bathed in colorful holographic lights all day. Wearing colors which were too flashy would make them look like holograms.

That was also one of the most interesting aspects of Ideal City, where almost every building's exterior wall was a rentable holographic screen. Except for public transportation, anyone could use holographic devices freely, as long as they obeyed the law.

That also led to significant light pollution.

In 21st century Earth, people needed colorful clothing to stand out in a crowd, but here, less colorful clothing was needed to distinguish oneself from the colorful neon lights.

Secondly, they had to talk about food. Due to relatively abundant resources, the common pursuit in Ideal City was a healthy diet. They used simple cooking methods to preserve the natural nutrients of the ingredients.

More than a cultural concept, it was more like a scientific approach.

The upper class enjoyed the highest quality ingredients. Ordinary people chose industrially produced goods, and those who were relatively less well-off considered synthetic starch, protein, and sugar-made nutrient meals.

It was for that reason that many Enterprise employees showed a strong interest in the New Alliance's unique food culture and the concept of cooking.

In Ideal City, it was basically impossible to eat meat from different species, as all food from the wasteland underwent strict inspections at customs to prevent the influx of harmful genes.

As for housing, it was quite interesting. The higher one's status in Ideal City, the higher they lived.

Therefore, to judge a person's status, asking which floor they lived on and whether their home had windows was enough.

Moreover, although the streets of Ideal City were quite crowded, transportation was very convenient.

Most people's means of transport mainly relied on track traffic that crossed buildings, or they used smart wearables to call taxis. A few owned maglev cars, which could conveniently reach any part of the city.

Of course, they could only travel within Ideal City.

Those maglev cars needed a specific environment to operate. On the wasteland, they could only run on wheels.

Aside from the four basic needs of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, the local residents also had a fifth basic need unlike those of other wastelanders, information.

That was right. Information in Ideal City was a basic need, just as important as air.

Ample Time specifically mentioned that point in his post.

- ... In the real world, although living without a mobile phone can be inconvenient, it's not impossible. But here, living without a smart device is truly impossible, whether it's for navigation, transportation, or online shopping, everything is linked to a single ID, so there are almost no stowaways here... Of course, maybe I just haven't seen any.

- Smart devices produced by Endpoint Group and bionic prosthetics produced by Health Luxury Corporate Group have integrated into every corner of their society.

- It's likeCyberpunk 2277, a utopia sitting on ruins like a nest, the inheritor of an era of prosperity, favored by the Great Stag God... Anyway, from the sky to the helipad, every frame I saw felt like the developers were burning their budget.

- More details are still being explored... Speaking of which, I must apologize to Night Ten. Those NPCs seemed to think I was the last survivor of the Burning Corps.

Ample Time felt genuinely embarrassed as he typed out the final misunderstanding.

The scene was chaotic at the time.

When he left the helipad, his pants were almost pulled off by those enthusiastic reporters. Thankfully, they weren't.

The first rule of the Player's Handbook or whatever number it was, stated they were not to undress in public.

In the end, with his desperate resistance and the guards' help, he managed to preserve his dignity and wasn't caught in an embarrassing situation. At the very least, the Mole bastard beside him failed to capture any ugly shots.

Various signs indicated that the residents of Ideal City were even more unrestrained than those of Boulder Town.

But rather than saying they were unrestrained, it might be more accurate to say they were open minded.

The fellow named Wu Changnian even joked with him, saying that if he went to a bar that night, probably many people would want to get involved with him. However, he left him a good piece of advice not to take their sweet talk seriously, and be careful not to get photographed and posted on the Endpoint Cloud.

People who like messing around with different partners usually also like to show off. It was likely he would appear on the first pages the next day.

Shu Yu also warned him not to run around.

They had flown over on the Orca transport plane, and they represented the New Alliance. If he was corrupted by members of the Enterprise, Shu Yu would immediately relieve him of his duties and report his behavior to the administrator.

Ample Time thought the warning was entirely superfluous. He wasn't some naive youngster like Night Ten. He started his financial independence journey from scratch, and he had become a landlord before the age of 30. He could retire and live his life however he liked. He wasn't someone who couldn't withstand temptation like that.

Moreover, there was already someone keeping him in check at home. Though it was a fictional wife... But it felt so real! He always felt that if he betrayed that affection, he would feel guilty even if no one said anything.
